noncB ro SUBSCRIBERS.
By the terms of a recent order issued
nj the Postofflce department, after
April 1st the publisher of a weekly
newspaper .-will not be permitted to
send hla paper through (Tie malls at
secoud-claas rates to any subt-criber
who may be in arrears for more than
one year's subscription. We presume
that by this time, all PATRIOT subscri-bers
are familiar with this ruling, and
our only excuse for mentioning the
matter again ia to direct attention to
the fact that the postal authorities have
aunouueed that the> ruling must be en-forced
strictly. We truet that we shall
not be forced to drop from the PATRIOT
list the names of any of our good
friends, and we flatter ourselves tbat
the great majority of our subsciibers
dealre to continue to receive the weekly
visits of this paper.
Those who may be BO unfortunate as
to have their names dropped from the
subscription list on April 1st will know
tbat thia course haa been pursued in
obedience to a ruling of the Poatofflce
department, and not as a matter of
choice on the part of the publisher of
the PATRIOT. However, the dropping
of a name from the subscription iist
will not release a subscriber from any
obligation incurred, and after a reason-able
lapse of time, all unpaid bills will
be placed in the bands of some one for
collection.
Finally: Please remember that, after
April 1st, we will not be allowed to
send the paper to any one wuo may
owe for more than oue year's subscrip-tion.
A card.
To THE TOBACCO GROWERS:—Hav-ing
read a card sigued by one £. L.
Mnrg .u In the PATRIOT of February
28tb, iu which he criticises "two tobac-co
buyers" for not attending bis sales,
aud knowing tbat we are the buyers
referred to, we feel called upon to an-swer
same. It ia uue that we don't
buy tobacco at the Farmers' Ware-house,
aud NEVER EXPECT TO AGAIN SO
LONG AS E. L. MORGAN RUNS IT. Our
reason for not doing so is tbat we don't
like Morgan's way of doing buainesa.
We propose doing business in a nrsi-
NESS WAY or not at all. We represent
the independent factoriea of this coun-try
aud Canada aud the Imperial To-bacco
Company of Great Britain, and
have unlimited orders for tobacco, di-re.-
t from the manufacturers, and can
pay as much for it as ANY ONE. We
aie not buying tobacco on this market
aud shipping it to Danville and selling
it at a profit, as Morgan has told us he
was doing. Still be claims, in his card,
that he is getting you the 1'tl.L market
price. How can this be wheu he is
shipping it elsewhere and selling AT A
PROFIT? We own homes and have
considerable money invested iu
Greeuaboro and are ready and anxious
to do our part to make this a good, big
tobacco market. Aa this great philan-thropist
seems to be solicitous about,
and anxious to HELP the tobacco rais-ers,
we would suggest tbat he get bim
a factory, BUY tobacco instead of occu-pying
the delicate position of SELLING
the FARMERS' TOBACCO tu HIMSELF.
Of course you farmers know when your
tobacco is put up to the highest bidder,
the greater the competition, the great-er
the price, and you know where there
are only one or two bidders there can't
be much competition. So we would
suggest that if you want us to bid on
your tobacco, you carry it to a house
tbat is run on business principles.
