We are requested to give notice that
the alumnae Of Georgetown convent
will have reunion at the Atlanta Ex
position, Oct. 23rd
Elk Governor Flower, who has been
pretty good political guesser, says that
the Democrats this year will carry New
York by $4,000 majority.
The old song "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" has been revised. 1t now goes
''Sixteen Silver Threads to One of Gold"
E O. Smith is the author of the new
version Morganton Herald.
Tt was his consideration for his broth
er that caused ex-senator Butler to re-
frain from saying rough things about
Ben Tillman. He only called him "a
liar, a coward, and a thief" Think
what he might have said but for his
brother !
The publishers of Printers Ink, New
York, recently offered prize for the
best advertisement. In its last issue We
note that Mr.. Thad. r. Manning, of the
Henderson Gold Leaf, carried off the
prize. He was in competition with pub
fishers from Maine to California.
The decision of Judge Pratt of the
United States Circuit court, sitting at
Ia - +ho ofF hot on
ployer has no right to interfere to pre-
vent a discharged employe obtaining
work somewhere else, is one in which all
employers and workingmen have an &C.
tive interest.
The Progressive Farmer is now finding
fault with the camp meeting religion.
Our contemporary says: "We notice that
q great many revivals and camp-meet
ings have been held this summer and the
converts at each meeting we're numer-
ous. Must be something lacking about
this religion, though, for they don't pay
up their subscriptions any better than
they did before the meetings were held. ="
1t may be that some Of the readers of
that paper have concluded to let religion
severely alone lest they be induced to
join the church where DIR. Oy. Thompson
says people become human slaves.-SaH-

The monetary system that prevailed
in this country up to the characterization
of silver in 1873 was a system under
which the people we're prosperous. Then
there were no very rich men. Prosperity
extended over the face Of the country.
Under the present system all the money
goes to the money centres and million
aires grow up in day. Why not return
to the system we had then The Repub-
lican party is responsible for the present
condition of affairs Let US have a re
peal of the 10 per cent. tax On State
banks so the farmers can make use Of
their credit and put an end to their get
ting poorer each day. -Asheboro Courier.
Senator Vest has just returned from
Carlsbad. In reference 10 the m ney
question abroad he said he found practi-
cally the same conditions existing in
Germany as in the United States. 'The
bankers and merchants are all sound
money advocates, while the laboring
classes are for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. There is large class
Of Socialists in Germany W, call them
selves Socialist Democrats. They are
entirely different from our Anarchists
and bomb throwing Socialists. AS a rule,
they are small farmers and truck gar
deners who work in the fields during the
day and come to town TO talk politics at
night They are better informed and
better educated class of men than is gen
orally supposed, and they are all in favor
of the free aud unlimited coinage Of
silver"
In an interview on the business out
look Senator Calvin S. Brice said: Il
think we are on the edge of the most
PROSPEROUS time we have had for years,
/ believe for the next eight or ten years
at least, that this country will see busl'
ness prosperity unequalled in its history
or the history of the world. Every one
of our rs, GOO, 600 people will feel 1t, and
it will be long before it, passes away
There will be great developm Mt along
many lines and ii will be a permanent
development. We are over our panic,
which comes periodically every decade
or so. We have had our settlement
We have readjusted our business, ard We
are now riding on the macadm'zed road
3f prosperity. 1t is true we may have
now and then some slight financial
1aunder storms, bat these will be tenn
Dorary and local They will not be last
