CHINESE BANK NOTES.

the CuFfoocv.
Chinese bank notes are more like prom
issory notes than our bank notes There
Is not and never has been . national
bank and notes are not used rs curren-
cy to any extent The banker merely
writes the amount ON the note and
puts his private seal or chop over it.
Such notes are made out for all sumo
from five 10 twenty thousand taels, and
the Chinese banker never goes back ON
his signature. He pays the notes when
they are presented in silver or gold.
The silver is usually paid according 70
weight, in bumps the shape Of toy bath
tube.. ranging in value all the way
Fom one to fifty dollars. The usual
size is worth about fifty dollars, and ii
weighs about i've pounds. The gold is
thine in long thin cakes, and Is twenty
SafAts fine.
The banker stamps with his private
seal,every piece Of silver he pays out,
sDa even the Mexican dollars are
aaxked thus with India ink.
Every big bank or company has .
man who takes all of the silver dollars
that come in and fits them into holes
made in . board, 90 that when they lie
on them their surface is just level with
the board. He then takes . brush and
water and washes them ~ white and
clean ~ though they had Just come
from the mint He now stamps his
chop ON each Of them, and this means
that he guarantees their payment
Any one who has been in China win
see the necessity Of this. There are NO
shrewder counterfeiters in the world
than the Chinese, and they are espe-
cislly adept in the plugging Of coin.
The other day IN American got
silver dollar In trade 1t Hankow, and
attempted TO pass it ut the bank there
He was told It was not good, and upon
his questioning the matter the Chinese
cashier sent for . candle and Lit il. He
then held the coin over it and 10! In .
IL began to melt. The sides
fell on and in the center there was .
piece of copper. The counterfeiters
had split > genuine coin and had hol-
lowed out the two pieces ON the inside
90 that the copper could be fitted into
them. They were then patched to
gether 50 neatly that only the expert
enced ear Of the Chinese shro6 could
detect the fraud.-Philadelphia TimeA

HAVING The NOSE BURNED OUT.
The Doctors Call 1t Ehinomania, but Don't
Always Recommend IL.

The Doctors Call 1t ihinomania, but DOM
Always Recommend 1t.
Rhinomania is the medical name
of a new craze the doctors are tell.
ing about If man can't breathe
easily, or if his nasal functions refuse
to do the work allotted by nature,
the proper thing to do is to have the
nose burned out. The people who
want this done to their olfactories
are known to the profession as rhino
maniacs. One of the first notable
instances Of rhinomania was Pa
Corbin, a famous Tale oarsman and
football player, who few years ago,
being unable to breathe easily while
in the boat, submitted to an opera
ton upon his nose. The operation
was performed by prominent up
town physician, but instead of cau-
teriZing or burning out the nose part
of the bone was cut out, and larger
aperture for breathing was the re-
suit.
Nowadays the same result is OBJ
tained by burning away the mem
branous tissue near the apex of the
nose by means of small galvanic
battery As a rule, doctors will not
recommend so heroic treatment for
nasal distractions. but will try to
find a remedy IN another way. A
writer in The Medical Record. how
ever, says that young practitioners
do not let an opportunity slip by to
saw or burn away a protuberant
membrane or to drill air passages
into an unnaturally large formation
of bone. Old heads in the profession,
on the other hand, are slow to do
this because they recognize that the
nasal growth performs the important
function of moistening and warming
the air inhaled
The operation very often defeats
the purpose for which it was intend
ed, especially when a large piece of
the membrane is removed. In cutting
away the membrane tiny saws and
chisels are used, and generally the
subject Is placed under an an8sthetic.
But the man whose nasal breath
ing spaces are choked up will not LIS
ten to any other remedy than that
afforded by one of these methods-in
other words, he demands immediate
relief and is willing TO take his
chances on its being successful.
When he reaches this stage the doc
tors put him down as rhinomani-

A physician who died at the age of
107 made known before his death the
secret of his longevity. All he did In
order to reach that age was TO place

evident that turning the head toward

The influence of the magnetic cur.

long ago, and in 1865 DR. Clarick at
Gottingen used to cure the toothache
by turning to the north the face of
the person on whom he operated and
touching the aching tooth with the
south pole of a magnetic bar. If, in
order to live to old age, it is sufficient
to sleep from north to south, 1t is

Butte Receives Very bad Blow at "a

Colorado smeIter.

Butte, April 26.-One OF the most de
structive fires that has occurred in Butte
for years yesterday afternoon totally de-
stroyed the big Colorado smelter near
the southwestern part Of the city. Ow.
ing to strong wind and Inadequate
water supply the fire got beyond control
Of the men, and practically burned itself
out. although hard fighting ard good
management saved the concentrator and
the greater portion Of the matte fur
naces building. The exact origin Of the
fire is said TO be unknown. II started
somewhere at the No. calciner. at the
east end OF the smelter near the Office
building. No. calciner was the only
one IN which wood was used for fuel.
and II is supposed that the fire started
in some chips at the mouth Of the fur.
mace and was conveyed to the low build
ing. When the fire was first discovered
almost the whole east end of the build
ing was ablaze. The company's fire de
partment was called out. but five or ten
valuable minutes were lost in trying TO
make connections with plug which was
within thirty feet OF the place where
fire started. The nut on the plug was
rusted 50 tightsthat II could not be re.
moved. and water had 10 be secured
from the concentrator. This supply was
entirely inadequate, and by the:time the
water was turned on half Of the big
smelter was in tlnmes
The amount ofidamage can, only be
estimated. as Superintendent Williams
is confined 10 his room and too'ill to at.
tend to the matter Other members Of
the company. estimate the loss all the
way from 100000 to slJOOOO. but the
extent of il will depend very much upon
the damage done 20 the calciners. The
hope is expressed that as .yery little
wator was thrown on them. the fire did
not damage them much, and in that case
the loss will be confined TO the building
the machinery and the engine and ore
sheds. The loss Is covered by insurance
II is stated that the company viii at
once begin to rebuild. but it will take
all OF six months to get smelling started
again. and in the meantime not only will
the smelter be idle, but the Gagnon
mine, from which the smelter has been
supplied, will also have to be shut down
The fire. at this time especially, is a
great misfortune to Butte.

