To Celebrate.

Wm. Nicely & Co. have just announced through the papers to their customers and friends that they intend holding 'tfal fete" on the Wednesday and Thursday oi this week, to celebrate the opening of theil new three story building, lately completed and to show the new seasons styles in millinery, cloaks and dress goods. This latter announcement will doubtless inter est our lady friends uncommonly.
 The new three story, which will be thrown open in it's entirety to the public on Wednesday morning, has a frontage ot 74x104 feet, with an entrance on Center street, and occupies an area of thirty thou sand square feet.
 Its second floor has been fitted up and devoted to the use of complete furniture department and is at time of writing thoroughly stocked with complete line of these goods.
 Two new departments, boys clothing and Japanese, have been put in on the main floor and the extra space in the base- ment will go to increase the size of the large housekeeping below stairs. Some of the present counters on the main floor have been enlarged and developed to ac- commodate the conveniences of increasing trade.
 Autumn Reception" or opening in the other departments promises to lend ad- ditional enjoyment to the affair and in order to suit the out-of-towns and their customers in general, the store will remain open Wednesday and Thursday evenings
 The store decorator has been busy for some days past in fixing up artistic adorn- nents to assist the spectacular part of the show and judging from stray glimpses it may be safely assumed that they will be of the most novel and picturesque order.
 The house has made the occasion yet more interesting to buyers as well as sight seers by issuing bulletin of special bar gains or 'tFete Favors"
 Particularly economical prices have been placed upon both pretty and useful arti- cles, and it is pretty probable that those who do not come away with some suitable remembrance of the two days will be in the minority.

Bathing in ocean or river is to have
a new significance to some people this
Summer. Most men know how to
swim, having learned in boyhood; but
when, on occasional visits to the shore,
they go in for dash of salt water they
do very little swimming. Swimming
is a violent exercise to the inexpert,
and, while man may be able to save
himself from drowning, the part of
wisdom is to keep safely near shore
But how one envies the practiced
swimmer who rides the waves in conf
dence or floats about beyond the break
ers. Such swimming must, indeed, be
q delight.
Then the ladies and children who
cling to the rope or paddle in the shall
low water, all but the bOldest AFRAID to
venture in more than waist deep
what chance to learn to swiml Every
girl should know how, but compare
lively few do And the worst of it all
is that every Summer precious lives are
lost for lack of this knowledge. Several
years ago the lOungers about Long
Branch Pier witnessed a queer sight.
Out some distance beyond the surf line
was a bather reclining in the water,
holding an umbrella over his head with
one hand, while in the other was a
book, from which he appeared to be
reading, and at the same time he calmly
smoked cigar.

He was the inventor of new bath.
ing suit, which he afterward offered to
us. We recognized its merits, but
there were difficulties of construction.
His device was merely a rubber air bag
around the chest, concealed between
double folds of a suit of flannel, which
was the material then generally used
for bathing suits. The garb was too
bulky and too expensive. Few people
will pay much for bathing suit to Use
enthusiastically, and ladies especially
will not wear an ungraceful costume,
even though it be life preserver So
the matter rested until last year. a
shrewd maker of Jersey bathing suits
got hold of the patent and utilized his
liCbt woven fabric in combination with
a thin rubber "buoy," the presence OF
which would never be suspected; even
when inflated it is scarcely noticeable.
Dressed in what appears an ordinary
bathing suit, You wade into the water
and there initiate the buoy through
tube concealed under tue folds OF the
suit. Then the happy bather enters
new world of enjoyment. lncased in
a "Neptune Suit" life on the ocean
wave is indeed worth living. All sense
of danger may be baniSbed; you float
ike chip, and may, in comfort and
safety learn both to swim and practice
all the antics of an expert forthwith,
for it is alone the apprehen sion of a
"ducking" that dismays the beginner.
Even the expert swimmer thus equipped
NAV venture on longer excursions in
the water than his strength alone
would permit. The fun of it is no one

THE SOCIAL ECONOMIST, edited by
George GuntOn and Starr HOyt Nichols,
the organ of the Institute Of Social
Economics, New York, is on our table.
This is a new magazine, which, as it's
name implies, is to be devoted to the
discussion of economic questions.
We have read the first number of
this new magazine from cOvertO cover,
and in the reading we have been i'm
pressed with several things. The
editors explain that their new publica-
ton has no magic scheme to prOpose for
bringing in a social millennium at short
notice. These editors tell us that the
subjects of the day r not dynastic,
esthetic, metaphysical or theological,
they n mostly economical. These
gentlemen inform us, with Jovian
calmness, that the ancient saws of
Ricardo and Mill that demand and
supply regulate the law of prices that
wealth is nothing else but material
good, and that worst of bad doctrines

