A GRAND SHOWING MADE BY THE SOUTHERN. Here are Some Facts for Busi ness Men to Read One member of the "Southern" Raleigh Branch ban paid $750 fu monthly instalments, and nan to morrow, if lie wanta to, withdraw J9O0 25 a clear profit of ?156.25. Show me any other association who can beat this. Another ineinbi-r who had paid $312 and wanted bin money, got it and $67.05 more than he paid in. I Hold this stock right here iu Raleigh didn't even have to withdraw it ami the party who bought it made $75.00 in clean cash an to maturity, lie promptly said, "give me ten more share and started again; and be is one of the best business men and owns property np into the thousand. Sensible man none like the Southern. A KB Vol! MoKTMAUED? Have you been paying interest for several jears and still owe the same? Don't you want to pay off your mort gage and not miss the payments? I will let you have the money nud give you seven years time and only charge you (5 per cent interest, fall on C. C. Mi: Donald. Did you know that it is a fact and can't be contradicted that when you borrow money from homr 11. & L. As sociations you agree to pay monthly until stock matures and in this way will pay between two and three hun dred dollars .moke than you will pay it' you call on C. C. McDonald, who will give you a definite contract. You know exactly to a cent what you may exj cct to pay and yon make so many J:iy ments and no more. MSTKN. Another party wanted $2(X) a few days ago. 1 placed his stock, which is drawing 10 per cent interest, as security and got him $200 for ninety days, at ouly 8 per cent, which is a net. profit of 2 per cent to him, even during loan. 1 challenge any asso ciation which can do as well as the Southern to deny these facts. Now, did you ever own any stock in other Building and Loan Associations and try to dispose of it and get left, and take less than you paid in ? If so, 1 simply mention these facts to show you, as a sensible man, that it is to your interest to be in the "Southern." 1 can hIiow you some stock which has been running three years and on which $123.50 has been paid in and on which the Building and Loin offers $111.68. Isn't this liberal. Suppose this same stock was iu the Southern of Kuoxwille, what would it be worth in cash today ? $142.02 $18.52 more than was paid iu. None to equal the Southern. SO BETTER NONE Ad HOoD. The best and safest investment that can possibly b. made. I will leave it to your good sense. Call and see for yourself. J will show you over 100 of Raleigh's best citizens who have sub scribed to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars worth of the Southern's stock. 1 will show you an investment of one of llaleigh's best financiers and one of her wealthiest citizens, who has $1,000 of paid-up stock. "Planked down the cash" at one time, and considers it one of his best and safest investments. 1 will show you 50 shares of stock taken by another of llaleigh's best citizens, one who you will acknowledge knows how to invest and where to place it. He pays $30 per month and in seven years will have $5,000, and will only have paid $2,540. "Are you in it ?" If not, and "don't want to get left," call and take live, ten or twenty shares. Sold 00 shares to three men since July. "They will have it," and walk up and take it; don't even have to look them up. You never hear, or ever will, of any one giving up the Southern for any other association, but I can give you some "eye optjners" of those who have come out of others and taken stock iu the Southern. Te Southern does not loan on its stock, but if you want any money you can get every cent you have paid in and interest besides. Recollect you never lose anything in the Southern. You can draw out in six months if you want to, and if you want to re-enter - you are not charged one cent addi tional; after paying one admission, you go in free afterwards.. You can withdraw at 10 per cent interest ad ditional to your monthly payments after stock is twenty-four months old. Show me a better or safer investment and I will recommend it. Believing the Southern to be the best met ns of your saving something and paying you a handsomer profit (75o. pe. week will eai'fy five shares, and in seven years you have $500) than anyjany other in vestment, I cheerfully recommend it to the citizens of Raleigh as safe, sure and secure. Three million, five hun dred thousand and six hundred dol lars deposited as security for its stockholders. What more can you ask ? Where can yon find as much ? Call on C. C. McDonald and get some of the . Southern literature which fully ex plains, so that a child can understand. No wild cat attachments. No evasion of facts.

