There has never been a time in the
history of the United States when there
was more need for confidence in
business affairs. In these days when a
whisper against the good name of a
bank starts a run which results in the
ruin of the bank and failure and bust
ness stagnation for the towns, let every
one be calm and hopeful, putting
aside all sel6shness, place implicit con-
tldence in the wisdom of the bank
managers. Greensboro banks while
they are forbidden by their directors
to lend money are in a better con-
dition to stand run than they have
ever been. The foolish runs made by
deposltors elsewhere on banks have
made them wary and careful about
letting out money. People who have
money to loan should let it out at
once, and i'll this way help loosen up
things and restore confidence. The
enormous fruit and grain crop should
certainly bring a great deal of money
into the country at least.-Greensboro
Patriot.

OFFICE seekers in Washington must
be very low spirited just now. Mr..
Cleveland has gone 10 his summer
home at Buzzard's Bay, to be gone
until August, and the announcement
has been given out that no more
presidential appointments will be made
before his return.

WHAT is to be done with the deadly
cigarette? Three or four young men
have recently died in certain small
North Carolina town from disease
contracted by this habit. The evidence
of two young men in a murder case
was dlscredited lately because they were
slaves to cigarettes. There are boys
in Henderson and all over the country
who have seriously injured their health
by smoking. There is law in this
State prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
to boys under II years of age, yet
they continue to smoke them every
day. Why not enforce the law against
those who sell them the poisonous
cigarette? Why should such disregard
of the law be excused?

The Spanish Infanta Eulalia, who
recently visited Chicago to see the
Worlds Fair and to take in other
sights OF this magnificent country, has
just reached her home, after a quiet
voyage across the Atlantic. She said
she had enjoyed herself during the
whole period of her visit, and she felt
that she knew and respected the
Americans as she never had before.
She was completely charmed by her
enthusiastic reception, and takes great
pleasure in relating the details of her
visit to all her friends. The Infants' S
manner and language left no doubt
that her trip to America would long
remain one of her most pleasant
memories.

North CAROLINA is attracting at
tention at the World Fair. A prom
inent mining man of New York, who
has attended the Exposition, in writing
to a friend in this State congratulates
North Carolina on her rich mineral
display and says it is by far the finest
and most extensive on exhibition.

THE SILVER QUESTION AND THE
SOUTH.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Re-
fora, of June goth, speaking of the
stringency in the money market and
its effect upon the South financially,
says this:
The silver question has increased the
feeling OF financial distrust throughout
the country. Every section reports
greater stringency in money matters.
The action of India in declaring
against silver as a monetary standard
has had an unfavorable effect, but this
may be only temporary. The South
is passing through the time of trial
with credit, which will prove great
benefit to it when the feeling of con-
fidence in investments is fully restored.
According to BraAs!reefs, tfty-four
concerns suspended in the South dur
ing the week ending June 22, against
800 in the United States, of which
142 were in the West and Northwest
and ffty-three on the Pacific coast.
Of the Southern failures but nine were
over S. 900. Dividends are being de-
clared by banks and corporations
from Maryland to Texas. The State
of Tennessee will meet its July in
terest promptly. Many dividends
have been paid in advance to relieve
any pressing demands of investors.
Thus far no banks have applied for
clearing house certificates in Baltimore
or New Orleans, though nearly &c.
900, 900 in certificates have been drawn
from the New York clearing house.
The inability to realize on paper good
at any other period is the reason given
for most of the Southern failures of
the week. The local trouble at Will
mington, N. c., and Brunswick, Ca,
seems to be over. The Bank of the
Carolinas has resumed business and
is paying dollar for dollar. The Gate
City Bank creditors have been paid
in full, which relieves the situation at
Atlanta considerably. The Georgia
Central decision will settle the uncer-
tainty about that system. Chicago
passenger business is increasing South
ern railway earnings, and their stocks
have not been affected beyond the
general range of the market, except
in the case of the Chesapeake & Ohio.
The suspension of iron works in Penn
sylvania and the West may counter
balance the effect on Southern fur
naces made by the recent advance in
Northern freights. The dividend de-
clared by the Tennessee Coal, Iron &
Railroad Co. was feature of the
situation during the week.