wages is to eXterminate the population
or to prevent its increase, faIlacies
whose folly is written large upon the
very forefront of all modern improve
ment, will be shown to be as false as
they are dreary, and no more fitted for
the guidance of the hopeful modern
age than q tallOw candle would be for
the headlight of the locomotive of a
limited express"
Now we are unable to see how a
magazine that takes the ground that
the questions up for discussion to-day
ARE not dynastic, esthetic, metaphysi-
cal or theological, " can be able to show
that wealth is anything else but ma
terial good. In excluding dynastic,
esthetic, metaphysical and theological

ought to die, in the interests OF econ
omy. The iron barons, the cotton
spinners, the shoe factors Of this u
try are pretty looking infants, to be
sure! Build up our own manufactures,
would you Yes, build them up by
putting your hand into the pockets of
the very poor and taking out, by indi-
rect methods of taxation, some part of
their hard earntngs-nOt to meet the
necessary expenses of an honestly adj

head. God is not obsolete. And so
certain as he is not obsolete, so certain
will there come a day of reckoning tor
the iniquities that are being perpetrated
upon the laboring people of this coun-
try. Some such system as we have
outlined above would take the injustice
out of public taxation, and would give
every man a fair chance in the struggle
of life. Who dares to tell a freeman
that he must be taxed to build up the
fortunes of men who are no better than
himself ? Who but a ~highwayman
ever dared to tell a freeman that he
must stand and deliver for the benefit
of men that have nc claims upon him?
These questions the people 7 asking,
and they will get them answered, late
or soon.

the lines of their utterances wide apart

But no such thing is possible with this
magazine. The calm HISTORIAN way IN
which it's editors settle all sorts OF
questions is about the most refreshing
thing we have met with in the lltera-
ture of discussion.

FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS OF COT
TON PER ACRE.

With the help of a practical and sue
cessful farmer, we will answer the
questions recently asked us by brother
w. T. Hopkins. If we wanted 500 lbs.
of cotton per acre from light gray land,
we would compost 125 one-horse loads
of manure from the hog lot with 65
loads each of stable manure and woods
mould. We would then thoroughly
break and harrow the land-it cannot
be too thoroughly broken and har-
rowed. We would then put the com
post, together with 200 lbs. Of North
Carolina Farmers Alliance Official
Guano per acre in drills four feet apart.
After the cotton came up, we would
chop it out to two feet apart in the
drill, leaving two plants in a hill. We
are inclined to think that it would be
better to apply 100 lbs. of the guano at
planting and the other 100 lbs. at the
time of siding up the cotton. We think
that if u correspondent will follow
these directions, and the seasons are
favorable, he will get his 500 lbs, of
cotton per acre. If he does not get
what he wants, he will have the com
fort of knowing that he followed a
very enlightened method to get it, and
that the fault is not in the method.

LET TAXES BEAR UPON
ALL.

Some time ago we gave some reasons
for regarding the collection of revenue
by means of a tariff upon imports as
being an iniquity. In that article we
promised to say something of a system
we would substitute for the unfair
tariff. We now redeem that promise.
First of all, we would place a small
tax upon the poll of each free male
citizen of the Republic, making excep-
tions in favor of men who are the re-
cipients of public charity. This poll
tax should be small as to amount, and
it should be fixed by the Constitution,
so that it could not be increased at the
pleasure of eXtravagant lawmakers.
We would impose this tax upon polls
in the first place becauae it is easily
assessed and easily collected. But the
main reason for it, the reason which
controls, is, that every citizen par
ticipates in the benefits of government,
and should be made to bear his just
share of the burdens of government.
1t is obvious that this tax would be fair
to all classes. The millionaire and the
peasant would stand upon an equal
footing in respect to such a tax; that
is, each n would pay a certain sum-,
simply and solely for the benefits he
derives from the government.
We would then levy a tax upon
land, the percentage of taxes to the
assessed valuation also to be fixed by
the Constitution. But the amount of
such land tax should be so high as to
make it impossible for individuals and
syndicates to buy up large tracts of
land and hold them for purposes of
speculation. Such a tax would not be
burdensOme to those who take farms
of reasonable size and hold them for
purposes of actual tillage. We would
levy this tax upon land, because no
other species of property is so much
benefited and enhanced in value by
good government as is land. And it is
only fair and just that the property
that receives most benefit from gov
eminent should pay largely and liber-
ally for the support Of the institution
that confers the benefits it enjoys.
Then we would tax all other property
for the support of government accord
ing to it's value, no sort of property be-
ing allowed to escape.
This system, which we have thus
roughly outlined, it will be seen would
bear with the exactness of even Justice
upon all classes of our citizenship.
To this system of taxation, we antici-
pate, the objection would be raised
that the collection of such taxes would
~necessitate the creation of extensive
and complicated fiscal machinery. Bv
no means. We can see no objection to
the collections for the general govern
ment being made through existing
State machinery. There need not be
the addition Of a single office or officer
for the collection of such taxes. The
several States have efficient agents for
the collection Of revenue, and the work
could be done through them.
But such a system of taxation, says
one, means free trade; and if such a
system We're set on foot, what would
become of our infant industries We
say, without one moments hesitation,
that an infant industry that cannot
live after sucking the teat of a mater
