I Happ«it Under Ffm Coin- • .•*». . ■ y It the .effort of the free coin* advocates should succeed, debased coin forced upon the people of the country, at a dollar for what costs them about fifty cents, would have the same evil influence that the debased coin had when the les son in Sound Money, which is described in the following ex tract from Macaulay’s-*,History of England,”, was learned at such a fearful cost. ▲NOTHKB LISBON FROM HISTOBY. From Macaulay’s “History of England”: It may well be doubted whether all the misery which had been inflicted on the English nation in a quarter of a century by bad kings, bad ministers, bad parliament and bad judges was equal to the mis ery caused by a couple of years by bad shillings. The misgov- eminent of Charles and James, gross as it had been, had not prevented the common business of life from going steadily and prosperously on. Whether Whigs or Tories, Protestants or Jesuits were uppermost, the § raser drove his beasts to mar- et, the grocer weighed out his currants, the draper measured out his broadcloth; the hum of buyers and sellers was as loud as ever in the towns; the har vest home was celebrated as joyously as ever in the hamlets; the cream overflowed the pails of Cheshire; the apple juice foamed in the presses of Her- fordshire; the piles of crockery glowed in the furnaces of the Trent, and the barrows of coal rolled fast along the timber railways of the Tyne. But when the great instru ment of exchange became thor oughly deranged, all trade, all industry, were smitten as with a palsy. The evil was felt daily and hourly in almost every place, and by almost every class, in the dairy and on the thresh ing floor, by the anvil and by the loom, on the billows of the ocean and in the depths of the mine. Nothing could be pur chased without a dispute. Over every counter there was wrang ling from morning to night. The workman and bis employ er had a quarrel as regularly as Saturday came round. On a fair day or a market day, the clamors, the 'reproaches, the taunts, the curses were inces sant; and it was well if no booth was overturned and no head broken. No merchant would contract to deliver goods with out some stipulation about the quality of the coin in which he was to be paid. Even men of business were often bewildered by the confusion into which all pecuniary transactions were thrown. The simple and care less were pillaged without mercy by extortionists, whose demands grew even more rapid ly than the money shrank. The price of the necessaries of life, of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal rose fast. The laborer found that the bit of metal which, when he received it, ivas called a shilling, would hardly, when he wanted to purchase a pot of beer or a loaf of rye bread, go as far as sixpence. Where ar tisans of more than usual in- ' telligence were collected iu great cumbers, as in the dock yards at Chatham, they were able to make their complaints heard, and to obtain redress. But the ignorant and helpless peasants were cruelly ground between one class which would give money only by tale and another which would take it only by weight. Every man who works for a salary must meet the fact that with free silver his dollars will only go half as far, and his sal- aay must, therefore, be dou- blad. Former experience shows that it is easier to increase prices by poor currency than to increase wages. Mexico is a direct object lesson for us. The rich are growing richer, the prices are high, and the wages are low. The following certificate of the mayor of El Paso is a sim ple statement of fact:— I, R. F. Campwell, mayor of the city of El Paso, Tex., here by certify that I have made careful and diligent inquiry in to the wholesale price of some common articles of merchan dise in the city of El Paso, Tex., and the city of Jaurez, Mex., just across the Rio Grande, and at this date, Aug. 7, the prices the following articles in the Lemon extract, per dozen 1.00 vii 1.00 anilU extract, per down 8.25 8.00 Arbockle’s coffee, per pound .20 .40 Soap, per hex 8.75 5.00 Tea, per pound 85 to 1.00 70 1.50 ‘ ' ‘ ‘ ‘"6.60 10.75 6.50 .11 21.80 7.00 8.50 .211 Deviled bam, per dozen 8.00 Sugar, per sack of 100 lbs. 5.50 Flour, per aack of 100 Ibe. 2 25 Rice, per pounb - .05 Condensed milk, per case 8.00 Canned tomatoes, per case 2.25 Canned peas, per case 2.40 Crackers, per pound ,07i The Mexican prices are the prices which prevail in the free zone, on which there is small duty. Of course, in the inter ior they would be much higher. I also find and do hereby certi fy that Mexican labor in Mexico in the larger cities is paid from 75 cents to $1.50 per day in Mex ican silver. The highest price for the very best and most skilled labor $2 per day, in the same kind of money. In the interior of Mexico, in the coun try and smaller cities, the wages paid are from twenty per cent to thirty per cent lower than that given above. Given under my hand and seal of office, on this seventh day of August, A. D. 1896. R. F.

