WHY THE COMING WOMAN T Con-espondence of The Times. Mr. Editor Ever since the "com iDg woman" was anaounced she has b5en universally condemned. Those to whom she naturally looked to for pro tection have branded her as an a'dven toress; a pitiable, specimen of humanity possessing more sentiment than brain: a woman who had lost the attractive charms and gentle manners to which chivalrous. knights of old did homage, making her the 6hrine of his adorations. Vile epithets, are flung at her as she spina around on her bicyclea gift Of her own industry'and economy or aa sue busies herself in the thousand haunts of, men places once occupied by them, but know them no more. When she steps across the' threshold of any calling that particular calling feels her presence, the magic of her touch, and in spites of all that has been said she has remained. When the hour for business opens she is always at her post of duty. No head ache from a night' 8 debauch, no fumes or odor ot tobacco, but with a bright smile and willing hands she hai in many ways demonstrated her , superi ority to man. -. ' i Gladly would she have remained in her legitimate sphere and continued what poetry, sentiment and custom has painted, "goddess of the household." but she lives in a new era and must do or die. For long, long" years she has waited for a change and xluring the waiting her quick perception "has dis covered that she is treated with less con sideration and courtesy to-day than formerly, not only in the thoroughfares and . busy haunts of industry; but at home. She has seen her fondest hopes decay.and her ambition is ground finer and finer. While she practices the strictest economy she has observed that the sterner sex , dnnk whiskey and go bountifully supplied with tobacco aa her individual poverty becomes more appa rent each day. B And oh! the blighted hopes as she glances into the almost empty larder, , or surveys the general dilapidation of the home or farm, as these lords of creation are sitting around chewing and spitting at the rate of 16 to 1. Should company drop in she is afraid that she will be charged with a bad dinner or be accused of looking1 slovenly, so every resource at her com mand is developed. The nice fresh eggs are carefully laid away, and at the proper time are placed under the old hen, hoping that the increase disposed of at the store will save her reputation as a housekeeper and provide the many little things which are so necessary for the home and which costs so little. The indolent are easily .fatigued and re tire early. Soon , after chanticleer has ceased his warbling these lords repair to the airy rooms and comfortable beds which she has provided; then with char acteristic modesty she brings out the dress she i3 making for the colored woman. Time passes. Her efforts are not I only not appreciated, but her burden1 gets- heavier and heavier, so at last Bhe has burst the cerements of her environ ments, not to go into politics and vote and manage affairs "of state, as Is charged, but to do the work which man will not do, thus enabling her to reap the reward of her own industry. She knows many cases where man has lost his job on account of a spree, and oth ers wandering aimlessly about with noth ing to do, while she keeps her home in tact chops wood, prepares and culti vates the garden and does the many things around the home which should receive the attention ot man. Do hot misjudge the "coming wo man.' She is by no means a "man hater." She knows there are many unrishtr hard working men whose first thought is of wife or sister, but when she looks around and sees-the disgust for home, the delight in a cigarette, the joy in a drink, she is forced to the con clusion that the few gooJ men are the exception. She looks with disgust up on the dude clad in the' conventional "yellow shoes." He may be all that he sbrould be, but he belongs to that class of nonentities whose chief occupa tion in life is to wonder why his charms and accomplishments are not. recog nized. This-woman is patient. She is not given to fault-nnaing. iier services are considered at least equal to man s, yet she receives about half the remunera tion an unjust discrimination though she manages to save more than her brother, and too often the entire re sponsibility of the family rests upon her. Coud try boys are leaving the farms and town boys are becoming proficient in all the vices of the day, while wo man is left to Bolve the great problem of home. If man would exercise the same industry and frugality which has char acterized woman want would be banish ed from the land, and the Ponce de Leon springs would gush from every household. It is unnecessary to con sult statistics; observation is sufficient proof that there to-day a larger per cent of women making honest livings than men. Then whose business is it if she does ride a bicycle, or even wear bloom ers? And as the care of the family- is gradually being shifted to her shoulders should she ask for suffrage, who w say she is not entitled to it? ' . Uive lier what the weator intended, and she would be only too glad to quit the thousands of positions .which ,she holds against all comers, and again re enter and grace her legitimate sphere. Sarah C. Charlotte,' N. C, Febl 12, 1895. - Covington Confesses. ' Raleigh, N. C. , February 