piece of Democratic wrath in 1892
amounting to about LOO votes in this

more of that wrath.
With the above figures, and the con-

stands for good, honest government
and the only white mans party.

heel State.
Baltimore American, Aug. 25.
Ex-Mayor w. E. Fountain, of Tar
boro, N. c., and President of the
Board of Trade of that city, was al
visitor in Baltimore yesterday. Mr..
Fountain is.one of Tarboro's mostsub-
stantial business men, and has been
largely and actively identified with
the many commercial industries that
have done so much to develop his
city. Through his Influences large
amount of Baltimore capital has
been invested in Tarboro enterprises,
and his present trip was made for
the purpose Of extending other Bal
timore interests in the direction of
his southern home. MIR. Fountain
is an enthusiast over Baltimore's
natural position as . distributing
point for the South, and predicts
that, with q little more enterprise on
the part of our local manufactures
and merchants, our industries here
will soon wipe away all opposition
that is now encountered in our
Southern trade.
Speaking of trade conditions be-
tween Baltimore and various points
;, in North Carolina, Mr.. Fountain said
yesterday. "Tarboro has developed
into one of the greatest commercial
centers of the eastern part of our
State, and We naturally look to Bal
timore for much Of our trade sup
plies. Our own manufacturers are
of considerable importance, and,
with the impetus given our CONNER
cial standing by the influence from
Baltimore, we have fast become an
outlet for the volume of trade that
is sent South from the Monumental
City. Philadelphia and New Yor1
cannot compete with Baltimore il
supplying our wants, on account o.
your cheap traffic facilities, and tn,
little opposition that is set up b,
Norfolk could soon be eradicated i
Baltimore merchants would show ,
bit more enterprise in extending
their lines. Affairs in North Caro-
lima are in . most prosperous condi
8 ton, and already a number Of on
t leading merchants are in your city
placing large orders for the fal
] trade. Baltimore and North Carolin
!, are fast being linked together by
: bond of commercial prosperity"
o Mr.. Fountain is one of the moi
prominent bankers in Tarboro. an
is also the county treasurer. He

EDITOR CAUcAsIAS;-Piea allow
me little space in your paper to make
short statement in regard TO the con-
ditiOn of affairs in Brunswick county
under Democratic rule and under Pop
ulist rule. In 1896, when the Populists
took charge Of county Affairs we found
that the county WAS about 5000 in
debt, no money on hand to pay any
thing, county scrip selling for seventy
cents on the dollar, 20 per cent. below
par. Jurors could not get their claims
cashed. Court claims went unpaid.
jury than white PopuIists. For one or
two courts after the election in 1872
there was not Popuiist drawn. This
10 short sketch under Democratic
rule. Now, lets see the conditions with
the POpulists in power for only two
years. County over $4,000 better off
to-day Money on hand to pay county
claims. County scrip bringing par.
There has not been court but what
every court claim that was ISSUED and
presented was paid. The jurors are
drawn regardless Of political affiiia-
tions.
How was such q change brought
about? Well, the answer is simply
this: "G0od business management"
My books show the following expen-
dituFes on account of the County
Home for two years under Democratic
management and two years under Pop
ulist management. Then the people
can see the reason for such change
in matters.

TIT. OLIVE LETTER
A Condensed ChroniC1ing of the
Events that Transpire in
That Town and
Section.

Mr.. Walter Best has two opos-
sums that he has had penned up
since the summer. They will now
weigh over twenty pounds. We
don't know whether Walter
gives them an occasional treat to
Old Nick" or "Owl's Nest" or
not. but if he has it seems to
have agreed with them.
The town commissioners have
offered a reward of three hundred
dollars for evidence sufficient to
convict the part or parties of the
recent fires that SO completely de-
! stroyed the business portion of Mt.
Olive. 1t is to be hoped that some
one will soon reap this reward that
this fend incarnate may speedily
get his just deserts.
Mt. Olive is soon to have a
newspaper, MI. Arthur Whitley,
of the Jacksonville Times, will
soon Llove his entire outfit to Mt.
Olive, where he will offer to the
people a live newspaper. We hope
the people will respond with liber-
atty to its support, for nothing so
improves a town and community as
a live newspaper. We wish Nh
Whitley abundant success.
John II. Sparks big circus will
J be here Wednesday, October
18th. Mr.. Sparks always gave US
a good show and comes about as
near showing what he advertises
as any one can. He will be here
one day this time as he is now
travelling by rail and has six big
cars. He has one of the finest
trick elephants in the country,
also a cage of lions, &C.. and he
still has Sanco with him. No
doubt there will be a great crowd
here on this date.
In our feeble way we have con-
tinuously told the world through
the columns of the ARGUS the
great resources and possibilities OF
our hustling, energetic and thriv-
ing town, and we are c~onceited
enough to believe that in making
her resources known that the
ARGUS has been a great help in
bringing so many people here tc
make Mt. Olive their home, and
one of the particularly queer
things about once living in Mt
Olive is, that if they ever leave
they will come back.
