TO WRITE THEIR HISTORY.
Histories of the North Carolina Regi-
ments in the Confederate Service.


At the last meeting of the Confeder-
ate Veterans Association a resolution
was passed requesting Judge Walter
Clark to procure the best man in each
of the North Carolina regiments In the
civil war to write a history of the regl-
ment in which he served. 1t was con
templated that the sketch Of each regl-
ment, averaging, say ten pages or more,
would make a volume. of $50 to 1,OOO
pages. Written by the pens OF men
whose swords had made that history IL
will be an enduring and authentic o
ument to the generation who sacrificed
themselves for their State in the great
Civil War.
After consultation, as far as possible
with the survivors of each regiment
the following historians for the
respective regiments have accepted
and are at work. Many OF these ex'
cellent sketches have already been
completed and sent him.
The following is the list of historians
which will be read with interest. The
survivors of each regiment are reques-
ted to furnish any data they may have
to the historian of their regiment be-
low named:

Mr.. CleVeldnd'S IS MOneu,

The president of the United States
always uses new money. He never
gets any old notes, except in change
when making purchases. HIS salary
is paid him in installments of $4, l6G. sc
and the TIRE asurer always makes it a
point to send him notes of the latest
issue. Mr.. Cleveland, as his predeces-
sors have done, keeps private bank
account with Riggs & Co., and makes
a deposit regularly the first of every
month, reserving enough from his sal
airy to pay current expenses, and set
ting good example by putting the
rest aside for rainy day.

country editor, using the phrase as
published in very large towns. In
Illinois the editor of newspaper
published in county seat or in d
prosperous village is parsonage of
distinction. 1t is long since, he ceased
to be dependent upon 1.-The county
printing" or henchman of the coun-
ty politicians. He has his profitable
subscription list and his more profit
able advertising patronage. He thinks
clearly and speaks boldly, and as a
rule he has constituency that be-
lieves in him and stands by him.
1t is an idle compliment to say that
the editorial matter of many of the
country newspapers is good enough
for New York, Chicago, Boston, or
Philadelphia. Many of the editorial
writers on the metropolitan press have
served in county offices. The country
editor of today, all but invariably, is
a man of wide reading, of exact cul.
ture, of good character, and of con.
siderable Importance.
We are quite sure that this is the
opinion of every editor of every metro
politan journal of the country, and we
reprint it as the opinion of the Com
mercial Appeal. The country editor
does not realize. we are convinced, low
often his brother journalist of the city
turns to him for advice and for indica.
tions as to the drift of popular senti-
ment. He has part to play, not less
important than any other in the cast.
and there is no doubt that his influence
in affairs is growing. There is more
chance for personal distinction in
the wise conduct of country news
paper than in employment on the met
ropolitan press. 1t is merely mat
ter of intelligence and honesty. The
country editor has a less befogged at
mosphere. He is ena bled to ascertain
very readily the neighborhood opinion,
and every country newspaper is light
in the wilderness. The people of a
county should regard it An esp ,cial
duty to maintain there local papers
prosperously. They should regard
these publications as among the nee
essaries of life. Through them the
county electorate is made Influential
and the real interests of the country
conserved

Let the Figures Speak

Yesterday morning the Register
gave the figures TO show what changes
would have to be made in the curren-
cy system of the United States to aug
ment the .otal per capita SO that 1T
would equal that of France. Viewed
from another point, the currencies of
the two countries present an interest
ing feature. Allowing the present per
capita circulation of tie United States
(S25.O7) to remain as given in the sta
tistics before us, what changes would
have to be made to adjust this sum on
the French basis? We repeat the per
capita distribution given in the pre-
vious article:
Gold. Silver. Paper. Total
France. .... S2l54 Sl2. S5 81 81 $780,
United States. .9.O9 9.OS go 25.O7.
From the foregoing the relative pro-
portions of the three different me-
diums of circulation is found to be as
follows:
Gold. Silver. Paper.
France. $50 $50 Ga
United States. -. 36.3 36.2 27.2
Thus, the free silver advocates who
find so much that is admirable in the
monetary system of France will see
that the United States now has more
silver in circulation proportionately to
gold than France, and several times
more paper money. This fact should
put quietus on the loud talk of sill
verites about this country being on
gold basis, whereas France is on the
double standard system. With no
change in the circulation a readjust-
ment of the aggregate amount of cur
rency in this country to the French ba-
sis would require an addition of $780,
COO. .OOO to the gold circulation, de-
crease of sl2, ,OOO, 900 in the silver cir
culat;on and the requirement of $685.
600, 900 of the paper circulation, yet,
any attempt of the true bi-metallists
to accomplish this in order 10 please
the free silver worshippers of French
finance, is roundly denounced as
scheme on the part of the gold bugs
to bankrupt the country Mobile Reg
lister.

The Cnuntru Press

1t having come to pass that the coun-
try editors of Illinois were about to
visit Chicago, tue Inter Ocean of that
city pays it's respects to them in the
following terms:
Chicago has no truef or more able
friends than the editors of the news
papers that are published in the coun-
ty seats, and in the other towns and
cities of the State. TO them this city
is indebted for much pressure put upon

Whu Gold Goes Out.
Reasons for the Effiux of Gold From the
United states.

