PROSPERITY.
Wilsnn Times.l

The Compromised prosperity on the
gold standard under Mckinley SIN is at
hand. We have cotton Mt about cents
per pound. and everything else we sell
in prices. As an Offset to
that however we nay more for -four than
we did before McI<inley's election. Also
we have considerable increase in the a.
mount of taxes we pay since the State
hands. These things are mani
fest and not imaginary so that all can
see the kind of prosperity we have.
But Notwithstanding the improvement
in business. and the tariff so helpful TO
the manufacturers. the government still
mana ges TO keep the silver dollar able TO
do duty. Even the great expansion in
the volume of trade has not imperiled
the ability of the silver dollar to buy
as MUCH silver what we do
rs much as gold dollar. SO that al
though we do not get much silver what
we do get is good.
P. d. GOLD.

DURHAM NOTES.
Public Building for Durham-What Is
Happening in That Progressive CITY.

Durham n. c., Nov. 12-(Special.)-
| The talk of a public building for Dur
ham is still on. 1t does seem that il the
| amount OF revenue that Durham an
nualy contributes to the government
cuts any figure that ii would liz very
easy matter to secure the appropriat: ton
necessary. Senator Butler was able to
show the Senate the justice of such an
appropriation, but it slumbers in the
House of Representatives. For the
month of October Durham paid more
revenue than it would take to give us
such ii building rs our necessities re-
quirc.

Wilson, y. c., Nov. 12.-tSpecian--
The report of the grand july on The con-
dit.on OF the poor house OF this county
shows Il condition of affairs that must
bring blush of shame 10 the face Of
any man OF character. The report shows
that the inmates ale neglected and tn"
necessary of life withheld from them;
that the keeper of the institution has
neglected his duty TO the inmates to 4,
shameful degree. The report of the

of tie reformation that has swept over
the State. 1he grand jury making thi,

Popuiists.
Court adjourned here last night and
Judge Undertake left for his home in
Louishurg this morning. A good deal OF
business has been disposed of and some
old cases that have long numbered the

The case Involving the legality of the
road law was disposed of by the grant
ing Of an injunction to prevent the col
lection of the road tax, and the case
will at once be taken up to the SUPREME
court A similar case will go up from
Greene county.
This law which was passed by the
last legislature with the utter absence
of discretion and judgment that has
characterized so many of the laws pass

THEY MEANT IT.
And There is to he no Back Down by
the Democracy.
(Statesville Mascot.)

(Statesville Mascot)
There is one lesson which should not
fail to be learned from the result of the
elections last week and that lesson is.
that the Democratic party meant it,
when it declared for free silver at Chi
cago last year, and that in future con-
tests silver is to be the party shibboleth.
Those Democrats who opposed their par
ty platform and who still hoped that
It would renounce silver should now see
their error. The majority OF the party
sees prosperity and good times in free
silver. Will not our friends, who have
had different views, now re-study the
question in the light of its being the
cardinal doctrines of the Democratic
faith. and be. convinced that they are
wrong and the party right? Or will they
not suspend their judgment until their
party has been given chance to test
the wisdom of its chief contention?
Right or wrong. the Democratic party
believes in free silver and it's future con-
tests are to be to give it life in our
laws. The term "gold Democrat" grows
more and more misnomer.

Mr. james Rowland, of this village,
states that for twent y-five years his
wife has been sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read Of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and
instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured a bottle
of it. His wife did not approve OF Mr..
Rowland's purchase at first, but never
theless applied the Balm thoroughly, and
in an hours time was able to go to
sleep She now applies it whenever she
feels an ache or a pain and finds that 1t
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did
her as much good. The 25 and 90 cent

Double Track to the Weet.

The matter of double tracking the
lines of the c.. 4. l. & P. railway be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri
river has been one that has occupied
the attention of the board Of direc-
tors for a number Of years past. The
double track has been extended from
Chicago to Farnam. the small station
about five miles west OF the Daven-
port depot, and the rebuilding of the
bridge at this point. and replacing
the old structure with a double track
bridge, the finest Of its kind in the
world. filled up the missing link. 1t
is stated upon authority that the
matter Of double tracking the main
line to the west is only a question OF
time, and that the work is likely to
be commenced in the near future.
Nothing will be done this year as q
matter Of course, as the season for
railroad construction is drawing to q
close, but there is q chance and more
q probability that the work will be
taken up next year. 1t is stated by
an official OF the road in position to
know that he thinks something will
be done in q short time. He states
that the first work will be between
Farnam and West Liberty. as the ar
with that road and the
B., c. r & N. to the north make a
free use OF this strip Of track impera-
tive.
