has been several times remodeled.
In 18110 Tryon Street church was
divided, and tho new I rirnty con
grcgiition formed, llrevard Street
Methodist church was organized
soiiio years ago, and is now nourish
ing. Last year a Methodist chapel
was built at I til worth, tho work be
ing cariied on in connection with
Trinity church. And a chapel was
also built on North (Iraham street,
being under tho auspices ot tho
Tryon Street chinch. It is also
contemplated to build a chapel at
Pclmont at an early date.
Church Street Church, in tho
southern part of tho city, was liogtin
soiiio twenty odd years ago, and has
developed into an active, self-sup-
mrting congregation.
There aro now between 1500 and
2000 members of tho various Meth

(Norfolk Virginian.)
"How do you viow tho non action
of tho dominant party in the matter
of money legislation 1 a Virginian
reporter asked lion. W. J. Pryan
"I ho ICcpublicans promised to
maintain tho gold standard until
loreign nations joined in bimetal
lisui. 1 his does not require any at
Urinative action except as to tho at
tempt to secure inter national bimet
allihin, and tho administration ha
sent a commission abroad to consult
other nation in regard to a confer
ence. It seem to me that tho He-
publicans are doing upon tho money
(jucation all that could bo expected
of them. It is probable that tho
administration will recommend a
commission to consider tho fjoestion
of retiring tho greenbacks, and I
think it is also probable that tho
commission will bo so selected a to
report in favorof retiring tho green
backs. Tho Uepiiblicans did not,
during the campaign, promise to ro
tiro tho greenbacks, but there is no
doubt that tho Uepnblican leaders
desire to do so."
"Has your observation upon tlio
subject of hard times led you to ho-
ievo (hat they aro improving f
"So far as I have been able to
see, there has tieen no general im
provement in business conditions.
1 ho failures reported weekly do not
dilTer materially in number from
those reported a year ago, and bank
failures have been more numerous
since tho election than they were
before."
"What aro tho chief reason of
the continued business depression '"
"Tho position taken by bimetal-
lists during tho campaign was that
the low prices received by a largo
portion of tho producers of wealth
made it impossible for thorn to buy.
When tho tanner has nothing left
after paying his taxes and interest,
lie cannot buy from the manufac
turer, and when manufacturers can
not sell they cannot employ labor. 1
When people are idle they are not
good customers for tho merchants."
"Is the silver sentiment on the
increase ?"
"The silver sentiment is growing.
This is apparent from the number
who are announcing their conver
sion, and from the spring elections.
I have no doubt that the silver cause
will be much stronger in 1900 than
it was last year."
"Are you in favor ol the main
tenance of free silver clube until
11)00?"
"Yes, decidedly. While events
aro the best teachers, yet those who
believe in free silver must point out
from time to time the course of
events, and show their connection
with tho money question. If the
members of the free silver clubs will
make it their business to circulate
literature and keep the matter bo
fore the public constant conversions
to bimetallism will lie the result."
"Do vou expect the gold Demo
cratic party to lie a factor in the next
elect iou f
It ia hard to say what influence
the gold Democrats will have in the
next election. The 1 slmer and
Puckner vote was only about 130,-
0H), many of these being cast by
persons who thought they were vot
ing for a Democratic ticket. There
is no way ot knowing how manv
gold Denwerat voted for Mr. Mc
kinley. If the gold Democrats act
alone they will lie insignificant in
1100, If they act with the Repub
licans they may be of some assist
ance. My own opinion is that a
large number of those Democrats
who supported the gold standard in
ISl'O will lie thoroughly con verted
to bimetallism before 11KK). As 1
have had occasion to remark on pre
vious occasions, I do not think there
can be any political affiliation be
tween the regular Democrats and
the bolters. If the bolters come to
us they must come back believing
in the Chicago platform. If any of
the Democrats are converted to the
gold standard they can go to the
bolters."
"What are your impressions of
the South gathered from yooi tour

