THERE are various things indicating
that the Southern farmer is to be
strictly in it this year. He has cut
down his cotton crop IA per cent. and
is likely to get good price for what
he raises. The wheat crop of the
country is going to be short, its condi-
ton the 1st of June showing II per
cent. against 80 per cent. June 1st,
1894; but the crop of the Southern
farmer, especially him of North
Carolina, is all right. The outlook OF
the corn crop OF the country 'sprom's-
ing, nowhere more so than in tie
Southern States. The prospect gener-
ally is for a year Of good crops and
good prices. The realization of this
hope will set the country up.-Charlot'e

TAX LEVY,

Payers.

Some Interesting Reading For Tax
Payers.
We take pleasure in laying before
our readers some facts gathered from
a report and statement made by the
Board of Commissioners and read be-
fore meeting of the Justices of the
Peace on the first Monday in June.
The Justices met to approve of the
tax levy as they had been accustomed
to do, but the last Legislature had
taken from them this power. The
Commissioners as a matter of courtesy
decided to go before the meeting of
magistrates and lay before them state
ment of the condition of the county and
what they propose to do as to levying
a tax and ask of the justices any sug-
gestion that they had to make. The
last exhibit shows as expended by the

DISEASES OF WOMEN
Will be Treated Free by DR.. Hartman
During the Summer Months.

During the Summer Months.
"Female diseases" is term which
has come, by constant use, to be
applied to all of that very distressing
class of affections which are peculiar
to the female organism. At least
three causes should be recognized. The
cause which is perhaps most frequent
is displacement Of the womb. The
second cause is congestion of one or
more of the pelvic passages. The
third cause is known as Inflammation
or liberation. Pe-ru-na should be
taken in tablespoonful doses before
each meal in all varieties and stages
of the disease. This dose should be
gradually increased afterseveral weeks
use of it to two tablespoonful. Vaginal
injections should be taken three times
each day, two or three quarts at each
injection.
Any woman wishing to become a
regular patient of DR.. Hartman should
send name, address, duration Of
disease and symptoms at once, and
specific directions for every detail Of
her treatment will be promptly sent.
The doctor will direct every item Of
the treatment free of charge. The
patient can obtain the necessary
medicines at the nearest drug store,
and every patient will be expected to
report once month. This gives every
woman in the United States chance
to receive the benefit of the extensive
experience of this renowned physician
in all forms of female diseases.

BIMETALLISM.

II tudy OC doouHHSO IH"e ''lS 'hoH
who wants money to enable him to
exchange his products or his days
work for the necessaries or luxuries of
life, is the man who pays the cost of
extravagant money schemes; and
bimetallism, if it shall be adopted, will
prove no exception to the rule.
Bimetallism has never existed in
practice in the worlds history. 1t has
been decreed by law, but whenever
two metals have been made legal
tender the cheaper has invariably
driven the dearer metal out of circula-
ton. In our own country gold was
undervalued from 1892 to 1884, and
we had nothing but silver, and cheap
foreign silver at that, as circulating
coin, and after that silver disappeared,
because, at the established ratio, silver
was too valuable to be coined into
dollars. At the present time, if the
Government should say that 16 ounces
of silver shall be accepted by the
wage GARNER, the professional man,
the merchant, and the manufacturer,
in return for services and goods that
are worth I ounce in gold, it would
cheat the producers and working
people of the country out of about 10
ounces OF silver on every such transac-
ton, for an ounce of gold is now worth
about "a ounces of silver. Perhaps
all the nations of the world together
might make 16 ounces ofsilver equiya-
lent to 81 ounces, but if the attempt
should be made, any one ofthe nations
might break the agreement, and then
all would be conf sion in the world S
monetary system. And again, if all
the governments of the world, agreeing,
can make 16 ounces equal to "a
ounces, why waste IS ounces? Why
not make 1 ounce equal to 349 Why
use silver or gold2 Why not adopt
the iron dollar ofthe ancient Spartans
l am not trying to discuss the
question of international bimetallism,
but simply to indicate the uncertainties
into which the adoption of such a
scheme would plunge US. International
bin1etallism is as much an intellectual
vice as is the game of chess when it is
played too much. Ingenious minds
like to speculate concerning it, and
they enjoy the excitement of chasing
their own fancies. But international
bimetallism is not a practical or
immediate issue. What this country
and the world want above all things,
and just now especially, when business
seems 10 be reviving, is to leave existing
monetary conditions as they are, so
far as the metals are concerned. Above
all else, everything that is uncertain is
dangerous.-Harper's Weekly.

The Justices passed resolution COM

approval, mot Officially Of the proposed
action of the Board of Commissioners.
The Commissioners then stated that
they appreciated the approval of the
Justices of the county and they were
attempting to run the county economi-
cally and that the Justices could be a
great help to them and the county by
intoxicating the idea in their several
neighborhoods that man should be
paid no more for doing work for the
county than for an individual, and that
this was the test which the Board en-
deayored to apply to all bills.

GOOD ROADWAlS.

An exchange writing on the subject
of good roadways says:
Good streets and good roads help
not only the looks Of the town or
section in which they are located, but
they have an economic value that is
not fully appreciated. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that horse can
draw three times as much on hard,
paved road as he can on soft ground,
and consequently when the streets or
country roads are not paved there are
two thirds more horse power employed
than would be necessary TO do the
same work if the streets and roads
were paved. Considered from an
economic standpoint, without any
consideration for the draft animals,
this means the keeping and feeding of
three horses or mules when one would
do, an investment of two-thirds more
money than is absolutely necessary in
that kind of stock, and two-thirds
more in the cost of feeding. Consid-
ering the large number of draft
animals employed in doing the hauling
in town and country, We have faint
conception of what this would amount
to in the aggregate. Cities of course
pay attention 10 this matter and
generally their streets are pretty well
paved. but they all do not, especially
in the South, where there IS too little
attention given to it, some of them
contenting themselves by paving few
of the principle streets, and in the
rural districts it doesn't receive one
tenth the attention it should receive.

times. No one can tell how soon it may
be needed 1t costs but trihe and may
be the means of saving much suffering and
perhaps the life OF SOME member of the
