NOTICE.

There are some smoothe
individuals whose "friend-
ship and kind feeling" for
their victims is so great as
to cause them to plot and to
plan how to catch suckers
without letting them know it.
THE SHARPER'S PLAN.
A customer comes into his
Store; he wants to buy &c Suit
of Clothes, he is shown
through the stock, he finGs
one that suits him, but the
price is higher than he wants
to pay for suit just then,
so the clerk or the proprietor
helps him out, by telling him
that it is a $1,000 Suit, but
because he is a friend and an
old customer and rather than
let him go somewhere else
and get his chothing they
will let him have the suit for
$40, 90 when in fact it is only
worth $500 in this way they
make him feel good and at
the same time stick him to
the amount Of $500 but he
don't know it and is pleased
with his big bargain. until
he finds his neighbor wear
ing a suit just like his for
which he only paid $500. He
threatens to get even the
next time by going back
and "jew harder" and invar-
iably he gets it in the neck
worse than before.

GENERAL WAGE REDUCTION
Under Contemplation by the New
England Cotton Mills.

Boston, Mass, August 30.-A state
ment was sent out from Clinton today
hat a general wage reduction in New
England cotton mills is contemplated.
The report could not be verified here.
A reduction in wages is under consid-
GRAFTON in Fall River. but as yet no
decision has been positively
ed, though ~treaSurers representing
LOCO, 600 spindles have agreed 10 a re-
duction plan. Should wages be reduc-
ed in hat city it is thought many
manufacturers elsewhere may take
up the wage question, but as far as
can be learned here no action has yet
been decided upon.
Considerable secrecy is maintained
at Fall River concerning the proposed
reduction because of fear Of objections
from some stockholders opposed to a
reduction at this time, and for fear
of the effect on trade.
Opponents of the plan claim that
while there is no demand for goods,
a reduction of wages canno solve the
market problem which confronts mill
men today. Curtailment of produc-
ton is the only means of relieving the
market and creating a demand.

Smoking Cigarettes


Man without brain would be a saw
age beast of the. most brutal and lowest
kind, because the brain is the seat of
our higher intellect. 1t is necessary
therefore not to do or take anything
that would injure the delicate tissues
of the brain. 1t has been proven that
one of the most harmful things for the
brain is the deadly cigarette" Gig
aretteS are composed largely of nico-
tine, a deadly poison, which, if taken
alone. would be fatal; as taken in the
form of cigarettes it tends gradually
TO be fatal, as it is repeated frequent
ly.
Other impurities are often used. Gov
ernor Roosevelt, who has visited the
cigarette manufactures, said hat if
n could see the way they are manu-
featured no boy would ever want to
smoke.
Boys have said to me that smoking
was not a sin. But since cigarettes Of
ten drive people insane, besides caus-
ing many diseases, such as lung trou-
BILE, heart disease, etc., it is certainly
wrong to smoke.
Boys often consider it manly to
smoke, but if they could begin to rea-
lie what a degrading, injurious and
unmanly habit it is, not one of them
would think it a very manly habit. It
would be better by far to live a long
and happy life than to die young and
miserable just because you We're a
slave to the cigarette. 1 once read that

Columbia, 5. c., August 30.-On the
returns from about $1,000 votes and
with four or five thousand to hear
from, Governor McSweeney leads in
the race for governor by about 5000
votes over Colonel James A. Hoyt, the
prohibition candidate. 1t is expected
that all returns from yesterdays pri-
mary will be in by tomorrow night.
Senator Tillman, with no opposition,
returns TO the United States senate.
He is running considerably behind his
ticket.
State Treasurer Zimmerman and j.
II. Jennings, an one-armed confeder-
ate, are running a neck n neck ace.
Jennings got majorities in most of the
counties, but Charleston gave Thinner
man a cad of 5000. The result will
probably not be known till the official
count.
Colonel James Tillman, a nephew Of
the senator, doubtless is the highest
man for lieutenant governor. There
were five running and the ote was
very much split up. Tillman and Colo
mel John T. Sloan, of Columbia, will
run over, with the chances in favor

