Hon. F. B. Doran, who has been sew

Mayor Doran decided to take Paine's
celery compound this spring, having heard
much of it's wonderful efficacy from ply
sicians, neighbors and intimate friends
He was not disappointed. His experience
with this great remedy was so crafty
ing that few days ego he sent the
proprietors a testimonial which adds con-
elusive proof to the statement of ply
sicians that, of all the spring remedies
that can be had, Paine's celery compound
stands far above all others in honest
and great results:
March q, 1901
Dear Sirs-I am convinced that every
one, sick or WELL needs to take spring
remedy, and for that purpose l believe
nothing can equal Paines celery COM
pound comend it especially to the ner-
vously afflicted.
Very truly yours,

TOO MUCH GOLD.

N. S. Shaler, professor of geology at
Harvard. is giving the gold bugs shin
ers and making the believers in the
quantitative theory of money happy.
Hear him:
THE new systems of mining, which
have recently been discovered will have
produced by the middle OF the present
century an almost intolerable supply
of gold. l cannot say definitely what
the increase will be, but l should think
that at the least the present supply VIII
be quadrupled. On the continent of
America alone I have estimated that
the amount of gold to be won from
gravel within the next hundred years
will be $3O,OO0,O0O.
When we were told that under free
coinage, all the nations of the wOrl
would dump their silver upon the
United States. our answer was: Let
EN- dump tive have ground enough
for dumping place for all the silver
they've got And now that Prof.
Shaler predicts that we shall have ali
him that for more than thirty years we
have suffered from an ''intolerable' de-
sire for more gold than we could get,
and we will risk and welcome IAN in
tolerable supply of gold" Let EN- dump
it down and if others will not furnish
good dumping place, they may begin
the dumping in the News and Obser-
ver's large back yard.
In 1894, when money was so scarce
that it commanded high premium,
and panic was upon u.s. Mr. Eccles in i
way that was child-like and bland told
us that the country was suffering from
"a plethora of currency" That is an
ailment most people would welcome,
whether the plethora came in gold sill
yer or paper.

NEARLY $50, 900 FOR EDUCATION

The women of North Carolina of late
years have been more generous in gifts
to education than the men, excepting
Mr. w. Duke, Mr. B N. Duke and
Gen. !. S. Carr.
The will of Mrs. Swepson, of Raleigh,
was probated yesterday, and it contains
requests of nearly fifty thousand dol
lars for education, the orphans and the
church. The friends oil education
everywhere will rejoice in the increase
of the endowment to Wake Forest
College and the Baptist University two
of the most useful institutions in the
State The gifts to education and be-
nevolence are as follows:
Baptist Female University ......$ $4,000
Wake Forest College. 1892
Swepsonville Baptist Church. ). 1905
brownsville Orphanage. ......... 500
Womans' Missionary Society,". 1000
Total 1892
Before her death Mrs. Swepson had
given $1,000 to the Baptist University
and perhaps as much to Wake Forest
College, making her gifts aggregate
about $4,000. 1t will do great good for
all time to come and connect her name
forever with the institutions to which
she has been most liberal.

State, and to ask them to teach a month
without receiving a cent for the service
is the most unreasonable proposition we
have heard for some time. For students
and others who expect to become teach
ers but have never had any actual ex-
perience, we think the proposition a good
one, as the experience they would get
would be of great value to them; but for
those who make teaching a profession
the proposition is very unreasonable"
