TEUMS 07 SUBSCRIPTION-. MARCELLUS E. THORNTON, KDITOR, One Year Six Month . Three Month MAKE THE BEST OF IT. This country is already forced to a old (single,) standard, to all intents and purposes and is prac tically conducting all its large transactions on that basis. No sort of bond or interest bearing certificate of indebtedness can bt floated, thatas, sold, in the market, unless it provides on its face that the interest and principal ar payable in gold. The bonds of towns, cities, railroads and nl corporations must state on their face that the interest aud princi pal are payable in gold; else to try and sell them in New York or elswhere would be like whistling jigs for mile stones to dance by. No bond payable "in currency" or even "in United States mony" can be sold even at a discount. Whereas 'gold" bonds of any solvent good standing corpora tion do sell at a premium. Then is no method by which a capita list can be forced to buy a bond he does not wan4;. They do not ; wtmt any thing but "gold" bonds. Now, the United States wants to borrow some "gold," and the only way to get the gold is for it to agree in writing through an act Of congress that it will pay back gold for the gold. That is all there is ftrtbe question before congress about authorizing the issue of S per cent interest "gold" bonds to replemish the depleted "gold reserve" and saving several million dollars in interest instead of issuing imder existing law 4 per cent interest "coin" bonds. If a farmer loans his neighbor $20,00 in gold he has the right to say that it shall be repaid to him "in gold," else, and if he did not get the promise, ho would not loan the gold. Therefore. Congress should pass at once a measure authoriz ing a 3 per cent "gold" bond. That would not stultify any other obligation whatever; or place oth er previous contracts, i e, bond -issues, on a parity. While on this subject, we may state: It will be remembered by our thoughtful readers that some weeks ago we stated that inas much as it seems inevitable and irretreivablethat theUnited States has passed the Rubicon into the single "gold standard" this gov ernment should take the fore front .as a "gold standard" coun try and demand gold, gold! for every thing. We now say to the farmers of this country, let them . demand gold for everything they sell. ( It will drain Eugland of gold if the farmers of the South will de mand gold and nothing else but gold for their cotton and other farm products. The people of the South do not need to and in fact do not purchase very much En glish goods, and therefore there will bo no balance of trade against the South. What wo want is gold! gold for cotton when it is down to gold prices. So let us have the single gold standard, sound money; as they call it, and wo of the South will make the best of it and get the best end of the bargain. The on ly question will be how long will it be before old mother England will be yelling and wailing for a "double" standard? But wo will not have it. None of it. Out with it. , ' .

It could not happened any where else We are advised through tele graphic report to the Knoxville Tribute, that the peoplo of Atlan ta, Gk., some considerable por tion of tho-. of the surrouudiug outlying country and towns ex perienced a sensation to their nerve- and visionary organs the other night. A meteor or its cous in shot or was fired "athwart the horizon" overhead from South east to Noith west and was ex tremely brilliant; shedding a bright light as of the sun, and producing a hissing sound. Peo ple were awakened from sleep and those who were awake and saw the phenomena were amazd and. thrilled with the awful grandeur It lasted nearly three minutes and traveled at the rate of ninety miles a minute. A policeman, Mr. Holt, who "was awake on his beat" we are in formed saw it. It was well that he was "awake" and "on bis beat." Otherwiso it could not have been reported by telegraph that he "saw it." Had he' been "ofl" his "beat," or asleep he doubtless could not have had his name thus blazoned before the yawping world. It is a good thing. there was one policeman in Atlanta, who was "awake" and "on his beat." Again: Wo learafrorn a Press dispatch a day later, (showing amended returns) that Mr. Joel Chandler Harris who must have been out at night saw it. The great ball of fire, as big as two suns, is first reported from Talla poosa. Showing that it did not originate at McPherson Barrcks and the last heard of it the thing ''busted," with a loud report some where up in the woods near Gains ville, Ga.- Good place to bust, as many people know. It is said that enterprising searchers found a pieccrof it the day afterwards. It might liave been hot still. Any way, the who)et thing serves as a good invitation to come to the cotton States and In ternational Exposition at Atlanta, bsrgining next September. You can see any kind of meteor you want Our old sehool mate the President of the Exposition, Hon; Chas. A. Oallier) knows just ex actly how to get them up to the Queens taste, day or night. At lanta is nothing if not having her share of the fun all the time. The Legislature has no right to say to whom auy person or corporation or railroad shall ex tend its courtesies; particularly when the same is in quid proquo except as to itself or other State or public officials when the nature of the courtesey bears on its face evidence of a corrupting influence. The legislature can say and enact that the railroads shall not srive free passess to its own members, or to any State official but it can not constitutionally or legally s.-y they shnll not give free passes, especially in exchango for a bona fide quid proquo, to whomsoever they please. The dry rot of. rot tenness in legislators in trying to legislate about railroads not giv ing passes to whomsoever they please outside of public officials shows a desire on their part to acquire cash in lieu of free passes. Germany is now in the throes of financial legislation, worse even than tho United States. A majority of the Reichstag is in favor of a bimetalic standard. That is gold and silver. A bill for an international commission on tho subject is now before that body. It may pass any day. The other Nations are ready for it. So are we. - v , . . .. The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of German Valley, N. J., is well worth reuiembering. He was troubled with chronic diarrhea and doctored for rite months and was treated by four diilerent doctors without benefit. He then began using Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kerned y, of which one small bottle effected a com plete cure.