Correspondence OF The Messenger,
Wilson. ". c Angus. 30.
Wilson suffered quite 2 little from an
electric strom yesterday afternoon. A
negro house was struck and totally de-
stroyed. There were several negroes
in the house at the time. but no one
was hurt Lightning also struck the
Western Union telegraph office, but did
no serious damage, the switchboard
was torn up a little and the fuses were
all burned out, but beyond this no DAM
age was done.
Last night the lumber yard and ma
chine shops of Paschal, Davis & Co.
was destroyed by fire. II is thought
that the phone was the cause u the
IRE. The machine shops are situated
IN the tobacco section of the town n
II was thought at one time that one of
stroyed and had ii not been for the
prompt action on b part Of the Will
son fire department this would have
been the case. n destroyed property
was partly covered by insurance.
Cards are out announcing h mar
riage of Miss Katie Jones, one of VIII
sons most beautiful daughters, to Mr..
VIM. Meade, of Danville, on September
4th. The ceremony will be a quiet af-
fair, only a few friends being invited.
The first month of the tobacco sea-
son Will close here on Friday. The
sales up to this time have been light,
amounting to only 1000. 600 pounds for
the month. This is quite a falling off
from the sales of last August. This
decrease has been caused by the late
ness of the present crop. During this
summer there has e dry weather in
this section and this has made the to-
bacco late. 1t is expected that The
month of September will foot up in
pounds enough to make up this de-
fciency. Tobacco is bringing a good
price on our market this year, all low
grades selling much better than last
veal.

The American schooner Charles H.
for Baltimore yesterday by Messrs.
George Harriss, Son & Co., with a car
go Of lumber shipped by the Cape Fear
Lumber Company.
At 3 .. IN. when the tug fastened a
hawser to the schooner n was ready
to tow her out to sea, the three sailors
on board had some words with the cap
tain and stepped ashore and came up
town. They refused to go on board
when ordered to do so, giving as their
reason that they had to do the work Of
four men.
Captain Gaul took out warrants for
them on the charge of desertion and
they were arrested by Policeman j. S.
Bryan. The prisoners were taken to
the city hall and in the absence Of the
mayor, they were given a hearing by
Lieutenant Of Police Skipper, who is a
magistrate. After hearing the state
ment Of the captain and h men, he
ordered the sailors to be taken back to
the ship.
Policeman j. s. Bryan and H. II.
Woebse took the sailors in custody and
carried them aboard and delivered
them to the captain Of the ship. The
ring leader was h~and-cuffed while be-
ing taken to h schooner in order 20
prevent him from escaping.
The schooner got away at 4 p. m.
and ven on her voyage. It Is believed
that h sailors didn't want the vessel
to sail until today, so they could have
a night about town.

Money Needed to Pay on the street
Hands-Hard York to Get the Board

at IL o'clock, but again there was no

the city and IL - urged that ali the al
derrnen here attend the meeting his
morning.
The appropriation fer permanent i'm
provements was SIS. 200 Tor the fiscal
year ending March 81. 1901. but owing
to h magnitude OF the improvements
undertaken. the appropriation has
been exhausted In less than five months
and. in fact. has been exceeded sew
eral hundred dollars. The a~ppropria-
ticn has been expended in laying vitri-
fed brick on Princess street between
Front and Second. and on Market
street between Front aud Water. in
the purchase OF machinery, in grading
several streets to make ready for
macadamiZing them. and in operating
the rock quarry. Unless the board Of
aldermen makes an appropriation. to
continue h work, that part OF IL IN
finished will nave TO be discontinued.
The board Will no doubt make the
necessary appropriation. however. as
there is money IN the treasury. IL will
cost several thousand dollars to naish
UP the work already laid out. In the
meantime the work Is still in progress.
The regular appropriation sor streets
and wharves, TO be used in ordinary
street repairing and cleaning. was $i4.-
200, but that has not ali been expended
and IL will last till the fiscal year
closes. Only the proportionate amount
for each month has been used.
