NO MORE TRADING STAMPS.
So Says Messrs. Meyer, the Brood-
Street DrN-Gnndn Merchants.

When called upon to give his experi-
ence with Trading Stamps. Mr.. Meyer,
of Julius Meyers Sons. was OF the opin-
ion that tho public would surely see the
folly of collecting stamps, Tor says he,
'if the merchant has to pay the Trading
Stamp Company percentage or mis-
sales, Is II not likely that the merchant
will raise his price TO overcome the price
he pays for the stampsY'
I'VE would have stopped giving
Trading Stamps because OF tho public
view that merchant, when raising
prices, causes TO pay more for their
goods both those who are and are not
collecting stamps but our sole reason
for giving up the stamps was that II was
impossible for us 10 continue To sell at
our low percentage of profit and give
stamps. and we think our patrons would
prefer buying at our low prices, as the
presents they receive would not cost
near so much as the raise I'm prices
would cost them by the time they would
have 10 buy S99 worth OF goods, which y
the amount they must have before their
trading stamps would give them pres
ent.

to reconcile the differences in the Demo-
cratic party in Dinwiddie county as
represented in the two nominations for

day and several conferences have been
held with that end i'm view. There are
hopeful signs of the success of the
movement The people of the county are
anxious that the party there shall be
united in the fight. especially in view
of the fact that the Republicans, after
lately deciding not to make a nomina-
tion. have suddenly determined TO put
candidate in the field This determine
tion was arrived at late on Saturday
night. after the Democratic convention
had split and made two nominations.
If is said the Republican convention was
called for tonight, and that Mr.. j. n.
Beck would be nominated. 1t is pro-
bable that Messrs. Smith and Clarke, the
opposing Democratic candidates, may
withdraw and a third man, satisfactory
10 all parties, be substituted.
