named D, B. Hill, of New York, for

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
epee tonne,
Senator White of California, Perma-
nent Chairman,
The bulletins received from the Nat-
ional convention to-day have been very
meager,
Curcaco, Ul. July 8, 189¢."Only
about one-third of the delegates were
present when the convention assembled
at 10:30, but they came in rapidly.
Senator White, of California, was
made permanent chairman of the con-
| vention.
Soon after the convention was called
to oder the committee on credentials
was called to. meet in committee room
immediately.
The Bland club entered anil loud
cheering.
Gov. Hogg, of Texas, was requested
to address the convention and took the
platform amid chee:s and the band
played oDixie.�
Boise was called on for an address,
the call being attended b loud cheers
and confusion, but he was not preeent.
Hill was next called for, the confus-
~ion increasing, but he was not in the
hall.
Altgeld was called for but did not
_ | vespond at first. Loud cries were re
# | peated for him, and as he arose and
|| proceeded to the platform he was given
agreat reception. In the course of
his specch Atgeld said that nearly every-
thing was under mortgage, from our
farms to the sewing machines of the
seamstress, and all paying interest on
English money, and the action of this
convention was expected to change
such a condition of affairs. He pointed
out that the gold standard had lowered
prices of tarm products while the farm
er has been compelled to pay more for
wast he had to buy. (Loud applause. )
Williams said the convention was in
no Wise sectional, that the New Eng-
land representatives had as much at
stake us those from the West and
South, and he spoke tor five millions
spindles now silent. He pleaded for
harmony and doing away with section�
alism.
There were calls for ~Lillman but he
did not respond and the convention
adjourned till 5 o'clock, at which time
the eommittee on platturm are expected
to report.

4th, 1896, indicate generally a very fa-
vorable week. The temperature ,was
slightly above the normal, they pvecipi-

for several preceding weeks.

exceptionally favorable outlook for that
crop.

ports of yellowing and shedding squares
come from very few sections.
EASTERN DISTRICT.
The past week has been generally
very favorable for the grov:th of all,
crops aad especially for farm work.
The weather was comparatively dry
and warm, with abundant sunshine,
and sufficient rain in most sections for
all requiremeuts. Too much rain oc-
curred only in portions of Gates coun
ty, Beaufort, Pasquotank, Northamp-
ton, Pamlico and Pitt. Some slight
local damage was caused by severe
thunder-storms. Crops of all kinds are
in excellent condition, except in the
northern tier ot counties, where there
was too much rain. Crops are coming
out much better than anticipated in the
hail districts. Corn is exceptionally
fine, about all worked for last time
Some complaints of tasselling low on
poor lands. Cotton is doing nicely,
good stand and now tolerable clean. A
fine crop, considerably in advance o
season, blooming geuverally and full of
young bolls. Forming too much weed

