Is too well known to require any
waste Of words about fine goods, pure
drugs or competent attendants. For
more than twenty-five years COMPETE
tors have helped to advertise us by
harping about high prices while our
customers, approaching our efforts in
their behalf, have steadily increased
and have always received good value
for their money. Yielding to the wishes
of friends in the profession who did not
care to dispense their own remedies we
some years since opened our Prescrip
ton Department, which. with our gem
eral drug business has rapidly increased
until we have again been compelled to
enlarge our laboratory and increase our
facilities fsr manufacture. Our stock
of medicine is large and constantly
moving which insures the dispensing of
only fresh drugs-and the wholesale ma
ture of our trade among physicians is
such that we have many preparations
not found in the city. All new remedies
endorsed by the profession are found on
our shelves when called for.

THE LITTLE PATCHED TROUSERS
BY HON. L. u. VANCE.

How dear to my heart are the pants of my
childhood
When fond recollection presents them to
view,
The pants that wore in the deep tangled
wild wood,
And likewise the groves where the crab
apple grew.
The wide-spreading seat with its little
square patches,
The pockets that bulged with my lunch
con for noon,
And also with marbles and fish-worms and
matches
And gum drops and kite strings from
March until June,
The little patched trousers, the made over
trousers,
The hich-water trousers that fit me too
soon.
No pantaloons ever performed greater ser
vice
In filling the hearts of us youngsters
with joys;
They made the descent from Adolphus to
Jervis,
Right down through a family of ten lit
tie boys.
Through no fault of mine, known to me or
to others,
l am the tenderest branch on our big
family tree,
And having done service for nine older
brothers,
They came down to me slightly bagged
at the knee,
The little patched trousers, the second
hand trousers,
The old family trousers that bagged at
the knee.

A Travesty Upon Justice.
Wilson Advance

Some months ago man was killed
by an agent of the Petersburg Rail
road, at Garysburg, n. G. The agent
was put on trial for his life, when tes-
timony was introduced which proved
to the satisfaction Of the jury that the
act was one of pure self-defense and
the agent was set free. During the
course of the trial it came out that the
two men were brothers-inlaw and that
previous to the killing there had been
a ieud between them. 1t was further
established that in the said feud the
father of the man who was killed took
the part of his son-inlaw against his
own SON. These facts are mentioned
to fix the fact that the killing resulted
from a quarrel entirely apart from any
duties connected with the railroad.
After the acquital of the agent the
family of the dead man entered suit
against the Railroad for $4,000 dam
ages, getting a verdict of $4,000.
That corporations should suffer at the
hands of a jury has become by-word,
but that any jury should SO far stretch
their conscience as to hold a corpora
ton liable for life taken by an en-
ployee acting, not in his official capac-
ity, but strictly as an individual, is
carrying matters little too far. To
make the outrage more pronounced
the Supreme Court Con appeaD has af
frmed the lower courts finding.
What does this mean? Nothing
more than this: If John Jones hires
clerk and said clerk meets an old
enemy, engages in fight and kills
said enemy, then although the clerk
may prove that he is innocent Of the
infringement of law, yet, Jones the
employer may be held accountable in
damages for the guiltless action of his
clerk.
Is it any wonder that the people
should cease to reverence the So called
''courts of JUSTICE when twelve men
may be found who can SO far forget
their oaths to ado exact justice between
man and man. as to allow prejudice
to warp their judgment SO far that
black becomes white.

We are Able to Control.

The New York World makes this
statement:
"Recent statistics show that the
total thanking power, as it is called,
of the world is l4,ooo, ooo,o 900, or
$4,000, 900, 900.
"Of this North America, mainly
this country, controls kI,2oo, 900,
while all Europe, including Great
Britain, France, Germany, Belgium
Netherlands, all the great capitalist
nations, control but 1880, 900, 900.
"In other words, this country holds
about half as much of the world
banking power as all Europe COM
bined, and greatly more than any single
country in Europe or the world"
Then, why in the name of common
sense should we pursue a timld policy
and act as though we were pauper
nation dependent upon the financial
whims of other countries?
1t is easy to see when we ponder
over these statistics that we are able to
contro, the financial policy Of the civ
ilized world if we 60 ahead with the
determination to win. Every day
the reasons multiply for the indepen-
dent action of this country in the mat
ter of restoring the free coinage of

The New South.
[Richard Smith in Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.

[Richard Smith in Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
We have often said that the new
South is bound TO be the most prosper
Gus section of this great country.
Prosperity is not the outgrowth of
mere sentiment. 1t requires as a
foundation to build upon natural and
varied resources. These the Southern
States possess. They have advantages
on the field, in the forests, in the mines
and the climate that no other section
if this country is capable ofexhibiting.
Now all that remains is for population,
enterprise and capital to go in and
possess this new land, full as it is of
promise and overruning as it is with
natural resources.
The new South Of which we speak is
to Cincinnati the land of promise.
There may be no doubling Thomases
among US, but these will be converted,
and the future generations of mer-
chants, manufacturers, agriculturists
and capitalists who may hereafter read
these lines may be only surprise that
the foresight CT the writer was not
equal to the hil dsight of those who
are to be active participants in future
developments.

Shipbuiiding i'm the South.
WASHINGTON Star.

The award of the construction Of
two battleships to the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany is noteworthy as indicating the
remarkable progress the South has
made in the industrial arts in the COM
paratively short period since the war.
While it is true that the great ship
yards at Newport News are the work
of railway corporation which was not
Of Southern origin, yet its connections
and affiliations at the present time are
distinctly Southern and it constitutes
one of the most notable industries Of
the old Dominion.
Of course, there are other shipyards
in the Southern States Of more or less
importance, but only one, at Algiers,
La, with facilities adequate to the
construction of modern battle ships.
The present achievement of the New
port News company was hardly counted
among the possibilities by its mana
gers when the plant was established.
1t was called into existence, in fact by
the acceptance of bid for a CONNER
cial steamship, and SO the acceptance
of its Did for the two battleships may
be but the signal for further develop
ment which will place it in the very
front of the great shipbullding estab-
lishments of the country.
There is little doubt but that the
success of the Virginia company will
stimulate this sort of enterprise in the
South, which it is specially favored by
nature in this respect by reason of a
mild climate that makes it possible to
work nearly all the year around.
Wilmington, Beaufort, Port Royal,
Pensacola, Mobile, Galveston and
other points not yet as we'll known as
these cities, contain the possibilities of
great establishments like that at New
port News. They may not all get
ship-yards where big men-of-war can
be constructed, but they may foster es-
Establishments where small cruisers, gun
boats and torpedo boats can be built
and the merchant marine enlarged.
The Southern people are quick to
take advantage of opportunities when
these are presented to them. Here is
one that they are not likely to permit
90 by.
