We doubt thai there is a better furnished college prcs identin the South than George Tayioe Winston. George T. Winston is now in his forty sixth year. His early ducation was obtained at the Horner School, Afterwards he was at the University of North Carolina, and until its doors were closed in 1868. Fro; a Chapel Hill young Wins son went to the United States Na ai Academy wiieie he remained two years. While at the Naval A cade m y lie was the bast of scholars in a class of nearly one liund red cadets. He was especially skillful in free hand and mechanical draw nigat.d in such 'olher Industrial studies as this technical school inquires. From the Navl Academy he n ered Cornell Universi ty where he graduated and was at once placed in the chair of Mathemat ics. It - may. be of interest to note that he paid his way through Cornell by teaching boys who were not prepared for college. At Cornell he pursued courses in chemistry, botany, geology, biol ogy, Latin and mathematics. For many years he ran and .managed'. Ids father's farm and fisheries in Bertie county. In 1S75 he became connected with the University of North Carolina, where' he remained until he was elected president of the Univer sity of Texas in 1895. , Very soon aiter ; going to Texas he discovered that the climate was loo severe for the health of his family, and he has ever since been lighting against hope, that they would become acclimated. When it was known a few weeks ago ; that Dr. Winston would return to North Carolina, if elected president of the A. and M, College, the. educators of the Slate with practical unanimity. u-gect nis eiocuou. in auuitiou to this the business men, the man ufacturers and others were solie. itous for his return. He will make of this college a great technical school. He 'will uot in any wise euter into literary competition. Indeed, one of the strongest endorsements of Dr. Winston was the president of the University himself. He comes back to the home of his ancestors in the vigor of ma ture manhood, and he comes with the good wishes and welcome of a 1 of on r neon'o. Coininuu Sense. It is sometimes said ihat com mon sense is tho most uncommon of ail admirable qualities, aud yet we continue to denominate it by atitle that implies that it is so widely diffused that almost every one not an idiot possesses it The reason that common sense is so unusual is evident the mo- meut you "reflect that it large iy consists iu seeing thiugs at iney really ar Most of us look at the facts with which we deal il.KK'irh colon d spectacles.

Farm Jo mat. 3ioney What it is? . There is no subject upon which ! ti ere are so many crude notions! is that of money. Not one in a j , , i, P jx; nundred of orofessed tinaDciers, including bankers and college college rofessor, can give an iutelli ent detinilion of what money is ;r in what its value consists. Aristotle, 2.000 years igo, de clared that money was a creation of law. Persous of great ore- tensions of financial wisdom have contended that gold and silver are money and that value ad heres in the metal. Others claim that money is a commodity. Scores of opinions have beeo given as to the nature and offices of money, but Aristotle is still en- it led to the first place as a finan cier The difficulties which surround the subject of money may in part be accounted for by a misappre- lension of its nature and func- ions. It is unlike everything else under the sun. It cannot be compared with anything and its unctions are a legal endowment. An intelligent person who has studied the subject says, "Mon y is the only thing known to man that no person atany time or any place under any circumstances can render its owner any service or while in his possession. "This s not true of any other thing known to man. Money is not sought for its own sake, but as a means of acquiring other things that are the objects of destre. It is the stamp of the govern ment that gives value and not the substance upon which the stamp s affixed. Twejity-five and eight tenths grains of gold is a dollar, Pour hundred and twelve and a half grains of silver is a dollar. A piece of paper that is in and of itself valueless, if stamped by the Government, is one dollar and is good and sound money, and eith er gold, silver, or the Treasury note will buy one hundred cents' worth rf any thing there is for sale Tne actual value is not in the dollar, but the possessor is interested in knowing how much abor or corn or potatoes or dry goods he will have to give to gel possession of the dollar. As we have already said money is not wanted for its own sake, but for what will buy of other things The dollar is the standard of value and it is the business of the sovereign power in a nation to de termine what shall be eadowed Our Government has determined what shall constitute a dollar of 100 cents, and to discredit the silver dollar by charging that the awmaking plower has put its stamp of one dollar upon 45 cents worth of silver is a libel. When Congress gave authority to indi viduals and corporations to dis credit the mor ey of the constitu tution by refusing to receive it in payment of deots it justified trea- soa When a banker or Government official, be he president of the United States or of a national bank, daciares that the United States, by its constituted author ities, is swindling the people by permitting debtors to pay their obligations in unsound and dis honest monov, he is guii'y of a willful, deliberate and malicious falsehood. Tne United States has never coined a dollar which would not pay for 100 cents' worth of labor or property. Theadvo cates of ailverare determined that the mouey power shall not be permitted to exact from debt ors twice the amount due them Tnis is the crime which the gold monometallists have determined to perpetrate Cincinnati En qutrer. ,, Freezing Weather in July Wtuld cause great discomfort ant o ss but fortunately it is seldorr known.

