mitted.
The New York Tribune took the
trouble TO investigate the figures, and
it found that some of the companies
described have no real existence. and
that in many cases lists of employees
have been used twice and three times
in order to swell its total o. those
blessed with an increase in wages. The
Carnegie company is down in one

WANT IT, KNOCKED OUT.

Raleigh, N. c., April g.
There was such a gathering of
fusionists and House clerks here
yesterday that it began to look
as if the Legislature was sums
moned to meet again. The
much talked of mortgage bill is
thorn in the side of the fusion
lists. The original has been
found and marked "tabled," but
no one can explain how it came
to be enrolled. The Speaker
says it was "snaked through"
and its title never read. Two
clerks, a member (Populist) and
a lawyer are under suspicion.
The bill never passed, yet was
ratified and is law. The
Supreme Court has so held in
other cases. The fusionists want
the court to knock the present
bill out.

NEW YORK CRY. Apri.

NEW YORK CRY, April I.
To the Editor of News and Observer.
Within the last few DAYS have visit
ed most of the mortgage companies of
this city, and several private bankers
endeavoring to make arrangements to
borrow money for former clients in
Edgecome county, by mortgage upon
their realty. OF course l did not ex-
pect to perfect arrangements, and ne
gotlate loans until the new assignment
law had been construed by our court. l
was treated with the utmost considera-
lon by everyone whom l approached,
but they all declared they had no mon
ey to send to North Carolina Now-it
mattered not what construction our
court should give the new assignment
law.
The business men here have had
their eyes upon North Carolina-th
conservative progress of the Stale has
attracted their attention-and 1 found
they would have been willing to lend
money upon North Carolina realty at
seven per cent when they decline to
lend money to some of the Southern
and Western States at ten and twelve
per cent, but for the fact that the Leg
lslature was in the hands of the Fusion
lst. The bankers and mortgage COM
panles here represent that they cannot
END money i'll North Carolina at less
Than seven per cent, and everyone
with whom talked said that they were
to call in their money as |
speedily as possible.
Whenever the Populists are in con-
rol you will find that the credit of the
state is impaired and its property de-
'reciated i'll the money markets of the
world. HENRY A. GILLIAN.

PAPA, PAPA, TAKE YOUR
BOY CECIL.
A TOUCHING DEATH-BED SCENE.

Opposite the court house il
Gainesville, N. c.. stands a long
milling hotel building ..one OF
the two we'll kept hotels of that
quaint old town. The proprietor
o. the tavern. Mr.. Hayes, died
after a short illness, and just two
months later his little boy Cecil,
one year and eleven months old
and great favorite ofhis father,
was attacked by that terrible,
death dealing disease, menbran>
Gus Or true Group.
The skill of two physicians
was invoked. They worked hard,
assisted by the ladies of the little
city, but their skill was of no
avail. The membrane Or false
skin formed faster a q Is Ill
spite OF all their efforts, and on
the third day after the first attack
the struggles and strange breath~
ing preculiar to this child~de-
stroying malady but too plainly
told that little Cecil's stay on
earth was limited to a very short
time.
Sympathizing friends gathered
carer and nearer, and tears fell
from the eyes of all, for the lit
tie fellow was a general favorite,
and just as the sun was setting
they thought that all was over,
but as it was about to disappear
over the pines that bound the
western part of Gatesville, it left
a lingering ray of light, and
there was still, though imper>
ceptlble to bereaved relatives
and sorrowing friends, a ray of
life left to the little patient, for
he raised up in bed, eagerly
stretched out his little arms as if
reaching for some one, and said;
Papa, papa, take your little boy
Cecil" then departed this life
with smile On his face.-Nc>