This sort of thing occurs once in about every 16 years, and when snow does come there, the boys the gamin, the old folks and others take up on themselves that it is the oppor tune time to uel even with the street car drivers, or that more modern innovation, the electric car motorman. Tho people stand upon the street corners and along the streets and on tops of the houses and fling and hurl anow balls at tho half frozen poor dri vers and mmotormen. All New Orleans turns out to snow balling when they do have a snow. Only a few weeks ago tho peo ple of the South, those of Georgia and Alabama notably, sent a train load of provisions to tho food stricken people of Nebraska. Only last week Populist, Allen, a United State Senator from Nebraska, to which State the pro visions were sent, occupied a large portion of the time of two days sessions of the U. S. Senate in abusing and misrepresenting the peoplo of the South, especial ly those of Alabama. O! Faith where is thy cure? Ingratitude!' Where is thy friend. Every bodjr in the legislature down at Baligh are making "at tacks" and "reflections" on each other "Hit seems to have got into a habit with them!," said a friend in our offiec yesterday. "One side tacks totherand then totber side tacks back; and then they all get to explainin." Jesso. . Oil and water will not mix with out enough ugar to absorb them both. The interests, personal and otherwise, of those people are too greatly divergent for them to meet and stand on common ground for the greatest good of the greatest number. The whole country including all the school children in the United States celebrated Feb. 18th the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Peabody tho greatest human benefactor of this or any other age. Now Is the Time. The benefit to bo derived from a good medicine in early spring is un doubted, but many people neglect taking any until the approach of warmer weather, when they wilt like a tender llower in a hot sun. Some thing must be done to purify, the blood, overcome than tired "feeling and give necessary strength. Vaca tion is earnestly longed for, but many weeks, perhaps months, must elapse before rest can be indulged in. To impart strength, and to give a feeling of health and vigor throughout the svstem, there is nothing equal to liood's Sarsaparilla. It seems per fectly adapted to overaome that pros tration caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the system it purifies and re novates the blood. 7-4t Perapatetic Mr. John N. Bohan non was last heard from by ns from the Phoenix Hotel in Lexing ton, Ky., where he was firing Wattersonian gold standard at us like brick-bats from a falling wall in solid hunks. 1 mmM am 9 H ' ' IXTKRPRKTATIOX OK DISMAYS.

What a funny little thing this Congress is, anyway." Hoke Smith is in the Cabinet. Beyond question the paper he estab lished is ably conducted in his ab sence, but if he were at home, manag ing the Journal, he would not speak of Congres a? "a funny little thing." As it i, he sees nothing funny in the dismal condition of our National Leg islature, j Thes-e little fights" that are desig nated as "the funnist things in mod ern comedy" are disgraceful, raid seems'funny only to those who care nothing for national honor or se!f respect. Breckenridge and lleard, squaring themselves in the House like Sullivan and Corbett in the prize ring, is a scene to mantle with blushes the cheeks of order-loving Americans. Newborn Journal. - Sorry VV Have Not Space. Calhoun, La, Fi:n. 13, 0o. , Col. M. fj; TnoRNTON, Kd. Press and Carolinian; Dear Sir: I herewith hand you a letter I clipped from the Baton Ilouge Truth, which I wish you to insert in your columns for the benefit of your readers. Mrs. Addie McGrath Lee is the wife of Maj. J. G. Lee, assistant director of North ' Louisiana Experi ment Station, which is located near this place. Yours truly, A. W. Marshall. The article is too lonj for us to pub lish. However, it is very interesting. Ed. P. & C. Republicans Score Buttler. Several Republicans resented at tacks made Ly Marion Butler's paper. The Caucasian, charging them with trying to smother the 6 per cent, in terest bill. They made some severe remarks about Butler and his pres sure upon the Legislature, and they became even more exited when a Pop ulist said if the 6 per cent, bill was not passed the Populists would, no longer vote with' the Republicans, and that no more important bills would be passed. The foregoing is taken from the Richmond Times of 15th. The Snow Oencral. For the first time in tho history of the United States the whole country, every State in the United States, had snow in its borders last week. It is a remarkable event and more or less cal culated to inspire the people with some idea of the vastness, the "bigness", as it were, of this great country and how progressive it is when it wants to be that way. A revolution by telephone seems to be one of the near possibilities. The Duke of Orleans, who held himseir in readiness at Dover during France's recent Presidential and cabinet crisis, hired the exclusive use of the tele phone between England and Paris for twenty-four hours. CATAWBA RIVER FARM BLUE 4 5 The magnificent farm on Catawba river above Bridgewater, known as the Hyatt farm, containing over 800 acre part of it finely timbered, with good houses, etc, is offered for sale. As I have at last decided to sell, a bargain may be obtained if application is made at an early date. I need some money but if I have to raise it in some other way the farm may not again be offered for sale in some years. Address Mrs. E. C. Thornton, tf Hickory, N C.

Whea diseased the vessels lose l heir elasticity and become clogged up nith ttngnaja blood. This disease is ktmtvu chron ic catarrh. Almost every body h af. fected more or less with it. The delicate membranes are so exposed to sudden changes of climate that fet people indeed escape wholly. Catarrh may be located in the -e, nose, throat, ears, bronchial tubr, latin stomach, kidneys, bladder, ..r jIric organs. Wherever it i.- W:... d it will produce yiiiptoni8 perul..- to tht place.

This is exactly what Pe-ru-na will do, it removes tbi cause of catarrh by restorm tht strength of these vesx;ls. 1'e-ru-u never fails when used faithfully. Et cry winter adds thousands to the list of victims of chronic catarrh.
