Speaker Crisp on ttie Situation Ex-Speaker Crisp is in the city to-day en route home from a trip to the north, which wa9 undertak en for the purpose of getting well he say3, Mr. Crisp looks well.and apparently has not lost any flesh worrying oyer the silver situation in the south, which is believed to bo a source of anxiety to some people in public life about this time. 'Well, yes, there is considerable talk about silver down south,"said Mr. Crisp to a Star reporter to-day 'I don't know that it i3 any more, pronounced now than at any other time, although it may seem to lie so on account of the general prom inence given to the financial ques tion throughout the country. You see, the south has always believed i in the use of eiiver in our national currency. I am not prepared to say that the thinking people of that section would come out radi cally on a silver single standard. They are not radical about any thing. They believe, however,that we cannot have a return of pros peious . conditions in the country on the contracted currency of a srold basis There seems to oe a j general willingness among our freely tho disease is deptived of a'l people to give silver an opportu-jd-mgerous consequence, Tmrois I no d r.ger in giving the Remedv to Hu3 babiee, s it contrt'ns nothing inju 4WThat significance' do you at-j nou. 25 and 51 cent botties o tach to the coming sound mony We by Dr W L Orouse Druggisr. convention at Memphis ?" asked the Star man. j 'That gathering will represent the boards of trade and commer cial organizations of the South, It will not be representative of the mass of the people nor of their, sentiments about silver. I hope at the meeting they will argue and discuss the silver question from their standpoint. These self styled 'sound money' people do not make arguments to support their general allegations. They simply state something as a fact and let it go at that. This will not satisfy tho people. They want to know the reasons, the why and the wherefore of the matter, be cause the advocates of silver have explained their position and the reasons actuating them in taking it." Mr. Crisp says that, aside from the discussion of sliver, politics are quiet in Georgia. This is an off year fr the politicians down there, he says, and the absence of campaigns of any kind leaves them nothing to talK about. Mr. Crisp had heard nothing of the move ment said to be on loot in the south for a silver convention to follow the anti-9ilver meeting at Memphis. Washington Star. Suspicion oi Foul I'lay Uon tcsl Over a Will. Mrs. Katie Kestler has been making her home with her son-in-law, Mr. Robt. A. Ramsey, in Da vidson township. Mrs. Kestler owned considerable property and 6ome- time ago application was made to Clerk Furches by Mr. Ramsey for the appointment of a guardian for Mrs. Kestler on the ground that she was xcn comtos mentis. An examination was held and a jury decided that Mr. Kest ler was of unsound miner. There upon Clerk Furches granted the appointed ex-Sheriff Wycoff guard ian. Before Mr. Wycoff had filed his bond and taken charge of her affairs Mrs. Kestler died, her death occurred last Saturday night. Monday her body was taken to St. Luke's church, in Rowan coun ty for burial. Her son, Mr. Wel- liugton Kestler, who lives in Row- an, was present and forbade the interment, charging foul play, and the coroner of Rowan was sent for to hold an inquest. A special of Tuesday from Salisbury to' the Charlotte Observer says: "Nothing as yet has be?n heard from the coroner but several dam aging reports aie . current. News was received at Cleveland by par tie's ou the train that there were indications of poisoning and that the deceased lady's stomach would be sent to an expert chemist for analysis." The Landmark learned last ev ening that a post morten examin ation was held and that further investigation will be made, but the truth or falsity of the suspicion of foul play has not been determined up to yesterday. Yesterday Mr. Ramsey, accom panied by his son and daughter, was here to have Mrs. Kesller's will, in which she made Ramsey's children her heirs, probated. It appears that Mrs. Kestler had pre viously made a will, which had been probated in Rowan, and in which sho made her son, Welling ton Kestler, executor. T. 0. Linn Esq., of Salisbury, representing Mr. Kestler, was here yesterday, and with Messrs. Armfield & Tur ner, appeared before the clerk to resist the application for probate of the Ramsey will. Messrs Long and Caldwell appeared for Ram sey . The clerk has not yet decided the case. Landmark.

The bees - are swarming right lively now. Yesterday a swarm pitched on a tree at the curbstone on Second street, close to the Cur rie stable building now occupied by Mr. II. L. Fennell, and took possession ot the sidewalk. Chief of Police Melton was sent for at once to arrest these obstruction ists. The chiet responded promptly to the call, as is his habit, but the little male-factors objected to be ing disturbed and resisted the ef forts of the chief and policemen to dislodge them. During the melee the chief was stung in many plac es and retired in good order, leav- ; jng the field in possession of the enemy. A counsel of war was afterwards held and a campaign fought be tween the dejures and the defactos later in the day, the dejure3 final ly prevailing through and by the aid of scientific finesse. To-dav a wooden awning in front of Mr. Jno. L. Boatwrieht's grccery store was captured by these aggressive obtrnders and at last accounts they were in undis puted possession, Chief of Police Melton had been telephoned for some time before the Dispatch re porter reached the scene of disor der, but up to the time of the re porter's departure no tidings had been received of his whereabouts or intentions.

