Autumn attractions The
beauty of the ripened year
gathers in field and forest.
Who does not enjoy the picture
under the stimulus of these
bright October days? And
Nature sets most of the copies
for textile workers. The warm
tints of the Autumn are re
fected on every side.
The wealth of the textile
world is. most easily studied
here. We did not stop with
the equaling of past seasons.
That was but the starting
point. Under such impetus
stocks grew a million of dollars
beyond last years limit, and
the zenith of readiness is now
reached. Who does not know
the fashion world at its best
lives too far from Wanna
makers.

A Reply to A. P.
PORT DEPOSIT, Oct. %, 1896
EDITOR WING:

EDITOR WING:
Thoroughly enjoyed A. P.'s highly intel-
esting though vanished account in last
weeks democrat" of the Republican meet
ing at Cokesbury.
He says, "Having missed the train for
Perryville few evenings since, and having
some business with q gentleman living on the
road, l concluded to take the country road
home. After transacting the business l had
contemplated, and passing on, came in sight
OF the old historic church known as Cokes-
bury"
Our friend would have US believe that
Cokesbury is on the road from Port Deposit
to Perryville. But we know that the Cokes
bury road branches at right angles to the
Perryville road. Now there is but one white
gentleman on said road between the Perry
vile road and Cokesbury, and as he lives in
such place that to go home by the way of
Cokesbury would be to make him walk n
much greater distance. Judging from his
article, he could not have been the man he
wanted to see.
Can it be possible that our Democratic
friend and politician would walk to Cokes-
bury to see colored gentleman on business
And what could be the nature of that
business?
Political was it?
Ifso, what kind OF arguments did he use
Substantial ones?
l cannot answer these questions, but
must leave them to the conjecture of the
reader.
Still it surpasses belief that Democrat.
and particularly politician, would, during
this campaign of Islander and vituperaton
against an innocent race, walk two miles out
OF his way to see a cOlored man, even though
it may be under the cover of darkness.
But passing on without noticing his de-
scription of the speakers bodyguard notice
that he takes the high moral ground that il is
wrong to hold a political meeting in a church
He next says, "that the proceedings were
opened mot by prayer but by the selection
OF Thomas c. Bond, Esq, as chairman. and
then breaks out in the following sorrowful
wall. Glow could you do it, Mr. Bond =? How
could you sit within IL few feet of the sacred
desk, and within the sacred influence that
conservation gives to the temple of God. nd
dress u motley gang of whites and blacks in
the interest of modern politics 2" etc.
Well, my friend. Mr.. Bond did not act as
chairman, nor did he address the meeting.
as you state.
Omitting his reference to all the speakers
but the last, will simply sum up what he
said of him and also OF the closing of the
meeting.
He says of the Rev. George Bodys address.
that he, forgetting that it was political
meeting, called on one of the brethren to
pray which was entered into with such spirit
aad power that soon the whole bouse was in n
blaze OF negro enthusiasm. Joy and gladness
seemed to light up their features, and men
and women were indiscriminateiy hugging
and embracing.
The writer heard all of the Rev. George
BodN's address but did not hear him call
on 'on" of the brethren to pray nor was
there prayer offered. neither any hugging or
embracing.
What character is our friend A p?
