ay, the t"h;i co business. And Ral
eigh aeiu tliy has better and more
natural Iiantages for carrying ou a
flourishing tobveo market than any
other place in the state. At this time,
when the price of king ctton, as no
longer king, is so low, it lebno.es the
business man and farmer alike to
lok to something else. The thing
for them to look to is tobacco.
Did you ever think of the fact that
this c ity is situated in the finest tobacco
count iy in the world? Is it not very
stramje that the business is not more
encouraged I A Visitor reporter has
seen several gentlemen, bo' li tobacco
men and lion who never dealt in it at
all, and th-y ail agreed that the far
mer in Wake should look to tobacco
for his saltation.
Now, j'ist a few fads. One thou
sand pounds of tobacco brings away
and aboie as much money as live times
that Hiiiouii! of cotton; a thousand
pounds of 1-nf, after being sold and
packed, 1-avi a over four times as muck
iiio o-v. thai is labor money, in a town
as Mini am tint of cotton ; money paid
to bb.-r.-rs h-lps a city, it puts

the Iii! si t i!i aceo country in the world,
I geiii l.-iuau telling a reporter today
that Virginia buyers say the Raleigh
ai.ukot has a larger percentage of line
vr ippers than any other in the state;
; in one part of Wake county several
crops of tobacco were raised that av-
eraged. when sold, 27 i ents a pound,
! a hundred pounds, a tiile that one
can easily lift, bringing m much as a
bale of cotton.
. These facts are telling. The local
tobacco men say that the business has
Icen slowly improving and that the
outlook is bright. All Haleigh needs
to have a nourishing market is for a
few enterprising men to help out.
Will they do it?

A SHVHKK ATTACK
Which Causes a Stir In Local
Republican Circles.
The fol.ning is a copy ..f the eirru
lar to whn li allusion was ni l-yesterday.
It is us id that all those whose
i mules are gi.eu as signers deny i;s
aut liorship, but that the author is
. suspected. Here is the circular:
"The republican of Wake county
land of North Carolina met iu the
county ana stale contention, aud
acreed to co-operate with the people's
party. All this was done after a con
ference with a committee of republi
cans from various parts of the state
was called and held in Haleigh, July
30, ISO!. Wake county convention
was held August 2.", and elected dele
gates to the state convention', but not
until we had agreed to co-operate with
the pec p'e's party. Hut t wo of the dele
g:. les s-nt to the state convention
proved traitors to the grand old re
publican party : viz., K. A. Johnson
and K. M. Sorrell. They entered the
state contention aud fought against
co-operation in the interest of C. Jl
Cooke, democratic candidate for con
gress; Johnson tried to nominate T. C.
Mill., an as a streight republican for
congress, but Mr. Milli an being a
good republican would not allow the
reinocrats to use him in the interest
of Cooke.
Now after the republican party had
agreed to co-ope ration, all the men
who fought against co-operation in
counties with co-operation tickets
were either bought by the Democrats
or they worked for them free of
charge. Did the democrats pay you
anything? Did they promise yon
anything, or did you work for that
party free of charge? Where did the
money come from that paid for circu
lars? That paid for'pamphleta ? That
paid your buggy hire, and railroad
fare? The public can ask the light
ning l.e.g nigger democrats whose
names you find ou this bill, or you
can call on any one of the committee
f fifty (")0). We have the names of
about 80 persons who worked against
the grand old republican party in
Wake. They claimed to be republi
cans heretofore, but this time they
worked with aud for the party that
said, "This is a white man's party" ! ! !
So those niggers were tryiug to get
white. Let them go, we do not need
them. They are not to be trusted any
more by the republican party. Who
were they? W e only give the names
of a few of the leaders in this county
aud state at large, viz. E A. Johnson,
1". M. Sorrell, Henry S. Christmas,
the Hon. John II. Williamsom, (tha
man who has sold more negroes than
any speculator iu the state), Johu II.

Deveraux, M. Howes, ,Isaac 11. Smith,
W. A. Day, Eeggins Clements, Turner
Evans, Wiley 1. Hunter, Ed. Bledsoe,
Hill Whitaker and John A. Savage.
We had all these names and others at
our jollification ineetiug at Stronach's
warehouse, Thursday night, Novem
ber 29, 1894, but thinking you might
torget, tllein we give ttiem now, so
that you may lay them away for tin
future. We hate others of lesif im
portance, but you can see them at the
proper time. ........
Whhkeas, we, the republicans of the
county of Wake, and the state of
North Carolina, have for eighteen
years; been attempting to assert our
rights and liberties by the ballot as
citizens. And, whereas, in. each i on
test, our will was unheeded aud crush
ed to the sarth by the democracy of
of the county aud the state, and
Whekeas, we found it necessary to
co-operate wid some other political
organization for the purpose of pre
sorting our rights as men and the
purity of the grand old republican
party, and the liberties of our chil
dren as fathers, and
Whereas, our efforts were opposed
by democrats and others who called
themselves republicans and who aided
the Democrats in their damnable
work." -Therefore be it.
He-solved,.- That we, the republicans
of the county of Wake, of the state of
Noth Carolina, do openly aud plainly
denounce their action as party perfidy
am) dishonor. "Be it further
'Resolved,' that all who acted like
wise are enemis to the republican
party of this county and state.
