BUTTER SEIzED.-Clerk of the Mar
ket Lyles this morning seized a lot of
butter, purporting to contain thirteen
pounds, but which upon being tested
was found to weight but eleven aud a
quarter pounds. There is occasional
complaint of light weight in much OF
the butter exposed for sale in the mar
ket. and often people are disposed to
lose an ounce or so in weight rather
than subject the stock of s countryman
to seizure. Mr.. Lyles's action this
morning will doubtless cause more ca: Q
to be taken in future by producers.

DEATH OF AN OLD REsIDENT.-Cath-
arine Hall, better known is Pug
Hall, who had been animate of the
aims house fer about so years, died
there this morning. In former years
she lived with her mother in a small
frame house on the north side of Wilkes
street, between Fairfax and Royal.
Having from early life an appetite for
drink, her life was q failure, and being
unable to care for herself, she entered
the aims house upon the death of her
mother and had remained there ever
since. She was an i~noffensive and
harmless woman, calculated to excite
commiseration. OF late her mental
faculties had become seriously i'm
paired.

TOMORROW, FRIDAY,
Remnant Day.

Every department in the
house is going to make a spe-
cial effort tomorrow to close
out all oddlots and small guam
titles and short lengths and
everything that can be called
a remnant. 1t goes without
saying that this cannot be done
without making very low
prices. Therefore no matter
how desirable the article, or
how low its former price, it is
now marked at a quick-selling
figure. The remnants are two
numerous to be advertised, but
hundreds Of shrewd buyers will
naturally look them up at our
counters tomorrow.

PROJECTIONS DOOM.
The Chicago Herald is right
when it says

The Chicago Herald is right
when it says :
1.-The people of the United
States have seen the end of pro-
tective tariff legislation. Con
gress will never pass another
tariff bill increasing the duty on
any manufactured product for
the purpose of giving protec
ton to the manufacturer.
1.-The future tariff legis-
lation of the United Ststes will
tend constantly toward lower
schedules on a revenue basis.
The new tariff act reduces Nc
Kinley duties an average of 80
per cent. The next tariff act
will reduce the new rate of du-
ties 80 per cent. or perhaps
more.
"'The trusts never will control
again, by main strength, nor by
legerdemain, nor by corruption,
the action Of either house Of con-
gress on any tariff bill. Never
in the future will a group Of SEN
ators or members Of the House
have the power of the hardihood
o bargain openly with a rich
and powerful trust for the regu-
lation Of duties in a tariff sched-
ule.
''The special representatives
of protection in congress and
elsewhere in public life have had

credited in the partisan politics
of the country. They will drop

THE COMBINE COMPLETED.

In accordance with the plan
advocated by Major H. L. Grant,
a member of the State Republi-
can Executive committee, in his
secret letter. which letter subse-
quently came to light and was
published in these columns, the
Republican and Populist leaders
held a conference in Raleigh on
the evening before the late Pop
ulist State convention and there
in fixed ''the slate" or State
ticket, that was to be nominated
by the Pop. convention the next
day and endorsed by the Repub-
lican State convention when that
body should assemble in Ra-
leigh. The Pop. convention
convened on the morrow and duly
carried out it's stipulation in the
compact by nominating "the
slate" or machine made candi
dates; viz: Furches, Faircloth
Clark and Connor for the Su
preme court bench, and Worth
for State Treasurer. When this
ticket was 'shanded down. anG

Populistic yeomanry there wa:

were made at Sandy Hook last
week when five large projectiles
filled with nitro gelatine were
fired a distance of two thousand
yards and all dropped within an
area not half as large as that oc,
cupied by a modern battle ship.
The force of the explosion was
enough to sink Immediately any

