Important to Farmers

Because of the low price of wheat and gen.
eral tiShtnesS of the times | propose to meet
the condition of the circumstances as far as
am able, and to this end have determined to
make radical change in the mode of hand
ling fertilizers this fall season.
Some OF the leading items in fertilizers are
OStlng less this season than for some years.
and in addition to this factor in the farmers
interests will sell at small profit to regular
time buyers who pay promptly when due, and
from these low prices Will give liberal dis
count TO ALL BC IERS who, to save money,
will make g special effort and pay spot cash.
| have bought not only general aSSort-
ment, as heretofore, of the best goods to be
had in the fertilizer line, but believing the
plan adopted by me for this season will be ap-
preciated by my friends and will add TO my
trade have, by buying large stock been
able to get low prices, and the farmers who
kindly call on me before buying elsewhere will
find that they will do themselves good service
by so doing.
think my experience in selecting fertilizers
"a speciality with me for years-and my
know ledge OF the wants of farmers in this sec
ton are worth something to my customers as
well as to myself, ana in making selections
their interests as well as my own are carefully
considered.
My stock, as heretofore will consist of the
best goods made, in fine mechanical condition,
and will be full early and late, and farmers
can get anything they want at any time in sea-
son.
As profits will be short, must make the cost
of handling Just as small as possible, and will
therefore not be able to sell through agents,
or to send out any one to canvass, and gil
such unnecessary expense will be saved by
farmers who buy directly of me.
Don't forget that regular time buyers
VIII get their goods at low cash price, with
interest added for time, and that SPOT CASH
will entitle every buyer to liberal discount.

Waynsborough, in this State, one oil

address, which closed as follows: And
above all, let me beg you to keep away
from all who wish to use you as a mere

Hon. Harry Tucker made speech in
Buchanan, Botetourt county, Thurs
day night to large audience. The
Buchanan Banner says:-
"When Mr.. Tucker entered the hall
an ovation was given him. On reaching
the stage, Mr.. A. q. Preston, our coun-
ty chairman, introduced him, and for
nearly two hours Mr.. Tucker held his
audience spellhound. His arguments
were plain and to the point, and many
of those present were made stronger in
the faith of Democracy.
The visit of Mr.. Tucker resulted in
much good, and while the odds may
now be against us, we will give GOOD
account of ourselves on the 9th of next
November. Let every Democrat from
now on do his full duty. Three cheers
for Tucker and the grand old party he
represents"

True Views About Lypehing by COlOred
Preacher.

Under date of September 10Th, the
Buena Vista correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says the following
statement has been given that cores
pendent by the Rev. R. d. Cobbs (col-
. ored), who, as an ex-slave and freed
man, has had lifetime experience
among his race in the South:
Dear Sir.-I was born and brought
up in slave times, have lived in the
South since the war, moving largely
among my own people, and am there
fore in position to emphatically deny
the reports which have been circulated
abroad that the South is a bad place
for the negro to live, or that he is deni
ed his civil rights in this country.
There are no people on the globe who,
under the same or similar circum-
stances, have made such rapid prog
ress in the last thirty years, in every
important respect, as the Southern ne
| grOes.
They have accumulated millions of
property, and they have made CORE
spending progress in education and
intelligence. As rule they are con-
tended and happy.
Gas for the white people of the
UucT6 are uO IuOTc lOcTdl anu
kind hearted anywhere. Exceptions
can be found, of course, in all COM
munities; but the leading white people
of the South want everybody to do
right, whether he is white or black,
and when they see a man trying to do
right they are ever ready to help him.
When, on the other hand, they know
any one to run with willing feet after
evil, they dscountenance him, of
course. The South is my home, and l
do not want to see her misrepresented.
WHY LYNCHED.
THE question has been asked, Why
are negroes lynched in the South since
the WARP | reply that nearly every
case of such lynching was for brutal
outrage on the wives and daughters of
white people. The scroundrel who
commits such crimes deserves to die.
l am opposed to lynch law, not that
think it cruel for such guilty villains,
but because it is opposed to civiliza-
ton and good government. Miss Ida
Wells ought to make these things
known in England, and tell why the
Ilynching is done in the South. Let
her make known the devilish cause.
AGREAT MISTAKE.
at is always pest to show both
sides. l have no doubt that her pur-
, pose in the work she is doing is to do
her people good, but she is making a
+ great mistake. l can give her better
, plan. Let her come among her own
people in the South, among those who
; are not half reared, who loaf around
bar rooms, gambling houses, and other
such places, where crimes are general
, ly Matched. Let her go to work
among this class of fellows, and teach
!, them some of the duties and response
bilities of citizenship, and Christianity
and she will do more good in one day
than she will do in England in five
! years.
: CARES LESS.
: England knows little about the
Southern negro and probably cares
less. Not one word spoken there or in
any other foreign country will help the
cause of the negro here, but if we &C
to work, teach our people and pray tC
God to make them what they ought tC
be, He will bless such labor He viii
answer such prayer, and the lynching
of negroes in the South will be nc
more. REV. r. d. COBBS.

