No Danger of too inui-n Money, Used by
a Majority of the World.
There neyer has been a sufficient '
quantity of specie in oar county to !
constitute a sound basis for banking j
institutions. The redemption money
required to be kept in vaults has al- i
ways been so small as to readily lead
to panics and a run of the banks. In
times of profound peace and prosperi
ty the banks get along well, enjoying
public confidence. There is little
handling of specie when on hand.
With a knowledge that a bank has
sufficient specie and solvent security
with which to redeem, there is no dis
position to run on the bank. There is
no probability that a restoration of'
coinage to silver, that there will be
sufficient influx to supply this great j
need. The great uses for silver by
more than half of the population of
Ie world, especially in the East, has
pt up such a continual drain from
c West, that silver was frequently |
ove par. For centuries England has
awn heavily to supply her immense
pulation in India, her rapidly in
casing commerce, the arts and per
lal adornment. The agitation in
irope, and this country recently, has
lited coinage even in India; but a
mmption of coinage and a return of
tctical common sense, "history wil
>eat itself" and the two metals will
mmc their historic relations and
functions. Europe has failed to make
the stride from silver to gold. Ger
many in her efforts to consolidate the
empire, finds herself in a dilemma.
England would take Germany's silver
to India, but does not want it all at
once. This condition has produced
the panic in large part. The great
consideration with Europe is the pres
ervation of "the balance of the pow- i
ers," and everything else is subordi- j
nate. Experiments are attended with
danger to boundaries. The United
States wants no entanglements with I
them. She will quiet the nerves of the ;
gold bugs and restore her finances to
normal after the election of Bryan and
Sewall. FISHERSVILLE.
A Sensational Tragedy in Arkansas.
The killing of Ed Atwell a deputy
United States marshal, at Knoxville,
Ark., last week, was one of the most
sensational tragedies that ever occurr
ed in those parts. It grew out of a
fight which Atwell had with Jas. Rob
ertson, an old man, Wednesday The
deputy marshal went into the postoffice
and spoke to the assembled crowd.
Some, among them old man Robert
•on, did not return his greeting, and
Atwell applied an epithet to them.
tbertson, who was not on speaking
ms with Atwell, took the remark to
uself, and started for Atwell. The
.rshal pushed him away saying he
did not wish to hurt him, but Robert
son returned to the fray. Atwell then
drew his revolver, knocked Robertson
down with it and struck him until
witnesses interfered. Robertson's sons
were revenged Friday. While Atwell
was walking along the main street of
Knoxville Geo. Robertson, a son of the
old man, raised a double-barreled shot
gun and fired at Atwell. The charge j
struck Atwell in the right leg and he \
sent two bullets from his revolver to-1
I wards Robertson. Neither took effect,
and then John Robertson,a brother of
George, walked out of the office of a
marble yard and took a 6hot at Atwell j
with a double barreled shotgun. The !
load struck Atwell in the back of the j
head and caused a fatal wound. As
the marshal fell he fired a third shot
at Geo. Robertson, but the bullet went

for the silver Democrats of Pittsylva

Healthy, happy children make better I
men and women of us all. A little care
and a little plaining before birth is of
ten more important than anything that

the future of the children. A weak
and sickly woman cannot beai strong
and healthy children. Mo«t of the
weakness of women is utterly inexcus
able. Proper care and medicine will

