Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin

The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin,
issued by the North Carolina State
Weather Service, for the week end
ing Monday, May eth, indicate but
little progress either in farm work or
the growth of crops, on account of
the continued cool, rainy weather.
The rainfall for the week was APP
parently not generally excessive,
but the spring has been so wet that
a small amount of rain makes the
ground too wet 10 plow.: But few
correspondents report the week a
good one for work, while all report
slow growth of crops. TIE tempe
nature was decidedly below normal
Light frost occurred over a large
portion OF the State on the 23rd, but
did very slight damage. Showers
occurred nearly everywhere on four
days of the week. Entire fields of
cotton are being plowed up on some
farms and corn or cotton planted
again. Corn is slow to recover from
the effects of recent frost: Melon
vines seem to be the special prey of
insects and they are being ruined in
many places. The cool weather is
very favorable for the work of cut
worms and potato bugs. Trans
planting of tobacco went on fairly
well during the week, and most of
the crop is set out.

The Blue and the Gray.

From the Atlanta Constitutional
The South haters and their few
allies in the Grand Army of the Re
pull lie are in bad humor over tie
announcement that Il number of the
most distinguished federal army
officers will tie present at the HOus-
ton Confederate eEcampfnent and
the dedication at Chicago of the
monument to the Confederate dead.
Department Commander Thayer,
,,f Massachusetts, protests against
the Chicago monument aud declares
that 1.-THE blood of our martyred
lincoln and our noble Grant cries
out against such blasphemy." But
many of Thayer's comrades do not
agree with him. They remember
Lincoln's words: "With malice to-
ward none, with charity for all, )" and
they also remember that Grant said
in thelast paragraph of his mem oirs
81 feel that we are on the eve of q
new era, when there is to be great
harmony between the federal and
the confederate
The fact is the Thayers are not il
it. They belong to the dead past
! and now lag superfluous on tbs
stage. The overwhelming majority
of the Americans now living, whethe
they took part in the war or not
are done with its old issues and pas
sions. They see no profit and NJ
happiness in sectionalism, and the,
are willing to clasp hands in /
patriotic fraternalism that will max
the country more powerful and pros
porous.

The Veterans at Houston.
Richmond Times.

INlCIlIhVIil
There is something very touching
in the assembling of the old war
worn veterans from every part of the
Contederacy at Houston, Texas.
They are all on the downward course
of life, yet whenever they come to-
gether, the electric spark that bound
them as one thirty years ago in the
dangers that confronted them and
the suffering and privations that
they had to endure, flashes from one
to the other again, and makes them
for the time that same unconquer-
able host of which the world never
| before saw the like and will never see
the like again.
IL is well for these men to have
their annual reunions. The tend
ency of the day is to seek ease at
any cost and principle is less thought
OF than it shonld be where advant-
ages are promised from violations
OF it. But these battle-scarred,
rugged old fellows, constitute, when
they come together, the noblest
monument ever erected on earth to
duty adhered to without regard to
cost. When they meet in assembly
| the world Is constrained to look
| upon them as the exemplars of the
idea that success is not the chief test
OF merit in IL contest, for they prove
that n side may lose, and yet be
covered over with glory and honor
| 1t is good, therefore for these mel
to meet in generally assembly, fol
they teach the world a lesson that
cannot be too often impressed upor

TIME LOST IN COURT.

