AN EXPLODED

The press has frequently ex-
posed the fallacy of the asse1 ton
that the price of farm values in
this country has varied directly
with the price of silver.
The relative prices of silver
and farm products is traced over
a long series of years, and the
figures, taken from the records,
show how utterly absurd is the
statement that the price of farm
products and stock is regulated
by the price of silver.
GA careful examination of the
facts surrounding the course of
prices for cotton develops the
fact that from 1864, when cotton
was selling in New York for so
cents in gold a pouna, it fell
steadily from this high war level
until 1873, when the quantity
produced first exceeded the ante
bellum maximum, and the price
again reached the level of 1860,
just as we learn from this exami-
nation that in 1873the price of cot
ton had, frorn,the highest point al
ready fallen 81 cents a pound, or
700 lei ~centrmore than it has fall
len since. Was this fall of "a
cents prior to 1873 due to other
causes, while the fall since 1873
is due alone to the fall in the
value of silver?"

Pikeville Letter.

PIKEvILLE, N. c., April 23rd
1894.
Dear 4rgus:-Planting cotton
is the order Of the day with our
farmers just now.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Aycock, of
the Fremont section spent Sun
day with relatives in our town.
The people of Pikeville are re-
queSted to meet at Alliance hall
next Sunday evening at 3 O'Clock
to organize a Sunday school.
Her many friends VII De S,ad
to learn that Miss Rena Massey,
who has been quite sick for some
days, is improving.
Miss Fannie Ezzell returned
home Sunday from a visit to Miss
Della Edgerton in the Pinkney
section.
A Bachelor who lives a few
miles out in the country was
sadly disappointed last Sunday
when he came to town to see his
''best girl and found her alb
sent. After staying in town
very short while he left for home
looking as pathetic as if he ha6
been to a funeral. We know the
bachelor very well but promised
not to divulge his name.

Berlin's Clean Streets.

The streets are well kept. Der
lin is fast becoming a city Of asp
halt, and you can drop your
handkerchief almost anywhere
and pick it up without soiling it.
The city takes care of its own
sewers and it has a number OF
farms on. the outskirts over
which these street sweepings are
scattered by the paupers of the
city. The sewage is pumped
out of the sewers onto the farms,
and through this the land has
become the most fertile in Ger
many. A large part of the clean
ing Of the streets is done by boys,
who get something like twenty
five cents a day, and who are at
work on every block gathering
up the dirt as it falls and on a
wet day, scrubbing off the streets
with rubber broomS or a sort of
rubber hose.
These boys sometimes work in
gangs, and a half dozen of them
will take up a street and push
the dirt into the sewers, leaving
the road as clean as though it
were scrubbed. IF this scrub
bing is done at night clean sand
is scattered over the streets to
prevent the horses or men from
falling, and the whole city, in
fact, is run in the interests of the
