spent in his own section at the small out
lay of fifteen cent per bale on his one
crop of cotton? This five millions spent
in the South in ten years would be worth
twenty-five millions to the South, for
reasons too patent to take space in this
article to demonstrate.
Now we say to every Alliance man,
Wheel man or Union MAJ in the cotton
section of our country-it is your duty
to yourself, to your fellows, to your coun-
try, to fall into line. Use nothing bat cot
ton, and demand, when you come to sell
your cotton, all that has been advised, all
that is just and right and no more, and
those charged with the management and
control of the question of tare and allow
ance will see to it that you get your de-
mands, thus qualified. Shoulder to shout
der, now, for 1889. You will come off
more than conquerous in this conflict,
and prepare yourselves as individuals,
and as an organization to "down other
wicked combines that now af1ict u
whole people for the sake of personal
gain.

Let Her Go Gallagher! There is
Nothing Like it in Raleigh.

A gentleman with his family, consist
ing of one wife, Is children (all boys
and girls and 2 servants came to Raj
eigh yesterday to do their summer ira
ding. They first visited the Fayetteville
street stores, pricing everything from ii
paper of pins to a fine dress and suit
of clothes for the old man and old lady.
Finally they took up in the Big Racket
store, and after pricing everything, the
madam walked square mp to her 30
siah," and said, Let her go Gala
gher," this is the cheapest place [ ever
saw. After going to these high price
stores. it seems like giving goods away
at the Big Racket store. After selling
the couple as much as their 3 teams Of
mules could pull with the 13 children
they went off singing the praises of the
Big Racket store.

ment of the saloons, breweries and distiil-
cries in Kansas under High License law
as means calculated to benefit the socal

TWO COSTLY LETTERS.
How a Boston Woman Posted Some NJ:
Matter for her Husband.

How a Boston Woman Posted Some Mall
Matter for Her Husband.
Mr.. A, State street broker, was leav-
ing town the other day, and his wife drove
with him to the station in hired cab,
writes a Boston correspondent. Just before
taking the train he found in his pocket a
couple of letters he had forgotten to mail,
and handed them to Mrs. A, saying that
they were of importance, and asked her to
post them. The lady took them with her
into the cab, and drove away from the sta
ton. Whether she was absent-minded
from excess of grief at parting with her
husband or from some other cause, is not
evident, but certain 1t is that III fit Of alb
straction, she quietly slipped both the let
tiers into the crack in the door into which
the glass half slides.
When it dawned upon Mrs. A. that she
had posted a couple of important business
letters in the door of cab and that her
husband was already on MS way to New
York so that he could not rewrite them,
it is to be supposed that she mentally
called herself some uncomplmcntary
names, and undoubtedly she was N the
main not without some excuse for so dong.
She was, however, woman Of expedientS,
and she quickly stopped the carriage to di-
rect the driver to go to the nearest shop
where a fish line could be bought. They
were not out of the poorer quarters OF the
city, and the shop at which he drew up was
Of so doubtful, character that the cabman
told Mrs. A. she had better remain out
side while he went in after the line.
As it was, the lady found herself
regarded by the circle of loafers about
with far more interest than was alto
gsther pleasant. The tishline procured, the
cab drove away, while Mrs. A. endeavored
to get loop Of string down beneath the let
tiers. The driver was ordered to go to
convenient and quiet Back Bay street,
where, much to the mystification of the
nurse maids on the sidewalk, the cab moved
slowly up and down while Mrs. A. contln-
ued her tedious and Intellectual angling. She
varied the performance by procuring sticky
fly paper, which she cut into strips and low
cred into the crack. in the delusive hope
that it might attach Itself TO the letters, but,
like the salt water which Violet fondly
hoped would turn into butter if it was
Churned long enough, " it seldom ever did"
Mrs. A. also endeavored to persuade the
driver that he could take the cab to the sta
bic, turn it over and shake the letters out,
but the scheme did not commend itself to
his mind Perhaps the fact that the lady
was now paying for the cab by the hour and
not exhausting his horse by fast driving
may have tended tc reconcile him to the
prolonged suspense which was rapidly
wearing away Mrs. A. g patience.
The conclusion of the matter was that
Mrs. A. had the cab driven to a carriage
makers, where the door was taken from its
hinges and the letters at last shaken from
their place-the cab all the while being paid
for by the hour The bill for six hours use
of the carriage Mrs. A. paid without demur,
but she reached home after her adventure
in a state of WEAKNESS of mind and body
better imagined than described.

Francisco Lainhesta was born in the CITY
of Guatemala on the 4th of October, 1897
Turning his attention to an industrial occu-
patton, as boy he became an able worker
in bronze and marble. subsequently he
engaged in agriculture, and rose to be man
ager on a plantation in the raising and the
manufacture of two of Guatemala's chief
products, sugar and rum. In 1855 he Sc
cured & clerkship in the State Department,
which he held for five years. HIS next
venture in life was that OF a merchant
While thus engaged he studied law, became
a notary public, and in 1850 he was admit
ted 10 the bar. From 1850 to 1871 Senior
Lainfesta practiced his profession very
successfully. When General Barrios be-
came President of the republic, he offered
Lalnfesta the portfolio of the Public
Works, which he accepted, and flied with
ability, being very energetic and enthusias-
tic IN the promotion of all works of internal
Improvement.
In 1854 be proceeded to New York for the
purpose of securing American teachers for
the public schools Of Guatemala, and re-
turned with several efficient instructors,
both male and female, who were employed
as teachers of the English branches in the
schools of the capital city of the republic
Two years afterwards he was Minister of
Public Works for about eight months, and
in 1888 he the third time accepted the
same Office, which he held till 1875, when
President Barrios died and the Conserya-
tives went into power. Elected to Con-
gress, he was made President of the House
of Deputies, and presided over lis meet
ings in 1880, 1881, 1892 and 16S3-four years.
Congress designated Senior Lainfiesta Vice
Presidentof Guatemala for one year.
Minister Lainfesta is now giving the fin
ishing touches TO a history of Guatemala
from the Presidency of General Carrana In
1865 TO thedeath of President Bar1os in 1856.
He has written two or three other books on
Central American affairs, which have at
tracted wide and marked attention at home
and abroad
