Double plush, cre tonne, scrim, and all kinds of cur tain material including shades, poles, chains, fixtures &c. Eider Spelman & Bros., and others. We guarantee them in quality to com pare with those kept in any store in Asheville. Our prices' it is well kown are away under our competi tors, hence our growing trade; and about shoes, hats &c, it is well known among merchants under the old plan of business, that their shoes hats, . umbrellas, fine dress goods, and notions or fancy goods, have to bear a large profit in order to make up for the close profit at which staple goods are sold, that is goods in every day use, calicoes, homespuns &t. We use the same ratio of profit on all, which make our prices some times seem ridiculously low.lt is the system, not (he goods, which we have extra facilities for buying, preserv ing the same rule of profit, of course the contrast is still greater. We sell some goods lower than the cost of manufacture. We have bought (hem so, nothing is the matter with the goods, when they are gone we trust to luck and our buyer to ge city, to whom he was not alread seU ling when we agreed to come here. He continues so he says to sell goods regularly to these merchants, to wit, Messrs Redwood & Co., Sawyer, Mears, and one or two others. We on our part agree,to buy everything that we handle from Mr. Rouss that he keeps, and we have a representa tive in his store who looks after our interests by means of which we get the pick of the bargains that he buys at auction. Our friends mentioned above do no, they buy some of their goods t iere because they can get them cheaper than elsewhere. We buy the bulk of ours there be cause we can buy them cheaper t in hence we can sell them cheaper; there is no dif ference in the goods. Our finest dress goods which Mr. Rouss does not handle, we buy of H. B, Claflin & Co.. Butler, Clapp, Wentz & Co., down, Jersey cloth, blue, green, grey, red and white flannels, bead ed trimmings in setts, silver, and copper, setts and gimps in all the leading styles and shades. A large line of lamps at extremely low prices, Eight day, thirty hour, and Alarm clocks, over 300 now in the store at halt the usual prices, guaranteed to be good time keepers or money re funded. And now a few words as to our business and our plan of telling goods; it is not the quality ot the goods that we sell that regu lates our price, it is our facilities for buying, and our rate of profit. We have a contract with Mr. C. B. Rouss of 466 & 46S Broadway New York, the largest Auction Dry Good house in the Un'ted States, in which he agrees to open no new accounts in Asheville, that is to sell no goods to any merchant in this more. We sell a ladies common ense Day sewed shoe for $2.6S for which long profit concerns went $3 to $3.0, according to the gullibility of the buyer. To illustrate, a mer chant said to us yesterday, "You know Mr. Jones some people wont have your goods because the prices don't sound high enough, they seem . too cheau. I keep one line of shoes identically the same as yours.bought 01 uig Hon VUHV.C1U, saujc uuuu - r t - - 1 j and all. but I eet more money for them.". Yes, said I, but the peo 4 will.find you out after awhile. They are fast learning, while sentiment, politics, religion &c. have a strong grip on the hearts of the people, they do net control the pocket nerve; all will vanish when you pull that string. Our plan ef business is plain and simple, and is the successful one as is attested in all the large cities. The same talk and abuse was ap plied to Macy, Ridley, Altman, Lichstenstein andthe other leading 'retail department stores of New York, they are all immense "Racket Store'' handling the tame lines and classes of goods that we sell, 'and they sell them, and so do we, more and more as the days go by, when we can get people to come out of their old lines of habit, to see our goods and and price them, we al ways sell them, the people are not fools, they are open to common sense arguments and proofs; the only trouble we find is to get them to come and see. Come and see whether we have what you Want or not; if we haye we promise to sell It to you lower, than you can buy it elsewhere in Asheville. TRY US., v : Very Resp'y, GEO. T. TONES & CO., N. Y Office 466 Broadway. Sales at Banner Warehouse. The sale at this house was not as large as at the Farmers, owing to the fret that these warehousemen thought it proper to let farmers use their' own discretion about the sale of their crop btf jro the 1st of Now vembejr, as neither buyer or ware housemen are posted as to the value of new tobacco.