Parties wishing their wool worked

wool carded, not to grease it, as the
oil we use gives much better satisfac-
ton, in carding or spinning.
We will pay freight on all wool sent
us by railroad exceeding ten pounds,
to be spun or woven into goods.

Ex-sHERIFF BREWER, OF CHAT
HAM, BEHIND.

Ex-Sherif Brewer, of Chatham Co,
was Sheriff when the State National
Bank failed. He had the county funds
in that bank, and claims that he lost
$1,000 in round numbers. The next
legislature authorized the county COM
missioners to compromise with Sheriff
Brewer. He was allowed a credit of
$500 in round numbers. In entering
the credits, 81, 900 is entered once
and $1,O25 is entered twice. This
makes his credits on this account
l,O25 more than the compromise
allowed him and about 5000 more than
he actually claimed. This statement
has been verified and the records show
it. The county is short that much on
his accounts. He has been asked every
day on the canvass to explain this, but
fails to do so. Yet the people Of Chat
ham are asked to return him to the
Office. Will they do it,

HOP SMITHS KNIVES.

Correspondent &c of the Progressive Farmer.
GOLDsBoRO, N. @.
Certainly there is not, or will not at
least, be any person in North Carolina
who has, or will hear a prominent
Democrat speech prior to November
9Th but that is familiar with the great
saving the Democratic tariff bill has
made to the people in the one article Of
pocket knives. 1t is so great and is
such a magnificent example of the
great Democratic party in Congress,
under Grover Cleveland, towards the
citizens relief, that it is heralded on
the hustings by every Democratic
speaker who has been able to procure
one Of ". Hop" Smiths low tariff IS
cent knives.
Mr., R. B. Glenn, in his wonderful
plea for this Democratic saving to the
people, made in the Goldsboro opera
house exhibited one of Hop Smiths IS
cent knives under the Democratic tariff
bull, in a very gleeful manner and Mr..
T. NJ. Simmons, when he met the Hon.
Marion Butler, at Jordan's Store,
Wayne county, N. c., exhibited to his
hearers one of these 35 cent low tariff

oough he could not very well afford to

aln that they had sold the same knife
VT Is cents and Is cents under the Nc

any less till the Democratic tariff went

DIRECTIONS
For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.

For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing.-FOod in crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; ~wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc, in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry car be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entraiis, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it viii be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No. 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. IfyOu have any old builturkeys,
put them in a separate package Or with
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack rs
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility Of the
contents shifting about. Boxes r.
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and o
liable to get injured.

very statements and action in the
premises are parallel examples of what
democracy has done and will do for the
people If they continue to accept such
rotten rubbish, from su;h deceptive
teachers, in the future. Are these men
who use Mr.. Smiths statement to the
people OF the State regarding value of
his 80 cent knife under the Democratic
and Mckinley tariff and exhibit the
same IN connection with such state
ment as a true proposition-honest,
truthtul9 If so, then they must be
very Ignorant or very negligent-igno-
rant In the application OF their knowl-
edge, or very negligent of their own
character, besides being criminal in
the case Of freemen's rights, by a mis-
statement of facts.
Here r the facts which are an
analysis of the knife question under
the Mckinley VS.. Democratic tariff bill:
One dozen knives (pocket) costing in
Europe So, cost under the Mckinley
bill 1888 tariff, making the dozen
knives cost S.. 83 delivered in the United
States, plus freight. The tariff on the
same dozen knives under Democratic
tariff is $1.75-a difference of only
$1.O8 cents on the dozen-49 cents
each under Mckinley, and 40 cents
each under the Democratic bill. So
the tariff on a knife that sold for 65
cents or rs cents at retail, was only re-
duced 9 cents, and from IS cents and
rs cents to 30 cents and 35 cents. A
dozen knives that cost in Europe 81 so,
cost under the Mckinley bill $1.44
tariff to bring them into America;
1924 per dozen, plus freight. The
same 81 so per dozen knives cost under
the Democratic tariff bill 90 cents
tariff. Total, $2.43; a saving of only
At cents each, or 81 cents per dozen.
Under the Mckinley bill the knives
243 cents each, and under the Demo
cratic tariff bill they cost 2O4 cents
each. And, fellow-citizens this 2O4
cent knife cost "Hop" Smith about 90
or "a cents under the present tariff,
and he sells it to you at 80 and 35 cents,
and under the Mckinley bill it cost him
about 81 or % cents each, and he tells
you through the ablest speaker the
Democrats have in the State that at
that price-27 and % cents each-he
could not sell it for less than IS or rs
cents each, but under Democratic tariff
when it cost him % or "a cents each "a
difference in tariff of only At cents) he
can sell it to you for 80 and IS cents.
And this false, deceptive knife state
ment is held up to the people of the
State as one of the best of the tariff
savings. Now if intelligent men lend
themselves as such imposters and re-
sort to the use of such base f%abrications
upon their own party for not one of
ours do) to vote it one more chance,
what may you expect of the same
men and party if they again go into
power9 ABBOTT L. SWANSON.

YEATEsVILLE, N. @.
I take this method of writing your
paper from this section of North Caro-,
lima, and Furthermore giving you a
synopsis of the political issues of the
day. The Peoples party of this section
is fast booming and gaining steps; and
the Peoples party, if l mistake not,
proposes in It's platform a distinctly
American policy, not one of aristOc-
racy or bigOtry, but one broad, philan-
thropic policy that best helps our whole
people bY the example of a Just and
honest government that restores peace
and contentment in the home of every
man. The Peoples party in its plat
form advocates States rights, not par
tisan faction, but gives every true and
patriotic citizen equal rights before the
law. 1t Furthermore advocates pure
~Jeffersonian principles, and gives each
and every qualified voter his equal
rights before the law.
On Saturday, the 18th ult., Hons. W.
A. B. Branch and Harry Skinner met
in Joint debate at this place and there
was a large and enthusiastic gathering
from Bath and Pantego townships and
mostly Peoples party farmers. Col.
Skinner, for an hour and a half, held
his audience spell bound. He made a
telling speech, condemning the Demo
cratic party during its last ten years of
unjust government and supremacy;
Mai. Branch, though a very good
Democrat, made some very poor points
in his arguments. Though an orator
he has not got the gift of a silver
tongued orator and practical debater:
Col. Skinner spoke on State, National
and international affairs.
