THE DIME SAVINGS BANK.

1t Will Open Nov. Ist--A Novel Idea
for Deposits.
Mr.. B. r. Lacy, who is interested in
the new Dime Savings bank soon to be
opened here, is highly pleased with the
prospects of the new corporation.
He said yesterday that those who had
subscribed for stock were paying up
right along, and that the prospects for
doing large and successful business
were most encouraging. There are many
who would have liked to take stock but
could not do so as the subscription had
already been made up. 1.-THE bank, :"
Mr.. Lacy said, will be opened some
time in October perhaps, but probably
not before November the 1st."
a unique feature of this banks BUSH
ness will be the savings boxes which will
be sent out to those wishing to become
depositors. A person dersiring to save
may go to the bank and, by depositing
$3.50 as guarantee, carry off one of the
boxes. He agrees to return it after three
months, with deposit within, ranging
from ten cents to fifteen hundred dollars.
The bank keeps the keys. There are one
hundred of these boxes. Mr. Lacy was
showing sample yesterday. 1t is about
four inches square, and made of the best
nickel. In the top is slot, in which
money may be dropped; but, like the jay
bird that tried to fill up house with
acorns, in one of Mark Twain's stories,
the money dropped never comes back,
except the tox be taken to the bank and
the contents deposited. AS Mr.. Lacy
says, "It's halfp past four when you drop
in dime"

GAMES UP FOR THESE.
Governor Carr Issues Two Requisi-
tiens for Fugitives.

Two OF North Cardinals wandering
sons are soon to return from two neigh
boring States to the scenes of their boy
hood. But in their home coming there
will be little of pleasure, as officers of
the law aided by big, red sealed requisi
tons will combine to make their visit
anything but happy.
The first of these evil doors who are
away for health, is Dumps Grant. Over
looking pun, Dumps will be emphati-
cally "in the Dumps" for his crime is
burglary, well proven. One night down
in Buncombe county he went into the
sleeping room of E, T. Clemens and stole
therefrom watch. Discovered, he fed.
He is now in jail at Greenyille, South
Carolina.
The other requisition is issued on the
Governor of Tennessee for Lee Bailey,
an escaped convict of Catawba county.
He is in custody at Chattanooga.

JAILED FOR HOUSE BREAKING.

Willie Montague, COlored lin the Hands
of Sheriff Page-~W lille ''Mine HOst'
was at Church in Went Willie.
In the county jail languishes Willie
Montague, a colored man of Marks
Greek township. There are two charges
against him, one the felony of house
breaking, the other the carrying of con-
ceale1 weapon. If one charge fails to
carry, there you are with the other; so
its all up with Willie. He was brought
here and jailed yesterday.
Sunday DR.. Charles Rhodes, of Mark s
Greek went to church, as all good Meth
odists should. Up in little grove by
the roadside the colored Baptists were
also having service. But the preaching
and the singing had no charms for Willie
Montague-it is with this back-slider's
actions on Sundays bright noon that
this story deals.
When the good Doctor Rhodes returned
with his family to his home, he discov-
cred that some one had entered before
him. Many things were disturbed but
he could only discover the loss of pis-
toll. And that afternoon Willie Monta-
que laughed loud and long and went out
to shoot at mark.
When he had fired all the cartridges
the weapon contained, deputy sheriff
stepped up with warrant. SO that is
how he rests to-day in place where he
himself may be made mark of if he
should try to escape.
The charge cannot be burglary as the
theft was committed in the day time, and
when the house was unoccupied.

Two men came here yesterday from

visit to Raleigh, and they wondered
greatly as they passed the houses two
stories high, and gazsd open mouthed
at the Capitol. They had come to see
the sights, but they didn't know where
to begin. Finally a brilliant thought
struck one of them Bill" he said,
"I'll tell you what let's do: let's go and
look in the jail and see if there's any
body we knows" So, with minds made
up at last, they rushed jail-wards.
Whether or not they found some long
lost friend remains to be told.

The changing Dog" Triumv late.

For the past week letters have been
whirling into Raleigh from Hanging
Dog and Pitt and Chatham. Justices
Campbell, Phillips and Bryan are all
anxious to again meet in learned con-
clave. The only trouble is that they
fear greatly that the State will not "pony
up" money for their expenses. 1t is
about this momentous question that the
Judges are writing they must wish to
meet badly or they would never go to
such labor.
No satisfactory arrangements have yet
been reached, but it is probable that the
Capital City will this week see that hat
again.
