In presenting to the world review of
the resources and enterprises of Sanford
it is with more than ordinary pleasure
to record the business and character of
the above house which has been so long
in operation that an account of it has
become a part of the city's history. OF
such concern it is not necessary to
speak any words of praise, its fifteen
wears of existence speaks louder than
words of it's merits and success.
1t is incorporated with j. W. Scott,
president. and !. r. Makepeace, secretary
and treasurer. The plant is fitted up
with the most modern appliances, the
main building or shop being 60XlOO feet
There are eight buildings upon the
premises, and employment is given to
twenty five people. The very best timber
is used in the manufacture of the pro-
duets which find sale all
over North and South Carolina
and some parts of Virginia. As
to quality and finish of work the firm
completes with any to be found anywhere.
In the circulation of money it has given
much help to Sanford, and the writer
takes just pride in placing it foremost
among those manufacturing concerns
that are fast building up the State.

The firm Of Moffitt Bros. is noted for
the superior excellence of the work turn
ed out, and it has made for the house
a wide reputation-its work being It's
best advertisement. The products are
sold all over the country, as far north
as Chicago and as far south as Louis

deal to advertise Sanford, and it is just
such men as the Moffitt Bros. that
North Carolina is indebted Tor its mod

REPUBl lCAN MACHINE AGAINST The
AMENDMENT.

And now we are gravely Informed
that it is likely that the Republican
State Convention will take grounds
against the amendment. After this
startling biz of information vouch-safed
by the knowing ones of the Republican
fold, we may expect that in due time
some one will feel safe in asserting that
the Dutch have at length captured llol-
land.
OF course the Republican convention
will declare against the amendment
Who expected it TO do otherwise! How
could a convention FOUR-FIFTIlS of
whose constituents are ignorant negroes
be expected to favor the amendments
How many Of the white fellows from the
eastern counties, who usually attend
these Republican conventions could get
to be delegates if it were known they
would vote against what the negroes.
who elect them, desire? 1t rs well
known that in eastern North Carolina
no white man can be delegate to a
Republican convention unless he bends
the knee to the negro. The assertion,
therefore, that the Republican State
convention in North Carolina will OPP
pose the amendment amounts to little
more than statement that the mass of
the negro vote is opposed TO the amend
ment. There are -FOUR negroes to
every white man in the Republican
party, and hence whatever the negro ia
yors the party organization must favor,
and whatever he opposes it must oppose
or else ignore the rule of the majority.
