Modern Steamships Have No Fear OF
Storms, However Violent.
1t is not when the seas come pound
ing over the bows that the captain S
face lengthens. Even when it Is
necessary to keep the passengers be-
low, and the spray is carried as high
as the foretop, his confidence in his
ship is unabated. His spirits do not
fall with the barometer, and though
the clouds hang low, and the air Is
filed with stinging moisture flying
like sleet from the kissing sea-even
when boats are torn out Of the davits,
and iron bits and ventilators are
snapped from their fastenings like
pipestems, he has no misgiving as 70
the ability of the ship TO weather the
gale. or the fiercest hurricane that can
blow.
Give him an open sea, without haze.
or fog, or snow, and neither wind nor
wave can alarm him. He knows very
well, as all who are experienced in
such matters do, that the modern
steamers of the great Atlantic lines are
so carefully constructed, and of such
strength, that the laundering of one Of
them through stress Of weather alone
is well-nigh inconceivable.
But when fog descends, then 1t Is
that his face and manner change, and
he who has been the most sociable and
gavest of men suddenly becomes the
most anxious and taciturn. His seat at
the head of the table is vacant; look
for him and you will not find him, as in
fair weather, diverting groups Of girls
tucked up in steamer chairs on the
promenade deck, but pacing the bridge
and putting a cigar which apparently
has not been allowed to 90 out since 1t
was lighted as the big ship backed
from her wharf into the North river.
Whenever and wherever it occurs,
fog is a source of danger from which
neither prudence nor skill can guaran-
tee immunity; and whether the ship is
slowed down or going at full speed,
there is cause for fear while this gray
blindness battles the eyes. With
plenty of searoom the danger is least,
and it increases near land, especially
where the coast is wild and broken,
like that of Ireland and Wales, and
where there are many vessels as well
as rocks to be passed -Scribner

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state Of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, concluSiyely proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction Of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

Obituary.

Departed this life on June the Sth, 1891.
r. X. Pace, in the 18th year of his age.
The subject of this notice Joined the
Green River Baptist Church. N. c., in tho
20th year Of his age, and lived very con-
sistant christian life. His religion was not
like the tide that cbbcd and flowed every
twcnty-four hours but was constant, like
the constant flowing spring. lie was never
i'll the front ranks Of politics, but was al
ways reserved. AS citizen and ncighbor,
he always filed his place without com
plaint. AS Il church member he always
done his duty, and filled his scat at church
as long as he was able TO get there.
The writer visited him few days before
his death, read the scriptures and prayed
with him, and questioned him in regard to
his future prospect. lie remarked that
there came glooming moments over him
but he was ready. and his future prospects
were bright. His fruit proved the tree.
L" die was gain for him for his sulrcrings
were all left behind. The writer was at
his burial and it was witnessed by a very
large crowd Of friends and brethren, which
proved he lived in their hearts. lie left a
numerous family who were all grown, liv.
in different parts of the county, to mourn,
their loss. b. IL:

Learn by Experience.

/ The advocates Of fiat money aud the sub.
treasury have sad examples before them of
cheap money. One in the past, the other
in the present. The Spring gfeld Republi.
can thinks that after the experience of the
Confederacy the cheap money delusion
should not have such hold in the South
ern States. In the South the free coinage
or silver is looked upon as the curc-all for
financial ills; in the West il is advocated by
men interested in mines and those drpcnd
cnt thereon rs means of making mining
moro profitable. In the Soutl's desire for
more money the sub-trcasury scheme and
the Stanford land mortgage scheme is look.
cd upon as means of increasing tho cur
rcncy.
The Confcdcraoy had currency enough
and to spare OF Just the kind the Ocala
platform calls for; it was issued by the
government i'll volume rs needed, and was
based on the faith and credit Of the Con-
federate States, as much rs sub-treasury
currency would be based upon tho credit
and resources Of the United States. There
never was time during the war, after the
government at Richmond had set its print
ing presses going, when money was not
plenty and cheap, and the longer the war
lasted the cheaper it became, until at last
barrel of flour would buy almost wagon
load of it. 1t took $500 of this money to
uuy d udTTcl ol hour, J oOU 10 Duy Il pair or
shoes and 500 to buy pair of hickory
trousers, yet a few dollars in gold would
have been sufficient to purchase any of
these articles. This gap between the pre-
tended value and the real value of credit
currency was measured by the probability
that these various lcagi tenders would new
cr be worth their value in gold.
So 1t is in the Argentine Republic today.
The currency of that country is as worth
less as the currency of the Confcderacy.
Gold is ut premium. Any one i'm Bucnos
Ayrcs who owes debt in foreign country
will have to pay 81 of his money for every
one OF the foreign COuntry's.
Commenting OH this the Charlotte Chron-
icle says:
Money there is cheap and dcspised. and
Its purchasing power almost gone. Com
mcrce is dcmoralZed and life is hard.
why? Because the people have relied on
fiat money, or money issued by the govern
mcnt on crops. a barrel of flour worth SC
IN gold sells for S25 in Bucnos Ayrcs. The
farmer who makes the flour does not get
more value for il, because commerce is in
tcrnational and gold is the currency of the
world. His $25 is worth only So
SO it would be with the United States
All the fiat money would alcncnd on the
aoillty OF the government to redeem it in
gold, and this ability would not last long.
Foreign countries would not accept this
currency; they would demand gold; the
treasury would soon be unable to meet the
demands, and the country would go into
Oankruptcy.- Chronicle.

