Well, well, well! This goldbug
administration is fright. 1t
used to be about four years ago
q very popular thing for the
Cleveland administration to issue
q million dollars worth of bonds
occasionally to get money to run
the government. It is different
with the Mckinley administra-
tion, which has more money than
its needs. A Washington tele-
gram of Nov. IS says: 1.-The
treasury department announces
it readiness to purchase any part
or all of $25, 100000 in govern
ment bonds of the 4 per cent
fund loan of 1902, or the S per
cent loan of 1904 at the prices be-
low indicated: The 4 per cent
Of 1902 will be received and paid
for at 1925 net. The 5per cent
Of 1904 will be received and
paid for at Ill net. Bonds of
either class, or mixed offerings
Of botl, may be presented at the
subtreasuries in New York, Bos-
ton, Philade delphia, Baltimore, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, st. Louis, New
Orleans or San Francisco. The

till the close Of business on Nov.

The editor of the Sentinel
should curb his jealousy or it will
lead him to a premature grave.
A year and a half of newspaper
cares have already told very
heavily upon him as it is and if
he tries to shoulder the burdens
of the Courier editor he will die
young. In the absence of the
sheriff, deputies and court bailiff,
the court was left without an Of
ficer last Tuesday and the Judge
ordered some one to be sworn in.
No one was present to ask any.
one to act and the editor of the
Courier was called upon to act
without any solicitation or desire
on his part. The sheriff
was satisfied, the court was
satisfied and the Sentinel dis
satisfied probably because some
populist did not get the job. The
Sentinel. with all the county
printing, most all the county Of
fees and absolute control of the
board of county commissioners
and each one of it's stockholders
q leading political heeler, has no
kick coming and should devote a
little more time to figuring about
the welfare of it's constituents
and leave us to take care of our
own troubles.

1t is a difficult thing to attempt to write
anything new or startling in regard to a
play that has had the critical attention
Of the brightest analytical critics Of the
land, as has Darkest Russia, during the
several years it has been exploited all
over the country. 1t is a play that holds
an enviable place in the estimation of
those who find delight in the better kind
Of play 1t is not new or untried

abundance of comedy opportunity plenty
of mirth to tighten the more intense

having used Vim Mariani, found it sus-

with merely expressing thanks to Mon

pleased to graciously confer a most
beautiful Gold Medal upon the scientific
producer of the health-giving Vim
Mariani.

brought health and happiness to cottager

Health is certainly the desire of all

Passenger Trains Delayed By De.
rallied Freight Engine.

Early yesterday morning a freight en-

station on the Seaboard road six miles
this side of Monroe; and on account
Of it the Seaboard passenger train was
delayed nearly five hours. A special

lar train did not arrive here until 3:43

been no accident, at Ills a. m.
The accident was due, it is supposed,
to defective rail. Engineer Harden
was on the engine (No. 56D and he
thinks the spikes pulled out of the sills
and the rail turned over. The engine
turned almost across the track. No
other damage was done and no one was
hurt.

ments that are usual among man; and
therefore it provides for their gathering,
and for the sale of the accustomed liq-
uors in such quantities as are suitable
to the occasion and the means of the
people who generally resort thither.
'In the same opinion the Chief Justice
said. There are good persons who
think it would be conducive to the hap
piness of men to refrain from the use
of spirituous drinks and that no one
could dispute the shocking evils often
produced by the excessive use of them.
Therefore, says he, it is very fit,
that benevolent persons who entertain
that opinion, should by persuasion, eX-
ample, forming associations, and other
m0rak means, endeay or to induce men
to renounce it, The Chief Justice did
not suggest, however, dispensary as Il
means whereby temperance might be
promoted and the sale Of liquors sup
pressed.
The poor people of Greensboro whose
means are not abundant and who work
from sun-up till shutdown, have very
little opportunity of obtaining that mod
crate 'refrCshment' to which they have
long been accustomed, because their
working hours conflict with the business
hours of the dispensary, and they, ASA
class, are forced and compelled by law
to do without a moderate use of spirits

do not like this kind OF police regulation.
The truth is when the Congress of the
United States, or the Legislature of Il
State, want to do something in deroga-
ton of the rights of the people, they
very conveniently hide their questionable
legislation lnder the board and expan-
sive and ever expanding wings of the
