SENATOR JONES ON CO-OPERA
TION.
y late issue of the Fayetteville OBJ
server contains the following letter from
Senator Jones:

Senator Jones:
Democratic National Convention,
Office of the Chairman.
Washington. March 81, 1898.
Maj. II. j. Hale, Fayetteville, n. c.:
My Dear Sir: | take the liberty OF
enclosing you copy of an address issu-
ed some time since by the Chairman of
the National COMMITTEES favoring BIZ
metallism. | suppose you have already
seen this, but as / believe that our
success i'll 1900 depends upon the ac-
compishment of the programme there
III marked out. / take the liberty of
writing this letter.
] see no hope of success in 1900 ex-
cept through the cooperation of all be-
levers in bimetallism. The Republicans,
in my opinion, recognize the fact that
they are beaten if we all get together;
hence they are usingp every effort now
to SOW seeds Of discord and prevent our
acting together. Our success in this
great cause is beyond question infinitely
more important to us us Il party, and
to the people generally, than anything
else i'll politics can be at this time. I
hope that the good people of North Caro-
lima are aroused to the necessity of this
course. Discussions and divisions there
will not be confined in their bad effect to
that State, but the influence will be felt
i'll other localities where the greatest
harm would result. 1t is necessary to
bring all our people together as heartily
and earnestly as possible i'll every State
i'll the Union, if we hope to succeed in
the contest in 1900 | shall be very glad
to hear from you il you can take the
time to drop me line. would like to
know your views of the situation and
the prospects of complete cooperation in
your State.
Very truly yours,

Cost of solomon,a Temple.

A noted statistician has figured out the real cost of Solomou's Temple. The talents" of gold, silver and brass were equal to $34, 399, 110, ,O00. The worth of the jewels is placed at an equal sum. The vessels of gold, according to Josephus, were valued at 10000 talents, equal to g, ,876, 481, ,015. The vessels of silver, according to the same authority, were still more valuable, being set down as worth $3, 431 720, 900. Priests vestments and the robes of singers, $10, 050, GOO and the trumpets $1,OO0, 900. To these startling figures is to be ad- ded the expense of the building ma terial, labor, etc. The materials in the rough are estimated at $11, 226,- 6S5, 900. The total, which we are told by no means expresses the whole cost, is about $52, IF, 034, 76f
 Here is a grand total of $127, 534, 505, ,867, before which the combined wealth of the Rothschilds, ,,Rockefell- CT, Goulds, Astors and Vanderbilts sinks into insignificance-they are not Gin it. :" These figures would re- move the surprise of little girl of our acquaintance who, after listen ing to chapter from the Bible, re- marked that she didn't see how Solomon could clothe so many wives when her papa was hard put to 1t to buy clothes for one.-New Orleans States.

M. A. Hud son for Assessor

The announcement of MT Marion A. Hudson, of Locust Cottage, as Q candidate for County Tax Assessor, will be found in today's announce ment column. Mir Hudson has al- ways been a consistent and hard- working Democrat, and, of course, his candidacy is subject to the ac- tion of the Democratic primaries on May 7th. He was born and raised in this county, and with the excep- tion of seven years residence in Lincoln county his entire life has been spent in Jefferson county. He Las always been an upright aud in dustrious citizen and an enthusias- tie Democrat He is a man of in- telligence and ability and is amply capable of filling the office he seeks. Four years ago he was candidate for the same office and came out second in the race. During that campaign hemade many friends who could not support him then but who will eheerfully do so now. He therefore promises to be a strong candidate in the race. Should he be nominated and elected, he will make the people of Jefferson county a most capable and efficient Asses sor. He is in every way worthy of and qualified for the office to which he aspiras and his claims are deserv- ing of the serious consideration of his fellow Democrats.

No Right to Be Bad Temnered.

A curious question arises ill oonneo- tion with an essay in "The Ideal Life, " book made up of the writings of Rev. Henry Drummond and brought out since his death. The contents consist of ad- dresses delivered by Drummond at yari- ous times. One of them is called "nl Temper. It takes the ground that bad temper is an evil which requires to bo abolished like drunkenness or dishonesty or lying or anything else that makes mankind miserable
 The question that arises is this, there fore, Has human being any right ever to indulge in fit of i'll temper? When he does so, he makes everybody around him wretched, himself included, and injures his own health. We once knew an old man who brought on epilepsy and died of it simply by years of indul- gence ill a fierce and cruel temper.
 The person who raises Cain, who tears and destroys, rages and knocks down and drags out is for the time a lunatio There is no sense or reason ill him. Insanity, even temporary, is not for the good of anybody Quite as dis astrous in its effects is the kind of bad temper that sulks, that is sour and grumpy and has not civil word for anybody. The sully temper fit lasts longer than the furious temper fit but one is as wicked as the other The two, the sulker and the violent lunatio, ought to Do shut up and fed on bread and water till the crazy fit is over ov- cry time there are symptoms of an at- tack
 A popular halluoination is that ono cannot control q bad temper. Nothing is farther from tho truth. One can keep from stealing or lying or murder. He can abstain from doing anything not for the good of society, giving way to ill temper included. It is q crime; nothing less. Society should take toward the ono who habitually indulges it the same atti- tude as to the thief or habitual drunkard that he is an enemy to community. When it becomes as much of a disgrace to give way to fit of temper as it is to get drunk, it will soon bo seen that an- ger can be controlled. The Outlook, commenting on Professor Drummond's sermon, says:
 Society has a right to say to every member. You have no right to indulge in ill temper; you not only owe it to yourself but to us. to govern your temper To treat ono's fel lows with habitual consideration and courtesy is not to exhibit what is sometimes called an easy going good nature It is, on the contrary, l to disclose one of the highest qualities of char acter; for the spirit and attitude which make | this treatment of one's fellows possible is not | only temperamental, 1t Is also spiritual. Many of the most agreeable men arc those who, if | they allowed their nature to have its own way, would be counted among tho most try Ing and difficult. There is no excuse, there. fore, for that unsociai spirit which is so con stantly palliated because people charge it to inheritance or natural quality instead of re. garding 1t as the evidence of neglect of primary education. {

