The continual falling of in the
price of cotton is citainIy discour-
aging to the farmer. What has be-
come of Mr.. Cleveland: Where is
the Brighter of all wrongs -
Mr.. NJ. {. Richardson is in Colds
boro and Smithfeld this week on
professional business. He will also
take in the Supreme court at Raj
| eigh before his return.
/ We are requested to state that
| there will be no cotton bought on
Thanksgiving, tue 30th. Farmers
will do well to remember this, and
not bring cotton to Clintsn on that
day.

VIII oh appeared in The CAUCASIAN
OF Nov. 9th. After some discussion
among themselves, they decided to
postpone action, whatever it might
have been.
1t seems that Clinton Is a splendid
place for trade We seldom pass by
| the store doors of those who adver-
tise in THE CAUCASIAN and find
them idle. a warning: if you don't
want to sell your goods, you had
better net advertise them in THE
| CAUCASIAN.
1t was stated in the South Clinton
items last week that seventeen factory
girls made 10000 dishes in one
week. This was an error, and should
have read 10000 dishes made one
day. By working nine hours, or $40
minutes, each girl made 1929 dishes,
which was about twenty dishes made
every three minutes. That was do
ing about.
| Numbers of our subscribers have
called, settled their back dues and
advanced dollar for next years
subscription, while others have ar
ranged for that which is past due,
and renewed for next year. Now
this is what we want every one to
do. We offer to tote fair with every
one. Only a few more days till
December. If you haven't already
called to see us, be sure to do so
within the next few days.
For some time past we have bad
only one train day, and when Oh
time, that one mes at S.25 p. m
| Under such arrangement, the mail
was ready for distribution any where
from nine to ten o'clock, according
to the amount of mail brought. This
twas thought to be an outrage, and
indeed it is inconvenient, to say the
least. But now comes the news that
We are to be worsted, instead of bet
tered. After the Bird day of Dec.
the train will arrive at Clinton just
two hours later, making 1t 1925, p.
m, while the time of leaving il the
morning is two hours earlier. We
desist comment on the above, further
than to say that this new schedule is
Iabominable, and is an insult to the
business men of this town and the
whole community.
We suppose the tariff is not rob-
bing the people much now. We new
er hear anything about it. IT.