8. Gover nor Carr recently issued his warrant for the execution of Thomas Covington, a white man, at Newton, for the murder of the cotton mill superintendent, James Brown. Covington has just mivde a fall confession, in which he says that he lied in order to induce Govenor Carr to commute his death sentence, and that . the state's witness, El'am Josey, now in the penitentiary, told the truth. He describes the murder by Baying that he and Josey were in Brown's store at. night to, steal; that Brown found them there, got be tween them and the door and then put down his pistol in order to light a lamp, when Covington says he sprang on him and threw him down and then Josey shot him three times. INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT FKEE SILVER. FOB AriIndependent free-coinage party is a; factor whose influence in' the com ing' Presidential campaign v political journals are attempting ; to estimate" The Populist convention and a national free-silver convention will be held in St. Louis on the. same date, July 22, a few' weeks later than the, national con ventions of the old parties, and a coali tion of silver "forces is expected as a result unless one of the old parties should declare for free silver. . . ' The call for the free-silver convention was issued by a conference of prominent free-silver men of all parties held in Washington last month. Dr. J; J. Mott, of North Carolina, formerly a He publican, was elected chairman of the National Executive Committee. Rep resentation in the convention will be based on the silver-voting strength, - as ascertained by the American .Bimetallic Union. For ' example, Colorado will have 70 delegates, Georgia 50, Missouri 45, Pennsylvania 45, New York 44. : The resolutions of the saver confer ence demand' "the immediate return to the constitutional standard of gold and silver, by the restoration by this Gov ernment, independent of-any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver into standard money, at the ratio-of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality, as they existed prior to 1873; the silver coin to be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts and dues, public arid pri vate." They also declare for issues of legal tender by the Government onlyv The conclude with this declaration: Over and above all other questions of policy, we are in favor of restoring to the people of the United States the time-honored money of the Constitution gold and silver, not one, but both the money of Washington' and Hamil ton, and Jefferson and Monroe, and Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest product, the American debtor pays his just obligations in an honest standard and not in a standard that is appreciated 100 per cent, above the great staples of our country, and to the end, -further, that silver-standard countries may be deprived of the unnat ural advantage they now enjoy in the difference in exchange between gold and silver an advantage which the tariff legislation alone can not overcome. We therefore, confidently : appeal to the people of the United States, that, leaving in abeyance for the moment all other questions, however important, even momentous they may appear,, and sundering if need be their former party affiliations, they unite in a supreme effort to free themselves and their chil dren from the domination of the money : power a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized men m any race and in any age. Upon the consummation of their desires and efforts we invoke the gracious favor of divine Providence. ; ! Contemporaneous with the free-silver conference, Republican silver Senators issued a declaration for signatures, em bodying a demand for a plank in the national Republican platform for 1896. It calls for free coinage of silver at 16 to in order to obliterate the difference in exchange alleged to operate as a bounty to Oriental silver-basis countries, and it favors a tariff which shall equal ize the difference in the cost of labor between this country and the countries of Europe and Asia. Both Republican and Democratic jour nals in the East as a rule insist that their respective national conventions must make clear-cut "sound-money" platforms. The .New York Tribune (Rep) the Times (Dem.), for instance, consider the independent free-silver movement less formidable than in any other form, and they welcome it as unmistakably determining the attitude that the old parties will take on the ihoney questions. The Tables Changed. News and Observer. During the session of the last Con gress the Republicans goaded the Dem ocrats by continually asking" "Why don't-you do something? When we are in we act and always act promptly." Result: the people put the Republicans in power in both Houses of Congress, and now all the people cry out: '.'Why don't you 6To something?

A little 5-year-old boy went out to feed the chickens. . Among them were some very gentle hens which he was in the habit of playing with, lie caught one of these and was playing with it, when he was attacked by one of : the roosters The vicious fowl jumped at the, boy's head' several times, striking hard every time, and making three or four painful wounds, one just under the httle fellow's eye, which only by chance did not put tne eye out. t".;;..

