What is Now Needed.
president CleVeland.1

think that between now and the
meeting of Congress much depends
upon the action of those engaged in
financial operations and business
enterprises. Our vast national re-
sources and credit are abundantly
sufficient to justify them in the utmost
faith and confidence. If itstead Of
being frightened they are conservative,
and instead of gloomily anticipating
immediate disaster they contribute their
share of hope and steadiness, they will
perform a patriotic duty and at the
same time protect their own interest.
The things just now needed are cool
ness and calmness in financial circles
and study and reflection among our
people.

The Commercial and Industrial AS
S0ciation of North Carolina,

At the meeting of the State Press
Association, held at New Berne last
April, Mr.. Alf A. Thompson. presi-
dent of the Commercial and Industrial
Association, addressed that body on
matters relative to the development.
As was easily to be expected, the Press
gave him full attention, and the i'm
mediate action of the Press Association
was such as to greatly encourage him
and the entire Commercial and Indus
trial Association in making further at
tempts to develop every resource of
the State through organized effort
The matters toward which the Asso-
citation first directed its efforts we're
the repeal of the merchants purchase
tax, a State banking system, and a
uniform insurance law.
The work of the Association during
last year and through the last Legis-
lature resulted in radical modification
of the purchase tax, the passage of a
State banking law drawn by Colonel
Burgwyn, of Henderson), which the
New York Journal 0f Commerce pro-
nounced the best one ever passed by
any State, and such reform of the in
surance law as was most needed.
The matters before the Association
now are: The State at the World S
Fair, the improvement of public roads,
municipal ownership of gas, electric
and watcrplants, to thc end that cheap
lights, power and water may be fur
hishcd to all manufacturing industries,
divcrsIfICatiOn Of crops and the en-
COuragemcnt Of immigration of a
proper kind.
TO deal with these matters properly,
/ the Association want the advice and
cooperation of the business clement
and talent of every town in the State.
/ Twenty-fOur now have a member
ship in The Association, viz: Beau
fort, Carthage, Clayton, Greensboro,
Henderson, kinston, LaGrange, More
| head City, New Berne, Penello, Raj
eigh, Huntington, Aberdeen, Salisbury,
Wilson, Windsor, Nashville, Pittsboro,
Sylvia, Tarboro, Waynesville, Winston
and Holly Springs.
The Association can be made a
powerful factor in developing our State
and in securing abiding benefits for all
sections of it. Every village, town
and city should be represented. Let
each one form local organizations and
send representatives to the State meet
/ ing when it comes off.
Any place may secure proper repre-
scntation in this meeting by the cleo
ton of delegates from its Board OF
Trade, or the appointment of represen
tatives by the mayor of towns in which
there may be no commercial or bust
ness organization, or in any other way
each town may deem proper.
II. w. AVER, Secretary.

After the Type Trust.

The newspapers are now called upon
and are fighting the type trust, which
las put up prices. y number of lead
ing papers will boycott the trust, and
this will make them mindful to protect
other peoples interest in trusts. The
dav of trusts will be abolished and
something more just substituted. Trusts,
cut rates, boycott, monopoly, etc, are
all far from being legitimate business.
It's force, not freedom. Arbitration
is relief to many disputants and will
have 4 wider field in the future of
trade in large and small matters.
Many men willing to 90 right are
forced to measures they don't approve
Of by wrongful and despotic labor and
money power. We believe that a
remedy will ultimately solve such
problems, through some just tribunal
or law.

Deserving Praise.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dir. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, DR.. Kings
New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve
and Electric Bitters, and have never han
died remedies that sell as well, or that have
given such universal satisfaction. We do
not hesitate to guarantee them every time,
and we stand ready to refund the purchase
price. if satisfactory results do not follow
their use. These remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

SOME NEW RULES.

A funny postmaster recently sent to
the post-office department a new set
of post-office rules. They we're:
A pair of onions will go for two
scents
Ink bottles must be corkcd when
sent by mail.
1t is unsafe to mail apple or fruit
trees with the fruit on them.
Alligators over ten feet in length
are not allowed to be transmitted by
mail.
AS all postmasters are expert lin
gusts, the addresses may be written in
Chinese or Choctaw.
Persons are compelled to lick their
own postage stamps and envelopes
the postmasters cannot be compelled
to do this.
Persons are earnestly requested not
to send postal cards with money orders
inclosed, as large sums are lost in that
way.
John Smith gets his mail from six
hundred and seventy-four thousand
two hundred and seventy-nine post
offices hence a letter directed to
John Smith, United States," will
reach him.
Ducks cannot be sent through the
mail when alive. The quacking would
disturb the slumbers of the clerks on
the postal cars.
1t is earnestly requested that lovers
writing to their girls will please con-
fine their gushing rhapsodies to the
inside of the envelope.
Nitro-glycerine must be forwarded
at the risk of the sender. If it should
blow up in the postmaster's hand he
cannot be held responsible.
When watches are sent through the
mail, if the sender will put notice on
the outside, the postmasters will wind
and keep in running order.
When you SEND money order in a
letter always write full and explicit
directions in the same letter, SO that
any person getting the letter can draw
the money.
When letters are received bearing
no directions, the persons to whom
they are intended will please signify
the fact to the postmaster that they
may at once be forwarded.
The placing of stamps upside down
on letters is prohibited. Several
postmasters have recently been ser-
ously injured while trying to stand on
their heads to cancel stamps placed in
this manner.

Wilmington Messenger. |

Whenever puclic sentiment wrongly
directed shall put stop to hanging in
North Carolina for murder and rape,
or stop it in other Southern States,
then hanging by mobs will be sure to
increase at a fearful rate. We may
not doubt this. Human life and the
women of virture must be protected
and hanging is the only way 10 do it.

The Lost Saronic.

BREMEN, Mar. 20.-The White Star
line freight steamer Naronic, which
sailed from Liverpool February II for
New York, and which has not since
been heard of, has beyond any doubt,
been lost: The steamer Coventry, from
Fernandina, arrived at this port to-day
and reports that at two o'clock in the
the marniag Of March t, when In lati-
tude ~ H., longitude 40 w, she passed
a life-boat bearing the name Naronic
The boat was floating keel upward
In the afternoon of the same day an
other life boat from the Naronic was
passed: This boat gave evidences Of
having encountered heavy weather.
Judging from appearances neither of
the boats had long been adrift, The
position of the drifting boats was south
by west OF Sable Island, on the banks
of New Foundland. There is chance
that the occupants of the boats were
picked up by passing vessel.
LIVERPOOL, Mar. 20.-A vessel which
passed Deal to-day signaled that she
had on hoard eleven shipwrecked poo-
pie, and the White Star officials say
there is strong probability that they
are part Of the crew Of the Naronic.
