March provided further that an
amount of treasury notes OF 1890
equal to the new coinage of sill
yer dollars should be retired and
cancelled as fast as they came
into the treasury. Therefore, sill
yer dollars and silver certificates
are now being issued in place Of
treasury notes and the only new
silver dollars we are getting are
produced from bullion which the
government purchased years ago.
The coinage of silver dollars al
the rate of s1,5Oo,0oo a month
must continue as long as the gov

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams; of Manchester,
Mich, tells how such a slave was
made free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for Eve ears that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work. This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures ner-
vousness, s'eeplessness, melan-
choly, headache, backache, faint
ing and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is Godsend to
weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only SO
cents. Sold by J. FL. Hill & Son,

TOWNE TO WITHDRAW.
Statement of Secretary Edger-
ton, of POpulist National
Committee Will Take
Stevenson.
Stevenson.

Lincoln, Neb. July 26.- That
Mr.. Towne, in obedience to the
wishes of Mr.. Bryan, will with
draw from the second place on
the Populist national ticket and
that the nomination will be left
vacant of Stevenson substituted,
was plainly indicated to-day by
James A. Edgerton secretary of
the Populist national committee,
who is here conferring with Mr..
Bryan.
Mr.. Edgerton, when inter
viewed by the Times correspond
ent on the Towne problem, was
very 'eulogistic in his references
to Stevenson.
In his enthusiasm for Steven
son Mr. Edgerton went so far as
to produce the records of the
Populist national convention at
Sioux Falls to show that the ma
tional committee was empowered
to choose Stevenson as candidate
for Vice President if Towne
should withdraw.
"The national committee, said
Mr.. Edgerton, "has however, no
authority to choose another Pop
ulist candidate. It must take
Stevenson or leave the second
place on the ticket vacant
It is believed, in the light Of
the revelations made by the Pop
ulist secretary, that Towne will
withdraw before the notification
of Bryan and Stevenson at In
dianapolis on August 8, that the
Populist committee will substi-
tute Stevenson and that the mott i
fcation of both parties can be
made on the same day without
embarrassment to Mr.. Bryan.
When asked to-day about the
Populist notification, Mr.. Bryan
said that he did not know whe1
it would take place, that the mat
ter was entirely in the hands o1
T. M. Patterson, of Denver, chair
man of the committee.

We're in 1896.

Washington, July 26.-Sena-
tor James K. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national COM
mittee, arrived tonight from Chi
cago. He will have conference
to morrow with chairman Rich
ardson, of the Congressional COM
mittee, and will leave tomorrow
for New York, where he will talk
over the campaign with the party
leaders.
eThe Democrats have better

Senator Jones, ethan they had in
1896, and we got enough votes
then to scare the Republicans. The
fight will not be in the middle o1
the West. It will be all over the
country New York, Dele

mittee at Chicago is already a

COMING SILVER DOLLARS

Strange to say, there is "a very
general impression that the coin
ing of silver dollars ceased in
August, 1898, when the Sher-
man silver purchase act was re-
pealed..
AS matter of fact, the coin
age of silver dollars has been
going on steadily ever since that
date. These dollars are coined
from the bullion purchased un-
der the Sherman law of 1890, ano
are now being produced at the
rate of $1,5o0o,00O per month.
The Sherman act contained 6
provision that the silver bullion
| purchased under it should b
coined as fast as the treasur.
notes with which it was pur
chased should be redeemed. Th,
coinage did not proceed fas
| enough to take up the bullion
a large amount of which wa
thus accumulated. In 1898 Con
gress added to the Spanish wa
loan bill proviso that this bul
| lion should be coined at rat,
| Of less that 81 100000 a month

