The Greenville News has adopted g the paragraph style of editorial. ,Another demand should be for bet bet road in the country. We suppose { at 'tEhis time every one is an ardent advocate of good roads. - . T e Cohiinbia .Re.or4 says. that the. isue in South Carolina politics this a year is 1ease. it will be -arelief .to : be rid of the everlasting liquor ques- d tio#. .w 2 Ii is wonderful what a CW rt evel tempered man the editor of the ColUmbia State Is. With the annoya anes bleha it muat be .a afW ter streets for Newberry should be tbe slogan of this city during the o 4od :year 1912. Let everybody talk ti it and the -wok will soon begin and d * e' will have some decent streets. f e notice that some people are ad vocating an appropriation by the leg- i islature to advertise South Carolina. fz We thought the old State was pretty 3 well advertised already. The legisla- r S ture, if it is wise, will cut down all appropriations possible. a is "People, who wait for something to I a turn up never build a town. Towns ; are built by men who turn up some thing themselves." This is as true as gospel. Newberry needs somebody to!b turn up something and to turn it up -b right now-not exactly before break <I fast-but not to keep waiting.k Tlhe Grecenville News says that if s the water wagon is- a little crowded t] just now that you had better hold, on for there will be plently of room after 'ti awhile. They should know all about the water wagon up where they can drink Paris Mountain water. . . It is stated .that four thousand '0: workmen have been deprived of their ~ mleans of livelihood throughout France ' because of the decree of fashion in the matter of woman's dress. The c 3hole cause of the trouble is that for-j e: merly where it took eight yards of . material to make an ordinary dress now four yards are ample to envelop -.- a body, however amply framed. It is I enough to put the textile workers in a bad frame of mind. t OUR RAREST SILVER DOLLAR. a But Two Known to Ex!st, and the One ti Shown Recently at t;he XNmismatic Convention is aVined at $5,000' a Other Rare Coins of Early Days. A United States silver pa'tern dol- b lar, dated 1776, and valued a $5,000,;3 which was exhibited at Chicagc at ther convention of the American Numis-t mati.a association, brought to the im-r mediate attention of both the ge'ueral a public and collectors a silver piece:s which, for rarity value and his.orical 91 worth, completely eclipses th 3 cele- C brated 1804 dollar, 'or, indeed, any other soin in the United States se-e ries. Even in some respects it is mn're~ interesting than the excessively rare *t] and valuable silver pattern dollar, or - "mark," of 1783, proposed by Robert f Morris, the "Financier of the RevVolu- - tion." This coin, which is known as the Continental Currency dollar, says the h New York Sun, is owned by H. O. ( Gra.nberg, of Oshkosh, Wis., and rep-p resents unquesttionably the very first p metallic issue to bear the stamp of K the United States, or United Colonies, o as the confederation was originally a known. The Continental dollar pre- 't ceded by nine years the issue of the 't first regularly authorized cent. of t~ 1787-the Fugio or Franklin cent- V and the issue of the latter coin, no I doubt, was largely influenced by this -c first dlollar, for it bore its principal- S :features of design. ' The Contine2rtal Currency dollar is. t about the size of an ordinary silver doHlar, and contains 378 grains of sil- 2 'Ver. On the -obverse the principalf t itit the word "iugio to The lefi. ow the dial is the motto, "Mind 3 3usiness," a saying attributed ranklin. This central de5ign is losed by two circles, while arc he border in large letters is the cription, "Continontal Curre 776' On' the, reverse is a circli 3 links, each of which bears the n f. one_sof'.the 13; colonies. In the re.. . aradiation, ~which encolse Louble circle, in which are'the wo American Congress. We Are O0 No definite information as to wl he Cointtnenital curreacy dollar aade can now be obtained. - But i hought to have been produced ne of the engravers of Birmingh :ngland, in. which city were 'n iany of the coins that were -circul i this country during Colonial d ad the most of which are now his alued by collectors. The 'dsgn of the dollar was ently suggested by the - devices ie, st;-Coatilental. currency pa sues. On the obverse of oneI ne.e notes was a representation su as a human face shining ul dali, with the word "Fugio." J ove was a. representation of oon, :lso as. a. fate. (The lati wevere,'found no 'place in the gn of the silver dollar.) Und nth the dial was the mdtto, " our Business." The reverse des: the note showed almost the id cal design borne by the Continer olar and seems to have been :died intact. Several varieties of these Contin tl dollars are now known, and ly were there various designs sh4 ig trifling differences, but they oc i different metals, silver, brass rhite metal. The rarest of the ser le one owned by Mr. Granbi hows marked differences from s: f the othea. Und-srneath the i nd above the motto is inscribed mall letters "E. G. Fecit." "E. re supposed to have been the init f the engraver of the dies. From what can be 1.-arned there ly two specimens of the above tr known in silver, the one ow y Mr. Granberg and another said e in the collection of an Eastern ] rica-l society. The variety is a nown in brass and white metal. >ecimens in the latter two mei re also rare and held e: a premi1 he one is brass is much rarer ti at in white metal. The next rarest variety of the C nental currency dollar is of sn r design to that mentioned abc at the engraver in cutting the c ade an error in spelling "curren ith but one~ "-r." A similarsp en, showing this error, and the o e known in the metal, was formn the collection of John G. Mills, Ibany, whose collection was sold 104. That coin at that time brou; 500. Since that time the values >lonial coins particularly have i enormously and that dollar we aw bring a very much higher fig offered for sale. The design showing the error 3 so struck in brass and white me has 'been stated by experts that, five are known in brass. One rese, also offered at the Mills si rought $27, which would be larg Ivanced if sold today. The same ety in white metal brought $18 ie Mills sale. There must have been a consid ble issue of coins of this design hite metal, judging by the num Idies that were made, as eviden yt:he known specimens. One desi ith the error in the spelling of "c mcy," shows a comma under the: r "n." It was struck in brass fr ~ut dies. But two such specim re known, and the last record le of one, the Parmelee sale of 15 ld' in this city, was $2&. Even immonest of the white metal sp< Lens are held at a premium of a ta dollars. The only contemporary mention iese pieces is given in Crosby's "E rCoins of America," and was tal -om Watson's "Chemical Essa Dublin, 1791,) in reference to co Ethis design'struck in tin. Said he: "The congress in Amer ad recourse to the same expedi nidently discussing the striking wter coins;) they coined seve ieces of about an inch and a hail jameter and of 240 grains in weit a one side of which was inscribed circular ring near the edge "C nental Currency, 1776," and wit ae ring a rising sun with "Fugio' ae side of its shining upon a d nder which was "Mind Your Bi ess." On the reverse were 13 sr irces, on each of which was cribed the name of some one of 3 States; on another ring wit iese was inscribed "American C ress" and in the central sPace' Lro One."
