If every dollar represents a debt
for services unremunerated, the
coins may be considered as checks
held for-future payment. If no one
Villi take the checks, they are
worthies, and the party holding
them is tie loser. If the checks are
redeemable only in a small part of
a country or of the world, their
value suffers a corresponding reduce
tiou. The best checks are those
whicli are redeemable or exchangea
ble in the greatest number of civil
ized and - enlightened - countries
They may be circulated wherever
they are redeemable andihose' hav
ing the widest circulation "are the
most valuable and desirable. If a
coin received in this conntry be
recognized as an evidence of debt
in Europe, it will be received there
jusi the same as in this country,
thtiahe party holding it, may
reCBivSihe value due him as coma
pensation for unpaid services, with
the same ease in Europe as he can in
. this country. His metallic check
although drawn in this country will
be honored in Europe,
Those materials which are recog
nized in the greatest number by
civilized and enlightened countries
make the beat checks. That ma
terial which is recognized the world
over makes still better checks.
Metallic checks haTe always been
considered tho (best, and of them
gold has been considered the most
desirable.
The weight and fineness of the
coin or check indicates the amount
or yalue of seryice to be paid for.
The metallic qualitv of the com
maKes the check good for an unlim
iteCtime, and renders it suitable for
changing without loss from the
check or coin current in one coun
try to that current in another
conntry.
If we take this view of money all
the seyen primary elements or qual
ities belonging to a sound money
material Kpplywith the same force
as they do when it is considered
from the standpoint of value. It
is really a distinction without a
difference: -Money is of no value to
anyone unless it can be used or paid
for something that will fill a want or
satisfy a desire. This is true no
matter from what standpoint its
functions be viewed. It is received
because it can be kept or spent at
the option of the receiyer. It can
be kept if the holder de.-nea to keep
it, but ctn be spent only on tne con.
dition that somebody is willing to
receive it.
But, if money is an evidetce of
debt, it is also an evidence of credit
'extended. Like action and reac
tion debits and en dits come and go
together. They begin together,
continue together, and .end together;
wheneyer a debtor is made, . a credi
itor is made. The making is simul
taneous and not successive. The
debtor ia not created before the
creditor, nor the creditor before the
debtor. '1 he two are created to
gether, and having been created
together, they live together, and end
together.
According to this view every man
that has a dollar is a creditor. The
dollar he holds ia the evidence that
he has extended a credit. He has
performed a seryice for which he
has not been paid. Tee eyidence
that he has not been paid id con
tained in tbe dollar that he holds.
Bat the creditor is not satisfied
with simply holding the dollar. It
is customary with creditors o re
quire some security, some guaranty
that the debt will be paid. In case
of a priyate claim the security is
usually the signature of some relia
ble person or a mortgage of some
kind. In case of : a private claim
the creditor's evidence is the prom
issory note, and the creditor looks to
the parties giving the note, the
principal and endorsers, lor payment.
The principle does not differ
materially when applied to money.
The evidence in each case is of the
same nature, but when' collection is
made, in case of the private claim,
iu teres t is charged, whilst in case of
money, interest is not charged, the
greenback, the silyer do'lar, the gold
dollar, each being taken up at its
face value and the creditor satisfied
without interest. But the creditor
examines and considers the security
in the one case as in the. other, aad
whilst some security may be thought
good: enough, "more and stronger
endorsers will make the evidence of
extended credit, the note, the dollar,
bHter. o
'Suppose now that
holds a greenback dollar, a form of
promissory note, as eyidence that he
VOL. VIII-NO. 29
has extended a credit. 'He exammeB
his note, the greenback dollar, and
finds that it is endorsed by Uncle
Sam. He considers Uncle Sam a
pretty safe debtor or endorser, but
after a little further consideration
he finds that he can receive pay only
of Uncle Sam himself, or must trade
it at some one of Uncle Sam's stores
or eet his pay from some one of the
old gentleman's laborers or cli idren
He must make tbe collection at
home.-
Suppose the creditor holds a sil
ver dollar. Aa before he examines
his credit to Bee whether it may be
classed as solvent or not. He con
eludes that the credit is solvent at
home at present, but how long it
will be solvent he cannot tell. He
sees that Mexico, China, Japan and
some south American States have
endorsed it without conditions.
whilst England, Frarce, Germany
and other European countries have
endorsed it with quite a yariety of
conditions. He howeyer concludes
that with all the conditions the se
curity is better than in case of the
greenback. In making collection he
is not limited to one store or family.
On inquiry he learns that there are
good reasons for the conditional en
dorsements he finds on the silver
dollar, his evidence of extended
credit. Uncle Sam heartily en
dorsed it until a few years ago
through his zeal for signing obliga
tions a wide-spread panic occurred
which brought ruin to many of his
people. England used to endorse
such obligations, but finally became
bit at the business and very prudent
ly quit. France for over sixty years
took great pleasure in signing such
notes, but had to quit it. Similarly
Germany, Belgium, Italy and other
European countries had to stop
their eagerness to endorse such
claims, so to the unconditional en
dorses, Mexico and China, the "masses
of the people are too poor to be
affected by panics, and too ignorant
to understand the pitiable condition
to which they have been reduced.
If the .debt was a large one the
creditor would no doubt demand the
best security for the payment of the
claim.
Suppose, however, the creditor has
a gold dollar. He finds that all na
tions, all civilized and enlightened
people, haye endorsed his claim. He
knows that such universal endorse
ment makes the credit solvent in the
highest degree. The endorsers haye
in all cases signed without condi
tions, no better note could be given.
He is absolutely certain that he will
be able to collect it without discount
in any country of the civilized world.
The claim is good, no doubt about
that, which makes the preference
tor gold.
Another way to look at this thing,
money, is sometimes userui. lane a
dollar, for example, and aBk your
self the question, what is it ? On ex
aminatioi, it is found to be an ac
knowledgement of title, granting
the holder the light to demand pay
for services unpaid for. This title
however, differs from the ordinary
title for land in one very important
particular. In case of tbe land title
the economic value exists in the
land and not in the titla- In case
of the coin, the value and title both
exist in the piece of metal, when a
person has received the title he
has received the yalue em
bedded in the title. He does no
need to take it to the Register, of
Deeds to have it recorded, as he does
his land title. When he carries
his land title he does not carry the
land. In case of the coin the title
and the value it represents are in
separable and are carried together
Whoever possesses the one poseeses
the other and no record need be
made of a transfer. If the land title
be destroyed, a new title may be ob
tained from the Register's office. It
is not so with the unregistered me
tallic title- If that be destroyed, no
power on earth can restore it. It is
lost forever, it should therefore be
indestructible.
No matter, it will be observed, in
what light the subject be viewed,
that money is the best the material
of which is the most universally de
served, To view it from any select
ed standpoint In preference to an
other is a matter of convenieEce
only. With this closing observation.
to this part of lhe subj ct, we will
proceed to other and possibly more
interesting phases. Saviony.

