Proposed New Cemetery Near

An informal meeting was held in
Squire Taylor's Office on Monday
last, with the view of establishing a
cemetery near the town, an institu-
ton much needed in this locality.
Wn. Brown offered to sell SIX acres
in the southwest corner of his tract
of land, situated west of the town,
with an entrance of ample width from
the HarrisVile road. W. T, B. r.

persons to wait upon the citizens oil
the town and neighborhood and
solicit subscriptions to the capital
stock OF cemetery company, to be
issued in shares OF twenty dollars
$500 each, which will entitle the
holder to burial lot therein, ten by
twenty feet 10 size. 1t is hoped that
sufficient interest in this movement
will be developed to assure the sue

Other governments are to-day
operating railroads, telegraphs and
telephones. The work has been
successful and satisfactory beyond
the most sanguine hope. 1t has been
found possible to run railroads with
better service than is found in this
country at 20 cents per 100 miles, or
one fifth of a cent per mile. The
same proportionate reduction of
rates has been found practicable in
the telegraph and telephone service.
1t is accomplished in saving of the
immense salaries of the chief officers
of these corporations, and the saving
Of the enormous corruption fund
which is expended, as above
described, to hold the people down.
The most competent and satisfac-
tory service in this country to-day is
its post Office department. For one
cent quite long letter on a postal
card, of lately increased size, can be
despatched from Richmond to San
Francisco. Does any one doubt that
SIS would have been the charge for so
long distance had a corporation
owned the monopoly of letter carry

Shall We Coin Our Own Silver

1t has grown into POLICY of the
old parties so great has been their
decadence in Americanism, that their
financial dream is to secure the con
sent of the crowned heads and aristo.
cratic class of Europe and England
particularly. to the United States
coming their own silver. The case
would be an exact parallel to ask
their permission to cast pigiron from
our iron ore. The reason we should
coin all the silver we mine and con.
vert all our ore into pig iron are the
same in policy and principle. We
should be wholly independent of
foreign nations in every respect.
But the inconsistency is seen in a
party that advocates high tariff to
make Americans master of their own
affairs and monetary congress to
beg permission of England to make
our own money, in place of selling
bonds to buy money from the bank
ers of England and Germany. The
The dream of our President is a
monetary conference to try and beg
England's permission !! The sug,
gestion to ask foreign nations per-
mission to coin onr silver ought to
fire every American with indignation
and make him blush with shame. If
foreign bankers control our money
or continue to control it as they have
been doing-they can readily control
the price of all we produce for sale.
Whoever controls the money of q
country controls the wages and the
prices of every article produced in
that country. Just think Of a Pres
ident's "dreah" being the consent of
foreign nations to coin the products
of our silver mines into dollars!
