of gold monometallism and establish
our currency upon a bi metallic
basis. The News says:
"There can be no doubt about it
that if the United States were to
adopt a silver basis tomorrow
British trade would be ruined before
the year was out. Every American
industry would be protected, not
only at home, but in every other
market. OF course the United States
would suffer to a certain extent
through having to pay her obliga
tions abroad in gold; but the loss of
exchange under this head would be
mere drop in the bucket compared
with the profits to be reaped from
the markets of South America and
Asia, to say nothing of Europe.
1.-The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the
opportunity, and but for the belief
that the way of England is necessari
ly the way to commercial success
and prosperity undoubtedly it would
have b en- done long ago Now
Americans are awakening to the fact
that $50 long as they narrow their
ambition to becoming ID larger Eng
land" they cannot beat us.
1T has been piece OF luck for US
that it has never before occurred to
the Americans to scoop us out of the
worlds markets by going on a silver
basis. AMI it might serve us right, it.,
irritated by the contemptuous
apathy of our Government to the
gravity of the silver problem, the
Americans retaliate by freezing out
gold. 1t could easily be done, and
we propose shortly to show by
evidence collected from perfectly I'M
preiudiced sources that even now the
process has begun aud is proceeding
at rate that will astonish many
people and probably make this
country regret that it did not at an
earlier stage fashion its monetary
policy on principles of friendliness to
other nations instead of on a basis
OF shortsighted selfishness.
Will the gold bugs answer this by
saving that the London paper is
"fxin' to jine the Pops? This, you
know, is getting to be a favorite
fl pg at those who dare to tackle the
golden calf.

Hints on Making Up a Bed.
Harper's Round Table.

At Auntie's, in the mountains,
help is hard to get, and Auntie and
her daughters make their own beds
and do much of the housework out
side of the kitchen. Do you know
how to make btd2 1t looks very
easy, yet there is an art in doing it
we'll
In the first place, you must thor
oughly air your bed every day. Pull
the bed clothes apart, set the mat
tress on end, if it is in two pieces so
that you can manage it, and open
the windows widely. Leave bed and
bedding this way, exposed to air and
sunlight, for at least an hour. Then
spread your under sheet smoothly
on the top mattress, tucking it well
in at the top. Similarly tuck the
upper sheet in with great care at the
bottom of the bed, SO that it will not
work loose and leave the feet of the
restless sleeper exposed. Be sure, in
laying on your blankets, that the
open end of them is at the top of the
bed. A person often requires a
second thickness of the blanket
before morning, and can arrange it
as he wishes if the closed end of the
blanket is at the bottom of the bed.
Now comes your dainty upper
spread, to be folded up and laid
aside at night, your bolster and
your pillows. I would enjoy sleep
ing in a bed made by one of my girls
if she followed these directions.

CO-OPERA ALTON.

In our Saturdays issue we took
occasion to say that the success of
the Sam Jones' meetings depends
largely upon the degree of co-opera-
ton that shall exist among the
Christians of the community of all
denominations. This idea is en-
phasized by letter which the editor
has received from Rev. Robt. E.
Caldwell, and from which we take the
liberty of making the following ex
tracts and commenting them to the
prayertul consideration of our
Christian people. Mr.. Caldwell says:
"Mr. Jones held a meeting in
Hopkinsvllle, KY, January, 1898,
which was wonderful in it's power.
He left after ten days and all the
churches in the town continued the
work two weeks, holding separate
services simultaneously. 1t was my
privilege to conduct the services held
at that time in the First Presby-
terrain church, by invitation of the
pastor, Rev. w. l., Nourse, and had
an opportunity of estimating the
work of the evangelist.
DIR. Nourse told me that he had a
prejudice before Mr.. Jones arrived,
but that it was entirely removed III
few days time, and i'll his opinion
Sam Jones was a cOnsecrated man,
sincere and single in his aim He
said that his methods and language
were at times startling and seeming
ly wanting in reverence and were SO
regarded by many persons, but his
view of it was that it was the means
to an end; that it was done to secure
and hold attention and that when
he had thus closed in with men he
cut them all to pieces.
was particularly struck with one
point to which DR.. Nourse gave
emphasis. He said that the Hop
kiDsville meeting was one of the best
and most spiritual ever held by the
Evangelist and that he attributed it
to the fact that from the very start
he had the co operation of all the
churches and all the pastors"
Mr.. Caldwell adds that while no
official action was taken by his
congregation to unite in the formal
call and invitation to Mr.. Jones to
come to our city, he trusts it will be
fully understood that none is now
required to give sanction and en-
couragement to the work. He also
expresses qualification that his
church is represented upon the
various committees and says be
trusts they will give their whole heart
to the cause.
If this spirit shall be universal
with our pastors and churches
glorious results from the meeting
may be anticipated.

DIR. Thompson Gets Backing.


