P1KEvILLE, N. c., June 5 1898.
Dear Argus:-This section has
been visited with copious showers
of rain, which have greatly re-
freahed the growing crops.
As was previously announced
Mrs. J. D. Carpenter began a re-
7ival here Thursday night, and
much interest is being manifested.
The congregation Sunday was un-
usually large. There were people
here from nearly all sections of the
the county. After all the seats in
the spacious hall were filed there
etill remained a goodly number of
anxious listeners outside. The
Choir, which is composed of the
young ladies and gentlemen of this
community. renders excellent
music at each meeting. Prof. G.
Ger ain, formerly of Wilmington,
who is said to be one OF the finest
organists in the state, presides over
the organ. The revival will probs
ably c~ontinne till the latter part
Of this week.
VIZ are glad to know that our
genial friend Mr.. K. B. Smith has
SO far recovered from his recent
illness as to be able to be out.

The Cotton Trade.

New York, June 5.-The Sun,
in its cotton article, saye:' Liverpool
checked the advance here and
turned prices downward. Advices
from there were decidedly disap-
pointing. Financial rumors from
the West also had a more or LEES
depressing effect, while beneficial
rains in Texas likewise contributed
to the weakness. The Liverpool
market, though it closed barely
steady, was still active. Prices der
clined seventeen to twentystwo
points and closed steady. with sales
of 10000 bales. Liverpool ads
vanced one point. hnt lost this,
barely steady, with spot
sales Of $4,000 bales.

MONEY PLENTY-CONFlDEHC
WANTED.

The business inter ests of the coun-
try have had a costly experience in
the distrust that has disturbed fnan-
cial operations. Values of unques-
toned solidity are greatly depressed
solely because the vital element of
confidence Is wanting.
There is no reason for the general
depression IN legitimate values that
is now suffered in business circles.
Money is abundant. even with the
large withdrawal of deposits by
panic-stricken depositors, but banks
cannot lend on any other than the
certain cash marketsvalue of collat-
erals, and few business men have
available resources to command
needed loans.
If confidence in substantial values
and in public and private credit
could be restored, the depression
would be speedily succeeded by a
strong reaction and it would be felt
in every channel of finance, COM
merce, industry and trade at once.
1t is not the gambling spectators
who are suffering, tits the legitimate
business Of the whole country. The
gambling and fancy securities have
passed away and will leave "a better
atmosphere, but while d~istrust, bows
ever c~auseless, prevails, there will be
continued depression.
The ore fact that the financial in
situations Of the county have been
tested and are thoroughly sound tells
the whole story of the folly of
general distrust. Not one legitimate
bank in the country That commanded
public confidence three months age
has failed or has been even severely
strained in maintaining it's credit:
and when the banks are sound bust.
ness circles must be generally sound
also.
There is, therefore, no reason for
the present distrust of credit and
values. The shipments of gold are
necessarily large when u securi-
ties are discredited; but there is lit
tie reason to doubt that the govern
ment will exhaust its powers to
maintain both public and business
credit. 1t does not need an extra
session of Congress, as the power to
Issue bonds to halt the depletion of
our gold is now admitted. It should
be exercise d only when the necessity
is imperative; but tbs time seems to
be at hand when the government
should act.
In former periods Of financial de-
preston the government held one
hundred millions or more of surplus
money III the treasury, that was
withdrawn from business channels.
A purchase Of bonds could be or.
dered, and as many millions as were
needed thus given to the relief of
trade: but now the treasury is bank
rupt, and all that the government
can do is to issue bonds to supply
the gold drained from us by our in
sane silver policy. Government cred
it is the foundation Of all credit in
the country, and the necessity seems
to beabsolute for prompt measures
by the government to halt the steady
impairment of public credit by the
shipment of golu.

