Q( THE EY COPEI COMPANY. , The majority of the voters who oted Yes on the court house quesion were non taxpayers, that is, hey owned no property, and doqbteas ran fropj place to place to get id of paying poll tax. We heard wo young men say at the polls, we rill vote Yes, for it won't hurt us. For lack of time and space we ave been compelled to leave out a reat deal of interesting matter this reek. Our readers *ill pardon TifK 'imes for containing so little this reek, and must be satisfied with the lection dews, for in getting up this ews we had to neglect other things. Miss Ethelind Goss has resigned er position as teacher in the central r&ded school here, and accepted a j osition as teacher in the primary chool of Greensboro, N. C. She rill be greatly missed in the school ere and a vacancy in the social cirle has been made which cannot be asily filled. The Times is surprised that Prog ass was surprised at The Times for pposing the court house measure, ar it does seem to us that it might iave known before this that The ?imb8 is governed by principle and iOt selfish motives in its advocacy or pposition to any measure effecting he welfare of the people.

As usual, The Times gives to the >eople the first correct tabulary statesent of the vote cast in the primary lection. There are a number of eople who have pasted in their crap book the tabulated statements ent out by The Times of every prisary election held in Union county. 1 he Times considers it an injustice & both the elected and defeated can* idate to give out an incorrect state* sent of the votes cast Tub Times refers to be a little late and give cor* ect statements than be ahead with n incorrect statement. .2 Goods | ? ve our store s ing with the || is and 11 iods... !

I hea no hissing or foolish questions from t hearers, but e?ery speaker had a fair ai impartial hearing, so far as I saw; ve little drinking and no one drunk that saw, and I nev. i stn it ihe odor of liqu from the bu ath of but one man and th was late in the evening after the big ra that fell that evening. The rain or interfered with but two speakers, M Ben Townsend and H. C. Little. M Little did Dot speak, and Mr. Townsei only a few minutes to a small crowd, the cloud was so threatening that mr | of the people had sought shelter near b Both the speakers and the hearers d serve great credit for the way they co duc'td themselves; no mud slingii among the candidates. They all act as gentlemen and 1 am glad they di Those who did not care to hear wh was being said did talk a little too mui and too loud, butthat is the case at i political meeting. A more honorable 1 of candidates than they are rarely see Today will decide the most of the mi who will serve us the next two years, believe that all of the candidates a Itadly scared, or at least they look so me The meeting was held at the b camp meeting spring where there w plenty of Dure wafer The corn on Pacolet river to safe far and the prospect is Rood with tl very beat of seasons. Cotton will fi far short of what the farmers thought month ago. Too much iain, rust, etx has cut it off in this section.

On the question of New Court Houf the most of the people on the Riigd w vote NO, With these few scattering i marks I Will close. G, T. G. i Demonetization of Silver. It in hardly conceivable that thirty one yeais ago, the rnpreseu'atives <>t the ! people entered into a conspiracy agaiust | the farmers and other laborers to btrike S down silver, the money of the world 3 from the eaihest dawn of hiuory. The 8 tacts go to prove that the uiouey power J (Shylock) engineered the scheme so as N to deceive legislators as to results to be % expected. As a recent writer puts it: ? "The thin edge of legislation as iuserled J by fiaud betweeu the two halves of the I world's money with the effect of depreJ dating silver and doubling the value of l gold." We propose to give some testi5 inotiy that the above statement is tiue a Senator Thurman said: "When the hill 5 was pei.dii g in the >enate. we thought. I it simp'.y a hill to refonn ttie mint, reg\ ulale coinage, ?&c. 1 think tiiere is not jj a single member of the Senate, unlwa a E member ot the committee from which j the bill came, who had the slightest idea ( that it was in tended to demount/.: silv ver " ilou Wui. D. Kthy, chairman ( ot ttie hill ou coinage, weight ai.d meas ? ures in 1873, said iu 1879: "I cm say t that the committee ou coins who reportG ed the original bill were faithful aud I able, and the bill reported by me as their J organ, contained poison for both the I standard silver dollar aud the trade dol5 lar. Never having heard uutil a long I time after its enactment iu to law ot the ! substitution iu the Senate of the sections I which dropped the standard dollar. 1 \ am prepared to say that in all ttie legisj lation of this couutry, there is no mystery tqual to the demouinzatiou of the | standard silver dollar of the United Slates I have never fouud a man who J could tell just how it came about or | why " I Senator Btck said in 1878: "The bili I demonetizing silver never was under) stood by either House of Congubs. 1 say 11 .at with full knowledge of facts Mo newspaper reporter?and they aie Lire most vigilant ineu 1 ever saw iu obtaining information?discoveied that it I had been done."

Under such circumstances the merchants quietly submitted, did ^ their best to protect their atooks; but ill since that time rain has fallen moat a abundantly, yet the atreeta have not 51 been aprinkled. The city fathera by aeem to hare forgotten that there la n- such a thing aa a sprinkler. The h- various water stands throughout the >n city haye been leaking water enough ie, around them for the past two weeks ill to sprinkle the atreeta fire times a re- day. Stop the leaks and sprinkle the streete. i N > *4 ImaKes a clean acknowledgment of the whole affair, leaving the reader to iufer that butli houses, reporters, door i-eepers were all either dinnk or asleep, the uoor of the Senate open, so the dastaidly th.ef could enter without mnUm?? ?..? 5 I with Ills bill lo his liking, and go home. 6 He may have come from Great Briiaiu; I X she demonetized silver in 1810, and has j a been anxious some, time to give us a S lesson in tinanchfljllMiStor Allison says: I "The hill was d<X*Oted, so it seems, out i who was the dbbtoi?