Reasons for the Effiux of Gold From the
United States.
An eminent authority, writing in
the February number OF the Forum,
undertakes to give the reason for the
efflux of gold from the United States
to Europe.
The underlying reason given is the
want of confidence in the financial con-
dition of this country. He shows that
the balance of trade in favor of the
United Seates with Europe, so far as
commercial transactions are concerned
is $264 .O00,o ,o0o. But to offset this are
the following good items in favor of
the foreigners:
Amount spent by American tourists
in Europe annually, SlO0,o0o,0o
amount paid foreign ships carrying
merchandise, 800, 0,O00,0 900: amount paid
foreigners as dividends on American
securities, SIS, 200, 900; amount due for
eigners on profits of business done in
this country, S75, 100000. This makes
IL total of $3.50, 900, 900 against our com
mercial balance of S26i, ,000,0 900, the
diff erence in favor of the foreigners,
therefore, is $50, ,0OO, 900.
If business in this country were as
good as it has been in years past, this
balance would be mainly reinvested
in American enterprises, but since the
present depression set in, it has been
Withdrawn to foreign countries. 1t
has been principally drawn in the
shape of gold, as that is the money OF
Europe.
This state of affairs will doubtless
continue until more prosperous era
sets in on this side of the Atlantic.
The gold will then be allowed to re-
main here or will be returned for in
vestment in American securities or
business enterprises.

Princess Pauline Dead,

Princess Pauline, who arrived in
New York Decem Der %, last, and who
since that time has been the object of
great interest to thousands in this city,
died Feb. Is. Princess Pauline was
born in Holland in 1874, and during
the past nine years had been seen and
foudled by nearly all the kings and
queens of Europe. She was brought
to this country under two-years' con-
tract by Manager F. f. Proctor. The
princess was exactly II inches
high and weighed but s1l pounds.
Two weeks before her arrival she had
an attack of of the grip and was laid
up for few days. She soon recovered
and on January 80, gave a special re-
ception, attended by nearly hundred
we'll known physicians and surgeons.
She was taken i'll again week ago,
and was pronounced by DR.. j. d. Ba-
gel to be suffering from bronchitis, but
is was not until Thursday that her life
was despaired of. She was placed in a
little white casket, no longer than
would be required for l-year-o.d
child. The remains will be taken TO
Holland for burial

Good Showing,

The letter written by Secretary Car
Isle recently to the Senate, in answer
to its inquiries. is a complete and sat
isfactory vindication of Democracy.
The Secretary declares that the sur
pins of receipts over expenditures for
the year 1895 will be see 200. 600, which
means that the Wilson Bill provides
ample revenue for the support of the
government, and tat our national
treasury is ia no danger of soon be-
coming empty. The Republicans have
another of their arguments exploded.

Supervisors,

A full Board of Supervisors for the
county is to be elected this year, as
well as full Legislative ticket, and
all county and state officers. Having
no AK to grind, we think we are as
we'll prepared as anybody in the coun-
ty to talk out in school, and we are
going to do it so plainly, that no one
who reads will require the aid of a
Webster's Unabridged to enable him
to understand us fully We write as a
private voter and tax payer and not as
candidate. for, however willing we
might be to serve the dear people in an
emergency, we do not want thing
they've got, except hog and hominy
and our just dues. We are going to
tell the voters few tru tbs however,
which they can ponder at their leisure
or put in their pipes and smoke if they
want to. For years, people have re
garded the Office Of Supervisor as an
unimportant, and really insignificant
position, the duties of which required
neither brains, judgment, nor business
talent. and they were never more mis-
taken in their lives. A Supervisor is
really bigger and more important
man to the people of a county than a
member of the Legislature. Neither
of them may think so, But it is so new
ertheless. The Legislator goes to
jackson, and is one of large number
to legislate for the whole State, and
sometimes he does very little more
than vote and draw his salary. He
hardly leaves a
Footprint on the sands of time
The Supervisor however, is in direct
and immediate intercourse with the
tax payers, and is their representative
and the protector and guardian of their
personal and pecuniary interests and
welfare. Supervisors are free and un-
trammelled SO long as they keep within
the limits of the law, and if they go
beyond those limits they are rarely
ever called to account. They are
therefore, to all intents and purposes,
the sole guardians and manipulators
of the interest of the people of the
county, and may waste or save as they
elect. All this being true-and no one
will dispute 1.-THE people of several
districts Tor Beats) of each county
would but subserve their own interests
if they would exercise the utmost care
in selecting the very best men among
them, to serve on the Board of Super
visors. Although we prefer good Dem
ocrats when they can be had, yet, pol
itics need not necessarily cut any tg-
ure in the selection of Supervisor.
Ouly let him be a substantial, nervy,
sensible, honest man, who can see be-
yond his own nose in looking at public
affairs, and aim and study to promote
the welfare Of the whole people, with
out regard to his personal interests.
As we have already said, we have no ak
to grind and only desire to see the
public good promoted. There are good
men, and the right sort of men, in
every district in the county and these
are the men who ought to be assigned
to duty upon the Board of Supervisors.
Perhaps one may object, here or there,
but, rest assured he is the very man
that is wanted and needed, and no
good citizen has the right to decline
the performance of duty to which he
is called by those who would impose
it upon him, and who thereby mani
fest their trust and confidence. Think
of it.-Sardis Reporter

There is one medicine which every
family should he provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain Is Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe pain
or burn or scland may be promptly re-
lieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has TO be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which IN
sures cure in about one third the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate attention, be-
fore the parts become swollen, and
when Chamberlain Pain Balm is APP
piled it will heal them without mat
ter being formed, and without leave
ing scar. A sore throat may be cured
in one night. A piece of flannel dam
pened with this liniment and bound on
over the seat of the pain, will cure lam
back or pain in the side or chest in twen-
ty-four hours 1t is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons
afflicted with this disease will be delight
ed with the prompt relief from pain
which affords, and can be depended upon
to effect complete cure. For sale by
