ARMS TO RED SHIRTS.
RICHMOND DEALERS SHIPPING
GUNS TO NORTH CAROLINA.
TaE TRADE VERY HEAVY RECENTLY.
Estimated Thrt 500 Firearms of All
Characters Have Been Sent Ont

mand.
niani.

Richmond is doing q big business n
| supplying arms and ammunition to North
| Carolina for possible use on election day
During the past week or ten days large
numbers OF Winchesters. shotguns, Ind
reyolvers. have been sent into the eastern
and central portions OF the State, and
there have also been phenomenally large
shipments Of ammunition.
Some OF the orders come In by letter.
The majority come by wire. The pur-
chasers seem In a hurry. Many OF the
orders are from individuals. indeed, the
majority are of this character. but In
several instances clubs have sent in good
sized orders. The dealers say that white
men have evidently written the majority
OF orders received, though some Of them
appear TO have been written by negroes.
OF course, II Is not always possible 10
tell whether the consignees are Demo-
Gratis or Republicans or white or black.
II is said that one well-knowi Rich
mond firm refused TO fiji a Negroes order
for large number of guns, as he was
suspected Of being the agent OF a Repupli-
can club.
me kpldl NUMBER OF IlltS anu SHpt-
guns sent into North Carolina from Rich
mond during the past ten days will pro-
badly reach 800, the number of revolvers
shipped Will bring the total number Up
nearly, II not quite, TO 800.
Stil, the demand Is not supplied. One
dealer states that he could send $50 rifles
into the State il he had them In stock,
but that he is not able TO fill the orders.
There have also been shipped large
quantities of ammunition.
SOME OF THE SHIPMENTS.
Cottrell, Watkins & Co.. say that during
the past ten days they have sent into the
eastern and central portions OF the State
the storm centre-between 200 and 800
rifles, shotguns, and revolvers. They have
also shipped large quantities of ammunl-
ton Of every character. This firm states
that It could sell probably $50 more rifles.
II so many were in stock. 1t has not been
able to fill all orders.
r. W. Tignors Sons have also made
very heavy shipments Of arms and am
munition to the Black Belt Of North
Carolina recently, and have received from
that section many letters Of inquiry re-
garding the prices of firearms and am
munitiOn. This firm expects to make
heavy shipments within the next day or
two
The Richmond Hardware Company has
made considerable shipments to North
Carolina consignees recently, and Bald
win & Brown have had their North Caro-
lima trade in firearms considerably in
creased.

THE BUYERS DETERMINED.

Many Of these purchases have been
made in person. and in every case the
men said they expected to have use for
their arms on Tuesday. The buyers weni
about the business of preparation for
trouble in the coolest manner imaginable
They said they thought there would be
use for guns on the day of election. They
wanted to be prepared.
The impression made upon the minds
of the dealers was that unless the ne
groes consent to white supremacy in The
Old North State there will be plenty OF
use for rifles next Tuesday.

she had collected them she found that
they numbered exactly nine. 'Now,"
said she, AZ can have nine handsome,
new BELTS"
Laying in four packages of dye for
which she paid five cents a package, she
proceeded to make her dye stuff. By
weakening the dye she could produce
light shades and dark shades, such as
light blue and dark blue; pink and red;
sage green and leaf green, lavender and
purple. One by one she dipped the belts
in the different dyes and hung them up
to dry. The next day she had the pref
test assortment of colored belts to be
found anywhere. Finally she attached
handsome clasps, some of which were
preserved from the summer, and she is
now prepared in the belt line for the
winter season.

MANIcURING AT HOME.
How 10 Keep the Hands and Finger
Nails I'm Perfect Condition
All the Time.

Get small bowl or finger glass and
dissolve therein small piece of pure
soap in some hot water. Then soak
the finger tips for five minutes, wipe
dry and then with a knife or an ivory
manicure implement gently loosen the
layer of skin around the root of the
nail so that it can be trimmed off
with cuticle scissors Especially curved
scissors for the nai) end press the skin
well back to distinctly show the half
moon or "onyx." This may not be
possible at once, when the nails have
been neglected. Stin, two or three
manicure treatments will show a
marked improvement. With the ivory
implement remove any dirt from un-
der the nails. Trim them oval shape
with cuticle scissors, rub down any
unevenness with prepared toilet emery
paper, then apply the nail powder with
a chamois polisher. Rinse the nails in
warm water, wipe well and rub the
nails again with polisher or with the
palm of the hand. and do this after
washing, which viii serve to keep them
polished for week. If ,1he nails are
brittle and dry. rub little vaselins
over them each night. Perfect cleann.
ness is the greatest adjunct to beauty
but, for all that, do not wash your
hands too often. Washed seldom but
thoroughly they Will keep In far nicer
condition than II they are continually

told you, darling?' inquired mamma
anxiously. I took something very nice
when it was handed to me the first
time. and then when the butler came
