Jou.n Nelson. International Free Coinage of tJotd and Silver. Editor .Toi knai. : Yre have been reading the discussions in Congress on the silver question with much interest from which we have concluded that the repeal of the purchasing clause ol the Sherman act is perhaps better than re main, ng niie. 1 ne question is wnai suan he ,lone attcrwards. We cannot stop there, 'there is not gold enough in tin; and other countries to make a universal goid standard possible. Nature's inex orable edict enforces bimetallism or tho silver standard on three-fourths of hu ll, aniy. It we must move. hy not move in t lie eli reel ions in which we ultimately must 'o '. We don't tliir.k that any thing will avail but an international agreement; so long as .r,ide continues to be world wide money exchanges will be the same. It is folly to talk about our financial in dependence. No nation can be tinan cially independent unless he refuses to traitewith others: All commercial na tions are interdependent. If different countries have iliifi-reat monetary stand ards, exchanges cannot be made without loss on lie one sid.e and gain on tUe o: her. In fea t' when two things are so inscpar ab.v linked together as trade and money it seems surprising that aDV one should think of regulating them separately. An international agreement ought not to lie eliiiicult to reach. In our rich markets we have an irresistible induce men;. Let us say to them, adopt free coinage of gold anil silver and you shall ha e access to our maikets. The Nation that stands in the way of an argreement on the money question commits a crime against humanity. There ought to be a law enacted, that any person holding gold or silver bullions shall be entitled to have them coined into standard dollars at the ratio of 10 to 1 can maintain that as well ns any other, and the standard dollar thus coined w hether of gold or silver shall be the unit of account and standard of value, and that tile dollar ol either metal shall be legal tender tor all debts public and private and thus establish a monev system of the world, and besides redeem the pledges of j the Democratic partv to reduce the tariff and to maintain the parity of gold and silver. Free coinage and tariff go hand and hand. The English bond holders will never give their consent merely to oblige us, t'or I they are making about 3 per cent out of I us at the pnsent arrangement. Thev i w ill come to terms oniv w hen the alter- i native is the loss of their tr.ule. T. C. I). ' Morehead City, N. C, Aug. 2:Jd, 181)3. Persistent Violations of Law.

I did the best I could under the circum stances, and there would be no cause for complaint if any poison who may feel aggrieved will write me lully on the sub ject. I know that there would have been no trouble anywhere had the usual ruhs of banking been in effect in Chicago; and the banks of this city are aware that I did all that could have been done to get currency by telegraph in time for my purpose, and I refer to the banks in our city and in New Berne in proof of this fact " As to how New Berne members of the party feel in re fen nee to the trip we will say that those with whom we have con versed on the subject do no e-rumblinf I whatever. Thev sav tiicv paid Mr. Ilar rell the price agreed upon and he carried out his part of the contract satisfactorily doing everything in his power to make the trip both while travelling and while at Chicago a most delightful one and scarcely had they reached home before some of them who had been obliged to pay out some of their own money as spoken of received from Mr. Ilarrell the sums due thi m. As so many members of the Teacher's party are strong and outspoken in their praises of Mr. Han-ell's true and faithful performance of every obligation it is hoped that he will vindicate himself fully in everything that has been said deroga tory to his character. The At antic Hotel Closes. The Morehead season ia over. The Atlantic Hotel closed Thursday and Mr. B. L. Perry, the proprietor passed through en route to Raleigh on business connected therewith. The season just closed ranks among the pleasantest in the history of the hotel. There have been more of our people there than ever before and many Irom' farther away, though distant visitors have not equalled in numbers the attendance of some former season; beyond doubt, the World's Fair turning many Northward had much to do with this. Mr. Perry, his estimable wife and all con nected with the hotel have vied with each other in making the stay of those who sojourned there during the summer, delightful and how well they succeeded is fully attested by the praises sounded by them from the first tlay the hotel opened till its close. The great success in this direction is a harbinger ot a bril liant season for 189-1. Death of an Excellent Young Man. Mr. B. L. Churchill, who for over five weeks has been down with Typhoid fever succumbed to the disease Thursday night at quarter past nine o'clock. lie was 20 years ot age and was one of our best young men, and had embarked in the hardware business a little over a vear ago, the firm being Disoswav & Churchill The new post-master at La Grange is Mr. K.

