Gen Win T. Wofford spoke in the Court House Thursday. He had a pret ty fair heaiing cl whom a great many were Felton’s supporters at the county precincts. He pretented that his ad dress was in the interest of Dr. Felton’s yet it was mild and conciliatory, n.fith er able nor nteresting, yet rather lengthy. He praised Felton’s ability and integrity, and at the same time gave Col Dabney a good name In a in.ld way he attempted to show that Col. Dab* ney would get the support of some Re publicans, which he made an excuse for the truthful assertion that some very bad men were supporting Dr. Felton which Dr. Felton was not to blame for. The weakest part of his speech was an effort to show that Zaeh Hargrove, who has gloriously gone forth and told his Radical followers to support Feltcn ,was a Democrat and never was anythin" else (If these are the kind we’ll not take any in ours.

Y., iTETv l L—larjx?, ho* THE NEW FAMILY SINGER Sewing \l achine WITH : ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of Work is fist winning favor in the household, as shown by the rapidly increasing sales. This New Family Machine is capa ble of a range and variety of work such a was once thought impossible to perform by machinery. We claim and can show that it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated, and smoothly running of all the family sewing machines. Jt is remarkable, not only lb:* the rang and variety of its sew ng, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture whicn it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or Coarse, making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike on botli sides of the fabric sew n. Thus beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch , and, n a moment, this willing and never wearying instrument may be adjusted lbr fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. Ours having long been tho popular and practical machines for mauuf i cttiring pur poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of trade,” take advantage of this in trying to persuade purchasers that our Family Ma chine is not equal, for family sewing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes. But purchasers—and they are apt to examine carefully before choosing— have not been merely persuaded, but con vinced that our new family machine embod ies new and essential principles—simplicity of construction ; ease of operation ; uni formity of precise action at any speed; ca pacity ferriage and variety of work, fine or coarse-leaving all rivals behind it. Sewing M achine Sales 0f1874. The table of sewing machine sales for 1874 show that our sales for that year amounted to 211,097 machines, being a large increase over the sales of the previ ous year. The table shows that our sales exceed those of any other company for the period named, by the number of 148,862 machines, nearly Three Times Those of any othe Com pany. It may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with the sale of i872, show a relatively large increase beyond tne sales ot other makers. For instance, in 1872 we sold 46.000 more machines than any other company whereas, in 1873, the sales were And in 1874 our smos were 148,852 Machines More Than Anothie Company. -A REPORT. Tiie following is a correct report of the sales of sewing machines made by the lead ing companies during the past four years A eal-eful examination of the figures will show that the “SINGER” have largely in creased each year, while, on the contrary a corresponding decrease is shown in the sales reported by all other companies.
