A FINGER FOR HER NOSE.

It is due to the skillful surgery of
DR.. Joseph P. Tunis, of Philadelphia,
that Mrs. John Edwards, Chester, Pa,
has a nose like anybody else. The
third finger is missing from Mrs. Ed,
wards right hand, but it is now a part
of her face, for it was grated there to
form a new nose for her. Mrs. Ed
wards was admitted to the Methodist
Episcopal Hospital late in the fall to be
treated for a canceroLs growth. This
aiIment was carefully treated and
checked, but it had left an unsightly
blemish where the patients nose had
been. Mrs. Edwards grieved a great
deal over the facial Disagreement, and,
when Dr.. Tunis suggested a remedy,
she Immediately agreed to undergo the
operation, by means of which one Of
her fingers was to be made to take
the place of her g
The patient was etheriz:d, and the
operation begun. DR.. Tunis cut off the
end joint of the third finger of her
right hand and disarticulated the re-
manning two bones. The hand was
neld in position over Mrs. Edwards
face, and the homeless flesh was laid
over the damaged nose and stitched to
the face. Bandages of ~crinoline, spread
with plaster of paris, were wrapped
about the patients body, holding the
arm firmly in place. The hand and re
naming fingers we're padded to prevent
m~aceration of the face, and for three
weeks Mrs. Edwards remained in that
position. Her hand almost entirely
covered her face, and it was necessary
to feed her by NEAR of a tube inserted
into the left corner of her mouth. DC
casionally the bRndages we're removed,
but the hand was never allowed to
change it's position.
The finger was FIRMLY grated to the
face. 1t was then treated with a pre-
paration of cocaine and was severed
from the hand. Both wounds we're
dressed and the patient was none the
worse for the operation. She was
much better off, as O matter of fact,
for the new nose was quite as good as
the average PERSONS. The nasal pas
sages, which had not been affected by
the cancerous ailment, had been
packed with iodoform gauze and the
u~ostrils were thereby preserved. Mrs.
Edwards has left the hospital with a
new nose, hardly less perfect in form
than her original one.

NEW JERSEY JOURNALISTS.

A party of New Jersey newspaper
men. some of them accompanied by
their wives, have been the guests Of
this State several days. They first
went to Charlotte and enjoyed the hos
pitality of that progressive city. Then
they came back to Southern Pines and
spent a day and night there, They
travelled over the Seaboard Air Line
on a special train. On Friday
ing a party of ladies and gentlemen
left Raleigh at 10 a. m. for Southern
Pines to escort the visitors to Raleigh.
Several Raleigh editors were in the
party. The Raleighites took dinner at
Pinehurst, the ideal winter resort
owned by MIR. Tuft, the millionaire soda
fountain manufacturer. In addition
to the beauties Of Pinehurst, they saw
the $40 acre orchard, owned by the
Van Lindley Orchard Company, which
ia a sight never to be forgotten. At 3
p. m. the party Joined the Jersey
editors and returned to Raleigh at $50.
An hour was spent in the State Museum
and this wonderful exhibit of the re-
sources of the State astonished the
Northern editors. ALI said it was far
beyond their expectations, even though
they had heard many glowing reports
of our museum.
At 9 p. m. the editors and many citi
zens of Raleigh went to the Governors
Mansion to attend the reception given
in honor Of the visitors. Governor
and Mrs. Russell charmed all by their
cordial welcome. The Mansion was
brilliantly lighted and the decorations
were tasteful. An elegant collation.
was served in the Stale dining hall.
Miss Petty, Of Moore county, and Miss
| Smith of Peace Institute, were present
and kindly consented to sing, and
added much to the enjoyment Of the
evening. Mr.. Frank W. Baldwin, of
the Orange, N. J., Chronicle, spoke in
behalf of the editorial party, and was
very lavish in praise Of the people he
and his friends have met. Mayor Russ
was called upon for q speech, but craw-
fshed and compromised by singing his
famous song, Down on de Old Cape
Fear" and was heartily applauded.
Unfortunately, rain ~interferred with
the drive around the city which had
been planned for Saturday morning,
The visitors made a very favorable i'm
preston and we hope they will come
again. They left for their homes Wis
the Seaboard Air Line at IL: 35 Satur
day morning.

making it next to impossible for the
delegates to attend, especially those
who llvsi some distance from the place

usual on account Of the continued rains

that is entirely devoted to his welfare.
People in other avocations give as

EDITORIAL NOTES.


The New Jersey editors came, saw
and conquered.
The tariff bill has passed the House.
Now look out for the advance agent OF
the prosperity combination.
The ladies delight in going shopping
and some of the men devote much OF
their time to buckeG shopping.
Col. John s. Mosby, the famous Con
federate Guerilla, has been put on the
eligible list for the U. 8. Consulship to
Havana.
The wave of prosperity has struck
the United Press Association and il
goes to the bottom Of the sea Of unful
filled promises.
Judging from the tone of the little
railroad organs and other agents of
monopoly, the ''reformers' have been
hitting them pretty hard.
Most of the County Alliances will
meet this week. There should be a
full attendance of delegates. Take a
day off in the interest Of your families
and your country.
1t is estimated that the farmers of
this State will use more than So, GOO, OOO
worth ofcommercial fertilizer this
year. That is a considerable drain,
but is nothing like some other drains
that might be mentioned-the single
standard, for instance.
Another sound money man has
placed his foot in it. This time it is E

