NEW YORK RACKET STORE AT
BELINDA, Va,

The Racket Store is daily growing
in popularity as a place to get good
goods at low prices, admits of no
doubt in any ones mind that deals
there, to be a successful merchant,
one does not require large amount
of brains or tact, but he wants the
right kind of system. The old time
way of buying on credit end selling
on credit makes the merchant and
buyer both poor. Think of the diff
ference of Is per cent. and 50per 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, &C.. at
prices never heard of before. Why
can we sell SO cheap? Because. we
buy for cash of the big failures like
Allnutt, Nixon & Goldsborough and
other such failures, so that we can
sell them at wholesale prices. We
have Just received a large lot of
SHOES from the trustees of Allnutt,
Nixon q Goldsborough, which we
will sell at wholesale prices, and you
have only to ask your neighbor to
prove our assertion.
We have other special lines in now,
such as Mems Shirts, Hats, Dress
Goods, Mating, Irish Potato Seed,
also Powellls Fertilizers for all kinds
OF trucks.
Call and see for yourselves.

Accomac selected last Monday q
delegation practically instructed fol
Cleveland. The meeting was so near
" unanimous in favor of the eN-Presl-
dent, that the forlnality of an IN
struction was hardly necessary. But
no delegate who reads the resolution
adopted and the request coupled
Herewith, can hardly fail to realize
the obligation and duty imposed uD-
on him. Whatever his preferences
might be, he would hardly be willing
to subject himself to the criticism
which would fall to him by a de-
parture from the expressed wishes OF
the people. Nor will any delegate
desire TO act contrariwise to the man
dates OF that meeting and the senti-
ment almost universal, in favor OF
Mr.. Cleveland, of the Democratic
voters of the county.

Yours very truly,
"GRovER CLEVELAND. I"

The Committee on Fisheries in the
House of Representatives have re-
ported favorably on the Lapham bill,
opening all tidewaters of all the coast
States to fishing menhaden and mack
erel with purse seines, by a vote of
five to three. Hon. w. A. Jones
fought the bill before the committee
with ability and force. but cupidity
was stronger than right. If this hill
shall pass the House, the Senate, and
become a law by approval by the
President, it will strike the people of
this district killing blow. 1t will
deprive hundreds of our people di-
rect1y Of the means of livelihood. 1t
reaches yet further. 1t gives to the
Jnited States the right to interfere
oirectly in the local rights of the
States. 1t deprives every State OF
the right to control its own waters.
1t opens the door to the entrance and
marauding of people whose only in
terest is the money to be made. 1t
gives to these marauders the destruc-
tion of not only menhaden and mack
cl, but of every food or other fish
that swims our waters. 1t is the
opening wedge to the utter destruc-
tion of the fisheries of this Safe.
Now ,ponho6 o, oo1 ,no.1-ora1-
all fish coming to their nets will be
menhaden and mackerel-n xt all
food fishes, then the crabs, then the
oysters, CLANS, and the few terrapins,
to be given away under authority of
the United States, in spite of State
laws, and at any season and in any
quantity, the marauding pillagers
may deem fit. Our State fisheries
fish of all kinds, shellfish, terrapins,
wild fowl-are to be destroyed, and
we would have no redress. 1t is in
famous, such a bill Should be reported
fLvorably, still less become Il law.
Let our representative fight this bill
by every possible method-with the
full assurance that the people Of the
First District are at his lack in it
without distinction of party. The
bill IS not properly labeled, it should
be entitled IA Bill to Rob the Poor
and Steal the Rights of the People,
The names of the five men favorab bic
to this destroyer of the rights of
States, and the living of the poor
men of these States are: Fowler of
New Jersey, DeForrest of Connect
cut, Fithian of Illinois, Magnor Of
New York, and Stump Ct Maryland.
Every honest man should cxecrate
them.
Since writing the above, advices
received are that lTr. Stump, after a
more careful examination Of the bill
has concluded that it is too vicious a
measure to receive his approval and
that he together with other members
of committee, absent at the time the
vote was taken, will Kill the bill.

The letter given below is we'll m
Keeping with the honesty and man
illness of Grover Cleveland-such as
was expected from him-but such as
no one else with the nomination for
the Presidency practically within his
grasp would have written. 1t is in
accord for the most part with the
views Of his followers and simply is
what they have determined to do.
Like him they are exceedingly
anxious for the Democratic party
''to do exactly the right thing at the
Chicago Convention and if he is not
the most available man to select some
one else But they propose to have
their preference represented at Chi
cago end when there to let the good
of the Democratic party, be para
mount to every other consideration.
Ii miSgivings exist among the dele
gates after reaching Chicago ''as to
the wisdom of again putting Mr..
Cleveland, in nomination. reasonable
in their nature, then he or no one
else should stand in the way of sue
cess to the Democratic party or should
be allowed to. But as in Accomac,
last Monday, let the honest senti-
ments of the people be first heard in
every part of the country, to the end
that machine politics being relesated
to the rear, the delegates represent
ing the people may be able to act in
telligently and in the best interests
of the party.
