EDENTON, June 16tb, 1893.
Bank failures continue to occur
throughout the countrj In Chicago
the pressure has been especially
great.
There will be nine contests for
seats in the Fifty-third Congress in
the House. One from North Caro
lina -Williams vs Settle.
Hurrah for the old North State.
Our hearts swell with pride when we
learn that North ,Carolina is so excel
lently represented at the big Chicago
show in its numerous exhibits. It
compares well with others. If bo
much could be done with such limited
means could not a grander exhibit
have been achieved with even $50.
000? Some of the States had $100,000
or more. Ex.
Here is the opinion of Secretary
of Agriculture Morton on the mone
tary question : 'I am against the
Sherman act, which compels the pur
chase of silver to the amount of 4,500
000 ounces per month, and also op
posed to free coinage of the same
silver at tin rate of $1.29 per ounce
when it sells on the world's markets
at 84 cents an ounce. The money
fallacies preached by the Populists
from the Ocala platform would if
embodied in legislation, destroy our
common country; therefore, I am op
posed to all of their vagaries."
The first quarter of the present year
showed that there was a decrease of
foreign immigrants by 40,074. But
in May there were 75,000 arrivals
against the 170,542 for the first three
months. It was an increase of 7,000
over May 1892 Italians are coming
in heavily. England, Ireland and
Scotland sent to us a god!y quota.
Theie are fewer immigrants from
Russia, Hungary and Poland than in
1892, which it is agreeable to know.
They constitute a very undesirable
proportion of peasantry who come
with turbulence and diseases and
fnl38 ideas of freedom and our govern
ment. Let every man do his duty. This
is the ago when liberal and public
spirited men come to the iront The
time used to be when fossiles answer
ed about as well as anything else.'jbut
that time has passed. What we want
js men live men progressive men
public spirited men men who are
willing to take some chances if need
be, to promote the interest of their
community. It has been said that
'dead men never tell tales ' and it is
equally true that dead men in a bust
ness point of view, are absolutely
worthless. They don't count for any .
thing. They are afraid to risk a dol
lar unless they see thsy are to get two
dollars in return, and even then, they
prefer some one else to take the risk,
and let them reap the benefits. There
is scaroely a community in which suoh
men cannot be found. Warrenton
Record.
A gentleman under iorty years ot
age, whose hair was rapidly becom
ing thin and gray, began the U3e of
Ayer's.Kair Vigor, and in six months
his hair was' restored to its natural
color, and even more than its former
growth and richness.
HISTORIC EDENTON.
We are unable to account for the
lack of patriotism, public spirit and
pride of North Carolinians.
The career of other men of sister
State, whose memories have been
honored by sculptured bronze or,
granite shaft, does not excel 1 the
worthy deeds and achievements of
our own. Nor are the records and
events chronicled, more important
and interesting than those, which if
written, would place our State in the
fore-front of American history.
Therefore it is with especial inter
est that we can point with admirable
regard and appreciation to the recent
articles contributed by our townsman,'
Dr. Richard Diilard, to the "Maga
zine of American History," entitled
'Declaration of Independence by a
Colonial Church," and ''The Historic
Tea Party of Edenton, 1774."
The accuracy of history is its chief
merit, but when combined with evi
dences of earnest research and grace
ful expression, the interest become
delightful as well as instructive.
It is interesting to know the names
of five of the ladies composing the
'Tea Party," whose love of indepen
dence encouraged our Forefathers to
deeds of greatness and valor. It is
gratifying to know that they were
Edenton ladies, and a great satisfac
tion to find the true history given to
the public by an Edentonian; and
that through his zeal and patriotic
purpose, and the skill of an artist
whose merit has been long known to
us, a true copy of the Tea Party"
picture has been reproduced,
Long may he live 1
We rather think that there are not
so many Democrats in North Caro
lina who are enthusiastic over the
unlimited coinage of silver as there
were last summer and fall, Repre
sentative Henderson, the ablest man
inHhe present House delegation from
this State, is reported as favoring
this platform :
I am in favor of the Government
buying silver with silver; that the
Government stop the issue of money
and have only bank bills in circula
tion. Iwintto see the Sherman
law repealed. There seems to bo a
growing sentiment in favor ol the
repeal of this law, not only in North
Carolina a&d the Sout!, but all over
the country, with the exception of two
or three 'silver states."
