Attempt to Break in Stores.

Unsuccessful attempts were made
Wednesday and Thursday nights to
enter the store-rooms occupied by the
Chinese laundry, w. p. Ormsby's Mu-
sic house, and the Express Office, in
the Starbuck block ON Main street.
The parties, who of course were un-
known, tried to effect an entrance
through the doors on the East side of
the building. They were frightened
away each time by the occupants of
the building firing at them. The Chi
namen showed their pluck by free
use of their pistols.

CONFEDERATE PRESS.
The Use to Which Parts Of it Have
Been Applied.

A lady of Winston has brass and
iron which has just been repaired.
The incident would be an ordinary
one but for the fact that the repairs
were made from brass parts of the
press on which Confederate money
was printed in Richmond during the
civil war. The press was taken from
Richmond to Washington where it
was broken upand the brass parts came
into the possession of Mr.. j IN. Davis,
of GIG Church street, who repaired the
andiron. The lady for whom the work
was done was the daughter of Major
Huske of Fayetteville.

Makes Some Changes in Requirements
for the Masters Degree.

CHAPEL HILL. N. c., Nov. 22-The
faculty of the University by recent
action have made graduates of the
University eligible for the Masters
degree without residence at the Uni
versity A change has also been made
in the requirement of studies. The
candidate is now allowed to select from
the advanced studies offered at the
University any three that he prefers:
provided that candidates for the de-
gree of master of arts must select
Latin or Greek as graduate study,
unless one of these languages has al
ready been pursued as an elective in
the undergraduate courses, in which
case no further study of these lam
guages is required. Those pursuing
nonresident courses are instructed by
correspondence. Regular courses are
assigned each candidate, and compre-
bensiye examinations are required.
No degrees are awarded non-residents
in less than two years of study, and
longer time may be taken if desired
by the candidate. The fee of SO is
required for registration at the begin
| ing of the course; the fee of SO is
required when the examinations are
held, and the fee of So is required when
| the diploma is received.

The local banks have decided
that the notes which they may here
after accept for money loaned must
contain a clause to the effect that
they shall be paid in gold coin OF
the country. Some city banks have
already done this and in all hkeli-
hood every one of them soon viii.
The reason is nothing more or less
than the prevailing agitation for a
double money standard. This agi-
tation has now gone SO far that the
banks see they must prepare to pro-
tect themselves in case the bill
should pass and this is the only
way in which they can do 60.
Their example is likely to be follow
eb by Others and il need surprise no
one if in a short time all CONNER
cial paper shall be adorned with the
stereotyped legend payable in gold
coin. "-[Red Wing Advance Sun.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN or THE WIS
C0NSIE WEATHER SERVICE.
IN connection NTH lie u s. Dept Of Agri-
culture, Weather Bureau, for DE
0eek ending Apra Oh, 1892.
BULLETIN NO. /.

Winter wheat and rye seem to have
passed through the winter in much
better shape than was expected. 1t
was thought by many that frequent
thawing and freezing had broken off
many of the tender roots, but nearly
all our reports to-day show the crop
in fair condition, and fully three
fourths of our correspondents consid.
er 1t in excellent shape. The drought
which prevailed during the fall seed
ing, and which was viewed with much
apprehension at the time, may have
been blessing instead of a misfor-
tune. 1t is probable that its slow ger
minatiOn and the limited number of
roots formed placed the crop in better
shape to encounter the unfavOrable
conditions of winter.
The ground is well stored with mois-
ture, December, January and Februa-
ry have given precipitation considera-
bly, above the normal. and with warm
weather all vegetation will probably
come forward rapidly.
Notwithstanding the cold of the
past two days, which will probably be
but temporary, the season is slightly
in advance of last gear.
Flowing and seeding are just begin
ming in the extreme southern counties,
and will probably be general through
ont the state between the 18th and
Goth.
The meadows are generally in fine
shape and to-day give promise of a
good hay crop. Many meadows of old
clover are reported winter killed, but
little or no damage has been done to
the new fields.
Stock has wintered well. and, all
things considered, farm conditions
aud prospects are good.