N. 0., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY PROPERTY AND THE GOLD STANDARD. - The free silver organs and orators are continually rantipg akout the deprecia tion of property under the gold stan dardA The-fallacy of this contention was clearly set forth by Hon. Josiah Patterson, of Tennessee, in his : speech in the , house of : representatives : last Friday. He said:. - "': ; ' 'Sir, it has been stated time and again that we have had a very great Ap preciation of gold since 1873 and a very great decline in values. It is not my purpose to enter npon a critical discus sion of this question. I propose to call the attention of the committee to one great fact in our history, which, in my : J . . --. 1 1 . " .... t juugment, reiutes ine proposition, xi is logically and ridiculously absurd ito argue that the decline in the prices of commodities," brought about by the marvelous inventions and improvements of the ages is the result of the fall in the price of silver. ,Tbe truth is that silver itself is a commodity, and, like all other commodities, under modern con ditions, it can be produced at less cost than formerly, and it has declined for the same reason that wheat has declined and manufactured products have de clined. But the great fact which stands out in our histoiy is that during the very -period referred to : we have had marvelous accumulations of wealth in the United States. It must be conceded by every thoughtful student of the history of his country that the United States was practically on a gold standard from 1850 to 1860. Leaving out the decade in which the war took place, we had. from 1870 to 1880 another period of ten years when the country was on a depreciated paper basis. Then another ten years, from 1880 to 1890, when we were admittedly on a gold standard. "Now, Mr. Chairman,' the very im portant fact to which I desire to call the attention of the committee is that in 1850 we had a population of 23,191,876. In 1860 it had increased to 31,443,321. In 1850 the wealth of the United States, amounted to $7,135,780,228. In 1860 if had increased to f 16,159,616,068. Now, during the period we had 35 per cent, increase of population and 426 per cent increase of wealth. This was under the gold standard, i "in 1870 the population of the United States amounted to 38,558,371, and in 1880 to 50,155,783, showing 30 percent increase in population. In 1870 the wealth of the United States amounted to $30,088,518,507, and in 1880 amounted to $43,642,000,000, showing only 45 per cent, increase. Now, in 1890, our population amounted to 62, 622,250 and ourwealth to $65,038,091,' 197, showing an increase of wealth amounting to 49 per cent Now, 7 these two decades, .from 1850 to I860 and from 1880 to 1890, being tje decades in which, we had not only the gold, standard, but the greatest public confi dence in our currency, were the decades in which we have had the largest in crease of. wealth during our national history.- - - "I do not pretend to say, Mr. Chair man, that this wealth was justly or equally distributed. I contend that under the operation of unjust tariff laws and other legislation it was not distributed as it would be under just and equal. laws. But this is not the fault of the currency. The currency affects alike all section and classes- of our people." The silVerites will have a pleasant time getting over the facts vwhich are thus presented. Very often in unguarded moments they admit that they do not believe what they say about the depre ciation of values under the gold stand ard. A free silver paper in this vicinity which has had a great deal to say on this subject, a few days ago exulted over the sale of a piece -of property in Atlanta at nearly $1,500 a front. foot, or about $52 a square foot. The prop erty was bought for $175 in 1 847 and last week $23,258. The same paper frequently refers to the steady, increase in the value of Atlanta property. Mr. Patterson's figures are a complete answer to the plea that the gold stand ard is reducing the value of property in this country. President Cleveland Was Quick to See the FuU Effect of the Heavy Bond Subscription. .. Washington, February 12. The day after the opening of bids for bonds at the treasury department, a cabinet meeting was held. While the president and his advisers were discussing the enormous over-subscription and the general good effects of the issue, the president said: "Gentlemen, there is one feature of the transaction which strikes me par ticularly, and which you seem to have overlooked. It is the effect which this patriotic confidence shown by the Amer ican people in their own . institutions will have on our 'English cousins.' I have doubted before that "we could bring the Salisbury government to our contention which is the right : to inter fere in the affairs of the republics on this continent I haven't a doubt of it now, and my belief is that the tory gov ernment will not only submit its case to the American commission, but will as sent to arbitration on a fair and equita ble basis. . Jusfr how well, the President under stood the situation, this morning's Eng lish cables tell. The feeling in Congress to-day is that the administration has won a diplomatic victory ot far reach ing moment; that there is not only nO longer fear of .war, but that a precedent has been established for all time that no foreign power can seize or acquire terri tory on the American continent. .