Raleigh News and Observer.
The Caucasian says that DR.. Cyrus
Thompson, president of the Farmers
Alliance, and leading Populist,
ATTACKED the organized church and
not Christianity, and he will whip it
if there is fight. The truth is on
the side of what he said"
Here we have the attack on the
church endorsed by the ex-President
of the National Farmers Alliance
and United States Senator from
North Carolina. The attack is not
only false, but wantonly SO. The
"organized church" in North Caro-
lima represents the best thought, the
loftiest patriotism, the sweetest
charity, and truest benevolence in
the State. In it's inception, Col.
Polk was enabled to organize many
Alliances because he taught that it
was an organization composed
chiefly of church members, who
wanted to apply the principles
taught by the church to the govern
ment. Neither Col. Polk nor 9ny
other leader of the Alliance Until now
turred his batteries on the church.
they seriously resolved to initiate
some of the labor organizations
that have almost adopted infdeliJy?
The politicians in the Alliance
started out by saying that both the
old parties were corrupt and they
were going to purify public matters,
but beyond that they were not in
politics. In a few short years they
had organized q new party. Now
they say that the church is all wrong,
| against liberty and all that. Are
they getting ready. TO organize a
| church of their own? That is the
logical inference.
We confess that we cannot under
stand the object of this crusade
against the church unless it is born
of spirit OF iconoclasm that seeks
to tear down everything sacred; and
Gift up in their stead some common
stuff

A Village Held up by Hornets.

CENTRE MoRICHEs, l.. L., Sept. 4 -
This village is being held up by a
swarm of hornets that have a nest
in the branches of tree on one of
the main streets. They 5hold poses>
sion of the thoroughfare for more
than block, and Justice George T.
Osborne has been asked to take
steps to have them taken into GUS
tody. Apparently the Justice is in
as much of quandary as are the
residents of the place. He is anx-
ious to have the pests removed, but
so far has been unable to find any
one brave enough to undertake the
job.
Ir the meantime the pests go hum
ming about and sting at their own
sweet will. The other day they ats
tackled Miss Louise Benjamin and
her cousin, who yentured within the
block. The two women were badly
stung. Other urwary pedestrians
have met with similar receptions.
Unless the pests are soon removed
the villagers say they will appeal to
the Governor to call out the militia.

For Your Fall Gown.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
There is every Indication that fine
qualities in broadcloth and ladies'
cloth will be in great use during the
fall and winter for street redingotes,
capes, jackets and entire costumes.
The finish of these textiles is the
finest that has ever been produced.
Amazon cloth is another fabric that
will again be in great use, rivaling
the crepon goods in favor for skirts
and gowns. These materials differ
from broadcloth in having semi
twilled surface which is not distinct
and which does not permit of the
lustrous finish characteristic of the
high grade broadcloths. They are
from so to 81 inches wide, and cost
from $1.25 to SITS a yard. The
taste for soft, delicate woolens like
Henrietta cloth and India cashmere
is never entirely lost, although their
attractions may be temporarily
obscured by the more pronounced
novelty of rough, shaggy or crinkled
fabrics that are rather deceptive as
to durability, as many have discov-
cred.

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 Saturday, September z, 1895, in
dictate generally a very favorable
week for work and for ripening of
crops. The temperature was above
normal, excepting on Monday and
Tuesday, with maximum tempera>
lures as high as 90 degrees. There
was abundant sunshine. Local
rains occurred on three days, but the
weather was very dry the entire week
everywhere except few counties in
the southeast and west portions.
The week was favorable for pulling
fodder and cut ing aud curing to-
bacco. Cotton is opening pretty
rapidly and picking is going on.

AGAINST THE CIGARETTE TRUST.
Interesting Affidavits in the Proceed

Interesting AHdavits in the Proceed
fnes TO Annul its Certificate.
SYRACUSE, Sept. The grounds
upon which C. A. Whelan of SYRIA
cuse has petitioned the Attorney
General to annul the certificate of
the American Tobacco Company are
given in the voluminous papers
which the Acknowledgement will re,
view on Sept. 10. They are to the
effect that the company has been do
ing business under form of con-
tract which binds dealers not to sell
goods manufactured by other com
panies. The papers contain a trans
script of this agreement, ami are res
inforced with affidavits that, in ac>
cordance with it, dealers in this
State who violated it were unable to
get the company's goods consigned
to them.
George N. Grouse, President of
of the State, said to-day that he had
war on the trust. He had accepted
a proposition made by the National
Cigarette and Tobacco Company for
the introduction of their cigarettes
/ on the condition that a commission
be paid the association. If the
American Tobacco Company would
sell the jobbers goods, knowing this,
there would be no boycott, and a
boycott was never contem plated.
Mr.. Grouse said the reports that at
the meeting of the wholesale grocers
at Saratoga war was declared on the
trust were not true. The Associa>
ton did not take up the individual
grievances of its members, but, in
pursuance of the policy of the Asses
citation, he, as President, had taken
step in favor of open markets.