- We quote some of our sales made: Sprouse Broe. 52 lbe. for $4.20, 114 lbp. 11.26, 55 lb?. 12.75. 48 lbs. 16.. 50 lbs. 25., 45 lb-. 24.50, 20 lbs. 28., 15 lbs. 35. and 25 lbs 40. J. W. Hunter, also, made good sales, running from $8.75 Jo $35 per hundred. There were only tLree piles of tobacco in the whole bieak taken in, and the owner of those was not here himself, if he had been' here there would prebably not have been any taken in. f he friends of the old Banner will have our best attention given them if they desire to sell soon. VV e proposa opening about the 1st of November. We will eive notice through the papers and circulars. W e bespeaK good prices for good tobacco, and low prices for common gradee. Very respectfully, Chambers & Perry. Prospects in California. Mr. Jordan Stone, writing us from Los Angeles under date of the 6th, eaya of California, once , counted among the doubtful, if not absolutely Republican States that it is almost sare to be classed as a Democratic State.the tendency in that direction being rapidly hastened by the causes mentioned belew. Mr. Stone says: Politically, this State, since the intro duction of the Senate Tariff bill a feeble attempt of an amendment to the Mills bill and the signing by President Cleveland of the prohibitory Chinese measure, has become liardlv a doubtful State. Do not bo surprised to see Cali fornia wheel into the Democratic column next month. J. (?. The Durham Exposition. Mr. Kobert Walker has returned from the above brilliant exhibit of the energies and progress of Durham. He says that the display and its environments far exceeded his expectations, though, as a former Durham man, ' he thought he knew what his old fellow-citizens were capable of doing. He was oar only representative there. He thinks, if the exposition had been a little later, Wes tern North Carolina would have been represented, and would have carried off the prizes in bright tobacco. As it was, our planters were not ready to compete, their cures not having been perfected. It is now in tarn for Asheville to pre pare for like exhibition; and choosing her own time to have one. making such display of her capacities as we know she is capable of doing. Durham leads. Let us emulate Ler example. Judge Clark Vindicated. The following letter seeds no farther or more elaborate explanation than it carries with it. All the facte and all the parties are sufficiently characterized by their acts set forth in the letter, as follows : Marion, N. C, Oct. 16th, 1S88. Editor Citizen : The Adrance-IIerald of Sunday last contains an attack upon Judge Clark for an alleged discrimination in the time allowed speakers here last week during Court. The facts are these : Mr. Marshall Mott asked through a friend for an hour and a half recess, it was given. At the end of the time, the Judge was promptly in the Court House, as is his well known custom. Mr. Mott asked no extension of time, took no notice of tbe Judge's presence, and kept on as long as he wish ed and was not interrupted. Capt. Thos. D. Johnston, our member of Congress. next day asked for an hour and a half also. At tbe end of that time the Judge was again on band . Mr. Jobnston politely asked an extension of time and it was granted. The difference was only this when Mr. Johnston's time was out, he politely asked an extension of time from the Judge, aad it was granted. When Mr. Mott's timeas oat he asked for no extension of time, but with no apology took it and was not interrupted. One who was present.

A San Francisco telegram of the 15th says: Judge Sawyer announced his decision in the United States Circuit Court to-dav in the tw cases under the Chinese exclusion aet. The court holds that the act is' con stitational and that its provisions ap- ply to Chinese now in port on ship board to thoso still in China. It is estimated that Ithis discussion, will affect about 33,000 Chinese, as there are over 30,000 return certificates still outstanding, and it is believed that there are now about 3,000 Chi namen in the country who had lived here before the restriction act was passed, and who, before the passage of the exclusion bill, would have been entitled to re enter this country under the claim of being "prior residents." About 600 Chinese have arrived in this port since the approval of the ex clusion act, and about 700 others are now no their way from China.

Dr William Hammond of New York, says it is possible for a per son to live sometimes without brains. Alter reading some of the radical papers in this State one could well believe the Doctor. Gov.
