! Read, Ponder and Reflect.


Read, ponder and reflect. The question
is often asked: "Why do so many persons,
nowadays, wear glasses ?" The answet is
easily given. In the first place, within the
last twenty-five years great deal has been
learned about the value of glasses, and the
range of their application and usefulness
has been enormously extended. As con-
sequence of this, statistics show that the
number of persons losing their siyht has
greatly diminished. Secondly, the eyes
need more he'll now, because the Amount of
work they are required to do now Is much
greater than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine and
many other inventions of its class save the
labor of the hands only to add to that requi-
red of the eyes. New employIhents, new
amusements and new fashions are continu-
ally being introduced to increase the exac-
lions laid upon these sensitive and delicate
organs. The steady decrease of illiteracy,
together with the general circulation of the
daily newspapers, the increasing use of arti-
iicial illumination, extending the hours o.
eye work, all combine to overtax the eve
| and render it an organ most jliable TO give
way under the adverse and depressing con
! ditions encountered in the struggle for exist
ence, SO that its aid and protection are mat
tiers of constantly increasing Importance.

Abont three o'clock Monday evening a Sc
we're wind, rain and hail storm passed over
the city. The wind did considerable dam
age as it unroofed w. T. Gray & Co.'S
smoking tobacco factory and uprooted about
Winston. A large oak was blown across
tenement house, occupied by colored people
in East Winston, but fortunately none of
the family were at home. The storm seemed
! earn that farther east its severity still
greater. 1t is feared that considerable dam
age has been done to growing crops along
the line it l,assed. This was the heaviest
storm that has passed over this section for
years and there is none of us but who will
wish for many years to elapse before a SIM
liar storm visits us again.

Talk TO THE WORKING
MEN OF OUR COUNTRY:

KIND READER In these
days of trusts and combinations"
among capitalists, manufacturers
and merchants, to wiring from the
workingmen of our land unjust and
extortionate profits on their produc-
tions, it is high time you were
looking around for some means of
protection and we hail with pleas
ure the coming of labor clubs, far
mers Alliances, &C., and the deter
mination Of SO many to throw off
the yoke Of bondage, known as the
credit system.
| want to congratulate the hun
dreds of farmers throughout the
Piedmont section of our good old
State, who have seen the dangers
lurking in the credit system, and
gone to work TO rid themselves and
neighbors of the abomination. This
accused system has long had a
strong hold on our people, and it
may seem hard to break its grip;
but if you will persevere you will
not fail to win, and then you will
be happy, prosperous and free
man-free to buy your goods where
you please and of whom you please.
And when you come across some
time merchant who is all bound
up with these combination manu-
facturers to charge you about Is
per cent above an honest profit,
you can assert your independence
and give them the go by.
We don't believe in this way Of
] giving one man IN town control
] of an article which enables him to
name his own price, and charge
unjust profits. We believe in com

values, and is nothing but Justice
to trading public. We believe
that when 4 business hasn't merit

propped up by combinations it is a
fraud ard not worthy the patron.