China Gbove, N. C, July 17
ThisJ evening M. Plnnk Ciine shot
himself through the heart and in
stant death followed.
He came in on the midday train
and after dinner, telling hh wife
aud others goodby, Cline went up
staira and did the suicide act. Mrs.
Cline reached the room just as he
was falling.
The screams of a woman and
children soon attracted a crowd and
it was only a few minutes until the
tragic death was known all over
China Grove.
Cline, for seyeral years, has had a
checkered life; constant trouble was
his lot. Something like a year ago
he was convicted of a nameless crime
and sentenced to the Rowan chain
gang. There by Bpecial arrange
ment he was given certain pri y ileges.
In a short time he escaped ana sev
eral times his alleged death has been
reported. But he returned to China
Giove Wednesdey ind coming face
to face with a revival of the old
troubles, he preferred death to the
life that confronted him and then
followed the deed already recorded.
Cline was at one time well to do,
having made ne little money in the
mercantile business at China Grove;
but the temptations that beset him
were too much for hi-n; in succumb
ing to them his effects gradually
passed from his hands.
He had large and splendid con
nections in this county, some of our
very best people, and in all this they
haye the very warmest sympathy of
many frineds.
It is a sad, yery sad, ending of a
life that might have been a splendid
success.
Mr. Ciine was between 40 and 50
years or. age and he leaves a wife
and a large family of children .

