shipping so much stock here. All
the stock used in this section ought
to be raised here. It costs just as

We have not seen a report from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics since its
establishment which was of any
practical value. Some of the
ions of correspondents were very
interesting, but the value of an
ion depends upon the man who de-
livers it, and even in his case the
value varies with the condition of his
liver. No one thinks of referring to
one of these reports for any statistics
which may be wanted, and, failing
to furnish full and accurate
tics, the bureau is a misnomer. The
fact is that it was established when
the Knights of Labor were terrorize

responsive to an unreasoning clamor.

A great deal is being said of late
about the letters to
Governor Hill. There are con-
reports as to the matter.
Governor Hill seems to have re-
the matter as and
but the Democratic
party does not so look upon it.
It is thought by many throughout
the country that Mr. Hill traded
off Mr. Cleveland in 1888. We
do not believe it is so, but we
think Mr. Watterson's suggestion
to him was the best way for him
to shove aside forever such
This was done before Mr.
Cleveland's letter in opposition to
free coinage, and while he was tho
most prominent figure in the Dem-
for the Presidency.
His letter while it shows him to be
a man of courage, has doubtless
weakened him, and think will
throw him out of the race for 1892.
This leaves it by no means
for Governor Hill. There are
plenty of available men in the
party yet, whose views are sound
on all question, and we hope the
Democratic party will commit it-
self to no pet idol, but take the
strongest man in the party. This
and unity will insure success.
For two weeks past the

matters and private bills that might,

There is too much legislating,

The death of Hon. A. H. H.
Stewart of Virginia perhaps took
away the oldest Cabinet officer in
the country. He was years old.
He was a member of Mr. Filmore's
Cabinet as Secretary of the lute
He was a Whig before the
war, and opposed the secession
of his State. He has been in ac-
public life but very little since
the He was of the
University of Virginia a few years.
He was elected to Congress after
the war but like all Southern
Representatives he was not allow-
ed to take his seat.
It is said that Secretary Win-
estate was not worth more
than one thousand dollars outside
of his five thousand dollars
policy. It would seem from
this that if honesty in politics
vents a man from becoming rich
he was an honest man. We have
never heard anything to tho con-
so we judge he was an hon-
est politician.

prices given you anywhere else by any first-class

Our invitation to all people is LEARN OF US, KNOW

your ears every week, we again ask yon to come and examine the
following lines of General Merchandise
Staple and Fancy Dry Goods. I
The following are the brands of Guano which
-----we handle
Special Bright To-
Fertilizers.
This is the richest, highest grade Fertilizer offered for sale in
the State. It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright To
and there is no guano sold in the State which stands so
well. We can only refer to the parties in this vicinity who used
it last year. They have all notified us that they will use it again
this year. Call to see us and get the analysis and book of
Capital Tobacco Fertilizer.
This is a brand of Fertilizer which though new to this vicinity,
established reputation in several other States as being an-
led as a fertilizer the production of fine Bright Tobacco.
It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright Tobacco and as
we have sold it several years before we unhesitatingly recommend
it as being as good as the best.
National Fertilizer.
. This is a very high grade guano, which has been very ex-
in this State on both Tobacco and Cotton. The best
thing we can say for it is that we have sold it for years and have
never seen any one who was not pleased with it.
Guano.
Is well known all through Eastern Carolina as one of the best
producing fertilizers for all crops ever offered for sale. It is a
very rich high grade guano, made out of the best material, and has
never failed to give entire satisfaction. The offer
premiums, aggregating several hundred dollars, for the most
cotton raised on a single acre of land with Guano. Call
and get their book of testimonials with directions as to how to
compete for these premiums.
Beef, Blood and Bone.
Is a brand which has never been offered for sale here before.
But we know it to be a first-class standard fertilizer, as we have
sold it before. It is made by a house which stands at the
head of the list for making honest, high grade fertilizers. As its
name signifies it is composed mainly of animal matter, flesh,
and bone, scraps which they obtain from the large slaughter
houses of the West. We have a large supply of
Pure German
AND HIGH GRADE
Acid Phosphate,
Which we will sell very low. We think we can make it to your
interest to see us buying any of your fertilizers. As we
control the sale of these goods for all this section, and buy in
very large quantities, we are prepared to make very close figures
to other and we want a good representative in each
locality to whom we will sell at prices.
To Alliances or Clubs taking tones or more we will
make special prices.
In conclusion we beg to submit the following proposition
For the best five pounds of bright tobacco made by any of our
customers from the use of any of the brands of guano sold by us
we will pay a cash premium of
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.
For the second best five pounds we will pay a cash premium of
Fifteen Dollars.
For the third best five pounds we pay a cash premium of
Ten Dollars.
This offer is open to all of our customers using any of the guanos
sold by us, whether they buy direct from us or through some of
our sub-agents or dealers. plan of awarding the premiums
will be announced hereafter in this paper.

Everybody that knows anything
about Greenville knows that this
town is greatly in need of a class
hotel, but everybody docs not know
with what comparative one
might be secured. Greenville is
very much her own light not to
have a hotel in keeping with tho
needs of the town, lilted with all
modern equipments. There are three
largo buildings here, of which
might be converted into a hotel with-
out considerable cost. On Five
Points A. White has a nice
block of double story brick stores
that were erected a few years since,
and here would be a splendid

be run up one story higher and the
two upper floors converted into suit-

The same can be said of Col.
