Our good friend Mr.. J. J.
Scott, who lives just beyond the
city, near Greenleaf, on the north
road, has the finest grape arbor
in eastern North Carolina, which
is the parent soil of the delicious
scuppernong. He has styled his
place "Grape~Vine Park" and
his grapes are now ripe and lus-
cious.
He does not sell his grapes by
the measure, but he admits Wis
itors at 40 cents a head" with
the privilege of eating all the
grapes they wish or car.

Fl COLORED ORGAN.
ROasts Mr.. Jockey and the Mem
bers of the Republican Exes
cutive Committee.

Wilmington Star.
The Daily Record, the negro
organ, came out from it's new
quarters, on Seventh, between
Church and Num- streets, yester
day afternoon. It claims now tina
it is a negro paper, edited in G
building owned by negroes.
The only article of interest is
one which takes all the point Out
of the resolutions adopted by the
Republican Executive Commit
tee, SO far, at least, as these went
to show that the sentiments OF
the negro editor we're not those
of the colored people generally.
The resolutions are printed in
full and there r angry refuta-
tions of the charges made.
The editor inquiries, if he was
a misunderstanding simpleton,'
how was it that he was sent to
Washington with Jockey not
long since on a mission that was
not essentially that of a simple
ton. He also wants to know
where Jockey got the authority
for saying that the Record would
suspend. Then he says some
sharp things about Jockeys
candidacy for judicial honors,
and says that his course in
assembling the committee and
debating the action to be taken
was from a ~hankering for Popu-
list votes, upon which he will
depend in his rae for the judges
The whole animus of the arti-
Gle in fact is directed against the
Republican candidate for judge.
And the impression that the
reader gains from it is that the
of the Republican execu-
tive committee is considered by
the Record as the biggest sort of
a farce, and in no way Indicative
Of the feeling of the majority of
the colored voters.

FALL BUSINESS OUTLOOK

With the present week the real
beginning of the fall business
season will have arrived, The
sumner vacation for the heads
of the great business houses Of
the country will be over, the en-
ervating heat of midsummer Will
De a thing of the past, ard in
vigorated by the summer rest
and inspired by the return of
peace and the removal of the last
element of doubt as to the effect
of the war upon business and
finances, the business men of the
country will confront the begin
ming OF the fall season under the
most.encouraging conditions that
have existed in a decade.
With SO many encouraging
features apparent, it may be a
little difficult to decide which
constitutes the most important
tnger-board pointing to future
business prosperity, but the
700, OOO, 900 bushel wheat crop,
with the old crop closely sold off,
will do to begin with. Add to
this the gold reserve 10 the
Treasury of $21O. 600, 900 and a
gold reserve in the. banks of
$165,0O0 900, against 1913. 900, 900
a year ago and only $47, 900, 900
two years ago, and it is apparent
that there is little cause for
dread.
With big crops, plenty of
money, a big trade balance in our
favor already, the return of
peace and the opening of new
fields for American capital and
American products, it would be
hard to conceive more hopeful
business conditions, and the
American business public is to
be congratulated upon the most
hopeful fall opening that has
heen known for years. That there
is dullness in exceptional lines of
trade, due to exceptional causes,
is as true now as in all past
periods of exceptional business
activity, but these r the excep-
tons that prove the rule of gen.
eral business activity. Sagacious
business men will readily discern
between the generally hopeful
conditions and the exceptions.
and not be misled in regard to
either.
The duty of the hour is that Of
entering upon the fall business
campaign with a confidence that
will beget additional confidence.
The war has greatly widened the
business field, which, if entered
upon, will open the way to still
wider fields. War and the ex.
p~erience of our most enterpris-
ing business men have combined
to break down the business wall
which we have persisted III build
ing around ourselves, and we are
permitted in consequence to take
a wider outlook. What we need
now is the courage and conf,
dence to invade the wider fields
thus disclosed to our view.

The Best Since Vance.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun.
Parties who attended the
speaking at Hays store yesters
day say that G. B. Aycock made
the best speech that has been
heard in North Carolina since
the days of the immortal Vance.
And all who know Mr.. Aycock
will take this statement as true
without question. Mr.. Aycock is
probably not as well known in
middle and Western North Caro-
lima as he should be, but in the
East where he spent his youth
and grew to manhood, and still
makes his home, there is no man
who has a warmer place in the
hearts OF the people.

WALTER LETTER.
A Condensed ChrOnicling Of
Weeks Happenings.

Mr. Jim Hines, from your city,
was visiting Mr.. Ben Sasser last
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. E. Smith
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Hast
ings Sunday last.
Mrs. Lizzie Gurley is in our
community visiting her parents
Col. and Mrs. Crawford.
Mrs. John Carroll and children,
from Durham, are visiting relao
tives in the neighborhood.
Our clever young friend, Mr.
Daily Hines, was visiting special
friends near G%oldsboro Sunday.
Next month has an r in it, and
the lucious bivalve will put in his
appearance to spend the winter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Cox, from
"South Slde'' were visiting Mrs,
and Mrs. Joshua Hines last Sun
day,
Mrs. A. H. Caldwell is visiting
Miss Mary and Gertrude Thomp-
son, and Mrs. Cochran near Ebeo
nezer.
Messrs. Matthew Woodland and
John Raper from your city, were
visiting near Ebenezer Sunday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua Hines
visited their daughter, Mrs. Lewis
Hastings, last Sunday. We are
glad to know Mrs. Hines health is
somewhat improved.
There were three clever young
men from your city in our section
last Sunday, but they slipped up
on the blind side of US, and we are
told came out on their wheels, but
they may have had a cross tie
ticket for aught we know:any way,
we promised not to tell on them.
Our farmers are badly put out
trying to save fodder and the
weather is not to blame for all of
it, though it has not been at all
favorable, but hands cannot be
gotten in many sections for love
or money. One days work will
board them a week and that is the
cause.
From what we can learn we do
not think the Populist Primary
last Saturday was altogether as
enthusiastic a meeting as was the
Democratic convention in Colds
boro. But it is best for the Dem
ocratic Party not to judge from
outward appearances of the
strength of the other two parties,
for hat is never known until cleo
ton day.
A man cannot judge a mule by
anything he sees, not even his pc
digree but if be wants to feel his
strength, he must approach him
posteriorly, or run up on him in
the dark. If we had to preach
ones funeral, we would stand at
his head.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. Tt is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