Mr. Cline came home yesterday
morning on the 8 o'clock trairl as
his family thought, to go back on

place. He got off the train on the
opposite side of train from depot

where his eon, John, liyes, conse

whether he would go back where he

and never did say whathe would d6.
After dinner he told his Utile
daughter, who is about five years of

Ifidward F Green, - principal Of
Sunderland school, who has" con
sidered it his duty to array himself
against the best element of this sec
tion and seems determined to create
a terrible state of affairs in this com
munity, appears at Patterson's mills,
on Coddle oreek, last Thursday
night and treats with indignity two
ministers and many good people as
sembled there.
What follows in not all of his con
duct, but is part of what he did and
said :
We have affidavits from a dozen
of the best people' of the county,
swearing that every word of it, in
substance, is correct. Some of
these, who make affidavit, were those
who were once admirers of Green.
Eev. WHL McLaurin had been
asked for an appointment on Sun
day last. He consented to preach
on July 18th, Thursday night, at
ratterson:s mills, where a room had
been fitted up for Sunday school and
religious worship, in which all de
nominations, it was understood, were
to take part. Rey. McLaurin, not be
ing well, invited Hev. M A Smith, of
Forest Hill M. E. church, to ac
company him and preach for him.
After arriving on the ground they
went to the house of Mr. Henry
Lefler, where they met Mr. Edward
F Green, who gave no indications of
hostility to or displeasure of the ser
vices.
Mrs. Green verv kindly and
courteously played the organ. Mr.
Green having approved of tne sers
mon by nods of the head during its
delivery, lead those present to be
lieve him pleased.
A very ugly and disgraceful affair
was. however, caused bv Green, be
fore the service was over. Mr.
Green was asked to pray. In the
course of his prayer, haying given
thanks to the Lord for the place and
opportunity of meeting together
that night, made use of the follow.
ing expressions:
"CJLord, thou knowest that these
men cometh here to create disturb
ance and division ; let them be diss
appointed and ashamed that they
may not retnrn here ; and may go to
their homes like whipped dogs with
their tails between their legs ; O,
Lord, give them grace to go back and
preach the same things, with ear
nestness, to those men who are
working the poor, pale-faced chil
dren in the' factories and keeping
them in ignorance and grinding
them down dayjand night. O, Lord
thou knowest that we have one good
school, bnt the Methodist denomi
nation is seeking to break our in- j
stitution down, and to keep these
people in ignorance, and that these
men haye been actuated by the devil
to come here without invitation or
authority and use oar song books
and place of worship and to preach
denominationali8m." y
This was the substance of the
prayer so far as our informant could
recall.
After he had concluded his
prayer, Bey. Smith explained that he
was there only by invitation of his
friend, Eev. McLaurin, that he Lad
simplj tried to preach a plain gos
pel sermon, with no other object
than to do the people good, and
disclaimed any intention whateyer
to preach a denominational sermon ;
that he had selected the text, Mat
thew 0, 24 in order to get as far
from it aa possible and to present
simply the service of God and Ma n
mon and the claims that each . of
hese maatera have npon our service.
which he claimed to have preached
under the inspiration of the. divine
spirit. He stated that he was very
sorry that Mr. Green had: under
stood him to preach a denomina-
Hnnal nrrmnn and had taken offer, se
and hoped that no one elae present
' ''j '''''
; ' IMM El
had bo understood the. sermon. . He
fcfiked all who had so understood it,
eyery man "and,- woman, . to, 'rise
their feet tnat he might . see. N