THE ELECTION BILL,


The Republicans Determined Not to
Make Capital for the Democrats in
Virginia.
The republicans are taking very little
part in the discussion Of the federal elec-
tion repeal bill in the House and there is
some difficulty in preserving the eQuilib-
rum Of debate pro and con. The policy of
the republicans, it is understood, is to say
as little as possible on this question which
can be used by the democrats In the Vir-
ginia campaign to excite sectional feeling
The populists In Virginia are making a
great fight to get control of that state and
the belief Of good many leading republi-
cans Is that they may succeed. They de-
sire. therefore. to say or do nothing which
may be used for the benefit of the demo-
Gratis in the campaign.
The fight in Virginia is viewed with a
good deal more interest in Congress than
it would under ordinary circumstances ex-
cite and there Is quite a clever political
play being made on that campaign 1t is
said that some of the Senators of both
parties are anxious to have the contest
over the voorhees, bill protracted until after
the Virginia election for the effect that the
result In that state may have on the silver
question. Some of the silver men argue
that should the democrats be defeated in
Virginia, or elect their ticket by a very
much reduced majority, southern Senators
would be so alarmed by the prospect of
populist gains throughout the south that
many OF them would abandon the admin
istratfon and at once advocate some i'm
mediate and radical imitation of the cur
rency.

ODDS ARE 90 TO 40.
A Few Bets Made on the Vigilant-
Valkyrie Contest.
FOREIGNER REGARDED As DANGEROUS
Both Yachts to be Measured To-
morrow.
AMERICANS FEEL CONFIDENT.

NEW YORK, Oct s.-Lnrd Dunrayen.s
cutter valkyrie continued to draw crowds
to Robbins dock, N the .;rie basin. this
morning, but before the first Of the sight,
seers arrived her crew was busy polishing
her copper bottom and getting ready to
put & coat OF black paiut On her low free
board.
Valkyrie will be put into the water to-
morrow morning before viefiant arrives in
tow from New Rochelle, and both yachts
will be measured by AIR. Hyslop. Official
measurer OF the New York club. They 1iIl
then be towed TO the New York Yacht
Club anchorage OF Bay llidge TO spend the
last night before the AIrst of the great races
for the Americas cup.
Lord Dunraven and his yacht both made
number OF friends yesterday. Thousands
who went TO the Erie basin were greatly
impressed with Walk yrie's fine lines ana
the few yachtsmen who gathered around
ex,Commodore James J.. Smiths board at
Delmonico's In the evening were well pless-
ed with the neat speech made by Lord Dam
raven In response TO a toast
Nlgllant TOOK short spin on the sound
yesterday disappointing many who ex-
solid boom. but win give the hollow boom a
trial today.
Nalkyrie's crew were at work again this
morning securing her copper, and before
nished. "
There is but one expression from Ameri-
can yachtsmen concerning yalkyrie The
oplnlon Is quite unanimous that she is a
dangerous boat, combining all the best
QUANTITIES or a racer. She is compared TO
Coionia rather than Vigilant, as she closely
resembles the American boat
All experts depend upon Vigilant's CENTER
board for victory. Aside from this feature
II would be hard to choose between the two
poats, but American yachtsmen are conf
dent the centerboard boat will win.
A few bets were made at the HOFFMAN
House last night At odds Of 60 TO 70 IN Ia
vor OF Vigilant. This appears to be the pre-
Valling ODDS, but English money Will b.
plenty and betting is likely TO be even, e.
pecially on the second days race.

HEARINGS ON FINANCIAL MATTERS.
The House Committee at Work, but No
Sign Of Speedy Action.

Oh SPcc0y ActlOns
By the hearings which they are holding
the House committee en- banking and cur
rency are collecting a good deal of informa-
ton which they expect to be valuable to
them In the formation of financial measures
to be reported, but there is nothing in their
course Of procedure which tends to speedy
action There is a desire in the committee
to delay reporting any measure of conse-
quence until the question In the Senate is
settled, and, therefore. they are proceeding
with great deliberation. There will probably
be another week of hearings devoted to
Representatives in the House who have in
troduced financial bills. After that a certain
number of financial experts not in Congress
will be heard.
A great many heresies are being ventilated
In the committee and they expect to profit
by these as danger signals Davis, the
populist, instructed the committee today in
the mysteries OF the populst theories of
nnance and there will be others as radical
as he heard. Two measures which are be-
ing pressed and which are liable to come
out OF the committee at any time, notwith-
standing the purpose to keep back all re-
ports until after the Voorhees, bill has been
disposed Of in the Senate, are the one to
permit the national banks to issue currency
to par value of bonds and that to repeal the
tax on state banks. AS to the latter meas
ure, II Is said that the members favoring IL
are divided. some favoring unconditional
repeal of the tax and others desiring fed
eral supervision which would place the sta te
banks under as rigid control as are the
national banks. Between these two ele-
ments Ii Is believed that the repeal of the
tax Is in great danger of failing as neither
would agree to what the other proposed.

