Knt-rf(i Rt th imtft Granville, N C. ax "coni clans mail matter. FEIDAY, : : : July 12. 1395 REALLY, IlKAIi NICK ! Just think of it ! You can go to Ocracoke. And it is so convenient, too. Buy your ticket, get on the boat here, and some time not in the distant future, you are at Ocracoke, historical Ocracoke. Let's see how easily it is done : You buy your ticket. Two dollars, please ! Then you go aboard the steamer, Mevers. Off you go for Washington. At that delightful town yon spend considerable time and perhaps cash. At lop. m . you leave for Ocracoke, and of course set there o. k. When ready, you return by tlie same route and nearly the fame con venieuce. Now, lt's see again You pay 2 for a round trip ticket. You get to Washing ton and stay there or on the boat, long enough for two meals, costing doubtless anoth er $1. You are only twenty live miles from home, and though it is yet eighty miles to Ocracoke the round trip fare from there is just $1. For a round trip of 210 miles you pay i '1 he people of Washington for a round trip pay$l for 100 miles. Green ville pays one cent . a mile, Washington pays ; . And the business ot Greenville is about what keeps up the (J. 1). S. S. line on Tar river. Did you ever hear of such discrim ination and do you wonder that the railroad drove the two lines into consolidation ; Another thing. People here have to lose a day on that trip while the boats for Ocracoke leave Washington at lo o'clock at night. Why shouldn't the boat wait here till six or seven p. in. for the benetit of our peo pie, and then make close con nections at Washington ; AY HO lOKS? subject by the theories pro- I pounded and confounded by the wiseacre who has never yet mastered the science of economy sufficiently to make both ends meet" under favorable and rea sonable circumstances. Neith er has the blustering politi cian, whom it is hard to tell where he is at, added much in formation to our scanty stock, for his eagerness to be with the majority, leads to distrust. We once heaided a wiry pol itician, who flopped three times in '92, say that the science of government, and the solution of the financial difficulties of the country were the simplest things in the world and that any man, not a fool, could see through the whole matter. After listening to him a while our conclusisn was that it might be a simple problem, but as he was so much simpler we would have to look to other quarters for any information of value. So it is with silver. Every body talks silver. Few know little about it. We do not understand the silver question About all we know is that we are glad to get a little silver sometime and want to see its as money continued on a just ratio with gold. We want to see gold, silver and pajr cur rency on the same basis, re ceiveable anywhere for all debts or obligations due the government or any one- Make silver a full legal tender at a proper ratio. This country is not ready for free silver. But silver must be retained and maintained as money. The new laws are out, and in some respects, are novelties rare and curiosities valuable. The last leg islature could hae left no more en during monument, to itself, than those two little volumes of laws, but contrary to custom of monument builder, those who took such im lKrtant part in the wont, would like nothing better than to destroy their own work. But these are mouumeots more enduring than stone, nd they buildetl betler than thev ktew.