Iil reference to.the,, abatement
made by Green that tbey,..w, ere. there
without invitation,McSmith asked
Green in the presence ef- the1 congre
gation if he had not met -biiB.iure'
cently, told him about the Sunday
School at the mill, and asked him if
he would not come out and preach
for them sometime and that he (Mr,
Smith) had told him he would.
Green acknowledged the invitation
Out said that he was not ready for
him that night.
Bey. McLaurin stated that he had
gone there by injitation of some of
the citizens of that (Patterson's)
town , with the understanding that
all denominations were at liberty to
preach tnere. He stated that he
asked Hey. Smith to accompany and
preach for him, and in reference to
the 8tatement"ofMr. Green that the
Methodists were trying to destroy
their schools, he would say that it
was utterly false bo far as he was
concerned or involved and that he
had preached a broad-guaged religion
to his people, showing them that
they must love all people without
regard to denominational linep.
that he had sought to keep down all
friction or antagonism between his
people and Mr. Green and that the
charge aboye referred to eame with
ill-grace from Mr. Green, after such
consideration at his hands. He said
to Green that he defied him or any
one else to repeat a single word or
sentence that he had uttered to cause
antagonism or disagreement amorjg
onr people.
Mr. Green then said that if he
had unjustly offended the gentlemen
either in his prayer or remarks that
he would be willing to get down
upon his knees and ask them their
pardon, if necessary, and stand
ing near Mr. Smith he asked him
(Smith) to give him (Green) his
band. Mr. Smith said: "It is owing
to what you want me to give you my
hand on ; if you want me to give ay
hand ou that prayer, I can't and
wont do it."
Mr. Green replied' : "I want you
to give me your hand as a man try
ing to live a Christian."
Both Revs. Smith and McLaurin
gladly gave him their hands upon
that proposition with the distinct
understanding that they could not
endorse hia prayer.
Several who were present, offered
to testify to Green's shameful con
duct at the meeting. They heard
thia article read and offered to make
oath that it was absolutely correct.
Going home from the meeting, a
large party discussed the matter and
agreed that the Times and The
Standard, in their articles, were
vindicated by Green's own acts and
words. To use their words : "He
was exactly sized up."

Change of Firm Bennette A Jlorris.
About one year ago Capt. D N
Bennette, of Norwood, bought a
fourth interest in the stock of hard
ware of Smithdeal & Morris, or
rather one half of Mr, Smithdeal's
half interest.
Another trade was effected
W'eunesday night. Capt. Bennette
bought the remaining fourth of Mr.
Smithdeal's stock. The firm name
now is Bennette & Morris. This
trade has been on several weeks,
but The Standard was requested
to be mum.
This makes a strong firm both
moneyed and popular men, who
will command a big trade not only
from Cabarrus but Stanly counties.
Capt Bennette will probably move
to Concord at an early day. A strong
influence is being brought to bear on
him. He vill receive a hearty wel
come should ne decide to moye
among us.
In thia change there will be a gen
eral change of the force now in
charge. Messrs C F Ritchie and
John S Smithdeal will probably not
be with the new firm. These young
men are popular with our people
and The Standard hopes, that in
the event they do not remain with
the new firm, they will still keep
their vine and fig tree planted in
Concord. Mr. Ritchie has proven
himself a man of superior business
ability, while Johnnie Smithdeal
carries at his belt tho heartful
strings of ua all. .

it. Some,oJjab:J?laST
ing wae done oui:
yiflitme team was down iu ihe month
from the start, as Harold ShemweU, "
Chapel Hill's crack pitcher was wild
and his assistant, Walter Woodson, '"
behind the bat, was entirely too
light. None of the fielding "Pngs"
had a gooa nose for the ball except
Master J Brown, the baby short'
stop. He made 8ome excellent plays
and deseryea special mention. Master
H Rufty, who held down first, goC
one three bagger on little Joe Fisher,
who did some star playing and won a
reputation for his team.
Caldwell played short stop for onr
boys. It is useless to comment on
his playing except he deserved a
good pounoing for blundering once
into Montgomery's territory, causing
an error and letting the "Pugs"
chase in a few.
Joe Fieher and Frank Brumley did
the battery work nicely, while Rich
Beed assisted them no little by his
gooa judgement and scientific play
ing on first. The "Stara" knocked
the -Pugs" all to pieces from the
beginning. Beard did some good
fielding for the home team, making
several good running catches.
E Woodson, who played tbird,
made one beautiful running catch
and accordingly got tbe full benefit
of the grand stand. Beard and
Caldwell, "Stars," took a sneak on
the "Pugs" for one base each. The
stealing waa cleverly done.
uur nttie kids puTCald well and
Montgomery on the team because
Salisbury brought with them a man,
bearing the reputation of never be
ing struck out and one that had
gained great notoriety in base ball
circles,
A special feature of the game was
Caldwell's home run it waa a
dandy hit, bringing in three men.
But the Salisbury boys were gentle-v
and manly little fellows, and of
course showed great nerve in under
taking to beat our "Stars." It was
a pleasant game to witness, and it is
said by every man that umpire W W
Morris was fair in every decision.
The "Pup" did no growling and of
course the "Stars" could not fall.
The score :
Siliabury 1 0 5 0 0 0 4 0 IP.