combozs to the Front Agaln.

Spurs are jingling, long locks are waving, white soft hats and high heeled boots are making their appearance in the western towns again, and with whoop lal the cowboy vaults into his old haunts. The reason is the cattle business boo1us once more. It even gives promise of assuming it's old proportions, when many of the "eattle barons" made a fortune of S1,000, 900 in 9 few years. The rise and fall in price of a commodity is something not always easy to understand On the one hand, we were told five years ago that the cattle business of the west and south west was oyerdone, that there were too many beoyos raised and put on the market, so that the price went down below where the money received for 9 steer paid even for the cost of raising him. On the other hand, however, all the time that the meat producers were making this plaint the price of beef ill the older parts of the country declined at retail not one cent. Somebody must have been making money ill the meat business even then. However that was, though, the price of meat to the producer went down till it drove many of the great cattle barons into bankruptcy
 The boom years of the old time cattle range were from 1889 to 1888, when one man owned sometimes a herd of 30, 000 to 40, 900. The regions of great est prosperity were in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas Tho drop began in 1889. The lowest notch was reached in 1898 and 1894 Itwas rather odd mean time that during the years of tho great est depression in the cattle business tho farmers of Nebraska, Illinois and Mis- souri were burning their corn for fuel because its price was so low that it did not pay the freight charged for shipping it. In 1896, when the cattle trade began to revive, the farmers of the corn belt saw a great light, as it were. It suddenly occurred to them to buy beef cattle from the western ranges and fatten them for the eastern market with the surplus corn Now this indus try-fattening beeves for market, fin ishing off, as it is ealled-has assum- ed gigantic proportions. Farmers no longer burn their corn. They drive it off in the shape of live beef at a good round price per pound
 Those who get the most money for the cattle are. however, tho shippers. These are the men who buy the half fattened cattle in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, ship them by rail to the corn belt and sell them to the feeders. One cattle shipper, Mir. Gillett of Wood bine, Kan, is said to have cleared $50, 900 in this way last year. The cattle business of the new boom is on better and moro humane basis than the old one was. It Is also here to stay The demand for good beef is steadily in- ereasing at home and abroad.

One of the most successful and liberal merchants of New York once said: "Wise advertising is a contin- uous performance. 1t begins with the proper pricing of stocks; it goes on to attract public attention to the stocks, and when it has sold them it cannot rest-its work is never done. It has made friends, and it must hold them; and the way to do this is to appeal continually to their inter- est by appealing as often as possi- ble to their self interest. Few stores are so uninteresting that they can not make appeals of this character.

Mary of the North American Indians rveTe magnificent specimens of physical t,,anfood' This was due, largely, to their active outdoor life. Nevertheless, they had the wisdom to know that an active llIe in the open air alone, would not Eeep man healthy. They had the1r nea1elle1 Ht35 me men who gathered herbs from field ana foTast and brewed decoctions to assist the natural processes of the VaTlous FA'aA organs.
 Modern civilized men do not as usual thing recognize the same necessity until It is too late. They ignore medicine until thev are within the grasp of some serious or fatal disease. The time for a man to be- pin taking medicine is when he begins to feel out of sorts. If man IS thoroughly well and healthy he does not feel that way. If he does feel that way he may be pretty sure that he is half sick. When he is half sick it does not take long before he IS "whole-sick" Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ica1 Discovery is the best medicine for man when he is sick or getting sick. !t puts him all right all round. 1t puts ms stomach right to begin with, and that IS the most important point It puts his liver right, and that is the second most 3mports ant point. It purifes his blood and nils IL with the life-giving elements of the food he eats, and that is the third important point. It drives out all disease germs aud impurities of every description. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It is the greatest blood-maker and fesh-builder. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consump- tion, weak lungs, splitting of blood, obsu- nate coughs and kindred ailments. Thou- sands who were given up to die have testi- fed to their recovery under this marvellous medicine. An honest dealer will not urge a substitute for tue sake of little extra profit. He gives you what you ask for.
