It is Not so Much What You Say, as What You do. . Truthful advertising is often read with as much interest, as anything else in the paper. It is the best means of reaching the people and letting them know what you have to sell it cost lots of mony to do this and, the merchant who writes a great flaming advertisement, that peo ple know is not the truth, is simply wasting his money. It does not take people long to find out those stores that advertise so cheap but, when you go there to buy, they tell you, "they have just sold out" the article you saw advertised or, will have it in shortly. It is not so much what their advertisement say, as what they do. Claiming to sell cheap er does not count much with the people' unless it is backed up by facts. We believe in advertis ing but, we believe in telling the people just exactly what we have, and exactly what they can ex pect truth will tell. We often hear customers say, I come here because, I find what I have seen advertised. You may con- tiuue to come, and vou shall not be dissapointed. When we get a good thing we tell it Listen ! A manufacturer in New York, for some cause has shipped us a big lot ot Ladies Jackets and Capes to sell for them they are not our goods. Theres a big story behind these goods but, that matters nothing to you they are here and we are going to sell them. If we . sell them for several dollars less than their worth, it is no loss ot ours. Here's a chance for you to see the difference between this store and some others,that perhaps you have been dealing with. - Think of an all wool black Beaver, dcuble cape, nicely trim med, being sold at $ 1.25, its here. Capes, in all the new styles of cloth at $2.50 to $3.50 that you can not buv from other stores at double our price. It's a pleasure to all the clerks to show goods come look ! Our Ladies Jackets at $5.00 puts every lady thinking. You may compare them, with any in the town at SS.eo. 3lt's not ofteu we have things our own way but. sometimes large cloak man ufacturers ge , hafUur you kr.Dw, and. thatl's tbesecr$t The assortment is.large. still theii's a choice you had better come early.

ELIZABETH CITY, Oct 23th, 1896. A demand for labor is neces sary. There isn't enough work to go around. The Republican party and the gold bug cate chisms say times were never better, that laborers never got better pay, that everybody is eat ing regularly three times a day, that never were the times better for the wage earners. Yet over one million men are seeking em ployment. And a great demand for employment means low wages. On the contrary a great demand for employees means high wages. What is the trouble ? When money is scarce, like all other things, it is dear: too dear for investment. It hides itself. It earns more in usury than iu factories. It is cowardly. It wont take risks. Such is the money we must have on a gold basis lor the demand lor money is too great to be supplied by gold money. With honest mon ey money that is seeking to perform its proper functions by circulating among the people as a medium of exchange ot wealth we must have an extension of industries, and the inevitable re sult must be a demand for labor. The increased demand for labor means a rise in the price of labor. Increase the volume of money and money will seek legitimate Investments and engage the ser vices of labor and the price of labor is as sure to go up as Bryan is to be elected. And the cotton supply will be too little, and the baker's window always empty for the pies and cakes will seek another form of investment more beneficial to mankind in general and the ba ker in particular. This is only a small reason why we favor free coinage of silver. A 53 cent dollar iu his pocket will do a hungry man more good anyway than a 200 cent dollar hid away in Wall street even if it is a gold dollar. THEY CHEERED BRYAN. UNEXPECTED EFFECT OF A MC KINLEY SPEECH IN A COTs TON MILL AT CONCORD. The unusual is always hap pening in North Carolina poli ticj : these days. Yesterday at Concord Mr. J. W. Cannon, of the Cannon Manufacturing Com--pany, stopped the machinery of his plant to give his employes an opportunity to listen to Res publican argument from the lips of Col. A. D. Cowles.of States ville, for one-half an hour. Col. Cowles was of course in his hap piest mood for it is seldom such opportunities come the way that a politician treads He told of McKfnleytarifl and of Bryan re puJiationr.aiid of course thought that the r-laborers in Mn Can non's mili would cheer him to the echo, but f.alasj,, when the voice of the Statesville orator had ceased, and as the mill hands started back to their day's woik, thankful of course to Mr. Cannon for his brief respite from labor, the entire mill was filled with wild cheers for Brvan and free .silver. These same men and women were anx ious to hear the Democratic can didate when he passed through Concord, but the Cannon Man ufacturing Company were too pressed with orders to give thur employes a chance to look into the face of the man who will be President of this nation for the next four vears. Charlotte Navs. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The f lo ll milt a KILLED ON THE RAIL Special to the Fisherman & Farmer. Belcross, N. C, Oct. 22. This community was shocked beyond expression last Tuesday morning by the announcement of the sudden death of Mr. Jerry Brown. The writer found him Tuesday morning at 6:30 a. m., lying on the N. & S. R. R.. track about two hundred yards from his house on the west side of the track. Further investigations proved he had been killed by the late southbound train that arrives here at six o'clock, p. m. His right hand was severed at the wrist by being run over; his left temple was crushed in and the cap of his head displaced. His breast was punctured - in several places, and his left arm broken. The news spread rap idly. W. W. Whaley, Esq., was appointed coroner, and sums moned the following gentlemen as jurors, viz: S. S. Sawyer, foreman, D.1 W. Harris, - Cornelius Wright, A. Sawyer, Henry Evans, and Hugh Arnold, Jr., with Dr. J. E. Brothers, physician. They, after viewing the body, and hearing all the evidence, gave the follow ing as their verdict: We, the jury in the case of Jerry - Brown, who was found dead on the N. & S. R. R. track, after viewing the body and hear ing the evidence conclude he was killed by being struck by the engine ol passenger train No. 4, of the N. & S. R. R. Co. The jury never gave any ver diet as to whether the killing was accidental or suicidal but all things taken iu consideration there is no doubt but what it was a premeditated affair, as he lefi his house some time before the train was due and was seen near the track shortly before the train arrived. The theory that he was killed by some person and put on the track to hide their crime is entirely wrong. It was reported he came to Bek cross and sold his cotton and left here late, and was ou his wav home when killed. He came down Monday morning, sold his cotton took the buyers check for it, went back home before din ner, went in his cotton patch, picked cottou until nearly night, went to his house, helped his son to feed the stock, left the house and was seen by his, son going in the direction of the railroad, and was found next morning as described. Mr. Brown was a good citizen, a loving husband, kind father and greatly esteemed by his neigh bors, was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, and the mystery of his death is seriously felt. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the grjef stricken family. LATER: Mr. Brown was buried Wednesday at ten o'clock a. m.F Rev.'T. G. Wood, officiat ing, assisted by Rev. S. B. Overs ton. His remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of people. JA' The Ladies Mackintoshes at "The Fair" were bought at a big bargain and you can get the benefitof it. A FINE SPEECH. The largest crowd that has as sembled iu the Court House dur ing. this campaign was there Tuesday night to hear Hon. C. B. Aycock, who is so well and favorably known here. The hall was packed and a large crowd had to stand. m Mr. E. F. Aydlett in a few well chosen remarks ins troduced the speaker, who was liberally applauded when he. arose. Mr. Aycock at once plunged into his subject and showed that he was thoroughly familiar with t.ie issues that are before us, and for one hour and a quarter, he held the undivided attention of his audience while he sent volley after volley of unanswerable facts into the camp of the enemy. His speech, while eloquent and powerful, .was clothed in words of the kindest feeling toward all and abuse for 3 one. It was a master-piece ol oratory. Mr. Aycock can be assured that whenever he speaks iu Elizabe:h City he will always have an" audieuce that will be delighted to hear him ai,d of which he maj be proud.