Bne Constantinople Massacres,
events of the last few weeks have j
uly, and on the whole fairl#, i
sled, but a. few details of the
• done to property may be in
ig. It is difficult to conceive
much damage could have been
done in so short a time, but the recent
outbreak was so well organized that
once the signal given (and it was given
without a doubt) the hordes of ruffians
fell to their work with a fiendish frenzy,
and did it most effectually. The busi
ness quartet of the city resembles a
field destroyed by locusts. Buildings
were stormed, th-ir guardians beaten
to death, and their contents not only
j stolen but ruthlessly destroyed. Safes
I were opened, furniture smashed to
atoms, letters tor-i to shreds, and books
I wantonly hacked to pieces.
I have visited a few of the buildings,
and they look as if they had gone
through a siege, in fact, worse, as the
buildings, while left standing, were
turned out, and go where you will
there are signs, not only of loot, but
downright, deliberate destruction. The
amount of damage done cannot be esti
mated, and the injury to trade will be
felt for months. In connection with
the raid one cannot but deplore the
loss of life. The janitors of the Khans
or offices were principally Armenians,
innocent and unarmed, and they were
cudgelled to death like rats, and even
shot down by the Turkish troops, who
evidently had carte blanche and vied
with the rabble in their murderous
work. Now, things have in a measure
settle down, but it will be long before
complete confidence will be restored,
and after the ordeal gone through the
slightest noise leads to a panic.
Liettmg alone the attack on the Im
perial Ottoman Bank, which was as
silly as unpardonable, the late riot is
the outcome of the atrocities commit
ted in the interior last year. The
Armenians naturally brood over their
merciless treatment at the hands of the
Turks, and although the remnant are
peaceable and innocent, some of the
hotbloods do thair little that their
countrymen be allowed to live. Their
tactics have been stupid and futile and
fatal, but love of liberty is rampant in
the human breast, and history is full
of similar sorrowful episodes which
j have been besmeared with blood and
| which have often ended ia victory.
j Our sympathies are with any oppress
ed people, and our anger is stirred at
the apathy of Christendom. The
I author of all the horrors gloats over
| the havoc done, but he shall have his
reward, and may, should he live long
enouge, regret the loss of so many
loyal subjects.
The Armenians were the backbone
of the country, intelligent, industrious
and law abiding, and although a few
more thousands have been added to
the ghastly holocaust, they are still
numerous enough here and in other
lands to attain their end and witness
the discomfiture of their oppressors.
Turks cannot govern their Christian
subjects justly so long as the interior
is full of lawless unpaid tribes. The
capital itself swarms with lazy, loung
ing parasites who live on a rotten gov
ernment, and already they begin to
grumble at arrears of pay, six to eight
months, and any day they may side
with the mob in protesting against a
sovereign who, although he poses as
the head of their religion, has lost pro
vince after province, is estranging the |
! love and allegiance of his people, has |
i brought upon himself the and
contempt of the whole world, and who
is in a fair way of losing his
his life. This hatred of race is bolster
ed up by fanaticism and ignorance; the '
average Turk knows little of what is
going on. He 'is fed on pottage and is
throwing away his birthright. Of late
days many Armenians have left the
country, but I am told that Rumania,
Russia, France, and Greece refuge to
receive them. To go back to their
homes and friends in the interior
would mean certain death, so that
what will become of these poor per
secuted people God only knows.
Affidavits as to personal character
may be necessary to allay suspicion or
to attract the simple-minded; but what
has the manufacturer's private char
acter to do with the efficacy of his
so called "cure ?" Ely's Cream Balm
depends solely upon its reputation of
years as a successful cure for catarrh
in all its stages. It is absolutely free
from mercury or any other drugs in
jurious to the system. Being applied
directly to the diseased membrane it
affords instantaneous relief and will
effect a perfect cure of catarrh.
The Outlook.
The political news from various parts
of the country Thursday is most en
couraging to -the Democrats. Mr.
Bryan made a number of speeches in
Ohio and Pennsylvania towns Wednes
day, and was most warmly received.
In his speeches Mr. Bryan said gold
will overthrow civilization, and that
his mission as President would do to
bring back the government to its old
foundation, which secures equal rights
to all. News comes from Ohio that the
republicans are much alaimed at the
condition of affairs in that State, and
from Chicago comes the report that
Mr. Hanna is so worried over the news
from several of the doubtful States
that he is willing to chango his tactics
and to shift from finance to the tariff
as the main issue of the campaign.
Chairman Danforth, of the New York
State committee, said to-day: "Our po
sition is becoming stronger every day
and I am growing more confident ev
ery hour that New York S-ite will go i
for Bryan.'' He also stated that Na- j
tional Chairffi.-ia Jones, from whom he !
had j nut received a letter, vvjjs confident.
that Illinois would go for Bryan by a
big majority.

