THE HEADLIGHT. PUBLISHED KVKItY TIIUKSDAY. UnsCIUI'TlOX $1.00 I'KIl YEAH. A. KOSCOWFK, Editor and rniprietor. (;oi.dsi:oho. N. C, Jan. HI. 18!)j. THE PRESIDENT'S .MKSSAfJE. Jt lias Ik'vii again tin' duty and J he privilege f President Cleve land to speak :i word in season, a word of advice and entreaty to the dilatory representatives of the peo ple in Congress assembled. It should not have been necessary for the President again to urge upon Congress the necessity for such linancial legislation as would relieve and protect the Treasury from the danger of an exhausted gold re mtvo and restore confidence at home and abroad in the ability of ihe (iovernment to maintain iinini paircd tiie national credit. Such dut' has been plainly set forth and enforced in the President's annual message in December. The message of the President sfnt into Congress Monday, and in tended to propose a plan to extri cate this country from its fearful linancial straits, in brief provides for the issue of percent, bonds, payable in gold lifty years after date; for redemption and cancella tion of legal tender and Treasury notes; for allowing national banks to issue c irculation to an amount equal to the par value of bonds de posited: for the retirement of silver certificates of less denomination than ten dollars, and for the issue of small notes in their place, ami requiring payment of all import duties in gold. While this is not the plan which cither one of the great parties, or any one of the va rious subdivisions, would have chosen, it is a food plan and will solve the question, though it looks like retrogression to require im ports to be paid in gold. Kverv I'nited Stati-s note should be as good as gold, w ithout any round about way to make it so. The facts constituting the finan cial situation have been known and patent to all who have knowledge of what is going on in the business world. The press has taken up the subject, and with almost unex ampled unanimity has been urging Congress to do something. In both houses leading men of both parties have been frank to recognize both the peril of the situation and the certainty and justice of popular condemnation which would inevit ably le visited upon Congress for its failure to take prompt and ade quate action to avert the threatened danger of an exhausted, reserve and a damaged national as well as individual credit. Yet Congress has done nothing. It was, therefore, imperative that the President should speak and that he should make another and final appeal to the patriotism of Con gress, without reference to party. The question of the maintenance and preservation of the national credit is in no sense a party ques tion. It is not a question of the fulfillment of Democratic pledges any more than of the Kepublican pledges. Therefore, says the Pres ident, no one in any degree re sponsible for the making and exe cution of our laws should fail to see a patriotic duty in honestly and sin cerely attempting to relieve the situation." And with equal force and emphasis he adds: "Mani festly this effort will not succeed unless it is made untrammelled by the prejudices of partisanship and with a steadfast determination to resist the temptation to acconTplish party advantage." This is the voice and the counsel alike of pa triotism and of wisdom. It remains to be seen in what spirit Congress will respond to this appeal to its sense of duty to the American people. It is but fair to say that while there has been a strange variety of counsels, and culpable, nay, shameful, delay on the part of Congress, a deliberate intention to permit nothing to be done at the present session has only been manifested on the part of a small coterie of so-called "'silver" Senators, owners of mines or rep resentatives of mine owners or silver-mining constituencies. When Senator Teller says that no finan cial legislation can pass the present Congress, or Senator Stewart says that no linancial bill has a ghost of a chance, or Senator Dubois says that nothing can be done in the Senate, no matter how low the gold reserve in the Treasury may fall, or even if it should be entirely ex hausted, the American people per fectly understands what this means. They know that the silver men in the Senate are ready to take a leaf out of the book and to copy the ex ample of the Sugar Trust brigands at the last session, when the tariff bill was under consideration. They know that under cover and protec tion of the detestable "rules and traditions'' of the Senate the Amer ican people are again to be taken byVivelhroat and "held up." Boston Flashes. Mrs. E. K. Hartley, of Jason, was visiting relatives here Friday. We hart a regular mixture of wea ther cm Monday rain, sleet and snow. John J j. Parks paid us girls a "pop" call, Sunday afternoon. Come again, John. - J. A. Hartley will leave for Siler City in a few clays, to look after his mercantile interests at that place. Mrs. J. Rice and daughter Minnie were here visiting last week. Miss Minnie left for Wilson, Saturday, to teach school. There will be considerable oats sown this season. We hear most of the Fall-sown oats was killed during the recent freezes. Mrs. J. L. Murphrey, of Kinston, and Mrs. Dempsey Wood, of Falling Creek, were visiting Mrs. G. E. Hart ley here, Monday, returning to their respective homes that evening. On account of the high prices of fertilizers, our farmers contemplate curtailing their cotton acreage this season. Hope they will stick to this intention and devote more attention to other crops. Mount Olive Reports. There is absolutely nothing stir ring. Our town is unusually quiet. The recent heavy rains have done considerable damage to the bridges over the streams near twn. Some of our sidewalks are badly