'I do not," he says, "view the situation as a parUsan, but think no w as J did before this admlnlatratdon v was inaugurated, that the evil must be corrected by the divorce of-the government from the banking ' buamees, and the reformation of the policy established by the law of 1678, by which the government was Compelled to keep a pile of gold from which everybody was invited who had greenbacks or Treasury notes' to help himself. The Sherman redemption aot was no redemption at all. ; While it pro vided for the redemption of the greenbacKa, it compelled their ; te issue, thus putting tit operation the endless ohain, as it has been called. 1 Until thia is oppressed there can be no permanent relief. The green backs have got to be redeemed. It has been apparent for years, but unwise legislation was leading np to it, and It has got to be wiped, Out from tha tatute book to put the treasury on a sound basis." : Asked whether he thought the eoming Congress would give the relief desired, Senator Gray replied: MJt would be a' crime to qoeetion the integrity of the re- pubio.,t,,:"k:;;u.iNt;;;-cif.

HIS REASONS THE11EF0R Would Simply Divide up thr Present Splendid Byatear-"A Patch Work Bystem." The matter ef' Holding an election for road Improvement in Wake county will soon be at hand. Very little bas been said in regard to the law which if carried would increase the burden of every tax payer in the county. As yet not an expression of opin ion has been obtained from a compe tent authority on the subject or from any other authority for that matter. We had a talk this morning with Mr. W. C. MoMackln, the able, practical and successful Supervisor of Roads for Wake oounty. No man in tbe oounty bas had as much experience in road building as he and his woids will no doubt carry a great deal of weight Mr. MoMackln is heartily in favor of road improvements and there u no man who takes more interest in them than he, but he is opposed 10 the act passed by the last legislature, wbioh will be voted upon in Novem ber. In talking with a I'rkss-Visitor reporter Mr. McMackin stated bin reasons, in opposition to the measure. In the first place," said our effi oient rod supervisor, 'the new acts! does not do away with the Raleigh Township Road Law, but will im pose a double road tax on all the people in Raleigh township and the recent extension. Again, if It is adopted there will be a clamor from each of the eighteen townships for the convicts (ss they have a right to do) and they will be taken from place to place, with no quarters for their comfort and safety, causing sickness from exposure and man; unavoidable escapes. When sick they will suffer for medical atten tion; and as to work, you will not see any benefit derived from their labor patching about here and there in the old way, a Bystem worthless in (the extreme." Mr. MoMaokin thinks that we have an ideal system in thj town ship and he says it cannot be im proved upon, , Touching upon some future legis lation, he suggested that the last legislature made an extension of one mile in each direction, which is now being graded and permanently im proved; and by the next legislature they can make an extension ot two miles each way, which can be easily worked in two years, as the present extension of one mile in the same time, for the reason that the exten sion will reach plentv of material, and the construction will not have to be so wide, "for the .reason that the roads fork in all directions and are not traveled so much. Every road that is being built out from tbe city ia the farmers'- road, for it ia the road he has to' travel to his only market' - The farmers haul the loads over these roads, and not tbe oity people There is not a business man in the oity that uses these roads for heavy traffic if they ever pass over them it is with a light vehicle, therefore they are being built for the country people, and they art) their roads and do not benefit the, city people for traffic v 1-5:'' : - Mr. MoMaokin thinks that Repre sentatives Bagwell's and Young's ideas on road improvement were certainly good. Said he 1 It was a thoughtful and wise movement 61 our representatives, Mr. Bagwell, tbe fatherot the ex tension, and Jim Young the hearty endorser, to so frame a law that would benefit their people as this extension does; and I have no doubt their idea was tolagain extend 1, S or 3 miles at the next legislature. . Ex tensions like this will very soon give you good permanent roads through the whole oounty; and then tbe per manent roads will be 'continuous and not catened here and there. : Raleigh township is well" equlped for road building, owning every 1m proved. machine and implement, and at every extension tbe parties in said extension paying a road tax become 00-partners in the ownership of the nlant said Mr. MoMackln. The Eastern States have adopted thia plan and It worka well and sans factory, "r'"1 . ' f v ?-: , Virginia is doing likewise, Meek. I lenburg ccunty is doing the same 1 and has been for fourteen years to tbe delight of tbe entire oounty. It is a fact that convicts must be taken care of and treated as human beings. To this you must have quar ters fixed for the purpose and under the direction of tbe doctor in charge as to sanitary arrangement, hospital for the sick, and at a place that he can attend them daily. Judge Spier Whitaker while great believer in road improvements, is opposed to tbe present act for the same reason that Mr. MoMackin is, Other expressions of opinion of citizens will follow in these columns. 