loses it? You can't say you never
lose any accounts. You simply
have to charge more for your goods

Now, customer, listen to the tale
of woe. The only merchan: that's
prospecting today is the one that
pays cash for his goods. Cash dis.

HON. w. R. ALLEN
Elected Chairman of the Democratic
County Executive Committee

| Elected Chairman of the Democratic
| County Executive Committee.
At a meeting of the Democratic
County Executive Committee held
in this city Saturday, the primaries
were called for the 10Th of Sep
tember, and the county convention
was ordered called for the 26th OF
September.
At this meeting Chairman
O'Berry rendered his resig-
nation, the acceptance of which
was at fsrt refused, but Mr..
lO'Berry was so firm in his de-
termination to resign and cited as
his only reason for taking this step
his inability to devote the proper
attention to the important position
ny reason of the demands that were
made upon his time as president of
the Goldsboro Lumber Company,
the committee finally decided
to accept the nomination with ex-
pressions of regret by every MEM
ber at losing such wise counsel
lor.
The news of Mr.. O'Berry's res
ignation will no doubt be received
with regret by his many friends
and admirers and the excellent SER
vice rendered by him to the party
in the last campaign will not soon
be forgotten. He was reelected
about two months ago, contrary to
his wishes, but it was only recently
that he found it necessary to re-
sign on account of the urgent need
of his presence at his business.
In casting about for leader for
the Democratic hosts of Wayne
the name of Hon. W. R. Allen was
mentioned and his election was at
once made without a dissenting
voice. 1t is needless to say that
Judge Allen is eminently qualified
for the position. His Democ-
racy and patriotic sentiments are
unquestioned, Almost every one
is familiar with his past record
in the ranks of the Democratic
party. His able opinions have
been eagerly sought after by
political leaders and his individ~
uality and force of character
draw to him all with whom he
comes in contact. Whether>. on
the hustings expounding the
political issues of the day to the
masses, in the hall of the State
Legislature as chairman of the
judiciary Committee or clothed
in the ermine of the district ldge
his deliberations have always
been marked by wisdom and
sound judgment.
With such man to direct the
movements of the Democratic
hosts in Wayne County, the low
ers of honest government and
white supremacy need have no
fears. We shall win victory III
Wayne County without fail this
wear,

There are two gentlemen whom
we would like to see in Charlotte

These gentlemen are Messrs. VIM.

Neither of them is as much of
jay as great many people
think Bryan's acceptance speech
has fixed his status as man of
ability in the minds of all those
who are fair minded and capa
BILE of grasping it. The trouble is
that many others have not read
this speech and could not under
stand it if they did. A look at
the man would give them bet

will ever get otherwise. AS for Ii

who sees it.
The reception of the people at
Upper Red Hook to Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan on the night of their ar
rival was really delightful About
one thousand people were in the
village square and not a police>
man among them. The only
strained feature OF the affair was
the effort of Judge Ellseffer to
go down IN local history as the
man who welcomed Bryan The
':Jedgeo read pompously a
long scroll of welcome.
The res traint was instantly re-
moved when Mr.. Bryan began to
speak. Unembarrassed by man
uscrlpt, he talked in a plain,
.asy manner, as though address
Ing his own neighbors.
He writes hundreds OF ato-
graphs each day on cards, which
are sent to correspondents from
all sections Of the country. The
village small boy who wants a
Bryan button from Mr.. Bryau's
own hand goes to him and gets
it. With the button goes a CHEEKY
smile. The inevitable snap >shor
man is amazed at his welcome.
The mere suggestion that he
wants d picture Is quite sufficient.
Mr.. Bryan is always ready to
pose for it.
On Tuesday he was the picture
of geniality and fun at a fishing
party on Twin Lakes. He was
not hunting for votes. It was a
pleasure trip pure and simple.
Mr.. Bryan was determined to
catch q fish, but luck was against
him, ana he did not even get a
bite. Mrs Bryan caught the
only fish of the day. but her hus~
bands delight was as great as
her own. The party was driven
to camp by a sharp thunder
shower.
During the storm he lay on a
mattress in a tent covered by a
blanket, placed over him by his
eversthougbtful wife There he
fell into running stream of
stories, repartee and anecdotes
of personal experiences and Me-
hraska politics.

Bob Fitzsimmon's Home.

