In my last letter I spoke of the evil of stuffing imported cigar boxes as assuming such appalling dimensions in the trade of this city. While I have no desire to cast reflections upon any of the brethren the cigar trade here, I cannot refrain from what might be termed considerable preaching on this subject. Last week man Bros., of Cincinnati, were charged with dumping by the Government officials. From the reports at hand, the information was given by a discharged I also know of a number of instances in this city where otherwise honor- able merchants have, owing to their indulgence in box stuffing methods, placed themselves at the mercy of their clerks, and did not dare to discharge them- of some clear Havana cigar go about the country openly boasting to dealers that they make perfect imitations of the various popular shapes of goods, and explain to the uninitiated dealers, how easy it is to transfer their goods into ported boxes. It is time that some members of this great cigar and tobacco trade take a firm stand against these practices, which gradually drag down the moral tone of our calling. pleasant as it may be to plate the fact, yet the time is fast approaching when patience will be exhausted, and the legitimate retailer of imported cigars will be forced by the laws of to denounce, yes, even ex- pose, the criminal practices of many of his competitors. The straightforward of clear Havana cigars, which are sold on their merits, should take this matter up in their own of Tobacco.

It is good for the country that the present Congress does not ex until the 4th of March next, and that its successor does not go in regular session until of next year.

When the Fifty fourth Congress assembles the business of the country will have so far ed that the country will not to return to the old tariff, though there is no doubt but what the new hands at the bellows will try to restore it in some form or other. The repeal of new tariff, how- aver, cannot be accomplished ex by the concurrent action of both branches of Congress and the President, and it will be cult to repeal it while Mr- Cleve- land is in the White House.

THANKSGIVING In conformity to a beautiful and time honored Christian tom our State constitution, in recognition of the Great Ruler of the Universe, has made it the duty of every good to fittingly observe one day in the year as the harvest time of our prayers and thanksgiving. THE CHOP. It is predicated that standing the low of cotton . and tho immense crop this year, i there will be no reduction of I acreage in Texas next year, the reason assigned being that in that State the use of commercial fertilizers is not necessary, and therefore cotton may be grown We have been a year the disasters and troubles which have afflicted other states and nations and have been es blessed in the full en of life liberty and the manifold blessings which pro therefrom. Therefore, I, Elias Carr, gov of the State of North Car- do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, the 20th lay of November, 1894, as a day of public thanksgiving and praise. And I earnestly request the of the State to suitably ob- serve this day at their usual of worship; to remember in This in possibly be so Texas and some of the Mississippi delta, but there is no other section of the cotton belt where it can be grown and sold for five cents a pound with- out ruining tho man who grows it, if he grows much. time ago a committee appointed by the U- S- Senate to investigate and report the depression the cotton-growing industry after long and laborious investigation repented that where fertilizers have to be used cotton can be produced for less than five or six cents a pound, at the lowest GOO IN OUR POLITICS. When God said there there was light, his will was less apparent and j potent than He ; there be a Democratic party in American there I arose a Democratic party God's hand is as apparent in our history and safety, as it is in the rock based that he founded commended to St. Peter. His hand is apparent in the work of our Revolutionary fathers and his hand is equally apparent in the formation of par- ties in the early history of the government. The Democratic party is not coeval with the government. Under the administration of Washington and John Adams the Federal party was the sole power in the government- It was a proud, centralizing, aristocratic party that distrusted the people. Had the Federal party remained undisturbed in the possession of power, the Government, would not have lasted a hundred years. It would probably have been overturned by bloody Revolution. But God's edict created the Dem- party and since its it has been upheld by his Almighty arm and has survived through the mightiest known to history. It has been tried by fire and been by adversities, and the chastisements of the Almighty, it has always become stronger ; and just as sure as God rules it will survive its present trials restored to power in God's good time, wiser for tho lessons of d 8- aster and stronger by the power of Him who created it. We think it will be a reunited household in 1806 and be re- stored to power, wiser, truer, more harmonious, more more fraternal and more tolerable than ever before. But that it will be reinstated in time, is just as sure as that the great and good God rules in the affairs of City mist-Falcon. Highest of all in Leavening U. S.

Price Co., of New York, make the very reasonable suggestion that if the crop of cot- ton next year shall equal that of the current season, the price will go down to three cents. This is something for planters to think about before they fix their acreage for next year. It is really a very serious matter. stocking market when if they thought for a moment they must see that every surplus bale raised contributes that much to keeping down prices, and making their, labor profitless. Under conditions there is but owe of the cotton for the cotton planter, and that is such a reduction of acreage as will bring the crop somewhere within the demand of consumers. As far as the planters are concerned they had better have too little than too much- The there is the higher the price, the more there is the lower the price Wilmington Star- Blasts From Ram's Horn.

There is no doubt at that the continuance of the price of cotton would bankrupt the Gulf States and very seriously the trade balances of the country. They are entirely right, however, who say that it is impossible for such prices to continue. Cotton is below the cost of pro and there is no hope of reducing least not in the immediate future. The cost of producing wheat has been greatly lowered by proved machinery, but corn pro- has boon much less affect- ed and cotton least of all.

It is now no theory but a that confronts It must be met without a great reaction in the cotton market, there is no evasion. The planter must change bis crops, that is those who will be able to farm at all. The all absorbing question is what crop to plant. We believe the most of our people can successfully raise tobacco as a chief crop. Plant only upon land that has a light soil with a stiff subsoil, be careful in topping and curing. Take care of it nicely, there is no danger of hitting the market with grades of fine tobacco. So be careful and raise it fine and we feel confident that in the end you will be pleased with your change in crops- Found Dead. A colored man was found dead at Sunday after- noon.

Saturday some parties went to the home of a man named H. Strum, about seven miles from Greenville, for the purpose of making an assault on him. His wife heard some voices talk- in low tones near the house and opened the door to see what it soon as the door opened three men rushed in and started to attack Strum, but the latter fired his pistol at them and they fled- While they were in the house two of them were zed as Redding Norris, father in law, Jesse Baker- Later some parties were again heard at a window trying to get in when Strum tired at the window and they again fled. During the day Sunday while Strum was go- along the road another attack was made on him. Strum plied to J. W. Smith Esq., for warrants for Redding Nor Jesse Baker and W. H.

The prejudice against Roman Catholics seems to be subsiding in this State, for at the election last week a Roman Catholic was elected Judge of the Fourth district. Yes, Mr. W- Robinson, of Goldsboro, who is an Irish Roman Catholic, was elected a Judge of the Court in place of Judge W- R. Allen, who is a Methodist. So far as we can now recall, this is the first instance of the people of North Carolina electing a man Catholic to any State office, and therefore it may be as a new departure or as one of the inaugurated by the Populists. We refer to not in a spirit of criticism or censure, but because it so no- table an event that it deserves special mention. We are pleased to state that Mr- Robinson is said to be a courteous gentleman and able lawyer, and will make an impartial Judge, but if he had been by the Democrats the fact of his being a Roman Catholic would have lost him many votes. It is to be noted that Mr- Robinson did not fall behind his ticket but received as many votes as the other Judicial candidates on the fusion Thousands of Protestants voted for him who had vowed that they would never vote for a Roman Catholic for any office, and this shows how completely they lowed politics to control their re- opinions. they pro- fessing to be voting no longer for party but for men Chatham Record.
