BALTIMORE BUSINESS MEN
Call Upon All oil Customers For a
Continuance OF Their Patronage.

To the Editor Of The Argus
Baltimore, Md, March I, 1904.
Dear Sir:-
The Merchants & Manufacturers
Association Of Baltimore wishes TO
call tho attention of all those Who
in The past have favored this City
with their trade to the fact that the
temporary interruption to business
by the great fire has passed, and to
state that business has resumed its
normal condition. While the sec
ton burned contained large part
of the wholesale district no lives
were lost, and il was necessary only
to find other quarters.
In all large cities there is a belt
of buildings that are neither strictly
in the business section nor are they
in the residential section These
have been brought into use, and our
business IS now transacted as before,
being removed only few squares
from its old location.
Since the fire the. greatest energy
and desire to get started again has
been displayed, resulting In the col
lection ofnew stocks, and our mer-
chants are now Offering perfectly
fresh assortment Of all kinds of ma
terials.
With all our great loss we have
not up to this time appealed to the
Country for financial help, but we
do ask that you continue your trade
with us and give us the means Of
helping ourselves. We can. supply
all your requirements.
Yours very truly,
Il. STANLEY GARY, President.

OF course your readers know that
North Carolina is rich in historic

The people here are mainly south

warmth OF heart, generosity, and
famed hospitality, Of which you
have all heard. We truly like them.
There are many noriherners here,
but as soon as they come they usual

The negroes do not vote.
There is state law which puts
the negro to an educational test,
before he can vote. He must read
and write and explain any section of
the state constitution. If they
voted, as once, woe unto the whites.
They held Office, over the whites,
and "White Supremacy" is not only
necessary but imperative. Your
readers would say so if they lived

the Soulherners to talk about the
