Negro Language.
our paint.

Did you ever notice how graphic
is the language of the old-time
negro?
'Hjs words are in the wrong place
9 times outof 10, bnt he always makes
you understand exactly what he
means. He gets hold of the salient
characteristic of the thing he de-
scribes.
For instance, an old negro was
a witness in a case of a stolen saddle.
The Judge asked him if the saddle
exhibited was the one that was
stolen from the man he worked for.
The negro said it was. 'How do you
know the saddle?' was asked him.
After studying it for a minute, he
said, well, ledge, jis knows from
de complexion of de saddle.'
Another old negro was telling
about having talked to a man in the
town whose name he conld not re-
collect. The fellow was VIGOROUSLY
a great talker and a big talker and
vas rather interesting, too. The old
negro in describing him said He
certainly is swift of tongue, got a
fine elevation and makes some
mighty good pints.'

Spectacular VeSuViuS.

Ve5uvius is not only a wonderful
spectacle, but it has more history be.
hind it than any other Volcano in
the world. The ashes and cinders
and stones it is throwing out today
snow plainly how Pompeii and
Herculaneum We're overWhelm-
ed. In fact the site of both are in
some danger today. Vesuvius is
spectacular because it stands on a
bay near Naples, a city even larger
than New Orleans, and it is a great
smoke producer, and when that
smoke Is lit up by internal fires, ii
becomes a striking spectacle.
When it is remembered that vol
canoes stand as a rule close to the
sea, it is impossible to resist an &C.
ceptance of the theory that volcanic
explosions are due to the seepage OF
water in large Quantities through
assures to the thermal fires. Al ex-
plosion might interrupt the seepage,
and thus the volcanic power would
become Intermittent.
Vesuvius is not by any means the
greatest volcano in the world. 1t
stands far below Mauna Loa or Pelee
in energy, but az a spectacle it is
absolutely the finest in the known
world and it has been superior in
all historic times.

SmOOt as Prisoner. 's3s
Greensboro Industrial News.
Official Information Of a rather un-
expected nature was. received here
by Judge James E.. Boyd, sitting in
the federal court, yesterday, to the
effect that the authorities Of the gov
ernment, prison at Atlanta, Ga, had
peremptorily refused to accept as a
prisoner Mrs. Alice Smoot, who was
sentenced at the present term of the
court to serve M year and a day in
that institution for passing counter
felt money.
Mrs, Smoot, together with her hus-
band, Granville l.. Smoot, and nine
other prisoners convicted for viola
tions of the internal revenue laws,
was taken to Atlanta by Marshal
Milikan and Office Deputy Bailey
Thursday night. On their arrival
at the Gate City it was learned that
the federal prison at that place had
no accommodations for female pris-
oners, and that therefore some other
provision would have to be made for
Mrs. Shoots incarceration.
Judge Boyd upon learning of the
complication ordered thatthe woman
BE- taken to Nashville, Tenn, where
she will serve the time metz d outby
the cOur5.
This will mean that The wOucaH
c~ounterfeiter who stood 50 j0ya!ly bS
her husband during his imprison-
ment in the county jill here, and
during thetriai that followed, will be
Sc ,arated from him.
Judge Boyd said that Mrs. Smoot
was the first woman that he hadever
sentenced to the penitentiary, and
that consequently he was not aware
of the fact that the prison at Atlanta
| was without the necessary accommo-
dations for females, but that the wo-
man would be properly taken care
| of in Nashville.

the tortures of hades, about the year

to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which 1 did, to
no effect. l then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him l would go and see a ply
sician in Erie. The reply was that 7
could 60 anywhere, but a case of
eczema like mine could not be cured;
that l was too old (SO). l went to an
treated with him for six months, with
like results. I had read of the Gu
ticura Remedies often. I was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so / sent
for the C%uticura Soap, Ointment, and

Resolvent until I had taken SIX bottles,

THIRTY PER CENT MONEY

The squeeze in the call none,
rate in New York last week wal
severe. 1t was not, however, Who'll
ly unexpected. It has been in the
| air some time. On Monday of la,t
week the W all street rate for money
was 10 per cent; On Tuesday it rose
to II per cent; or Wednesday, to Is
per cent, and on Thursday it wen,
to 80 per cent. The loss in surplu:
reserve of the New York city banks
OF last week was $780, 600, and that
reserve shows today adefcit ofabout
two million dollars.
A"Since the early eighties" says
the New York Evening Post, 9Th e
only years in which call money has
gone above even 10 per cent, this
month, bave been 1913, 1899, and
1887. OF these years, the sequel in
1898 is familiar enough. Ii 1902,
tight money persisted throughout
the year, with a very severe wrench
in September and December, but al
50 with great stringency in May. In
1889, the June money market was
seriously upset, and exorbitant rates
from September on illuminated in
the 1856 per cent of December 1s. In
1887 the July settlements brought a
call money quotation of 40 per
cent"
But tn Sc instances prove nothing.
The truth is, the country is SO pros
porous and speculation so active,
there is not money en- ugh to O
around. Some are looking, NOT
without reason, to GOLD imports FIR
relief. The balance OF trade in our
favor is immense, and gold should
flow this way, it would SEEM, in
heavy volume. But no one say what
gold will do. No one can name the
rate of exchange which will bring
gold this way. The rate that oper-
ates to move gold in one year will
not move it perhaps in the following
year. a gold import point is as
shifting as a gold export point. Ire
of international settle |
ments renders eXactness in such a |
matter Impossible. Gold imports
are, however, probable, and that is
about ail that can SAFELY be predicted !
to relief to the money market from .
overseas. !
