When Uncle Sam gets so short on funds that he can't come to time with the spot cash here is the way that Col. Shaw proposes to do it. He would issue "patriot bonds." "If," he says, "the burdens should prove too heavy I am in favor of a patriot pension bond issue, so that only the interest would have to be met from year to year. Let posterity meet the, bonds when they mature.

Why not? The country was saved to posterity. It is only-proper that a part of the burden should fall on posterity." The probabilities are that posterity will have a good deal of this thing to tote any way, bond issue or no bond issue, if the pensions continue to increase as they have been doing instead of decrease, as they should do.

It is the opinion of a very large number of people now, including many who are supporting the -administration in its policy of "criminal aggression" in the Philippines, that if the foresight of the administration had been as good as its hindsight it would never have gotten the country into that mess.

In a statement recently issued by Prof. Schurman, of the Philippine commission, he practically admits this in the following: 'The insurrection, though serious enough, as experience has proven, is not a national uprising. Indeed, there ia no Philippine nation. As I have already said, there is a multifarious collection of tribes having onlythia in common, that thev talon tn th fenci Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star.

Carthage Blade: Mr. John Black, who lived near Carthage, died Thursday. The deceased was about 75 years old. Mrs. Eliza Cheek, widow of Mr.

Leonard Cheek, died last Friday. She was about 70 years years old. The Bell gold mine is situated in this county, eight miles from Carthage. An expert in the gold mining business visited this mine a few days ago and says that the ore is the finest he ever saw, and that the ore shows all the way through the rock. He considered it one of the richest mines in North Carolina.

LouiBburg Times: For the three months ending September 28th, the new management of the Dispensary makes a very good financial showing. In looking over the report of the Commissioners which is on file in the Superior Court Clerk's office we find that the total sales for the quarter were $4,215 35. Amount paid for expenses for quarter $332 53. Stock on hand July 1, 1898, stock on hand September 28, 1899, $2,771.22. A dividend of $1,000 was declared and paid to the county and town treasurers.

The capital of these companies aggregates $1,975,000. This shows a $4,000,000 investment for one month, and also shows that New England capital is still going into the building of mills in the South, as it; has been doing for some time. There is no reason to think that this activity will not continue for some time, but let a combine get control of our mills, and then we may look for a cessation of this activity, for fewer new mills and finally for. very few unless the combine concludes to build some at particularly advantageous points.

An Italian lady was telling her friends in an undertone the charming anecdote of Flniguerra and the laundress. The artist, it seems, in mastering the new and difficult art of engraving upon metal, had acquired a singularly keen eye and delicate touch, and he also possessed a number of very fine and sharp Instruments, which he used in his work.

Being a kindly man he sometimes placed both his sure hand and his fine tools at the service of his friends and neighbors in performing for them some of the simpler operations of surgery, until he acquired quite a reputation for his skill in doctoring their hurts. One day a poor laundress who had been washing clothes, in wringing out a garmedt in which a needle had been carelessly left, ran it deeply into her hand. Worse yet, it broke off in the wound and a part remained imbedded in the flesh. She was in much pain, and on her way back from the stream where she had been washing she stop ped at the house of the artist and was admitted. Dy Alexander 8prunt Son.

The cows had been infected by cows brought from the southern part of Martin county.

The newspapers in that part of Georgia lying along the North Carolina line are asserting that the infection spread above the quarantine line in Western North Carolina was from cattle bought in Georgia and driven across by North Carolinians.

Finiguerra left his work to help her, and after long and delicate manipulation extracted the broken needle. The woman thanked him and turned to go, lifting her bundle from its resting place. Then he saw that she had set it upon one of his engravings.

Like all others at that time, it was a plate of engraved metal, complete itself, and regarded as a single and sufficient picture, exactly as if it had been a painting. But as the damp bundle was raised the quick eye of Finiguerra Baw that it had received an impression from the engraved picture beneath, and his quick mind seized at once the suggestion of the possibility of indefinite reproduction from a single original.
