A Card.

A Assignee of the Citizens Bank, l
desire to take this method of saying to
the depositors, and to all whom it-may
ccncerss, that at present, ! feel assured
that no one need suffer the slightest
uneasiness from fear Of loss by the as.
signment. Of course, there will be
the necessary delay, occasioned by the
few days which will be required to get
the affairs of the bank in such shape
80 that its assets may be converted in
to money, but with little confidence
on the part of depositors, and will
ingness to give us fair chance in the
matter, the assets will be far more than
sufficient to pay every cent of the
banks liabilities.
I will make public in very few
days a full statement of the affairs Of
the bank, and until then only ask for
o renewal of confidence of those inter.
ested in the successful winding up ol
the matters placed in my hands, and
if this is given, I will try to see that
in as short time as possible, every
cent OF the banks liabilities shall be
paid in full.

by the directors to the continued with.
drawal OF deposits, and thereby hangs
a tale. Suspicious misgivings have for
some time been entertained by certain
parties regarding their happy.go-
lucky method of conducting business,
but it was not outspoken to any great
extent until Friday, when the resigna-
tions of Vlce-President j. W. Hunter
and Cashier j, E. Brading were pub.
licly rendered and announced.
The cause OF such procedure was
alleged to have been relating to per-
sonai differences. but be that as it
may, it was evident that there were
eruptions smoldering beneath an as
sumed surface. Nothing definite was
known, however, until early next
morning, when the grand climax was
reached. Great excitement prevailed
all the forenoon, tongues were set wag-
ging, heads shaken ominously and
small gioups gathered on every street
corner, discussing the situation.
According to popular sentiment, the
institution was very inappropriatey
named, being, from all impressions,
simply private snap, on which to
borrow money with but little interest
or collateral.
The cause of the failure is thus as
signed to the interested parties know
ing good thing when they saw it,
and riding the scheme to Geath. fhe
officers and directors, consequently,
are severely criticised, and taking into
consideration their reckless expendi-
lures, individual axe-grinding and q
general monetary depression, the col
lapse was virtually inevitable.
Could they, however, have furnished
sufficient collateral, the whole disaster
could have been avoided, as the other
two banks in the city were quite able
and more than willing to float them
over the difficulty, could they them
selves have been made safe.
Notwithstanding the great excite
ment and nervousness always occa-
stoned by su:h occurrences, the First
National and Watauga still command
the utmost confidence of the public
and were never in a more solvent and
reliable condition.

THE LIQUOR BUSINESS.
How SoUth Carolina Proposes to Run
Her Own Saloons.

Columbia, S O., May Ex-Governor
rillman is reCsiying inquiries from all
parts OF the country as to the opera
tons OF the dispensary law of this
state which goes into effect July 1st.
The rules regulating the dispensary
we're given to the press to-day. They
provide that dispensarios must be
closed at 6 p, M. the year round. Ap-
plicants for the purchase Of liquor who
cannot write can make cross mark and
no application for one person can be
filled oftener than once a day.
A state constable or detective will b.
detailed to run down all persons sus-
pected Of infringing on the law.
The prices Of the various brands o
liquor will be kept posted in each
county dispensary, aud officers who
deviates from these prices will be dis
missed.
Governor TilImar says the cheapest
whisky will be retailed at $3a gallon
rs cents quart, 40 cents pint and 2C
cents half pint and only. the pures;
liquors will be sold. Under the law
dispensaries are not to be established
unless majority OF freehold veters
petition for it.
The governor says the state viii
make 81 profit on every gallon of liz
uor sold, and estimates that the STATE
will clear $500,OOO the first year.

THE SITUATION.
What The Bankers Think Of The Citi.
zeRs' Failure.

THE COMET interviewed the bankers
yesterday concerning the cause and
probable effects of the Citizens Bank
failure. They seem quite well salts
fled that nothing further of serious
nature will result and feel perfectly
abe to meet all difficulties arising
from the disaster.
]. E. Crandall, president of the First
Natir nal, was in cheerful mood when
seen and stated that, much to his sur
prise, their deposits were very much
in excess OF the checks for the day and
although he had come to the bank in
the morning "loadcd ior bar" there
ha not been, up to the hour OF clos
ing, the slightest indication of any ex-
citement among his depositors. He
was prepared, however, for auy emer-
gency. Besides having an unusually
large amount of cash on hand ne had
more in transit and the assurance from
other banks that any amount necessa-
ry to protect the bank in case Of a
"run" would be provided. He did not
think it likely that there would be any
trouble OF this nature. He declined
to express an opinion as to the cause
of the failure but stated in reference
to the report that the Citizens and
First National were TO be consolidated
that such an arrangement would have
been made but after thorough exam
ination the directors of the First Ma
tional declined to enter into such ne
gotiations.
The stockholders OF the 1st National
Bank are men of large means and be
ing held liable to de2ositors for twice
the amount OF their stock, under ma
tionsl banking laws, render this in
stitution perfectly solvent.
A. B. Bowman, president, and G. w
st. John, vice president, were as calm
as If nothing unusual had happened
when I called upon them in their pri
vate apartment at the Watauga Bank
They do not anticipate any trouble al
q result OF the failure but we're ready
for anything that might come. They
stated that they wero willing tole tn,
Citizens have funds to tide it over j
it would have averted the disaster bu
were led to believe that it would not
as the "run" would likely have con
tinued.
| The Watauga Bank is composed 0
some of the most substantial men il
this section, who, if necessary, coul'
and would put up $4,000 for each 81 o
on deposit in the bank, so their nee
be no uneasiness in that direction b
parties who are so fortunate as to hav
money to their credit there.
All are resting easy and can see n
cause for alarm. They are highly az
: yreciative of the confidence repose
by the public in them and there is NJ
the least probability Of that conidenC
being betrsyed.

