All accounts agree that Mexico never did a better thing for herself than when ehe adopted the gold standard three years ago. By abolish ing customs barriers between her States she had previously inaugurated aa era of comparative prosperity prosperity which silveritcs in this Country attributed to her eilver stand ard Judge Clark's phrase about her leaps and bounds" is remembered In North Carolina even unto this day. But Mexico soon became convinced that she was not leaping nearly so far nor uuuuuiug ov should. An antiquated and inefficient . currency system maae a neavy naimi- . t ii cap. She was progressing in spite of that system, not because of it. So, af ter long and grave consideration and despite her great silver-producing Interests, she decided to break with the traditions of nearly four centuries and adopt the gold standard. Entirely uninvited, the lion. William J. Bryan hied himself across the lUo Grande to plead against the deprivation of his one object lesson; but in vain. The Mexican authorities knew very well how to rate the Nebraskan as an economist. They wore not simple enough to take him seriously In a matter of practical statesmanship. The gold standard was duly put in operation, leaving Mr. Bryan to find new hobbies government ownership of railroads, Initiative and referendum and what not next as .bent he might. Meantime Mexico felt thu thrill of a new .Industrial life. Like a pawing horse, let go, she mado a sudden bound forward, and careered up the pike In a succession of great leaps such as would have made Judge Clark swoon for . wonder. Since, un- unuiiaiciy, iiu una uvi j'jui neyi-'u ttiiu brought back reports of this Increas ed speeding, we are thrown upon the mere statisticians. From The Now York Commercial we take this exhib it of recent Mexican progress: ' ''Mexico's Import mid ox pi rln linvo AhrtrmoiiMt v inrri-fiypil u.ith'n f.-u v-.ihh Where Imports were iYl,',i.i:" In Mv'xb-an ' currency in item aiul experts with i I 017,CDO, the roturns fur tlu- tiwul j.mi ! 1808 reveal Importations of io.i&i.i.ti ud ! exportation ti of i.D.V.?'.''-: Tin- lncr;isi'i OVr the previous year.

The same is trulj In regard to the metals. Exports in an advanced con dition are Increasing, while exports of ore are decreasing.

"the Charleston champ!ons"tmade one of the teams' jUaying- In Charlotte, last week. "It is taking a foul advantage of Mullin, Reislnger and Patrick Meany, who have gone out, in the goodness of their hearts, In tho hope of educating and illuminating darkest Charlotte In the elementary principles of baseball, to charge them with toe ing the entire Charleston team," bom bastically assert the Charleston base ball organ. 'They are great men and iiatrlots. They are endowed with splendid genius, but in the absence of Raymond, Paige and the rest they are not expected to achieve the Im possible? they are men, not -supermen." We need hardly say, that this performance la inspired primarily by the performer's .chagrin : upon learn ing that "the Charleston champions" were defeated In Charlotte by Raa sick's picked team of other South At lantic League players. But another motive, permanent and never far from the surface, comes Into" play. We read the vicious assertion that had the Charleston champion playel In Charlotte The Observer would have insisted that they were born In North Carolina, and the Daughtersrbfl the Revolution would even now b carrying around a subscription list to build a monument to them. Of course this charge rests upon a purely, hy pothetical basis and needs no reply at our hands. We only wish every body to consider how absorbing must bo that envy which deprive our un happy contemporary of all, sense of proportion and makes it couple base ball and presidential monuments in one coinmon tirade. ThVKews and Courier cannot look toward North Carolina and remain calm.. eo the greenish glitter In Its eyes! A HOMICIDE EVERY 29 HOITRS. South Carolina' record of 803 homicides for the year 1906,' an In crease of about eighty over 1905, Is naturally attracting an attention by no means confined to tho recorded State. All agree that here is a prob lem as yet unsolved. "Students of the liquor question," says The Richmond News Leader in commenting upon some aspects of the matter, "will be interested and confounded to know that the tftate has tried open bar rooms, confining the liquor traffic to tho cities and towns, the dispensary system and prohibition and the mur der record has continued to increase steadily. Yet, during twenty years newspapers and preachers and prom inent men in tho State have been working patiently and fearlessly to arouse public sentiment to tho point of making murder unfashionable and dangerous." This Is all truo enough. The leaven to which The News Lead er refers has not yet succeeded in leavening the lump. Similar condi tions aro found In varying degree throughout the South and over near ly the entiro country. Worst of all, this evil grows, year by year and de cado by decide. Ante-bellum South erners were sufficiently prone to make targets of each other no men ever guarded their personal honor , more jealously but they do not re- j motely compare with us for bloodl- I ness. In particular, the assassinations which are now the rule would ha.-e been abhorrent to them. Tho duel of tlii'lr day has passed forever, but present conditions make It passing seem far from an unmixed benefit. Public sentiment, which doomed the duel, will fimio day stop the whole sale murder of this later period. Such a prospect, howovcr, is remote. So long as white men can murder each other or negroes with less danger of punishment than many a petty of fence involves, blood will continue to How freely In the land. Tin: lusitaxi.ws ;keat THY.