Let's Have Democratic Rotation

Editor Argus If it be true,
as some of your correspondents
say, that Capt. Brown is the
only man who can be elected on
the Democratic ticket for Regis
ter Of Deeds, then it would be
best to nominate him again; but
[ for one don't believe it. Your
correspondents are simply color
blind; they certainly have not
given any Did reasons for their
claim, and all this tomfoolery
about the good things the other
parties are saying about him is
disgusting and fails to show that
he IS any more popular than other
good Democrats in the county.
Let us look into the matter a
little: At the three elections at
which Capt Brown was elected,
which one of our other can
didates was beaten ? Now let
US see who are the men Capt.
Brown has beaten. l believe his
first opponent was M. B. Farmer.
l don't know that Mr.. Farmer S
we'll known incompetency in
jured him any; it ought not, as
he could, if elected, have en-
ployed Col. Washington to run
the Office just as Capt. Brown
has done; but Nose had rendered
himself, while a Democrat, very
unpopular with the negroes,
and they would not vote soidly
for him, and this made him
easy for Captain Brown to
beat. His next man was w. B.
Baker, a Dudley negro, and his
last opponent was the Third
Party candidate, A. L. Swinson,
who is given up to be the weak
est man in the county. So the
Captain has done no more thar
the other candidates on the Dem
ocratic ticket The fact that one
candidate in the county gets {
larger majority than the Others
is not always evidence that he is
more popular than the others
You must take into cOnsidera
ton who his opponent was
Would any one, except Capt
| Brown, get as large a majority i
he was a candidate against Judg'
Faircloth as he would get if hi!
opponent was Silas Herring?
Now, all this to do about th'
party going to get cleaned VI
in the county unless certain OLE
officers are renominated is all TO
effect; and any one who has reat
these communications canno
fail to have been struck with tn,
sameness about them. It is lik
examining at different places
grist from the same mill. New
Hope and Stony Creek have sen
in their installments; those for tn
other townships will probably b
forthcoming pretty soon. Rota
ton may not be the cry of the pol
iticians, but it has come an
come to stay, and it will knoc

fight every one can help.
Let all do the best we can and
then we all will have done our
duty, and if every one does his

Yours very truly,
MARION BUTLER,
State Chairman.
P. S.-Use every effort to get
a good Peoples party paper
into the hands of every voter.
and especially into the hands
of every honest Democrat during
the next two months.
There has not been in twenty
five years. and probably will not
be in the next twenty five
years, a time when the truth
about our government, both
State and national, will have a
greater effect than right now.
MARION BUTLER.
Aug. 18th, 1894.
Mr.. Butler is issuing a great
many circulars these times. The
foregoing appears to have two
objects, or, more correctly speak
ing, one object in two guises.
The object is money all the time,
and the recipient of the circular
is invited to cough it up first for
the Populist compaign fund and
second for "a good Peoples
party paper Mr.. Butler pub
fishes Peoples party paper
himself, and no doubt thinks it a
good one. Doubtless this cam
paign fund he calls for is needed.
1t must cost a great deal of
money to run this propagan-
da, for it's campaign goes on
all the time, in election years
and others. Democrats will take
note of the fact that, what
ever amount the Populists put
up, the Democratic party will
raise ten times as much for cor
rupting the election. Evidently
MIR. Butler is ION to- their game.
and we put him on notice that
after the election we shall
expect him to see to it that
indictments are found in
the courts against the Demo
Gratis who corrupt the election, .
and also against the Populist and
Republicans whom they corrupt.
It will not do to say that, the
courts being Democratic, con-
victions cannot be secured. Mr..
Butler knows that a mere indict-
ment for the criminal offense
constitutes almost as much of a
disgrace as does conviction; and
besides, the verdict of a jury is
a very uncertain thing and there
is no telling but what some OF
these conspirators might by
chance be convicted if the case
against them were vigorously
pushed. AT all events it is worth
the effort, and as Mr.. Butler al
ready knows that these crimes
are calculated, he will be with
out excuse il he does not fortify
himself with the evidence o-
their commission.-U Charlotte %
