edged error as far as it was such,
but most of our statement in regard to
the silver matter was true, and we will
not call it error if we live to be as old
as Mathusla. The Observer ought to
''fess up" in this matter. We have as
much IS we IA do to keep up with our

VARIOUS WAYS OF HANGING A
SCYTHE.

AS a youth Daniel Webster wassome-
what opposed to physical labor, but he
was quick at repartee. While moving
he complained to his father that his
scythe was not properly hung. Hang
it to suit yourself, Dan," replied the
p%aternal. The boy Immediately hung
it on a tree near by. There, father,
it's hung to suit me now."-West Coast

1t is a fact that there are now about
300, 900 more persons drawing pensions
than were enlisted as soldiers on the
Union side at any time during the war
and it is almost thirty years since
the war ended. 1t is plain that to re-
form this evil a party of, for and by
the people must be put in power. There
is no middle ground. Those who have
been tried were found wanting.

The Charlotte Observer says "taint
So" and refuses to consider any proof
going to show that the Democratic
party has pretended to, or really
favored free coinage all along since the
war, though its editor has wildly and
cheerfully supported men and plat
forms advocating the silver doctrine.

PETITIONS WITH BOOTS On.

Capitalists and monopolists have
been sending petitions to Congress with
boots on; now the commonweal is try
ing it. We are afraid the wealers
haven't the persuasive stuff that makes
the capitalists petitions so effective.
The peoples petitions ought to have
commissions as lawmakers in their
hands as well as boots on.-MSSsouri

GROVER IT.

Whether the United States ''are" or
lis" has been the topic of debate in the
Senate. The Supreme Court, the Con-
stitution and other good authorities
say ''are;" but Cleveland says lis" in
the Queen Lii message, and that prob
ably settles it for some people.

The Illinois State Prohibition plat

The reform leaven has been at work.
Senator Ransom claims that he makes
more cotton on his farm in Northamp-
tor county than any farmer in the
State. Perhaps he does, but that don't
keep him from serving Wall street and
other combinations.
The Mocksville Times says: "The
Populists in Congress are between the
devil and the deep, blue sea-" That is
true. When they are at the Capitol
they are just between the White House
and the Atlantic coast.

We regret that Mr.. J. B. Osborne
failed to reach his three appointments

his absence, but he or some n should

An Ohio evening paper says those
who only read the morning papers in
a city are a day behind in the worlds
history. Correct. Some of them are
not only a day, but ten years behind.
Some morning and evening papers, too,
are taking their readers backward all
the time.
The State press is floating an item to
the effect that Isaac Fl. Smith, col, New
Berne, sent the first contribution of S.
received by the Vance Memorial AS
ISOLATION. It seems dat de white
folks are rather slow about attesting
the love they had protested for Sena-
tor Vance.
The Associated Press reports that
Coxey's men steal from one to three
trains nearly every day. If such be the
case there isn't a railroad between
Washington and California that can
run a train. Such yarns are disgusting
and cause us to doubt any statements
made by toe association of liars.

AN UPRIGHT JUDGE.

A Judge in a Sioux City, Iowa, court
indicated the dignity of the court by
coming down from the bench and

the court lied. He then remounted

save the trouble of collecting it prompt

GOLD STILL GOES

Export of gold bullion from the
United States from January let to May
1st this wear was $40, 1913, 57s, while the
imnorts were 81, O25, 928, showing an
excess of exports over imports OF $751;
967. $50. Verify it seemeth that, not
withstanding we have set down fiat on
the gold basis, we r not able to hold
the precious metal. 1t still goes just
as before. +
BANKING IN NEW YORK.
We notice bids on stock of New York
banks, as quoted in the New York
Times Of May 9Th, stocks of 81 banks
were bid for, and the average bid was
1880 b41 per 800 share. The lowest bid
was par for Third National" The
highest was $4,1OO for Chemical, "
while First National" vas 81, 800 and
"Fifth Avenue was $4,000. Still the
bankers are demanding more help to
make their business profitable.
RAILRoADING.
The totalface, or par, valued all the
railroad stocks in the United States is
officially stated at "a, 1853, 119, O73. Stocks
of 40 of the gilt edge" dividend-pay-
ing corporations have been on sale on
the New York Stock Exchange for
years and quoted daily. March, 1898,
these stocks sold at an average OF SO
cents on the dollar. March, 1894, they
sold at an average Of less than 48
cents to the dollar, while the average
of all other railroad stocks in the
country was less than 25 cents on the
dollar. The 40 corporations above rep
resented stock to the amount of 81, $685.
526, 4O3, which at 48 cents, the average
price in Mar, would be.$ $40, 492, 673 A
This leaves So, ia, $685.
$40 at 25 cents ...... 793, 64S, 167. 5O
Or a total market
value at 80. 80 cts. 81, 5O4, lao, $40. "a
It is said, and we presume it is true,
that the holders of a majority of the
stock control the roads. This being the
case then $3.50, 200, 900 worth of stock,
at the market value, would control the
roads of the country.
BANKS AND RAILROADS.
The average market value of railroad
stocks in this country isreally less than
$50. 90 per 800 share. Stocks of 81 of
the New York City banks were bid on
on the New York Stock Exchange May
5th. The average bid was $3.50 54B on
the 800 share. The lowest bid was
par, the highest 81, 100. Thus it is seen
that to purchase the average New York
City bank stock with the average rail
road stock of the country, you would
pay 81, 163 in railroad stocks for 800
of New York bank stock.

