OL. XXIV. WELDON, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1893. NO 21 lARD TIMES GONE AWAY. !ie Coming Vear will find tiin Coun try with uu Abundance of Everything to Eat. PLENTY OF GREENBACKS. Jfi Within a Few Days Money will Drug In ihe Market. be a A "Plain, Illuut" Tar Heel on Finance. Warrenton Kecord . If one had believed much that has Leo said aud written about the depressed imdition of agriculture, and the poor own trodden farmer, he might with safe- have calculated upon a universal reign starvation and death by this time, but that do we see? The country is abso lutely flooded with plenty. Throughout he country every man woman and child luxuriating in an abundance of fruits find melons of all kinds. Vegetables of 11 kind, fresh and tender, are ready for very table. The crop of wheat was the Jbest in years. The fields are green with hoc of the finest corn crops wc ever saw nod which is now safe from any calamity. The tobacco and cotton crops, while not the best we ever saw, are good and at reasonable prices will bring in a large amount of money. The large corn crop will cause the feeding and fattening of many more bogs than would bo the case if corn were scarce. The coming year will find the country with an abundance of everything to eat, and consequently the necessity for spending money will be much less than heretofore. It is true that money, now, is exceedingly scarce, but it is no worse with the farmer than with men in other callings, and the fact is the farmer can weather a financial storm much more safely than the merchant, manufacturer or banker. When there is a panic, the farmer is the last man who feds it. It has generally spent its fury before it reaches him. Before much harm is done the producer by the present panic, we believe it will be a thing of the past and the whole country be ashamed of itself for letting it exist. Our farmers have every reason for feeling hopeful of the future, and the fellow who goes aronnd mouthing about hard times ought to be squeichHl. HAD NO LUCK. "I hoped to get an office," wrote a Nebraska Democrat to the postoffice department, "but I have given up hoping, and I am now rjlowini corn. I never i i ' had any luck. In my younger days planted a tree in the hope that when I waxed old it would shelter and be comfort to me, the other day it fell on me and broke one of my limbs and several of Us own. One time I collared a burglar and took him to the police station, and the officer in charge locked me up and let the burglar go. On anther occrsion I tried to relieve the suffering of a horse that had a nail in his foot, and it kicked me through the side of a barn. Why ahould a man with my grotesque luck hope for anything but an untimely death I" . FASTEST TIME EVER MADE One of the Royal Blue Line trains of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on a rnt run between New York and Washington, covered a mile in 3!)i seconds as recorded by a mechanical indicator. At this rate the train traveled at the phenomenal speed of a triflu over a mile and a half a minute, or over ninety miles a hour which surpasses all previous records of fast time. If the speed were maintained the time between New York and Washington would be reduced with- , out 'stops to two hours .and a half and ' with stops to three hours. Five hours is now the fastest time between the two . cities, and it is made daily by the Royal ' Blue Line only. ' What Do You Take Medioine for?

Washington special to the New York World : ''It might be well for the money hoarders who desire to sell their money at a profit to get it on the market at once, for within a brief period it will be so so much of a drug thro' over supply that the premium upon it will entirely disap pear." Comptroller of the Currency Eckels made this significant statement today when asked by the World correspondent if the currency "famine," which developed such alarming conditions jn the great financial centres during the past week, was likely to be relieved very speedily. Discussing the causes of this new disturb ance in financial circles, he said: "The situation as it stands today might very appropriately be termed starvation in the midst of plenty, for such is the exact truth. The volume of currency in the country is greater than in any recent year, and yet none is to be had except as it is bought in the market as a commodity pure and simple. Remarkable as is this money buying and selling upon the streets of New York and elsewhere, under existing circumstances it is accomplishing results quite unlooked for when first entered upon. It is bringing out of hiding places the money drawn from the banks by the timid, and as a consequence the ensuing week will without doubt witness money sink to its normal value. When this point is reached there will be no demand for it as an article of uier cliandise, and the owner will undoubtedly return it to the bank from which he drew it." Comptroller Eckles says the Govern ment is turning out daily not less than $500,000 in small bank notes. The increase in bank circulation since July 1 in round numbers has been more than $10,000,000, half of which has been made during tbo past twelve days. Banks are still depositing bonds and the Bureau of Kngraviug and Printing is working double time to meet the demand. It not improbable that the increase in bank circulation this month alone will be up ward of $10,000,000. This money is in bills of small denominations, requiring much additional labor at the Bureau. AS EDITOR'S 3I1STAKE. The editor of a weekly journal lately lost two of his subscribers through acci dentally departing from the beaten track in his answers to correspondents. Two of his subscribers wrote to him to ask him his remedy for their respective troubles, No. 1, a happy father of twins wrote to inquire to get them safely over their teething tnd No. 2, wanted to know how to protect his orchard from the myriad TO THE POINT. THEY'LL SKIN YOU. iHOW IS THIS FOR HIGH ? A New One for World's Fair Visitors. A Little South Carolina Negro with a Cyclonic Memory. Wil. Messenger. Our gifted, witty friend of twenty five years, Mr. John R. Morris, of Goldsboro, has entered the arena as a financial writer. He is well up in many things in Govern mental matters and eould really teach some Senators much more than they at present know. As to the unfledged new members of the House, they might go to school to him until that last fateful born I sounds and then not knew half as much as our friend knows. We do not exag erate. He is rather indulging in his creed in ridicule than in gravity of argu ment. He writes for the Charlotte Observer. His entire article is pungent and pithy. The following will be read with inter est: "A man who pays cash for what he buys, and never gives a mortgage, can never hope to take rank as a financier. He is nothing but a wise man. His methods are so sensible, accurate and honest that he cannot possibly become a financial light, illuminating the world with knowledge. "An angel may descend in the quiet of the night to bless him and his house bold. God may reach a hand through the gloaming of this honest man's days and take him closer to Himself and His throne. But were this humble honest man to live on earth a thousand years he would never be chosen to lead a financial reform. Yet this man does for himself what no scheme nor so-called reform could ever do fur his national destiny. "If 1 visit a farm and note the absence of a hog pen and the presence of an empty corn crib, I am sure to find a rural statesman wrestling, from a nation stand point, with the currency problem." "Were I in quest of a pleasing example of the goldbug, or a singularly beautitul specimen of the silver theorist, with which to replenish the stock of a national gallery of cranks, I would search among the local statesmen, to be found in each community, who lounge down town and discuss the ratio of 16 to 1, while waiting for somebody to come along and 'set up the drinks,' and while their toiling wives take in sewing to support their respective families. "If the people would rise in their strength as suffragans and subjugate by political power and moral force the lazy scamps who arc everlastingly theorizing about the currency but never proffering an example of honest toil, either profes- sional or industrial, the South could better bear her burdens. "We are cursed with financial tramps who are devoid of financial integrity." HER TONGUE SLIPPED . "That's mine!" . "It's mine !" The two men spoke simultaneously and reached at about the same instant for a crumbled piece of green paper on the sidewalk. Barnwell 8. C Special to Times.