"The Citizens Bank has this day

Congressman McMillln Tells What
Congress VIII Do.

Washington, D. c., May 29-Con
gresham BentonS McMillin, of Ten
nessee, is one Of the few Congressmer
who still remain in the city. HIS rea
son for remaining here does not ap-
pear to be SO much for the pupose o
getting offices for his constituents a,
it is to confer almost daily with
President Cleveland on the ysriou,
topics that will come before the ncxt
Congress
Mr. MoMiIIin, it will be remembered
was the Cleveland candidate iol
Speaker at the opening Of the Fifty
second Congress. During the entire
last Congress he was the virtual leader
OF the House, owing partly to The i'll
ness OF Mr.. Springer, the Chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee, and
more particularly to the fact that be
was looked upon as Mr.. Cleveland's
personal representative on the fool,
In the next Congress Mr., McMillin
will be selected by President Cleveland
to be e;th.r the Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, or if the "stu.
dent in politics" Representative Will
son, is made Chairman, Mr.. McMilliu
will be the leader Of the House in all
debates.
To your correspondent to-day Mr.
McMillin gave the following outline OF
what The Fiity.third Congress will do
REPEAL ELECTION LAWS.
"The first thing the Fifty.third Con.
gfess would do viii be to repeal the
Federal Election law. The Demo
cratic party is under q moral obliga-
ton to do this, andto do it at once
"How about the reduction in the
tariff?o
"That reduction will take place Inc
cut viii be made pretty deep in some
places, but with proper appreciation oI
the condition Of the country"
"Where viii there be raise in tbe
taxation, or will there be any such
RAISE? lie was asked
There will undoubtedly be a raise
of the tax on spirits, by which l mean
whisky and the like"
"Do you think there will be an in
come tax passed."
"This is highly probable. In my
opinion there ought to be an inherit
ance tax just like the laws Of New
York provide. Such a law is about
the best to raise taxes-that is, it is the
fairest. The next best tax is the in
come tax. 1t is a fair one, and has
worked we'll wherever tried"
THE SILVER sNAG.
"What do you think will be Tic
course OF Congress in regard to silver?
There is the greatest difficulty tha
will confront us. No one can tell a
this time will be done. There must b.
a spirit OF concession on both sides
If this course is pursued we will ge
through all right. With the repeal 0
the 10 per cent. tan on State banks,
modification of the tariff in y sure
enough tariff reform spirit and legisla
ton as / have suggested above fo
raising revenues by sn inheritance O
income tax, which | believe will b
enacted, great relief will come to th
people"
1t is worthy OF note that Mr.. McMil
lin says modification" Of the tariff
There is q vast difference between tn
modification" which Mr.. McMillit
predicts and the demand for almos
free trade Of the Chicago platform.

A Civil War Threatened.

A despatch from Denver, Col, says
that there is danger Of civil war be-
tween the Mormon sheephe riders of
Utah and the Wyoming and Colorado
catllemen. Bloodshed is already report
ed from Plateau county. The cattle
men have always held the great ranges
in Colorado without invasion, but re-
Gently the immense shepherds of
Utah have been driven that way by
Mormon herders. The sheep "slobber"
over he grass on which they Craze,
and the cattle will not touch it after
that. For this reason the caltleherders
find their immense herds in danger of
being widely scattered and lost. They
have attacked the invading shepherd
ers by throwing dynamite bombs a.
mong the sheep, killing nearly 1000
head. The sheepherders retaliatcd by
burning out the house and ranch of
Emanuel Drank, one of the best known
cattleman, and destroying very valu-
able cattle imported for breeding pur-
poses All of The mining towns have
been visited in the past two or three
days by the cattle ranchers and sheep
herders, who have bought enough am
munition aud firearms for II civil war.
