WHITE & COMP ANY ASSIGN
THEIR LIABILITIES ADMIT
TED To BIZ LARGE.

They Were Caughtin in "a Corn Cor
ner and Could Not Buck Against
the Immense Receipts-A state.
Hnemt of the FirIm-wiIl White
Put in His Private Fortune tn
Make Good the I.OssesP
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-S. V. White &,
Co. have sent the announcement of their
assignment to the stock exchange.
The company say that their assign.
ment is due to corner in a corn deal
and that their interest in the stock or
bond market is very limited
The liabilities OF the firm are very
large, but only few hundred shares OF
stock are outstanding on contract.
The climax of today's assignment has
heen approaching elimination Tor the
last two weeks. The volume OF business
IN railroad stocks during the last three
days has diverted, to some extent, atten-
ton from speculation and investments
in breadstufs, and the members of the
embarrassed firm have been able to con-
ceal their actual financial condition
without the slightest difficulty and so
lar as the gcneralOperators on the street
were concerned no question as to the
CnIyanpv nI th.. e., l.,
thought of. 1t was only after very
complete review of the situation that it
was decided to make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors.
There are no contracts outstanding
on the floor OF the took exchange and no
excitement was caused there by an an
houncement OF the failure All the mem
ItiN OF the trm were at their office and
when the announcement OF the suspcn-
SION was made L. { Stedman, the boet-
banker, as friend was authorized to
make the following statement:
The cause Of the trouble is due wholly
to the decline in corn. The house was
heavily long on September and October
corn and the immense receipts were too
much to stand"
The private fortune of Stephen b.
White, so long noted for success and
boldncss i'll speculative deals, is cstima-
ted AT 50 900. 900
A number OF firms who were borrow
ing stocks from 5. Y. White & Co. re.
ccived notice from the trm before open
ing OF business today to sell these shares
and the market took the stock with
scarcely trcmor. Put and cal holders
who had privileges tr m S V. White,
chiefly calls, and who went short against
their options, now tind themselves in the
predicament of having to cover.
The failure caused but little excitement
at the produce exchange for the reason
that but few OF the members were inter
ested in the corn deal, 1t is stated that
that the failure will affect Chicago priu-
cipally.
The price OF corn on the produce ex
change Tell l12 cents at the rews of the
failure.
Mr.. Stedman says he can give no esti.
mate of the liabilities of the firm as yet.

has he brought together finer set of
ball players and showed greater general
ship. In close game the chances for
victory are generally on his side, as his
men, becoming enthusiastic under his
leadership, frequently bat out victories
in the ninth inning. No captain has so
enriched the Golfers ot any club as he has
those OF the Chicagos. Capt Anson has
an instinct for determining the chances
young PLAYER may have for success. His
able lieutenant is the old Chicago favor
lite, Tom Burns, and next to him stands
Fred Pieticr, whose great play in the re-
cent series OF games at BROOKLYN was
feature Of the contest there. Next comes
Left Fielder RYAN and then the old Yale
College graduate, Hutchinson, whose
swift and strategic pitching has done 80
much to place the Chicago Colts team at
the head of the competition in the pres.
ent pennant race. 1t is Il fact worthy of
special note that the club has never had
team in the field that has worked to-
gcther in such thorough harmony as the
team Arson is proud in calling his colts
The fight for the pcnnant is between
Bost"n and Chicago, but certainly the
chances are IN favor OF Chicago.

LONDON, Sept. % A Dutch journalist,
who is one IF he survivors of the Ital-
ian steamship Faormna, recently sunk
after a collision off Cape Collonna BY
the Greek steamship Thessalia, has writ
ten letter in which he makes serious
charges against the Italian officers. He
says that the Faormina's S crew, headed
b" the first officer, basely deserted the
captain and that thev "clambcred like
rats" on board the Scala. Only hand
tnI OF sailors, the journalist adds, re-
NAMED loyal and they were unable to
lower the Faormina's boats, which were
filled with miscellaneous articles, and so
securely fixed and sheltered from the
sea that it was impossible to launch
them.
Continuing he says the passengers
could not find any life belts, life RATS or
and llte saving apparatus of any kind
and he attributes the great loss of life
(about 66 drowned) to these defects.
In conclusion this Faormina survivor
comments strongly upon the company
to which the sunken steamer belongs for
sending the steamer so badly equipped to
sea with a large number of passengers.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY

The way to make money is
to save it. And the way to
save it is to have your pre-
scriptions filled at Carmi-
chael's drug store, and you
will find by doing so you will
save from 25 to 30 per cent.
on every prescription. We
do not take goods that the
people know the price and
mark down to cost, and then
charge two prices for a pre-
scription to make up the loss.
You know clerk hire and
house rent must be paid and
the profits must be averaged
some way. A hint to the wise
is sufficient. A full line of De-

NEW LIFE AT CHAPEL HILL
DIR. WINSTON MAKES MANY
CHANGES.
All Seem For the Better - Great
Improvements in MANY Depart
ments-New PrOfcssOrs-Atten
ance OH Il ayers Compulsory.

