FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND

Goes the story of the excellence Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and what it has accomplished,
and this is the strongest advertising which is
done on the behalf of this medicine We
endeavor to tell honestly what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is and what it will do, but what ii has
done is far more important and far more POI
tent. Its unequalled record OF cures is sure
to convince those who have never tried Hood 5
Sarsaparilla that it is an excellent medicine.

they made from Greensboro to
Raleigh. Before starting Eng pur-
chased one ticket; they then board
ed the train, and after a while the
conductor came around for the
tickets. Eng handed up his, but
Chang, with a merry twinkle in his
eye, replied: II have no ticket
and | have no money" Then
when the conductor threatened to
put him off Eng interposed and
told him that could not be done, as
he (Eng) had given up his ticket.
At this the passengers raised such
a laugh that the conductor con.
cluded to poss Chang, whose pas
sage was, however, soon properly
paid, for in all dealings they were
strictly honorable.

them with forty or fifty slaves, ana
thong these Of course were liberated
they had hidden supplies of gold
which carried them comfortably
through.
During their travels the twins
accumulated much money, and In
their absence from home their
wives managed their property in
an excellent manner. Several
children were born to each wife,
and these all received Il frst-class
education, and were brought up as
members of the church, principally
of the Baptist denomination.
The last scene in the history Of
the twins was as sad as it was
remarkable, and without precedent.
While with Barnuln in 1878 Chang
had suffered from slight stroke of
paralysis, but after medical treat
ment and rest had apparently
recovered, and Christmas was mer-
rily spent at home. About the 18th
or 10th of January, 1874, the twins
were over at Eng's house, and after
a comfortable supper, followed by
their usual pipes, they retired in
seeming good health. Early the
next morning Eng woke up, and
calling to his wife, asked her to
ascertain what allied Chang, as he
could not awaken him. Mrs.
Sallie Bunker, very soon discover
ing that Chang was no more dis
patched a boy on horseback to the

purchased about 1000 acres in the
adjoining county of Surrey, within
three miles of the then little village
of Mount Airy, TOW the terminus
of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val
ley railroad On this estate they
erected large and comfortable
frame house, with all necessary
outbuildings, and made many i'm
provements. Being of a cheerful,
kindly disposition, their lives
passed smoothly for many years,
while several children were born to
each wife.
Some Of the children were nearly
grown when one day, from some
cause or other, a squabble ensued
in which the the mothers took part,
and subsequently Chang and Eng,
who, being men Of spirit and cour-
age, drew knives and were about to
attack each other, when the wives,
seeing the danger, begged them to
desist. The twins ceased strug-
Cling, but decided that they would
then and there be separated, and
at once sent to Mt. Airy for their
family physician, DR.. Hollings-
worth, a man with quite reputa-
ton as a skillful surgeon. He ar
rived with his instruments, and
after being told what was wanted,
remarked:
Every well; just get up on that
table and III fix you, but which
would you prefer, that | should
sever the flesh that connects you or
cut off your heads? One will pro-
duce about the same result as the
other"
This brought the twins to their
senses, for they knew very well
that the great surgeons in London.
Paris and New York had decided
that it would be death to separate
them.
In perplexity Of mind how to
guard against future warfare in
the household, the twins called in
DR.. Hollingsworth and Messrs. Gil
more and Rawlew of Mt. Airy cs
arbitrators. These gentlemen,
after revolving the problems in
their minds, drew up a legal con-
tract whose principle provisions
were that out of the money owned
by the twins a similar mansion
and like outbuildings as those
which they owned should be built
on the large estate about one mile
from the existing homestead; that
the land should be equally divided
between the brothers by a compc-
tent surveyor; that no transaction
of business nature should take
place on these farms between the
two brothers; that the family of
Chang should live in one house,
while that of Eng should live in
the other. And, while the wives
occasionally visited each other, it
is worth noting that for many
years the children did not inter.
change visits, though they met at
church or in the village. 1t was
also agreed that Eng should spend
three days and three nights with
his folks, and that Chang (who of
course could not help being pres
ent) should, during that time re-
main passive, and not in any way
interfere with the affairs of Eng;
then Chang should spend three
days and nights at his own house.
Eng being, during that time mind
full of attending to his own business
and not that of his brother, as
Chang had been. These provisions
were accepted and religiously OBJ
served by the brothers until death.

CHANG AND ENG BUNKER
Interesting "reminiscences Of the Won
dorfuI siamaso Twins.
The Story Of Their Domestic Life -
Bot, Married and RAISED Interesting
Families.

