COINS WHICH HAD THEIR DAY.

Gold Pieces HstIred From Circulation
for Cause.
Recent mention OF the disappear
ance Of the $3.50 gold piece from cir.
culation and the premium this coin
commands as a curio has set many TO
rummaging In old pocketbooks and
the bottoms OF cash boxes and draw
srs In search of odd or out-of-date
coins. Some have found $3.50
piece, but not many. The 50 piece.
once quite common, but always q
sort OF curiosity, is oftener found, and
many have specimens Of the little
gold coins representing twenty-five
cents and fifty cents, which were not
minted by the government and prob
ably have not so much gold in them
as they represent. They used TO pass
as coin, but were never In general
circulation, being 80 easily lost that
they soon became scarce. One OF the
handsomest coin relics seen is a $40
gold piece bearing the mint stamp Of
1893. 1t is larger than the present
$40 piece. The owner has 1t hung In
band and wears IL as a charm on
his watch oh Mn. The owner says he
refused an offer Of $3.50 for this relic.
The old octagonal $50 piece1 were
quite common In California In early
days. when gold dust vas largely
used as a circulating medium. They
were made Of pure gold, and while
they had not the elegant finish Of the
gold coins minted by the government
In these days, many still remember
them as the handsomest coin they
ever saw. Many people now would
consider them handsome on account
Of the $50 in them.-Portland Ore

EXPERIMENTS WITH a CORPSE.
Gruesome Scene Enacted at University
OF Glasgow.


John Evelyn, who lived IN the time
Of Charles H., records in his diary an
instance in which girl, hanged for
felony, was revived and lived to MARI!
and become the mother OF numerous
family. A strange scene was once en-
acted at Glasgow university. To that
anatomical theater was brought the
body OF q murderer who had beer
hanged for an hour, but hose nee
had not been broken. A galvanic bat
terry was applied to the body by DR.
IRE OF the university with startling
results. In the first experiment every
muscle Oh the body was Immediately
agltated with convulsive shudderinp
movements, the legs were thrown oul
with such violence as to overturn one
Of the assistants. Next full, labored
breathing was produced. A third eX
pertinent sent every muscle Of the face
into fearful acuon rage, horror, des
pair, anguish and CHASTITY smiles united
their hideous expression in the dead
mans face. The onlookerG for the
most part fed in terror from the the
alter; one swooned. The concluding
trial caused the corpse to point with
his fingers at each of lie remaining
spectators ii turn. Then tney dared
do no more. Or. IRE, in celebrating
upon the phenomena, believes that they
might have brought the man TO life
which he considered Undesirable in q
murderer and which perhaps would
have been contrary TO law.

The January number of the South Atlantic

on literary, historical and political subjects, pre-
pared by prominent Southerners. We have been
especially interested in DIR. Mims's scholarly Gre

A notable occasion was the opening and dedica-
ton of the magnificent new library at Trinity Col
lege last Monday night. A large crowd attended,
and the program was an excellent one. The ad-
dress of presentation by Judge Armistead Bur-
well, of Charlotte, and the address of acceptance
by President Kilgo, were well prepared and well
received, while DR.. Walter H. Pages speech on
the spirit of democracy in American life was
worthy of the great student of social and eco
nomic problems that he is. The library is said to
be the handsomest in the South, and was built at
a cost of $50, OOO-$1O,OOO more being now availa-
bic for the purchase of books. Trinity has a mag
nifcent equipment and an exceptionally able fac
ulty.

