Thought to be Insane.

A woman named Mrs. n. CARA
was seen wandering around in the
trans-San Pedro district yesterday
evening, under the influence of
liquor. She was dressed in mems
clothing, wearing barely enough to
cover her body. She was taken to
the lookup for being drunk and
disorderly and was fined $40 this
morning by Judge Shardein. Mrs.
CARA is thought to be of unsound
mind and before her fine is served
out an affidavit of lunacy will
probably be preferred.

California VS.. Texas,

Mr.. Gus II. Schneider has return
ed from a trip to California. He
has visited many places and seen
the soil and products of the Golden
state. In conversation with a
LIGHT man, Mr.. Schneider said /:
eyes, am home again and glad to
be here, for there's no place like
home. 1t is true, have had nice
trip, and it has done my health
good. What is more it has been
an eye-opener to me. l think
know something Of Texas soil and
its capacity and l have been COM
pairing it with that of California. |
am quite satisfied that Texas can
grow anything produced in Cali
fornia as well, if not better, and
probably produce an earlier crop,
which is of great advantage to
those who need or earn premium
in that way. Why then should we
enrich California by importing
their products when we could
make and retain the profits right
here enriching our own citizens
and adding to the wealth Of the
state? We are making a big mis-
take and one day we will awake
from our lethargy and use the
natural means that lay around us,
to produce and manufacture all
we need, and supply other states,
instead of importing as we do now.
Texas is rich in her resources; all
we have to do is to utilize them
and we can be the banner state of
the Union"
On his way here Mr.. Schneider
saw the Industrial army near
Finley. 1t was a motley crowd, but
it was marching slowly, surely
and orderly on its way to San An
tonic.

Rev. John Bass Shelton.

The revival at the Alamo
Baptist church has grown to
such an interest that three
services a day are now being
held. Rev. Sheldon preached last
night on Gospel Obedience" The
outline of his sermon was as fol-
lows: LIST. Repentance; End. Faith ;
3rd, Salvation; 4th, Confession 9TH,
Baptism 9th. Church membership.
This was emphatically impressed
upon the audience with many
striking illustrations. Mr.. Shelton

seems perfectly at ease in handling
these great subjects.
Services are as follows: Social

Law on Mac Duff.

The LIGHT calls the attention of
Mayor Paschal to the fact that
some of his subordinates, have a
bad case of swelled head. The
policemen have received instruc-
tions not to give any news to re-

porters, and not to dare to open
their mouths about anything I'M

that the LIGHT is not friendly to

given a curtain lecture last night,

laboring under the same boycott,
but the Express is amply able to

DEATH OF VIM. B. F. FORT.

day morning at l o'clock, man
not only remarkable for his age but
for his ancestry as well: he was Mr..

our esteemed countymen Messrs. Wi

SO years of age, having been born on
June 14th, 1911, on the plantation
where he lived and died, which con-
tains 1900 acres of land, and where
all the hereditary generations of the
Fort family have been born, lived
and died back to the time of King
George III, by whom it was granted
to the original Fort when all this
section was known as Dobbs county,
the county seat of which was New.

Governor, occupying the Tryon Pal
ace in the Getty of Elms."
The original Fort was near rela~
tive of Benjamin Franklin. after
whom the subject of this sketch was
named, and there are now at the old
Fort homestead, where the deceased
died yesterday morning in Nahunta
township, silver and gold knee and
shoe buckles preserved through all
the passing generations of the Fort
family as heirlo looms from the Franks
lin branch thereof.
VIM. Benz. Franklin Fort married
Miss Evelyna Becton Isler, W ho pre-
ceded him to the grave 35 years
ago. She was relative of the Isler
family of this city, and was a sister
of the late Mrs. Council Wooten,
who WAS mother of Mrs. Judge W.
T. Faircloth, of this place: SO that
he had wide family connection,
running back through the years, with
some of our most distinguished peo-
pie.

members of the Primitive Baptist
church at Nahunta. His funeral
will be held from the old homestead
this morning at IL o'clock, Elder
Jonathan t. Edgerton officiating,

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

A little toy dog, all covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands,
And little toy soldier, all red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands:
Time was when the little toy dog was
new,
And the stldier passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now, don't you 60 till cnma, he said,
And denH i5ou make any noise.
So, toddGng off to his trundle bed,
He dreampt of his pretty toys,
Aud as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Lit.le Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, and the years
are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
And the smile of little face,
And they wonder. as waiting the long
years through,
In the dust of the little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.