Second Author Yes, he wanted to double his circle of readers! ..- THE BOND ALLOTMENT. Baltimore Sun. . " The allotment of the $100,000,000 of bonds ofthe new issue, just announced by Mr. Carlisle, completes a transaction which promises ' excellent r results in various ways -"The average price of the issue being close to 111, the addition made to the gold reserye will be about $111,000,000.. The addition will suf fice,: it is believed in the I absence of jingo war messages, to keep the reserve at a safe figure and insure sound money till the close of the present administra tion. Jl The distribution - of the bonds cannot be accurately stated, since banks and individuals in ' all parts of the country would, "in the ordinary course of business', make their purchases through- New' York?- European sub scriptions would be made through agen cies in the same city; so that the ulti mate destination' of allotments is" but roughly indicated by the facts -given, to the public. " But the' announced geo graphical distribution is this: The Southern States get $1,250,000 of the bonds;, the Central $3,000,000; the Western States $3,250,000; the Eastern States, other than New: York, $5,500, 000, New England $9,000,000, and New York $78,000,000. ,Of the amount Obtained by New York about .$33,170, 000, it is stated, was alloted to the Mor gan syndicate, their bid being better than that of a great majority of the bidders. The actual number of accep ted bidders was 781, and the. rate of Interest they will realize on their invest ment will be about 3 per -cent. The moral effect of the success of the loan has already been seen to be good. Business men, it is seen, are confident that free coinage is not to prevail in the United States.,. In sub-i scribing for a 4 per cent, loan of $100,- 000,000 five times over they, in effect, bet $500,000,000 that the gold basis will be maintained. On a silver basis a 4 percent, bond would pay, in effect,! but 2 per cent., and would not be an altogether desirable investment, but the success , of this issue shows that the j bragging of tne silver men has been, discounted. They make a great deal! of noise at Washington . Demagogues j of both parties talk and vote to capture the 6ilver minority ia their constitu-j tions but free coinage has not been inscribed on the platform of any party but the Populists, and is not likely- to be. The success of this latest loan an exhibition of popular confidence in the continuance -of sound money has amazed the silverites; Had the loan failed they would have been delighted. They did their best to darken the future and make bidders 1 timid. Its success disconcerts and discourages the potters, and from an attitude of absolute confi dence they have passed to that of peti tions. In the debate in the House Saturday the burden of the Republican silverite speeches was an appeal to the Republican party to "do something" for silver. Not long since the silverites iu4. ftimishVo nf r-,rJwinff trt hold a convention of silver men from both parties at St. Louis while the populist convention was in session there, create a new party and nominate a presidential ticket on the single issue of silver, in case neither the Republican nor Demo cratic party would accept absolute free coinage. It was a mistake from their pointrof view because, as a noiBy mi nority, they have exercised a larger influence in both parties than their numbers entitled them to. When they stand forth to be Counted their weakness is betrayed. -- ... Sarcastic Judge. ' 'Judge Walton, who Presides over a court at Washington, is a man of grim humor. He had once imposed a sen tence on a man who was well along in years and not very strong a sentence which the prisoner's lawyer regarded a3 unduly severe. But the man had been convicted of a flagrant offence. f'Your honor," said the lawyer, "my client will not live a quarter of that time." . "Well," said the judge, "I do not wish to be unduly severe. M you pre fer, I will change the sentence to im prisonment for life. The Counsel did not "prefer." One time, in the lobby, a member of the bar was seeking to convey the im pression to a group, of whom Judge Walton was the centre, that his lncoihe from his profession was very largfe. "I have to earn a good deal," the lawyer said "It seems a large story to tell, judge, but my personal, expenses are six thousand dollars a year. It costs me that to live." - "That is too much.

