Anderson, on River street, was frightened almost out of his wits the other day. While he was engaged in retouching some of the interior work, a small snake crawled out of a pocket in his overal, across the hand that held the brush, and finally, in the excitement that fol lowed, wiggled through a crack and made good its escape. The incident occurred after noon hour. The night before Ellison had left his overalls in an outhouse, and the snake must have crawled into the pocket then to keep out of the cold. All day Mr.. Ellison worked with the reptile in his pocket, knowing nothing about its presence there.— Anderson (S. C.) Mail. It Saved His L«(. "All thought I'd lose my leg," writes J. A.

And among them was Miss Belle Hamrick, daughter of Mr. Kelly Hamrick, operated on for deft palate by Dr. Shoemaker last Satur day, September 10th. The opera tion was a marvelous success. The young lady is 18 years old and had never been able to speak any word distinctly. Soon after the operation and she had recovered from the anaesthetic, she called her brother’s name and quite distinctly for the first time in her life. THE OLD FOLKS. The deepest of human longings is just to be wanted. This is why the world so often seems a lonely and unattractive place to old people, and why they so often pray to leave it. One by one their friends depart; and although they may be very lovable, because of lack of opportunity old people do not make many new friends. One cannot know unless he has lived with one of them how much they appreciate being told that they are loved and how necessary it is to repeat the little kindness that it is in one’s power to confer on them. The constant repetition of little attentions counts more- to most old people than an isolated attention or gift that would to a younger person bulk very large. And this because the very aged person forgets from day to day and even from hour to hour what has been said and done for them. I know one old man who has four sons. One of these sons is a man whose hair is almost as white as his father’s, but for twenty years he has never missed a week in which he did not send his father a letter. Thr father, I believe, while he re tains a strong affection for all his sons, is particularly tender toward the son who remembers him in this simple fashion. Often the letter is not perhaps particularly interesting; often, indeed, it has to be hurriedly written. And no matter what comes or goes, the letter is always in the son’s thoughts that week. The other sons visit the father more fre quently, coming long distances to do so; but though their visits are enjoyed and appreciated, they are sooner or later forgotten, while the weekly letter is an oft-recurring source of satisfaction and pleasure. —Exchange.

The serious proposition of the Treasury Department to discontinue altogether the coinage of gold, is at tracting attention in financial cir cles. The proposition, as stated by The New Orleans Picayune, is that instead of coinage into money, the bullion will be merely made into bars of convenient size for shipment and of standard fineness and certi ficates will be issued by the govern ment against deposits of the bars as is now so generally done. The rea sons assigned for the proposed aban donment of gold coinage is that the coins are not circulated in the first place, and secondly, that when they are shipped or handled they lose in value by abrasion. The main use of gold nowadays is as security for currency and for shipment abroad in settlement of balances. Bars will serve these purposes better than coin, and as weight is the determin ing factor in any case, nothing is to be gained by the use of coin, where as on the other hand, there is sure to be some loss from coin abrasion to which bars properly packed for shipment are not exposed. The Picayune doubts whether the aban donment of gold coin would prove popular. Gold, it says, still circu lates in some parts of the country, and in most other countries gold coins are in general use and notes of small donominations are not em ployed. It would, therefore, be rather revolutionary for the United States to stop coining gold, even though at the moment but little gold coin circulates—Charlotte Chronicle. Whan Merit Wins.

Miller-White Co. Cornwallis Letters Found. Robert G., the 16-year-old son of R. P. McSwain, of Davie county, near Mocksville, while riding horse back, near Setzer’s Hill, found a sealed bottle. He broke the bottle and found that it contained two let ters written on January 13th, 1781. One of the letters was to Lord Corn wallis, who was then in command of the British forces, and the other to another dignitary. Robert sent the letters to a brother, who resides in Salisbury, and he in turn sent them to Washington. They were evident ly lost or hidden by a British cour ier, and were never found until they were discovered by McSwain. They are interesting relics of Revolution ary days and will no doubt bring to the finder, should he desire to dis pose of them, a handsome reward.