REST PROSPECT YET. The Bright Indications for Onr xt Fair and the Cironnds on Which They are Rased. Our Fair, lho Fir of Eastern North Ciirolina i now only six months off. We nr:! in i nioic favorable position fur making it a lirilliant suecss than we ! and tin- various kinds of Iruits have been i abundant and remarkably fine. This ives our ladies an opporlnni- latter fact rv oi makin" :i '.run a display as any one nted ever want to see of preserves. canned goods, dried fruit, etc., and those who have seen what they have done iu the past will have no fear but what thev will come up to the full measure of their duty in the matter. Again the building which has been going on without the slightest cessation in every part of the city throighout the year will serve as an incentive for those interested in working woods to show the handsomest specimens prepared in the most artistic styles. And lastly, we will simply mention that the finished construction of the WT. N. A N. It. R. through the fertile and produc tive counties of Jones and Onslow and the rich and populous one New Hanover will bring to the Fair a vast incresse of exhibits Irom all thos1- places bv rOason of the greater ease w ith w hich they can be gotten.here. And not only will this road bring an increase of exhibits, but as comparatively large an increase of attendance, both from the country along the line and from our sister city Wilmington which owing to the lack of direct transportation has not heretofore been so largely represented at these Fairs, by either exhibits or atten dance as we wished and as hor own peo ple desired. And it is not too much to expect that, close as Wilmington is to South Carolina that the new road will have among the crowds it will bring a fair proportion of visitors Irom that State. All these things point to the next ex hibition as the grandest Fair ever held in New Berne. Work for it with might and main and do not fail to attend with all your family when it comes oft". Exceedingly Pine Scholastic Work of a Former New Berne Girl. Mr. John Suterhag shown us a letter to a member of his family that tells of the remarkably fine achievements of Mie Daisy Williams, daughter ot our former townsman Mr. J. V. Williams, now pro prietor of the William's Ink Workj of Norfolk In October ot last year the Virginia State Board of Education issued a circu lar offering several prizes for the best essays on "The Life and Character of Christopher Columbus with Special Refer ence to the Discovery- :f America." The offer was open to all the public school scholars of the entire State and over 100 from every part of the State tried for it, the time of decision arriving Miss Da'sy was awarded the second prize, and a week afterwards she received it. It was a cash prize of $73 in gold. The competition was strong and Mies Daisy must have submitted a fine paper for one of her age between fifteen and sixteen. Miss Daisy also won two gold medals at the close of the school she attended. She was not absent a day and did not mis3 a word or question during the year. That entitled her to the scholarship med al. The other gold medal was won a spelling contest in which no pupil was entitled to enter who hail missed over two words during the year Miss Daisy as we just said had not missed at all. Twelve contestants entered, and one by one Miss Daisy spelleel them down, spell ing and defining every word that reached her. Her competitors were rivals worthy of her metal and her contest for this med al was a sharp one. The spelling began at 9 o'clock and continued without cessation until half past threes until Miss Daisy, who, of the entire number could not be spelled down, stood alone and re ceived the medal. These several successes following each other so closely are remarkable achieve ments for the young lady. She received congratulations in her native State and her friends in this her native State share in the pleasure of the honors she has w on. New Berne is Hard to Beat. Mr. J. W. Tinibei l ike who is ind b.n from Danville. Va., says New Berne is good enough for him. There is the cry ! of hanl times everywhere but New Berne is holding her own splendidly, in fact this is true of nearly every coast city. Some of our young men pull up to try elsewhere but about as olten return. If any one wants to strike a booming town and specnlatc iu the desire of mak ing money almost without effort New Berne is not the jdace, but if a young man wishes to get right down to sound business and build on a solid foundation hv rightly directed energies New Ber ne otters splendid opportunities. We nave numerous resources which are on the verge of great development and those who take advantage of them as they come along will reap aa abundant reward. Murder Will Out " J. W.

