Speeding the Parting Guest.
That genial man and most efficient
postmaster Maj. Samuel III. Smith
has been, or will be in q few days,
superseded by Col. VIM. III. Wheeler,
recently appointed to the postmas-
tership of this city.
That a Republican should be APP
pointed to this office was to have
been expected, and, taking all things
into consideration, there is no espec-
ial objection to be made to Mr..
Wheeler.
But we do regret to part with Maj.
Smith. On the 10th day of this
month he will or would have served
this people as postmaster exactly
four years.
That he has served to the satisfac-
ton of all, we think none win say us
nay. He has acted well his part and,
you know, "there all the honor lies. -
We wish him well in all his future
undertakings. so

WINsroN ToBA.Yo PRICES
This is the Highest Priced Market in Ii

This is the Highest Priced Market in the
,, South.
1t is fact that has fer some time
been felt and appreciated by those
directly interested that Winston paws
the highest prices for tobacco of any
market in the South; but the fact is
not as generally known as it should
be.
We want to advertise the fact to
the outside world, and we have been
talking to some OF the warehouse
men and manufacturers on the sub
ject.
Why do the tobacco buyers of Win
ston pay higher prices for the weed
than those of Danville, Durham,
Richmond, Reidsville, Lynchburg, &c?
A member of the Piedmont Ware
house firm tells us that their ware
house sells every season large guam
titles of tobacco shipped by buyers
at Durham, Danville and Reidsville,
and that it is no uncommon thing
for them to sell the consignments for
twice the amount paid by the buyers
at the above-named markets.
One of the principal reasons for this
state of affairs is that Winston is the
only place where more tobacco is
manufactured than is sold upon the
warehouse floors of the city.
For instance: Here is a pile of to-
bacco being auctioned off. There are
forty manufacturers and prize factory
dealers bidding on it. They want
that particular grade Of tobacco
they want to fuse it in their bust
ness" and they will run the prices up
to what it would cost them in COM
missions and freight to this place,
over and above the Danville, Dur
ham or Reidsville price-and that is
considerable. That is the principal
reason, and it is a plain and readily
understood one, isn't it
Another reason is this: The buyers
of Winston, who are principally the
manufacturers, have ample storage
and money facilities for the purchase
of great quantities of tobacco, and
they do not stop buying when they
get enough stock to run them 30
days or three months. They buy
ahead, and will pay as much for the
last hundred pounds they expect to
manufacture as they did for the first
hundred pounds they bought. This
is a very great advantage we have
over smaller markets.
1t is true that some few buyers here
buy on orders and ship the stuff else
where, but they only get tobacco Of
a grade of which there is more than
is needed by our home manufacturers.
And for every pound of tobacco
shipped from here, two pounds are
imported of grades of which there
was not a sufficient supply offered on
our own market.
So, the tobacco-grower can readily
see from the above that it is greatly
to his interest to sell his product
here. Those who have done so here
tofore will continue to do SO in the
future. You can't hire him to take
his tobacco to any other market.
This article will be read by many
| who have not sold at this market,
and we want you to give us t: ial .
Our word for it, you will be more
than satisfied if you do.

Our Fruit Fair--A Suggestion.

+
Brother Duffy, an old Winstonian,
writing editoriallv in the Wilmington
Star, Of our coming Fruit Fair, says
the Indications are that the fair of
the North Carolina Fruit Growers
Association which is to be held at
Winston, August Dist and 22nd will
be an especially fine one. The fruit
crop this year has been remarkably
good both in quantity: quality and
variety, presenting fine opportun-
ity for a large and varied display.
Winston is in the heart of one of the
best fruit-growing sections in the
South, where fruits of all kinds
grown in this latitude attain perfec-
ton. There is fruit enough raised in
Forsyth and the adjoining counties
to make an exhibit that the State
might be proud of even if there were
no contributions from other parts of
the State, which there will be, how
ever, and good ones. Tie building
in which the fair will be held is a large
one reaching the length Of block
and hundred feet or more wide, well
ventilated and splendidly lighted by
skylghts in the roof, SO that the ex-
hibits will show to advantage.
And then adds: Our object in writ
ing this is to suggest that this would
be good time for Wilmington s bus
mess men to make a pleasant trip
into that section of the State, see at
a glance partial illustration of it's
productive capacity, and form the
acquaintance of the people, who are
shortly to become more closely iden-
titled with Wilmington. The trip
would doubtless result in both pleas
ure and profit.

that it is not thrown away after

We Endorse This.

The Scotland Neck Democrat very
pertinently says:
'The press of North Carolina has
never been more ably presided over
by scholarly men as a whole than now.
1t is true there are many yeung men
at the desk in the various newspaper
offices of the State; but for the most
part they are not there looking for
an easy job. They are there for hon
est. manful, ennobling work. They use
the pen and the scissors as a profess
sion, and not as q make-shift until
something better turns up. The State
never owed more to it's editors than
it owes to-day"

The Bottom Dropped Out


We are talking of the clouds, of
course.
We have never known it to rain as
it has lately. The mountain roads
have been washed fearfully, many
mill dams have broken and much
damage has been done to crops all
over the State.
Mr.. L. G. Jones writes us from
Bethania, this county, that they were
visited almost by a water-spout. He
says: Great damage has been done
to corn on bottom lands, and all the
grain and grass, cut and left standing
on bottom lands was swept away.
Along Muddy Creek alone the loss to
the farmers will amount to hundreds
of dollars This creek was higher
than it was ever known to be by the
Oldest inhabitant living in this vicin-
ity. Most of the mill ponds are
broken, and we are compelled to 60
to Salem or Winston for -four.

A Big Insurance Policy.
We were shown yesterday an I'M
usual insurance policy, by Mr.. w. HI.
Summerell, special agent of the New
York Life. 1t was issued to Mr..
Moses E. Lopez, of Charleston, S. c.,
president of the Coosaw Mining Co.,
bred ($1OO, OOO) thousand dollars.
1t is an extraordinary thing for a
man to take out a policy to such an
amount in one company, and not
only reflects credit on Special Agent
Summerell, but is another evidence of
the faith the best men of the country
have in the Old Reliable New York
Life.

FOR THE LADIES'
SOMETHING ABOUT SHOES

Do you know what a hand made
shoe IL? Not shue made all over
by hand sewing; that whould be very
clumsy, the uppers are cut by meas
ure of the foot in size, and stitched
by machine, the soles are cut and
the two put together by skilled
shoemaker, or bench, with awl and
waxed end. Such work is expen-
sive, and is only done nowadays on
the best material. Much machine
work that looks like hand work is
said to be hand work. That, of
course, is false. Sometimes machine
work is said to be as good as hand
work. IF that is so, why is it that
machine work is never used except
on poor material and hand work is
only put ON good material? Our

and good hand work. We handle
