Two SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEWS.

We publish elsewhere, from the Wash
ington Post, an interview with Senator
Teller and Representative Champ
Clark, two of the ablest men in the
West. Their plain and confident talk
about the money question will send
cold chills down the spine of those fel
lows who have been burying the silver
question anew since the Democratic
gain of many members of the House at
the last election.
1t may be that the combined trusts
of the country can buy the election in
1900, but they cannot win otherwise.
With the Philippine question settled,
the people will demand a consideration
of home problems. They know that the
contraction of the currency and the
trusts are the twins that prevent such
equal prosperity as fertile fields ought
to secure. And they will make the
death of these twin evils the oyershad-
owing issue of the campaign of 1900,
and it will take more money than Han
ma can raise to buy the Presidency
again.

Additional Testimony as to
the Merits of
Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy.

A gentlemen remarked recently that
had a>strangcr or an outsider come TO
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy had made, the people would
have been stirred as never before Read
this and suppose a case:
Eleven years ago ] had child that
was delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed pOwerless TO
control the bowel trouble, which had
become chronic dysentery. She also
suffered from some aggravated blood
trouble, which caused large sores and
risings to break out on her body. Oft
time there would be as many as 20 or
-. We had several doctors to treat her
at different times, but nothing reached
her ease. They would lance these ris-
ings. but as soon as one was cured an
other broke out, and the doctors gave
me no hope of her cure. After she had
led a life of agony and suffering for
six months, | was inspired TO try Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy. There was q
change for the better in twenty-four
hours, it seemed to check the bowels at
once, and after using a few bottles my
child was entirely cured. and has never
since had any sign of the troubles, and
is now in perfect health. A few years
after this | had two sores to break out
on ny ankle. and strange to say | did
not think Of Mrs Joe Persons Remedy.
/ was under the treatment of doctors for
years, but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone.
then though of trying Mrs. Joe Per
sons Wash and did so, and it is almost
useless to say it soon made cure.
| wish ] could speak so that every
man, woman and child. in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that l might tell
them what Mrs Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine. / adj
vised one of my friends who had been
a terrible suffer for long time. with
nurses sore mouth. She used the Rene
dy and Wash, and it soon made a cure.

of my friends, for indigestion and other
ailments. and / have never known it to
fail to cure yet. There is no medicine

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THEIR OPPOSITION WILL NOT
AVAIL.

Charlotte Observer.
The Raleigh News and Observer says
that the RAILROADS will fight vigorously
the separate car bill when it comes be-
fore the Legislature. OF course; that
has all the while been foreseen; but this
opposition should not prevent the enact
mcnt of the bill into law. Mr.. L. NJ.
Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast Line,
says in an interview that the best way
in the world to keep the races separate
is to keep the two fares-first and second
class-as now That may be all
right for the Coast Line, but we folks
in this part of the country know that
it doesn't work up here. The real OBJ
lection of the railroads to this law is
that in many cases it will require them
to haul more ears. That is all right
that is what some of them need to do
anyhow. For instance, it is no unusual
thing at all for the fast mail of the
Southern Railway TO come into Char
lotte with passengers standing in the
aisles, being thus unjustly denied the
accommodations for which they have
paid the charge. Let us have the sep
arate ear law, and where the railroads
cannot so divide their present cars as
to afford proper separate accommoda-
tons for the two races, let them add
others to their trains.

1t is no longer : cent cotton. But
few North Carolina farmers have re-
ceived more than four and three quar-
tiers for their cotton this year and the
average price has been but little above
four and n half cents a pound. The
more cotton we produce at these prices
the poorer we get. Some, like DR.. Kill
60, tell us that 'laziness" is the cause
of our poverty, while others say it is
overproduction. Whatever the cause
we must diversity our crops and raise
our supplies at home. The country at
this time is largely governed by trusts
and combinations organized to rob the
producers. and we must become indie
pendent of them by raising on our own
farms as nearly as possible all we con-
sumo. We are blessed in Norh Caro-
lima with low direct tax rate, that is
on real and personal property, and if
we produce ut home most of what we
consume we will contribute less to the
Golfers of the trusts.