The Code Commission Bill referred to last week

Col. W. B. Rodman, of Washington-excellent
selections, we think. 1t is pleasing to see that no
members of the Legislature we're chosen, as at

Willingly said that the members of the 1901 Gen
eral Assembly created a lot of new offices and then
filed laborer's liens against them.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Let me alone to the end of the world, rather
than that my friend should overstep by a word or
a look his real sympathy. 1 am equally balked by
antagonism and by compliance. Let him not cease
an instant to be himself. The only JOY I have in
his being mine is that the "not mine" is mine. 1t
turns the stomach, it blots the daylight, where I
looked for a manly furtherance, or at least a
manly resistance, to find a mush of concession.
Better be a nettle in the side of your friend than
his echo.-From Emerson's essay on Friendship"

"AlthOugh [ am a banker, I am much interested
in everything pertaining to agriculture, knowing
that therein lies old North Carolina's greatest
wealth. I sincerely trust that the Legislature
will see fit to pass the first bill that was intro
duced this session, providing a $4,000 appropri-
alton for an Agricultural Building for the A. &
M. College. Prof. Burkett is doing good work,
and I would like to see him fully equipped"
So writes Mr.. Clarence Latham, of Washington
County, in a private letter now before us. The
prosperity of all classes depends largely upon the
prosperity of the farmer, and it is not surprising
that men of all professions desire that the agri-
cultural department. of the college shall not be
hampered in the great work that it is doing.
After preparing sufficient matter for last weeks
Progressive Farmer, the Editor went home to see
his sick father and did not return until after the
paper had gone to press. The Haywood Skinner
tragedy occurred in our absence, and Proprietor
Denmark, feeling very properly that some men
ton should be made of so notable an occurrence,
prepared the account which appeared on page 8.
This was simply a brief outline of the popular
story of the shooting, but it should be said that
Mr.. Haywood's lawyers have since given out a
quite different version of the affair, claiming that
the first reports we're unfair to their client. They
assert that Skinner struck Haywood before the
shooting occurred, and they will plead therefore
that Haywood shot in self-defense. The trial,
which will occur before the end of the month, will
be a battle royal, remarkably able counsel having
been employed to represent both sides.
Tobacco combinations are the order of the
day. The great trust is steadily adding to its
strength, many of the retail dealers feel that they
are fighting a last desperate battle, and the grow
es in many States are making convulsive efforts
toward organization for self-protection. Our
press dispatches report a combination of New
England farmers, in connection with which the
following telegram from Lexington, Ky, Friday,
9th ult., will be read with interest:
Tobacco growers from twenty-six counties in
Kentucky, two counties in Indiana and one in
Ohio met here yesterday to perfect the organiza-
ton of a company which has for it's purpose the
fixing of prices. The capital stock is to be S. ,OOO,-
900, divided into shares of $40 each, to be held by
5000 tobacco growers. The schedule of prices
submitted runs as high as 26 cents a pound. A
guarantee is to be given to every signer that an
advance of SO per cent will be paid over the trust
price"

The child labor bill has passed the Senate,
though in somewhat different form from that
given it by the committee. The section limiting
a weeks work for factory operatives to 66 hours
was amended so as to apply only to persons under
Is years of age, and an amendment prohibiting
night work by children under IA was unfortunate
ly defeated. AS it left the Senate therefore the

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-04-30
California Berry Crop is Late.

Reports sent to the Hood River Fruit
Growers Union from Florin, CAL, state
that the cool weather is holding back
the Strawberries in the Sacramento to
valley. This will cause the California
crop TO lap onto the season for Hood
River strawberries, says Mr.. Gessling,
aud may have tendency to lower the
price of the extremely early Hood River
berries, but will have little effect OH the
bulk of the crop. The estimate of the
crop in the FlOrin country is 200, 900
crates. As the California crate con-
tains but is cups, their crop will equal
about l25, 900 Oregon crates, but little
in excess of the Hood River crop. The
favorite strawberry IN the Sacramento
valley is the Dollar berry, and during
the last three years very good quality
of fruit has been put on the market. A
better system of packing has been in
troduced and the berries reach Eastern
markets in good shape.
Reports from Missouri and Arkansas
say the crop there will be early. The
crop in Texas fell short about one-third
of the estimate, owing to season OF
cold dry weather.
The Davidson Fruit company has re-
ceived word from North Dakota saying
big yield is expected in that country
In wheat. This means that the Dakota
markets will be able to take their full
share of Hood River strawberries.
