skipped this cotton through Mr. B. J. Cobb together with several
other bales of good variety and this bale sold for three of a cent

It U a matter of
people are so easily taken in by
strangers and street peddlers on
the sale of articles that could be ob-
from the home merchant
and regular business man at so
much less price. Instances where
in the purchaser pays dearly for
such experience are frequent. If
you want article and cannot
it carried by your home dealer, it
would at least be good policy to
consult him giving any
kind of price to the peddler. It
will pay to do business with your
home business men whom you

A local exchange, with a chroma
disposition to misrepresent and
kick about something, makes the
bare faced statement that

Such a statement is calculated to
deceive those who know better,
and is also a reflection on our
excellent Board of Com-
missioners. Pitt county is not
only NOT IN DEBT, but we doubt
if any county in the State can shew
a better condition of finances.

the county for the fiscal year end-

shows a

OUR LETTER.
Special of
N. C, Jan.
According to the exact
and language section of
the new Revenue Act, last
day was the limit fixed for the
thousands of merchants North
Carolina to make their purchase
tax returns to the Clerks of
County Boards of Commissioner
Registers of of their
respective counties, in order to
avoid penalty prescribed.
However, as a large percentage
of them have failed to do so, and
as there Is no disposition on the
part of officials to make new
law more stringent burden-
some than is necessary, additional
time will be extended those who
will at once manifest a disposition
to comply with it, and send in
their returns without de-
lay.
AND
Thia course on the part of our
merchants is the beet they can
sue at present. The new law is
burdensome, to say oppressive,
it is true, that it is very
popular is to all. But it
is law, nevertheless, there-
fore must be complied with. When
the next Legislature meets,
year hence, a more satisfactory act
may be seemed.
Up to the of the Leg

But only two years later the
Legislature of 1901 came along,
and not only did away that
very satisfactory act, but went a
bow-shot further than the old
chase tax law, and put into the
Revenue Act the present section
which is so much of
already.
This new law not only levies an
ad tax on all property of
the merchant, but levies a tax

extent of his of tor