washed by these heavy showers, and furnish pitfalls to belated travelers. A series of meetings is in progress at the Baptist church, llev. A. A. Butler is a fait.iful, earnest pastor, anrt his services are well attended. That old piece of sheet-iron that j lies on the platform at our depot is : apt to be the cause of a serious ac cident some of these dark nights. It should be kept within the warehouse when not in use. Dr. W. C. Steele, late of Concord, has located among us, and has hung out his shingle at the old Flowers office. Dr. Steele is well known in his profession, and we bespeak for him a successful career. All papers containing reports of the "doings" of the Legislature are eagerly sought after. Even those who are responsible for this gather ing of the seers (?) are wearing long faces over the spurious bills, etc., that arc being turned loose upon this country. " Tis an ill wind blows no body good." Fremont Echoes. Miss Maggie Aycock is quite sick, to the regret of her many friends. W. H. Peacock has bought an in terest in the mercantile business of Peacock, Davis & Co. Subscriptions and renewals to The Headlight will be received by J. M. Stone for Fremont and vicinity. Roscoe Baliauce came very near having his kitchen destroyed by fire, Thursday. A defective flue was the cause. Misses Mattie Speight and Julia Daniels, of the Speight's Bridge sec tion, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Speight here. F. II. Hooks has taken a position with Peacock, Davis & Co., as sales man, where he will be pleased to see his many friends. A. G. Bogue has opened a first class drug store in the building for merly occupied by Mrs. J. D. Davis. We wish him success. A regular old-fashioned "candy pulling" tcvk place at Mrs. Thomas Clai-k's, Friday night, anrt was highly enjoyed by all present. John Moore, of Old Sparta, was in town Sunday, presumably on busi ness (?), judging from the place at which he was stopping. Some of our young people took in the concert at Pikeville, Friday night, and pronounce the entertain ment a grand success, for which no little praise is due Mrs. W. L. Pike, the efficient manager. Pikeville Budget. Miss Mollie Chamberlain, of Golrts boro, is visiting relatives anrt friends here. Subscriptions and renewals to The Headlight will be received by W. L. Pike for Pikeville and vicinity. Miss Eillie Bailey, of Farmville, who has been spending several weeks with relatives here, left for home, Sunday. Miss Ella Vail, of the Salem sec tion, returned home Saturday, after spending several days in our town, the guest of Miss liena Massey. Miss Agues Stallings, one of our most accomplished and popular young ladies, left Thursday for Lake City, S. C, to engage in teaching school. Our farmers are contemplating planting melons enough to load a car two days in every week while the season lasts. If they do this and put in some peas and potatoes, we think they will find it more profitable than four-cent cotton. The Thirdites are still crying "hard times," but think of a little town like ours that has actually killed 20, 000 pounds of pork and onh' 142 souls to consume it. What say xu? With us it is plenty of "hog and hominy," for this year, at least. The entertainment given by the Literary Society, Friday night, was a success in e'.ery particular, not withstanding the inclemency of the weather. Nathan B. Berger and Dennis W. Cobb, two sports from Goldsboro, were on hand, and the address which Mr. Cobb delivered after the performance was over, was a treat to those who stayed long enough to hear it. ws From Everywhere. Mr. Vanderbilt's bricklayers, near Ashevillc, are out on a strike. In a train wreck, caused by a spread of track', at Catsville, Intl., Tuesday, two persons were killed and thirty-two injured. The proprietor of Gaynors Hotel, Chicago, was killed, and the night clerk fatally burned, by a gasoline explosion, Tuesday night. An electric wire dropped on a tel egraph wire at Winston, Saturday, which caused a conflagration in the telegraph office, which was badly damaged. Albert Patton, aged 21, of Ashe ville, while hauling wood, Monday, fell from the wagon and was instant ly killed, being run over by one of the wheels. While burning brush heaps in Co lumbus county, Wednesday, Maggie L. Spaulding colored, aged 22, was burned to death by her clothing be coming ignited. Ella Shafford,' a white woman, aged 33, was shot and killed at Hoff man, Richmond county, Tuesda', by Robert George, her companion, who claims the shooting was accidental. Those (iood Old Times. Monroe Enquirer. How long have "times been hard," how long has " money been scarce?" Take the files of any newspaper, and go back 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years, and read the advertisements, and you will find that ail along merchants and manufacturers have been telling the people that "owing to the hard times and scarcity of money we are forced to make a slaughter of prices.' The "good old times," when times were good and money was plentiful, is always just in the past. We praise the past age as being the golden era of man's existence. Our fathers abused that age aud de clared that times were wonderfully hard. Our children will bless this age as the "good old time," and we complain that it is the hardest time in all ages. "But it is natural for the aged to extol the days of their youth; the weak, the era of their strength; the sick, the era of their vigor; and the disappointed, the spring-tide of their hopes." Like the old mtmkev whose teeth were so worn that he could no longer gnaw a cocoanut, and lamented that in these latter davs the shell of the cocoanut grew tougher and thicker, so do men think that times rather than them selves change.
