 goods we can buy at home. But tue fellow this article is after, is
 he mar wilh the bland smile who huys his groceries at home n time. sending the few dollars he iOes happen to catch, away for .iI.rr goods or witch he can save few cents. Very few of these fellows are worth much, and in reality the merchant don't lose much wher the scamp sends HIS money away. The place where the h"me merchant loses is in credit ing him fnr. the necessaries of life.
 There are of course many differ enl varieties of the mail order fend Same of i'.eln are not really very bad -icli"w- and they attend fo their own hu-iness and pay their debts promptly. and don't buy much on time There is no particular kick at the fellow for he wrongs no onr but himself. There are many great bargains in catalogs that are better bargains for the seller than for the buyer. And a great many mail order fends are learning this.
 So in reality the home merchant is not losing so very much from mail0rder business. The home printer loses more than any other business in the country for he loses the chance to work, and we make az little kick as any one. We all ought to stand together, spend our money at home as we may get some of it back again some time.
 Of course you may say the merchant sends away for his goods. We'll of course he does. But look at the difference in what he pays for goods and what you pay. You must pay retail prices and local freight rates. whereas, your home merchant can bny goods as cheap as the retailer from whom you buy on the mail order plan. And then the home merchant often gets car load rates, which are away below what you can obtain on small shipment. And many times you pay express rates which are from two to three times higher than freight. Another thing too should be considered. The home mer- chant usually gets better class Of goods than you do from the mail order house. There are of course exceptions but it is true generally.
 Now if people will use good sense they can see that the advantage they gain by having the goods to look at, try on. and having the merchant where you can "cuss" him to his face if he sells you a shoddy article nt q high price, more than pays for the advantage of little lower price that you get by sending away and waiting a week or two for what you need right now. And if the home mer- chant will gauge his prices on certain lines of goods just little lower, it won't be long till the mail order business will be thing of the past in these 'diggins'.
 Now, don't gather up your energy for big frown when you come to think of what we said in our last article on this subject That article had some truth in it and so has this. All questions have two sides, and we have con- cIuded rather than be spiteful that we will advise people to trade at home notwithstanding the fact that there is only one establishment in the county that gives most of it's job work to the local printers. Let her go Gallagher We can live on half rations or rustic.

WILL MAKE THEM CROWN COLONIES
The Fate That Awaits the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State.
(By the Associated Press.l


London, June 12.-Q0:05 p. M.)-It is
learned by The Associated Press that the
Government has at last decided upon a
plan for the civil settlement of South
Africa. The details are kept most Sc
cret, but it can safely be said that the
Orange River Colony and the Transvaal
will become crown colonies, the latter
probably being renamed the Transvaal
Colony. Sir Alfred Miner, it is declared,
is to be High Commissioner of South
Africa, in spite of the opposition he has
incurred.
The crown colony form of government
can best be understood by reference to
the system in vogue in the West Indies.
Sierra Leone and Ceylon. Endeavors will
be made to put this in force as soon as
possible in the Transvaal and Orange
River Colonies, thought it is scarcely ex-
pected that the details will be announced
or some parts of the work be begun for
a few months. While the civil settlement
will be drawn up SO as to be eventually
independent of military enforcement it is
realized that the initial work must be
effected with the cooperation of the
troops.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD.
The Rains Last Week Were Most Beneficial
to Crops.

