Mr.. E. S. Cummings, liveryman, has been
very unfortunate this week. On Tuesday,
one of the hottest days of the season, his
son Reese. drove n four horse hack to Charles
Towu and returned about noon. As he
drove into Bolivar one of his stylish Arabian
white horses fell from the heat and died,
and later in the day, another horse from the
same team also laid down and died from the
effects of the drive in the heat, and still he
loses another valuable horse that was out
on that scorching day-at least it was SO
badly used up that it will soon die. Mr..
Cummings feels keenly the loss of his white
Arabian horse. He would not have taken
$40O for the pair, which at one time sold in
Washington for $1,000. He had just paid a
man $50 who had operated onland cured one
of his horses for ameness.-H r. Sentinel

The 9TH of September is the time for the
reopening of the Charles Town graded
school, and it is best for teachers and pupils
that the latter should begin with the session.
The school is now rated by the authorities
as a high school, practically, having the
privileges and advantages of such. The
danger to a pupil of delay in entering is that
by the loss of time he or she may fail at the
proper time to be advanced a grade. Prompt
enrolment, pu%nctual attendance and dill
gence have their reward. Mr.. Denny, the
principal of the Charles Town graded school,
who has made it the equal of high schools
end academies, is very DESTROYS that parents
should cultivate the interest they already
feel in this institution, and should manifest
it in a yet greater degree, and have their
children, little and big, ready to enter upon
the first day. He hopes that the scholastic
year about to begin will be better than any
that has gone before. If not we are quite
sure the fault will lie elsewhere than at his
door.-Free Press.

KNOCKED HIM OUT.
How One Map Felt the Influence Of Free
Silver Agitation.

How One Man Felt the Influence Of Free
Silver Agitation.
A little local story has come to Light
showing how this free silver agitation
has hurt business for one man in the
city Of jackson. Some months ago a To-
cal life insurance man went to one Of the
rich men Of the city with a view to get
ting him to insure his life. By dipt Of
frequent visits and much talk the agent
got the gentleman to promise to take out
a policy in his company, the premiums
on which would have been something
like 81, 900 per year.
The day was set to close the contract
and sign the papers, Now 1t is well
known that this agent is a great free sill
yer man and talks it wherever he goes.
When he went to close the bargain, the
rich man said to him: IT have been
thinking about this free silver business
and I dislike to take out such a large
policy. ! don't know but that this free
silver will carry, and then my people
will be paid off in cheap money. 1t is
too much Of q risk at this time" The
agent, who had had visions Of a big fat
commission looming up before him, be-
gan to get uneasy and talked with might
and main and told the rich man that
this free silver business was all talk and
there was not the slightest danger in
the world Of its ever becoming a law.
He put up a mighty pretty talk, and
tried all persuasions at his command on
the prospective policy holder, but all to
no avail. The gentleman was firm and
said under the condition Of things nov
existing he could not afford to have his
family paid off in, deprecated currency
and refused to take out the policy. This
Is only a sample of what the free silver
agitation is doing for the country

GOOD MONEY MUST HAVE VALUE.
Scarcity of Gold Makes 1t the Best Me
dunn of Exchange.

Scarcity of Gold Makes 1t the Best Me-
dunn Of Exchange.
But what does Mr., Harvey mean by
saying there is not gold enough in the
world? 1t is simply because gold is not
as abundant as iron or copper that 1t
has been chosen as a medium Of ex-
change, and a small bulk Of it is sufl-
Client for the worlds business on &C.
count of its great value. Should he be
able to make gold as cheap as iron,
then gold would be as inconvenient as
iron for purposes of currency.
Again, If the contention Of our silver
friends be true that by Demonstrating
silver" half the money of the world has
been extinguished and therefore prices
cut in two, will somebody explain why,
with prices at that basis, the one-hah
of the money remaining is not just as
adequate for the purposes Of business as
would be twice that amount If each
piece were worth half as much as meas
ured in the price Of goods? And how Is
the effective volume Of circulation
that is, the amount Of money availa-
bic in proportion to the business to be
done-to be increased by any process
which proposes to increase the amount
of currency in order that prices may be
increased in proportion? Will not the
then volume Of currency be equally as
restricted as is the present volume In
proportion to the amount Of transactions
to be settled thereby?
If MI. Harvey changes the figures in
his ledger so as to make each one dol
BILE what it is now and then doubles the
nominal amount Of his money as ex-
pressed In dollars, will he have any
more currency for his business on the
new basis than he had on the old2 Or
does he claim that the denominations
into which money is coined make any
difference? If so, he and the rest of us
can be made happy at once by getting
more 10 cent pieces, quarters and halt
