LADY TENNYSON.

(Hamilton w. Mabie in the November
Atantic.)
In 1880, says Mr.. Mabie in the No
yember Atlantic on a path in a wood at
Somersby, Tennyson came unexpectedly
upon a slender, beautiful girl of seven
teen, and impusively said to her, "Are
you a dryad or an Dread wandering
here" Six years later he met Emily
/ Sellwood again, on the occasion of the
marriage of his brother Charles to her
youngest sister. The friepdshin rinened
| into love, but for lack SO As@HS the
marriage did not take place until June,
1850, the month in which In Memoriam
was published. The cake and dresses
came too late, and the wedding was so
quiet that Tennyson declared it was the
incest wedding he had ever attended.
OF his wife he said, many years later,
1.-THE peace of God came into my life be-
fore the altar when / welded her." OF
this marriage the son writes: 'It was
she who became my fathers adviser in
| literary matters. Il am proud of her in
| telligence,' he wrote. With her he al
ways discussed what he was working at:
she Transcribed his poems; to her, and
to no one else, he referred for final
cIIIclsul ueAoIe puDlisuluB' one, WIUn
her tender, spiritual nature and In
stinctive nobility OF thought, was al
ways by his side, ready, cheerful,
courageous, wise, and sympathetic coun-
sellor. 1t was she who shielded his SEN
sitiye spirit from the annoyances and
trials of life, answering for example,
the innumerable letters addressed to
him from all parts or the world. BY
her quiet sense OF humor, by her selfless
devotion, by her faith as clear as the
heights Of the June-blue heaven, she
helped him also to the utmost in the
hours Of his depression and his sorrow;
and to her he wrote two of the most
beautiful OF his shorter lyrics, Dear,
near and true ana the dedicatory lines
which prefaced his last volume, The
Death Of 0En0ne."

TAXES ARE HIGHER.
Statement Of the Increase OF Taxes I'm
der Fusion Rule in Robson County.
Numberton Robesonian.l

The tax on every man in the county is
fully one-third higher this year than
last the special tax being % cents on the
800 worth of property and 70 cents on
the poll. In one or two townships there
is an additional special tax of 10 cents
on the 500, making the total special
tax Al cents. TO put it palmer, taxes
last year were G6 2-3 cents on the 500
worth Of property and 50 on the poll.
This year taxes are 81 % cents ON the
500 worth of property and $2.75 on the
poll This applies to every tax payer in
the county except where the additional
tax of IL cents is levied, which makes
the total $1.07 % on the 500. TO il
lustrate: The man who listed $1,000
worth Of property and n poll paid last
year $G.G7 and 50, total Of SS.67. This
year the same man pays $9.17 and 1915,
total of S11.92. LIN the townships
where the extra 16 cents is levied he
pays $10.77 aud 1915, total of 1882.
Those Populists who say taxes are not
increased either don't know what they
are talking about or are telling DELHI
crate falsehoods for the purpose of de-
ceiVing ignorant and credulous people.
In either event they should keep their
mouths shut or else speak the truth.

the gold standard party to deceive the
people with the cry that a silver dollar
| will buy as much as a gold dollar, but
where is the gold dollar? We do not see
1T 1t is represented by the silver dollar,
and we do not have the gold dollar at
lall. We want both as equal money, as
lit was up to 1872.
| Then we would have two dollars where
we now have only one, or rather we
would have both gold and silver in cir
Iculation.
| If q man thinks he has both horse
land mule, but he cannot use his morse
at ALL but must keep him in the stall all
the time, and any time he takes his
mule out to use he must leave his horse
in the stable as a pledge that he will
bring the mule back-so that he is really
using only one, is he as well off as if he
used both mule and horse?
! The double standard would give us
both gold and silver to use in circulation,
or both the mule and the horse. The
single gold standard compels us to keep
the horse (god) in the vaults as a pledge
for the good behavior of the mule Tor
silver and we cannot use both.
This gives the advantage greatly to
those that hold the money of the coun-
try over the poor. For the less money
there is in circulation the harder it is to
obtain, while those that have money can
.opprsess the poor.
The curse on those that love money
will fall in many ways upon them. The
love of money is the root of all evil.
while they that seek after it greedily
will pierce themselves through with
many sorrows which drown men in de-
struction and pealtion.

HOMELY ARGUMENTS.
That Shows the Strength of the Argu-
ment for Free Coinage Of Silver.
Wilson Times.l

The United States government de-
lclared silver was not money in 1872. or
Idemonetized it then. Up to that time
the commercial value Of bar silver was
I129, or about that. Now its commercial
value is 5S1k or less than one-half its
value then. The officials Of the govern
mrrnt now say that is it's value.
While the government gave us the
double standard, or issued silver as
money equally with gold, regarding sill
yer as money rs the bible and our faith
ers had done before, we enjoyed much
financial prosperity.
Since the government witholds silver
as money, and limits us to the gold
standard great poverty is on us. The
value % money Is increasing while the
property Is constantly decreasing.