The Crop Bulletin issued by the Wealth
err Bureau here for the week ending June
18th, says that in consequence of benefi-
cal rains which occurred over large
portion of the State a majority of the
reports of crop correspondents were very
favorable, and indicated much improve
ment in the general condition of crops.
over the northern tier of counties how
ever. and most of the central district, the
showers were light, poorly distributed,
and did not penetrate the soil to suffi-
cient depth to be of more than temporary
benefit. over most of the counties lying
between lines drawn from Cabarrus
northeast to Warren and north to Surry,
crops are still suffering considerably
from drought, and gardens have been
much injured. Elsewhere the rainfall
was abundant and especially beneficial
on account of the thorough state of Gull
tvation in which crops had been placed.
In some western counties rain fell every
day of the week and farm work was
interrupted.
Nearly all of the remaining tobacco
plants and sweet potato slips were trans
planted this week, except in those coun-
ties where the rainfall was deficient.
'A'N'
cate an exceptionally fine wheat crop,
but very poor yield of oats, which head
ed very low.
Cotton is doing very we'll. but is small
and will require long season for matur-
ity; chopping will probably not be fin
ished before June 18th. as it is much be-
hind in the west; good stands have gem
orally been secured
Early corn is coming into silk and tas-
sci and some has been laid by; corn
generally, looks we'll. and damage by cut
worms seems to be confined to lowlands.
Owing to dry weather in north central
portions all of the tobacco plants have
not yet been set.
Minor crops continue tC do we'll; pea
nuts are spreading rapidly; sweet pota-
toes are promising: tomatoes are bloom
ing freely. New Irish potatoes are be-
ing shipped in large quantities..
The peach crop will undoubtedly be very
large but other fruit has dropped so
much that less than half crop is ant'c-
ipated: apples will be very short. Pres

MCLEAN MEN IN CONTROL.
Free For All Contest For the State Ticket Prob
able Today.
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbus, Ohio. June 12.-The Mclean
men controlled the preliminary meetings
of the Democratic State Committee today,
but they are evidently playing for har-
mony more than anything else, and may
not carry out the same program tomor-
row. When John p. Mclean was the
candidate for Governor last year his
friends were placed on the State Central
and Executive Committees. His friends
are in the majority on the new State
Central Committee that was selected this
evening, and it will select the campaign
chairman and members of the State Exc
cutve Committee at later date. 1t is
claimed that the Mclean men in securing
control of the party organization tonight
for another year, have all they wanted,
and, although they could control every
thing tomorrow as they also have ma
iorities the convention committees,
that there will be free for all contest
for the State ticket and for delegates to
Kansas City.
The opposition to Mclean comes from
silver extremists who suspect that their
State standard bearer of last year was
at one time in touch with some Demo-
cratic leaders who were considering the
advisability of some other candidate than
Bryan. Although documentary and other
evidence has been produced to show the
most intimate anu cordial relations be-
tween Bryan and Mclean, yet the ultra
elements are opposed to anyone who ever
thought of any other candidate but Bry-
an for President, or of any modification of
the Chicago platform. Even the talk
about Dewev for second place on the
ticket with Bryan does not fully satisfy
thcm.

upon the Second DorsetS who carried the
position at the point of the bayonet and
the Third cavalry brigade who were
heavily attacked on our right from very
broken country round Iketini Mountain. Z
hope our casualties are less than 100

Here Friday.

The formation of the State Base
ball Association is now an assured
fact.
The movement which has thus re-
suited was begun here in Raleigh

nation of the association and the ar
ranging of schedule of games to be
PLAYED. The men, and the teams
represented are as follows: From

A. Morris: DR.. Joel Whitaker repre-
sents Charlotte and Shelby. Will
mington is represented by Mr.. f. S.
Battle and Raleigh by Messrs. r. C..
Rivers and Fred w. Habel.

rived on the late afternoon trains.
and last night they held a consulta-
ton. They were all in favor of eff
fecting the organization and discussed
the matter until late hour last
night. They were unable to com
plete the work, and are in session
again today.
There will be a game of ball be-
tween the Raleigh and Durham teams
here next Friday. This is to be the

London, June 12-(6:3s p. m)-The
War Office has received the following dis
patch from General Kelly
'sBloemfontein, June 12-Our troops
from the north are at Honing's Spruit
(south of Roodeval, where the Beers cut
the British lines of communication hav-
ing defeated the enemy. They will be at

General Knox moves out from Kroon-
stad to intercept the enemy.
Fuller particulars later"
comparison of General Kelly Kenny's
dispatch with the maps available, shows,
apparently, that the British line of COM
muncations, cut by the Beers. has been
restored by the movement of troops from
the north toward Honing Spruit to reach
which place they would have to pass
through Roodeval if they followed the
railroad. The fact that General Kelly
Kenny says Knox will move out from
Kroonstad to intercept the enemy
would seem to demonstrate that the
Beers are retreating before the Northern
British force and that troops from Kroon-
stad, south of Honing Spruit, have been
sent to intercept them if possible.
