Death oT itH4 Sal lit Dover.
Miss Sallie Dover, who lived
near Greenlee, had been visiting
frisnds in Mitchell county for
about a month, and starttd for
McDow ell county on Monday morn
ing. About noon of that day she
became so sick from riding she
stopped at Mr. Van Lackey's,
seven miles from town. Monday
night she became speechless and
died at 6 p. m. Tuesday. She had
apparently been very strong, and,
dying so quickly, her friends de
sired that a post mortem examina
tion be held. Dr. G. P. Reid and
Dr. 13. A. Cheek held the examina
eion. The following were sum
moned on the jury of inquest:
Messrs. J. G. Nichols. T. H. Ray,
T. J. Flemming, Amos llensley,
Irvin Patton, and Henry Gibson.
After a thorough examination by
the physicians the substance ot
the finding of the inquest was that
the deceased came to her death
by natural causes, mainly, it is
supposed, from a disease of the
heart.
Miss Dover was about 28 years
of age, and had been for years a
member of the church. Many
gathered at the burying in the
graveyard near Mr. J. M. Mash
burn's, where the remains were
laid to rest.

WHY TIMES ARE HARD.
CHAPTER III.
Gold and Sliver as Metalic Money.
To say that gold or silver or
paper as metalic enbstances Las
any more influence on oar nione
tary or financial system than the
same commeicial value in wheat or
iron or stone coal, would be ridic
ulous, and there is not a miller nor
blacksmith nor coal digger who
does not know this. Yet every
body knows that gold, silver and
paper, as money, have a tremend
ous iufluence on our financial sys
tem. (Jod cieated gold and silvei.
but He did not create money.
Man formulated that element. Il
the acts ot man's legislation in all
countries causing money to be
stamped was repealed aud all ti e
stamps destroyed there would be
no metalic money. There would be
just as much gold and silver, yet
it would not ho money. So then
money is au element of man's pro
duction, its power originated with
him and so he of right should con
trol the money element for his
benefit. The people of the United
States being sovereign, the Con
stitution says that Congress "shall
coin money and regulate the value
thereof," that is originate it and
regulate its value, power and
usefulness for the be ne tit of the
people. The franiersof that instm
ment never emei tained that only
a part of the people should control
the coinage and legulate money
for their special usefulness, yet
that is precisely what has been
going on for many years past.
Cold and silver money has two
values a maiket or commercial
value, and the value imparted to it
by being stamped as money by
Congress. Some have said that
gold and silver had intrinsic value,
but that idea is exploded because
intrinsic means inherent, self-exist-ant
aud unchangeable, whereas
value is always relative and
changeable for instance, wheat,
80 cents yesterday, "JU cents today,
and 1.()U tomorrow. The natural
law of supply and demand 'makes
this value.
The coinmeicial value of gold
and silver does not control the
value of of her things nor interfere
with man's "life, libeity or pursuit
of happiness." Jts commercial
value is entirely innocent of mak
ing hard times, as much so as the
substances coal, iron or lead. Put
gold and silver exert an influence
in making hard times by being
stamped as money and imparting
to them power over other m tals
and substances. These proposi
tions are now accepted by the
highest authorities.
If, as we see, the power for good
or evil exists in the law which
places the money print 011 the
metal and not in the metal itseit,
then it follows iu reason that it is
not necessary to discard either one
or both metals from use as money
in order to get rid of any evil they
exert, but apply our genius to the
law iu which the evil exists and
readjust and regulate the law so
that good only shall result from
the use of gold and silver as money.
The use of gold and silver as
metalic money should be retained
111 the United States, in a inly
because they are used In all othei
great commercial uatious, having
been so used for ages, and because
their intiinsic properties and qu in
tity of both metals lender them
a most convenient commercial
medium of exchange between pro
ducts and property.
In the next chapter I will begin
the investigation of the money
laws of our country.

QKC- "'- of the lievenue Act of is
iO as follows:
'That it shall be and it is hereby
tnaiie the duty of the sheriir of each
county in the State to make diligent
inquiry and report to the judge at each
term of the criminal court liehi in the
county following the time when the
license tax and taxes provided for in
schedules A, B and C of this aet should
have been paid as to whether or not
such license taxes and other taxes have
tieen pitid by all persons or corporations
liahlo lor th.- same, and to make out a
list of all delinquents. Aud it shall be
made the duty of the judge to submit
the list of the delinquents to the solic
itor to the end that such delinquents
may be prosecuted for such defalcation
in the manner jirovided in the next sec
tion of this aek. :'
It will be a painful and disagreeable
duty to comply with this law, as it is
clear from its provisions that all I er
soiis w h') owe any tax h never are
required to be reported by me. fc'chtai
ule A is tite provision for property and
pell tax, schedule li for license tax,
etc , and schedule C for railroads, tc.
As this law is entirely new, being for
the first time passed by the Legislature
of lti'JT, I give below, for the informa
tion of the public, the penalty imposed
by law for failure to pay taxes.
Sec. oi of the Ueveuue Act of lUT is
as follows:
"That such person or corporations
who are liable to pay the license tax oi
taxes provided for in schedules A, li
and C of this Act aud the Machinery
Act, and shall fail to pay the s.uii.- as
provided by luw. .shall be gu:lly of a
mii-'den.eanor, and put-i.-dicd by a line
not exceeding live hundred dollar.-: or
imprisoned not exceeding six muiulis;
aud the sli,-l ill shall be allowed iy the
judge such eon. pen-alien for making
sueli report as lie may il-.-mi jut and
proper, to be paid by tile county.1'
While I feel like it will be a great
surprise and a great hards. up to indict
some of the citizens of MclJowell comity
j for failure to pay their taxes, where
they are really unable to piy. still the
law is explicit and I cannot do less, as
a faithful officer, than to comply w ith
its plain provisions. All persousowing
me taxes ana who do not settle will be
reported to the judge at the coming
term of the criminal court, ami
from the above quoted provisions of
the law, it w ill be seen what the result
must be. K. L. NICHOLS,
Sheriff of McDowell County.