The following letter written to Bishop
John Z. Newman by Rev. Thomas T..
Wood, a missionary in South America,
bears high but well-deserved testimony
to the career of Rev. w. E. Edmondson,
a chaplain in the United States Navy.
Brother Edmondson is an old Wesley
Hall" man, and a member of the North
Carolina Conference, one of the few if
not the only chaplain in our Navy from
, the Southern Methodist church. We
are sure our readers will enjoy the pc
rusal Of this high tribute to his worth
from a foreign miss ,Onary:
"Bishop j. L. Newman, San Francisco,
Cal.-Dear Bishop: We owe you spe-
cial thanks for introducing to lis Chap
lain Edmondson, Of the flagship Phila-
delphia. His broadminded sympathy,
special courteses, aud opportune coop
Grafton have filed us with esteem and
fondness for him. o, that such a man
were TO be found on every one of our
naval sSels-unfOrtunately not the
case-so that our coming and going
might always bring sympathy and CO.
operation for the missionaries instead Of
scorn and reproach as it often does,
which sometimes amounts to aid and
comfort to our enemies!
The officers of the Philadelphia have
treated us with unusual courtesy, from
the Admiral down. / attribute this large
ly to the way in which Chaplain Ed
mondson treated us, organizing a service
on board in which we were invited TO
participate. throwing us into favorable
contact with ali on board, facilitating
our access to them from first to last,
and promoting and facilitating their ac-
cess ito us. We were extraordinarily
busy, and without this extraordinary IA
cilitating we would probably have given
them but little attent on, and received as
little from them. We have settled into
the habit of being treated by our navy
officers with contemplate contempt and
of treating them as not worth our time
or thought. This unfortunate tendency
was broken in the case Of the Philadel-
phia by the fact that a live chaplain
on board was able through you to put
full confidence in us from the start, and
was so related to all parties that he be-
came the providential agent to break
the spell on both sides For this we are
grateful, and wish to express to you,
through the hand of Chaplain Edmond
son, our gratitude for your recommend
ing him to us as you did.
Yours faithfully,
THOMAS B. WOOD.

The remedy for farmers is to produce
all they eat, such as corn, wheat, pork,
milk and butter, fruits-feed for horses,
mules, cattle, etc, and buy as little rs
possible Have good schools in the
country. Too many are moving to town.
Build up the country. Improve your
lands, your society, educate your child
rem at home. Teach them to labor, and
not to despise it.
In the town the question is asked,
what shall we do with our daughters
Too many of them are brought up to
think only of dressing, going with boys,
riding bicycles, spending their time fool
isnly. Teach them to labor-to cook,
sew, make clothing, etc, by putting them
at it. Teach your boys to do farm work.
We should quit buying so much. No
wonder we are so poor. We will get
worse and worse every year until we
return TO the industrial and economical
ways of the bible. Read Proverbs 81.

WHY?
(Wilson Times.)

A few days ago l was told, by one
well informed, that cotton yarns are
sold now at Is cents per pounds out of
cotton costing cents per pound-a
profit or more than 100 per cent. The
same informant said that last spring they
sold yarns at 13 cents, out of cotton
that cost them 7 cents. Now he said
ders.
Why is this? Is there a ring among
the manufacturers? Farmers ought to
share a reasonable profit with others.
They earn as much--labor as hard-live
as scantily. Why is this?

OPEN MINTs IN FRANCE.
Is One of the Conditions Laid Down
by the Bank of England.

London Sept. 16.-At the semi-annual
meeting of the Bank of England today
the governor, George E. Sandeman, said
You are probably aware of the pro-
posals laid before the government in the
summer by the United States and France,
whereby this country might increase its
use of silver as a contribution to an in
ternational agreement which while not
affecting our gold standard, might enable
the mints of France and America to re-
sumo free coinage. Among the proposals
was one asking the bank to hold the
amount of silver permissible under the
act of 1914 as against its notes.
The governor then read letter dated
July 29, addressed to the chancellor of
the exchequer. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
1t was as follows:
referring to our conversation, we beg
to say the bank is prepared to carry out
what is laid down as permissible in the
bank charter viz: to hold One-fifth of the
bullion held against its note issue in sill
YER provided, always, that the French
mint is again open to the free coinage OF
silver and that the price at which silver
is procurable and saleable is satisfac>
tory"
Replying to the questions, the governor
said the bank had no negotiations with
the United States monetary commission,
adding: I'VE have bought no silver All
we have done is to agree under certain
circumstances to carry out what is per-
nissable under the act of 1874
