BIZ sYsrRAAfIc.

One Of the greatest evils of our
country is lack Of system. Numbers
of farmers, merchants, business men
men in every rank and walk OF life
have failed because of it. They go
about their businessin q blind, careless,
half-hearted way and failure i, ere
long, the result.
The business man whose work SHOWS
no evidence Of well laid plans, fore,
sight and system, is doomed. And
this is equally true of farmers.
stake things as they come" maybe,
and is in some instances, a very good
maxim, but it is always best to have
things arranged in an orderly, syste
matte manner, and the farmer and
business man will have to learn this
lesson well before success will crown
their efforts.
Doubtless, many Of the business
failures of this country are due to q
greater or less degree, to this lack OF
system. The man attends one day to
his business, perhaps, in an indIter-
emit sort of way; the next day he is off
on q pleasure trip, when, during all
this, his business is suffering for lack
of attention. For system he has no
use. Like the French falconer, he will
''on it" and fly at anything he sees.
This sort of man, or human didapper,
will never succeed-not, at least, until
he learns that his business and busi
ness problems must be attended to IN
the order in which they come.
Order-system-this is a virtue es-
sential to success. 1t is the very es
sence of government. Without it an
archy would be the immediate result,
and as it accomplishes such things in
the management of a great nation, it
will, of course, be proportionately prof
table IN the management of any bust
ness, however small it may be. Let
US have more order, more system, in
the management of all our industries,
great or small, and the result will be
as pleasing as it is surprising.

A OWN REWARD.

The rewards Of honesty and I'm
swerving principle are sometimes slow,
but that in the end they are sure, and
greater for their slow coming, admits
of no question. Our principles are
sometimes severely tested, but this
testing is given US with a purpose.
Holding fast to honorable principles
is the basis upon which all sure sue
cesses are built, says the Tarboro
Southerner.
Some have to pass through more fire
than others, but I firmly believe that
the reward in the end is the greater to
those. What the world says of a man
matters little i'm such q struggle. 1t lie
the great inner satisfaction which
comes to q man that counts. That
you have, and that, in the end, will
win. It reflects itself in ones charac.
ter, in his dealings with men, and that,
sooner or later, is sure Of the recog-
milton it always commands and re

hr. W. Q. Hammer, who is q lawyer,

Ter, had a ase up before a magistrate
Of Asheboro. While the trial was in
progress, SO the story goes, the learned
justice took offence at some Of Mr..
Hammers remarks and sentenced the
editor to ten days in jail for contempt
of court. Mr.. Hammer demanded an
explanation, but it was not given. The
justice of the peace, still obdurated and
wrathy, ordered az officer to arrest Mr..
Hammer and that worthy Immediately
started to obey.
Mr.. Hammer, however, seems to
be somewhat of an athlete, and when
next the officer found his senses, a few
dozen Of stars were dancing before his
eyes, and Editor Hammer was still at
liberty. At last accounts, the worthy
magistrate had made no further at
tempt to execute the sentence and Mr..
Hammer has neither begun nor com
pleted his ten-days Of imprisonment.

NOT AT l. SMART.

Some Of our sound money exchanges
g 20 think that they r doing
something real smart when they can
mention that another country hes just
adopted the gold standard. We refer
particularly to Peru.
In our opinion Peru is not much Of
an example to hold up before the eyes
Of civilized people. But, if Peru were
one Of the leading nations, ranking
along with England and the United
States, the mere fact that the single
standard has been adopted, would not
be an argument in favor Of the idea.
England has it, but with all her won
derful resources, her experienced bust
ness men, manufacturers, shipping,
scientific farming, the advantage Of
being the largest creditor nation, that
country is decaying faster than did the
Roman empire. The United States has
been pratially under the single stand
ard since 1873, and completely Stree
1898. and what do we fndl A com
paratively sparsely settled country,
vast in extent, fertile as the best, with
an endless variety Of soil, climate and
products, both natural and manufac-
tured, dotted with great cities, towns,
and brought into close communication
by means Of electricity, steam, and
navigable water, yet on the downward
grade. The descent has been particu-
larly rapid since 1898. It is true that
part Of the business decentralization and
stagnation is due to trusts and the ex-
actions of powerful corporations. But
the single standard, the contraction Of
the medium of exchange, is the great
est lion q the path.
1t is not any more creditable to boast
that another country has adopted the
gold standard than it would be to an.
nounce that the proverbial ''bull in the
china shop" has just entered another
china shop to continue his work of de
struction, or to proclRim fresh outrages
by a band of brigands and cutthroats.
When another country adopts the gold
standard the fact only says to the
world that the law makers or rulers of
that country are at last completely un-
der the control of the money changers
and contractionists, and that they are
dividing the profits to accru from the
wreck and ruin Don to follow, for the
few hundred money changers are pre-.
pared to reap a harvest out Of the mis-.
fortunes Of the millions who are forced
to sacrifice their property, such as
lands, factories, railroads, stocks and
bonds.
