President Harrison, in his ad-

OUR OPPORTUNITY.

There Ia q tide In the Affairs
| OF men which taken at It's food

ity, said, in effect. one Of the
greatest English authors. Bot 1t
is thewisv man who knows when
that time has come. We believe
Clinton's time has come, at any
rate, lc: us venture, for otherwise
nothing will ever be gained.
The further We 60 North the
more manufacturing establish
ments we find and the richer are
the people. vs. often delay
starting such enterprises down
South became We haven't large
capital to etcrt big concern.
That is where We make one mis-
take. The most successful man
ufacturing establishments, in
the majority OF cases, start with
small capital which coon swells
to large capital for q larger bus
inea. A small enterprise starts
and feels Its way along, incrsas-
ing it. business with its increas-
ing experience and profits. It's
seldom that such an enterprise
fails, while those started on a
large scale often 40. First, above
al. things, We Resd 4 canning

market for what 70 alrea dy
produce and allow to waste, and
at the same time stimulate tho
production Of much moro that

or In this section could raise aud
sell from $50 to $1,000 worth Of
trucking produce in addition to
the usual crop that he now
makes. How can We expect to |
succeed unless we use our lands
for all they are worth and plant
those crops for which they are
specially adapted? The South |
generally is just awakening to |
the importance Of more diversi-
Aed and economical farming,
and at tho same time to tho ne

manufacturing enterprises to

OUGHT TO Be TAXED OUT or EXIS-
TENCE.

The CAUCASIAN gave as II
opinion last week that the ta,
on all itinerant quacks and ped
ulers from abroad should be ..
high as to be prohibitory, and
called upon the General Assem-
bly, to take such action. Tbar
section Of the revenu. bill ha.
been amended to read AZ fol
lows:
Every peddler on foot, $40 fol
every county; with one horse $40
with two or more horses, $50 for eacf
county; every itinerant merchant OF
or dealer whether as principal OF
agent who solicits orders by retail
with or without sample, shall be con.
sidered a peddler and pay a tax OF
$25 in zach county; every itinerant
salesman who shall expose for sale
either on the street or in a house rem.
ted temporarily for that purpose,
goods &C. shall pay a tax of $50 for
each county. Provided that this Sec
ton shall not apply to persons who
sell goods oftheir own manufacture.
This is not sufficient yet. Our
people are better off without
the visits Of these arrant hum
bugs. The News & Observer in
commenting on tho above sec
ton Of the revenue bill, says:
1t would seem that . person who
solicits orders by the wholesale is not
within the scope Of this section. That
we suppose is because of the decision
Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States that drummers cannot be tax.
ed. We mentioned yesterday. that
itinerant statesmen had to pay q tax
of $50 in each county. A more care
full reading Of the section shows thet
it applies only to thoe who after a
fashion set up shop temporarily
and they ought to be taxed out Of
existence.
These are eur sentiments OK
actly. 1t is poor wisdom, indeed,
for HIS to allow TEEN to como
among US at any price which
they can ohord to pay. Suppose
We tax TEEN $500 each and they
eaeo take $500 out Of tho ooun-
ty, leaving little or nothing in
return, theu We have made 4
bad bargain.

TIE CAUCASIAN.

Permit Us TO say a few wordt
about ourselves. As you al
know THE cAUcAHAS came on
ON the 7th Of last June In a new
dress printed on q new press al
all homo print paper. The new
press, which we had then
bought at an expense OF $500
did fairly well for . while, but
soon proved to be a failure a.
you have all seen by the APP
pearanee Of the paper. And no
one has boon more painfully
aware Of the dull print and IN
satisfactory Appearance Of the
paper than euYsolves, and we
have labored increasingly 20
compensate for the bad appear
anee or Inferior mechanical OK
seutlon Of the paper By tho
matter which 10 contained. Bat
we at last decided that it was
impossible 10 run q frst class
paper without being prepared
to do arst class work Seine Of
our frisnds advised as to 20
back to the "pAtent outside"
in which case orr expenses
would be reduced to one half
for typo setting and, too, We
could use a small hand press
for the printing. Whethe, or
not this was good advice 10 yet
to b1 seen. However, 1t did
not coincide with our views.
We belieyt that when a
change n = lie 1t should DO
with . view TO progress, ina
proVonent, and Development.
In addition We believe tie .. o.
pie Of this section would apprs-
ciate \ first class, live, all homo
print paper and show their ap-
probation In q tangible way.
30 We determined to buy q new
and bstter-a hrst class press
and to be rurs that We were not
cheated again we wont TO the
trouble and expense Of going to
the factory and buying In per
GOD. This We have done and In
addition have furnished our
Office with q quantity of new
material, making it q first class
Office In every respect. The
press We have purchased ia a ,
large now Campbell Power
Press. The Campbell printing
Presses haye q world wide repu-
tation, and is everywhere known
rs one of the best presse. made. !
In fact II is the Standard |
Printing Press.
This improvement has been
effected at an enormous expense |
for q county newspaper, and it
Is evident to you all that We
must have an Increased cireula-
ton to Justify such an outlay.
We now have about 1,4OO sab
scrlbors and must have at least |
5000 to enable us to make the
paper what il should b, and |
what We arc determined TO make !
1t. Will You not assist as in at
talning this ends Show this
paCsr to your noighbor and i'm
press upon him his duty to help
support it Also poiat out to
him the special merits Of the
paper. Tell him that it gives
Ia q mt she'll all the news from
other counties that In worth a

most important State, and ill

A Fine Entertainment

The McLean-Prescott Company Of
which Mr.. r. ID. Mclean (Shepherd)
and Miss Marie Prescott are the stars,
gave an excellent performance in the
Academy of Music at HaSerstown last
Thursday evening. Mr.. Henry Shep-
herd chartered special train on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad and in
vited about fifty persons to accompa-
ny him and be his guests for the even
ing, so Shepherdstown was we'll rep
resented at the performance. The
play presented was "Virginius, trag-
edy that is all tragedy, unrelieved by
any light vein TO rest the mind OF the
observer Unusually good acting is
the only thing that can make such
PLAY go" and Mr.. Mclean and Miss
Prescott We're fully equal to the task
Mr.. Mclean, who took the part of
Virginius, has without doubt greatly
improved in the past year, and we
should say that he lacks nothing save
that mysterious quality which only
years of study and thought and expe-
rience will undoubtedly add to him
His voice is magnificent, his manner
easy and engaging, his physique he
roic, his talent inherent, his love of
his profession unbounded-in short he
possesses just those qualities that will
make great actor. His performance
on Thursday evening was really fine,
and he was encored time and again by
the audience. As Virginia Miss
Prescott was very pleasing, and sus-
tanned the character quite in accord
ance with her well-known ability.
The minor members of the company
were, generally, very good, and the
presentation of the play was thorough
and complete in all its appointments.