Something should be done to
expedite business and gave expense
at our courts.
This fact is made prominent IN
our own locality by the history of a
case in the term OF Forsyth Superior
Court which closed on Saturday.
The case in point WIS contest for
funds in the hands of a receiver, or
trustee, and consumed about three
days and pIhalf. The case was sub
mitteGIo the jury Friday afternoon
T| Judge said he would have to
Nave here early Saturday morning
in order to open Court promptly on
Monday at his next appointment.
TIE Jury found it impossible to
reach IL verdict by 7:15 O'Clock
Saturday morning, bur, we under
stand, informed the Judge that they
thought it very likely they could
agree by II O'Clock on Saturday
The additional time Was not
granted, tie case resulted in a mis-
trial aud the jury was discharged
All of which meant an absolute loss
Of three and Il half days of the term
of Court rs well rs the loss of the
expenses incident to the trial, and
that all the parties to the suit will
be kept out of the use of the money
involved until next August at least.
It means, also, n croWding OF the
docket at the next term of Court and
probable delay in bringing other
cases to hearing.
All OF this loss of time, expense and
Inconvenience resulted in the face OF
ii strong probability that the matter
would be settled by the attendance
Of the presiding Judge few hours
longer upon n day, we take 1t, that
rightfully belonged to the May term
OF our Superior Court.
We respectfully submit that this
condition of affairs is altogether
wrong and that if a remedy does not
exist one should be speedily devised.
Ia the present instance the incon
venience would have been less, prob
atly, if the Judge had finished the
term of this Court and delayed the
| opening of Craven court one day. IT
| it was not within his power to take
! this action, then by all means the
circuits OF our Judges should be so
| arranged that the different Courts
can be reached within a days time
OF course, we would not counsel a
nervous haste in the administration
Of justice, but the matter of undue
delay in both our criminal and civi
courts is one that should enlist the
best efforts of the bar and press tC
correct. Much valuable time il
wasted 10y the old-fashioned style
still in vogue in this State, Of the
| Judges writing testimony in long
hand. Every Court should be pro
vjded with an official stenographer
! When this is done great impedi
ment to the prompt dispatch o
| business will have been removed.

The constitutional convention of
Utah, authorized by the enabling
act of Congress to frame a funda-
mental law for the new Common
wealth, has closed its labors and the
constitution will be sub mitted to the
people at the next November eltc-
ton, when State officers, Congress
men, a Legislature, etc, will he
chosen, to serve in the event of its
adoption. The constitution framed
for Utah has as its chief distinctive
features provision prohibiting
polygamy and another granting the
right of suffrage to women. There
will be no distinction of sex in the
new Mormon State as to suffrage or
eligibility to office. Wyoming is
the only other State in the Union
where women are on entire equality

FREE COINAGE.

The Democratic party of North
Carolina resorts to no subterfuge
upon the great currency question,
which is to be the absorbing issue i'll
the coming contest. The slogan for
1896 has been uttered and it is this:
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G
to l." The guantlet has been
thrown before the gold bugs and the
cooperation of all who desire
emancipation from the evils of the
single gold standard is invited.
The subjoined resolutions were
adopted at a conference Of the State
Executive Committee, held in RAJ
eigh, May Goth. 1t will be seen that
| there is no lodging in these resolu-
tiOns. The declarations are en-
phatic and to the point and cannot
he misunderstood. They are as
| follows:
LIST. That the Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party of the
State of North Carolina, acting and
| speaking for and in behalf of the
party, republish, reiterate and EN-
| phasize the declaration OF the party
made in the State Convention
| August s, 1894, in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
| the ratio OF 16 to /.
I'd. That time and pressing events
have proven the wisdom of this
latest declaration of The party on
this all absorbing question, and we
appeal to the Democratic press an )
| peopl- OF the State to give to it their
loyal, open and aggressive support.
Bird. That i'll advocating the free
/ and unlimited coinage OF silver by
the Government OF the United States
we are not asking any favors or
concession from any one, but are
simply demanding that the great
| wrong done the masses of the
American people by the Republican
party in 1873 be undone and that
silver be restored to tie position it
occupied from the foundation of our
| Government up to the perpetration
of that great Republican crime.
4th. That in our judgment the
| immediate resumption of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by the
, governmt MT of the United States as
1T existed prior to 1878 without
waiting one moment for the CO oper
alton and without reference to the
conduct or policy of any nation on
earth is the great duty that now
confronts the American people, and
| we appeal to all men of every shade
of political opinion in North Caro-
lima who believe as W. do that the
restoration of free and unlimited
coinage OF silver means the restora-
ton of prosperity to our homes to
J join with us in the great battle of
| 1896, which we intend to wage to
wipe out the Republican crime of
1878, and to secure for our beloved
old State good laws and govern
ment.
9Th. Tat we send greetings to
| our Democratic brethren of Illinois,
J thanking them for the bold, open
and aggressive stand they have
| taken in favor of the immediate re-
sumption OF the coinage of silver and
! we send them our assuraD ces of our
hearty sympathy and cooperation
| in 1896.
9th. That regarding the question
of the resumption of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver as the
overshadowing one in American
politics we urge that such action be
taken by the various bimetalic
leagues as will open the way to

