totally unworthy OF the public confidence.

SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL Is, 1910.
DEATH OF GOV. NOBLE

The State has sustained scsere loss in the deatt
OF this eminent public servant. He died IN Abbe-
vile District on the 7th instant after an illness Of
two weeks He had however, BEEN IN bad heslsh
since the close Of the last session Of the Iegssture.
He was, we learn, in the SD year Of his age. Cor.
NOBLE has long acteda conspicuous part in State
Legislature; having been elected Speaker in 1878,
he occupied the Chair by repeated reflections till
1923, when he retired for period from public LIE.
In 1893 he again took his place in the House, and
was Immediately chosen speaker. In 1886, he was
elected to the State Senate, and on his first appear.
ancc in that body was chosen its President. Hs was
elected Governor by tho general concurrence Of al
parties in December 1885, and held tho Office At tho
time of his death. Few men h ave enjoyed q larger
share of the confidence Of the State, than Gov No
DLE, and he discharged the duties Of all the various
Offices he has occupied with impartiay, ability and
dignity. -.,..
According to the Constitution the L;utenant Gov
eruor, DR.. B. Il. HsSEcAN. Of Marlborough, sue.
ceeds to the Executive Chair ior the remainder Of
the term, which expires in December next.

CONGRESS-.

The doings Of this body since our last notice have
been Of very uninteresting character. Its business
was of course interrupted, partly by the death Of the
Hon. THApDErs Belts, and partly by the want Of OF.
der and decorum among the members. Mcsus.
BOND, MEDLL, and WELLER, of Ohio, got into a dis
orderly debate, and produced great excitement and
uproar in the House, but it is said "theydd not quito
get to blows"
The Senate has passed bill authorizing the Pres
dcn 10 raise 800 men TO during the against
the Indians in Florida. The appropriation bills arc
before the Io4se, and to judge of the future by the
pnst it would be well 10 pass them and adjourn, for
long session does not promise 10 be productive Of
any good TO show theindiferonce of members to the
public business it is said Is be difficult to procure the
attendance Of quorum, and on one occasion, only IS
members were prcsont 10 vote.

The f.llowing Resolutions were adopt
ed by the Democratic party of Lincoln
county, N. c. at meeting on the 9th inst.
RcsolUcd, That strict construction of
the Constitution Of our Federal compact is
i'm accordance with the intention of its
trainers is essentially requisite to the per-
pe,uty of the Union. and is, in fact, the
great pillar upon which our liberty rests.
Rcsolped. That the incorporation of
United States Bank-thc appropriation of
money fcr purposes of internal improve
men,-lhe levying Of duties on the labor
of one class Of men for the advancement
of another-the assumption Of the debts
of the individual States, either directly or
indirectly, by the Federal Government,
are in direct conflict with such conslruc-
ton.
Resolred, That no more revenue ought
to be collected from the people than is ne
cessary to meet The wants Of the Govern
ment.
Resolred, That the Federal Government
ought to have no connection with Banks,
and cannot cons!ituIionally or expcdicntly
collect and disburse its revenue through
their agency.
Resotped, That the only safe and consti-
tutional method of collecting, keeping and
disbursing the revenue Of the Govern
ment is that contemplated by The "Inde-
pendent Treasury Bill"
Rcsolucd, That we are opposed TO the
election of William Henry Harrison to the
next Presidency,
Because he is latitudinarian in his con-
siruction Of the Constitution:
Because he is in favor of United States
/ Bank.
Because he is in favor of internal i'm.

GEN. HARRISON.

The Hon. JouN NJ. BERRIEy of Georgia, has been
called from various quarters for the publication Of
letter, addressed to him, some time SINCE by Gen.
HARRISON expressing his opinions on various ques-
tons Of National policy. In reply Mr. Berrien
states that after dgent search he has been unable
to find the letter, but has perfect recollection Of it,
contents, which are as follows viz:
The letter embraced three points,
]. Gen. Harrison denied the right Of Congress to
abolish slavery in the States, in the District Of
Columbia.
2. lie expressed the opinion that the tariff COM
promise onght to remain undisturbed. 49,.

MORE DARING ROBBERIES.

