now conceded, will be controlled by
the Democrats. This will cause the
election of !a successor to United

Gov. Leon Abbett is prommentlv

unanimous choice of the caucus. Be

KOOI FOR TUOl'CfHTi
, The last - issue of . the Pograssive
Farmer, ot Win3toil. comments upon
a paragraph taken from the Chron
icle in retard to the cotton wajron?
6een on our slro-its with a buck1
et of butter, a b.-aket of eggsv a Ijuah
el of walnuts, a bog of dried fruit, a
package of Basra fras roots, a coop ot
chickens, a couple of shoats. We
stated that cotton Was too low and
farmers have to'reolize money from
what they can rake and scrape to
gether. -The Farmer thinks "this is
pretty rough on the cotton planter,"
and adds that "perhaps in the long
"run it may increase to his benefit
"by teaching him that he mast not I
"place his sole dependence on cotton,
''that he must diversify his crops and
"have something else to market than
"c tton. The Southern farmer in
"the cotton belt must, of necessity,"
"give bisattention to other crops as
"well as cotton." j
In the last sentence of the above
quotation the Farmer strikes the
key-note to the secret of successful
farming in this section, and we may
say throughout the State. With the
present low price of cotton, small
farmers cannot afford to work year

Sixty-five of the eighty-eight

Wade Hampton, in his South Caro-!

more colored men holding office in
Washington at this moment than

to do it, and he was ' kind enough to

give them appointments."

enough to raise this crop, but it should
not be made paramount to all others.
Unless a change is made farmers,
with limited means, will find their
lands depreciating and they them
selves becoming poorer and poorer as
cycles roll round. We have many
examples in Mecklenburg county of
planters who have turned their atten
tion to other crops and the raising of

leading farmers of the State. A di

A PATHETIC fiTOBT.
A man named Donovan took a most
perilous leap from the suspension
bridge to the Niagara river 200 feet
below. People will call him a crank
and a fool. Ho had an irresistable
desire to make himself famous at no
matter what risk. But there is some
thing pathetic in his story and it e
cites our sympathy after all. lie was
a poor man, heavily in dtrbt. and
wanted, as he said, to get even with
the world. After Iteing rescued,as he
lay in bed in pain, and severely in
jured internally, lit said he was w.l -in
to sell his photographs, lecture
or do anything, so he could make
money enough to pay off his debt
and look his fellow-man straight in
the face. To accomplish this he made
a leap no other man ever did and
lived. He may have been a crank,
but no one can call him a coward.

AS IMPORTANT CASE.
A curious and at the same time a
very important election case has
-been brought to light in New Hamp
shire, and one that may change the
entire political complexion of that
State. In obr press dispatches from
Manchester we find that the mis
spelling of the name of a selectman
in the election warrant,"" in warrant
5, has disclosed the fact that the
election warrant wa? illegal, in that
the forms of law were not followed
in the posting of it. This is suffi
cient to invalidate the election. It
established, - it would result in the
election of Mr. Sawyer, Republican,
to the Governorship by the people.
In ;the election of Congressman
Hynes in the placeof his Democratic
opponent, McKinney, and in the re
versal of the election of the Demo
cratic mayor of the city,- it would
also invalidate the election of several
Democratic representatives to the
iState Legislature, and would proba
.bly change the result in the election
'of the State Senator, Councillor, and
the county officers. That the ver
dict of illegality could : be sustained
in regard to all of these officers, is
doubtful. '- For the mat tar would
.have, to be tried before seven differ
ent tribunals one for each officer
or set of affairs; but it is believed
that a successful contest could be
made in the cases of most of them.
The greatest doubt is ; the most im
portant case, that of the Congress
man, which would have to be tried
before thej Democratic Congress.
The law requires ; that the warrant
shall be made out, at least, two
weeks before the 'time for the elec
tion. That it shall be signed and
sworn to by the selectman ; that at
least ' two attested copies shall be
posted in conspicuous places In the
Ward the same length of time; be
fore the election takes' place. It ap
pears that the clerk made out the
original warrant and the two copies
posting the latter to , which he had
signed the names of the selectmen.
The original warrant was not actual
ly signed until the morning of the
election. t

