North Carolinian Visits
Sydnor and HundIey's
Store in Richmond.

During a recent visit to Richmond,
Va. while strolling along Broad Street,
tho writer CHANGED to drop into the mag
/ ifoent stores of Messrs. Sydhor & Humid
ley. Truly it was a treat. A general air
of business management, and spotless
cleanliness, seemed to prevail. In con-
vcrsation with Mr.. Hundley he said they
commenced business some fifteen years
ago, in one store, and in a small way
and while their business was satisfac-
tory at that time, it seemed ''peo-nut'
trade, as compared with their present
output. Their floor space then was
about $500 square feet, while today they
occupy eight stores with an area of IS, $50
square feet. Their force of statesmen,
pLEolsterers, cabinet-makers, fnishers,
and helpers nears the half hundred mark,
ami all OF them experts in their several
Ceilings. Right here l am pleased to
state that one of their most efficient
statesmen, Mr. Wilson M. Gilmore, is a
who has been with them about seven or
eight years. They carry the largest and
fl cst line Of furniture in the South, and
mceestly remarked that while perhaps
heavier stocks were carried in the larger
Northern cities, they could not show
irer goods, for they bought the best
made. In addition to their mammoth
furniture stocks, they have most up
todate office furniture department, also
a very attractive display Of upholstery
goods, praderies, lace curtains, and Win
dow shades.
III their factory they re-upholster old
gccds of every description, many parlor
suits odd pieces, being shipped from
distance to be made over. They manufac-
turc nearly all of their couches, odd
chairs and Davenports, while in the cab
met and finishing shops, every species
OF Old and new work is handled. icy
look upon the Old North State as
trusted ally stating there was scarcely
a town of note in North arolina to which
they had not made shipments. Their
tlade extends into South Carolina, Gcor-
ga, Florida, Alabama and even to Texas.
They pointed with seeming pride to
sale OF very fine goods which had just
beer made to a gentleman IN st. Paul,
Mimi, and laughingly remarked, we took
an order a few months since for about
$S0G to be shipped to a resident OF Balti
mere, Md. On leaving a cordial invita-
ton was extended through the News and
Observer to ell North, Caroliniabs. visit
ing Richmond to make their headquarters

case called at the opening of court last

consumed in a vain attempt to secure
jury. rhe original panel was exhausted
before noon Oh Wednesday, and the court
ordered a special panel of % additional
jurors, who were summoned from the
townships of Paw Paw, Antwerp, Deca-
tur and Waverly. At noon yesterday
these jurors had all been examined and
excused, some for cause and some per-
emptorily, and another panel of ID was
ordered froN the townships of Pine
Grove, Bloomingdale and CoumbiaN At
this time the defense had used II of its
30 peremptory challenges aud the prose-
cution has used eight, having seven left.
Prosecuting Attorney Anderson is con-
Quoting the case for the people and A.
Lynn Free for the defense. 1t will be
recalled that the accused, Harry Fair
banks, on the evening of October 81 last,

firei

Paw Paw was visited by fire Wednes.
day morning which, while it caused a con-
siderable loss, might have been much
more disastrous.
About > o'clock Nightwatchman
Lord discovered smoke issuing from DR..
Curtiss' office ia the second story of the
Longwell block and tried to enter, but
the smoke drove him back and he at
once gave the alarm. The fire department
was on the scene in few minutes, by
which time the fire had eaten its way in
TO John Walls store below. Several
streams of water we're soon on the fire,
which was readily controlled. Mr.. Wallis
stock was practically ruined by smoke
and water.
The following are the approximate
losses:
John Wall, confectionery stock, 81 800
to 81. 1000: insured for 81 100.
Will Miller, tailor shop, $500; no in
surance.
DIR. w. l.. Curtiss, Office furniture and
drugs. 900: no insurance.
Longwell Bros, stock, $500 damage by
water; fully insured.
G. w. Longwell, ST., damage to build
ing. $500 to 81 900; fully insured.
DIR. Ferguson's Office and the Savings

1t is supposed the fire was case OF
spontaneous combustion ia DIR. Curtiss'
laboratory, and it had probably been
smouldering for hours before it was dis
covered.