The damage to cotton by the present wet meat her is great. The populist county convention raeeta at the court house September 11th. Convicts were brought to the peni tentiary yesterday from Halifax and Rowau counties. The News and Observer has a new outfit of type and in a few days will appear iu a new dress. The work of putting dowu the foun dation for the cement floor of the mar ket house is going on rapidly. Just a year ago today the great August" cyclone occurred, which did such a vast amoimt of damage iu this state. It is not generally known, but it is said tj be a fact, that the state capi tol is the most symmetrical building in the I'nited States. North Carolina's largest cotton mills are at Rocky Mount and Concord. Each has 25,000 spindles. The Coi. cord mills (Udell's) have 1,250 looms. The executive committee of the state board of agriculture met this afternoon. It was a called meeting, to consider matters relative to the state museum. It is alleged that the law forbidding the shooting of partridges before November 1 is being violated. All violations ought to be reported. The penalty is $10. September 12th and 13th the North Caroyna road improvement associa tion will hold a state road conference at Charlotte. Delegates are expected from all portions of the State. The local note which appeared sev eral days ago in the Visitor, stating that Mr. Kelly, of Sanford, had sold out to Mr. Spence, should have read to Mr. Potter, at Hpenee's old store. Day before yesterday the Atlantic Coast Line ran a train from Florida to Washington, filled with Knights of Pythias, and broke the running records, making 780 miles in 880 min utes. On the Southern railway train this afternoon, bound for the firemen's neeting at Winston, were the mem bers of the Atlantic steam fire engine c.nnpany of Newbern. The chief of the Newbern department was also on board. Rev. Tom Dixon, of New York, preached Sunday at his father's old church, near Cleveland Springs. The building was tilled and people stood about on the grounds around it. It was the biggest gathering known there in years. A number of the guests at Cleveland Springs went out to the church. ; This afternoon the executive com mittee of the directors of the insane asylum met. Tomorrow the full board meets. It will among its work elect an assistant physician to take the place of Dr. Cobb, who tendered his resignation sometime ago and who will return to Goldsboro and practice med icine. . There are only thirty-five life con victs in the penitentiary here, while there are 325 in Georgia. Of course these "lifers" are never allowed to go outside of. the prison walls. The con victs within the prison have made this year over a million brick, and have sold 1,250,000. The sales were made in this city, where more building is in progress than in many years. The sales last year were not stTtarge, and a great many brick were carried over. Alexander Mason was brought here yesterday from Durham by jailer Hal yard on a warrant charging him with shooting a man by the name of Bob Jones last December. Mason says it was in self defence, as Jones was mak ing after him with a knife, and he either had to shoot him or get cut himself. Jones was shot in the mouth, but did not die. The Globe says Mason bears a very good reputation, and says he will be able to prove all that he says. The Choicest Meats J. Schwartz, at the Richmond meat market, 222 Fayetteville street, has the choicest meats, bee from the mountains, lamb and mutton. Prompt attention to alt orders. Telephone 114. Aug. 28 tf. POLITICAL POINTS. THE POLITICIANS ARE HARD AT WORK. The Republican Slate Conven tion the Event of the Week. The execn'i.e coiiiiuit lee of the North Carolina association of demo cratic clubs met here yesterday after noon, Mr. Julian S. Carr presiding, and Mr. B. C. Reckwith secretary. Mr. James II. I'oii, chairman of the democratic state committee, was made a member of the club's executive com mittee. The services of the associa tion of clubs were tendered the state democratic committee, and were ac cepted. It was decided that the cam paign be opened September 20th at a convention of the clubs here, the call for which will be issued this week. The state democratic committee also met here yesterday afternoon. Chair man Pou presided. President Carr and secretary Reckwith, of the asso ciation of democratic clubs, were made members of the central democratic committee. It was ordered that the campaign be opened September 20th. Before that date, however, appoint ments will be made in various parts of the state. The central executive com mittee is called to meet Sept. 6, and is requested by the executive committee to hold meetings every other other Tuesday thereafter. This inaugu rates a method of thorough co-opera tion with the chairman, and is at the request of chairman rou. Mr. Wiley Rush, who was called to be secretary by chairman Pou, was formally elected by the executive committee. A member of the republican nation al executive committee was at Wilson yesterday looking over the field. While uothing definite can be found out, it is thought his purpose is to bring about an agreement between Cheat ham and White, the two colored re publicans running for congress in the second district. The plan is to retire the two and put up a populist to carry the strength of both republicans and populists. President Cleveland has given his views on the tariff. They are ex pressed in a letter to congressman Catchings. He says the tariff war is not closed, but must go on until the "communion of pelf is routed. He declares that the democratic livery has been stolen, and has been worn in the service of republican protection. A well known republican here, speaking of the outlook for next Thursday's republican state conven tion, said: "It is most probable that fusion will be accomplished. For one thing, chairman Eaves has only two or three prominent republicans on his anti-fusion side. Some of these are lukewarm and