PATIENCE and perseverance will
accomplish almost anything. A man
has just liberated himself from a
Siberian prison where he had been
sentenced for 20 years, by removing
two stones from the wall which he did
in a very remarkable way. He had
no tools with which to work, so he
applied the little water given him to
drink to the cement to soften it,
thereby enabling him to rub it away
with his fingers, and after nine years
of persistent labor he could remove
the stones, and through the hole thus
made, effected his escape.

A DISPATCH from Chicago says the
matter of Sunday opening of the
Worlds Fair is growing in disfavor
there. Last Sunday only seven States
allowed their buildings to be opened,
and the foreign commissioners have
decided to close every Sunday. Most
of the exhibits in the public buildings
now remain covered on Sunday.

The Duke of Veragua, who made
many friends while here recently
taking in the Worlds Fair, has
become bankrupt and since his return
home his beautiful home and estate
have been seized by his creditors.
The Duke made many friends while
here, all of whom will regret to learn
of this misfortune which has befallen
him, and he will deserve the sympathy
of every one.

SOME complications seem to have
arisen concerning the new South Caro-
lima dispensary law, which provides that
liquor can only be sold by the State,
and its constitutionality is now to be
tested. By the new law an effort is
being made to get the railroads to
carry whisky at prices which they
claim not to be sufficiently remunera-
tive. They will carry the case to the
State Supreme Court, and it is thought
all the troubles will not be settled
until the Supreme Court of the United
States has taken a hand in the matter.

THE Department of Agriculture is
pushing experiments with tea culture
in South Carolina, and the forthcom-
ing annual report will give glowing
account of the prospects of this indus
try in the United States. Last sum-
mer the first pickings were taken from
plants that sprouted in 1850. The
product submitted to expert tea testers
and merchants, has been pronounced
excellent and readily marketable at a
high price. 1t is declared to have
character distinct from the teas of any
other country. There is reason to
believe that it can be grown with
profit on a commercial scale. Not
requiring special curing for export, like
Chinese and Japanese teas, the leaves
can be dried for domestic trade and
sold in bricks like other herbs.-Char-
lotte Nezvs.

A DESTRUCTIVE fire broke out near
one of the entrances TO the World S
Fair grounds Monday evening. 1t
was discovered in cold storage ware
house and ice factory. The entire
loss Of life and property has not yet
been ascertained, but it is considerable.
Eighteen bodies have already been
taken from the burning ruins and the
loss of property so far is estimated at
beyond $500, 900. The warehouse
was entirely destroyed. 1t all occurred
in the face of thirty or forty thousand
visitors. Origin Of fire not stated.

two things, says Mr.. Tucker, that
commend him nightly to the popular
favor-the replacing Of Republican Of

THE United States Supreme Court
has sustained a sad loss in the death
of Justice Samuel Blatchford which
occurred last Friday at his summer
home at Newport, R. l., whittier he
had gone to spend the summer after
the adjournment of the Supreme
Court. Justice Blatchford was pro-
found lawyer and Judge, man of
indefatigable industry and OF exact
method and in his death the Supreme
Court loses one of its soundest jurists.
Paralysis was the immediate cause of
his death. He was II years of age.

THE meeting recently of Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant
at West Point, n. Y, very we'll showed
that the sectional feeling which has
SO long existed between the North and
South, the two sections represented by
these estimable ladies, is not now
nearly SO strong as at one while. Both
Grant and Davis were educated there,
and this meeting of these distinguished
ladies on such historic ground, and
their kindly bearing to each other,
though OF little importance itself, was
an incident of great sentimental signih-
canoe. 1t is peculiarly gratifying to
learn of the pleasant meeting of these
ladies, and of the cordial greetings
extended each other, which is the
greatest evidence of the healing in
fluence of time.

THERE is considerable speculation
as to who will succeed the late Justice
Blatchford, of the Supreme Court. The
names of both Secretaries Gresham
and Carlisle are spoken of, but no
official announcement has been made
of it yet, and it is not thought that
either, if rendered it, will accept. E.
]. Phelps, of Vermont, is also promi
nently mentioned for the place, but
as the deceased Justice was from the
New York circuit, it is possible sue
cessor will be appointed from there.
