Do You Ever Think

What an amount of money we have
saved you in the price of Dry Goods by
the sweeping reductions we have made?
We believe you have perfect right to
expect goods as cheap as they can posi-
bly, be sold, and by taking this lead
our neighbors as natural consequence
must, after hearing our prices make re-
ducuons on their goods. DO you also
appreciate the fact that these reductions
we made by Others not from choice. but
because force of circumstances COM
PEELED them to, and that we still hold
the lead we originally established.
Our money saving system of merchan-
dizing combined with the fact that we
are associated with the largest Dry
Goods Syndicate on earth, enables us to
undersell all our competitors. The fact
has been especially apparent during the
last few weeks, and has been conclusive
ly proved by the crowds who daily
throng our stores making them far and
away the busiest market IN the city.
Visit our stores, compare our values
with Others-buy your goods where you
can get the best value for your money,
and we will certainly secure your
trade.

DGLaVal Separator
TESTIMONIALS.

The DeLaval "Baby" Cream Separa-
tor testimonial letters have Outgrown the
possibilities of catalogue and newspaper
printing. The number on file is nearly
$4,000, and it would take the average
reader year to read them.
These letters of practical experience.
however, are very interesting and in
structive, since they are Illustrative of
what has been the actual experience of
every user of baby" Separator, and
what must be the experience of every new
user having use for such a machine.
They form the most practical sort of an
education in the general and indisputable
advantages of centrifugal separation.
Therefore, a number of the very newest
of these letters. selected as coming from
representative and widely known dairy
men in different sections, and as covering
all the different branches of dairying and
varying conditions under which separa
tors are used, have been printed in sep
arate pamphlet termed "BABY" TEsTI

TO CORRECT ABUSES.

The District Attorney to Investigate
Commissioners Marshal Gone East
in Pursuance of his Public Pledge to
Remove Abuses.
Hon. Chas. b. Aycock, U. s. District
Attorney, spent Sunday in Raleigh en-
route to Durham to make an inycstl-
CATION of the charges that U. S. Com
missioners had been guilty Of push
ing things lively" for fees. He spent
yesterday in that town and will be IN
Raleigh this morning. The public
NAV rely upon it that wherever Com
missioners have been acting corruptly,
either on their own hook or in concert
with any OF Marshal Carroll's sorry
deputies, Mr.. Aycock will recommend
and urge their removal from the posi-
tions they have prostituted. II re-
sDonsible parties know Of fragrant yfo-
lations of duty, and viii report the
same to Mr.. Aycock, he will inresti-
gate, and if guilty recommend SUM
mary dismissal. There seems to be no
doubt that in some instances Commits
sioners have been in league with De-
putty Marshals in the push things
lively business that has brought
scandal on the service.
tuesday afternoon Marshal Carroll
went to Richmond and other counties
to see some of his deputies and to tell
them of the change that has beep in
augnrated, and to warn them that they
must execute the duties of their Of
fee with greater care and with less
hustle things lively, policy than has
actuated some of them in the past. He
has also declared it TO be his purpose
to issue a circular letter to his deputies
calling their attention to the. regula-
tions, and telling them that excessive
zeal and lively rush after fees viii no
longer be tolerated, and that if there
is not reform they viii lose their posi-
lions. he also publicly promised to
remove all deputies who haze been
guilty Of the wrongs which have out
ragged the public.
The people viii look to see these
much needed reforms inaugurated at
once, and the whole trend Of business
put into better channels, and the News
and Observer will keep them posted,
no matter at what cost or effort, as
to progress Of the reforms promised
by the Marshal.

mond, Va, arrived in the city Satur-
dav, and began a series of revival SER
vices with Pastor Simms and the Bap~
fist Tabernacle people, which Will con
tinue through the week.

day morning and night. I'm the morn
ing he spoke from Acts liz, showing
the preparation necessary If a great
blessing was obtained.

Tabernacle was filled to its utmost
capacity. The evangelist spoke from
Genesis SO, where art ThOu2 He
addressed himself first to the Chris
tian, second to Christian parents, third
to ungodly parents, and lastly to the
sinner. Much interest was manifested

prayers, and several coming forward
to the front seats.

Phil. 4:19, but my God shall supply
all your needs, through his riches i'm
Christ Jesus He said the only true
happiness in this life came 10 the Chris
tian; he is most happy who does most
for Christ, and has most Of Christ in
his heart; riches do not bring happi-
ness unless consecrated toGod; Heaven
is happiness, and Heaven may be found
here on earth. The speaker gave some
beautiful illustrations of this part of
his subject, God gives not what we
desire, but what we need. He knows
what is best We cannot always under
stand his dispensations, but we shall
understand them. There are three
things we do need: First, pardoning
love; second, the guidance Of the Holy
Spirit; third, sustaining grace. These
may be had for the asking. He closed
