Prior to Civil War the Coins Passed
Current.
Prof. w. E. Hidden, Of Newark,
\. j., spent last week in Rutherford
ton as the guest Of M. o. Dickerson,
clerk Of the superior court Of Ruther-
ford county. Prof. Hidden is an
eminent geologist and mining en-
gineer and his name will be recog-
nized as the origin Of the name OF
the beautiful stone called hiddenite,
a valuable emerald green gem found
I'm eastern North Carolina. 1t was so
named because Of its discovery by
Prof. Hidden about 1881, while ex-
ploring Alexander county. North
Carolina.
The interesting announcement Is
made concerning the visit OF the
eminent gentleman to North Caro-
lima that he Is here seeking data
concerning the late Christopher
Bechtler. who was a resident OF
Rutherford many years prior to the
Civil war and there coined the gold
mined in the mountain region there
about The Bechtler one dollar and
five dollar pieces were once exten-
sively circulated In North and South
Carolina and passed as their face
value everywhere.
The fact Is they contained a
greater ratio of gold than those of
the United States mintage. but under
the coinage laws Of the government
the Bechtler mint had to close shop.
Thousands of dollars meanwhile had
gone into circulation, but many of
the coins drifted to the United States

A Woman of Business.


Cynics who assert that women are
devoid Of business instinct would have
changed their minds II they could have
witnessed an incident that took place
on a Columbus avenue car last Mon
day.
A woman paid her fare with a five
dollar bill. The conductor could not
make change.
Just wait a minute" he said. 'Tll
see II any Of the passengers can change
It,"
He applied to the man with the
crutch, to the red headed man and to
| the prosperous looking individual In
the new fall hat; nobody's financial
equipment came up to the require
ments. Presently woman sitting near
the front of the car beckoned to the
conductor.
How big Is the bill?" she asked.
Five dollars" he replied.
Does It belong to that woman In
blue?" she went on.
Yes. ma'am," said the conductor.
Very WELL" said the woman. Il can
help you out"
The conductor handed over the five
dollar bill and the woman counted out
$4.95 into one pile and five pennies into
another. She gave him the pennies.
Here" she said, "is her fare. I'll
keep the change. She has owed me S5
for the last two years. I have tried
every way under the sun to get the
money, but she always said she had
none. Now that have got something
from her am going to hang onto It,"
The victorious collector looked de-
family at the woman In blue. The rest
of the passengers sat up in expecta-
tion of a fight. The woman in blue
blushed deeply, but she meekly waived
her right to the $4.95.
please stop the car" was all she
said.-New York Sun,

I'M GROWING OLD.

(Rev. H. D. LeQueux, in Statesville
Landmark.)
I'm growing old, the years seem short
err now
Than in the dear old long ago;
I've lost the buoyancy of hopeful
youth.
And bosom friends l loved to know.
I'm growing old, life's sun is sinking
fast
And | am parting day by day.
With many who have journeyed side
by side.
With me on life's rough, tortuous
way.
I'm growing old; the ends almost
in sight
The last milestone is just ahead,
And soon III reach the terminus of
The quiet city of the dead.
I'm growing old and day by day l
look
Backward across the vanished years,
And forward to the time when God
shall wine
From sorrows moistened eyes all
tears.