laid by soon. Pea-nuts, potatoes, peas,
etc., are doing well. Grapes fine,
Watermelons coming into market.
CENTRAL DISTRICT.
With rather more diversified condi-
tions in this district than in others, the
past week was generally fine, compara.
tively dry and warm, good for farm
work and growing crops, though the
heat was slightly injurious where there
had been too much rain previously.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT
- THE WORLD'S PETITION.
ccna
BY HELEN SEANER.
The plan of the WorldTs Petition
was thought out by Miss Frances E.
Willard. The idea of it is to get as
many singers as possible and
it to the different governments of the
world to induce them to abolish the
liquor traffic and the opium trade.
Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt, our first
round-the-world missionary, was also
the first one to circulate the Petition.
presen
She started from her home in 1883,
and was absent nine years. In that
time she traveled to nearly every
government of the world. Mrs. R. C.
Shuman wasthe one who made the
Petition and she started it in 1890.
It took about eight hours of her time
every day for twc years. It was made
of white cloth and bound with red rib-
bon on one side and blue on the other,
making the three colors of our national
flag. The cloth is 2,000 yards long
and the ribbon isover 4,000 yards long
without counting what it took to make
three rolls from England. The ribpon
Mrs. Shuman sewed on all by hane.
The names are pasted to the cloth three
columns across. ~Lhere are 1,000,121
actual signatures,6,000,000 attestations
and 1,000,000 men have indorsed it.
There are 150,000,000 in all who have
indorsed it. The Salvation Army is
recorded 50,000 strong and the United
Society of Christian Endeavor have
increased the list by 2,000,000. Over
a thousand churches signed and there
are eighty thousand in rising votes.
The names of dignitaries, men in
authority and such like are in one roll.
Neal DowTs name heads the list, and
Just below itis the name of Joseph
Cook.
In one of the letters Mrs. Shuman
received was a sentiment from a Texas
woman, which I will quote: oWhat
is done 1n this line musT be done by
woman"man is a failour"commence
at the cradel. Mrs. Shuman says
that when sbe was making the Petition
she felt as though she was weaving to-
gether tae groans of the dying and the
tears of the saints, Miss Wlllard had
an interview with President Cleveland
one day, and' Mrs. Hoffman and some
other ladies, including he president of
the Washington W. C, T..U., went
with her. Miss Willard told the Pres-
ident about the Petition, after which
Mrs. Hoffman read the document.
Cleveland made a speech and did not
say anything to discourage the women.
This petitioning 1s only a part of the
work, The temperance work is going
right on fast and I think we will soon
have Prohibition.
The L. T. L. children are growing
up and the liquor men will get fewer
and fewer oas the days are going by.�

_| tion :

hostility to the manufacture, sale, im-
portation and transportation of alcohol-

We regard the policy of issuing gov-

rying on the liquor traffic asa sin
against God and a dishonor to our peo-
ple We turthermore announce it as
our conviction that we should by all le-
gitimate means oppose the liquor traffic
in municipal, county, State and nation.
oFurthermore we announce it as. the
sense of this body that no peson should

*/ manufacture.or sale of alcoholic liquors,
either at wholesale or retail, who in-
vests his money in the maufacture or
sale of alcoholic liquors, or who rents

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
erent
What the Public Wants,
BY NATHTL C. FOWLER, JR., DOCTOR
OF PUBLICITY.
aR
(Copyright, 1896, by NathT1 C. Fowler,
Jv., Tribune Building, New York.)
Advertise the goods you sell, not the
people who sell them.
If you are for sale, advertise you;-
self.
Your reputation is apart of your
stock in trade, and it pays to allow ad-
veruising to assist in building up mer-
cantile character, but the public cares
more about what you have for sale,
than they do abcut any other condi.
tion of your business.
DonTt print your name in the largest
type, and more conspicuously than the
announcement of your goods.
DonTt have your name appear at the
top and bottom of the advertisement.
Once is enough. Better have it at the
bottom than at the tup.
The top should be devoted to large
type announcement of the yvoods you
have for sale, or of expressions which
will gain attention.
A great many merchants believe in
having the firm name appear in a sort
of trade mark type, something distinct
and Cifferent from other type used, and
this plan is to be recommended provid-
ed too much space is not given too it.
People will tind you, if you properly
announce something the people want,
if your name is at the bottom in the
smallest rendable type.
DonTt tell too much about your
goods ; leave something fer the imagi-
nation.
Tell enough to command attention,
and to excite curiosity and interest,
that the reader will call at your store to
further inspect the goods.
Advertising doesnTt sell goods.
Advertising makes it easier for you
to sell goods.
It is the business of advertising to
bring people to the store.
It is your business, with the assistance
of your salesman, to consummate the
trade.
The more people visiting your store,
the more goods you will sell.
The more advertising you do, the
more people you will have to do business
with.
The best salesman canTt sell anything
unless he has some one to sell it to.
The best advertising is woathlesss
unless there 18 some one to show the
goods when the customer calls.
In the combination of good advertis-
jing and good salesman, is goodbusi-
1 ness.
