low, and whose Latin and Greek were

New York Sun. All sorts of brilliant
things were expected of her after she
left college. The president said that
she had one of the finest minds the col
lege had ever bad the privilege of cul-
tivating. The literature. professor
prophesied that she would make a shin
ing place for herself in literature. The
professor of mathematics shed tears at
the thought of her absence from his
class. AS for the girls, her fellow
students, they each and all regarded
her as sort of George Eliot and Maria
Mitchell rolled into one. And, in spite
of these many fond hopes and bright
predictions, the girl, Immediately after
she was graduated, married. Ten years
later her class met for a reunion. The
members made it sort of experience

had happened during the interval since
they bad last met. One had won re-
nown in music, another in philanthrop-
ic fields. Another had written her
heart out in verse, and fourth had be-

was the turn of the girl with mind.

LETTER FROM A FRIEND.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
After a long looked for, l hope you

bic a newspaper as can be found in the
State of North Carolina. | should have

hope you will excuse me for ~neglecting
this matter, but it is better now than
at all.
Times are hard, and seem to get no
better. Who a expect or look for
any better times under the administra
ton of this government, when n
looks things full in the face, to see them
as they are. How can auy man or
country expect to prosper uuder such
management as there is in u nee

less do, I know not-only in one thing,
and that is never to cast another vote

Democrat. I have @ somuchdeception

only say as the poor fellow did when
his fellow man waylaid him to kill
him; when he looked up ard saw the
gun go to his face. the vic i'm had onIv

NORTH CAROLINA INVENTORS

Have given to the world many rota-
BILE inventions. There is not a com
munity in the State that does not pos
sess one or more local geniuses, who
have ideas that are patentable, and
which if properly developed will bring
fame and fortune to their owners II
is often the case that some simple little
appliance devised by the housewife, the
storekeeper, the farmer and others to
expedite work or lessen labor, puts
into play an entirely new principle in
invention viii h may have far greater
value than is known to the originator.
North Carolinians who have evolved
such ideas owe it to themselves and the
industrial enlargement of their S ate
to ascertain if the sans is patentable,
All such are requested to md a brief
description, sketch, or photo to the
Patent Law Department of the Assoc
ciated Trade and Industrial Press, 60
Thirteenth street, Washington, D. O.,
and they will hear something to their
advantage. This enterprise is man
aged by a we'll known North Carolinian
who will take a personal interest in
the furtherance of inventive genius in
the Old North State. Other State
papers are requested to copy this notice
and send marked copy.

THE COMING FINANCIAL CRISIS

Little by little it becomes apparent
that the associated bankers Of this
country are gathering their forces for a
mighty struggle during the next ses-
sion of Congress.
No public proclamation has been
issued and no brass bands are being
employed; but unless all indications
are misleading, there is on foot a def
mite, concerted movement that is likely
to change the whole line of battle on
the currency question.
The purpose of the bankers is to strike
with all their power for a law that shall
put out of existence, once for all, the
entire issue of United States notes
known as greenbacks.
The plea which they will make will
be the highly patriotic plea that this
action is necessary to rescue the treas
ury from its perilous position and es-
taolish the nations finances on a firm
basis.
The plea will be a false one, the pa
tr1otlc professions will be delusive. and
the result of the action proposed will
be a far reaching disaster whose ulti
mate consequences are incalculable.
Here are the facts. There are in cir
culation to-day about $40 600 O(O of
greensbscks. Those greenbacks ore
sent a policy in direct antagonism to
the policy underlying the national bank
system ard they have from the begin
ming been regarded by the bankers
with hostile eyes. They insisted on
their retirement al part of the plan Of
resumption twenty years ago, and this
retirement was actually begun. So
immediate and stern was the ponuIar
protest, however, that the provision of
the law was repealed and the green.
backs preserved as a part of the ma.
tlonaI currency. From that dav tn
this the bankers have sulkilv watched
for their opportunity, and they think
they have it now. Whether thew have
1t or not, they cannot safely wait anv
longer. The National Bankers Con

Again, the invitation Of the Secretary
is broad enough to include everyone,
but especially will it be expected to be
accepted by the farmers and wheeImen,
two most interested in and affected by
the condition of the roads. With good
roads and easy wagon communication
the farmer can always find a ready
market for his produce, and it will re
suit in increased production. While
with improved roads we will find an
increased number of devotees OF the
bicycle, and consequently an increased
ratio of strength and health among
our riders. Then, as the invitation Is
so cordial it may be reasonably expect
ed that the ladies will be lnteresGeo'
and will have a voice in this discus
sion. At present, in many cases. IL Is
only the city bred girl who can ana
does ride a wheel, simply on account u
the good roads accessible; whereas
with a general road Improvement,
country girls as we'll would take up the
bicycle as sport, and also as a usetul
addition to locomotion, and thereby
benefit bicycle trade.
The time and place for holding this
good roads parliament has been oppor
timely selected by Secretary Morton.
The Atlanta Exposition will attract
large numbers of people from every
part of the country, and they will be
people who can give something more
than theoretical aid to this movement.
Many people have given the
subject any thought. and suppose they
are not Concerned in the matter of
good or bad roads, but in reality there
is no reform which is o generally
beneficial { 20 all classes Of the commu-
nifty, than the good roads reform. The
good results from a congregation of
men and interests ina subject of such
vital Importance to people cannot
be overestimated, and it is to be hoped
that the invitations of Secretary Nor
ton will be extensively accepted, and
that at this good roads parliament new
ideas, new suggestions and practical
resolutions will be presented and adopt
ed which will result in a general i'm
provement, if not national legislation
of our roads. The ultimate aim of such
parliament would naturally seem to be
procure nation'l laws bearing on
improvement of roads, and no doubt
this will be one of the results The sys
TENS of road construction in different
States of the Union now in vogue, when
compared and united, will no doubt
form the basis for national legislation
on the subject. This is what we re9d
to have, uniformly good roads. In the
meantime, let the people heed the call
and generally support this good roads
parliament: A4d<nyo you intend to be
present, go prepared with something
to say that will be of practical value to
the public.
Remember the date, October 17gh,
18th aud 19.h, and from the discu ssions
presented there, good cannot fail to
come of the Good Roads Parliament.

thieves in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country. The settlers down there have,
ever since the opening, been the vic.
Tins of marauding bands Of horse and
cattle thieves, and, finding the author
tiles too slow in bringing offenders to
justice, several committees were organ
lied in different parts of the country
to take the law into their own hands.
These vigilantes few days ago started
on the trail of one band and followed it
to the panhandle of Texas and back
into the Cheyenne country, overtaking
it near Cantonment. Here a battle
followed, resulting in the wounding of
George Gaskell and Simeon Campbell,
two Of the vigalantes, and the capture
of three of the thieves. The latter
were hanged without delay. Their
bodies were shot to pieces and left
hanging as a warning to their kin.
