Not Good Looking Enough.

A conductor Oh the Big Con-
solidated line wears one of those
sehseless buttons inscribed: "If
you love me, grin" A day or two
ago an elderly woman, evidently
from the rural districts, caught
sight of this adornment and, set.
Ting her spectacles firmly ON her
nose, proceeded to read it aloud as
the conductor bent forward to COL
lect the fare.

road?" she demanded.
"Why, no, MAN," replied the
abashed conductor, "it's just a lit
tie fun"
"oh," said the old lady, sis
that all? If twas a reggleation of
the road | was jast goin' to say
that l don't love you, an I'd
sooner walk twenty miles than
grin"
"That's all right, ma'am," said
the conductor, as he hastily
moved on amid the laughter of
the other passengers.
"One moment" cried the old
lady, "ef | was you I'd give that
button to some better lookin'

it means. Wait until free silver
comes, and then judge it by its
work, but in the meantime, our
dear gold standard friends, take
your medicine. You are not ex-
periencing the effects of the COM
ing of free silver, but are expert
encing the legitimate and inevi-
table effect of parting with it in
1873. The hurt to silver, though
thirty millions a year, is but the
''fy OH the wheel" When sill
yer was thrown out of its work
as money, turned into a commod-
ity and reduced in price year by
year by a constantly increasing
and approaching gold standard,
every other product and commod-
ity was broken down with it.
The whole base upon which all
the securities that Wall street
deals in, and billions more that
do not come to Wall street at all
has been undermined and crum-
bled by loss of products OIL pro-
duction, by low prices, brought
on year by year by the growing
standard of value" that in 1873
was substituted for our monetary
unit of silver. We have sown
low prices in the foundation and
are reaping them in the super
structure. We are getting, not
the coming of silver, but the le-
gitimate ending in failure Of the
gold policy. 1t has run us to the

all experiencing what the gold

A Train Delayed by the sun.

The northbound train due here
at 1920 this morning was delayed
over two hours BY a most re-.
markable cause. Three miles
this side of China Grove the train
was tagged by tracknan who
had discovered that the track had
"bucked." The exceedingly hot
rays of the sun pouring down
upon the track had caused the
large steel rails to expand until
they bncked where they were
joined together and left their orig
inal bed. For some distance the
track had been drawn crooked
aid it was two hours before it
was possible for the train to pass.
Nothing could be heard from the
train and a crowd of anxious peo-
pie awaited its arrival here.-Sal-

Hobart,s Name sake.

As little as is known of Gar.
rett A. Hobart, he has at least
one namesake in North Carolina.
In the campaign of 1888, Geo.
NJ. Bulla was sent to New Jer.
sey to make campaign speeches;
and was the guest Of Governor
Griggs and Garret A. Hobart
while in Paterson. The person
al magnetism Of the man won
Mr.. Bulla's admiration which
ripened into a warm friendship
and was demonstrated by his
naming his eldest boy Hobart,
and this was five years ago, be-
fore there was a dram ofMr.
Hobart's political star appearing
in the horizon.
He has shown his appreciation
of the compliment by two gener-
Gus checks to the little boy, and
the little boy has shown his he
reeitary republicaiism by declar-
ing himself for gold.
A few DAYS ago a relative sent
him a 81 bill. He pushed it aside
and said in an emphatic tone, 81
don't want paper money: | won't
have any money but gold" This
is quite a significant remark
when it is known that both ofhis
grandfathers are staunch silver
men.-Thomasville correspon-