United States can Lead or Stand Alone.
Bimetallism has been maintained in
the United States for near one hundred
years, without asking the co-operation
of any other nations; we have passed
through three great wars, have main
tained the financial honor of the conn
try, and have become a great nation.
The opponents of the use of both silver
and gold afflm that the U. S. cannot
restore silver to equal coinage as be
fore the act of 1873 and maintain its
equality with gold without the co-ope- j
ration of Europe. We challenge the
correctness and sincerity of this asser
tion: 1. Upon the ground that we|
have done it heretofore without let or j
hindrance from a people of three up to
seventy millions. 2. That near ono
year ago the President, returning un
der the inspiration of a duck hunt,
issued his "war message," in relation
to the controvercy between England
and Venezuela, in- which the U. S. had
no direct interest,and asserted the pur
pose to enfore the Monroe doctrine in
the face of all nations claiming Ameri
can soil. Congress, with great unanim
ity, endorsed and especially on the
part of those who now cower for the
safety of their gold. 3. Upon the fur
ther ground, that no nation has inti
mated opposition to reinstating silver
and gold as before, but, on the con
trary, many European economists re
inforced by the great Prince Bismark,
have expressed the opinion that, "the
great American Republic," could with
success and propriety, lead in bimetal
lism, to be followed by European
countries. This is the issue.
Demonitization by Contract.
Mr. Bryan in one of his recent speech
es to a Michigan andience said:—
"I notice that the other day," "one
of the Democrats who had left the
Democratic party said that we are not
giving the liberty to the individual that:
we ought to; that when we say that a i
man cannot contract for a particular '.
kind of money we are taking away his ;
personal liberty. My friends, you have j
usury laws. Those usury laws inter- I
fere with personal liberty, but what j
kind of liberty is it that they interfere
With ? It is the liberty that the man '•
who loans money has to oppress those
who borrow money, and the fact that |
we have to have usury laws shows that j
there is that in human nature which !
must be restrained. Our contention !
that the laws ought to prohibit the I
making of contracts in a particular j
kind of money, our contention that!
the law ought to prevent a man from
demonetizing by con tract that which j
the government makes money by law,
is based upon exactly the same prin
ple. (Cheers.)
Early Thursday morning near Hen
ley's sertoolhouse, in Wythe county, a
man named Henry Wampler had a
difficulty with his wife, his son Amos
secured a gun and fired its contents
into his father's body, killing him al
most instantly.

For Weak Men With Nervous Debility
This is Certainly the Chance of a
Lifetime.
i Weak men suffering from nervous
| debility,weakened powers and exhaust
ed vigor, can now take new hope. Here
is something which will powerfully in
terest them. It is a fact that until now
sufferers have been debarred from seek
ing a cure by the great specialists in
these complaints owing to the cost of
travel to the large city and the high
fees charged by these eminent physi
cians.
Here, therefore, is a chance for weak
men in our community which should
not be lost. Dr. Greene, of 3a West
14th St.. New York City, who has the
largest practice in the world, and who
is without doubt the most successful
specialist in curing this class of diseases
offers to, give free consultation by mail
to all weakened, vigorless and nerve
exhausted men. You have the privilege
of consulting Dr. Greene by letter de
scribing your complaint and he will,
after carefully considering your condi
tion, send you a letter fully explaining
all your symptoms, telling you every
thing about your compiaint so plainly
that you will understand exactly what
ails you. He will also give you his ad
vice, based upon his vast experience
and wonderful success in treating and
curing such cases, as to just what to
do to get cured. All this will cost you
nothing and you can thus have con
sultation with the best known physi
cian and acknowledged most success
ful specialist in the world, without
leaving home and at no expense what
ever. The Doctor is the discoverer of
that greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and
he has discovered many other most
valuable remedies. Write to him now,
for this is the chance of a lifetime to
get cured which you may never have
again.
Weak Lungs
Hot, weather won't cure weak
lungs. You may feel better be
cause out of doors more, but
the trouble is still there. Don't
stop taking your
Scott's
Emulsion
because the weather happens
to be warm. If you have a
; weak throat, a slight hacking
| cough, or some trouble with
j the bronchial tubes, summer is
I the best time to get rid of it.
If you are losing flesh there is
all the more need of attention.
Weakness about the chest and
thinness should never go to
! gether. One greatly increases
the danger of the other. Heal
the throat, cure the cough, and
strengthen the whole system
now. Keep taking Scott's
Emulsion all summer.
