AN OLD FICTION REvAMPED.

Referring TO the illness of a promi-
nent State official, an exchange says:
Malaria got quite grip on him last
year, when he campaigned in the east
always dangerous thing for a western
man to do
We had hoped that the above fable
about it being dangerous for western
man to campaign in the east had been al
lowed to lie in it's dishonored grave. 1t
was always fiction just as much as the
fiction that ii an eastern man goes to the
mountains, the higher altitude is liable
TO make him i'll. 1t is strange how these
old fallacies lag superhuous on the stage.
The truth is that nothing can do a
western man SO much good as month S
campaigning in the east, and the further
east he goes the better it will be for his
health. If a Buncombe or Haywood man
could campaign every year in Hyde, Dare,
Carteret, Pamlco or Onslow-it would do
him a world of good just as it would do
the eastern man good to campaign among
the good people of Graham, Cherokee,
Swain. Macon and Pennsylvania. The dis
ting,ished and popular gentleman who is
i'll (may he soon be well is the prayer

since 1897? There is no one reason, but
those who in 1896 and 1897 argued that
there would be no better conditions and
no change in the then prevailing low
prices without an increase of the money
in circulation believe the early increase
in prices is due to the large amount of
gold that was put into circulation from
Alaska and South Africa and from the
extraordinary expenses incurred in
getting ready for the Spanish American
war. Beyond that legitimate rise,
which was desirable and helpful, the
trusts have evidently inflated prices of
those commodities they controlled and
in so far as high prices are due to such
imitation. the rise is injurious.

THE COST OF LIVING.

The average man does not wait to
read Dun's report to ascertain it costs
time. His bills for groceries. clothes
and everything he needs tell him of the
upward tendency of prices Dun's Re-
view, recently published as of NOvem-
Der 1st. shows that of $50 commodi-
ties the lowest price reached since the
war was July 1st, 1897. The following

sale OF the North Carolina railroad to

Legislature of North Carolina selemnly
declared should be paid at only one
