EASK BURSTS IN RALEIGH.
The President and Cashier Run Off with
the Funds.

RALEIGH, March 21.-Iealeish has
been in state OF extreme excitement
to-day over a great bank defalcatlon
which was made public last night ut
midnight, too late TO be made known
by telegraph.
President Charles Z. Cross and
Cashier Samuel T.. White have alb
seconded with St2,OU of the banks
funds and have fled to Canada. 1t is
believed hat they have rchypothecated
large amounts Of the banks paper i'll
New York, and that the total loss will
reach $3OO,WU, and possibly S23O,O
although, of course, this cannot he def
nitely known for Il day or two, as the
bank examiner, who was ordered here
to-day, will not arrive until tomorrow.
News of the trouble was known to the
bank directors last night, and special
meeting was held at Il late hour. The
last quarterly statement of the bank,
made in February, showed that there
were $3O5, ,MN of deposits subject to
check. 1t WAS shown to the directors
last night that the sum due dcpositors
was S222,OW, due the Park Bank Of New
York S63, 900, due two banks here
SD, 900. 1t WAS shown further that the
bank ought to have the following as
sets: S5224 900 in notes and S13,W0 in
mortgages on real estate. How many
of the notes were rehyyothccatcd is not
known.
The defaulters left 81, 900 in cash to
deceive the teller. Both White and
Cross had lately been in Canada osten-
Sibly on the business Of Ehe bank. Both
had also been in New York. On Thurs
day they asked Il bank at Richmond
and 4 bank at Baltimore to send them
S1U,0GO each, saving they would give
drafts on the Park Bank to cover this
amount. On Friday night they got
so, coo from these banks by express.
White got it and never put it in bank
at all. On Saturday afternoon both
men left here At Greensboro they
were seen on Sunday morning, and a
conductor who knew them both well,
remarked: "Iou look like you were
bound for Canada" That Was the last
seen of them.
1t was learned to-day that last Thurs
day they told their wives they would
be in Canada this week.
The bank waS closed to-day Win q
notice that it was closed by order fthe
directors. The State had Sl4.nn0 on de-
Dosit of its general fund, and $500 of a
fund for the deaf and dumb and blind
institution. Recently $4,000 of money
from the Hatch bill for the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College had
been deposited there by w. S. Primrose,
president of the trustees OF that college.
People far and near have been bitten
hard by the failure. 1t struck all classes
here. People have great confidence in
other banks in the city, and there was
no run on them. Both Cross and White
were connected with the church, the
latter very prominently. Cross was
young, and was for years a clerk in the
State auditors office. He had been
president Of the bank two years. White
had been cashier ever since the bank
was established, nearly twenty years
ago. The banks capital was S2O0,O0o.

WAITING FOR THE FLOOD.
4 Terrible State of Suspense Along the Low
lands of the Missouri River.

SIOUX CITY, March 6.--Thc situation
on the river here is practically unchang-
ed. The weather again turned cold on
Saturday highland three inches ofsnow
has fallen since. The gorge opposite the
citv has been augmented. Georges five
miles above and opposite the mouth OF
Sioux River, as we'll as one ten miles
above, opposite Jackson, Neb., still
hold. This makes the situation serious,
because the flood is pouring down the
river still furthcrup. The present condl-
tions are almost identical to those pre-
ceding the great flood of 1882. The flood
lies deep along the Missouri Valley.
There is Il series of gorges in the river
from here to scventy-tiveo or one hundred
miles above here, while the upper Mis-
souri, and its continents have broken up
and are flooding. Ifthe weather turns
warm disastrous floods must ensue. \
great amount Of property is exposed
here, and there is intense anxiety
throughout the lowlandS along the
river.

Low taxes" should be the watch
word in the coming State campaign. 1t
is said that South Carolina pays q
higher State tax than majority OF her
sister States. There has been gradual
increase in the rate since 1877. The
increase is not apparent, but that such
has been the case is true. The rate
appears low enough, but there has been
a new assessment Of property, the value
of which has been raised. So larger
sum of money is realized than ever be-
fore. The new offices created renders
this necessary if they are properly sup
ported.
If other States prosper and sustain
good government at q lower rate we
may do likewise. There are many
ways in which reduction can be made
without impairing the efficiency OF our
government.
The true Democratic idea is to levy
taxes only for the absolute necessities
of an economical administration of the
laws. Anything beyond this is OPP
pressive and against the traditions OF
the party. Our people are not IN con-
dition to furnish luXuries.
Our people then should select those
only who are unequivocally committed
and pledged to the lowest possible rate
Of taxation consistent with good gov
ernment.-Abbeville Medium.
Low taxes is something everybody
desires, but we would like for our
cotemporary to tell US how we are to
have low taxes with big appropriations.
The money must come from some
where to meet the appropriation. Bet
ter demand smaller appropriations by
our legislators and the creation of fewer
useless and extravagant offices, and
taxes will of necessity be lower.
While on this subject we would be
glad to ask our cotemporary to point
out some expenditures and offices that
can be dispensed, and thus save the
appropriation made for them. 1t is
easy to be constantly crying, Glow
taxes and economy. It is popular to
do so. What we desire to know is
where this reduction can be made.
What offices cut off. Where reduce the
appropriation bill. Nothing can be
gained by riding the abstract question
of low taxes and economy as a hobby
Let US go TO the core of the matter and
point out wherein reform can be COM
menced. What office would you lor
off? What appropriation would you
make smaller Give us something that
we can take hold of in this discussion

A Skillful Confederate Surgeon.

