TRAVELERST TALES,
Have you a home ?
A dear precious spot,
Be it a polace,
Or be it a cot?
Have you a home
Where your darhng ones dwell
Safe from all danger ?
Ob? treasure it well.
Have you a home
Where the hearth is aglow,
Throwing its rediance
Above and below?
A home where your welc me
1s honest and true ¢
Where tie eyes of affection
Are watching for you ?
Have you a home
Where your tived feet may rest ;
A spot where you sleep
The sweet sleep of the blest ?
Treasure it, friend,
Though afar you may rvam,
For you'll find in your journeyings
oNo place like home.�

Barn Burned.
A little before going to press this af.
ternoon, Hal Sugg phoned us that a
tobacco barn on O. L. JoynerTs place,
two-and-a-half miles from town had
just. béen destroyed by fire.
oHighest Price.
Today Miss Annie Potter, of Greene
county, had some tobacco sold at the
PlanterTs Warehouse and averaged $20,
The lowest lot Lrought $14.50 and the
highest $29. ~This lattee price was the
highest figuee -hat has been reached on
the market this season. E. B. Ficklen
bought it. ,
Time For Them to Hush.
We understand that there are still a
1ew people who think that the tobacco
market is no benefit to (zreenville.
Well, some folks have a mighty loose
way of doing their thinking and love
t» hanz on to old fogyish ideas.
Still Climbing Up.
Tobacco receipts keep going right on
up the ladder, higher and higher all
the time. Today broke the season's
record up to this time with 125,000
pounds. It was here from everywhere,
each one of the watehouses having
abovt as much as it wanted to look after.
The sale ivas an all day affuir this time,
Starting at the Star at 9 oTclock only that
houseaid PlanterTs could be finished be-
fote dinner. The Eastern and Greenville
had the afternoon and gave the buyers
suv much to bid a to keep them busy
until nearly Wight. There was a large
ccowd, maity, adies among them, out to
see the break. ~There is no need of
disputing the matter any further"
Greenville is the leading tobacco mar-
ket of Eastern North Carolina. Other
markets are aware uf this whether they
admit it or not.
A Cunning Snake,
Mr. J. A. Price killed a remarkab!e
snake Friday. Back of his smoke-
house was a henTs nest in which three
hens were laying. He knew there.were
two eggs in the nest but when tte chil-
dren looked for them they were gone
They heard a hen cackle and went im-
mediately for the egg but it was not
there. This was repeated three times,
but no egg was found. Finally, sus-
pecting that something was getting the
egas, Mr. Price made search and found
a large snake just inside the smoke-
house. There wasa hole under the
house thrsugh which he could protrude
his head and rob the henTs nest ina
moment. The snake, Mr. Price said,
w.s about 74 inches in circumference
and 5 teet long. It was a black snake
with very smail white spots here and
there. He said it looked like a ocircus
snake.�"Scotland Neck Common-

P| which this policy has brought to the
resentation that we have to meet is the
charge that we are advocating " the

fat the coinage rato,
upon our sister republic to contend that
strength. It-is absurd to assert that
the United States is not able to do
atiything which Mexico has failed to
accomplish. The one thing necessary
n order to maintain the parity 1s to
urnish a demand large enough to
utilize silver which wili come to the
mints. That Mexico has failed to do
this is no proof that the United States
would do so. It is immaterial how
many or how few nations have open
mints, provided there are sufficient
open mints to furnish a monetary de-
mand for all the gold and silver avail. |
able for coinage.
oIn reply to the argument that im-
proved machinery hus lessened the
cost of producing silver, it is sufficient
to say that the same is true of the
production of gold, and notwithstand-
ing that geld has risen in value. As a
matter of fact the cost of production
does tot determine the value of the
precious metals except as it may affect
the supply. It, for instance, the cost
of preduction of gold should be reduced
yQ per cent, without any increase 12
the output, the purchasing power of an
ounce of gold would not fall. So long
as there isa monetary demand sufficie..t
to take at a fixed,mint priece all the
gold aud silver produced, the cost. ej
oIn the, early part of the present
century the annual p.oduction of silver
was worth at the coinage ratio about
three times as much as the annual pro-
duction of gold, wheregs scon after
1849 the annual production of gold be-
came worth about three times as much |
as the annua] |
production of silver; and yet, owing to |
the maintenance of the bimetalic stand. |
ard, these enormous changes in relative
production had but a slight effect upon
be true when we again establish a mint
price for silver and leave no surplus
silver upon the market to drag down
the price of bullion.
Under bimetallism
silver bullion will be worth as much as
silver coin, just as gold ballion is now
worth as much as golil coin, and we
believe that a silver dollar will be worth
as much as a gold dollar.
oThe charge cf repudiatin cocme

