named
We sce aa item in the Charlotte Ob-
gerver that in Davidson county men
are selling « clothes lines for $1 that can
be bought af any hardware store for 8
Seents.
Iv~ astonishing how people appar-
ently! love to be swindled. Notwith-
standing the newspapers give warning
alter weraiog in just such matters as
this, people go right on alloving them-
selves to be taken in by every stranger
that comes along with something to
offer. The above is but one among
hundreds, yea thousands, of like inci-
dents that occur all over the country.
Right here in Pitt county we have
known of people g giving peddlers $39 tor
a clock when one just as good could be
purchased. for one-fourth the money.
We have known them to give $60 for a
range when any stove dealer in Green"
ville could sell them one just as good
or half the money. We have known
them to pay fabulous prices f r sewing
machines when the home dealers could
supply them just as well at a saving of
from 50 to 100 per cent. We have
known them to buy fruit trees and pay
trom two to ten times as much for
them as the very same could be bought
: at trom the home nurseries; in fact
have themselves,
* *
oe
fruit tree agents
bought trees from the nursery here and
: turned right around and sold them at
300 per cent. profit. We have known
housekeepers in Greenville to pay a
peddler $1 cr more for a piece of tin,
ware when any tinner in town could
muke an article just as good for 20
cents.
Other instances could be given, but
these are enough to illustrate the point.
Why people wiil continue to pursue
such a course and allow themselves to
be swindied so often, is more than the
Rerrecron can unierstand. But it
seems that any oily tongued fellow can
go through the towa. and country and
find plenty of people on whom he can
palm off his wares at a big price.
There are plenty of home merchants
and dealers,. good, honest men, who
can supply you with all that is needed
in the house or about the tarm, and it is
wisdom to trade with them instead ot
being taken in by every peddler that
goes your way. You will save money
by letting tie peddlers entirely alune.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
WasHineron, April 30, 1897.
»ooThe democratic members of the
Senate Finance Committee very prop-
érly declined to agree to the proposition
to allow the amended tariff bill to be
reported to the Senate as soon as the
republicans have finished work upon it,
which they say will be the first of next
week. The democratic members of the
committee do not expect to be able to
get the bill changed in committee, nor
dot they desire to unnecessarily delay
ither its report to theSenate or its reach-
ne . ingafinalvote,but they insist upon taking
time enough to go over the bill, which
s bas been so extensively changed that

The belief that Cleveland wants to
la the democratic candidate in 1900 is
and that his New York speech was his
first move in that direction. Speaking
on the subject Representative Richard-
sot, of Tenneseee, said: oAs soon as
campaign was organized in his behalf.
Although his nomination seemed to be
the result of a popular wave in his
tavor the fact is that a sentiment for
him was adroitly stimulated by articles
in the country press and by literavure
sent out by mail, both emanating from a
headquarters in New York. His friends
had plenty of mcney and the same
organization is at nis disposal today.�
Representative Bland, ot Missouri, said:
oYes, Cisveland hopes to be nominated,
and he will be, but not by the demo-
cratic parsy, which will remain true to
the principles declared at Chicago last
year. He will be the candidate of the
handfull of people at the Reform Club
dinner. I shall be very glad to see
the issue directly made, for I do not
believe Cleveland will find a corporalTs
guard io tollow him. There is one
good thing about the dinner. It shows
that there is to be no concession and no
compromise, and~ that the Cleveland
party will not coalesce with the 6,500,~
09) who followed the regular standard
bearer.� Representative Stallings, of
Alabama, said: oI should not wonder
if Cleveland hopes to gather to himself
the republicans, especially in the West,
who are not tavorable to a high tariff.
He will get support trom wherever he
ean and from whatever party that is
willing to help him in his ambitions.
The democracy, however, will go ahead
aod make its fight without him.� Rep-
resentative Carmack, of ~lennessee,
said: o{ have heard the gentlemen

Thankful tor Something to Pay Tax
n.
All of us growl more or lees about
having to pay taxes, and not infrequent-
ly the growling is unnecessary and un"
warranted by the facts. The Greens~
boro Record tells of an effective rebuke
delivered by an old gentleman toa
young man who was raising a rumpus
about his taxes being so high. After
listening to his tirade the old man said:
oYoung man, let me tell you how
you can keep from paying any tax, and
at the same time you will be fulfilling a
Bible injunction.�
_ oAll right,� said the fellow, ogo ahead
with it.�
oSell what you have and give it to
the poor and then you wonTt have any-
thing to pay tax on except your fool
head, and that is not worth it. Jam
thankful I have something to pay tax
on myself.�
Since that time that young man has
paid his taxes without grumbling,though
it has some times been hard work for
him to raise the money.
The rebuke was a just one. There are
burdensome taxes and unnecessary
taxes, but most of us ought to be
thankful that ,we have something to pay
taxes on."Statesville Landmark

because they met at the hotel of tiat

to influence a vote. I have no doubt
that Cleveland or
scheming to have him nominated in
1900, but they will certainly not be

will never be in the ranks of our par-y

the Cleveland administration given a
hint by the late Secretary Gresham
that his resignation as Hawaiian minis-
ter to the United Siates would be
agreeable and who was wise enough to
accept tae hint and go home, has been in
Washington for several weeks. He is
now a special annexation Commissioner
of the Hawaiian government. He
thought the annexation business was all
fixec, but the fight that is being made
to have a clause inserted iu the new
tariff bill abrogating the treaty with
Hawaii, under which sugar comes into
the United States free of duty, has
frightened him. Next to annexation
