COINS 1000 YEARS OLD
Museum In Washington Contains Rare
Chinese Specimens and Others
Of Antiquity.

The National museum coin and
medal collection Of about 5000 pieces
includes several Chinese coins Of the
earliest type, dating back to about
2254 B, c. The rarest pieces Of this
ancient coinage are Of Spade" key
and circular form, termed "merchan-
disc or Cloth" money. Several OF
them are more than 1000 years old
While their face value probably was
not more than few cents, each one
Is worth a large sum today.
Another o6d form of early coin is
the Chinese knife" money, Of which
several specimens arc exhibited They
resemble nothing so much as a set
Of very old and thin razor blades
It seems that the knife was the first
article Of trade in China. The aborig
ines bought their necessities for SO
many knives, and It was only natural
for them to adopt this imagery In
their early trade coins Most Of these
coins are oS iron and copper, but
some are OF silver, gold, lead and
bamboo.
These Chinese coins form part OF
the George B, Glover collection, which
includes representative coins from
many OF the dynasties or China and a
set Of modern coins dated 1907 Coins
from the Ming, Tartar, TschIne, Hsia,
Yuen, the Rebellion Of Princes and
other periods are arranged in chron'
illogical order, ranging from about
1854 b, G. to recent issues, Some
queer antique amulets and medals are
also In this collection and several old
money and medal molds.
From Japan there are several rare
old coins Of gold, silver and copper,
and an issue Of 1870 The Glover
exhibit includes 2,025 coins and med,
ais.
The Henry Adams collection Of
coins comprises many interesting
pieces Of money and medals struck I'm
various European Kingdoms az well
as a number relating TO the South
American countries A remarkably
complete Polish series has been given
to the museum by the Polish National
Alliance Of the United states
While the medal collection Is rep
resentatiye Of nearly every country OF
the world, a large part Of It pertains
to the United States This part Ia
divided into the following divisIon'
Before the Revolution, revolutionary,
commemorative revolutionary eventa
but Issued subsequently, and 1924,
Mexican, Civil and Spanish.Amerlcan
war periods,
Many Of the medals commemorate
notable events IN the United States,
referring to history, exploration and
centennials, while others are bronze

The department Of state is the home

mentary closings are the order Of
letters of diplomacy going out to

This correspondence, that tends
somewhat to redundancy, or at least
to verbosity, in some cases cannot be
conducted by printed or engraved

at st. Petersburg, the document when
completed, reads thus

formed of the relative interest Of
the two countries and Of the sincere
desire Of this government to cultivate
to the fullest extent the friendship
which has 30 long existed between
them.
MY knowledge Of his high charac.

donce that he will constantly cndeay-
or to advance the interest and pros
perity OF both governments and so
render himself acceptable TO your
majesty.

to receive him fayor0bly and to give
full credence to what he shall say on
the part of the United States and to
the assurances which | have charged
him to convey to you Of the best

it won't be long before we can have
corn to eat. The silks are next the
next thing to come. The pollen feeds
the corn and causes it to mature. The
leaves of the corn are about as long as
your arm. They stay on the stalk and
dry, after it dries we call it fodder. 1t
is stripped and tied in bundles and fed
TO stock. The ears are about one half
foot long 1t is good to cook when
green. After it hardens it is used for
various purposes. We feed It to the
hogs. COWS and horses. People use it
also but we call it, hominy and corn

Preparations for Field Day.

Preparations for Field Day are &C.
lively going on these days. Commit
tees are being appointed who will be
placed directly 10 charge Of the various
features on that day.
It is very much desired that those
placed on the various committees
will respond cheerfully, and perform
the service asked them.
These various ones will be notified
| in a few days. The ones so notified
should drop card to County Superin-
tendent of Education, or to Miss Beulah
Edge, letting them know If they can
be counted on.
We hope to be able to publish the
names OF these various committees be-
fore April 18th.
From the program which has been
sent abroad throughout the county, it
will be seen that there are certain fea-
lures appertaining to the Field Day
that require the contestants to come to
Manning on Saturday April llth, to
take certain examinations. 1t is hoped
that as many as possible from all the
schools throughout the county will
send in all the contestants they are en-
titled to. Teachers are asked to send
in their entries for these features early
next week. The names Of the contest
ants for the exercises to be held on
Field Day April l7th, can and should
be sent in at least one week before
that date.
Patrons, pupils, and all friends to ed
ucation in general are hereby invited
to be here in full force on April 17th,
to help US make the day one OF genuine
pleasure and profit.
We shall also appreciate contribu-
tions from any and all who desire to
aid in the success of the occasion. We
want to reward the winners with
prizes, yet at the same time we are
not holding out expensive prizes as
reward We are anxious for the hon.
or feature to have as full force and
credit as possible.
Let all now get busy and let US have
a splendid occasion of day which has
proven to very popular throughout the
State.

A Treat With The Movies.

The Pastime Theatre in addition h
its regular program will present OF
next Friday evening in three reels ont
OF the most thrilling stories that ha
ever appeared on the American stage
in which that celebrated actress Gene
Gauntier is featured. The title OF the
story is Through the fires of Tempta-
tion.n This is heartrending story ct
country girl who is left homeless and
is adrift in New York without friends
or money, but finds haven OF rest af-
ter passing through the fires OF the
most fearful temptation. This story is
true to life, and gives to the listener q
graphic insight OF conditions existing
IN large cities, and which all girls
should be made aware OF.
On Monday afternoon at 4, o'clock
p. m. Mr.. Wildman, the manager,
will have his opening of his new thes-
tre-house warming as it were, and for
this occasion he will present "Robin
Hood" Those who have read this
book cannot help but be anxious to see
it illustrated and acted upon canvas; 1t
out Robinson Crusoe's adventures, and
the piratical tales OF the sea or the
stories OF bandit life does not equal the
adventures of Robin Hood.
The prices for Friday evening will
be 10 and Is cents, and for Monday
afternoon Is and Is cents.
MIR. Wildman has gone to q large ex-
oense to secure these splendid picture
plays, and the patrons OF his theatre
will appreciate them by filing his
house. We have seen many pictures on
canvas, but those presented in Man. |
ling by the enterprising manager OF |
he Pastime are far above the average. {
They are high-class, instructive and
lean.

Association Is the dominating princi

the present system there Is association

man with capitsl and power ready te
undertake in Ii States what South
Carolina feared TO undertake In one.
NO wonder property gravitates more
and more towards the posssssors OF
wealth, men who create nothing. but
with the power to control labor and its
products, are the veritable kings OF the
earth.
Right here Is the genesis OF the agi-
tation and discomfort OF productive Ia
Dor, the subtle, unseen and unconscious
working OF the masses for the en-
thronement in government Of the prin-
ciple OF association. They feel that on.
ly through its power crystallized int o
government can come more comforts,
wider intellectual culture and enlarg-
ed moral perceptions.
What chances have individual farm
ers, scattered over l3 States, in q con-
test With expert financial strategy,
backed by enormous capital and uu-
limited credit? Whist the people can
not do for themselves individually, it
Is within the province and the duty OF
the government to do for them. This
is not socialism, it Is patriotism.
1t looks to me as If the farmers must
make choice between agricultural
improvement and governmental patern-
alism. AS for me I choose the latter.
The whole scheme of our national
government revolyes around the pro-
lection Of certain classes and individ.
lals. Tariff money and transportation |
ire the foundations Of commercial life. |
A Democratic administration has re-
'ormed the tariff, and is rapidly regu-
ating the transportation problem. It