to reduce the revenue was passed-a
bill cunningly devised to cut down
customs receipts by diyerting large
part of the Government revenue into
the pockets of individuals and into
treasures of trusts that had deserved
well of the Republican party by
helping to corrupt the ballot in its
interest. The surplus was annl,li-

followed. Whether the deficit was

tariff the deficit was created, and the

oBsoLE ETE FINANCIAL FICTION

AS the Pliladelph1a Times says, it
is time to drop some of the obsolete
ictions by which the current finan-
cial discussion is obscured. One of
these is the fiction that the bonds
authorized in the resumption act
were to provide fixed reserve of
$100,0e0,0o0 for the redemption of
greenback and for no other purpose.
Ii the act is construed in that liberal
way, the "gold reserve" was all used
up long ago.
The actual gold obtained by the
sale Of bonds was $92,OOO,0OO, and
since that time $97,6O0,OOO of
greenbacks have been redeemed of
$53,ooo,ooo of Treasury notes of
1890 have also been paid in gold.
Thus the s'reserve" has been entirely
used up for its original purpose and
nearly $6o.o0o,ooo in gold have been
used beside to maintain the credit
of the currency.
The $53,O0O,00O of gold used in
the redemption of notes issued in
the purchase of silver exposes an
other fction-that the uncoined
silver bullion is the "basis" Of these
notes. They, like the greenbacks,
are based on the entire resources of
the Treasury. They and all other
forms of the United States currency
are interchangeable and ledeemable
in gold.
The purpose of the resumption
act was simply to enable the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to meet all OBJ
ligations and keep the currency
of the United States at par.
It referred only to the greenbacks
because there was no other currency
in question at that time, and de-
ficiency in the general resources Of
the Treasury was not contemplated.
But in its purposes it applies entirely
to the present situation. It wac
meant to sustain all forms of cur
rency on the gold basis. To call in
question the authority of the Scores
tary under this act to issue bonds to
meet the obligations of the govern
ment, is simply to attack the credit
of the United States.

The night was clear, the sleighing good
The cutter seat not wide,
She snuggled close beneath the robe
To heI fond lovers side,
The horse was spirited and jumped
With frequent tugs and strains,
Until she innocently said:
"Do let me hold the reins!'
They're married now, perhaps because
She was SO helpful then,
She loves him well, and he loves her
Well. in the way of men:
And yet in ali their sweet delight
Cne sad thought makes him vince:
She held the relns that winters night,
She's held them ever since.

the advice and consent of the SEM
ate for their completion. The ap-
proYal of the Senate is an essential
part of the appointment, but the
initiative, the nomination, lies
with the President, and he has no
more right to surrender this funca
tiop, either to the Senate COLLECTS
lively or to Senators Individually
than he has to demand that the
Senate shall surrender its discre-
ton entirely to him.
The idea that the President
should not nominate or appoint a
citizen of any State without the
previous approval of the Senators
trou that State is a very old one.
1t has been the cause of some Of the
worst abuses of the appointing
power, some of the most serious
scandals in our politics, and some
Of the most bitter conffits between
the Executive and the Senate Sen.
ator Hill has renewed the cd fight
now, over the appointment to the
Supreme Court, in such a way as
to leave the President no slterna~
tive but to fight it out.
The Senate had an urquestion-
able right to reject the nomination
ut Mr.. Hornbiower, if the majors
ity believed that he was not CONS
petent for the high Office for which
he was selected. 1t would have the
same right to reject the nominal
tion of Mr.. Peckham if such a
pretext could be imagined. But Mr..
Peckham's position as a lawyer
and mar is too we'll established
to make that objection plausible,
and if this nomination shall also
be rejected it will.be recognized as
an attempt upon the part OF Sens
tors to arrogate to themselves not
only the right of confirmation or
rejection, but the right of selection
IS we'll.
This is an issue from which the
President cannot shrink. Apart
from the fact that no New York
lawyer could be found fit for the
judicial appointment who has not
made himself obnoxious to Senator
BILL by his disaproval of Judge
Maynard, Senator Hills attitude
has made any yielding to him inns
possible To appoint man agrees
able to him would be virtually a
surrender of Presidential daty to
partisan Vaccinations. Mr.. Cleve-
land was not elected President to
make friends with Senator Hill;
on the contrary his election was in
no small measure due to the fact
that Hill was his enemy; and there
is no other course open to him now
than to carry on the fight which
Hill has inyited to its conclusion. He
cannot force the Senate to confirm
his nominations, but he can cona
tinue to make nominations SO
strong that continued opposition
will cover the Senate with con-
tempt.-Thiladelphia Times.