What the Money Changers Have Done

What the Money Changers Have Done.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Money should be simply a medium
of exchange. 1t was never intended
to be- commodity, but was designed
to be the convenient medium through
which commodities might be ex
changed or inter changed.
Sometimes the class called money
changers in the Bible and Shylocks
in these days, gets control of the
money of the country and turns it
into IL commodity. When they do
this business aud industry languish
and the people suffer. Money is then
so largely withdrawn from circula
ton that there is not enough of it
left to carry on the daily exchanges
of the people, and the wage worker
and producer are unable to reap the
reward Of th' il toll.
Christ found this state of affairs in
Jerusalem, and His just wrath caused
Him to overiurn the tables OF the
money changers and drive them
from the temple.
The Shy locks and spectators of
today have cornered the money OF
the country ard turned it into n
| commodity Our money is no longer
| subj ct to the natural laws of cur
rency and business. 1t is boarded
| and ma lie the subject matter OF
specula lion. This naturally with
draws it from circulation, and EN-
| plogers aud laborers, and producers
and consumers are at Il standstill
| They desire Il mutual exchange OF
J L., III 4 I,
medium is lacking. More tokens,
counters, coin and banknotes are
needed to carry on the business Of
the country. These various forms
of currency are now under the cor
troll of the money changers ana are
i held by them az mere commodities,
instead of being treated as the
medium by which commodities are
| exchanged.
Every thoughtful observer of
recent conditions must have noticed
the fact that during the past few
years, all over the country, great
numbers of men have dropped out of
manufacturing, producing and com
mercial circles. They have stopped
producing and selling ordinary com
modities and have gone into the
business of dealing with money itself
as n commodity.
1t would be impossible to imagine
n condition more blighting to com
merce aud industry than this specu-
lation in money. When money be-
comes a commodity men no longer
care to toll and produce, because
trade and industry are blocked, and
everybody wants to speculate in the
new commodity which ought in com
| mon Justice to be circulating among
the people discharginging it's proper
function as a medium of exchange.
| What is the remedy? One very
obvious one is to so expand the
volume of money as to make it
abundant enough to meet the de-
mands Of legitimate business, and
too abundant to be cornered and
treated as commodity. When the
currency is contracted, the money
changers rule; when it is judiciously
expanded labor and products are in
demand at good prices and the peo-
| pie enjoy prosperity and progress.

Occasions like tina of last Thursday
night are not only interesting, but
are likewise educative-deepening the
interest already felt and creating it
where it did not before exist. They
also tend to bring a community into
closer touch, as the individuals are
brought to realize more fully that
the work-as is the case with popular
education-is one in which the NOV
ing spirit is the greatest good to the
greatest number and that the benefi-
cent effects are open to all alike, and
that hence it is a work in which all
should feel an abiding concern.
The Winston Graded School, dur
ing it's ten years existence, has made
proud record and it's fame reaches
beyond the borders of the State.
That it has reached point OF per-
fiction beyond which it cannot go
none viii claim. For an institution
of this character to cease to grow
would mean either stagnation or
retrogression, either of which would
he very undesirable condition.
There is always higher and better
place as a reward for pcrsevering
effort Then let it be a pleasure, as
well as privilege for Us sill to take
courage from the successes of the
past and to work tremendously to
add diadems year by year to "Win-
ston's browning glory"

An important fact was set forth by
Mr.. Buxton, that night, when he re-
ferred to our Graded School as Win
ston's greatest enterprise. We were
specially gratified to know that such
is the opinion held by the Chairman
of the Board and we trust that he
voiced the sentiment of the entire
management of the School, because
success is more certain in any under
taking when it is in the hands Of
those who have proper conception
of the work entrusted to their care
creating aud maintaining u deeper
earnestness, IL warmer enthusiasm
and a more determined energy. An
important lesson that more should
learn is that the intellectual trans
cends the material and, at the same
time, that II predominance of intel
lectuality tends to elevate that which
is material, thus leavening the whole
lump with u power that will work for