Herald has-made an attempt to-gather from members: of Congress and other politicians in Wash ington, from local . newspapers and; all other available, sources, data from which , can be- derived an idea how the next national Democratic ; conven tion will stand on the coinage question. Figuring upon the basis of the electoral vote, and publishing a table showing its calculation ; for each State, it reaches the following footing: For sound money, 269; for free silver, 175, The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, taking the vote in the' Senate as some index to Democratic opinion upon the question, ana supplementing this witn such -ac curate information as it can get from other sources, makes an estimate as to how the convention will .stand, taking as his basjs the convention vote,, with this resrilt: Total vote in convention, 910. for sound money, 573; for free sil ver373. - ' . The result in both cases is approxi mately the same, the Herald's figfres being a trifle more favorable to fthe sound money men. Jn both calcula tions North Carolina is of course count ed for free silver.- There is every reason in these figures for the encouragerient of sound money men. There has njsver been any reason to doubt that the ina tional convention of this year wouldf re-, affirm- the immemorial principles ot the Democratic party, upon' the financial question. In the ' forcible language of the Greenville, - S. C. News: 'The Democratic party will insure defeat for itself and will probably put itself in sub jection for ten years if it ties itself to the sage bush and silver combination. On a sound monev basis it mav lnsa. but it will have a fighting chancel and it will be on' an enduring foundation and will retain the. respect and confi dence of the country." i Why Latin Is Used.. J "Why doesn't the doctor write;: his prescription in English instead of ., Lat in f " asked a man of a druggist, whose reply the New York Herald publishes: inthe first place, Latin ia a more exact concise language than English, and being a dead language, does not change as living languages do. Ihen, again, since a very large part of all drugs jn use are . botanical, they have in the pharmacopoeia the same that they have in botany the scientific names. - Two-thirds Of such -drugs haven't any English, names, and so couldn't be written in English. i But suppose a doctor did write a pre scription in English for an uneducated patient. The patient reads it, thanks he remembers it, and so tries to get it filled from memory the second time. Suppose for instance, it called for iodide of potassium, and he got it confused with eyanide of potassium.-. He could one grain of the second would kill him. That's an extreme case but it I- will serve for an illustration. Jjon tjyou see how the Latin is a. protection 'and a safeguard to the patient ? Prescriptions in Latin he cant read, and consequently does not try to remember. , ! j ; ixow ior a nnai reason. JLatinas a language that is used by scientific !men the world over, and no other language is. You can get a Latin prescription filled in any country on the face of the earth where there is a drugstore. We had a' prescription here tne ether day which we had put up originally, and which had since been stamped by druggists in London, . Pans, Berlin, Constantinople, Cairo and Calcutta. vv nat goon would an .English prescrip tion be in St. Petersburg ? A Populist Solomon. Salisbury Herald. The Populists are always jdoing strange things and making new discov eries, but nothing that we have yet seen beats tne performance of a Populist magistrate in this county. A ; negro who threatened to kill another was brought before this magistrate Saturday upon a peace warrant Instead of re quiring the negro to give a bond .to keep the peace, as is customary, this modern Solomon sentenced the offender to the county roads for six months and. Sent him by a constable to Sheriff Monroe, who was instructed to see that the sen tence was carried out. The committ ment stated that after the sentence imposed had been served the prisoner was to be taken back to the magistrate, who would discharge, him after the costs were paid. j Sheriff Monroe has the negro in! cus today, but will not carry him to the chain gang, as the sentence is clearly without warrant of law. jj ; Cheaper Telephones.

