It is very late in the day to come

present law was passed. f ;
- The white republicans who are af
fected by the law are ' by no means
- satisnea tnat mixea ; scnoois are a
boon, and it may be said .that the
mixed school system in . Ohio is a
- political weapon that seems to cut
' both ; ways. . , ; For the intelligent
negroes are by no means satisfied.
The first result of the law has been
to throw a; large number of worthy
colored teachers out of employment.
The neero children no longer attend
. the negro schools, but flock to the
white schools. Whereujion the white
pupils retire, and the result is that
the Ohio public school system is a
farce. W'--. ' : - -I
The rich people withdraw their
children and make other provision
for their education, while 5 the poor
white people and the negroes find
themselves in a dilemma. ; Measured
by Foraker's mouth,' the 1 republican
party of Ohio is a tremendous affair ;
measured by the effect . of its law
nrovidine for mixed scnoois it is
" " sucwrsfui xn its efforts to drive cap
able negro teachers out of the schools,
r. and s also successful in its efforts to
" cripple 11 the' public school system.

innocently says: "We want to pre-
' vent such sharp competition as there

And the method the Trust" adopts
to prevent such competition is to ruin
any enterprising man who will not
submit to their dictation. The TTorW
argues that one : way of doing this is
to place the price temporarily so low
that the new manufacturer is soon
frozen out unless he is able and will
ing to risk a large amount of money
in the struggle. ; Another not alto-'
gether unheard-of method iscto blovf1

there ought to be a legal punishment

business facilities of Charlotte as far
better, and with all its railroads and
shipping facilities, it ought to lead
as a market for all this country. Ev
idence comes to as daily, that cotton
is. bringing more money at points
around us than it is here. One gen
tleman assured ' us yesterday that
over 100 bales was going from his lo
cality to Concord this week, cotton
which belonged to the trade of Char
lotte. Another that a large part of
the cotton east of us was turning to
Monroe. . Well we admire the pluck
of these Monroe and Concord buyers,
and we doubly admire the pluck of
the man who takes - his cotton to
where it will bring the most money.
Its his due and his right and his duty.
We are not versed in even the value
of .cotton nor in what it ought to
' . -'. -;.iv: -
bring, but we are interested to the
extent ot wnat we nave m tbe suc
cess of all the interests of Charlotte,
and regret exceedingly to know that
for want of buyers to pay the price
paid at other points, cotton turns
away from us. . Every bale
of cotton that is brought here
adds - that much , to the business
interests of Charlotte, and every bale
we miss takes that much away from
its business men. Take the cotton
we had ' about as well
close our doors. f
We take this method of calling the
attention of cotton dealers to the fact
that the interests of Charlotte de
pends upon their ability to pay the
prices paid for-cotton all around us.

A Lincoln (Neb.) special says: A
workingman named Smith was hor
ribly mutilated here in a remarkable
manner. On 6 street, at- the comer
of Ninth, hamrinz from a teleerraDh
pole and lying along the ground tor
a distance, was a- broken telephone
wire wnicn - naa in some ; manner be
come crossed, or in connection' with
one of the electric light wires, i As
Smith was passing along the street
he saw the wire burning, and attract
ed by "thelstrangft appearance,' and
not realizing what is was, evidently
took hold of it to ascertain what it
meant. The shock he received was
terrific and bis shrieks brought hun
dreds to the street. He could not
loosen his hold on the wire, and it
burned his hand to the bone. -;. In his
writhings and contortions the charg
ed wire came into oontact with his
head, burning out one of his eyes nd

before getting home.; ' Why t Be
cause, - -- -- -
. 1. Buying in Northern Houses
where the Goods kept are not selected
(like mine) to suit this section only,
the chances are that the new be
ginner will buy the most unsuitable
stock for his section Whence has his
shelves full, yet none to Buifc his cus
tomers. Fatal mistake No. 1. '
2. In tbe excitement and rush of
Northern Market he buys twice, per
haps thrice, as much as he can and
ougdt to. Fatal mistake No. 2. .
3. The injudicious1 and dispropor
tionate quantities bought too much
of some things and not enough of
others' (generally the most need
ful) the new beginner finds out, too
ate that while he has more Goods
tuan he ought to have, yet must " or
der more Goods to help sell off the
badly bought ones," thus being load;
ed too heavily at tbe start -you can
imagipe the rest. This much and
moie could be said, but a word to
the wise is sufficient, - .v