Grades.

rms Is indeed strange phenomenon
for the consideration of National Wool
Growers Associations. Prices of for
eign have declined about 40 per cent.
while prices of domestic woods have adj
vanced about 10 per cent. during the
last two months.
The Reporter of August Both, says
that the chief feature to the Boston
wool market has been the purchase
of a million and a half pounds of Mon
tana by manufacturer" and con-
cludes that 1T has been, on the whole,
a fair week for trade, and woods in gen
eral have been sold at as high a price
as at any time during the. month,
medium woods are specially firm. The
feeling in general is hopeful" Under
New York, the Reporter says, "despite
the uncertainty surrounding the mar
kets there is no quotable change in
prices. There are good many argu-
ments favoring steadiness in prices OF
domestic for some time to come"
Prices of domestic woods, then, have
not tumbled with the adoption of free
wool, as was predicted by the protec-
ton prophets. This is mistake mum
Der two. 1t might be supposed that
after such mOnstrous failures Delano,
Lawrence and Harpster would with
draw into their shells and never peep
again on the wool question This is,
however, unlikely. The real question
now is, will the real wool growers ever
again believe these false prophets.

The announcement that the Louis
lana sugar planters have quit the
Democratic party and gone over bag
and baggage to the Republican party
is distressing. And we say this not from
a partisan standpoint. 1t is a SAD
thought to us that Southern mer
should forsake the party in which they
were born and raised simply and sole
ly, as it appears, for a government
bounty.
But this fact only emphasizes the
corrupting influence of practical pro
lection. 1t was shown in a recent
issue of The State that the average
bounty last year to each sugar planter
was $4,000 and the men who have
drawn SO largely from the public treas
ury will not give it up without a
struggle. Let a man once feed at the

+ A NARROW EsCAPE.-On Friday last

near Moscow, in Augusta county, he
attempted to cross, in his buggy, a
small stream that had been suddenly
raised by violent rain storm. The
stream proved too rapid and strong,
and the horse refused to go further.

horse and attempted to ride him across,
but the waters carried horse, buggy and
man rapidly down stream for quarter
of mile. The young man got tangled
in the lines, was sometimes under the
water, sometimes above, went under
several water gates, &c. Those watch
ing him from the shore thought his
chances were gone, but strange to say
the horse and man escaped while the
buggy was a complete wreck.-St0te

THE SUGAR-TRUST'S IMPORTS.-Re-

Sugar-Trust's large imports of raw
sugars during the tendency of the new
Tariff bill in the Senate.
Through the votes of all the Republic
can Senators and the Commanding the
attempt of the Democrats in the Sen
ate to cut off the Sugar Trusts pro
lection" failed. Aldrich, Quay, Man
derson, Sherman and their Republican
colleagues were always ready to help
the Trust by defeating the Wilson bill
giving the country free sugar. Had
even half dozen Republican Senators
cared to guard the interests of theil
constituents rather than secure PRO
tection'' to the Trust, that gigantic
monopoly would have been deprived
of every cent of protection" and we
should now have free sugar.
Of course everybody knows that the
SugarTrust is the creature of the Nc
Kinley law, which gave it greater
favors than the new tariff law gives it
Some Republicans are making desper
ate efforts to make the people believe
their falsehoods charging Mr.. Cleve
land and his party with favoring the
Trust But these lies will not prevail
Only let the Democrats now unite tC
defeat every candidate who did not
heartily fight for the Wilson bill anG
the people will soon discover that the
Trust is the child and pet of the Re
publican party.-NeaO York Herald.