A SOURCE OF REGRET.

That North Carolina will not be
properly represented at the Atlanta
Exposition is present source of
regret and this regret will grow
stronger when the partial representa-
tion is compared with what we could
have done. Touching upon the sub
ject, the Wilmington Messenger says:
"Poor old North Carolina, SO rich
in resources and productions, will be
at Atlanta in part only. We really
think no show is preferable to a poor
show. North Carolina will be Judged
by the millions of visitors by what is
shown, and will be put on a back
seat. If we had no other reason for
denouncing the Rad-Pop body of
political uramps and nincompoops
this failure to stand by North Caro-
lima and give her q first rate exhibit
at Atlanta would be enough. 1t
was a most marrow, stupid, bIunder-
ing thing and every true and patri-
otto North Carolinian ought to
despise il.

The Horseless Carriage.
New York Recorder.


"The hcadless horseman" was the
creature of Washington Irving's
Imagination, but the horseless car
riage is a fact and not fancy. 1t is
here in New York, and Hilton.
Hughes & Co. are it's enterprising
owners.
1t may be presumed to be the best
type of the new vehicle yet produced,
because it is the same which, last
January, won the 1000 kilometer
race between Paris and bordeaux
against forty competitors.
Emile Roger, the inventor, has
come oyer with three of these novel
wagons, and Hilton, Hughes & Co.
intend. if the experiments with these
three prove satisfactory, to replace
all their 500 delivery wagons, now
drawn by horses, with these auto.
matte petroleum vehicles.
Judging from the trial in Washing
ton square last Thursday, when the
horseless wagon easily climbed q
grade of 80 degrees, and accepting
the statements of the inventor that
there is no danger of fire or explosion
and that the thing can be run for
less than cent a mile, this kind of
wagon is likely to come into general
use in this city. The rest of the
country will soon follow suit.

Didn't Mend Matters.

In discussing the flop of Mr.. W. R.
Henry to the Populists, who scores
Cleveland for appointing a few
negroes to Office, the Republican,
edited by John Williamson, uses the
following language: sis it true that
Mr.. Henry left the Democratic party
for the reason that negroes were
recognized to the exclusion of Mr..
Henry? If that is true, then why
should Mr.. Henry join the Populist
party when he knows that the Popu-
lists and Republicans are quite like
ly to fuse in 1896, and thereby make
him eat niger whether it sets well
on his stomach or not. If he stays
inside the Populist party hewill have
to submit and vote, too, for negro
appointees, or he will have to be q
deceiver of the voters of the negro
race"

SEVERAL cities report very favor
able results from the plan OF alleviat-
ing the sufferings of the poor by
giving them the use of unoccupied
lands and supplying them with i'm
plemeuts and means to cultivate
their vegetable patches. Our under
standing is that this help is in the
nature of loans which are returned
at the close of the season. Referring
to the plan, the Pittsburg Dispatch
says: True charity is that which
enables the subject to become self
supporting-which makes him a
person of some value in the world.
The giving of aims to the starving
and helpless, giving succor to the
sick and and comfort to the dis
tressed are all worthy manifesto tions
of the brotherhood of man, but the
giving to the deserving poor OF the
means of self-sustenance is true
charity.o

For Your Pretty Shoes


A returned summer girl has found
a novel use for her discarded outing
parasol. She has removed one half
of it and fitted it with fat back of
pasteboard, covering both this and
the outside of the remaining half
with cretonne to match the furnish
ings of her room. Each segment is
furnished with a lining, which forms
the pocket for q pair of dainty
slippers or shoes, and as the pocket
is no deeper than the length of the
shoes, they are kept in place. 1t
may be covered with white duck from
an old gown that is no longer SER
viceable and edged with a fall of
coarse lace about the top. Use only
a small parasol, and if you have not
a frame of the right size you may
fashion an umbrella shaped bag, SO
constructed that the effect will be
that of half open parasol.

The Coming Road Parliament.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. Morton, the secretary of
agriculture, has issued call for a
road parliament to be held in Allan
TIA October II, Is and 10, in connec-
ton with the Cotton States and
International Exhibition, which will
be in progress at that time. The
invitation is a comprehensive one,
embracing all highway commissions,
road improvement organizations,
boards of trade, commercial bodies,
agricultural societies, the Wheel
mems League and other organiza-
tions or individuals interested in the
betterment of highways. Such a
gathering ought to be largely
attended and productive of good
results. Every effort should be made
to give the parliament a practical
character. If rightly managed, the
Atlanta parliament can exert great
influence in stimulating and forming
public sentiment on the subject, as
well as in disseminating practical
information concerning road build
inr
