TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SWERED.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor il you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bette
so that while our profits may be small
err on a single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quick
~ pass Judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take III
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims. but are GER
tain to return to the one remedy that
they know TO be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For

North Carolina. held in the Senate cham
Der on October g. 1898, we We're APP
pointed a committee to take into consid-
Grafton and to formulate some practi-
cal method of laying before the next
General Assembly the claims which the
surviving INDECENT Confederate Veterans
have upon the people of North Carroll
ma. and urgently TO seek at the next
session of the General Assembly Legis-
latiye relief.
The committee were charged with the
duty of considering both the question
of pension and Of an increased appro-
priation to the Soldiers Home. We have
felt that the responsibility of determining
upon a line of action is one which should
be shared by the representatives of Con
federate Veterans. from all parts of the
State. Our president. has therefore. as
he was empowered and directed to do,
called a general meeting of the Confcd-
crate Veterans of North Carolina to be
held in Raleigh on the 9th day of .Janu-
AIRY 1899, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the growing wants OF the
aged INDECENT surviving Confederate Vet
Grams and of the increasing number
which are vainly seeking admission to
the Home.
We shall recommend no eXtravagant
demands as we fully appreciate the pow
erty Of the State. and the numberless
demands upon her resources, but we
would be unjust to the merits of those.
would feel unworthy of the esteem of
those, who yet survive if We were not
to present their claims for the considera-
ton of their mother-North Carolina ut
whose call they so freely volunteered.
We therefore request that YOU shall
attend the meeting in person if you can;
if not, that you will present your views
through others or by written communica-
ton. The call is not to organized camps
alone. but TO every Confederate who is
interested in the welfare of his comrades.
The committee will at this session pre-
sent for the consideration of the body, its
views. not by way of forestalling action.
but merely that there may be some plan
which will be submitted for such amend
ment endorsement, or other action as the
assembly shall see fit TO take.

1t only needed the calling of the at.
tention of North Carolina to the wants
and needs of the Tar Heel veterans to
cause quick and hearty response. 1t is
no longer a question as TO the success
of the Bazaar since the kind and gener-
Gus offer of its use by Mr.. X. c. Rivers,

question is as to its "bigness."

pressure of absolute necessity. Man,
Of our comrades, formerly able TO work

Guided them from a pension, are now, b!
reason of age and infirmity unable t.
support themselves, and have parteC
gradually with their scanty property.
4 considerable number have alread,
been obliged to 90 to the County Home
or poor house, and there IS an increas
ing number of widows.
The manager of the Soldiers Home

measures of private benevolence. chiefi!

wives and daughters. have sustained tn,
burden. until the General Assembly car

The Home itself is in urgent need OF

of the veterans will grow rapidly for -four
or nFe years 10 come. as 0ld WOUNDS re

Some of the best and bravest have die

Hubbard Rros. 4 Co.,s Revie,r.

New York, May 26.-IIubbard Bros &
Co., in their review of the cotton, say
with the appearance of warmer. clear
weather over the cotton belt, accompanied
by showers where needed, except in sections
of Southern Alabama and Georgia in which
rain would be beneficial. the crop has i'm
proved. Locally the market has oeen under
the influence of the covering of the short
interest IN August and the execution of
many orders emanating apparently from
the same source, has alarmed those who
have been Influenced by the war ana crop
reports, into covering their short sales Eff
forts, however, to atlract speculation to
cotton have NOS yet proved successful, as
shown by the discounts on new crop de-
hVeries, as there is no scarcity of cotton
this year. In fact II is well known that the
splnners throughout the world hold The
largest stocks on record. Therefore some
reduction in the supply through a reduced
crop next season must occur to furnish
substantial basis for further advance.
he crop is not made yet and many con-
thGenctes may arise to reduce the yield
below the consumption, but uD to the
present time there is no indication that the
acreage has been reduced as in 1885, or that
the weather has been as bad as it was chat
season. Nevertheless the conditions Of
trade in America are better than IN thar
year, though The foreign markets have vet
to encounter the effect of high prccS
Lleadstuffs, which in other days initiated
uSainst cotton. The natural effect of a re-
duced supply will be felt in the new crop
deliveries, and in them viii we first notice
the appearance Of outside interest in the
market.
AT the present time the disposition IN
tie South Is TO sell these new crop deiv-
cries on the crop outlook, but every one
realizes that should we have bad
weather later on, the prospect of an ad~
vancing market would attract large
amount Of trading. Now, there is no gen
eral business; the market is narrow one

A Sad Death.

Tie people of the town were sor-
row stricken this morning on learning
that Miss Emily Marlett had died
Sunday at the residence of her sister
Mrs. James Holland, on North Fork.
The sad news came as sudden shock
as but few knew that she was not in
good health.
Miss Marlett arrived in Elko about
two years ago from Milwaukee and
shortly after her arrival secured the
position Of stenographer and type
writer for the E. T. M. Co. She
worked at the store continuously
until about ten days ago when che
was given a vacation and went to her
sisters ut North Fork. Though all
ing for some time none thought that
the grim messenger wurld 30 soon
claim her for his own.
She was taken worse yesterday
morning and messenger was sent to
Mr.. Weilsnd's and DR.. Drake of t. 8.
carora was telephoued for, but before
he could reach her bedside, her pure
spirit had left it's tenement of clay
and was at rest on the other side.
Miss Marlett was a genial lady and
her unassuming ways made her a
host of friends who are grief stricken
at her untimely death. Her remains
were brought to Elko last night and
will be held for advIces from her
Eastern home.
The INDEPENDENT extends it's sim
ccrcst sympathies to the relatives
whose hearts are crushed by tho sad
death Of their loved one. May they
| receive consolation from Him who
alone can heal the bruised heart.
