by a money tax on property. Taken
as a whole, the crops made in this

averaging over sixty per cent. It
shows the financial and educational
condition of laboring people as very
poor, indeed, and their moral

is but little skilled labor in

To the Democrats of

Greenville,
During the present term of the
Court of Pitt county be
ginning on the 9th inst., I have
been told that reports have been
vigorously circulated that I bad
withdrawn from the for the
nomination for Solicitor of this Dis-
I have been able so far to
trace the report as going from
some persons who were actively
working in the interest of other can-
For what reason such a re-
port could have circulated, I
can't understand, except to induce
my friends to slacken the interest
they feel my nomination for the
office they so warmly and strongly
supported me for four years ago. I
am a candidate the
for the Domination for Solicitor
and I take this method of assuring
my friends that shall give them
public notice in no uncertain way,
when I see it proper to withdraw,
should such a contingency arise,
which does not now appear.
Whenever the interest of the
Democratic party is to be promoted
by my sacrifice I shall be swift
to show my devotion to the party,
and assure my friends who so gal-
stood by me at Wilson that
hot day, when I was defeated by
so small a vote, that I am the same
in Democratic principles, that I an-
on that day of defeat,
should meet with the same fate
again they may rest assured that I
am still true to the party that I be-
will give to the country
only relief and safety they have
any hope of getting, and I hereby
invoke my friends not to be dis-
by such reports that can only
come those, who while
working against me, but
in their zeal, are for
their favorites.
If shall be nominated and
shall take, to perform the
duties or the office fears
favor or affection. If defeated for the
nomination shall use all the power,
that in me lie, to aid and assist the
successful candidate to election,
and give him my heart v support in
administration of the laws of
the State of North Carolina, let him
be whom he may. When the Con-
shall have spoken, I am
sure it will be words of wisdom,
Democrat more
yield to the voice of the Convention
than Yours truly,
A.
We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dr.
King's New Discovery Consumption,
Dr. King's New Life Pills,
Salve and Electric Bitters, and
have never handled remedies that sell as
well, or that have given such universal
satisfaction. We do hesitate to
guarantee them every time, and we
stand ready to refund the purchase price,
if satisfactory results do not follow their
use. These remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

e is no probability that the
Senate bills for admission of
Idaho and Wyoming will be con-
this session. The silver
tariff bills, National
bill will hare to be disposed
before any attention is given to
Statehood bills, but it is possible
that the political considerations may
induce the Republicans to admit
the Slates next session.
What Constitutes False
tense-
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular
Washington, D. C. June
Tariff, silver politics are the
topics of Congressional
at present, and arc likely to
remain the subjects of attention
sometime to come. Some men
started a report that Congress
take a recess from 1st.
to October 1st, but that is extreme
as it would be
cult to keep a here
the autumn season.
The solicitude of the members
concerning their re-election is of
more importance to many of
than the business before Congress;
while those who don't expect to be
re-elected will be altogether too in-
different about results to return be-
fore the next regular session. It is
the general opinion now among
Congressmen, and those best posted
on the subject, that Congress will
not adjourn September 1st.
The Republicans of the House
have determined to take the lead
on the silver question, which the
Senate has been wrestling with, to
no purpose, all this session. They
will pass suspension the
roles what is known as the
which provides for the res
silver certificates m
lawful money or bullion. It is ex-
petted to be somewhat amended to
meet the views the President.
The extreme silver men complain
that a good ninny Republicans arc-
deterred from taking a bold stand
for free coinage, by their desire to
stand well with the White House.
They to feel a sense
of the futility of passing a free
coinage bill, now that it is not
doubted the President would
Interpose his veto. The
authorizes and encourages the
President to recommend measures
to Congress, and it seems that this

a settlement of the long de-
bated question.
Many of the extreme silver men
are still confident that they will be
able to pass a bill embodying their
views, including free coinage in the
Senate, but are doubtful of its pass-
age in the House. They say that
Republicans in both branches of
Congress are more concerned about
retaining pleasant relations with
the administration and the
patronage, than settling a
great economic question.
One of the ultra silver men has
said that they intend to make an
effort in the Senate to have the
made legal tender, and
further amend the pending measure
as to make the bullion aggregate
ounces, instead of that-
many dollar's worth monthly. They
would this by offering a free
coinage bill as a substitute. Should
it pass, they will use their best en-
to have the House follow
their example, take the chances
of the President's veto. the mo-

pass a bill of such tendencies
fore the Senate can come to a vote
on the subject.
As for the tariff the Republicans
cannot agree. The and
Allison divisions are as
as were those of Randall and
Morrison in the Democratic House
of other days. Even the committee
of the Senate that has the
bill examination is
against itself, will the
end substitute a measure totally
different. This substitute bill, it is
believed will be -modeled on the
lines of the Allison bill two years
ago, except that where changes
not increased. It will probably be
passed sometime in August. It is
expected that when the Senate bill
reaches the House the Republicans
will vote This will
send it to a committee of

fought over indefinitely. The more
prominent Senate Democrats don't
expect a tariff bill to be passed, and
believe that the Republicans will
pursue this course in older to
a negative position in the Con-
elections this autumn.
When campaign begins they
can say to their friends who are

