try is represented by about 20 firms,
who also cater for the wholesale

while on the other hand fair amount
Of business Is done in Cape Colony,

assumed large dimensions, as the
feather industries in the respective

that in Australia feathers in their raw
state at least should be imported free,

Merchants Are Optimistic.

A we'll known merchant of Char

been busy all the year, and al
though the dull season used to
come in before this time we haven't
had anything to complain of as
yet. =" This verdict on business
conditions is almost universally
given by merchants and dealers
everywhere. A great portion of
the business referred to is from
the country, and SO long as the
farmers keep the luck with them
that has been theirs for year or
over, business will continue to be
good.-Charlotte News.

FARMERS LOSING MONEY.
Some Suggestions as to CareIessness in
Handling and Keeping Cotton.

Seven bales of cotton received
at the city cotton platform a few
days ago were damaged to such an
extent, that about 80 pounds of
the lint had to be picked from
each of them. The pickings were
worth about half price, making
the loss, with cotton at II cents
cents a pound, of $3.50 bale.
Cotton Weigher J. S. Withers and
Inspector Robert Simpson,, say
that much of the cotton received
at the platform during the rest Of
this season will he in damaged
condition On account of the care
lessness of the farmers in. leaving
it in the rain. A reporter learn
ed that the farmers even in Meek
lenburg county, lose probably
several thousand dollars every
year in damaged cotton, when,
if they would put it under shell
ter. the cotton would remain in
first class condition.
One of the most experienced
cotton merchants in the city told
all Observer reporter that the
farmers, throughout North and
South Carolina are out Of pocket
thousands and thousands of dol
lars every season, because of their
carelessness in leaving their cot
ton in the open The cold rains
of the winter do not injure it, but
the first warm rains of the spring
and summer rot it. as it does all
other vegetable matt er. T h e
building Of warehouses in the cot
ton centers are reducing the guam
tity Of damaged cotton every year,
however, and the farmers too are
learning to take the same care of
their cotton as of other cro ps-

Confederate Re union. Crop Prospects
Reported Much Improved.

Work on the plant of the Eure-
ka Trouser Company has begun
again. 1t was held up on &C.
count of brick famine. There
is hardly a town in the State that
makes enough brick for its own
building, and there is always a
scarcity of this very important
material. The question is often
asked why more people do not en-
gage in the business, and the an
swer, as told to US, is that there
is very little money in making
good brick.
G. M. Thompson tells us that
arrangements are being made to
hold the annual Confederate re-
union here on the third Thursday
in August. The veterans will be
given good time, the best that
Lexington knows how to give, and
they are all welcome. 1t has not
yet been decided who the speaker
for the day will be, bnt Col. Ty-
Ter Bennett, of Wadesboro, has
been mentioned.
J. W. Tussey, the contractor,
last week placed an order for the
latest improved brick-ma k i n g
machinery, and will at an early
date begin the manufacture of
brick. The plant will be located
in Penry's field between the Sa-
lem and Greensboro roads. Mr..
Tussey will build enough sheds to
save every brick he makes, no
matter what the weather is. He
expects to have the plant in work
ing order in two weeks.
A meeting of all the voters of
each election precinct who are
willing to assist in the preserva-
tion of good government and in
selecting candidates for the vari-
Gus offices will be held at the usu-
al places on Saturday, August 4th,
at 8 o'clock, p. M, to elect dele
gates to the county convention,
also to nominate constable and
magistrates. This Will perhaps
be the largest convention ever
held in the county.
Rev. G.. H. L. Jingle, Of Glib.
sonville, has been called to the
Davidson pastorate, Luthe n
church, and has accepted the
charge. He will serve Pilgrim
and St. Luke's Grove, in this
comfy, and Reformation in Row.
an, succeeding Rev. P. J. Wade.
Mr.. Lingle will begin his work
by preaching at Pilgrim Oh the
first Sunday in July, and will
make his home at the parsonage
at Tyro.
1t is mistake to have the
county convention so early this
year. Heretofore the Democrats
have never held the convention
for the nomination of county Of
fcers during an "off year, be-
fore September. It is wrong to
hold early conventions of great
party to please two or three men.
The good weather has permit
i. ted the remainder of the wheat