"The South is not suffering any
more than the rest of the country.
Io tact, I am not sure that the
South is suffering as much as some
other sections. The people of the
Sjuth have not borrowed as largely
as they have in some portion of the
country, and, therefore, not so much
injured by fall rg price. When a
person is in debt he has certain fixed
charge which do not fall with fall

A Mean Trick.
At the Stitto Medical convention
in St. Louis lust week, Dr. Donelan,
ot St. Joseph, told the reporter of
the Globe. Democrat the following
story. He said :
"After tho adjournment of a con
vention a lew years ago, Drs. Knight
and Riley, of Sr. Joseph, started
home in a sleeper. They had the
lower berth and the weather was
intensely hot. Dr. Knight was a
very small man ; in fact, a boy in
stature. Dr. Uilcy was big and fat.
Knight was given the inside of the
berth and went to sleep. Riley,
ith his load of avoirdupois, sat on
tho edge of tho berth and filmed
himself. At Herman a lady entered
the :ar and asked tor a lierth. She
was told that tho car was full, but
alio insisted, saying that she had sat
p with a sick daughter for five
nights, and had to have sleep. Slid
denly an idea struck Riley. 'Take
my berth,' 'ie 8(od- 'lhero is only
my little boy inside.' Knight was
sleeping peacefully and tho lady
gladly accepted Riley's offer. About
an hour later Knight awoke and
made a remark to whom ho sup
posed was Riley. 'Never mind,
tittle boy, said the old lady, sooth
ingly, 'pappy will lie back pretty
soon. A little later Knight aam
began to talk and the old lady again
attempted to lull him to sleep by
fromising pappy 'a early return,
iut the littledoctor this timeawoke.
The scene that followed it would
take some time- to relate."
In tho tobacco trust trial in New
York, Joseph II. Choate, one ot tho
lawyers for the tnut, asked one if
the talesmen : "What would y ou
do if at the end ol this trial you
found that eleven of the jurors are
of one mind and you of another
"I would sgreo with the eleven,"
was the reply. "Why so i" said
lawyer Choate. "liecanse I should
probably be in a hurry to get home,"
was the reply. "You are accept
ed," said Mr. Choate.
A lady, Mrs. Edith Le Pnrns, at
Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 13th,
ascended in a balloon in the pres
ence of 3,000 visitors to tho height
of about one halt a mile, when she
cut loose the parachute and was de
scending nicely, but the wind car
ried the frail craft toward the Ten
nessee iver into which she fell, and
bacoming entangled in the ropes
sank with the basket. A fisherman
goon brought her to the surface, and
effort were made to resuscitate her
but failed. This was on Sunday
afternoon.

pany now owns about 00 acres of
d, which consists of forest and
open fields. The latter have been
opened up by good roads, avenues,
and drive-ways. Large numbers of
trees have lieen planted, sprint's
walled and enclosed, a beautiful lake
constructed, and summer houses
built at many points In addition
to the keeper's nidence, a very
substantial brick museum has been
built, an oflice for the president, a
pavilion that will seat three thou
sand persons, and a lare house
where refreshments are served as
occasion demands.
Twelve monumen'8 have also
been erected costing many thousands
of dollars. Among the most noted
of these is the one in- memory of
William Uooper and John PeTin.
These gentlemen were delegates
from North Carolina, in 177b", to
the Continental Congress, and sign
ed the Declaration ot lndeci.dence,
'1 heir remains were rt-ititerred here
in 1S94. The monument is ot
granite, six feet square at the base
and ie surmounted with a statue ot
William Hooper, 7 feet in altitude.
Another notable one is thai which
was erected by the late Gov. Thos.
M. Holt, in memory ot the North
Carolina troos, which, led by Ma
jor Joseph Winston, fell in battle
near this spot, while fighting the
Hessians and Tarleton's cavalry, af
ter the Continental line had retreat
ed from tho field of battle, on March
15, 1 TS1. It is built of Mount Airy
granite which has become so well
known for its beauty and durability.
We find also a monument erect
ed by tho Maryland Historical So
ciety, through the influence of Prof.
Daves, a North Carolinian, in mem
ory of the Maryland trooa3 who fell
on this field. Still another one ot
prominent interest is that of Geu
eral Jethro Sumner, one ol the he
roes of 177o and the most accom
plished orator from North Carolina.
Hi remains were recently removed
from Warren county to Guiltord
Pattle Ground.
Here is also the tomb of Major
Daves, one of the well tried patri
ots ot the revolution, who departed
this lite ( let 2, 1S0-1, and whose re