New York, Aug. 22.-Robert
Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, arrived
here from Europe to-day. He has
not changed his opinion of Cor
bett, who, he says, is s'difty." :"
Fitz also says he is willing to
wager any amount of money that
he could stop Sharkey in four
rounds. The pugilist arrived here
this morning On the steamship
Paris, of the American Line,
which reached her pier shortly af-
fer s O'Clock. The fighter looked
in the best of condition and said
his health was excellent. No man
on Loard the steamer was more
fashionably dressad than Corbett' S
rival. He wore a black Prince
.lbert coat, black vest, light col
red trousers and black silk hat.
He carried heavy black. cane and
a big diamond sparkled ina white
silk necktie. His shoes were of
patent leather. At first the fa-
nous pugilist was inclined not to
be talkative, but he could not re-
strain himself when the name of
Corbett was first mentioned.
The first question put to Fitz
was whether or not he was ready
for a fight.
Il will fight any man in the
world" he said, barring those
fighters whom [ have already
met"
How about Corbett?' he was
asked.
Let him go and get reputa~
ton. I nave told him that be-
fore. I am champion.now and will
dictate terms just as he told me
once to get reputation.
When told that Corbett was in
the city the champion did not
appear at least interested.
You will not avoid meet-
ing with him?" l inquired.
"Most certainly not. | haye
not the tear of any such meeting
can whip him easily. In fact.
pity hlm. He is 'dafty.' Til
drive him crazy if I meet him. -
Fitzsimmons kept up his con-
versation while experimenting
the gathering up of the many
articles of baggage. He said he
had no definate arrangements
yet made for the future, and
could not tell what he would do
until the arrival of Martini ulian,
his manager, who is expected to
be over on the next steamer. He
says he would stop at the Hotel
Bartholdi until Julian's arrival.
Mrs. Fitzsimmo and the
baby came over with her hus-
band. Mrs. Fitzsimmons will
probably go at once to some
summer resort. When asked as
to the opinion of Sharkey, Fitz
said: Il don't think much of
him from what 1 have read. I
will bet any amount of money
that I will stop him in four
rounds. He may be a strong fel :
low and that's all" Fitzsimmons
gave a scientific exhibition at a
concert on the steamer on
Thursday evening. He said he
punched the bag, and that the
ladies on board seemed TO like
the exhibition very much.

| HOKE SMITH HAS RESIGNED
SECRETARY OF THE INTER.
IOR SENDS IN HIS
RESIGNATION.

Mr. Cleveland has Accepted It I he
Georgian, WHO'S for Bryan and
the Organized Democracy, to leave
the Cabinet.
Washington, Aug. 22.-For
some time rumors have appeared
in print on the probability of the
early resignation of Secretary
Hoke Smith. There is no doubt
that he has resigned and the rumor
is that his resignation has been
accepted. Fer some days past
shipments have been made to At
lanta of his books and papers, and
it is learned that he has declined to
set any departmental business to
be heard by him for date later
than this month. 1t can finally
be assured that his successor will
be in charge in short while.
After the nomination of Bryan
and Sewall, Secretary Smith was
the only member of the cabinet
who announced purpose to sup
port the ticket. This action, on
his part, while.not in any way af-
fecting the personal relations be-
tween himself and the other MEM
bers of the cabinet led him to offer
his resignation.
The secretary declines to dis
cuss the subject in any way.
Ever since the rumor of the
probable resignation CT Scores
tary Smith there has been more
or less gossip concerning his
successor, and at the interior de-
partment the name of John M.
Reynolds, the second assistant
secretary of the treasury departs
ment, has been mentioned freely
for the place.
Mr.. Reynolds has made an ex-
cellent executive officer. He
has had charge of the difficult
work of review Of the pension
decision of the pension bureau
and has given general sa.isfac
ton. He is a native of E'enn~
sylvania.
The new cabinet officer will
have only little more than six
months to serve. and it is regard
ed as probably that MIR. Cleve-
land would prefer to fill the va
cancy from the department rather
than by appointing some one who
would be new to the work which
involves acquaintance with La
great variety of matters affecting
directly the public welfare.
The lessee OF Secretary Smiths
residence on West Peachtree St.
has been notified TO give up the
property by Septe mberz 20, as
the secretary wishes to make
some repairs on the building and
also desires place in which to
sore his effects which are now
in Washington.
It was stated that Mr.. Smith
was on the point Of breaking up
housekeeping In Washington.