Wilmington Dis patch. Our Idea Kxprscd ly Others. The Danyille Va., Evening Star referred to a paragraph in this pa per ot last Sunday, giving its rea sons for not desiring to enter at this time into an elaborate coutro- versy upon finance, proceeds to de- . ... , -. i hne what it understands tins pa- per's relation to the whole ques tion to be and does it better than We ever have or could. AVe thank ' CUr Virginia contemporary. An- other Virginia contemporary, the Richmond Dispatch, occupies, also precisely the relation to the ques tion that the Observer does. We quote: "We have nevei demanded a coinage ratio of 1G to 1, but have always desired to leave the ques tion of the ratio between the white and the yellow metals to be determined by the internasional be-metallic conference. A9 we said the other day, the coinage ra tio is a most important question, involving as it does almost every feature of bi-metallism. Mre: We have never pretended to be lieve that this country could main tain a silver currency or the coin ago of silver as a ratio of 10 to 1, without the co-operation of say England and Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, and other countries ought to join in the movement. Wo know, or certain ly suppose, that contrary to our own views a large majority of the Democrats of Virginia are in favor of tho free coinage of silver at a ralio of 10 to 1, and without inter national co-operation. We see however, no reason for denouncing them and speaking of them as simpletons because thy do not concur in our opinions." These are our positions exactly, and while our situation in the par ty in North Carolina U just, that of the Dispatch in Virginia, and while we see no reason for de nouncing those who do not think with us, and have never dode so, we may go on and say that wo h ive no fancy for being denounced by them. If we were going to b dis nonest about tins ousmess we should bo dishonest on the popular ! side of it. Can You Iterp Your Hand Stiii ? Thought provokes action. Think ot doing something, and (uncon sciously perhaps) you begin to do it. In the university of Wisconsin! Professor Jastrow has an instru ment called the automatograph, which shows very clearly and pre cisely the automatic movements of the hand. It consists merely of a piece of glass resting on three movable metal feet, or, in other words, it is a small carrsage which will shift its position at the slightest move ment. At the end is a needle fixed "ver tically, and in contact with a roll; of paper covered with a layer of I lampblack. If the apparatus J moves, the movement is traced on on Hi nniipr liv lifAlf l?i tll 1 ' J - - naner and need e are Jndden ov a I screen. Professor Jastrow tells vou to , , J rest your hand upon the glass and J keep it perfectly still, pears quite easv, but linn u y when you I thir-k that vour hand is quite mo tionless 3ou find to your suprise that the needle is tracing lines on the paper. The fact is you cannot keep your hand still. Unconsciously and in visibly it moves with your thoughts. Ix)ok at that pair of scales, wa-teh how the rod gees tli is way and that way as the scales move. Now look at the black paper. You will find that your hand has been moving ex actly in agreement with the move ment of the rod. x.

One of the lato Senator Stan ford's maxims, and a bit of in struction that he gave his em ployees was ; "Whatever you do, bo sure that you do it a little bet ter than any one else." It would bo difficult to find a precept that more clearly points out tho rod to prosicrity than this. Whoever takes a motto for a guide is bound to achieve something worth while. The world is overrun' with half dono work and half-doing workers, and as a matb r of course, there are great number of unemployed people and any amount of grumb ling and unhappincst. To try to larn what is best, then study it and become an Xpert in it, means plenty of work at good pay. It is tfie rarest thing in tho world to find any one who does something unusually well asking for employment. Of course, such things may and do occur, but idle ness with such people is merely an incident and not bv any means a regular condition. 'i ho world ii lull of people who want &o-d serv ice and who are aide and willing to pay for it. Of all mistaken ideas, that i the worst that one gets when the motive and purpose ot life- is lo shirk and to do only w hat one must do in order to keep a long. It would stem that young people must learn, in due course of time, that irood work is a com- mands'good pay. Whatever evil Connst'U one may get m the world, that which prompls unfaithful performance of duty and the mer est eye-service is the most danger ous to the future well-being of the individual. Teachers and parents and all persons v'ho have in any way the charge of the ycung should impress upon them the importuic; of faithful, painstaking, and a thorough understanding of their business if they desire to become propTou una respected. They have only to l-jok about them to see what an enormous number of half-heai t d, indolent, unsuccess ful people there are in every com munity. This in itssif should be a sullicient iessou to them, and would, if properly put before them do much toward remedying one of tho greates; evils of modern times. There is no lack of something to do in this world; the difficulty is to tyet some one to do it and do it as it should be done. X. Y. Ledg er.
