We have carefully read Senator

also Master of the State Grange.
He has given all economic

and the gold bugs oppose it. They
know the scarcer the money is the
more power it possesses. They know
when is scarce, all things else
are low in price.
Smith, Hume,
all and every writer on
economy say that scarce and tight
money makes land cheap, and when
the price of land is low all things are
depressed. Silver was demonetized
in 1873. It was done by John Sher-
man, and passed through Congress
without hardly anyone knowing its
import. It is said the hill was not
even read. It is reported that Gen-
Grant said afterwards that if he
had known the contents of the bill
he would never signed it. It

there is not a civilized
try on the globe that undertakes to
do an entire business on gold and
silver. Every nation confesses that
there is not enough of the precious
metals; so paper money is resorted
to as a flexible medium. The gov-
should issue legal tender
notes, to the amount at least to
per capita. Now it is calculated not

those who oppose this method of
inflation what will be gained if all
the silver is to be coined free and
the amount to be without limit.
Mr. Williams ably shows that
when you make any article scarce
yon make the price high. If
is scarce its is high. The
object to be gained by the
limited coinage of silver is to in-
crease the volume of currency.
That the volume is too small can
not be questioned by those who
have given the financial States of
the country proper study.

that the government issue legal

AND EGGS.

Poultry Is not classed
among I he of this conn-
for there are very few who give
special interest to it, and yet
as it is generally supposed
to be the sales of poultry
and eggs amount annually to about
addition to which
millions of eggs are annually in-
ported Europe, There are
who wouldn't think of
lug for market or of
eggs to market because they
it looks s jail. There are also
thousands of farmers. North and
South, i although they ate not
too proud to sell and eggs
never do sell them because they
have never attached any import a
to them as sources of income. They
raise enough for their own
all. We have known in
this State to kill their chickens be
cause i hey scratched up some of
their grain.
There are some poultry farms m
this country, a few, where the at-
of the proprietor- is given
to the raising or fowls and eggs for
market, and the surprising thing
about it is that there are not more
of them, and that the poultry and
egg buyers of the country have to
upon what is simply picked
up upon the farms.
There is no industry in this conn
try which yields as much money in
proportion to the capital invested.
It would not be an exaggeration to
say that at least eighty per cent, of
the received for poultry
eggs is clear profit, the fowls
feeding themselves from pickings
around the farm, which would other-
wise go to waste.
In the South the chicken is a
much more common article of food
than in the North, the per capita
consumption being at least twice as
great, which may be accounted
by the that raising chickens
gives but little trouble here, the
mate being so mild that there is j
danger of their being to
death In the winter if net well
housed, M danger of their
starving to death If not led by
hand. For tin reason the raising
of poultry is not attended the
South by the same risks and losses
which it is in the No-th, this
reason it would be morn profitable
and should receive more attention.
It may seem an incredible state-
that them are not poultry nor
eggs enough sent to market in
North Carolina to meet the home
demand, while all the larger
towns on the railroads they always
command a fair price and some-
times a very high price. this
city half grown seldom sell
tor less than twenty-five cents by
and eggs seldom less than
fifteen cents a dozen. At prices
like these are fortunes in
chicken farms to men who will
devote their attention to them,
and study the chicken so as to
be able to prevent or care the
diseases that sometime attack
and carry them This is most
serious drawback to
this as a special industry, for chick-
en cholera and other fatal diseases
sometimes sweep them off by the
it red. The cause of this we don't
know but investigation would prob-
ably show that it will be found
in the food they pick up, the
drink or in the ill
houses they roost in. The North-
chicken raiser has the same
to contend against. But
this does not occur often enough to
be an insurmountable obstacle to
success the business.
There may not be, in the language
of Col. Sellers, but
there is handsomely paying money
more in proportion to the laud,
capital and labor required than in
anything the Southern farmer can
engage in, and it it a business, too,
which he can increase as be desires,
without additional expense.
There is no danger of overstocking
the market, for there is no day that
chickens suitable for the table will

The medical fraternity are very
much interested in the recovery of
Eddie the fifteen-year old son
of Col. A. E. secretary of the
Exchange, who accidental-

last while out hunting in the
Catskills. The boy hail tried to

Female School.
We hear that there is a very strong
sentiment among some of our
citizens to establish a
female school here. It is also being
stated publicly upon the by
reliable authority that such a school
has already determined upon
and will be opened under the charge
of a highly accomplished and
competent lady not later than
August 31st. Those interested in
the enterprise can confidently rely
upon its accomplishment. This
male school seems necessary from the
that there tire in the
community who will not send their
laughters to a mixed school, and it
must be established to give them ad-
vantages at home or they must he
sent elsewhere to build up schools
of other town-. Prof. John I,
late principal of Greenville Institute,
recognized the growing sentiment
here for such a school and changed
his accordingly the last session he
taught here. The success with which
he met showed the wisdom of such a
change. The Reflector believes
there is ample material in Greenville
and the country adjacent to sustain
separate schools both for males
females as well as mixed schools, and
would rejoice if such schools were es-
here as would render it no
longer necessary lo send a boy or
outside of-the county to get their ed-
wish nil educational
enterprises of every unbounded
success.

The Standard
When the London apprentice laughs
at tho of North Briton,
and when the is de-
pressed by the language of cultured
Americans, there is to be discovered
behind the laugh and the scoff an as-
that any departure from the
usage which obtains in London is most
deplorable. The laugh and the scoff
are the outward and visible signs of an
inward and spiritual belief that the
Londoner is the sole guardian and
tee of the English language. But this
Is a belief for which there is no
whatever.
Tho English language is not bank-
that it needs to have a receiver j
appointed; it is quite capable of mind- j
tag its own business without the care of
a committee of Englishmen. If indeed
a guardian were necessary, what Eng-
would it be who would best
preserve our pure
herd of or the miner of North-
the Yorkshire man or the
cockney If it is not the London j
who is to set the standard, but
the Englishman of breeding, it is hard i
to discover the ground whereon this j