After respite Of two or three weeks the rogueS
have again commenced operations with renewed ri-
gour. On "Wednesday nigh. last, the stores of
Messrs. JONES & HuensoN, ard Of Mr.. Jonx 6. SHAW
were boil! broken open, and robbed Of all the money
Left in them; the amount however, was fortunately
not very large Mcssrs. JONES & HronsoS lost about
twenty dollars only.
The iron Chest their store opened by means Of
Of the keys here being duplicates) having bean
left inadvertently in tho counting room:
The loss of Mr.. JOHN G. SHAW is between thirty
and forty dollars; no goods, or any thing else but
money was touched, that can be perceived. It Is
remarkable that in both stores, there were persons
sleeping, and the robbery was effected secretly.
and silently as not to disturb their slumben.

UThc Charleston Mercury Of the 7th instant,
mo, relative to the policy Of the Bank Of the State,
with respect to the notes of the Country Banks which
should DO received in payment Of the State Taxes,
says: 1.-The Cdmden Journal, speaking suthoritd.
trey for the Bank at that place, treats the PROPOSE
ton Of the Bank Of the State Us extraordinary,
harsh oppressive &c. &C. "Tke Editor goes on
to say that the "GcoIgctown American, does not
profess to speak automatically" leaving his readers
to suppose that this paper had prcessed to speak BY
the authority Of the Bank. BY way Of summing up
the remainder Of our article he says: "a significant
hint is thrown out by way Of conclusion, that tho
officers of the Bank of the State may be made to
feel tic anger of the Camden Bank at tho next
election
We did not intend to refer TO this subject again
and should have adhered to our determination. but
for the necessity of correcting these errors. We de-
ny that wo spoke, prctsssed to speak, authorits-
rely for the Bank of Camden; we but expressed our
own individual and unchanged opinions. We deny
that we threatened "the officers of the Bank of tho
State" with "thc anger Of the Bank Of Camden at
the next election" "a
We respectfully, as matter Of common justice
to ourselves and the Bank Of Camden, ask (bnt not
by its authority that the Mercury will publish with
this our article Of the 2lst ult. that its readers may
see how far professed to speak authoritstively,
and what was the amount Of the significant hint"
to which it refers. The Editor will farther oblige
by sending his paper, which he has heretofore
omitted to do We arc indebted to friend for I
copy of the Mercury of the eth instant.

We do not recollect that we have seen
any illustration of the extravagant more
lranscendan,ly ludcirous than the following,
a mere invention evidenlly,) copied from
a Buffalo paper, said to have been uttered
by live Hoozier:
Stranger,-1 guess you are about the
tallest kind Of coon there is in these dig
gins. Your little Buffalonian walks straight
into things, like squash vine into po.
tato patch.

Golly! amt she smashcr? Once coming
down, streak Of lightning followed three
miles and better. The Captain see it was
gaining on US little, SO he told the man
to starboard the helm and lei it 60 by. II
did 60 like horse, and we we're SO near
it that the deck passengers smelt birthstone.
The Captain felt n little cheap, at first,
about letting it beat him; and he said the
steam wasn't up, but told him he did per.
fectly right to turn ont, as there was so
many women on board, and then there
was so much iron that it drew the lightning,
and helped it along, SO it wasn't fair play.
You should have heard the thun.
der that came along after it.-lt would
have given you new idea for one Of your
articles.
Perhaps you don't know where came

you all about it. When I'm at home l
stops in the Chuckahokee diggins, in the
State Of Indiana. We raised an almighty
crop of wheat this year, l reckon nigh
upon four thousand bushels, and sPrink-
ling of corn, oats, potatoes, and garden
sass. You could hear the earth groan all
round our settlement; the crops were SO
heavy. and that's what give rise 10 the
stories about the earthquakes. 1t was
enough to make young earthquake to
hear corn grow as it did, and as 10 the po-
tatoes I'll be skinned alive if ever I saw
any thing like it. Why any Of them
warm nights, you might, just go out into
a little patch of fifty acres, close to the
house, and hold your ear down, you could
hear the young potatoes quarrelliug, and
the old ones swearing at them because
they didn't lay along and stop crowding.
calculate you didn't raise such crops in
these diggins.
Why, one day, one Of our squash vines
chased drove Of hogs better than half
a mile. and they ran and squealed as if
the old boy was after them.