Morehead Banking Co., at Durham.
Lineberry eloped with something like

has returned to Durham and will settle
the shortage. Col. Joseph Pie Cald-
well, of the Charlotte Observer, and
Col. Weary Wabbly Haywood, of the
Raleigh Tribune, the two immaculate
sound money advocates, are requested
to give us some easier object lessons in
honest money" methods. 1t is too
expensive for the stockholders.

bad enough if it was all paid to our
own capitalists, but $3.50, 900, 600 is paid
to foreign creditors and everE+year we
must send abroad our cotton and wheat
and other products to bring it back,
and this must berepeated year by year.
But this billion of dollars must pay
each year all the government, state and
municipal expenses which will about
take it all. In addition it must pay for
the farmers crops, the manufacturers
goods and the wages of all the labor
ers. Is not this an overbig job for a
billion Of dollars to do. Can it possibly
pay each year a billion and a half in
interest, another billion in government
debts, and still get around fast enough
to pay the farmers good prices for their
crops and the laborers good prices for
their labor. If it can you may look
again for prosperous times, if not you
may continue to look for low prices
and work hard to find, even at low
prices. Nothing can restore prosperity
but a large increase in the number Of
legal tender dollars. Peoples Party

Ever since the New York bankers
precipitated the panic of 1893 upon the
country in order to defeat the restora
ton of silver to free coinage, the woods
have been full of people who prophe-
sled a return of prosperous times in the
immediate future upon certain contin-
gencies or conditions. First, it was
the Sherman purchasing act. The law
was repealed. Then it was the shrink
ing gold reserve. Cleveland sold bonds
and increased the eserve. Teen it was
the fear Of a silver coinage law. The
election of Mckinley and a congress in
favor of q gold basis has done away
with all possibility of a free coinage Of
silver law, and yet times grow harder
and harder. AS a last effort we are to
have a higher tariff and try to tax the
people into prosperity. 1t will fail as
the others have failed. The financial
doctors have made a wrong diagnosis
Of the disease and are applying wrong
remedies. The Secretary of the Treas
ury reports the amount Of money of all
sorts In the country at g, 345, 600, 900 of
which 1919, 900, OCO are locked up in the
United States Treasury, leaving 81
$50, 600, 600 in circulation. In his cal
culations he does not allow that a sin
gle dollar, gold, silver or paper has
ever been lost or destroyed in any
manner, MOI in reporting the amount
IN circulation does he take any account
of the amounts which the law compels
all banks to hold in reserve, not to be
loaned out under any circumstances
whatever.
Now everybody knows that money
of all sorts is being lost and destroyed,
one way and another, all the time,
hence when we subtract this lost
money and the bank reserves from the
amount given as in circulation we will
have a cum far below the Secretary's
figures. If an accurate estimate Of
any kind of money should be made, it
should be cur gold money, because, as
everybody knows, it is not in the hands
of the people. What gold there is must
be in the treasury and in the banks.
The amount in the treasury and in the
banks r known and it falls about
$3.50, 600, 900 short.
It would be difficult for the Secretary
to show that as much as 81, OOQ, 900, 900
was in the hands of the people or where
the people could get it.
Now let US see what this n billion
dollars is called upon to do each year.
Statisticians estimate that the indebt,
edness of the country is from twenty
to forty billions of dollars. Let US call
it thirty billion. At an average of five
per cent the annual interest will be
81, 500, 100000. That is for each dollar
in circulation we must pay every year
81 80 in interest. Now this would be

Mr. EDIToR:-If your readers will
read the following article taken from
the Washington Post, twice, and put it
away for reference, they need not read
any more on the financial question till
next election. W. J. PEELE.
Editor POst:-In this mornings cable
to the Times Mr.. Smalley reports from
Washington an interesting interview
with the President. Mr.. SmaIley's
hitherto mistaken conviction has been
that the ST. Louis bimetallic ''plank"
was --dishonest-a mere vote catcher.
His interview with the President, has
clearly convinced him that the Presi-
dent, at least, is in earnest in his desire
TO secure an international settlement.
The Times correspondent ia TO be
congratulated On his discovery if he
~perseveres he may find in the public
life Of the United States other honest
men. The view has been sedulously
fostered By New York critics in the
London press, that half the American
nation has struck its flag to anarchy,
and that the other half won the day
last November by a platform so tricky
as to involve, in classic phrase, "party
perfdy and party dishonor." Mr..
Smalley's present voyage of discovery,
from Manhattan Island to the little
known District of Columbia, is certain
ly worth while, if it has carried toAhis
mind the conviction that the leader of
a party, who declared for bimetallism
before the election does not stand a re-
vealed mono metallist, now that the
election has been won.

monetary agreement, to which many

AN ABLE ADDRESS.

The anniversary address of Mr..
Robt. N. Sims, son of Rev. A. NJ. Sims,
pastor Of Raleigh Baptist Tabernacle,
which we publish in this issue, is one
of the best we have ever read. Mr..
Sims is a student at Wake Forest Col
lege, and his speech gives evidence of
thorough research, and that he is a
thinker along the right lines.
1t is gratifying to know that many
of our young men are not living in ages
gone by; that they have escaped the
communicating Influences of a narrow
a~ristocracy, which, while it has been
bufeted around by men and women of
to day, still crops out among people
who have been a little more fortunate
than their neighbors.
Young Mr.. Sims inherited good sense
and the right kind of a heart. This
wasfollowedup with excellent parental
training, and he has not departed from
it. II he will only continue to allow
the God-given sentiment that pervades
his anniversary address to be his guild
ing star in the future, he will make a
great and good citizen, no matter what
profession he may adopt.