PAUSE AND REFLECT.
Do Net Permit PRINCIPLES Traded

Do Net Permit PRINCIPLES Traded
Upon by Party Bosses.
From the Tarboro southerner.
We call upon the good men who
have united themselves with the
Populist party with the sincere 7 ur-
pose of reforming certain supposed
evils to pause and reflect well before
giving their approval to the pro-
posed fusion with the Republican
party in this State. Are they willing
to surrender their principles thus
early in their history as party ?
Would they purchase success at such
a sacrifice?
That Butler and Pritchard should
be willing to barter their party prin-
ciples for seats in the U. S. Senate is
not surprising, but it will greatly
surprise US if the thoughtful and self
respecting elements of both parties
shall tamely submit to have their
principles traded upon by these
party bosses for their self aggran-
diZeIutnt.
Ii the conscientious and sincere
believers in the principles of the Pop
ulist party will look at this matter
in its true light-be honest with
themselves-they must see how false
and foul the act that unites a party
organized for reform with a party
entrenched behind the very principles
which the Populists denounce. How
can a party observe that golden
maxim-be true to itself-and pursue
such q course?

are slow to acknowledge it. Make it
a rule to try the home merchant first.
Then we should manufacture in the
South, as far as possible, everything
that we need. With a constant
stream of money flowing towards
the North, year after year, with our
cotton crop as the only appreciable
return, it is wonderful that we have
made the progress we have.
This spirit of keeping our money
at home should not be confined to
patronizing home merchants and
establishing and maintaining manu-
featuring enterprises, but our mer-
chants, in turn, should encourage
Southern wholesale houses.
Thousands and thousands of dol
lars are sent North every year for the
one item of life insurance. This
ought to be kept at home by organ
izing Southern insurance companies
with sufficient capital to inspire con-

Our immediate section is known as
a grass and grain country and yet
month after month, car loads of hay
corn, etc., are brought here from the
West. Most of our flour is made in
another section and most of ouI
meat is shipped over hundreds o
miles of rail. These things ought
not SO to be.
We live in the best section of the
Union-the lines have fallen to us in
pleasant places. We have the best
climate and the most varied natural
resources and when we learn to
thoroughly appreciate our advant
ages and use them a brighter day
will dawn and our fair Southland
will be on the high road to that sue
cess which her environments SO emf

KERNERsvILLE, Oct. 2-Mr. Geo.

here on a visit to his wife's parents.
Mr.. G. T. Snider, one of our most
| successful tobacco raisers, is off for
Winston today with a load of the
| weed to try the market. Mr.. Snider
has some fine tobacco and we predict
| for him some fine prices.
We have the information that
Leak Bros. & Hasten will in few
days go into the large brick factory
of beard and Roberts where they will
have the advantage of steam and
manufacture a few Thousand pounds
more of tobacco. We imagine this
will be GLAD tidings to the large mum :
Der of hands employed by this firm
and hope they will operate through
out the winter.
Mr.. l.. W. Fulton, who carried a
load of tobacco to Winston yester-
day, says that it is bringing high
prices, he having sold for 40 odd
dollars per hundred. On his way
home he treated himself to a bran
new wagon.
Miss Lura Beard leaves for New
York in a few days to continue her
studies in elocution and we wish her
all the success that she SO justly
merits.
Mr.. j. Henry Thorpe, of IredelI
county, who taught our public
school here last winter, came in on
the train yesterday morning on a
visit to friends. Mr. Thorpe is a
popular school teacher and during
his stay here the past winter made
many friends who gladly see him on
our streets again.
1t goes without question that Nat
Hubbard has the largest sweet pota-
toe patch and the largest potatoes
of any one in this section. He has
about one acre in loose sandy soil,
and the potatoes are large and
plentiful. Measuring one. of the
medium size this morning it was
found to be 81 inches round length
wise and 15h inches round and
weighed Our pounds. 1t is thought
by competent judges that there will
be gathered from this acre of ground
one hundred and seventyfive bushels
of potatoes. There were 5 500 slips
set and have seen as many as nine
nice potatoes taken from one vine.

The DIR. was sixty seven years old
and had lived in East Bend and the
community for over forty seven
years. He has had great success in
his profession and was a man of wide
influence and high responsibility.
The whole county bows down in
deepest sorrow at the loss of so

were held in the Friends church on
Sunday evening and were conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Sampson. The
largest crowd that perhaps ever
gathered together in Yadkin county
of respect to the remains of this be-
loved and bemourned citizen and
friend. The crowd was estimated at
any where from fifteen to twenty-five
hundred.
DIR. Benbow died in the faith and
was faithful and honored member
of the Friends church. His remains
were inferred in the Baptist grave

buried. Another distinguished and