or the eleventh census has not been de-
termined. Meanwhile. Mr. James H, War
oie the chief clerk Of the census bureau.
and who. since the resignation of Robert

continues to rule the bureau. The superin-
tendency OF Mr.. Wardle has been eminently
satisfactory to the department. and his
familiarity with census work Is that which
comes from long connection with it. The
act authorizing Col. Wright to accept the
superintendency Of the census directed the
Secretary of the Interior to grant him
compensation not exceeding one-half the
salary of superintendent. As Col. Wright
draws $5,0O per annum as commissioner
intendent Of the census is 5000, he will
probably receive an annual sum Of 5000.
The time for the completion of the census
has been extended from December 81 to
sary to carry on the work during that
period has not been officially named, but 1t
will probably be about 100000. About 1000
people are borne on the census rolls. The
monthly expenditure cannot be conven-
iently determined, as the disbursing office
Of the bureau was abolished a few days

Final Trial of the U. 8. s. Detroit.


The board appointed by the Navy Depart
ment to witness the final trial Of the U. s.
S. Detroit has reported that the vessel
was at sea forty-eight hours, during which
time her battery was fired and her crew
was drilled. Certain defects, which are not
deemed material, are enumerated by the
board, which concludes its report as fol-
lows:
with the exceptions noted the board
submits the opinion:
First That the guns, gun carriages their
fittings and appurtenances work properly,
and that the ship is we'll built and SUM-
GENTLY strong to stand the shock caused by
firing.
Second. That the hull. engines boilers
and appurtenances have not, upon this
trial, exhibited any weakness. breaking
down or deterioration.
''In conclusion, the board cannot forbear
expressing their qualification as to the good
order and discipline on board, the quiet and
effective methods observable on every hand
and the evident interest taken by the COM
manding officer and his officers and men in
the work Of bringing the ship up to the
highest standard Of efficiency as a ship of
war"

THE HOUSE.

Inc call OF the committees in the House
this morning was unproductive of results.
and the debate on the federal election re-

Mr.. Northway (Ohio) in speaking against
the Measure said that it was a peculia ritv
or MS to stand by the under dog in a fight.
and realizing that the United States was
the under dog in this fight he took some
pleasure in defending that under dog He
then entered upon an argument to prove
that the laws were perfectly constitutional
he nnlshed with peroration which elic-
itea 1or MIN loud republican applause
Mr Kyle (Miss) spoke in opposition to
the federal election laws. The minority re-
port or the committee on elections of Presi-
dent and Vfve President had never been
equaled for injustice by any report that
ne mad ever read, and he denounced the
statement made in that report that Mis-
sissippi had the most perfectly operating
system for fraud yet devised in the south
He submitted that there was no good rea-
son that Mississippi should be held up and
criticised and that the election methods
north Of the Mason and Dixon line should
be open to criticism.

CHANGE OF POLICY.
President Cleveland Will Rely More
Upon His Cabinet
IN TIE MATTER OF APPOINTMENTS,
He Won't Try to Pass PERSONAL,
on Applicants Merits.
CON GRESSMEN NOTIFIED,

The President has made a radical change
In the matter of federal appointments. He
proposes hereafter to accept the recommen-
dations made by the heads of the DEPART
ments to which the appointments relate. in
stead Of undertaking to pass personally on
the merits Of the applicants in each tndi-
vidual case and making the selection him
self. He pursued this latter course during
his first administration and undertook to
continue 1t in this but the pressure upon
him for office has become so great that he
has finally been compelled, in the interest
OF his health. to abandon the task and to
divide the work Of filling the offices among
his eight assistants in the cabinet In this
ne adopts the policy of President Harri-
son and nearly all Of his predecessors in
the White House. who quickly realized the
hopelessness of passing personally on the
many thousand appointments at their dis
posal
Senators and Representatives In
formed.
Senators and Representatives in Congress
ana politicians generally have been inform
ed OF the new order of things, and now in
stead Of making personal appeals to the
President they direct their best energies to
securing the Endorsement of the members
Of the cabinet having jurisdiction In the
matter. This plan divides the work among
eight men and gives the President more
time to devote to the consideration of the
general business of the government. AL
though 1t adds to the official burden Of the
cabinet ministers 1t is said to be a re-
sponsibilty they are perfectly willing to
assume.
