POPULAR APPROVAL

Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house In any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR APP
PRovAL, but that those who
have dealt with US have been
eminently satisfied with their
transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and our REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
AS we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE
Garry a stock of dry
goods that is complete

The Walkerly case, which Mrs. W.
F. Burbank is interested in, was not
decided by the Supreme Court in the
regular course, but was set for re-hear-
ing before the entire court of seven
judges. Accordingly the case will be
argued all over again in March. The
value of the Walkerly estate is above
$500, 900 and six lawyers will appear in
the Supreme Court regarding it. Mrs.
Burbank's attorneys have little doubt
of favorable decision If they do
not win she will have TO content her.

Mr.. Burbank is going to Los Angeles,
a city of $4,000 population, to manage
a new evening paper on salary of $50

California and the other in New
Jersey, are backing the enterprise,
which has good prospect of success.
Mr. Burbank had intended to come to
Winston this spring, but the delay in
the Supreme Court interfered with bis
plans. The hackers of the new paper
have advanced $751; and put Mr..
Burbank in as general manager.

DOTTED WITH GOLD PRopEKTY.
The Southern s. ates viii Produce the
Precious Metal.

Mr.. f. Berdeau, of Cleveland, Ohio,
writes as follows to the New York
Herald Of a recent date:
In reference to the article in your
valuable paper of January 20, treating
about the Southern gold field, wish
to say that l fully agree with the
statement coming from Greensboro,
4. O. In my capacity as prnspectOr
for gold / have been, with pickaXe in
hand. over most of the prominent
gold fields the world over, and | am
fully convinced that in the near future
the Southern States will take a prom
inept stand in the production of the
precious metal, although at present
the surface has hardly been scratched.
The Southern States are dotted
with gold properties from one end to
the other. The VirginIa-Maryland
gold belt. to which l have been pay
ing considerable attention the last
few years, runs in South westerly di-
rection through the middle sections
Of those States and continues its
course into North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, into
Mexico, This belt covers at least
twenty counties in Virginia, and
quartz veins exist of immense size in
Fauqueir, Goochland, Louisa and 9th
er counties. quartz taken from veins
at different sections showing the fire
assay from $40 to $1,000 gold to the
ton. Two years ago | saw six hun
dred pounds OF ore taken from vein
in Montgomery county, Md, near the
Virginia border, which yielded $780,
900 gold, this being pocket. L have
since been informed that the ore OF
this vein averages $50 to the ton, at
total expense not exceeding So.
| believe it is safe to predict that
the Southern gold fields will before
long revolutionize the world. Anyone
who made a statement ten years ago
that the Southern States would hold
a prominent stand as iron producers
was fidicuIed. Look at the iron pro-
duction of the New South today.
Important as has this iron industry
become in comparatively few years, 1t
will compare to nothing when once
the gold fields OF Maryland, Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama will receive the proper
attention from experienced and prac-
tical men.

Bright Sayings on Account OF the
Thermometers Work.
The cold wave has been the cause of
number Of bright and original say
ings. We copy three below. The
first is from the Asheville Cti
zen, and from it we judge that the
native" had nothing more to say.
The others are from the Lenoir
Topic:
A native and visitor were talking
weather Saturday. "Why, this Is a
fine day overhead" said the native.
Yes" retorted the visitor; "but.
darn it, we can't walk that way"
This is terrible weathe-," !" remarked
gentleman the other day. "Yes, :"
replied another, this Is Populist
weather."
There is difference of opinion in
Lenoir as to what is the cause Of the
severe weather we have had for the
past month. Some say Hicks is re-
sponsible, others say the ground hog
is to blame, and still others say that
the Fusion Legislature is the cause.

chants ana Traders Union,

AT the meeting of the Merchants s.
Traders Union last week, while seY-
eral matters Of importapJe to the
members were discussed, the only
questions of general interest were in
regard to telephones, freight rates and
insurance.
The telephone committee reported
that deduction had been obtained
from the Bell Telephone Company to
$40 per year for business firms and $50
for residences, and as they expect to
obtain still lower rates either from
the Bell Telt phone Company or from
other companies with whom they are
negotiating, they would caution all
telephone subscribers against tying
their hands by entering into q con-
tract for year on the basis of the
present reduction.
The committee on freight rates re-
ported slight reduction In rates on
grain products from the West and
that negotiations are pending looking
toward decided reductions on all ar
ticles in car load lots.
The secretary and treasurer had
present copy of the charter and
prospectus of the Carolina Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, which a
syndicate OF the leading business men
of Charlotte is organizing In that
city, patterned in the main after the
SOuthern Mutual Insurance Company,

istence, has paid nearly four million
dollars OF losses, has saved its policy
holders three and half million dol.
lars, and has accumulated a surplus Of
about one million dollars, which Can
