SMITHFIELD, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 11, VOICE OF THE PRESS- The Silver Standard in Mexico. jThe Review of Reviews says: I "In allcaudor after some cxaini nation of the question on the grouud we ruuat confess our selves unable to see that Mexico ! is placed at any serious disad vantage by her continued adher ence to the single standard. It is true that the extremely high price of gold, a- measured in standard Alexican silver money, adds much to tne burden of the interest upon the foreign debt; but she is coming safely and sound ly out of her financial perplex! ties of a few years ago, and it would appear that she has never enjoved more prosperous times than during the past year." They Bi-ay but Won't Pull. Strong, the Republican Maytr of New York City, and his friends the "nonpartisan reformers,"! are giving the peopL of that city a great deal ot trouble, and the awrage voter, who supported them is now "sorry he did it." Tom Piatt says, "scratch a re former and you will find a liar."

Among the Armenians living in New York, there are some very sharp traders. In Asia Minor it is said that the Ameniansare the only race who are shaper than the Jews in a trade. Here is an old saying that is current there: i "If you bring twelve men togeth er, one ot them an Armenian and all the rest Jews, the Armenian will have all the money of the ' eleven Jews in his wallet before he parts from them, and not one of the Jews will have a piaster in his pouch." A New Y'ork Arme nian declares positively that this statement is not al ways true. STATE NEWS ITEMS. The equipment of theCaraleigh eo 'ton mills inci eased to 208 looms at d 7,50 sj i idles.
