Took q Lesson in Finance.

A farmer in eastern Pennsylvania
has been converted by experience
from some very common opinions on
money. He did not believe in banks.
and he did not believe in silver. So
he held all his funds in the form of
silver dollars. stored them in a key
marked prime leaf lard" and hid the
deposit in a wagOn-shed- But a thun-
derstorm came up one day last week.
and shaft of lightning took a promis-
cuously active part in the demonstra-
tion of the necessity of one quail
ity of money. 1t reduced the
wagon-shed to ashes and the silver
dollars to shapeless mass of bullion
As result, 81 900 or so of silver was
turned into just about half of its face
value Had the coin been of good. it
would have been worth just as much
after it was melted as before. This
is highly expensive way of getting
grasp of the factors of the monetary
problem, but the man who learns at
the cost of $500 lesson will be likely
to remember what he has paid for

The Country Editor.

Verify the life of the country editor
is path of thornS.
His bread is promises and his meat
is disappointment.
His creditors chase him by day and
the devil grinneth at him by night.
He sendeth the paper to a subscribe
er on credit and the subscriber payeth
him not.
Then he stoppeth his delinquent's
paper. and the delinquent singeth ira,
la. and borroweth it from his neigh
Dor.
One subscriber payeth his subscrip-
tion in cobs and behold they are rot
ten and soggy and short of measure.
He whoopeth up the township poll
tician and the politician knoweth him
no more.
He puffeth the church fair gratis
and attendeth it, payeth his quarter
and receiyeth two oysters.
He bOOmeIh his town and all things
therein. and yet received no support
and is a man without honor in his
own country.
Two young people marry and he Civ
eth them a great puff, and they go to
housekeeping and taketh not his pa
per.
Yea, he is bound down with woe
and his days are full of grief and
trouble and veXation of spirit.
But sorrow endureth only for a
night and joy cometh in the morning.
He ploddeth along and endureth in
patience and it is written that he will
receive his reward on the other side

q. Il. ARTz's ZINC HOLE.
That is the Mineral That He Claims He Finds
There.

There.
At last General III. H. Artz's coal
hole odt in Trego county has proved
a bonanza, for he bias struck it rich in
zinc. Nearly all last winter the ex-
-adjutant general was working on some
land in Trego county along the south
banks of the Smoky Hill river. When
questioned closely he would say he
was looking for coal: But the facts in
the case are that he was prospecting
for zinc, and now he is enthusiastic
over his find. A strong company has
been formed to work mines there, and
over IL 600 acres have been secured by
the company by lease.
The hole which General Artz dug is
12O feet deep and five feet in diane
ter.
1.-The deeper l GOT said Mr.. Artz
to a State Journal reporter, 1.-The
richer the ore was in zinc. Down
near the bottom of the shaft the ore
yields IS $40 per cent pure zinc. and
there is considerable gold and silver
along with it. One good thing about
it is that there is no sulphur and iron
in the ore, so that it does not require
roasting"
The company which has been form
ed is called the ''Smoky Hill Zinc
Mining company" and f. J. Kellogg
of this city is the president. The
reason for keeping quiet about the
prospecting out there was that at
that time the company had not secur-
ed lease on the land. But now / 800
pecting hole are owned by the COM
pany, and IL 900 acres are under lease
to the company.
Assays made of the ore made at
different depths show a zinc deposit
of from % per cent, which is from a
few feet below the surface of the
ground, to IS $40 per cent at depth
of 120 feet. 1.-THE ore gets richer as
you go down." said Mr.. Artz, land l
expect to find it increasing in richness
as we go down farther until we strike
bedrock
Yes, and / wouldn't be bit sur
prised if you would find plenty of gold
down by that bed rock" said r. G..
Martin, who is interested in the COM
pany.
Mr.. Artz will go out to Trego coun-
ty in a few weeks to make further
prospecting, and arrange for the
smelling of the ore. ''I'll tell you,'
said the eX-adjutant general, "a fell
low works awfully hard when he is
mining, but I believe 1 would as soon
mine as any other business / know of.
Out there our shaft is perfectly dry.
Some of these holes fill up with water
as soon as they have gone down 20
feet, but ours is as dry as punk. When
a fellow is working down in shaft
and he sees rich ore he would rather
look at it in the ore than made into
$50 gold piece. We worked hard,
and lots of times over time. We
would get excited when we struck a
good lot of ore, and lots of times /
would come out of the shaft wet with
perspiration.'- Topeka Journal.

that idea In his life than he. His whole
soul seems to be in the work OF foreign
and domestic missions. In later years
it has been the dream OF his life to end
his career by useful work in China, but
circumstances have thwarted his purpose.
And yet he has done and is doing more
good than he possibly could do anywhere
else in the world.
Mr.. Patton is also a man of large pub
lie spirit, well read upon economic ques-
tions, and something of politician in the
best sense of that much abused word.
His sympathy with the masses and his
earnest desire to lift them up caused
him not a great while ago to espouse the
cause of the Populist party. He thinks
now that ii has the truth in common with
silver Democrats upon the money ques-
ton, but he became greatly Disguised in
the recent election at the action of GER
tain leaders who were in collision to
elect gold men to office His plain talk
ing against such double-faced dealing
was endorsed and approved by many
Populists in his section of the State.
Il am no longer Populist," he is
quoted as saying a short while ago, II
am Democrat henceforth. / cannot af-
filiate with a party that talks for silver
and votes for gold men," Whatever he
says has weight because everybody
knows he is thoroughly sincere and hon
est.