C1HP KEETI5G OF EARLY DAYS.! j Aroused ( he Keenest Interest and j Led by 3Iinisters of Various Deuoniluatio'is. Clifford . Howard. ia the July ; Ladies' Home Journal, w rites i that the nrst camp meeting iu America was held on the banks of the Muddy rivdr, in Kentucky, n August, 1799, and was conduct ed by the McGee brothers. wo eloquent evangelists. "It asted for little more than a week" he states, 4,aod the novel y of it and the success which at tended it were so marked that here rose an immediate demand for a continuance of this form of worship. Accordingly, the meet ing was speedily followed by a arge number of camp meetings throughout the West. So great was the interestthey excited that n some instances a single meet ing was attended by two or three housand persoos, resulting in he complete -desertion of the neighboring towns and settle ments for the time being. This first camp-meeting marked the beginning of a revival of religion which assumed such proportions and wrought such widespread good that it has passed into histo ry as the "Great Revival." It was the reaction following the period of doubt and unbelief and swept through the country in a glorious wave of triumph. Tim earlier camp-meetings were not held under " the auspices of any particular denomination. People of all churches and all phases of belief attended them and took an interest in their management. Baptists, Presbyterian, Metho dist arid other ministers conduct ed the services. Denominational differences were cast aside. All churches were merged" into one in that tide of revivalism. But after the first excitement roused by the 'Great Revival' died away this particular form of worship became a Methodist institution. Other denominations gradually abandoned it and left it to the Methodist, who have maintained it to this day, an?d continue to find in it a source of good and a no less worthy means of salva tion than on the occasion of its establishment one hundred years ago." " Dismal Swamp Percliasetl. The Disimal Swamp has been purchased by the Camp Man ufacturing Company,of Franklin. Va. There are 43.000 acres of timber land contiguous to the Dismal Swamp Canal. The Norfolk Landmark says: The swamp track contains mil lions of feet of valuable timber and on the bottom of the famed Lake Drummoud, situated in the middle of the swamp, are many fine cedar trees, which have fal len into the .vater and, becoming imbedded in tae mud. have been preserved for years. It is stated that the lake may be drained in order to secure its timber. lh fact remains, however, that at interstate waterway, in shape of the Dismal Swamp Laual. traverses the swamp and i fed from Lake Drummotid, Whether the new owners have any right to drain the canal is a question for the courts of Virginia and North Carolina to deride. . Who Woultl't Howl All mothers seem to have but one way in washing a boy's face. so that one is inclined ;to think that it is a trait transmitted in the female line from counties generations. First, she gets a rag, and after wetting it applies a su perfluious amount of soap. t Hav ing caught tne boy, she generally pins, him firmly between het kuees and takesa wholesome grip around his neck with her left arm The -process is something like scrubbing a floor. The rag is pushed crosswise, up and dowi., ziirzair and in circles. She seeint to think that his face is a pian surface, and all protuberances are ignoied. When the soap has sufficiently oeen rubbed in. the rag is rinseo and his face dried, the motion b mg exactly the same as the clean ing. During the operation the ooy fights and howls, and when eieased runs away iu a rage. Do you blame him? P.arso' Weekly.