DIR. Watts was the author of many
hymns, but the learned and revered
versifer was never in truer tune than
when he wrote the lines we quote.
He saw the class he described, just
as they are seen now, and many of
the causes which in those days Great
ed poor people, operates in exactly
the same manner today-the great
est cause was undoubtedly IN
JUDICIOUS BUYING, mad waste
of money in pursuit of the will o the
wisps of trade, neglect of opportun-
tiles, not taking advantage of
QUICK SALES and SMALL PRO
FIT system. Goods sold on that
basis mean a positive saving to you.
There is no denying this, and no one

WHAT is APPETITE ?
Healthy Appetite Teaches Us
When We Ought to Eat.
without Appetite We Would Not Eat,
We Would Not Live.

We Would Not Live.
Convalestents are always hungry; they are
growing well Children have great appettes;
they are growing big. Healthy people have
good appetites: their stomachs need food to re-
place the waste issue and fat consumed by the
body.
If your appetite is bad, you are sick. Your
stomach does not wish to work. Your store of
fat win decrease You will get thinner. You
will sooner or later waste away. That is con-
sumption.
If you do not waste away, but remain always
thin, you still laying yourself open to the at
tacks of disease. Fat is nothing but natures
reserve force or fuel. You cannot be absolutely
healthy unless you are normally fat.
What makes Paskola the great appetizer is
the fact that aids the stomach to digest all other
food is itself at once absorbed into the system
and thus leaves the stomach perfectly empty.
AS soon as this happens hunger occurs. The rea-
son so many dyspeptics have no appetite is that
their stomachs are constantly fullOf imperfectly
digested food.
There is only one way to permanently remedy
this and that is by the use of Paskola. Paskola
being pre-digested food is directly absorbed,
and gives the stomach no work 1t brings back
a healthy appetite and will make even con
sumptive healthy and fat.

How Blessed IL is for the Brethren so TO
Dwell.
From the Chicago Times, Dem
We have not a Democratic administra-
ton in anything but name.
From the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, DEM
Altogether, it is a very critical moment
in Democratic history.
From the Petersburg Index Appeal, Dem.
The gravity of the Democratic situation
at Washington has been plain for some
time.
From the Savannah Press, DEM
When good Democrats and capable men
can be found they should be put into office
And they should receive their commissions
without further delay.
From the Lockport Daily sun, Dem.
The general result of the charter cleo
tions is strongly, in fact overwhelmingly,
Republican. We should think that few
more object lessons of this sort would be
understood at Washington as a notice that
something is wrong. 1t is perfectly evil
dent that if the present ill-advised and
suicidal policy of Furnishing lifelong Dem
ocrats and workers were to be continued a
uCIlc lOISel IL 10 iucSllOudOH NlltJntl
Texas could be carried for the Democrats.
From the New York World
The people of the country should
thoughtfully consider what has been going
on in the Senate during the last six weeks.
A great party's name has been prostituted.
Its promises have been treated with con-
tempt. Its surging forward march of vic
tory has been turned backward in a rout.
The verdict of the American people, as
rendered at the polls, has been reversed by
thronging lobbyists and rapacious senate
rial agents of protected industries. The
clock of reform has been set back by the
sugared fingers of its pretended friends.

Vermont is Tough state to Beat.

Editor Of The Phdnir:-V Vermont never
allows herself to be outdone in fair con
test. In your issue of March % there is
an interesting paragraph about Alvra and
Elmira Fife of Peterboro, n. H., who were
born Aug. II, 1911, and are said to be
"the oldest living twins in America it is
believed" | have the pleasure of calling
occasionally upon two estimable ladies,
Miss Eliza Ann Thomas and Mrs. Sarah
Ann Gary, twin sisters, who were born
June 8, 1910, and who were, therefore,
well-grown children of II months when
the Misses Fife first saw the light of day.
Their father was born in Concord, Mass,
in 1870, and was with his parents in Lex
ington at the time of the battle, of which