TFrcm the Atlanta Constitution.
The undersigned was of the union
force engaged in action with Hampton $
legion, before Richmond, on October Is,
ami having been wounded, am dcsirouS
of finding the surgeon who, now beng
unknown to me, performed an opera
ton upon my left arm. At the time, |
was commanding company {, 3rd rCgl-
ment New York calvary, and was tax
Ell prisoner October Z. The operation
referred to-renloving the elbow JOINT
of the left arln-was performed on the
field on the right hand side Of the Dar-
bvtown road, about four miles from
Richmond. 1t was done in Il tent, and
there were two surgeons present. The
operation turned out to he OF Il rellarka-
bic character and am very anxious to
find the surgeon who did it, if alive, in
order that he may be made aware OF his
skillful work. If he should bc living,
and this meet his eye, it would he 4
great pleasure for me to send nm a
photograah of my arm, to he followed
later bv visit OF myself.

The operation alluded to was what is
known us 4 rescction or eNcisiOn OF the
elbow joint, and was no doubt perform
ed by DR.. b. w. Taylor, of Columbia :.
G., who was the division surgeon OF the
command alluded to. The reScctlon OF
the elbow joint was performed many
times during the war, by both Conted-
crate and Federal surgeons, but was
not attended with the success that fol-
lowed rescctions of the shouIderJolnt.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH.
Thirty New Cotton and Woolen Factories
Since January 1, and Eighty-six
Woodworking Mills.

CHATTANOOGA, March 26.-The
Tradesnan's reports Of new industries
actually organized and erected in the
South since january l, 1883, indicat. no
abatement in its industrial growth. The
reports show great activity in cotton
and wooden factories. Within the past
month thirty new companies have been
formed, and in most cases all the neces-
sarv stock has been subscribed. There
is also much activity in mining opera
tions, the total number of mining and
quarrying Companies formed in the
South since January l, being fifty-siX.
In woodworking branches, however,
the development has been greatest, the
whole number of new plants in three
months being eighty-siX. Reports also
show that Southern timber lands are in
demand, chiefly by ;umbermen from
the Northwest. Over 5OO, ,000acres have
been sold since January l. Northwest
ern manufacturers are erecting mills IN
various Southern States.

and character of business Of every man
ufacturing enterprise organized in that
section since January l. The report
shows that while there were somewhat
fewer large manufacturing and mining
companies organized during the last
! three months than for the same time
of 1887, there was large increase in the
number and diversity Of small in
duStrieS.
The Record reports that all over the
south small industries are springlng up
to supplement the great iron works
which are now under construction.
| During the second half of the year
about fifteen or twenty of the immense
iron furnaces, which were commenced
in the early part of 1887, will go into
blast. The number Of new enterprises
reported during the first quarter OF
lSSS, compared with the same time in
1887, was /, 1,G75 for the former and 923
for the latter. The amount of capital
and capital stock represented by these

The Barnwell People is opposed to
inviting immigration to our section,
even in the shape of Northern capital
lists who desire to invest their money
among us. Our cotenlporary quotes the
prophecy of Alex. II. Stephens, THAT
Northern capital would absorb, first,
the railways Of the South, next the
trade of her citizens, and next the lands
of the country,' and adds that this
prophecy ''conies up with new force,
and TOO many of our people are eager to
forward its unhappy accomplishment" "
Well, suppose it does, and these men
become citizens Of our section, their
money is added to ours, and puts that
much more capital and business III our
section. If these Northern men come
here with their money and invest it, it
only adds to our wealth, and by build
iny factories and establishing manuf;tc-
turing enterprises, only helps to give
employment to our people. We can
see nothing Very alarming i'll it.

"The organization of capital against
labor is Lad. The organization Of labor
against capital is equally bad. Fair
wages and fair play will do more in a
month to get and keep things level
than all the fights that were ever plan
ned. Both the wage Garner and the
capitalist have interests in common II
they don't see that, we shall have
thunder and lightning by and by"
The sooner this is realized by both
labor and capital the better it will be
for both. Their interests are interests
in common, and the sooner this fact is
realized the better for both. Strikes,
we fear, are gaining ground. When
the laborers become better organized, as
they surely viii, if these things contin-
ue, they will have more power. This Is
going to he very troublous question
by and by.