~that the free ecinage of silver is intend-
t
led only for the benefit of: the mine owh-
ers, it must be remembered that free |
coinage cannot restore to the mine own-
ers any more than demonetization took

that the less which the demonetization

The silver dollar could be doubled in
size, so the new dollar would weigh
thirty-two times as much as the present
gold dollar, or the present gold dollar
could be reduced one-half in weigat, so
the present silver dollar would weigh
thirty-two times as much as t'e gold]
dollar. ~Those who have advised a
change in the ratio have usually sug-
gested that the silver dollar be doubled.
If this change were made it would
necessitate the recoinage of four bil-
lions of silver, ov two bilhons of dollars.
There would te an immediate loss of
two billions o® doilars, either to individ-
uals or the government, but this would
be the least of the injury. A shortage
of one-half in the silver money of the
wor'd would mean a. shrinkage of one-
fourth in the tetal volume of metallic
money. This contraction by increasing
the value of the dollar, would increase
the debts of the world two bil-
lions of dollars, and decrease.st'll more
the value of the property of the world
as measured by dollars. Besides this
immediate result, such a change in the
ratio would) permanently increase the
avpual vaddition to the worldTs supply
of mouey, because the annuel silver
product, when cione�,� into dollars twice |
us large, would make only half as many
dollars.
oThe people of the Uiited States
would be mjured by a chapge in the
ratio, not because they produce silver
but because they own property and owe
debts, and they eaunot afford to thus
decrease the value of their property or
inerease the burden of their debts.
oIn 1878 Mr. Carlisle said: ~Man-
kind will be fortunate indeed it the

aunval production of gold and silver

gold and silver aunually available tor

ratio will pot, in my judgement, more
than supply cur immediate needs. In
supporting the act of 1890, known as
the Sherman act, Senater Sherman, on
June the Sth cf that year, said: *On the
law of February, 1878, the purchase of
$2,000,000 worth of silver bullion a
month has by coinage production an-
nually an average of nearly $3,000,000

al benefits upon individuals and com"

do not deter us from making appropri

ver dollar is heavier than a gold dollar,
and that therefore silver is less con-

completely answered by the silver cer-

tiverous or insect eating birds, and |
| few of us have ever heard or read ot |
a country where the tables are tarn. |
~ed to such a dogreo that they speak |
of a bird eating irsect, but that is
the exact condition of aifrirs in|
Ir |
| thoso countries they have an insect
called the great mantis, which is;
gone four or five inches in length, |
not including his strong jaws and]
immense nipperlike fore legs. |
This s pair of enormous *~pinc hers� |
are cqual in strength to those of a!
vawfish or a crab and are uscd by!
the giant mantis in capturing ite |
prey. The food of this cannabalistic |
insect consists of spiders, grasshop |
pors, small snakes and lizards, and,
according to Brumlister, the most
robust specimens of the genus will
not stand aside with an empty stom.
ach if ho can manage to get his nip-
pers ona bird of the size of a canary, |
warbler or chickadce. The grea:
mantis resembles a combined le af
and twig both in color and Buape
and being aided by this resem uianve |
is able to stealthily approach. its |
prey, whether it be reptile, inscct
or birdy and seizo the unsuspecting |
creature with its razorliko claws." |
