The above illustration shows one Of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company Of Chicago.
For oucthrd Of a century this Company
has been in business. Beginning IN a small
way they supplied their ~neigbbors in the
nearby towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise di.
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
Their customers with an illustrated cata.
logle. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue. until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus.
trated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.
BY a superior process of color photography
they illustrate many OF their goods in natural
coIors, bringing out the rich color value OF
curtains, carpets, draperics. and the latest
designs IN wal popers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds Of miles distant to
select goods at his V tircsidc, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class OF goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is becoming
more and more popular each year, for If not

''TAKE HIM Off"
Ex-Pop Congressman Advised
Boycotting Mr.. Peterson
Upon Hearing FoWler's Miscellaneous, The
Clinton Merchant Attacked the
Ex.Congressman.
Wilmington Messenger.)

FL
Mary Ann Butler, not satisfied with
the overwhelming reputation which the
people of North Carolina gave him at
the polls on the I'd of August, and no
doubt with the sinister purpose of TO
menting strife and possibly bringing on
bloodshed for political capital, issued
circulars for great Indignation meeting
at Clinton last Saturday. His call was
for monster meeting in the strong
hold OF Populism to protest against
what he termed red shirtism, intimida-
ton and fraud on the part of Demo-
Gratis in the election in which the match
less Aycock was elected Governor, the
suffrage amendment to the constitution
was ratified by an unprecedented major
ity, and it was made eternally impossi-
BILE for Butler to ever be sent back to
the United States Senate to misrepre-
sent North Carolina.
Butler expected his Indignation meet
ing to be attended by several thousand
people, but 1t was dismal failure, not
over 800 being present. Senator Butler,
F. j. Cooper, Esq, and Populist ex-Con-
gresham John e. Fowler were the
speakers, and with Butler dying very
hard, 1t can be imagined how bitter and
full OF partisan rant were the speeches.
ex-Congressman Fowler is said to have
shot off his mouth in a very reckless
and vindictive manner, and among other
things he is reported to have denounced
Mr.. George Peterson, a highly respected
AMI prominent merchant of Clinton, tell
ing indignant" Populists that Mr.. Pc
terson had ordered arms for the Demo-
Gratis to intimidate Populists. He urged
the Populists to boycott Mr.. Petersons
store and not trade with him.
This part of Fowler's speech aroused
indignation in the wrong way. 1t got
Mr.. Peterson on his ear, and yesterday
morning at Clinton he hoped on Fow-
Ter and gave him terrible drubbing
1t is said that Fowler begged the crowd
to take him off,.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Wilmington Starr
A "scrap" to which attaches some po-
litical interest is reported from Clinton.
Saturday, at the monster indignation
meeting at that town Congressman
John e. Fowler, who was one of the
speakers, Is said to have INDUCED in
bitter personalities and to have accused
Mr.. George Peterson, merchant of the
town. of having brought ITO Clinton arms
and ammunition with which to intimidate
Populist an anti-amendment voters.
/. The allegation was not challenged by

Mr.. Peterson untN yesterday morning,
when he met the ex-Congressman on
the streets. He repudiated the charge
made in the speech and denounced the
author. One word led to another with
the result that a fisticuff was INDUCED
in in which Fowler got considerably the
worst of it. Further particulars were
not obtainable yesterday.