The Teachers Association met In the
School Commissioners Office, June goth, a,
II a. m. Only five of the old members
were present. New members were enrolled
as follows: Misses Mamie Kirkscy, Mary
Kirksey, Lou Anna Norris, Myrtle Bor.
roughs, Blanche Hudgcns, Cora Richey and
Mr.. II. II. Hallum. 1t was suggested that
some means be adopted to get the teachers
to attend the meetings regularly. The re-
suit Of this suggestion was the appointment
of u committee consisting of Misses Nan
ME Kirksey, Flora Richcy and Prof Stcr
ling to draft bylaws for the regula-
ton of the said body, said by
laws to be presented at the next meeting.
Resolved, also: That the Executive Com
mittcc appoint suitable person to conduct
devotional exercises at the opening of each
meeting. The first subject on the pro gram
was: "The best methods of teaching
reading to beginners. To be discussed
by Prof. Holland and Miss Lda Bowen.
AS both were absent, at the earnest solici.
tation of the Association, Prof. Bright,
In very instructive and forcibe
manner, presented his methods, which were
unanimously pronounced good. Methods
OF teaching the groundwork of Arithme-
tic, was subject No. 9. Prof. Sterling
presented the CRUDE Method as the one of
his choice and the only drawback to his
well gotten up plan was, that there was not
more of the teachers there to hear it, On
motion of Prof. Dargan the Association
now took a recess of one hour.
The afternoon session was held in the
Court House. Prof. Dargan gave most
interesting lecture on Hstory-its relative
importance to other branches Of study, and
the best methods of teaching it. He
warmly advocated the Topic method of
teaching history. That is really the natur-
al method of teaching this important study.
Another good method is that of cause and
effect. 1t should be presented to small
children and beginners in the form of sto-
ries. The next subject on the program,
writing, was postponed until the next
meeting. a committee of five was ap-
pointed to decide and make arrangements
about an Edu ucational Picnic The COM
mittee is as follows: Misses Mamie Kirk
sey and Flora Richey, Profs. J. f. Dargan
w. w. f. Bright and ). G. Sterling, Prof.
John 0. Davis was recommended TO fill the
vacancy on the Board of Examiners that
will be caused by the resignation of Prof.
Dargan. IT. was stated that Easlcy and
Central had each made offers to entertain
tho Teachers Institute on very moderate
terms. No further business being present

gram for the next meeting will be publish

Colonel Orr Prcsidcnt of Piedmont,


The board Of directors of the Piedmont
cotton mills, at Il meeting in this city last
night, unanimously elected Col. J. l.. Orr
OF this city. president of these mills to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Col. II. p. Hammelt. The whole board
was present and Col. Orrs name was the
only one mentioned.
Col. Orr's election will be satisfactory i'm
the highest degree. His name was men
toned for the position before the election
of Col. II. Nj. Mclaughlin, of Newbrrry
but he would not allow it to he used, as he
was in doubt as to cXpedcnccy of accept
ing it. The law practice of the firm of
Which he isa member is the largest and most
rcmuncralivc of any firm in the up-country
and II hc accepts the position of president
of Piedmont which it is probable, he will
sacrifice far more than the public has an
idea. Strong pressure was brought to bear
on him, and he will no doubt Yield to it.
That he will be a fit successor to Colonel
Hammett, everybody comedies, He has
the enviablc capacity of taking hold of
anything and making it n success, and al
though he will take hold of the mills while
they are in good shape, only man of his
ability, Judgment and energy can carry
successfully on work of so great RESPONSE
