The morals of a party can not be
Ill proved by a man who curses minis
ters of the Gospel and tries to incite race
prejudice and create trouble between
whites and colored to get votes to en-
able him to hold on to office. Ask w.
H. Smith if he knows anybody who has
been doing this sort Of thing.
Our merchants are anticipating a
heavy trade this fall, and are getting
ready to meet all demands. Now is
the time to show to the trading public |
that you are i'll the field for business.
The early advertiser catches the bulk
OF the trade. All you who have
advertisements to shed light on what
You are doing should prepare them

We have in this office number of
appropriate cuts and suitable display
tNrt 1s.h To e.,
men in putting their attractive lines of |
goods before the public and setting
forth the inducements offered by them |

all lines. clothing, hats, shoes, ladies'
dress goods, millinery, &c. First |
come first served.
Is W. II. Smith fit man to be
sheriff of Vance county? We think |
not. Nor Is any man we care not who |
he Is or TO what political party he may |
belong who would intlame race preiu-
dee and bring about trouble between
whites and blacks in order to secure
votes. This Smith has done, and by |
SO doing he has shown himself TO be |
the enemy of both races and q stirrer |
up of strife instead of a peace officer |
and law abiding citizen
If you happen to owe this office any
thing, or if You wish to become sub
scrlber to the paper and have not the |
money to spare, you can pay ia either
wood, potatoes. corn. meal. shucks,
hay-in fact anything that can be used
Ill family. or by COWS, hogs and the
like. We have to buy such things and
they are the same to us as the cash.
Market prices allowed. There is no
excuse Cor any man in the county, who
makes enough for himself and some
thing to spare, not taking and reading
his local paper.
The following, taken from an Ohio
exchange, is about the most unique
thing in the way of dun we have
seen. Says the editor:
"All persons knowing themselves to
be indebted to this office are requested |
to call and settle. All those indebted |
to this office and not knowing it are
requested to call and find out. All
those knowing themselves to be in
debted and not wishing to call are re-
quested to stay in one place long enough
for us TO catch them. All those not in
dehted are requested to call and be-
come indebted"
