GREENSBORO.
A Rustling Town—Many Improvements.
Political Millenium Near. *
Greensboro, Oct. 15.—(Special Corre
spondence.)—The circuit court for Hale
county has been in session since last
Monday. The grand jury adjourned Sat
urday and reported thirty-nine true bills.
No capital cases were reported and there
are none on the criminal docket. Our
county Is free from offenses of the high
est grade and in good condition in the
matter of crime. The bonds of all olfi
cers, with the exception of a few magis
trates, were reported good, and the finan
cial condition of the county good. Taking
all things into consideration Hale is the
best county in the state and Greensboro
the best town, and more Improvements
have been made in our town than any
other town of Its size in the state with
in the past four years. Greensboro has
the best schools, the finest churches, the
ablest lawyers, the most skillful physi
cians, the most enterprising merchants—
In fact the most refined and hospitable
population of any town of 2000 inhab
itants to be found anywhere, and the
man who wants a good place to do busi
ness in or to raise and educate his chil
dren had better move here and build him
a home before the few remaining vacant
places are occupied.
The political mlllenium Is near at hand
and the golden lion and silver lamb are
about to lie down together, as an evi
dence of which the Watchman has
spoken in the most flattering terms of the
Hon. A. G. Smith as a suitable and desir
able candidate for governor. If the Ad
vertiser doesn’t call a halt on Its young
diciplos there Is going to be trouble in
the camp.
For a wonder the negroes are holding
back their cotton for better prices, and
although there Is a large crop made but
very little Is brought to market.
The estimated receipts of cotton at this
point is 6500 bales, against 10,000 bales
last year. The river Is too low for boats
and cottop which is usually shipped by
river to Mobile Is coming here.
Mr. J. H. Y. Webb has been quite ill
for several days, but Is now Improving.
Dr. F. M. Peterson and Mrs. Peterson
left a few days ago for New York to be
absent several weeks.
MARION
Coro 25 to 30 Cents Per Bushel, Hay 20 to
30 Cents Per Hundred,
Marion, Oct. 13.—(Special Correspond
*ence.)—Mr. Charlie Ballard, who lias been
confined to his bed for several months, is
improving: slowly.
The youngest child of Mr. George Tarry
is critically ill.
Marlon has received to date about 2100
bales of cotton. It Is not thought that the
receipts here will exceed 5000 bales for
the enlite year.
Corn Is selling in this market at 25
and 30 cents pet bushel and good hay for
20 arid 25 cents per hundred.
The Baptist church here has called to
Its pastorate ltr-v. Robert Patrick of
Sou Hi Carolina. He will probably enter
upon his work about the 1st of November.
Our schools have all a larger attend
ance than for several years. The Judson
and the Marlon Military Institute have
each about seventy boarding pupils, and
this number Is increasing every day.
Mr. James A. Smith. Jr . and Miss Bnla
Morgan, both of Marion, will be married
in the Presbyterian church tomorrow, the
15th The groom's parents will give the
wedding party a reception. Another
wedding Is booked for the 31st of thl3
month.

OUR COAL TRADE.
The Northern Rivers Have Been Too Low to
Navigateand Birmingham Coal Dealers
Unable to Supply the Demand.
A State Herald reporter was Informed
by a coal operator yesterday that more
orders for coal were being received than
could possibly be filled under existing
circumstances. He said his company
was forced to turn down orders, both by
mail and wire, every day on account of
being unable to fill them.
Su*d he: "We have the finest oppor
tunity for building up a good trade
among the plantations of the lower Mis
sissippi that was ever offered us The
waters of the Ohio river have been so low
during the summer that it was Impossi
ble for Pennsylvania and West Virginia
coal to be shipped there, and as a con
sequence we have been requested to make
sample shipments of from two to half
a dozen carloads with a view to future
large orders.' My company has had to
decline these simply because our output
is no greater than the local demand, and
this Is the case with almost every other
company in the district.”
"Why don’t you increase th8 output?"
asked the reporter.
"The men will not work full time,”
was the response. Continuing, he said:
"When the advancing iron and coal mar
ket justified us in paying a higher scale
for mining coal the miners began to
work less time. For instance, if a man
wanted to make $30 in a month and had
been making that amount under the old
scale in six days, under the new scale
five days’ work each week was probably
all that was necessary, and If so, when he
did his five days’ work, he would quit.
This being the case, our output has act
ually decreased, although our pay roll is
about the same as before. By their fail
ure to work full time, as they did prior
to the advance in wages, the miners
alone in this district lose not less than
$2000 a day and the coal companies lose
a considerable sum, besides having their
market curtailed.
“It’s a serious condition that confronts
us," he added, "and will prevent us from
enlarging our markets. In a few weeks
Pittsburg will be able to float 1.000,000
tons of coal down the Mississippi, and
then our opportunity to capture that
trade will have been lost. Now the big
plantrt-s want our coal, and will take
good quantities of it if we can only ship
It to them.”

When she become Miss, she clung to Castorla.
When she bad Children, sbo gave them Castorla.

HAKES CHILDBIRTH, EASY
by preparing the system for parturition,
thus assisting Nature and shortening
“labor.” The painful ordeal of child
birth is robbed of its terrors, and the
dangers thereof greatly lessened, to Imlh
mother and child. The period of confine
ment is also greatly shortened, the
mother strengthened and built up, and an
abundant secretion of nourishment for
the child promoted. If

worries her husband as well as herself.
This is the proper time to build up her
strength and cure those weaknesses, or
ailments, which are the cause of her
trouble. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion dispels aches and pains, melancholy
and nervousness, brings refreshing sleep
and makes a new woman of her.
