Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 4. Rev. V
J Roger and wife, of Mt, Holly,
are visiting at Capt. Cook's. They
will return to their Lome Fridav.
The school at the college has
resumed its duties. The boys
have fallen into their work as . if
they had not been interrupted by
the holidays. Wo have neard of
the students of both the college
and seminary making new. resolu
tions for tho
remainder of the
scholastic year. We wish them
much success in . carrying out
their resolutions. - H
The holidays have been merry
in many. ways. l! ,
We have witnessed operas and
plays rendered by skilled dramat
ists, but we have never seen any-;
thing that con
the "Seminary
d bo compared to
Serenade," as it is
modestly designated by the girls.
Several of tlje y.oiiDg ladies re-
mainea to t-pe;ui Amas quietly
aiiil uninterrulplcdi) within the
walls of old lont Amcena, but
Cupid had- played his pirt long
before this joyful occasion, and
when the glad news of freedom
peajsd forth i from old ?Jont
Araccna's boll the minds; of some
ot the youngsters weie filled with
the idea- of:' seeing some of thise
"little drops r of SAyretness," and
get some 4undstandences', about
the benign smiles that had been
cast at them while walking by the
seminary.,. ... .;. ; '
.The seminary Was given over to
the girls, and no matter who called
they would have their share of the
parlor. There are times when
much company is '-a pleasure, but
there are other timed when it is
embarrassing, and especially when
it is a case of love. Of course
the girls knew this, as all girls do,
so they plotted to give those lov
ers a jolly good time. At first
cake and water were served pro
fusely, then the girls began to
form themselves in circles around
ihe cooing pairs and listen at
tentively to every word that was
spoken, and comments upon the
same were not wanting, and when
smiles were passed between the
lovers, the girls would exclaim,
"there comes a manufactured
grin."' Stirring passages from
Hamlet were "yellocuted," and
then at a sign from "ma" all was
silent, so intensely Jfcoo, that a pin
could be heard to fall. Soon
afterwards a rest of n few minutes
was given and all was arranged
for a nice little chat, when hark !
the door cracked and a fore-runner
announced that there would
be a quiet for the rest of the
night, when ph, there burst forth
a grand oratorio oi bells,! horns,
tin-cans, pans, etc., which thrilled
the wondering listeners-not with
joy, though. The sound of the
ringing bells beat so ferociously
upon the tympanum of the ear
that one of the listeners was
almost compelled to say that he
would never love to hear a Bell
again. ; . v,. . -; .vv. :. .
We have heard comments upon
high collars, low collars turned
down collars, , and standing up
collars, but we never heard before
a young man's collar compared to
"a whitej-wsshed foi)ce around a
i
lunatic asylum." We assure you
that the ast cannot boast ot all
the geniuses, and that wit is not
yet dead J

Correspondence of The Observer.
Thero iajftnopiation known as
the , Amercan Economic Asociai
tion. At its annual meeting in
1897 a committee of five was ap
pointed , to report on currency
reform. This committee was Irofs.
Taylor, of?the University of Mjchis
gan; Taneig, of Harvard University;
Jenke, of Cornell University; Sher
wood, of ijJhns Hopkins University,
and Kindley, of the Illinois Uni
versity. 1. 1'
r These report now, after one year's
study, in Jcffect the same as: was
aigreed on fat the Baltimore Bank
ers Convention years ago. The
same as j all Comptrollers of j the
Currency have recommended! for
the la3t 25 yearf; the same as Mr,
Walker, chairman of the currency
committee in Congress ' proposed;
the rame as the Indianapolis com
mission proposed.
Details differ but the main recom
mendatiorji stays good, viz : J
1. Let-national banks issue notes
on their own assets. 1
r
This means that the property of
each section shall be vitalized, ff r,
bankable purposes, in that section.
Details make little difference.
There are several ways of securing
circulation all of which are; all
right. The standard of value is a
heparate question.
Now is the time to presss the
question of currency reform. We
have now plenty of gold and money
is easy. If ow is the time to take
action to prevent another panic.
