ping would be as ridiculous as it
is disgusting. The people are
tired of personalities and abuse,
and both sides will doubtless be
glad when the campaign is ended.
Up to this time the principal re-
suit seems to have been the de-
velopment of a vituperative vo-
cabulary which either cannot be
printed at all, or requires more
dashes than the newspapers can
furnish.
THE ice dealing firm of Messrs.
Latham & Grady have retired
from the market and have turned
their trade over to the more
fully stocked and extensive firm
of B. II. Griffin & Co., who have
not raised the price of the cool
ing beverage, however, in conse-
quence, but are selling it by the
ten pounds or the ton at rock
bottom figures. The broad bus:
mess enterprise and unfailing sa-
gacity that have characterized
the management of the ice bust
ness of this city and section by
the above successful firm has
won them an army of customers,
not only in this community, but
all up and down the lines of the
several railroads c%entering here.
HIS many friends here r
glad to greet i'll the city again
the renowned and reliable Russian
opthalmic optician, DR.. D. S.
Harmon, who has taken rooms
at the Hotel Kennon, and will
remain here several weeks to
meet professional engagements.
AS announced some time ago,
DIR. Harmon has purchased real
estate here and adopted Colds
boro as his permanent home,
although Re will continue to
make his regular rounds to
other cities in and beyond the
State. His stay here at present
will be for some weeks, and all
who have need of his services
for the eyes will find him at the
Hotel Kenon.
AN accident to the locomotive
of the passenger train from More
head yesterday morning delayed
it's arrival here two hours: but
with commendable enterprise an
extra train was made up at New
bern and sent out on schedule
time making all local connections.
The accident occurred at Have
lock, below Newbern, and eight
miles from a telegraph station,
so that a prompt report of the
delay could not be had, otherwise
there'would have been little delay
and no mail connections missed.
AS it was, only the North
ern mail connection was missed,
the train arriving here in time to
meet it's western connection.
The administration of the A. &
, N. G. is right up abreast of the
times in railroading and is pay
ing the State and the private
stockholders a dividend that is

gate.
, WHY should the calamity
!: organs be trying to work up an.
other panic over the small amount
E of gold in the Treasury? The
conditions are in no way the same
as last summer. The drain OF
gold was then caused by the sill
yer purchases, a steadily con
4 tinuing drain that meant newt.
e ably a change to the silver stand
t ard if it were not stopped. But
it was stopped and the panic was
ended. There T no panicky
conditions now, and the ordinary
rise and fall of the gold in the
Treasury is not of great impor
tance. It has been shown tina
D there is magic in the figures 300,
e 900. If there were a ''run' or
the Treasury, that sum would
not begin to redeem the outstand
d d ing obligations, while if no on
u demands their redemption the
T exact proportion of gold in thu
. Treasury matters little.