The imperial policy does not seem to
be popular in North Carolina If the
decisions of the college debates are a
good criterion. Trinity WON against
expansion in the debate in Raleigh and
the Dir society won in debate az
the University against imperialism.
North Carolina has an old fashioned
notion that it is better to solve the prob
lem at ones own door before taking
others and graver ones.

BEACON LIGHTS.
The Great FInisterre Light the Gift
OF "a Woman.

The Great Finisterre Light the Gtft
OF "a Woman.
The great Finisterre beacon, which
is to throw its rays from the coast of
France far over the dangerous sea, is
interesting enough in itself-in its won
derful construction and its marvellous
power. But it gains a new interest
from the circumstance that il is paid
for by a legacy TO the government of
France, a woman's memorial TO her
father. The legacy amounted to S60,-
600, and is attractive from its strange
ness. With the exception of the light
which the United STATES is soon to put
on the tower of Barnegat, the Finisterre
light Is incompatible with any other.
1t is housed in a solid, imposing light
house close TO the old beacon; and when
the big bull's-eye lens has intensified its
flash it throws over the water light
that is calculated at 36,6OO,OOO candle
power. This il is claimed, Is a greater
power Of illumination than the four
largest beaoons in England combined,
and II is calculated that if the surface
Of the earth were fiat It could be seen
for 100 miles. As IL is, it only falls be-
low the horizon for the sailor in the
crosstrees at a distance of 21 nautical
miles, The light which is used is OF
itself OF 6,000-capdle power; It flashes
for one second and is I'm eclipse for
five. 1t is expected that the Barpegat
light will duplicate that at Finisterre
in each particular, and land lubber
can hardly see why we should ask for
more than that. Romance and poetry
have dealt very tenderly, as, Of course,
they should, with the flashing lights
Of the roclS-bound coast, and IL would
sound like high treason, inhumanity,
or something dreadful, to suggest that
to the idler on the rocks they are gem
orally too small to be beautiful and
too monotonous to be charming. But
when one is at sea, it is very different
matter and the light has more OF con-
cern, watchfulness and affection than
ever romancer or poet has told Of it,
Night after night an unheard cheer
for the Scilly lights rolls over the wa
ter from Atlantic liners; night after
night Fire Island light is Americas

Stories of the Charming Politehess
Of the Great Frenchman.
Many charming stories have been told
by old Indies who were in their prime
when Lafayette made his second visit
TO America, of the gallant Franchman's
courtesy.
On the day of his public reception in
Virginia he rode in an open carriage
without his hat, exposed TO the rays of
brilliant sun, bowing TO the crowds
always ready to greet him. There
was some apprehension that sun
stroke might be the penalty of his po-
likeness; but the marquis was an old
soldier. Before leaving home he had
put damp towel into his capacious
wig, and protected by this helmet, he
could indulge his French politeness
with impunity. French and American
revolutions and Austrian dungeons had
taught him the art of self-preseryation.
The most charming story is Of earlier
date-his visit TO the mother of Wash
ington. He found her in the garden.
raking together dried weeds and sticks,
preparatory TO n bonfire, arrayed in a
linsey skirt, sack and broad -brimmed
hat tied over the plated border of her
cap.
The hostess met the situation with
the composure Of n duchess. Dropping
her rake, she took between her bare
palms the hand of the nobleman extend
ed, as he bowed before her, and said;
"Ah, marquis! You have come to see
an old woman. can make you wei
come without changing my dress. lam
glad to see you. I have often heard my
son George speak Of you. But come in
Preceding him into her living-room
she placed herself opposite him, erect
as girl Of 1s, never touching the tall
straight back of her chair, whilst she
listened TO the praises of her son poured
forth by the eloquent Frenchman.
Then she mixed with her own hands q
cooling drink and offered it to the gen
eral with plate Of homemade ginger
cakes. The man of the world accepted
the beverage as simply and gracefully
as 1t was rendered, pronounced it de
licious, and arose to go. Would she
give him her blessing?
She looked up to Heaven, folded hei