According to the best authenti
cated records the battle of Guilford
Court IIoui-c was fought between
General Gnene and Ixiid Corn
wallie on March 15, 1751. Coru
walhs had au army consisting of
f.lXH) well drilled troopo, and
Greene about 0,000 mixed soldiers
and militia.
Gecrge Washington visited the
Guilford Cattle Field on Tuesday,
June 2nd, 1791.
The Pattle Ground Association
baa in it museum the best coiuc
tion of revolutionary autograpli
and relics to be found anywhere in
the South, and the battle field itself
is dertined to become the most no
ted place in North Carolina. It Is
to bi hoped that both our State and
National Government will join the

io their effort to tedeem this revo
lutiooary battle field from oblivion,
and to convert it into a Mecca of

Revolution! in America.
An English millionaire i travel

prophecy of impending disas'er for

things, that wo are on ' tho verge of
a tiemendous revolution. J hi is
imbecility. Tho people who think
any American city can everlo con
trolled by a communo or i in dan
irer of such mob law as has some
time prevailed in Fan aro idiotic.
They know nothing of America and

A Wit Suggestion.
Tho correct principle of govern
ment would seem to be to regulate
the expenditure by the revenue,
and when a general falling off in
values occurs, and the revenues of
tho Statu aro decreased, instead of
aggravating tho prevailing distress
by increased taxes, it would eem
wise to scale all expenditures to
meet tho deficiency. Put in doing
this all of tho institution of the
State should be treated alike. There
should bo no favorite in such a
matter, and all should have a share
in tho gifts ot the public.
Wiie Men Know
It is folly to build upon a poor
foundation, either in architecture or
in health. A foundation of sand is
insecure, and to deaden symptoms
by narcotics or nerve compounds is
Kjtially dangerous and deceptive.
The true way to build up health is

HOW TO riND OUT.
Fill a bottle r.r common wafer
glass with min and let it stand
twenty-four hours; a neudiment or
settling indicates a ilisohsed com
dition of the kidneys. When urino
stains linen it ia i-ositivc evidence of
kidney tionble. T"o freju-iit desire
to urinate or p:nn in tins luc k, is
also eonvincinir proi f that tho
kidneys and Madder arc out ol order.
WHAT TO I,
There is comfort in the knowledge
sooftcnexprcfMMtliat Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Poof, the great kidney
remedy fulfills every wish in reliev

ifsiiges. It correcs inability to
ioiu urine hii1 s.'hM.iii I'hiii in
issing it or bud t iKe! following
use of Honor, wine or bci r, and
overcomes that unpleasant iiK-csrity
of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the exti aordinary
effect of Swamp Uoot is soon realiz
ed. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the rii"st dis

WOT
LIKE
OTHERS
There is a difference Wtween medi
cines and medicines.
Those of to-ila.r.as a rule, differ from
those of the pai in manv respect.
Fully as prcat is tl.e ' uitTcre'ice. be
tween Dr. Kind's
ROYAL GERHETUER
and the ordinary medicines of to-day.
It is unlike tlicm in
THESE FIVE THINCS:
1. Itdocsnottastelikcaiiiodi-
Cine. It is as pleasant to Uke as
lemonade and makes a most refreshing
drink.
2. It never nauseates tho most
delicate str mach.
3. It doea-not swap off ono dis
ease for anot her. 1 1 does not set tip
one form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or
opium In aay form and ia always
harmless even when given to a babe
one day old.
ff.. It does not patch simply, it
cures. It reaches as notions' else
does to the hidden sources of disease
in the blood and removes the cause. It
does this with an ease and power that
have never been equaled.
