Gov. Waite, of Colorado, proposes TO
convene the legislature of that state for
the purpose OF considering an amendment
to the state constitution authorizing the
state to make silver legal tender, and to
establish state minis and state coinage.
Gov. Waite is evidently not familiar with
the constitution of the United States.
Section of article of the Federal consti-
tuition tells Us that congress shall have
power "to coin money. regulate the value
thereof, and of foreign eoin." and section
10 of the same article provides that no
state shall ''coin money. emit bills OF
credit, make anything but gold and silver
coin tender In payment OF debts"

passed off quietly with a Democratic
majority of about rs, being Demo-
cratic gain of 125 over last fall.
Business is improving some in our
town and our merchants are feeling
more sanguine as new tobacco comes
in which is going at moderately low
prices.
Our school is in a prospecting con-
dition, new students entering almost
daily.
We are glad to see George o. Jones

young bride, who arrived today after
their romantic marriage in Chicago.
We are glad to note the recovery

AN KIC FORT.
Purchase OF Sir Walter Rate1& n q
Fort ON Roanoke Island.

The company of North Carolina
gentlemen, portion of whom are
residing in Baltimore, that was
formed in the early part of the pres
ent year for the purpose of purchas-
ing the site of Sir Walter Raleigh's
fort on Roanoke Island and "a good
sized tract of the surrounding land
have new a sound, tee-simple title to
the fort and six acres OF the sur
rounding land free OF incumbrance.
Maj. Graham Dawes, of Newborn,
concluded the purchase on his recent
trip there, from which he returned
Sunday. The company will now
soon be Incorporated and definite
plans settled upon. 1t is desired TIC
purchase $50 acres more of the con
tiguous land and start in that
direction has been made, but to save
this to the company a payment OF
seven or eight hundred dollars more
must be made within the next six
months
The intention is to take the entire
tract, fix it up suitably and preserve
it in proper shape as a memorial OF
the first white settlementin America
the biz til place of the first white child
and the place where first the chris
tan lite of baptism was admin
istered on this continent.
Some money of course will have to
be expended in addition to the pur.
chase money. The total amouat
that is wanted is $4,000. About one
third of this has been raised. Con
tributions to the patriotic work will
be gratefully received by the society
from any one who feels an interest in
perpetuating the memory OF those
early days.

the sottening and refining influence

chivalry; only woman's tact can
restrain the passionate nature, en-
courage the wavering, guide the