Mrs. Lucy M. Norment, JOHN HARVARd"wINDOW. It is to b# Presented by the Corpora tion of Harvaad University to St, Sa viour’s Church in Southwark. Lon don, Where Harvard Was Baptized in 1607. It has been decided by the corporation of Harvard Univer sity to participate in the issto- ration of St. Saviour’s Church in Southwark, London, by pre senting to it a memorial win dow of John Harvard. He was baptized in the church on Nov. 29, 1607, and it is therefore a natural and proper course for the college of which he was the founder to take part in the work of restoring the ancient English building. St: Saviour’s Church, which is situated in Wellington street, on the south, or Surrey, side of the English.capital, is the old est of the London churches When it was built in the thir teenth century by Gifford, bishop of Winchester, it formed a part of the Augustinian Pri ory of St. Mary Overy. But in 1540 it was converted by Henry YIII. into a parish church, and it has retained that character ever since. Reputed heretics were tried in the Lady Chapel in 1555, during the reign of “bloody” Queen Mary. In 1840 the old nave was taken down and an incongruous new structure substituted. Besides the special interest for Harvard men which at taches to the ancient edifice as the church in which John Har vard was baptized, it is further noted as the burial-place of John Gower, the poet, and friend of Chaucer, the drama tists Mastinger and Fletcher, Edmund Shakespeare, the bro ther of William, and Lawrence Fletcher, who was joint lessee with Shakespeare and Burbage of the Globe and Blackfriars theatres. An excellent view of the interior of tho church forms the frontispiece of the Harvard Graduates’ Magazine for Sep tember. As one gazes at the untenanted interior, with its Gothic arches, high, groined roof, and elaborate reredos, it is not difficult to picture the scene as it must have appeared on that day, nearly three cen turies ago, when Mistress Kath erine Rogers Harvard came from her home, presumably the Old Queen’s Head Inn at South wark, which she owned and kept, bearing her little son John in her arms for the purpose of having him baptized. One wonders what was in her mind as she stood holding the child at the railing, back of which appears the font. Certainly she little dreamed how, cen turies later, in a faraway land of which she had probably heard only vague descriptions, the name of John* Harvard, then given him for the first time, would be a familiar one on the lips of millions as that of the founder of the greatest in stitution of learning in the New World.

Witherspoon and Miss Blanche DeLorme left on Tuesday to attend the Win- throp College at Rock Hill. Mr. J. A. Dick, formerly teacher of the Dovesville In stitute, is on a business visit to citizens of town and vicinity. Dr. W. R: Clyburn, of West- ▼ille 8. C., a graduate of the University of Maryland, has by invitation, located here to prac tice his profession. An election held by the pa trons, for teacher of the free school at Spring Branch, on Thursday last, resulted in favor of Miss Anna Sumner. Rev. J. B. Holly, pastor of Black Creek church, will go to Louisville, about the first of November, to attend the Theo logical Seminary at that place, We believe we voice the sen timents of the people generally, in giving thanks to a merciful Providence for the cold wave, which struck this portion of creation on Saturday night, 19 inst. An urgent petition is being circulated and numerous ly signed by citizens of the town and neighborhood, requesting Dr. J. B. Ware, to return and locate at this place for the prac tice of his profession. Verily, Dovesville, is on a boom—A. J. Islar & Bro., col ored, have opened a grocery store on R. R. st, making four stores now, in full blast, with the promise of two more “in future.” Drummers and to bacco warehousemen are flood ing the town and we now only need a hotel and a chemically pure mineral spring to compete successfully with our rivals. (Later.) A teiific wind and rain storm struck our little town about 2 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon and blew in puffs, with cyclonic fury, for about three hours, taking the tin roof off ^)f the depot and brick stores, prostrat ing trees, leveling fences and completely covering the ground with severed limbs and leaves. The storm came from the east and inoved to the south west. No accident reported, so far, to life or limb. Have just been informed the large two story tobacco pack House of Mr. J. P. Kirven was nearly wreck ed being blown two feet out of perpendicular. - In Mexico. School District. Enroll ment for 1N6-M.

Miss Louise McIntosh has re turned to Nashville, Tenn , to resume her studies, at the Pea body Institute. The cotton market here is very dull—lots of cotton goes to Darlington and Hartsville that belongs to our market. The “Petrified” man arrived in town yesterday and is on exhi bition at the Gandy store. Large crowds are paying him their respects. T. H. Coker & Son announce a “Big day” next Saturday Oct. 3rd and request all to be present. They have something to please the public. Mr. John E. Sumner and Messrs. T. H. Coker & Son have been busy of late printing and nailing signs. It is evident that they believe that advertis ing is the best trade winner. Capt. Carrigan’s artesian well over the river is quite a resort for the young people— the water is pure and clear, very light and exhilarating and those who visit the well are amply repaid for their trip. Spare a little cash now. Re liable insurance, any kinds—all kind—every kind. Mrs. Lucy M. Norment. • CLYDE- The bulk of the cotton is out of our fields and on the market. Some of our boys are gather ing corn and say that it is good. Mr. D. W. Smith and wife, of Columbia, paid us a few days visit last week. We are very sorry to learn that Mr. C. T. Hall, of Lawer, Chesterfield, is critically ill at present. Mrs. Harman Jones, has been down to see ^er children in the New Psovidence section for a few days. Our boys are catching some fine possum just now and “ta- ters” are here, so hard times are no more. Mr. A. M. McNair is gin ning all the cotton at present that he can—his water has about given out. Mr. J. T. Newson has just moved his molasses mill from here, where he has been mak ing a lot of millet molasses. Our shoe trade is better now than ever before. You ask why—because we can give bet ter values for less money. Blackwell Bros. BIG DAY SATURDAY, OCTOBER Srd, AT OUR STORE. Everything at bottom prices. Will appreciate a call from you. Come! Come!
