Aftermath of the 3d Annual GrOCkery
 Sale.

Among the many big purchases made for the Third Annual Crockery Sale there was one which we failed to acquire in time for that sale. It's here now, and though the sale is over, the prices at which we would have marked these things for the annual sale will hold good next week.
 These goods were originally bought by a well known wholesale house. As big wholesalers, the house referred to, bought in large quantities and had the reputation of selling in wholesale way, at less than other Southern wholesale China houses You can judge from this that the original prices were low. Now this is what we propose to do---
 Sell all of the goods in this purchase to you at the wholesale prices
 Besides big stock of semi-porcelain and toilet sets there are oo dinner sets. Here are the prices of some of the dinner sets but all of them will be found marked at the same low price as these few sets here told of:

SAMOAN EDITOR
WARNS NCOMERS

The ''Samoanische Zeitung' of June
81 says: There has been for some
time past quite an influx of arrivals in
Samoa, so that in Apia every hotel is
crowded with guests. If the influx con-
tinues there will soon be a want of
dwelling houses. Most of the new ar
rivals seem TO have come with the in
tention to start cacao plantations. The
editor draws attention to the erroneous
idea which apparently is held outside
sf Samoa, that capital of s400 to $500
is sufficient to start a profitable planta-
ton for the production of cacao, va
nilla, and other tropical produce. while,
in fact, it requires quite double that
sum to embark in such an undertaking,
and to await the time when it will be-
come profitable, and the editor deems
it his duty to give a note of warning
to anyone intending to come for the
a bove purpose to Samoa

DELTA LABOR AGENTS IN TROUBLE
Residents of Hill Counties Warn
Them to Stay Away.

A gentleman who has travelled ex-
tensively through the northern and
eastern section of the state reports
that the sentiment up there against
the delta labor agents is becoming in
tepsifde, and steps are being taken to
prevent further depletion Of the la
Dor in that section in the interest of
the planters of the delta.
"At Macon and Colun bus re-
GENTLY he said, meetings OF the
citizens and planters have been held,
at which the exodus of the negroes Of
the delta under the smooth persuasion
of labor agents was discussed and con-
siderable indignation developed.
Resolutions in both cases were passed
Of the most positive character, warn
ing the agents not to ply their trade
in these counties any more, and
threateningly implied resort TO more
drastic remedies in case the simple
warning prove insufficient. Not only
there, but at other places, under
stand similar meetings have been held
or will be held soon. 1t is stated by
business people in the hills that the
question has assumed a seriousness
undreamed of before and something
has got to be done to stem the tide Of
emigration.