BILE family. His Oldest brother, John,
was in the army about one year as boy,
and when be came home concluded to
get an eduSe ton. He had been lmper-
fcctly prepared for college. He worked
his way up to New England and enter
ed Harvard. He paid his way through
Harvard by coaching the sons of wealthy
men, and made enough in that way to
take the regular course, graduate in
the law department and give himself a
trip to Europe. The next brother, Jacob,
followed him and took the same course,
and they are both now successfully prac-
Using law in Boston. The third brother,
the Baptist pastor, worked his way
through Amherst College. After grad
uation he returned to North Carolina,
and entered the Baptist ministry, and
has been engaged in preaching and teach
ing ever since He established several
high schools that have been successfully
continued by others, notably Amherst
and Table Rock Academy in Burke, and
the school at Globe in Caldwell county.
Mr.. Patton is man Of genuine ability.
He is an original thinker and an original
talker, if that expression may be used.
He is a bold preacher and a fearless
man. lie is never afraid to call spade
a spade, but still in some way he man
ages to avoid giving offense to his hear
ers. No one man in Western North Car
olain has done more to elevate and edu-
cate the members of the Baptist church
than Mr.. Patton. The elegant Baptist
church in Morganton is a monument to
his. zeal and untiring effort. Starting
with handful it is largely due to his min
istry that the Baptist membership at
Morganton has in a few years become
the largest in the town. Mr.. Patton be-
lieves that the great mission OF the min
istry is TO preach the gospel to the poor,

STIRRING SCENES.
The white Cap Case Settled-Repub-
licans Dividing the Spoil.

Wilson, n. c., Nov. 14.-(SpeciaI(-
Wilson has been the theatre of stirring
scenes during the past week, and it has
been fiecked over with the foam of in
tensest interest ard excitement In the
first place our Superior court was in ses-
sion, and Pharoah Rowe, Charles Proc
tor, Noah Bass, Bennett Barnes, Jesse
Bass, Eph Bass, James Montgomery and
Wiley Johnson, accused of being white
Caps" were on trial for the destruction
of fence and the burning of tobacco
barn. The property of l.. r. Lucas, at
Lucama in this county. A large number
Of witnesses were examined, and after
all the evidence had been adduced, the
defendants entered the plea of nolo con-
tendere, and plead guilty to the crime Of
conspiracy. Judgment was suspended
upon the payment of cost, which amount
ed to over twelve hundred dollars-a
very heavy punishment, for they are poor
men. This course was generally ap-
proved by all parties, and the happiest
results will be sure to follow this charita-
bic and merciful policy. And right here
/ wish to emphasize the fact that Judge
Graham presided with great ability, and
the most delightful courtesy, and con-
firmed the belief that he lis not only a
wise and just and able jurist, but poll
ished and accomplished and high toned
gentleman-broad gagged and liberal
minded and with heart attuned to all
that is good and noble.
And another incident which provoked
some speculation was the presence of
Republican Chairman Holton, who was
closely closeted with Solicitor Bernard.
1t has leaked out since his departure
that these two Republican lights were
blazing the pathway for the proper dis
tribution of Federal patronage in this
section. 1t is understood that il was
arranged for Bernard to take the of
fee of District Attorney, now adorned
by the brilliant powers of the able Az
cock-the fearless Ajax Of the North Car
DINA bar, and the white plumed Murat
of aggressive debate Mr.. Bernard is to
resign his Office of Solicitor, and Wheeler
Martin, of Williamston has been select
ed to wear his discarded robes. Solicitor
Bernard has won the esteem and the
confidence Of the powers that be, and it
is thought that he will get this Office as
recognition of his fidelity to the party
and for faithful services rendered.
And another thing which awOke the
most delightful interest was the immense
sales OF tobacco during the week. 1t is
stated upon authority that 9S7, 253
pounds were sold this week, and on We'd
nesday the Centre Brick" sold 1O1 ,953
pounds at a very fair price-the biggest
sale ever made in North Carolina. No
wonder then that Wilson is so prosperous,
because she has so much to-back-her.

ONLY THE MASTER SHALL
PRAISE US.

When earth's last picture is painted and
the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors have faded and
the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need
it, lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen
Shall set us to work anew!
And those that were good shall be hap
py-they shall sit in golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas
with brushes of comets hair;
They shall ind real saints to draw from
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shah work for an age at a sitting
and never be tired at ALI
And only the Master shall praise us, and
only the Master shall blame:
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame.
But each for the joy OF the working, and
each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees 1t for
the God of Things as They Are!

Volume of POets.)
