A good deal has been said in re

A COED deal has beea said IN re
lation to Secretary Whitney's effort
to. compel Mr.. Roach to complete
the Dolphin according to the terms
of the, act Of congress authorizing
her ecAstFHetion-af+d the contract
entered into by Mr. Roach under
that act, on the ground that this
way of handling the contractor has
forced him into bankruptcy. The
schedules of his assets and liabilities,
just published, convey the impress
sion that Mr.. Roach's assignment
was hardly necessary under the cir
cumstances, and if it procares him
relief from his obligations to the
government on account of the Dol
phin, Atlanta, Boston and Chicago,
may turn out in the end to have
been shreWd stroke of-business.
Mr.. Roach's assets are estimated to
have an actual value1of ,63l ,478-
25; his liabilities amount to S2,262,-
s77 81. 1t is very-sad, of-course, if
the eminent shipbuilder should make
less than he expected on his govern
m ,nt contracts, but that Secretary
Whitney has impoverished him is
not so clear. A man worth S2,3GS,
600 a may still live comfortably in.

NEED OH RAN1xIN(1 CAPITAI.IN
THE SOUTH.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Re
cord says: It is almost impossible
for trade and manufactures to reach
their full development while money
commands.sH ch exorbitant rates as
are current inthesouth. The Even
ing Capitol, Of atlanta, has lately
very clearly pointed out the disad-
vantages under which southern mer-
chants and manufacturers labor,
paying as they do from . tolls per
cent or more FOR money, in compete
tion with northern houses, where
rates run from or to G:per cent
Banking facilities in the south are
entirely Inadequate to tie volume of
trade, and this very fact seriously
hinders the growth and development
of that section. Money is almost
going a-begging in the financial cen
tres1nf the north. : Millions Of doh
lars are constantly being invested
at 3 per cent and in some cases at
even lower figures, while millions
more are now lying idle, yielding
no profit whateser~e- The owners of
this money, would, of course, be on
ly too glad to find thoroughly safe
investments at Il to 10 per cent
There is room in the south for the
investment of many millions At such
rates, and where ~thc-inyestment
would be almost or quite absolutely
safe There are good openings for
probably over 4 hundred banks
where such institutions are badly
needed, and where a very profitable
banking business would depend sim
ply upon the proper business man
agement. Possibly there may be a
good many more than 4 hundred
such places in the south, but ceI-
tainly that number could certainly
be found. Even the larger cities of
the south, with but few exceptions,
lack sufficient banking capital. Now
that the outlook for the crops is so
good and the certainty of large
volume of trade in the south so
nearly assured, there ought to be a
strong effort on the part of southern
people to place these facts before
the moneyed men of the north.
They ought to be convinced that
there are splendid openings Cor the
profitable investment of money in
establishing banks at many places
where they are now so badly need
ed With proper efforts and by di-
rect personal work we believe that
very large sums of money now idle
or yielding a small income could
readily be transferred from the
north to the south, to the great ben
eft of both sections. The south

KEEP UP THE SHELLING.
"A number of farmers of Buncombean and
Haywood have called on us this week to
urge US to keep up the suggestions in the
CITIZEN urging the farmers to plant far
more home supplies. Several said Some
of the articles which have recently ap-
peared struck them heavy, but they ap-
the matter, and were sadly
realizing the. force of what was said, All
think our people should raise some TO-
bacco, but make it secondary to ftlIl sup,
plies for man and beast at home, without
depending on the caprices of markets
for the price of tobacco, and then have
to buy their meat, corn, hay, flour and
such things from other States. We are
glad to know that much larger acreage
of corn, oats, and such things will be
planted this year than ever before, and
our farmers should keep in mind also,
root crops and winter-keeping vegetables,
such as turnipe,l beets, beans, cabbages,
potatoes, carrots, and such things, which
will not only serve man but beast
throughout the year. Our people can
make this country absolutely selfsus-
tanning, and besides have tremendous
tobacco stock and fruit crop for ship
ment, Let them work to this end.

LONDON, May 9Th, 2 p. m.
The recall of Sir Peter Lnmsden has
created general feeling of uneasiness,
as it is expected to have an adverse in-
fuence on the patriotism of the natives
of India, who will consider his recall a
further concession to Russia The Sand
ard says: 1--WE must count it piece of
good luck if the whole commission is not
recalled" -
No news is obtainable Of the appoint
ment of an arbitrator. The King of
Belgium is spoken of in Berlin as the
person most likely to be. chosen. Bis
marck has had a long interview with the
Emperor of Germany which is supposed
to have been connected with the Afghan
question. This gave rise to rumor that
both England and Russia had asked
Emperor William to arbitrate for them.
A conservative paper thinks that the
delay in finding an arbitrator foreshadows
the difficulty OF obtaining the consent of
any European State to arbitrate. Asemi
official dispatch makes denial of prev
ious rumors. The rumors are now cur
rent that the Emperors of Russia, Germ
any and Austria will meet this year.

THE RAID INTo MoecAsIN.


The RAID INTO MocCAsIN.
On Sunday night last party consisting
of officers Thomas Hood and Charles
Frost, with James Keener and William
Sneed as posse, left Highlands, Macon
county, armed with Z. S. Warrants for the
arrest of Cam KilIingsly, Will Reed, Phil
Crane and Levi Crane, some ofthe parties
charged with connection with the late
troubles at Highlands. They crossed into
Georgia into what is known as the Moe
casin country. WheE in the gap about
three miles from the Widow CraEe's, they
came suddenly upon three men, standing
in the gap or trail, and called on them to
halt, it being then pitch dark. The chal-
lenged raTties stepped back few PAGES
from the trail and opened FIRE upon Hood
and his party. The firing was briskly re-
turned. The three men then made loud
signals for help, and in a few moments a
rescuing party was heard coming up.
Hoods party followed up the pursuit for
about a quarter of mile, when they were
compelled to fall back. and ultimately to
return to Highlands, their force being too
small against the odds presented. The
only damage done, so far as known, was
slight flesh wound across the back of the
right hand Of Saeed, made BY d gun shot.
