NEW RULEs.-Tne dispensary rules

will be sworn out by the dispenser
against such persons. County dispen-

A SENSIBLE SUGGEsTION.-Amo
the many suggestions made for com
promise on the silver question, there
is one which has been overlooked dur
ing all the turmoil, and which, If the
situation creates deadlock, is likely
of being brought forward. This sug-
gestion is for the passage of law
ablishing all paper money of smaller
denominations than So. and SO have
the effect of forcing into circulation
the use of silver in all transactions
small'r than that amount. II COM
promise in Congress Is actually neces-
sary, this proposition is well worthy of
consideration.
The Bank of England issues no
bills OF less denomination than G5 or
nearly $25, although they have the
sovereign and half-sovereign in gold.
Since we are considering the currency
question much on the lines of Eng
lands financial methods, as q last re-
source it will do no harm to consider
this one leaf from their book.

of the wealthiest and most prominent
citizens of Oxford, Ala, was the vic

lance Platform and Dodging Will
Not be Allowed.
The Columbia Journal reports the
following conversation with promi,
nent Allianceman, giving his interpre-
tatlon OF the recent actings and doings
of the State Alliance:
The Alliance meeting at Walhalla
was the subject of discussion at first,
and he attempted to correct few false
impressions under which he felt the
reporter had been laboring. He said
that Colonel Norris was withdrawn
from the race for president by
his friends not because they feared
defeat for him, but purely in the in
terest of harmony Hon. w. d. Evans
was not, as many supposed, elected be-
cause he was known opponent to the
Governor, but because he was the choice
of the majority at the particular time,
and entirely without consideration of
the Governor.
The gentleman insists that the Alli-
ance Is now on a solid basis, with fine
membership and in flourishing con-
ditiOn. He intimated that certain
gentlemen Indicating very strongly
who they were) had gone to the Wal
halla meeting under the impression
that they would run the whole bust
ness, and, with suggestive smile, ask
ed as to their corpulency since the
meeting.
He said that the Alliance did not in
tend to allow politicians to run it any
longer. "We have determined now to
reverse the order of things and run the
politicians" he said. "We have set
forth our demands in unmistakable
terms and they must be agreed to by
those who want our support. 1t does
not make any difference what man
wants. the Alliance vote. He must
step right up on the Alliance platform
and stand squarely on it without
flickering or attempting to dodge
issues. In this State we think it best
to stay within the Democratic party
and control it, because we have the
majority of the white voters and can
do so very easily"
"In national politics." he continued,
{" we will have to declare for Third
Party, because neither of the old
parties will give us what we want.
They are both controlled by Wall
street, and cannot succeed without it's
influence. Therefore we can hope for

was asked him.

The term " free coinage of silver {"
may be taken in two senses. In one it
may mean the coinage silver by the
government for any one free of cost to
the owner-free of seigniorage, the
part going to the government for the
expense and cost of coinage; or it may
mean the unlimited coinage Of silver,
without limit by law on the amount
coined. At present any person may
take gold bullion to the United States
Mint and have it coined, not only free
OF seigniorage, but also in any amount

theory that much Of it is being boarded

BURIED TREasuRE FOUND.
A Pile of Old Gold Coins Unearthed
i'm Spartanburg County.

Mr.. w. I'll. Lyles returned to the city
yesterday from stay at his summer
home at Landrum's, on the Asheville
and Spartanburg road, near the State
line. He tells the story of the re-
markable find Of buried treasure upon
the plantation adjoining his place by a
poor white farmer. The treasure is all
in gold coin, some of the coins being
lis years old, All of it is the coin OF
foreign countries, and the dates range
from l719 to 1892.
ploughing in the field. His plow turn
ed up two of these gold coins. He
picked them up and went ahead. His
wife came along shortly afterwards
hoeing. She dug up two more. Then
they stopped work and went back to
the spot, beginning to dig In short
time they unearthed pile, with no
other covering than the earth, of over
100 of these gold coins. Each one of
them was as bright and shiny as if it
had just come from the mint. The
money value of the gold itself is about
$500. Some time ago the same farmer
dug up an old skillet near the same
place. 1t is supposed that the coins
were buried therein.
The land upon which this gold was
lounu lormerly belonged TO Thomas
Earle, but there is no clue to solve the
riddle of how this treasure came to be
buried there. 1t is supposed to have
been collection of rare coins made by
some man with q fancy for such things
during the present century and buried
there for safe keeping during the war.
The value of the coins, on account of
their age and rarity, is no doubt, very
considerable. The coins are Spanish,
English, German, etc.
Mr.. Lyles secured two of them. They
are beauties. One of them is the size
of a five dollar gold piece. On one
side is the inscription in Latin "Philip
V, by the Grace of God, King of Spain
and India" This surrounds the head
of Philip. On the diverse is the crown
and coat arms of Philip and this in
scription "The fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom"
The other coin is larger. Surround
ing the head of a woman, Louis queen
no doubt, is the inscription: "Louis
XIV, by the grace of God, King of
France and Navarro, ITO" On the
diverse is the maltese cross with flour
de lis in the center and the inscription
in Latin "Christ reigns, conquers and
rules"
The farmer will doubtless realize a
handsome sum for his find. The State.

