Michaux, who was shot last week, is
still alive and so is Dixon who shot
him.

Everybody is invited to be present.
We have a let up on the mad-dog
scare.
We have had several forest fires in
our midst recently, and considerable
damage to fences and timbered lands
followed. The railroad company's
engines have been somewhat respon-
Sible.
The prospects for fine wheat and
fruit crop have not been better for
years.
The negro who sold stolen mule in
our place last week has not been cap
tured.

FAILED FOR FORTY MILLION
4 StupendOuS Financial Disaster Re-
ported From Australia.
ENGLISH BANKS ARE INVOLVED.
The Suspended Institution Has
Branches at Various Points in the
Colonies, and the Greatest Conster-
nation Prevailed When it Became
Known.

LONDON, April 1.-THE English.
Scottish and Australian chartered
bank has failed, with liabilities
amounting to sS,O00,OOO, or $40, ,OOO,-
900.
The bank was incorporated by royal
charter in 1852, and claimed to have
a paid up capital of 100000 and a re-
serve fund of 1910, GO0
The suspended bank has main
branches at Sydney, Adelaide, Bris-
bane, and Melbourne, and at lesser
points in the colonies of New South
Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
1t transacted banking and exchange
business between Great Britain and
the Australian colonies, and he'd l"rge
&c fj55Ius;.-
The failure has added to the anxiety
and CONSERVATION which previous re-
cent failures of financial Institutions
with Australian connections have
caused.
No approximate estimate of the as
sets can yet be given. They are sup
posed, however, to be large. The pro-
prietorS' reserve liabilities are e900,
600. The last balance sheet made
public in September, 1892, showed de-
posits of almost e6, ,000,0L0.
The only reason given for the fail
ure is that there has been for several
weeks steadily increasing with
draWal of deposits.

KOPE'S NO KICKER.
But He Has a Pail on the President
just the Same.

In an editorial ON observations
Taken at Washington City," editor
Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer,
has this to say of the district attor-
neYship fight:
"What is to be done about the Of
fees in the Western district of North
Carolina, is a question as far as ever
from solution. If Glenn is appointed
district attorney, then Gudger's
chances to be collector are best; if
Elias is appointed, Gudger's prospects
are not worth much. 1t all rests with
the President, and Elias has a pull on
him. Among North Caroinians in
Washington, Mr.. Glenn'S complaint
in the Observer of last Saturday that
the paper, through its Washington
correspondence and otherwise, leans
towards Kope, is regarded as absurd.
They say that if the Washington cor
respondence is colored at all it is col
ored for Glenn. kope has felt all along
that the Observer wasn't giving him
exactly d fair deal, but Kope's no
kicker and has never made a spectacle
of himself about it. By the way,
speaking of letters from Goy.Carr and
others, he says he is ready to make
show of hands"

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE,
The Bill as Printed Never Became o
Law.

Law.
1t appears that the bill which THE
SENTINEL printed a few days ago,
drawn by Col. Thomas II. Sutton, of
this city, placing the telegraph and
telephone systems in North Carolina
in the hands of the Railroad Commits
sion, failed to become a law.
The bill was reported unfavorable
by the committee to which it was re-
ferred, sand after being discussed, it
was laid to rest on the table.
In speaking of the matter this
morning Manager Crews, of the Win
stOn Telephone Exchange, said
''In the last hours of the session,
when members were naturally hur-
ried a bill which simply adds the
word telephone to the existing Rail-
road Commission law, was passed
without hearing being accorded
to US.
Manager Crews says that the Win
stOp exchange has not paid expenses
since it was established here,
