NEW YORK RACKET STORE Al
BELINDA, VA.

The Racket Store is daily growing
in popularity us IL place to get good
goods at low prices, admits of no
doubt in any ones mind that deals
there. to be u Successful merchant,
one does not require IL large amount
of brains Or tact. but he wants the
right kind of system. The old time
way of buying on credit and selling
on credit makes the merchant and
buyer both poor. Think of the diff
ference of IS per cent. and 90 per cent.
and then consider how much cheaper
one can buy the goods if he has the
cash. No wonder the cash system
pays both parties.
We of the Racket Store have intro
duced the cash system here and have
surprised many. That goods can be
sold so low considering the quality.
We sell Hamburg and Lace, Sc. at
prices never heard of before. Why
can we sell so cheap? Because we
buy for cash of the big failures like
.illnutt, Nixon & GoldsborouGh and
other such failures, SO that we can
sell them at wholesale prices. We
have Just received u large lot of
SHOES from the trustees of Allnutt,
Nixcn & Goldsborough, which we
will sell ut wholesale prices, and you
have only TO ask your neighbor to
prove our assertion.
We have other special lines in now,
such us Mems Shirts, Hats, Dress
Goods, Mating, Irish Potato Seed,
also Powcll's Fertilizers for all kinds
of trucks.

Clcrelanl and the Force Bill.

Every Gay or so the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Mr.. Hills chief organ. tries
to fire the southern heart with The
f;i!sehood that ''whcn the Force bill
threatened the utter ruin of the
South Grover Cleveland had not n
word to say" At the time referred
to Mr.. Cleveland made the following
public declarations, vigorously con-
dcmning the proposed legislation:
when we sec our political adver-
saries bent upon the passage os u
Federal law, with the scarcely denied
purpose of perpetratin.- partisan ST.
premacy, Which invades the States
with election machinery designed to
promote Federal interference with
the rights of the people in localities
concerned, discreditirg their honesty
and fairness, and justly aroUSing
their jealousy of centralized power,
we will stubbornlv resist such dam
gcrous and revolutionary scheme, in
obedience to our pledge for the sup
port of the State governments in al
their rights"
This stalwart condensation of the
Force bill was made in an address at
Philadelphia on the Sth of January,
1891. AT that time the House bill
was pending before the Senate, and
the long AMI memorable struggle
against its passage was not yet be-

Entered at the Postoaice at Accomac
C. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

AT the recent meeting OF the State
Democratic Executive Committee the
views of the members thereof were
obtained on the presidentialnuestion:
Capt. Ham Shepperd, q close friend
of Senator Barbour and former
secretary of the committee, said that
Hill has the Virginia politicians with
him, "but Mr.. Cleveland" said Mr..
Shepherd, has the masses of the
people" Mr.. Shepperd is against
Cleveland himself Senator Echolls,
of Augusta. one of the most conssr-
vative members of the committee, a.
though q Hill man, concurs in this
view. \ member of the executive
committee, who is regarded us one of
the shrewdest politicians in Virginia.
although for Hill, makes a similar
admission of Clevcland'S strength
with the people" In other words,
the bosses are against Cleveland, but
the masses are for him and though it
is generally conceded by the most
ultra anti Cleveland men that such
is the case, the politicians have the
etrrontery TO acknowledge, that disre-
garding the wishes of the people they
hope TO overcome them hy thorough
organizations in the interest of Mr..
Hill or some one else. The question
therefore left for the people TO decide
is, will they allow themselves to be
desrauded cut of their rights by the
machine methods which are threat
ened TO be practised upon them?

SOCIALISTIC LABOR PARTY.

They Denounce the Convention at Omaha
and Ridicuie tho Strikers at Homestead
-Pure Soc alism the Only Panacea for
Poverty.
Last night, on the eve Of Independence
Day, the Pittsburg section of the Socialistic
Labor Party of the United States were as
sembled discussing the evils that threaten
the nations happiness.
In response to an invitation sent to many
of the Socialists and Freethinkers of Pitts
burg and Allegheny, a goodly number rep
resenting these ideas assembled in their reg
ular meeting hall, at the corner of
Smithfield and Sixth avenue. In addition
to the discussion Of the wage question by
prominent Socialists, the political feature
OF it was considered, and action taken to
send delegates to the State Convention,
to be held in Pittsburg on July 81, when
delegates will be chosen from this State to
represent the Socialistic Labor Darty at
National Convention in Chicago, the date
of which is yet to be named. The object of
this action is to destroy the influence of the
Peoples party, who claim that their plat
form is the embodiment of true socialistic
principles.
A new chairman is elected at every meet
ing. y. II. Lewis, citizen of England,
was chosen last night He said that the
action of the American Socialists would be
watched with interest by the fraternity
upon the other side of the water. Dele
gates from Chicago and other socialistic
centers were present. The Secretary read a
paper on the wage question, followed by an
address on the "Wage Slave" by promi-
nent Socialist of this city.
Editor Gessner, of the Pottery and Glass
s'orker, of Chicago, bitterly denounced the
condition of the laborer at Homestead, and
said: "The Homestead workers are them
selves partially to blame for the present
condition Of things in the mills at that
place"
