The American irl has learned
to feel that in Edward W. liok she
has a strong chamiion. lut Mr.
liok, although he is ever ready to
advocate her cause, is not blind to
her faults. He confesses that she
has one glaring one at least, and
of this he writes as follows in the
April Ladies' Home Journal: "If
one wishes to be candid, and real
ly cristicise the American girl, not
for a score of fancied faultr which
are not hers, but for a fault which
is peculiarly hers, it is that she
fritters away a deal of time on
things, nml does not . givel'" Carolina; llicrc aru also several
many
enough time to any one thing, One
advantage which this fault has is
that she can overcome it. And
she should. She should learn the
art of application. Whatever she
starts out to do let her do it Well.
It she wants to play let her learn
to play, not indifferently, but welbj
If her taste is for china-painting
let ner concentrate her mind to
that, and learn to paint well. If
she is fond of needlework let her
train herfelf to be an expert of the
needle. It her tendencies lead her
to languages let her take up that
tongue the sttuly of which attracts
her most. But it she takes up
French let her content herself with
French, and not study French one
dav and German the next. Nor
ghould she forget that to know the
English language well is her first
duty."

IMXI1JJ3 IIOOK.
The first settlers in Lincoln and
the adjoining counties crossed the
Catawba about the year lToO;
memories of them as well as many
valuable papers s til i linger among
their decendants. I have in un
hands a little book which will
doubtless interest many of your
readers. This was the property ot
John liamsour. The Ramsours of
this section trace their descent
from Died rick liamsour. . The
family came; from Germany to
Switzerland; thence to Pennsyl
vania ; and, then, to this State.
Diedrick was sometimes called
Derrick but commonly '"Teeter.'
He came here about 1750 and set
tled two miles south of where Lin
colnton now- stands. I have been
unable to obtain any information
relative to John liamsour except
this little book, but believe him to
have" been a kinsman of Diedricks,
probably a son. If a son he per
haps never left Pennsylvania, or
died young; each of the sons of
Derrick.Jacob and David, named
one of their sons John; at the time
John visited this section lTai Jacob
A: David were about L'O years of age;
and there is a tradition that Died
rick left one of his sons in Phila
delphia, who never came south to
live; he was hired there to finish
paying for their passage; the read
er will later see a reference to a
letter lie received from his lather
items however, of a later date and
by a (lifVerent hand, in regard to
the estate of David liamsour; I al
so quote a reference to his being
in this very section in 1752 when
he visited ''henry witner"'. These
are some of the facts from which
the inference is drawn that he was
the son of Diedrick. It is hoped
however this article will come un
der the observation of some one
who can clearly indicate who this
John liamsour was.
The book is bound in buck-skin,
contains 45 pages, and is at least
142 years old. On the fly-leaf is
written :
"John Ramsower his mamber
rantom book August 27 day 1752
; to his gorney went.
"John travel t from home to the
Tuch Copers S days
"Cot to gorneys ent to Anry
Jamberts tis 0 any of October 1752.
On the back of it among faded
items this entry is clearly legible:
'Born August ' 1720."
In this book is kept a diary of
o::. iis-s of two trips irom Penn
sylvania to Carolina and return.
He seems to have been a Dutch
man who kept 1m record in Eng-jthe
lish and spelled the words just as
(hey sounded to him. I will now
give a portion of the items; as 1

Silver the Inane.
The new party for 1890 is now
ooming in for its share of com
ment. It is to be the silver party.
The money question is of supremo
importance, and affects tho pros
perity of the country more largely
than any other question, but to
subordinate all other questions to
one issue is absurd, and a party
cannot go into power on that a
lone. Silverites are determined on
some substantial silver legislation,
ami they cut a big figure, for thero
is hardly any doubt but that tho
people d' t'is country as a wholo
largely favor bimetalisni indeed
the entinent has gained ground
quit? rapidly in the past few
months, and is growing every day.
The leaders of both the Democratic
and Republican party are waking
to the fact that the silver question
is of vital importance, and that the
masses of the people will not be
satisfied with anything short of
some measure that will reinstate
silver to her former position. In
deed, we believe that it was tilt)
! biggest mistake the Democrats
made in tie ro'tMi' term of Con
grers when they faded to jjivo the
U' - nntry som
incisure aloio' this
in .
.Mugwump Cleveland wes large

j and tie blame -demld rest oh him
ho should have been a light but
was a stumbling block. As a
D inocrat, we regret his selection
by the parly as a fatal mistake
We thought so at the time, and we
have never had reason to alttr our
opinion. If we had had a sound
Demociat in place of that hibred
duck hunter, the party would not
be in its preen shape. However
Democracy has too much in it for
it to relliain in the background. It
is thejtrue party of the people and
is yet the channel through which
t ie people should fiht for their
vie.vty. Thy t lection of our next
standard bearer is of the suprem
est importance. I'pon that selec
tion will depend largely tho
strength that the new party will
develop. The National Democrat
it platform in SJo mmt declare
for silver in no ambiguous terma
and the standard bearer rnii9t be a
man whom the people have faith
in that the platform iillbe carried
out. With such a policy and such
a leader we are bound to win. The
Democrats of the South and VeSt