CHAPEL HILL, Sept. 21.- Special =
The prosperous opening Of the Universe
ty last week, with its newly elected pres
ident, Dr. Winston, in full charge, seemed
the signal for a practically new life in
this institution. Never before have there
been so many changes Tor the better,
Our new president has infused every
department with some of his own pro-
gressve spirit, and great results may be
expected from the many beneficial re-
forms so far made.
No better evidence of the hearty desire
of the student-body to cooperate with
the faculty in suppressing any form of
hazing could be desired than their be-
havior at the opening OF the session. To
the large Freshman class of eighty or
more men, the most courteous treatment
was shown, and no trace of rowdvism
could be seen i'll anv actions of the older
students.
The greater part of the appropriation
ebtained from the last legislature has
been used in renovating the south build.
ing, which, when COMPLETED, will present
an almost new appearance. An increase
III rent has been made for rooms in this
building.
Great imp rovements have been made
in other departments too. The gvmna-
SUM has Just received additional appa-
ratus at a cost of $500. Gvmnastic
training is now compulsory to the stu
dents. Besides the ordinary course OF
exercise, boxing and fencing are taught.
The 10000 or more books forming our
library have been entirely recatalogued
and rearranged, and now is one of the
most useful branches of the university.
The biological laboratory has been
novel into room formerly used for the
library of the Phlanthropic society, in
the new east building. The department
OF natural history now has the three
divisions of biology, geology aud miner
alogy. To the faculty have been added
the following DIR. Kemp p. Battle, in
the chair OF history, DR.. Karl p. Har-
rington, in that of Latin; DR.. Henry V.
Wilson, in that OF biology, and instruc-
tion in chemistry, mathematics. English
and mineraogy,
Many changes too have been made in
university regulations. Attendance on
prayers is compulsory, When the chapel,
which is now being remodeled with the
money so kindly donated TOR that pur-
pose by Mr., d. G. Worth, of Wilmington,
n, G., is completed, each student will
occupy a liked seat.
A,gratu,ty system like that in vogue at
Amherst College, has been instituted, by
winch a student is allowed to miss one
recitation week without having to ac-
count tor such absence.
Reports will be sent out only after the
hnal examinations in December, March
and June. On the whole, the University
seems determined that lack Of energy
shall not be attributed to ANYBODY or
anything connected with the university

Is often found in the neglect of ones

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

This is st. Patrick's day and the
Irish will celebrate it in all the lead
ing cities of the world. They will
weave the shamrock and make
merry because with them it is a
natio al holiday Away back down
the centuries, almost beyond the
reach of tradition, comes an account
of how a hoy, Patrick by name, was
stolen from his home on the banks of
the Solway by an invading party of
Scots ana Picis ana carried to the
opposite coast of Ire and and sold
into slavery He was slave to a
cruel master for six long years, work
ing in the fields, in the valleys, or
tending the fiocks on the mountain
tops. He was religiouSly inclined
and as a consequence he lOnged for
freedom. At the age of Il years he
escaped and began his fight for an
education, After eight years had
been spent in the prosecution of his
he started out to convert Ire
land, and from that blessed day he
has been recognized as the apostle of
the Celtic race.

County Bridges.

1t is time Montgomery county was
waking up on the question of
bridges. Here we are for weeks that
the people, at the very time they
want do their trading and prepare
for seed time, when they can do
nothing else, are cut off from the
city, and the only two bridges Cloth
tolD by which they enter, are cut oil
by reason the water over the pixies,
making it impossible to approach
them, when at comparatively small
cost this difficulty could be over
come. Montgomery is behind every
county in the State, and also in Ken
lucky in the matter of bridging
streams. Even our little sister,
Cheatham county, had bill passed
by the Legislature the other day, au-
thOrizing the county to issue bonds
for $4,000 to build a bridge over
Cumberland river. Why can't
Montgomery do the same. Certainly
the people of the south side are en-
titled to bridge over Cumberland
river opposite this place. Why
should they be kept poor all of their
lives paying tolls to get to market
A good bridge opposite this place,
where all could cross, would inspire
enterprise and advance the value Of
land on the south side sufficiently to
make the increase in taxes pay the
cost of bridge in few years. Be
cause the county has something Of
an old debt hanging fire to pass over,
we are pursuing the do-nohing
policy and making matters no bet
ter. 1t is like a mans buying a
farm on IA credit and undertaking to
pay for it by cultivatng the land
with worn-out tools, and broken
down teams. He only Injuries his
land and gets the deeper in debt,
when good teams and tools and en-
ergetic work would enable him to
pay out. Strangers writing in regard
to coming here to establish new en-
inquire about the condition
Of roads, streams, bridges, etc
What do good roads amount to un.
less we can have bridges to cross the
streams. Montgomery county must
get out of this and goa better gate.
Let the south side and every district
in the county hold meetings and de.
mand of the County court and city
good bridges, free bridges, over every
stream.

rheumatism the greater part of the
time for nearly seven years. At times

great deal for it with physicians and
tried electric belts, patent medicines
and almost everything that is recon-
mended for rheumatism. Finally a
neighbor advised me to try Chamber
lains Pain Balm and was so sure that
it would help me that | procured Il

The election of Gen. Palmer, in
Illinois, is a victory for the people,
won by Democracy over the methods
Of Republican plutocracy and bar
gain and sale of high offices. 1t is
the triumph Of principle in the voice
of the people. Gen. Palmer had the
courage to proclaim the method Of
choosing Senators by the people, and
in the face Of great majority, with
the money bags against him, led to
victory and established himself as
chieftain worthy of all confidence
and admiration.
