IMPORTANT.

WILMINGTON, n. c., Aug. s, "a
To our agents and Frie1ds:
In consequence of very heavy los
ses sustained last season by the ex-
cess in bagging on cotton bales, the
Liverpool Cotton Association has a
dopted rules which prohibit the use
of side pieces and double headings.
The rule is mandatory, and all bales
not conforming thereto will be sub.
iect to reclamations.
Our buyers are especially charged
to exercise great care in the exami
nation of each and every bale for ex.
cessive bagging, and not to purchase
any cotton with side strips or double
bagging They are also directed tc
give preference to bales weighing
500 pounds and above, as nearly all
charges are by the bale, and heavy
weig hts are alike preferable to pro
ductr and consumer.
Compliance with the above require.
menIs will prevent friction, and pre-.
clude the possibility of claims aris
ing from this cause, otherwise the
proc aeer or seller will have to beal
heavy losses.
Respectfully,
Alex Sprunt d Son.

brownsville, \. G., Aug. 24th,
lS9l.-EDITOR CAUCAsIAN:-Early
this morning the crowd bcgan to
gather. They came to hear Marion
Butler and Col. Skinner speak. It.
had been learned, however, that
morning by the committee ON al
engagements that neither Of You could
be present. Your telegram stating
why you could not come was read to
the audience and while, of course, it
was a great disappointment, yet 40
oue blamed you under the circum-
stances. 1t was known that Maj.
VIM. \. Guthrie, Of Durham, would
be Oh hand to ill your place. When
he stepped from the south bound
train he was warmly greeted.
At the hour Of speaking the crowd
numbered over 5000. There were
farmers, lawyers, doctors, merchants,
ladies, and III fact every class Of citi-
lenS represented. We had heard
much Of Maj. Guthrie as a stump
speaker, but his effort today sur
passed all expectations. 1t was able,
it was mastery, it was charming, it
was eloquent. 1t was a clear state
ment Of the condition of the county,
and what caused it., it was IA bold
arraignment of those in power and
all who are responsible for the evils
that we suffer from, it was strong
and convincing presentation of the
remedies and pow 'rful appeal to
rally to one standard and vote for a
change Of methods and of men.
He literally captured the whole
audience.
Evangelist Fife was in the audi
ence and heard the speech, and spoke
highly of Maj. Guthrie and bis
effort.
After dinner Mr.. Fife held reli-
gious meeting, speaking strongly and
| plainly from the text, LET your
| light so shine. &C." In the course
Of his sermon he touched on politics
and announced himself prohibi-
ZIONIST. He denounced dishonesty
in politics and declared in favor of
honest elections and a fair count.
He admoniShed the people upon the
imperative necessity of adopting
honest political met hods and putting
honest men in office. In his prayer
he used this expression, "Lord thou
| knOwest our Government is as cor
rupt as He'll" The sermon made d
great impression and will promote
political honesty.

A most remarkable contribution

is "a speech by representative Mar

ed under the the general leave given

IS given in the quotation from Flet-
cher with which the matter is intro.
duced:
Let me write the ballads of a nation and
| care not who makes their laws
After brief dissertation IN the
usual manner upon Democratic deiic-
iencies, Mr.. Brosius says:

generate brethren their sins of omis-
sion and commission in the scarlet
livery of their real turpitude, but
shall let the matters be established

ac.er for tenderness and mercy.

each IN her own peculiar field, yet
all with uniform consent and true

which shall engage their pens tC

Cent. of Them Wins.
We clip the following from the
testimony of President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor
before the strike commission. Mr..
Gompers said:
$50 long as the present conditions
exists there will be strikes. | do not
Join in this general denunciation of
strikes. | regard the strike as the
protest of labor against beng bound
in slavery. But for the strike labor
would never have been given sec
Ond thought, except for the amount
of work it can produce. Strikes are
not the failures that they are usually
written down to be. Labor statistics
demonstrate that a majority of
strikes are won. The reports in New
York show that two-thirds of the
strikes in that State have been gain
ed by the strikers. Some time ago |
sent out requests for reports Gil
strikes by trade unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
These reports show that eighty per.
cent. of the strikes were won, four
per cent. compromised and sixteen
per cent. lost. Even when strikes
ale lost they have their good effects.
They show employers that if they at
tempt to push their men further
down it will be resisted and will at
least prove very expensive. The fact
that this honorable commission was
called to meet shows that the A. Il,
I. strike had beneficial effect, 1t
at least called the attention of the
public to the grievances of labor. |
believe, however, that this meeting
should have been called during the
strike instead of after. 1t is more
like a coroner's jury now to me than
anything else
"Mr. Gompers stated that the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
would shortly affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor, and
he believed the other railroad organ
: izations would soon follow suit"