We dropped into the Greenville
Count House last Monday morning
and heard his honor Judge

Judge confined his charge to False
Pretense itemized the crimes
which come within that scope. For
the information of our readers we
give here the Judge's definition of
this violation of the criminal law.
There must be a falsehood, which
leads to a deception and which
into a fraudulent
A man may be a dealer in horses
and mules and represents a certain
animal as sound and of good quality
but afterwards proves to be unsound
and bad quality. The dealer is
guilty fraud and is liable to be
prosecuted.
A merchant may be a dealer in
flour and tells the purchaser that the
article is a good grade and sells upon
that representation. If the flour
proves to be of an inferior grade and
not as represented, the merchant is
amenable to the criminal law and
should be indicted by the grand Jury.
The same rule will apply when
the merchant informs his customers
that this calico is of solid colors
and will not fade. If the calico
proves to be different from what rep-
resent the merchant is guilty of
fraud deceit and should be pros
seated,
A pair of shoes is sold upon the
representation that they are good and
durable. Alter examination the hot
toms are found to be composed

The seller is guilty of false pretense
and consequently fraud, and should
be presented.
Dealers in Fertilizers may be
guilty of fraud in representing that
the fertilizer they sell is composed of
certain chemical combinations. If
fertilizers adapted to the growth of
cotton are represented as being
to the growth of tobacco, or if
adapted to the growth of tobacco and
are represented as being adapted to
the growth of cotton, and the reverse
is found to be true, the seller is
guilty of fraud and deceit and
should be prosecuted.
If a or renter gets sup
plies to cultivate his crop and
to the landlord that he will
deliver to so many bales of
cotton, barrels of corn, bushels of
rice and peas, and fails to redeem
promise and make good his contract
he comes within the bounds of fraud
and deceit and is amenable to the
criminal law.
If a laborer goes to the farmer
or merchant and agrees to work and
gets money or any thing upon that
promise and agreement and fails to
comply he is guilty of fraud and
should be prosecuted.
Embezzlement was laid down
by his honor as being one of the com-
violations of the criminal law.
It was defined as being the
of the funds of another to your
own personal ends. If a clerk sells
goods for a merchant and
ates the sales to his own purpose la-
is guilty of embezzlement and most
be punished. If a treasurer of a
church or any charitable institution
misappropriates the funds entrusted
to keeping he is guilty of
The same applies to all
persons in whom confidence has been
reposed. It is the object of the law
to maintain the standard of
between individuals and for
every violation, the law must be en
forced.
False weights and measures, the
Judge said came within the bounds
of the definition of fraud and deceit.
Thirty six inches equals a yard, and
sixteen ounces equals a pound. If
the merchant sold you thirty-five and
a half inches for a yard he was
of fraud and should be presented
by the Grand If there was
not sixteen ounces in the pound
bought, the one who made the rep-
is guilty of fraud and
must be indicted.
The most striking item
to was false To person-

as the son of a distinguished banker,

The man could easily be restored to
the bosom of society if he had

of society and the church are closed
against her, and her own sisters

such cases brought to justice would

Sunday, when a Post reporter greeted
him yesterday. Dr. Mott expressed
himself in favor of a Federal election
law so shaped as to be divorced from
or independent of the powers that be
in State politics, the commissioner or
supervisor of Congressional districts
to be by the President and
to be responsible to the Federal Gov-
only. He should have the
power of selecting his assistant, and
to keep a register of the voters of
each for a day or a week
or about election times, but at all
times, and thus be enabled to check
fraud. Doctor Mott said he thought

district would be returned. If the
Republicans had the right sort of
a leader, substantial encourage-
they might also be able to send
a member to Congress from old

reporter that he hoped to be

Imported Butter.
Very careful calculations show that
during the year ending September
30th, lbs. of butter were
brought to from points out-
side of the State. Nearly twenty
en tons were thus imported into one
city in a year. There must have been
during the year hundreds of tons
bought by our people from Without
the State. There is great need for
home production to supply our own
demands. The Experiment Station
proposes to foster the dairy industry
and aid Ha development, so we will
not need to purchase from abroad.
Of the above amount. lbs. were
used here in the fall and winter
months, lbs. in the spring and
summer months. By the aid of en-
silage it will be possible to feed
in the winter months, and
to the larger need at that
time. The Experiment Station will
commence interesting experiment in
this B. Battle.
