their turn responded with accuracy and
confidence to the intricate questions pro.
pounded, and amid many greetings of
appreciation, which thoy received with
becoming modcsty. made way for tho
sophomore classes, under the able super.
vision Of Professors Riley, Holmes and
Ferguson, who led them triumphantly

In tho evening. q concert was given
The performers wero selected from the
department Of music, under the guild
ance of Miss Sarah Hoke. the director of

ccllent rendition of each piece, and i'm.
pressed with the conviction that Miss H.

On the whole, from the perspiouous
answers and thorough aptitude dis.
played, all present must havs concurred
with your correspondent in attributing
their success to cultivated and we'll

application, both on the part of pupils
and teachers.

NJ. Babinet is Freuchman. He is. of
course, inventive. His invention is also
equally, OF course, something on a grand
scale. and novel. NJ. Babinet would do
nothing less than change the climate OF
Western Europe. The land OF the oak
and the pine should be made to yield the
cypress and myrtle. the violet and mag.
nolia. The only thing needed to effect
this, is to dam up the Gulf Stream where
it turns upon itself in the Atlantic. and
drive it back again to Europe. The Cape
Verde Islands would supply the necessa.
ry materials. M. Babinet has rival in
NJ. Malapert. The latter would produce.
by peculiar method, the rains, fogs and
mists to water the cypress and myrtle,
the violets and magnolias of the former.
And here the nsefnl Gulf Stream, which
will soon be getting proud its import
ance, comes in again. Th. .iulf Stream
and the Southwark Aoating leo produce
rains. NJ. Malapert proposes TO employ
powerful vessels to tow the icebergs
quickly South, 40 that they will melt
moro rapidly, and the rains will be
heavier. Indeed, under such circum.
stances, there is nothing to prevent rain
being ordered rs wanted; and the an.
nouncement in times OF drought that the
Government had ordered the feet to tow
down few icebergs. would allay all ap.
prehensiOn.

There has been little if any change in
the condition of local monetary affairs
during the past week. The banks have
refused loans to all, and in consequence
there has been large amount of bust
ness paper put upon the stl eet for dis
count Rates there have RANGED from z
"a p cent. q mouth, but now a change
is gradually approaching that will for
time, at least, relieve the curbstune phil.
osophers of the very heavy burdens they
have been compelled to carry, and IN
crease the number of visitors at the
banks. Cotton is moving more rapidly;
receipts are better, and the money mar
ket is gradually working easier. Ex'
change has been in active de mand, and
transactions between banks hive been
at from 81 50@3 % $1,000 disco, mt, but
to-day are steady, with $40, 1000 at &c dis
count. Counter rates continue friu at
&c discount on commercial bills on
Eastern points, and fc discount on New
Orleans. The selling rate for bankers
checks on all points ruling steady at
par. Gold has ranged from lll2@ll22,
and is to-day 1928 in New York. On
round amounts dealers here bid lila
and lc less on small amounts. Local
securities are inactive, excepting tax
paying scrips, which are in demand at
$4,000 buying and selling for county
and 96@98c for State. Very little is
heard relative to railroad or insurance
stocks, and the only bonds offered for
sale to-day was a small amount Of Tip
ton county bonds, upon which several
dealers declined making an offer.