-Accordine to The Lancet. III

According to The Lancet, the
well-known English medical weekly,
cholera has been epidemic in Mar
seilles for the last three months. The
local officials, 1t Is asserted, have
carried their policy Of deception to
such length that even the government
has been led astray in regard to the
real state OF affairs. The prefecture
now admits that there have been COL
deaths from cholera in Marseilles since
the middle of May. During the last
four weeks there have been 826 deaths
throughout France.

One Of the sages of the Peoples
Party in Kansas some time ago deliv-
cred himself at public meeting as
follows: "If all the money that is in
the banks we're in the pockets OF the
people, the country would be better
off," This good man was evidently un-
aware of the fact that the money which
10 in the banks does not belong to the
banks, but to people who deposited it
there, and can draw it out again when
they please; that, meanwhile, this
money is lent out by the banks to peo-
pie who can give sufficient security
and that, when so lent out, it circu-;
lates among the people in the channels
of business, and Is, therefore, virtually
in the pockets of the people.

old times if the man shot at got Int and the doctors cut him up and killed him, there would follow trial, of course. and some inconvenience to the shootist, but acquittal was usually the result, and the shootist bore thereafter all the honors custom decreed one who had ''killed his man." Those good old times are gone, however, for the United States district court in Mississippi has stepped to the front and put price on killing or trying to kill a man that will be prohibitory. As related by the Mo bile Register it happened this way: James A. Mayfeld, James II. and George II. Sisli met one J. NJ. Ross in Amory, Miss, two years ago and filled him to the muzzle with cold lead bull lets. They did not like Ross, so they loaded him with lead and tried to sink the life out of him. Ross, however, managed to pull through and did not die: on the contrary, he lived to bring suit in United States court, demand ing that his assailants pay him SlOO,- 900 damages done to his anatomy by the cold lead they had sprinkled into him. There was hot legal contest, with talented lawyers on both sides, John Nj. Allen, of Tunica, appearing for the defendants, and J. II. Watson, of Memphis, for the plaintiff, and the jury, after two hours deliberation, brought in verdict for Ross for the fnll amount claimed.
 People may judge what a catastro- phe this proved to be for the defend ants by the fact that as soon as the verdict was rendered they made gen. eral assignment for the benefit of all their creditors.

A STRONG AN SWER.

The Salt Lake Tribune which is just now striking from the shoulder at the enemies of silver thus answers favor ite argument of the goldbugs:
 "The Chicago Tribune is most vindict- i've in it's fight upon silver. It says : "The greatest part of the silver pro- duced in the United States last year cost much less than 60 cents per Ounce." The first answer to that is, it is not true. The second is, if it were true it would not matter. There is no reason why any producer in the United States should sell his material at the exact cost of production. As a rule, men do not go to work with that motive. The actual cost of the Chicago Tribune probably is not $4 year, but the peo- pie buy the Trlbune because they want . The $3S, ,000, ,0C0 in gold which the United States produced last year was very much of it mined for probably $5 per ounce, but it was worth $20 an ounce because the world wanted it as money. The use to which silver has always been put has been for money. While that use was recog. ulHeu It WAS WOtbn more Judn ROlu' Ii the world can get along well enough without silver, then the silver miners ought not be considered, but the state of prices throughout the world today, the money congestion, the un- certainty and threatened ruin which hangs over all the great countries of the world, are living certain evidence that with every ounce of silver utilized ps money, the old rule would still be found inyiolable, namely, that the GU. pidity of man, working since the begin ming of time, has not been sufficient to obtain either gold or silver enough, or both com bined, to carry on smoothly the worlds business. That is all the point there is to the question and when the Tribvae turns away from that and devotes it's columns to denunciation of silver miners, the man who does the r..ting may not be aware of the fact, but it is true nevertheless, that he does a direct wrong to every farmer and fac tory owner in the state of Illinois and in this country, and that instead of be- ing a teacher of the people he is, in point Of fact, an enemy of mankind"

SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.

To Be Introduced Into the Boston Public
 schools Very Shortly.
 It is proposed to introduce ''stamr savings banks" in the Boston public schools. From various offices colored stamps of ixdenominations and stamp cards will be obtained. To each per. son wishing to become a depositor the local treasurer gives him a stamp card and sells him as many stamps as he has money for, These stamps must be pasted on the card. The card, when full, will probably contain about five dollars.
 As soon as the child has stamps fol that sum the money is taken and de posted for him in some savings bank that he may designate. The five dol lars once deposited he begins again and the small sum grows to larger one under his hands. If he wishes tc withdraw he presents his card anG draws all that is on it. Then if he has more money than he cares to use Inc calls for another card and redeposits the balance.
 By this method all bookkeeping i: avoided, the child always knows just how much he has, and the local treas urer can tell in the same manner. l. the child loses the card, however, Inc loses his money, or, rather, all that ht carried on that card,