The Young People's History of korth Carolina Is a Credit to trie Author and the Publishers. ; : An achievement of that sort, which Is worth, while has just Jieen realized In the publication by the Stone & Barringer Company, of this city, of Prof. Daniel H. Hill's "Young. Peo ple's History of North Carolina." The new book, formally adopted as a. text, book . fox use in ; the public schools of the State, and Which, is also being adopted by many private schools, is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining bits of what is or dinarily dry history, that has icome from the book-press in a decade or more. The new .book,' to begin with, i is written in a style that is so natural and so readily understoodrbv even a child, that its persual is .muoix like the reading of a dally newspaper in which the ordinarily dry facta of his torical narrative are tanen in by the reader with the same relish that he experiences In leoking over his morn lrrg'aTmper.'or his favorite magazine. rom the story of the discovery of the Western continent, to the clos ing chapter about the administrations of Governors Aycoek and Glenn, the book 'never grows tiresome nor does the reader feel anywise disposed to My it aside with a feeling that history is uninteresting and that there is plenty of other reading matter that would furnish more real pleasure and enjoyment. . The book .is. strong m this respect that it is written in a I style that makes tho child or man able to see with his own eyes the events and the times that are really past and gone, but which are brought back in this little volume so life-like that there Is a constant desire of the reader to follow out the story of old North Carolina with an interest like that taken in the success of the lover n his courtship, or the final fortunes, good or bad, of the hero In the best written novels of the language. fror. Hill in his new book has had access to some Heretofore unpublish ed cuts and pictures of scenes and of men who have played their parts in the past fortunes of the State. From the. picture gallery at the home of Mr. James Sprunt, in Wilmington, the author has gotten many copies of fine old paintings and pictures that have for the first time been given to the public in Prof. Hill's history of North Carolina. A almple knowledge of the illustrations alone Is sufficient to give one a clear mental picture of much that Is history in the past and present of the Commonwealth. If news Is Information about events not previously known, the new history win prove a very newsy book. The question of weighing events and giving them the proper valuation from tha standpoint of the States ptory as a whole, is one that few men have been able to successfully, answer In their books of history, but this little book which has! Just been given to the thousands of school chil dren In the state "of North Carolina, and to many other Interested readers at least put the facts in such a proper and fitting setting and details them In such a manner, that It b?omcs a' pleasure to the youngest reader to imagine how this or that event stirred the people of his native State, whenever they happened, though It were a hundred years ago. The little book not so little either with Its 00 pages -Is an addition to the store of Information about the past of the Old North State that that Is Its own reward for the task ot reading It and the story, with the ac companying pictures and cuts, Is such that about everybody who has seen the book, has . expressed., a . wish to know more about It, ana to read H at the first opportunity that come by.

A local man dropped down soon to watch the performance. The ma chinery was standing idle at the mo ment, while Pressman Rogers touched It here and here with skilful hands, like a trainer rubbing down a favorite, priming her for a race. Then sud denly, the oiling and adjusting ceased. The word was given and the electric current was shot Into play.' Without shock or Jar the belts and later the entire mechanism of the big Hoe press began swiftly to revolve. A nod to Assistant Pressman Kelly from his chief and the current was increased. Faster and faster the white paper was drawn from the ponderous roll at the rear of the press; faster was it rushed with undiminished pressure across the stereotyped plates and through an Intricate and baffling labyrinth of complex mechanism, till finally the papers, printed, cut, fold ed and ready for the reader were dashed, from the folder at the front of the machine. Then a smile, lit up the countenance of the husky pressman, who stood si lently watching his pet. "There's your 22,000," he shouted at the top of his voice, barely audible In the roar of the awakened "Maud."
