NORTH CAROLINA'S DEAD.

From the Wilmington Star we take
the following interesting facts and
touching lines:
For some years on each recurring
New Years day we have published a
list of the prominent North CAROLYN
ians who died during the Old Year
just gone The preparation of the
brief list impresses us always with the
instability, the uncertainty Of human
life and the certainty Of death to
each one of us in the near future. If
five or ten years, or even twenty years,
remain what do they amount to =?
They are like a passing cloud or a
weaver's shuttle. Be We also ready.
Life is short the grave is certain the
judgement inevitable.
cart is long and time is fleeing,
Though our hearts are stout and brave;
Still like maffied drums are beating,
Funeral marches to the grave"
North Carolina was bereaved IN
deed during the year 1888. She lost
many most worthy and excellent sons,
and some of her ablest, most gifted,
most distinguished. Among those
best known and most highly endowed
who went to their graves were John
+. Poindexter, Col. Duncan McRae,
Col. John r. Winston, Maurice @.
Waddell, Frederick S. Proctor, Rev.
DIR. E. +. Rockwell, Maj. John Cat
ling, Rev. DIR. N. II. d. Wilson,
Hon William A. Smith, Rev. DIR.
George Badger " gilmore, Rev. DR..
F. NJ. Hubbard, Judge Thomas Set
tie, and Col. Robert r. Bridgers.
Among those who died who were
men Of influence. character. and use
fulness were such worthy men as Rev.
j. III. Coble, John A Moore, DR.. F.
NJ. Rountree, DIR. W. r. King, Capt.
john E. Digger, DIR. John G. James,

F. Hoke, Maj. A. NJ. Erwin and Capt.
George Sloan. The list might be ex
tended.
Some Of these esteemed North Car
olinians lived to advanced age and
fell like full shock of corn, ready
for the eternal garner. Others died
in the full strength of vigorous mid
die age, and passed away Followed by
the regrets of many friends. Others
were stricken down in the flush and
vigor of manhood efore they had
tasted of the strong vintage of success
or their intellectual powers had reach
ed their highest development. They
are gone-gone forever. They will
never again walk this earth, enter in,
to its rivalries and hopes and partic
ipate in its joys and sorrows. Al
mighty Death has claimed them and
they are now with the "pale nations
OF another world. Thanks be to
God, which giveth US the victory.

The Place for Dockery.

The Lenoir Topic very auggestively
observes:
Ga correspondent Of the New York
Herald, writing from the black repub-
lie of Hayti. says that the darkeys out
there do not appreciate the fact that
the United States sends them a negro
plenipotentiary. They want white
man. As North Carolina has been
supplying black ministers plenipoten-
tiary for Hayti, we hope that she will
continue to do go now that white
man is wanted. We propose the
name of Dockery to Mr.. Harrison
and insist upon his appointment"

CONDITION OF BUSINESS,
II, @. Dun s Co.'s Weekly Review ofIhs
Trade,

NEw YoRE, April lO,-R, G, Dun &
oompany's weekly review Of trade says:
Most OF the indications usually conisder-
ed Of value, point to genuine improve
ment in business and rather In volume
Of transactions than in profits, Crop
prospects brighten steadily, Lower
prices result in largely increased exports,
Money is abundant, railroad earnings
are increasing, and payments through
banks, yet failures in some important
branches Of trade are numerous. Col-
leCtlons are generally slower than usual;
the iron and leather Interests are embar-
rasssd by production largely exceeding
the present demand,
At Kansas City wet weather has al
tected trade and collections, and at Pitts
burgh the slow movement and weakness
IN the prices OF iron and steel products,
glass and coal affect business generally
but at Cleveland more inquiry for iron
ore Is reported aud better feeling Is
manifest. The wool market is weakening
the old supply is nearly exhausted, and
new wool being not as yet available In
any quantity, prices are most nominal,
but average for l0i grades and qualities
nearly &c lower.
The direct influence Of depression in
the iron and steel business is large, but
1t has still greater moral influence, be-
cause OF the current impression that the
price Of consumption OF pig iron affords
Q reliable barometer OF the general con.
ditlon OF business. 1t Is evident that
this impression must be modified In |
some measure in times like these, when
the consumption OF rails has declined
enormously. A Chicago publication Of
the mileage OF all roads projected fails 10
stimulate iron manufacturers, who are
well aware how many concerns are in
the market 10 purchase rails with bonds
not otherwise marketable. But when
the quantity OF iron made in rails Is de.
Quoted, the remaining consumption for
all purposes this year exceeds that OF
last year by not far from 100000 tuns
per quarter, which is surely not dis.
couraging symptom. Prices arc low,
however.
wheat Is but q shade lower and corn a
little higher than o week ago. The
rapid approach OF another harvest with
an unsold surplus in excess OF all prob.
able demands, which seems likely to be
not far from forty million bushels July
!, Is sufficient cause Of depression in
wheat, The general average Of prices is
a shade lower than week ago,
The business failures number $40, as
against 230 last week and 900 tho week
previous. For the same week last year
.he figures were 1906.