came near losing his life, was
among the crowd. He ventured
out too far. While out in deep
water, which was not above his
head, he stepped in a hole and
fell. Miss Annie Lamb, who
was with him also drifted out into
deep water. The two were in a
fair way to drown when Mayor
Peterson came to the rescue. The
Mayor worked bravely, but with
two people on his hands who
could mot swim he had more
than he could manage, and he
with the two others would have
drowned, but for the assistance
of Mr.. W. T. Yelverton, who
swan up and took care of Miss
Lamb. Even then the Mayor
was in serious condition, Mr..
Winslow had gone under water
several times and was strang-
led and drowning.
In order to saYe himself the
Mayor had to brake himself loose
from Mr.. Winslow. At this stage
the situation was getting serious.
After freeing himself the Mayor
| says be looked back and saw Mr..
Winslow gradually sinking for the
last time. He made one more ef-
fort to save him, but be never
would have done SO if the crowd
bad not formed a "life line" by
joining hands. Mr.. Wlnslow was
taken out the water unconscious,
but he soon got better and is all
right to-day. Miss Lamb sank
several times, but she suffered
very little Inconvenience from her
narrow escape.
While these tragic scenes were
taking place the GoIdshoro base
ball team was getting up repuA
tation over Ia Beaufort. The ssjsls
ly tars'' proved an easy mark for
the s'land lubbers,' as the score
will show, being to 0 in favor of
Goldsboro. The Goldsboro team
were very much elated over their
splendid victory and the more SO
because it was won on a soft sand
diamond, something our boys
were not accustomed to and was a
circumstance in favor of the Beau
fort toam.

Chicago, July 25.-William J.

to attend the national encampe
ment of the Grand Army in this
city next August. General John
G. Black, chairman of the com
mittee on invitation, received for
NAL acceptance to-day, settling a
question over which there has
been considerable controversy.
Colonel Bryan in his letter to
General Black says:
"Wben l wrote you on June
% the convention had not been
held, and / did not think it wise
to make any promises until the
convention was over, and [ had a
chance to consult the committee
in regard to the date of notifca-
ton. I am now in a position to
accept the invitation, and take
pleasure in doing SO, although it
is still impossible for me to fix the
exact date, on account of the un-
certainty of my whereabouts just
before and just after the encamp-
ment. Ii it is necessary to know
the day at once I would suggest

nearer harmoniziog with a subse~
quent date which [ have in con-

A DELIGHTFUL TRIP


Ten Years Ago-The Narrew Escape
of Mr.. J,W. W1nslow-Goldsboro Vic
torlous in q Game of Ball With Beau
Daily Argus, July 26.
The excursion of Ho Howell
& Peterson to Morehead City re-
turned last night on time. Those
who have been travelling over
this road for the past ten or
twelve years cannot fail to no.
tice and appreciate the efforts of
the management to approximate
their schedules. The excursion
train left Morhhead yesterday at
half past 4 o'clock and reached
here at half last 8 O'Clock, max
ing in round numbers, a schedule
of 25 miles an hour including
stops at all stations and three
stops Tor taking on wood. This
is not slow time by any means,
and will compare favorably with
a great many roads throughout
the country, But speaking of
comparisons, let US see what the
difference was some ten Or
twelve years ago on this road.
Hollowell & Peterson have
been running excursions annu-
ally over the road for "a years,
and there are several people in
Goldsboro who have gone on
almost every trip. These people
remember that even 10 Or IL years
ago the excursion would leave
Morehead at the same time it
did yesterday and that it would
not reach Goldsboro until IL
O'clock at night, aud sometimes
as late at O'CLOCK, Jakrug Uv1r
double the time to make the trip
that it does now.
| We have to go back in memory
to those days to appreciate the
short time in which the long dis
tance is covered in these days of
progress. So much for the rail-
road.
The trip to Morehead on Tues
day morning was equally as
pleasant as the return trip last
night. The excursion reached
Morehead about IL o'clock. The
writer has done great deal of
local travelling aud has been on
quite number Of excursions,
but never saw a more orderly Or
better behaved crowd anywhere
or at any time. Except for the
: long train of cars and the large
crowd, there was nothing to dis.
tinguish the trip from we'll
regulated passenger train run
ming on regular schedule.
Wnen Morehead City was
reached a number of excur
sionists got off the train ane
stopped at the boarding houses
in the town, but the largest mum
Der went on to the famous AT
lantic Hotel, where there is on
continual round Of pleasure al
v the time, and where there ar
, several hundred guests from al
> over the South. The fact tina
. such a large number of people,
t majority of whom are regula
], patrons of summer resorts
should remain at the Atlanti
for the entire season, is weight
evidence Of their complete sal
lsfaction and is an eloquent test
monial of their approval of tn
management.