1 - , CROP CONDITIONS. Cotton Doing Well Tobacco Curing Better Than Usual. The reports of correspond cuts of the Weekly Weather Crop Ballrtiu, loaned by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the week ending Saturday, September 14, 1895, indicate s favor able week in most FexpKctfi. The weather hs been unimanlly warm for tbe season, the temperature averaging over five degrees per (lav above tbe normal. Tbe precipitation was much less than the average amount, except near the immediate coast. A few heavy rains occurred in two or three eastern countiee. Beneficial local showers occurred 00 three days. The amount of suDxhine was abundant. These conditions were favorable for savin? fodder and late hay, and for cotton, which is opening well. Tobacco-curing is linished in the east. The weather has been too dry for fall crops and fur fal! pWwiug. Some winter oats have been sown. Both early and late corn are safe. Central District. A very dry, warm week in the central portion of the State, vuth some very beneficial local showers on the 8th, 9th and 10th. The prevailing dryness is beginning to cause a little hring on corn and to baooo. The week was otherwise very favorable. Fodder-pulling is well ad vanced and pea-vine hay will be fine. Late oorn and turnips are suffering for rain. Cotton is opening well; picking till limited to south portion. Host correspondents report tobacco cures better than usual. Many farmers wi,l finish curing next week. Some winter oats have been sown. Very ittle fall plowing as done this week on ac count of dryness. The Living Monument. The young ladies who gave the beautiful entertainment. "The Liv ing Monument" last week will re peat It tonight at Edenton Street Sunday School Itoom and the publio is cordially invited to attend. It u hoped that there will be a large orowd to Injoy the entertainment itnd to help the little ladies in their laudable work. No admission fee will be charged, but it is hoped that ill will go prepared to make a con cribution. Thiti Was an I -ti-late Wedding. T. P. Devereaux, Ksq., was telling today of a remarkable weddfng of which be read in a Northern law jour nal. At Qouverneur, New York, two lawyers were joined in wedlock. This is worthy in itself of mention, as wo man lswyers are usually women batchelor," also. But what makes the reported wed ding "new" in every respect is the fact that a woman preacher performed tbe ceremony. No bloomers were mentioned, but were doubtless in evidence. Dedication.. Yesterday evening at 5 o'clock the little ladies com posing that band of Christian workers known aa the Shining Stars dedicated a room which Ithrough their energies they have fitted up for tbe care and com fort of sick and suffering children. rne room is known and was dedi cated as the Louise White Memorial Room, and ia situated in-the build log 00 the corner of East Davie and South Person streets. Rev. J. N. Cole dedicated the room, the lit tie ladies ef tbe Shining Scar attend ing in full force. A large num ber of ladles and gentlemen attended the services. Tbe room is carpeted and wisely furnished and not one oent is owing for tbe out fit These little workers deserve the highest praise. To Collect Subscriptions For the r . " Press Visitor. : Br. B.

FACTORIAL BLOOD HOT, Dr. Payne on a Fair War to Get Up Another Difficulty. There is some talk In reference to bad blood that exists ia Lexington. The Mascot says: 'fThe defendanU, Baxter Shemwell and Dr. Lee Payne, appeared last week at Davidson court aad submitted for an affray with deadly weapons. This was the shooting affair la the morning, and for which they were bound over to eoart jest before the killing. The judgment in the ease waa suspended oa tha payment of tha cost, tha Judge remarking that tha whole ease "has 'bee Investigated fully and Shemwell acquitted aad that Payne has suffered in tha loss of his father, therefore he would suspend judgment. The'eost in the Shemwell murder trial will hardly be less than $3,000. The Connty Commissioners have refused to pay It, aad have em ployed Lee S. Overman, of Salisbury, 10 resist its being adjudged against the county. The feud between the Shemwell and Payne faetlone has not subsided. Dr. Lee Payne, it is said, has asked the foremaa of the jury twice which trTed Shemweil, how much money he got for rendering his ver dict. This sets the factorial hot blood going, and the end of the Shemwell oass is not yet. There is also talk of damage suit by the jury agalnet Payne for this talk." The Bad Boy Friday Might. The attraction at the Academy thie eek will be the well-known faree- oomedy, Peek's Bad Boy, as presented by the Atkinson comedy company. Although the title Is old, so much of the play has been changed that only the frame work remains embellished with all that is new, oatchy and pleas ing in the way of mueic, songs and dances. Every member of the entire Company is a specialty artist, and they iatroduoe sengs, duets and witticisms galore, so that aside from the interest one always feels in tha typical Ameri can boy, there is much that is most pleasing to, the eye and ear.
