RIGHT WILL WIN

We have fully illustrated the truth of the above business
maxim. From a small beginning six years ago, we have built
up q large trade until our mammoth store is now recognized as
one of the largest and most attractive in upper Carolina.
While we duly appreciate the liberal patronage bestowed
upon us by our friends in the past, we are still anxious that our
business should grow and assume greater proportions. With this
object in view, we will, on January 1t, 1897, associate with us
as partners in our business, Messrs. NJ. L. Roper and S. P. Babb.
Of course, this change will necessitate the taking of a complete
and rigid inventory of our immense stock, and in order to reduce
the same to a minimum within the remaining twenty-five days,
we are determined to inaugurate a cutrate sale all along the line.
We will offer big drives on some some special lots of Shoes
and Clothing during this twenty-five days, that will completely
knock out all competition. During this sale we will not con-
toners.

The latest news from the north
is to the effect that on the Goth inst.
articles Of Incorporation OF the
Southern California and Salt Lake

county clerk at Los Angeles and
that work will soon be commenced.
The capital of the company is
placed at seven millions of Dollars

means business and the whistle of
the locomotive will soon be heard;
no discount on the matter this
time. The Dixie people have
heard this SO often during the past
few years, that it has grown fami-
liar and they are disposed "to be-
lieve when they see."
We have never harbored doubt
but that a railroad will be built
from Salt Lake City to the coast,
it is but a question of time; but
how long time is the problem
that most interests us, perhaps q
correct solution is that whenever
capitalists see that the agricultural,
mining and other interests are so
developed as to insure a paying
investment; it has been asserted,
that such condition exist now, and
that the financial stringency which
has existed during the past few
years have been the cause of delay
in commencing operation-if this
be the case and such condisition
have to some extent felt the relief
which comes with brighter times

A sad gloo wasm cast over our
little town last Thursday 10th, by
the sudden death of James Lee,
son of j. N. and Melissa Lee, aged
16 years. He returned home from
Glover Valley with his father
Thursday morning. Bro. Lee went
into the house while "Jimy'' went
to feed the horses. Shortly after
this one of the children discovered
Linn near the haystack dead. It is
supposed that he fell from the
stack onto a pitchforck, as there
was small wound on the breast
such as a pitchfork would make.
"Jimy" was cheerful, good boy
Of good habits; and his loss is
keenly felt by all. Funeral SER
vices were held in the school house
on the afternoon of the 18th.
This is the third grown child

about six years. May God give
them strength to bear their trials.

Some Of the Canadians have
boosted they could with the Eng
lish regulars take Plattsburg OF
Lake Champlain. That was tried
once and we have been over the
ground where the retreat was made
when certain class of men found
they had got "too far from Canada.
That was not a great success
when the English feet tried pray
ing and fighting Commodore Mac
donough who fell with his men on
the deck of his flagship and asked
Jehovah for help and then arose
and in two hours caused the Eng
fish to surrender. That is one side
of the Plattsburg business. Not
far across that country is the place
where the glorious Stark declared
to his men: "There are the red-coats

Motley Stark sleeps widow to-
night" The name of this hero's
wife was Mollie, and he was o con-
queror and "Molley" was not
a widow. 1t was not SO very far
from Plattsburg that Burgoine
murdered six thousand men to
Gates showing British skill against
American volunteers.
1t is not a matter to forget the
stubbornly contested field of
Lundys Lane where the sound of
battle drowned the roar Of Mag

the Englishmen who fought at
Lundys Lane, were not Canadian
militia but veteran troops who had
served under Wellington in the
wars with Napoleon" 1t was our
own Perry who with Hardy carry

on Lake Erie and sent the message:
eve have met the enemy and they
are ours" 1t was at New Orleans
where Gen. Pakenham 80 gallantly
tried the Americans and where
Englishmen trained in the Eu-
ropean wars found out about Amer

there were brave men opposed to
them. There are some ways Eng

Hon. william Jennings Bryan.
Dear Sir: In 1892 you anne to us
with the story hat we farmers were
being unjustly treated; that we were
compelled to pay money out of our
pockets without return or benefit-in
fact, that we were being robbed. You
said the tariff was a tax and, through
it. We were made to suffer. We did MOI
imagine such a thing before your dis
covery, and ae;frst were much surpris-
ed to learn it. We>did not know we
were taxed; how much we paid: who
we paid it to; where we paid it,. or when
We paid it. You, however, insisted it
was true, and that to that cause were
due the unsatisfactory pr.ces OF our
crops and products about which we
were complaining. You were so sure
about it that o guaranteed, If your
party were given the Offices and con-
price Of our wheat and other products,
and would lower the cost OF such things
as we had to buy. We gave you what
you asked for; you began work and
took steps to carry out the agreement.
Let us see the effect and for what you
are responsible.
PROMISES AND RESULTS.
You promised us a dollar lin some
sections a dollar and a quarter a BUSH
Ell and an increased demand for our
wheat; I find the average price at the
farm for the whole country not only
has not since advanced toward or
reached that figure, but has gone stead
lily down from 62k cents in 1892 to 81
cents in 1895, and the amount consum-
ed by the people from six bushels in
1892 to four and one-half bushels each
in 1895. You promised us 60 and TO-
cent corn at the farm but, instead of
that and the SO cents average we were
getting in '92, we got 26h cents in '95,
with a reduction in consumption from
80 1-3 bushels to II bushels each person
between those years. You promised us
higher prices for rye. but you dropped
1t from a n average OF IS to A cents;
also for barley, but you sen it from
Al to "a cents; also for oats, but you
drove them from 80 to 20 cents; also
for potatoes, but You reduced them
from 81 to 81 cents; also for buckwheat,
but you lowered it from 81 to As cents;
also for wool, but you sent it down
from II to 9 cents, and in the same
way you have knocked down hog meat
from $4.15 to 1910 per hundred pounds;
also mutton 80 cents a hundred, and
beef one and one-third cents a pound;
and onions $1.15 a barrel; and butter
six cents a pound; and eggs two and
one-half cents a dozen: and beans 62h
cents a bushel; also rice. cotton and to-
bacco and a cent a pound each; and
vegetables in a like degree. Besides
this, with the same promises, you have
dropped the value of our sheep. an av-
erage for the country, from S2.5S to
$1.58 each; our hogs, from s4.6O to s4.35;
our. horses. from $65 to 1888; and our
mules, from SIS to s45.
THE FARMERS LOSSES.
Altogether. instead of the higher
prices and prosperity that you prom
ised, you have given us lower ones and