Airy, N. G., of Mrs. SalIie Bunker,
widow of Eng Bunker, one of the
wolrd-renowned Siamese twins, re-
calls to mind much Of the domestic
history of these gentlemen and
their families, which now comes
direct from one who lived in the
neighborhood of their homes in the
old North State, and who was
personal friend of the twins from
his youth up.
Chang and Eng were born in
1911, in the lowlands of Siam, of
humble parentage, and and at an
early age lost their father. AS
soon as they We're old enough to
be of use to their mother shs put
them to the light work of tending a
large flock of ducks, which they
used to carry out every morning in
boat to a neighboring marsh,
where the wild rice was plentiful;
there they remained all day, and
at night, at the blowing of horn,
the ducks would waddle back to
the boat, crawl aboard, and then
the twins would paddle them home.
When the boys were probably II
or Is years Of age and English
traveller named Bunker happened
that way, and after viewing them
with amazement, for a stipulated
consideration with their mother,
obtained possession of them.
Leaving the East shortly after,
Mr.. Bunker for several years ex-
hibited the twins in every part of
the known world, treating them
with great kindness, and making
money by them wherever he went,
until in 1882 he had amassed q
fortune, and the twins being by
this time Of age, he CONSIDERABLY
gave them their freedom, with per-
mission to adopt his name, and
with enough ready cash to start
them comfortably in life. This
happened in Raleigh, N. c., and
the young men, though they loved
their protector well, loved freedom
better; SO, with friendly parting
on both sides, they started out to
make their way alone-and yet to-
gether. While in Raleigh they
heard some talk regarding the ex-
cellent hunting to be found in the
mountainous parts of the state,
and, wishing for a little recreation.
they journeyed to the Piedmont
section, where they finally took up
their residence at the house of
well-to-do farmer named Yates,
living in the county of Wilkes, sit
uated at the foot of the Blue Ridge
mountains, and seventy-live miles
west of Greensboro.
Farmer Yates was fond of the
chase. Living in good old-fash-
Toned, style, with plenty Of negroes
and dogs, raising supplies of all
kinds, and surrounded by large
family, he took life easy and made
it pleasant for the twins, who
boarded with him for a considera-
BILE time. While there Eng Bunk
er became became greatly attached
to Miss Sallie Yates, and Chang
Bunker lost his heart to Miss AIDE
laide.
Some time between 1885 and
1910 double marriage took place
at the residence of Father-in- law
Yates, and the twins commenced
their married life on farm which
was in easy distance of their wives
old homestead Here they lived
happily, farming part Of the time
and at intervals going on the road
with Barnum and others, returning
home occasionally to their families
and fireside with well.filled pock.

valuable land to be sacredly

to continue this policy until
every acre Of land so unlawful
ly held shall be reclaimed and

Sec. z. We denounce the re-
publican legislation known as
the Sherman act of 1890, as a
cowardly makeshift, fraught
with possibilities of danger in
the future which should make
all of its supporters, as well as
its author, anxious for its speedy

metal or charge for mintage,
but the dollar unit of coinage
of both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and exehangeable val
ue, or to be adjusted by inter
national agreement or by such
safeguards of Legislation as
shall insure the two metals and

speculation In BreadstuI's.

SpecuiatIOn LII hSfeanstuIis.
The anti-option bill has pass.
ed the House and it is quite like
" that 1t will come up in the
Senate next week. This bill is
intended to prevent speculation
in grain and dealing in futures
and options in bread stuffs
1t is well known fact that the
grain markets are practically
controlled by spectators not
by men who actually deal in
the cereals, but by those who
buy and sell what they never
handle. Hundreds Of millions
of bushels of wheat and corn
are yearly sold where not one
bushel ever passes and Of which
one grain never exists.
The markets for grain are
naturally in sympathy with
these operations because the
real causes which affect the
prices Of grain are used in these
speculations 10 put "options
and futures" up or down. There
are two classes of operators
known as "bulls" and abears, Z
who like the ancient's notions
Of the spirits Of ssGood" and
EVIL" " are constantly warning
with each other-the "bulls"
to raise the market and the
.'hears" to depress it. Grain
crops that have never sprouted
in the ground are sold to be de-
livered months or a year hence.
We hear of "fioods in the
West, " "chinch bugs and kill
ing frosts" and all the accidents
growing crops may be subject
to. Another time crops and
imminent war in Europe. These
are the bulls expedients to
raise the market. Again come
the report Of an unusual acre
age planted, fine growing
weather, crops away above the
average, good crops and every
thing peaceful and lovely in
Europe. This is the work of
the bears. These things keep
the market see. saving and keep
the minds Of the unsophisticat-
ed farmers yacillating. They
have no means of knowing the
truth and they sell their pro-
duce at random and most fire
qnently are caught
Now the question whether
this can be prevented or reme-
died by legislation is very
doubtful. Our grain centers Of
Ch cago and New York control
neither the real nor the specula-
tive grain markets ofthe world.
It is done in London and Paris
and abroad where our surplus
is purchased and consumed.
An anti-option law or enact
ments against dealing in fu.
lures here would have but lit
tie effect to cure the evil and
protect the farmer because
they would not reach the source
Of the trouble. 1t might
accomplish something, but
very little good would come tc
the farmer from such legisla.
tion. These efforts are worth
q trial. But il is the old, old
story of innate human depravi-
ty. Men have u universal pre-
dilection TO gamble in some
shape or form just as they have
an appetite for some kind OF
other Of stimulants. Shut of
the source Of one and they fine
another frequently worse t
take its place.
