To Judge from the continuous display O

the Mckinley administration of Mr.. Nc
Kinley does not appear to have done any.

a Shifting Standard.

The financial writer If the New York
Sun says
People who puzzle themselves with the
question, Why do we export gold when
the balance of trade is SO largely in our
favor as it is p do not consider that gold is
as much a commodity as cotton and wheat
are, and that. like them, it goes where it
commands the best price,
This is all the more remarkable as it
was supposed that gold being made the
standard would not shift its value.

HIS BOOK WAS FUNNY.
An Interesting s'Ory About Mayor Bridges
Smith.

ON 'tAs
The Culloden Herald prints the fol-
lowing story about Mayor Smith, Of
Macon, who is to lecture here soon:
"Hon. Bridges Smith, of Macon will
deliver his famous lecture "Grand
Stand Players" at the college chapel
on March I'd, for the benefit of the
Price Free Library and the Culloden
Institute. This leoi ure is replete with
bumOr, sparkling wit aud interming-
Id with pathos. This is positively
the first appearance of this famous
lecturer in this city and should be
greeted with a packed Ehouse. To
give some idea bow exquisitely funny
he is, we will, for the first time, tell
the following on him: Several years
ago he wrote a book and made ar
fragments with New York printing
house to publish it. He sent the copy
and waited for his book to be printed.
After waiting several weeks and hear
ing nothing from il, he wrote to the
publishers d inquired as to the rea-
son bis work \ "a not been sent him
lie received a prompt reply and it
stated that several attempts had been
! madssto print, butthat it was SO fun
ny that the painters could not set it
up for laughing.s'