A year ago the Treasury, could get no more than 104.4909 for fifty millions of these bonds, for the reasori that the pos sibility ' of maintaining gold payments was at that time more than, question able and Congress had refused to. auth orize the distinct promise of gold that would have commanded! the - higher rate, ine experience of the year, with the generally improving j conditions of the Treasury, has gone far to re-establish confidence, and tbej country will get the advantage of improved credit in a greatly reducecynterest charge. Senator Tillman said in his recent pitchfork speech: j "I am I the only far mer m the Senate, pure and simple." What does farmer Butler of North Car olina say to this? He has taken oc casion when "the opportunity has of fered to inform the country that he is a farmer, but not showing soi much famil iarity . with 'the pitchfork, the curry comb, and the grabbing hoe, as the Senator from South Carolina, the peo-1 pie in Washington may have become as ignorant of his prof esskra as are the people of Sampson county. Clinton Democrat. j The clergyman of one of the churches of this city recently delivered a sermon in which he scolded his congregation for their failure to support him in proper style. . Jie argued that his sal ary of $5,000 a year did not represent the value of his services, and that it ought to be at least twice as,jnuch as that. He told his people jthat he could make more money if he were to take np some other business, and he spoke Words of warning to them which are said to have had an effect upon the authorities of his church . . This . par ticular preacher i belongs to the class known as "sensationalist" and we in fer from what we have heard about his sermons that it would be well for hirri to look for a job outside of the pulpif, more especially if he can get higher pay elsewhere. New York Sun. The New York Sua on Mai-j Ann Butler. In an issue of last week the New York Sun has the-f ollowing references to Senator Butler: ! "There is a regretable dispute in North. Carolina as to which of the Sena tors in Congress from thit State loves silver the more and has done the more for it, the Hon. Jeter Columbus Pritch ard,Republican, or the Hon. Marion Xvt.K Endless Chain of Honejteutt's, these lovers of the large, jwhite Both dollars Of our sires and the buzzard will thus be inspired not to greater efforts, for that is impossible, but to longejr; and in the case of the Endle3s Uham of Honey cutt's that, too, is impossible. He cannot very well talk more time then than there is. and all that he fully oc cupies already. It is entirely in har mony with , the best Populist thought, however, to bring m a bill increasing the number'of hours in the day to sixty of six hundred minutes each; and even if such a bill should become a law, the Hon. Marion Butler would have on his hands several thousand ages of speeches more than he could use. " . . "The Hon. Marion Bufler, the End less Chain of Honeycutt'S, seeine the impossibility of uttering i within finite space and time the thoughts that arise in him, has taken to the pen. An ad dress of his. calling on the North Caro linians to organize a separate silver party, is now burning over the State. But a new party would be only a tern' porary relief to Mr. Butler. If he had a hundred new parties a jweeic to write and make speechess, addresses, warn ings, resolutions, and pssays'to, he would still feel a constriction oi me brain and throat; be conscious still that most of the load of wisdom under'which he bows must remain undelivered, ana that he must die with most of his music in him, although the yeirs of Methu saleh should be his. Wonderful but tangled Endless Chain!" j. One reason why women are so gener ally troubled with some derangement of the distinctly feminine organism is that aa girls they learn nothing about their twn physical make up. Parents are waking up to the importance of education of this kind, and young women are becoming jnore anr more able to take care of their health. Carelessness in girlhood'causes the great est suffering and unhappiness in afterlife. Little. irregularities and weaknesses in girls should be looked after promptly and treat ment given at once. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription promotes regularity of all fem inine functions, makes strength and builds up a sturdy health with wljiich to meet the trials to come. The " Favorite Prescrip tion " is not a universal panacea. It is good for but one thing. It is directed solely at one set of organs. I have been a sufferer from 'female weak ness for six years. I grew worse; had severe cutting pains In left ovary, also in left side and stomach. The pain in left side was constant. I would have light spasms previous to monthly ceriod and when the spasm would leave I would suffer from severe soreness all over and could, bear nothing: to touch me. I also suffered from severe headaches; burning pressure on brain J wnicn- almost causea me 10 oc insane, i coaia not lay my head down without smothering. My' face was poor; eyes looked dead; wasted in flesh. I was constipated and suffered severe pain when bowels would act. I could not eat for the full ness in region of stomach. I had tried three of the best doctors here but they only gave me tem porary relief. I had given op all hope of ever getting well again. At last I concluded to give Er. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a trial. I have taken two bottles, one of the .'Golden Medical Discovery and one of 'Pellets.' I have not felt any signs of my old disease; headache all gone; menses regular without ache Or pain. Indeed I feel like a new person." Yours truly. Rogers, Benton Co., Ark. .