TERRIBLE STORM Scores of Seamen Perish Hundreds of Boats and Buildings Destroy ed by Wind and Waves. Wednesday's storm played havoc on the coast from Southern Virginia to Nova Scotia. Buildings were blown dow n. : ips partially destroyed, trees uprooie.l and rivers driven out of their ba iks The cyclone began as a breeze at II o'clock at night ar.d in ten minutes was going at the rate of forty miles an hour. The rain fall was the heaviest in years and by day the loss was enormous. Hundreds of small crafts weie destroy ed in bays and harbors. Vessels founder ed at sea and their crews perished. There were eighteen dead at South Hampton, twenty-five at Halifax, eigh teen at New York and many others elsewhere. The storm jdayed wi'duorks with frame hotels and rotlagis along the eoast. Many of them wen- partiallv or wholly wrecked. The loss to fruit growers and farmers is j heavy. The total loss is considered to run up I to several hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Encouraging Words. In our endeavor to work for the pros perity and upbuilding of New Berne nnd this section, it is natural for us to feel gratified that some of our citizens evince an appreciation ot t! e effort and express that the Journal has not labored in vain. Right reeently a number of our business men have spoken enc uraginglv as to what the Journal has done in that 1 m and its true loyalty to borne iinlusMiis and all classes of public entcrpri'-es where the people iu general are to b benefitted. It is easy enough for any paper to boom a place ana probably wink the scheme successfully for a considerable time, but unless there are sufficient grounds on which to base these strained claims, they are almost sure to re-act with serious injury. With all that we have said for this sec tion there are ample facts to back it up. Nature has blessed us with a ligh. quick producing 6oil that is being fast develop ed into profitable investments. Like most all othor ventures tin truck farm can break as well as make a farmer in a single season, but with the experience that most of our planters have had they have learned to avoid much of the risk that h;is previously so often proved hazardous. Again our fishing and lumber interests connected with the various public im provements that have been going on for the last few years are bound to tell. These steady onward moves are t he grounds on which our steady business is held up, and the Journal has endeavor ed to do its part in all possible ways as a stimulant tothe move. The Yellow Fever Scare South of Us. Surgeon General Wymarr, of the Marine Hospital Service, Washington, D. C, has ordered the Norwagian barque Hosten, which has had yellow fever aboard to proceed with as little delay as possible from the quarentine station at Southport to the National Quarantine Station at Sapclo, Ga. She was to have left yesterday morning. Wilmington is maintaining the quaran tine against Brunswick, Ga.. and other points of danger south of there with vigilance. The service has been strength ened by an additional inspector who was sent to Goldsboro Tuesday to inter cept persons coming Irom infected places by way of the Wilson Short Cut and the R. & D. R. R. The Star says that telegrams from Brunswick, Ga., say that people there are panic-stricken at the outbreak of yellow fever and hundreds are leaving the city by every traiu. Mayor Lamb issued ai proclamation advising citizens to leave the city and is issuing passes to all who are unable to pay t?Teir way. Business is generally suspended and most ot the stores are closed. Private advices are that the fever is spreading. Maj. W. L. Palmer, of tins ( ity h is been appointed a uotury public by the Governor. Very fine pears are now brought to market daily, though in limiteel i,UHiiti ties. They are bringing 50 cents per peck. This has been a remarkably fine season with us on watermelons and some good ones are still in market but they t lii soon be a thing of the past. The Norfolk Landmark referring to thirteen cotton mills being constructed iu North Carolina at present despite Ihe hard times well says rt is an excellent showing for the Old North State. Senator Voorhees made a speci k Tues day in advocacy of the bill to discontinue the purchase of silver. Pteffer and others have announced their intention to speak on the financial question. The silver de bate continues in the House also. Mr. Will Parsons has star ted a first class restaurant at the market w hart in oue of Messrs. Watson &. Dadiels' new buildings. He is tixeel up in fine shape although just started Wednesday He intends to furnish niea's in any part of" the city, and will also have line oysters in season. We see in exchanges that a eonfcence of the Epworth Leagues in North Caro lina is to be held iu Durham October 6th. 7th and 8th. Each league is requested to send two delegates. Homes and en-H tertainment will be provided for all delegates who send notice iu advance to Mr. J. H. Bacs. The Goldsboro Argus says: '"It is with exceeding regret that we chronicle the j death of Mr. Thos. R. Lee. one f Wayne county's most substantial citizens, which sad event occurred at tour o'i lock Mon day morning, after a lingering illness at 1 his ho-ne in Mt. Olive. He was a brave j Confederate soldier, und carried through ! all the intervening years from the field of battle a painful wound through the ' lung, that has at last ended in the sleep that knows no waking. Catting off a rooster's spars will generally take a good deal of wind out of his crow. A MOXSTER RATTLESNAKE. Killed on the Line of tho Sew Railroad Exhibited in Wilmington Poisoned by His Dead Body. We learn from the Wilmington pancrg that an eight foot rattlesnake, one of the largest that was ever heard of was shot and killed in Pender -oirnty near the W. N. & N. R. R. by Mr. J. E. P.i.lson. The snake's head was four inches from eye to eye and his fangs showed over an inch iu length. ,:. The head and rattl s were cut off and the trunk, which then measured seven feel ill length and eleven inches around was displayed in a Wilmington store for exhibition.