some are, like Archibald Brady, opposed to both Eaves and fu sion. So Eaves will be thrown over board as chairman. The influences against him are powerful. The brains of the party : are for fusion. Two years ago Eaves carried the frttrty against fusion, because he had the negroes with him. Now they are against him and for fusion, for which they will vote almost solidly. An other factor in favor of fusion is Wake county's action. Here the repub licans and populists fused. Many counties have been waiting to see what Wake would do. It is the pivotal county in this fusion business. Many of the delegates to the state conven iion are uninstructed and hence can be led. We will have caucuses the day and night before the convention and at these the real work will be done. Eaves may be able to muster strength enough to make a fight or he may sim ply see that things are against him, organize the convention and leave. No matter whether he wins or loses this year, he will be laid aside as chairmen. Several men are talked about for this place; John Nichols quite prominently. He is the roan who arranged the fusion in Wake and he has worked hard to bring it about all over the state." Chairman John B. Evans, of the re publican state executive committee, is here. He is rather reticent, but keeps his eyes and ears open. The state committee meets tomorrow and the state convention Thursday at noon at Metropolitan hall. . Wake County Democratic Con- " ventlon. The democratic voters of Wake are requested by Mr. Frank Stronach, county chairman, to meet iu their re spective townships Saturday, Sept. 8, to elect delegates to the county conven tion, which is called to meet here Sat urday, September 15th, at noon. The couvtntiou will nominate a county and legislative ticket. The Weather Report. For North Carolina: Local rains. Local data for 24 hours ending a. in. today: Maximum temperature 74; Minimum tempei ature 69; rainfall 0.11. Cloudy, weather prevails in the south Atlantic states, while elsewhere it is generally clear. The low which was central over North Carolina yes terday morning has moved eastward and is disappearing in the Atlantic. It will probably clear here today. The pressure is high in the gulf region and iu the west, while another area of low pressure appears iu the north west. The temperature is generally about normal. Street Cars to the Depot. At a meeting of the board of alder man last evening a petition from the street railway company was intro duced, asking the sanction of the board for the extension of the line to the union depot. The charter of the company gives it the right to extend its Hue to all streets except Wilming ton and Martin streets east of Fay etteville street. Since West Martin street has been paved there has been a tacit agreement that it should be undisturbed, hence, the petition. The request of the company was granted by the board and the line is shortly to be extended. The track will be laid on the side of W. Martiu street from S. McDowell to South Dawson, so as to interfere as little as possible with traffic. Current News Notes. Congress adjourned today. The strike investigation at Chicago before the U. S. commission is attract ing more and more attention. Yester day Pullman himself was ou the stand. He told how his town was built and how it is run and said he considers that he did the clean thing all the way through in regard to his employes. Secretary Carlisle offers $200 re ward for the supposed illicit distiller or distillers in Stokes county who shot W. C. Lewis, a United States dep uty marshal, August 8th, while he was endeavoring to capture a .moonshiner.' Seuator M. C. Butler, of South Car olina, makes a bolt and says he won't abide by the primaries and denounces the election today, say ing that every thing has been cut, dried, packed and salted down, and he will go before the voters in November. There was a prize fight yesterday at Coney Island between the light-weight champions, Griffo, of Australia, and Jack MnAuliffe, the American light weight champion. . The American boy was the winner. Griffo was declared beaten on the tenth round. He fought pluckily and well throughout the bat tle except in the ninth round. McAu liffe was hissed off the stage. Rice, the referee, was laughed at when he declared McAuliffe the victor. Griffo is in good condition and ready for a fight to the finish. Judge Cole, of the District of Colum bia supreme court, denies the petition of Lyttleton P. Dryden, formerly shipping commissioner of Baltimore, for a mandamus on secretary Carlisle to compel his retention in office, the secretary having removed him without cause. Dryden's counsel noted in ap peal. The decision of judge Cole, unless reversed, will establish beyond civil law ;the authority of secretaries of the treasury to remove shipping commissioners at will. Dryden claimed he could not be dismissed, though not in the civil service. The coroner's jury investigating the disaster in the Frank coal mine in Washington, in which thirty-seven men were killed, has returned a ver dict finding that the fire was started by parties unknown. It is believed the persons who fired the mine also perished. v PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIANS. People Who Come, People Who go and People You Know.

Don't buy the car pets until our new ones eome The tariff bill has passed and carpets are reduced wonderfully. We have been waiting for the passage of this bill so we have not bought any carpets. Most merchants went straight on and bought carpets and had them shipped right out regardless of the tariff and they will try to argue you into believ ing the tariff don't affect carpets right away. This is not true. In 10 dayi from day of passage it goes into effect and you can save one quarter of the price of your carpet if you let good sense prevail. We will have a stock of carpets such as you rarely see. Our buyer is to go to New York this week for carpets. Yours truly, D. T. Swindell.
