Notwithstanding all this, everybody at all con

worse, though a dozen of these outrageous
stories are daily found out by the people, they
reterate the fearful falsehoods the next day.
They are now attempting a fraud, lby issuing
a bogus Republican ticket, not upon their own
immediate followers, whom they have been
able by the most unadulterated faisehoods to
keep in training up to this time, but upon
honest Republicans who spurn with scorn all
attempts to implicate them in the disgraceful

We would suggest to our friends, and the
public in general, to pay visit to the large
and extensive Ready made Clothing House of
Ward Il Phillips, in this town. 4 few days
ago we dropped in, and were really surprised
to see the large amount OF goods displayed,
and We thought we were certainly in q city
store. 1t really done our eyes good to see so
many goods, and when we inquired of the pro
prietors the prices OF some of the fine suits
that were displayed, we were really surprised
to ses how low they were. 1t has been the
fault heretofore in ready-mAde clothing, that
they were inditferently made; but in looking
over ,keir large stock We found them to be put
up, in style and make, equal to tie custom
make-ln fact every coat is branded with
custom trade mark We also thought that
there was no use of parties in want of clothing
to go away from home to purchase them, when
we had such fine clothing house in our midst
Their stock is certainly large and complete. In
it will be found almost every style and quality
OF goods, from the lower grades of satinettS to
the finest quality of cassimere-and a: prices
that will suit almost every person. They also
keep full line OF Gents Furnishing Goods
consisting OF large, superb and cheap stock
of Underwear, fine White and Cashmere
Shirts, Fancy Bows, of Latest STYLES, Suspend
erS, Collars, and almost everything gentleman
requires for his wardrobe They also have a
Lice line of Hats, Trunks and Valises.
We would earnestly recommend to our
friends aud others, who intend purchasing
goods this faIltO pay this house (the largest
and most extensive in Snlyrns) a visit, and we
feel confident that they will find what we have
written to be true. "A word To the wise is
sufficient"

ANOTHER SwINDLE.-We are informed by
prominent gentlemen Of Dover that the Sauls
burys are trying to get into circulation pre-
tended Republican ticket with the view of
making people believe that it is ticket secret
"a nominated by the Republicans to be voted
at the election. Among the names on the
ticket, it is reported, is that of Jas. R. Glenn
ents Of this town. This is another swindle of
the Salisbury Ring, on par with former eff
forts. No county ticket has been or will be
nominated by the Republicans, under any cir
cumstances, secretly or openly and this uu-
authorized use of prominent names on a bogus
ticket is piece Of efrontery that only this cor
rupt Ring could be guilty of. Look out for
the swindle.
Smyrna times., 1870-11-02

Is IT TRUE that the Salisbury Ring have
been conniving with leading colored men to
secure the negro vote? Such report has been
freely circulated and is openly charged by
correspondent from Dover. They act on the
principle that desperate cases require desperate
remedies, and are doubtless equal to any emer
gency. Some Of their pets would be good in
an emergency of this kind. 1t is known that
the chairman Of the Salisbury club in this
town proposed to Governor Cannon, whilst on
visit here on one occasion, to raise a negro
regiment, ard asked fer commission as colo
mel of the same. His strong Republican dec
laratious at the Provost Marshals headquar-
ters on one occasion might also give him some
show above others. His Rcpublicanism seems
to be latent, and is brought cut only by extra
ordinary occasions Those who sent colored
representatives to the army might also put in
strong plea, as could those who were going

would avail
