SUSPENDED PAYMENT IN Cash
How British Government Saved the
Situation When country's Financial
Solvency Was Threatened.

In the great war which England com
menced with France in 1893, the first
four years saw 400, 900, GOO added to the
national debt, without any material
advantage being gained. So much coin
had left the country for the payment
Of troops abroad and as subsidies to
allies that the bank, during 1886, be-
gan to feel a difficulty in satisfying
demands made on it, At the close of
the year people began to hoard coin
and to make runs upon the county
banks. These applied to the Bank Of
England for help, and the consequence
was that a run upon 1t commenced In
the latter part of February. 1877 This

itself afoat by paying In sixpences.
Immediate insolvency was expected,
when on February 20, the government
stepped 1n with an order In council
authorizing the notes of the bank as
legal tender until such time as proper
remedies coGd be applied This sus-
pension Of cash payments was attend
ed by the usual effect OF raising the
normal prices of all articles.

Lamps for Brides.

In early times the courtship and
marriage customs among the Green
landers were simple and unceremoni-
Gus enough, since we are told that
when a lovelorn youth made up his
mind as to the girl he wanted to adorn
and be useful in his hut of ice and
snow, he went to her house, seized
her by the hair or wherever he could
secure a good grip on her, and dragged
her to his own domain, where she was
expected to remain, without any fur
ther marriage ceremony. If an affluent
bridegroom he would perhaps soothe
her Iacerated feeling by presenting
her with a new lamp or some other
article of household utility

BUILDING
ASSOCIATIONS
Have Not Increased Interest
Rates-RumOr is False

In the last weeks issue of the Press
it was stated that two of the Hamilton
building associations had increased
interest rates on loans to seven per
cent, and that they might go to eight
per cent. 1t has since been learned
that this is not true. The Press has
sonsulted with various officials and
these officials are emphatic in their
statements that they have not in
creased the interest rates nor have
they even contemplated such step
They state that they are taking care
Of all requests for loans SO far as in
their power to do so, and at the same
old rate of six per cent.
The gentleman who gave the inform
alton to the Press regarding the in
crease is perfectly honest and depend
able, but he was falsely Informed by
another party Either this man is
badly mistaken or he was refused a
loan and is sore.
The Press was in error, and gladly
takes this opportunity to make correc-
tion Of its article Of last week.

be equally profitable to place such

Old weInhts and Measures.

"Sdl-yards" beams and all manner
OF weights and measures, as might be
expected from their Importance in the
life and interchange of the populace,
are frequently mentioned in old chron-
icles, and one quaint allusion reads.
this lying weight was by the Bal
ance, the weight lying in one scale,
and not hanging or sliding on the
Beam Of a stil-yard, as IN auncel
weight" But the "stil-yard" was also
not beyond reproach, for Arnold, in
1900, tells how this wayght is forbid
den in England by statute Of Parlia-
ment and also holy Church hath cursed
In England all that beyen or sellen
by that auncel wayght." However,
in spite of church and law, the "aunc-
eel wayght" continued in use till 1852,
ten years after that one we have been
considering began its long career,
when the jury appointed by Elizabeth
set up a new standard of weights and
measures, which remained in force
down to the present time.

LONG DRAWN OUT EL0QUENCE
Speeches That Occupy Day May Be
Brilliant, but Are Apt to Be
Somewhat Tiresome.

There was commercial case OF

one at least of counsel would take
eight days for his speech. With all
respect for d learned professor, but In
amcabe candor. 1t is hard not to com.
mIserate any Judge that may have to
listen to speech Of this length. It
may be made by the cleyerest and
most eloquent Of men, but the fact Is
that BY the eighth day the facts and
the tropes OF the first are pretty well
faded The value of these long
speeches By counsel consists largely
Id the notes that the Judge has taken,
provided he followed the argument
which Is by no means always the case.

WAUCHULA MAN KILLED
Struck BY Auto and Died of Injuries
Shortly After

D. ". Carver was struck by an
automobile last Thursday night
about eigh; o'clock on Dixie Highway
near Wauchula and died about mid
night, says the Wauchula Advocate
The car was driven by Tom Brown
and his brttlor Dan and Sam Hines
were with rim.
Mr. ard Mrs. Carver were out for
9 walk and were crossing the Dixie
Highway when the accident occurred.
1t seems that when they reached the
Highway ord were about to cross It
the car driven by Brown appeared at
a high speed and the driver blew his
horn. Mrs. Carver sucee icd in cross
ing the road, but Mr.. Carver had
stopped at the side of the read to re-
move a sand sour which had punctuT-
ed his shoe.
The supposition is that the driver
Sow the woman but not the man, and
in veering away from the woman
struck the man as he was bending
over removing the sand srur,
After striking Mr.. Carver the auto
ran on for scrne distance and return
ed. The boys helped the injured
man into the Thomas home and then
went for a physician. Four physi-
clans worked with the injured man,
but their skill could not save his life
and he passed away about midnight
His breast was crushed over his
heart, several ribs, one arm and one
leg were broken.
Sheriff Dishong was notified and
came up from Arcadia and placed the
young men under Arrest, releasing
them under a thousand dollar bond
each.

DR.. Ralph Greene, state health Of
ficer, is being severely reprimanded
by some papers for statements as to
the moral condition of the state. HIS
statements are astounding but they
cannot be dismissed by saying the
Land of Flowers was never before
besmirched SO foully," or by trying
to escape responsibility through
blaming negroes. Either DR.. Greene
has slardered the state and should
be requested to retire from his office,
or he has told the truth and we
should face it and help the state
board OF health to remedy the con-
dition. Social disorders thrive in
the dark; if we would get rid of
them we must turn on the light, no
matter how much the sight revealed
may hurt our pride. This we be-
lieve DR.. Greene is honestly endeavor-
ing TO do. If he is simply a sensa-
tionalist and 4 slandcrer cf our state,

of County Commissioners was held
Monday, April fifth but little bust
ness of interest was transacted.

that during the month of March ii,
600 cattle had been dipped and that
three new vats were constructed,
making a total of 81 vats in this
county.
John Hagan, superintendent of the
County Farm, reported cash on hand

potatoes and syrup sold, $71; paid
for labor and seed $70.45; balance
on hand, s4.36.
Bids for the purchase of $65, 5,000.-

district were opened. a. c. Crews,

of Toledo, Ohio, bid 95c on the dol
lar, fiat to May first. The bid of
Lewis was declared to be the best
and the clerk was instructed to de-
liver the bonds to him.
The board had specified that Frank
Maloney, the contractor in charge Of
the Charlotte Harbor bridge, should
furnish bond in the sum OF $4,000
700, but as the work is being done
under the direct supervision of the
board, it decided that bond of $1O,-

bond would be sufficient and would
be acceptable to the board.
