The Oldest Inhabitant of Wake County

Apex. N. c.. Sept. 16-(Special)-
county has resident that has passed
the one hundred year mark in the shape
OF an old colored woman living about
three BsiIes west of Apex, in White Oak
township: This old woman is 100 years
old, being born in 1892. She has been
a consistent member of Olives chapel
church white. for more than forty years,
and il is somewhat remarkable that she
never would associate or drift off with
Aer own color. Perhaps this woman has
more than dozen names. People that
knew her sixty years ago knew her as
Mary Armstead. but since the hate war
she has been recognized as Mary Will
Hams. her last owner being Robin Will
liams. deceased Everybody calls her
Mary ''Turnips. She isastill active as
q woman not more than 80 and can do
Il very good days work washing where
she pleases without even the aid of a
cane. If She was more intelligent we
might get a good deal of history Of this
section She remembers very distinctly
Ghe election of all our Presidents, the
war Of 1872 and war with Mexico. She
was old Aunt Mary as far back as the
eldest inhabitant of this section can
remember and what is more remarkable
she seems to be here for seyral years yet.
I noticed her at revival this week and
she prayed as earnestly as ever | heard
any one. No doubt but she is older than
any other person in Wake county per-
haps the oldest in North Carolina.

RRITElN'S BANK PRESERVE
10 HOLD ONE FIFTH IN SILVER PERMlS
slBLE UNDER LAW.
Banks Governor Proposes to do This Provided
the French Mint is Again Opened to
Free Coinage.

Tondon, Sept 16.-At the seml-annuai
pnaeting Of the Bank of England to-day,
aha governor. Hugh G. Smith, said:
aYou are probably aware OF the pro
rosals laid before the government Ill Tue
snmmer by the United States ana
France. whereby this country might III
crease its use of silver, as a contrlDu-
aion to an international agreement, when,
while not affecting our gold standaru,
might enable the minis of France ana
America to resume free coinage. Among
the nronosals was one asking the bank 10
hold the amount of silver permissible I'M
dor the act of 1914 as against It's notes.
The governor then read a letter, dated
-July %. addressed to the chancellor OF
.the exche1uer. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
Ls was as'follows:
referring to our conversation, we Deg
to say the bank is prepared to carry out
what is laid down as permissible IN the
hank charter. viz: To hold one fifth OF
tAe bullion, held against its note issue, In
silver. provided always that the French
mint is again open to the free coinage
Of silver and that the price at which
zifyer is procurable and salable are sat
lsfaetory."
Reply to the questions, the governor
Said the bank had had no negot 0tions
with she United States monetary COM
missioners, adding:
I'VE have bought no silver. All we
nave done is to agree, under certain
circumstances, to carry out what is
permissible under the act OF 1874

WHEN TO SELL COTTON.
(Gastonia Gazette.)

In our judgment it is a good thing for
farmers to be slow about putting new
cotton on the market. The crop will be
far from what it promised to be three
weeks ago. One farmer told us four or
ave days ago that if the dry weather held
on a week longer we should have the
shortest cotton crop in twenty years. The
dry weather has done its part; the most
favorable season from now on cannot add
materially to the yield. Now let cotton
move toward the prosperity mark.

THE ONLY SALARIES REDUCED
tOxford Public Ledger

There is great dissatisfaction among
the school teachers in the county ON ac-
count of the school board cutting down
salaries. You will hear something drop
after awhile. 1t is curious fact that the
reformers should cry "cut down all sal
aries and fees" but took particular pans
not to do it. Now they must do some
thing, and the poor, hard-worked school
teachers are the victims. Great is re-
form under the pie-hunting Russell-But-

NEW YORK, March 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: Though steadily in
creasing business is still much below
it's volume in former years of pros
perity and many express disappoint-
ment, yet there is gain every week
with more hands at work and more
mills in operation and the sure result,
large purchases for consumption,
cannot he long delayed. In some
branches ii is felt already. There is
large purchasing for consumption.
There ia a large distribution of
finished products and the demand for
commercial loans has sharply in
creased, especially in dry goods and
the iron and steel branches. The
progress of the iron and steel indus
try is hindered by the uncertainty
regarding cost of lake ore for the
coming year, though the repeated
adjournment of the producers meet
ing is interpreted as evidence that an
agreement will be beultimately reached.
1t ia reported that no Erie ore at
$2.75 will be taken al the basis, which
would imply about $2.35 for Messa-
bic ores, but until the question has
been settled many important trans
actions are deferred"

The States Duty To The Prisoner.

The average age of the convicts of
the United States is not far from 26
years. Therefore, the men constitut-
ing this body are undevelOped men,
so far as age is concerned, and, as
already stated, they are undeveloped
in their moral and intellectual fac
ulties-in fact, they are undeveloped
in all directions, except to a certain
extent i'm the criminal tendency which
comes from theirenvirOnment. They
are also, to a very large extent,
short-term men. Acareful classified
ton of the cOnvicts of the country
shows that six-eights are short-term
prisoners, one-eight incorrigible, and
one eight amenable to reformatory
efforts. These proportions are fairly
correct; they may be a little too large
or a little too small, but practically
they may be admitted. 1t cannot
make very much difference what sys.
tenn is employed, SO that prices and
wages are not affected, when the
short-term men are considered. There
is not much gained, whether in the
interest OF the State, or OF the com.
munity, or of the convicts, in putting
them at work under one system oi
labor as against another. They must
be employed; their minds must be oc.
cupied, and their hands utilized. II