Now is the time for every citizen to
be especially on guard against fire.
Cold weather is at hand, fires will be

made about them since last winter?
Is there possibility of vents beine

There are two elements in the mer :
cantile trade which are vital to its
entire and complete success. The
first is in the buying. Of all the
men in the world to sell goods cheap
it is the man or men who .buy them
cheap. -"Underbuy" is the first
step in mastering the business. :
The second element of success is
after gaining the victory in the buy
ing to have the moral courage to sell
cheap, to make his bargains make
his business, to force his ; business to
the front with his valuea,to never
lose the fruit of his victories by too
mueliTrofit; to "undersell." j
Well, we are masters of values at
the other end of the line, nd we
keep, it at this by adhering strictly
to the rule sell them just as cheap
as we can possibly afford on,f he basis
of what we pay, regardless pf their
real value. j -
It is no wonder our trade is tre
mendous.' Our system of business is
si inn) v a rpvebitirtn to one and all.
for they never had the opportunity j

goods for a dollar. Well, the power
of ready dollars works wonders in
its way and lays upon our counters
manv rare bargains in all lines. It
enables us to offer a first class twenty-
five dollar diagonal suit for $13.50.
A splendid line of very fine all wool
Cassimere suits which ! bring $18
everywhere for $11.75. With good
suits from $3.50 up; none bf them
but you can have for 25 to 40 percent
cheaper than you can buy them else
where. Our hne of boys miu and
ctnldrens suits you will - find very
attra tive. If you want an overcoat
don't fail to sVe ou s. The tremen
dous sales we are having in (this de
partment is most conclusive of the
splendid goods and good values we
are giving. j
- Our tremendous trade is one grand
ovation to good goods at low prices.
Tbe one universal atx laimation is "we
never sa anything like it. Well,
of course . you have not and you
never will see anything like it through
the channel of the credit system. A
dollars worth of goods for a dollar
don't come that way. j
We offer this week the exhibit of
the McAden mills at the fair last
week. We bought and j offer this
rare collection of splendid styles in
plaids which certainly rive) a very
creditable showing in favor, of home
industry. .
TO THE LADIES.
Our Millinery Department is full
to overflowing with all the latest and
best the market affords, and I we
make this line our specialty. We
have competent "and efficient Trim
mers. In addition to our (regular
force, we have been fortunate in se
curing the services of ilrsj Willis,
who lias had 12 years experience as
trimmer for a leading bouse in the
very fashionable city of Springfield,
Ohio. We would be very glad in
deed, to have the decision pf each
and every ladv as to whether or not
the splendid line of Felt j Hats we
have just opened at 48-cts.j would
nottiim up in as good style and
shape, as the identical hat from
some other place would at 90 pts. i
We have just received per express,
a line of Ostrich Tips, in all the latest
shades, with Velvets and Ribbons to
match. i
Our Cloak Department isj one of
rare attraction, ' and contains many
special bargains. .We can give you
a beautiful Seal Plush Cloak for
$15.50, which cannot be bought regu
lar, under $25. No ladv, wanting a
fine "Cloak, should fail to see
these. ' . v i .
We are actually selling a $3.50
Derby Hat in the latest styles ; a
first class good hat as you can buy,
for $1.68. It's a great bargain, and
no one, wanting a first class hat,1
should fail to see these. This is one
of our "Racket" stunners, land makes
everybody wonder -how we can afford
to do it.r ; Well, we bought these
Hats verv cheap indeed, and!, we ap
ply to them the law of our business,
add but 'one small, profit and stop
that profit added; falls at $1.68, and
here they are.
Well, the Racket is a hive of indus
try, and it is due our energetic force
to say, that their long and continued
efforts to successfully wait; (on the
throngs from early morning until
late at night, is worthy of commen
tation.' Many times we have not
been able to wait on .; all. And we
take this method of returning our
thanks to the many who have

until we could serve . them. ' !
