THE PATRONAGE QUESTION.

The lone Echo complains that it
was ignored in the advertising line by
the democratic committee. 1t
claims to be democratic paper, but
posters announcing party meeting
in lone were printed in Jackson, and
hence the Echo tells the committee
to look for its free advertising from
the paper that gets the paid print
ing. This is all very well as far as
it goes, but it does not 90 far
enough. AS far as advertising is
concerned, there is no reason why a
paper printed in a town where a
political meeting is to be held should
not receive share of the advertising
patronage, no matter whether it
trains in the party ranks or not
Party policy should dictate the wis
dom of such a course. But when it
comes to the printing of posters,
that is an entirely different matter.
Nc political committee can justify a
waste of money contributed for
campaign purposes on any plea of
expediency. 1t is well known that
oftentime three or four speaking
appointments are included in one
poster. Such poster can be print
ed for one third less than three or
four distinct posters-one for each
meeting. To cut it up in several
posters, to please the notions of
patronage-hunters only, would. be a
waste of campaign funds which no
party adherents could be expected
to stand for. To recognize a paper
by inserting an advertisement of a
local meeting in its columns is per-
fectly proper; but to cut up a three
or four appointment poster into as
many separate sheets, thereby
doubling or trebling the cost, is an
entirely different thing, and is not
proper.
While on this subject we might
state for the information of our
brother printers that much printing
work for the county, paid for by the
property holders of Amador, has
been, and is being, sent out of the
county 20 fatten city printers. The
work could be, and has been done
here, just as well and as cheaply as
it can be done below, There is
neither a question of saving or of
quality involved. And yet officers
paid by citizens of Amador county,
for some ineXplicable private reason
certainly not public-send outside
for printing. There is a law pro-
hibiting the sending of county
printing outside the state. 1t used
to read that no county printing that
could be done by local offices should
be given to outside printers. That
was a wise law; it was a just pro-
vision in the interest of home indus
try. But the politicians, under the
manipulation of city printers, had
the statute changed so as to open
the door for their benefit, and close
it to printers beyond the state limits.
The law ought to be restored to the
basis of preference for the local
printers.

clearly and vigorously. He is a preacher

He brought him to Jesus, and in
developing this Mr.. Shore spoke of the
work of soul-saving as the great work of
the church. He said there were three
qualifications necessary TO soul-saving
First, \ personal knowledge OF Christ
second, A personal faith in the power
OF Christ; third. An interest In the saliva

past six months he had seen a number
of the most hardened sinners brought to
Christ. He has today the same power to
save he has always had.

Fire and False Alarm.

A fire and false alarm on Sundy
brought out the fire department twice.
The first alarm was from box % and
came about o'clock. No fire was found
and it is thought some one was pranking
with the box. A reward of $25 is offered
for any one sending in false alarm
The second alarm was just after half
past eleven O'Clock. and came from box
%. The department responded promptly
and the fire was found on South Person
street, Just beyond South street. where a
long, one-story frame building, the prop
erty of Augusta Wallace. was in blaze.
The nearest hydrant was at the cor
ner opposite Shaw University, and long
line of hose was laid. The building was
on an elevation above a number Of other
small wooden buildings. The wind was
high but this blew away from the neigh
blazing and the shingles We're burned
off, the rafters being left.
The loss is expected to be IN the neigh
borhood of 5000. The building was I'M
occupned and it is supposed that either
sparks from houses adjoining, or an incen-
diary caused the fire. The fire department
did excellent work, two streams beng put

says: although 1 do not drink tea or
coffee myself I have had most interest
ing experience in my family for about a
year ago my husband began to fail in
health. He would get so very nervous at
times he would have to give UP his work
and come home. His eyes were failing
him and the doctor became alarmed-was
afraid he was going to lose his sight. He
also got very yellow in complexion. at
times his blood ran cold. from nervous
chills the doctor said
In a few days he would return to
work still in that dull. chilly condition.
He would drink coffee coffee, coffee. for
a stimulant' he would say Gas he drank no

His condition gradually got worse in
stead of better until finally / made up

it, so l bought package of Postum with

to directions. He drank it and seemed to
like il so l continued to make it and be-
fore the first package was gone he be-
gan to get so clear of complexion and
feel so well, gaining fast in flesh, he was
so delighted he would get weighed every

Finally he talked so much about it Che

not keep it a secret any longer and told
him to give Postum the credit. The con-
sequences are there has been no more cof-

COTTON IS QUIET.
Futures Move Up and
Spots are a Little Ahead
But Do Not Advance.

The cotton situation at present is
summed I'D in one word-"cuiet."
On the local market there is absolutely
nothing doing. The cotton buyers here
stick close to thirteen cents and the far
mers wont sell at that.
Not single bale was sold here yester-
day. No one expected any. SO there was
no disappointments. A year ago the sales
amounted to 81 bales at prices ranging
from go to 97s cents pound.
If l wanted a hundred bales of cotton
would not know where to seek it in
this section" said a pominent local buyer
yesterday. That indicates the situation
exactly There is little cotton left about
here. 1t is all about cleaned up. and
the little that is left is not going at %
cents a pound.
The future market made Q net advance
of some 10 to 90 points yesterday Spot
in New York stood at 1415 cents, the
figure of the previous day. 1t is keeping
about Il of cent in advance Of the fu-
ture market, and the tone is good
The outlook Tor cotton during the spring
and summer months is for violent fuc-
tuations. These will hardly affect the
farmer, who has about sold out all his
holdings. but it will affect men who

it would seem that higher prices will
come ill the shorts have covered.

informed cotton man soys that the cry
of hard times among the cotton mill
men must not be taken too seriously. He
says that he is reliably informed that
a large number of mills are running night
and day at present
AS to higher prices before TINS season

cotton question is set forth in a little
transaction that ook place yesterday
This was q bet that was offered, but
found no takers. and the best was that
cotton would sell this season at higher

The highest price paid in Raleigh for cot

wanted to wager the hat believes the
price will go past 16a1 cents pound.
