wRECkERs' FOUL WORK.
Evident Purpose Was t. Destroy u
Express Train.

A wreck occurred on the Raleigh and
Augusta division Of the Seaboard Air Line,
near Raleigh. Tuesday night. A displaced
rail, which had without question been re-
moved but few minutes before by pro-
fessional train wreckers, precipitated
freight train No. % into a deep cut, wreck
ing ten loaded cars and locomotive, killing
the fireman, Alexander OVERLY, and seri-
ousiy wounding the engineer, John Robert
son.
The evident intention of the wreckers
was to catch the Seaboard AIR Line At
lanta special, which was due at about that
time, but this train being one hour and
twenty minutes late, the express freight
was running under orders on the Atlanta
specials time.

Advertising Hints.

Advertisers have had circulation talked
at them since time immemorial, and as a
result the first question they invariably
ask the solicitor is "How much Is your
circulationY' OF course the number OF
readers paper possesses Is an important
factor, in fact, it Is about the only one
whereby merchant can base his compari-
son of the relative value of papers, still
1t IL well before determining which is
the best medium through which TO
make announcements 10 consider quality.
Quantity OF cirulation without quality
does not as a general rule amount to
much, il is necessary that sheet possess
both, ana II the wise merchant will-spare
the time to investigate this bit he will
soon be able to ascertain which paper is
likely to prove the most profitable.
After this point has been satisfactorily
settled ii is advisable for the advertiser
to lay out systematically a schedule for
his advertising for the year, and pay as
close attention TO ii as he does TO his
books or clerks II he Is sanguino OF big
returns.
Advertising for day or 30 is poor pol
icy. People are not impressed with spas
medical Advertisements. IL Is essential
that the sad" is placed before them con-
tinually until they become thoroughly
familisr with the name ana business of
the advertiser; then when they want any
thing in his line the probabilities are he
will g,t their trade and in that way reap
the reward of persistent advertising. q.

BUSINESS FAN UREs AND EXPERT
MNETS.


MNETS.
"Again" Says Dun's Review IT IL nec-
essay 10 report remarkabl large failures
for the quarter. The amount OF liabilities
has not been exceeded in any quarter
since 1893, nor in any quarter prior to
that year excepting the fourth of 1890,
tine second Of 1854, ana the nrst of 1878.
or including 1898. IN six quarters during
twenty-five years. The number Of fail
ures 10 6l2 per cent. less than in the
third quarter Of 1893, and the an INT OF
sbili,iss is 50, 1Si,t0J, or ILL per cent.
year, as records were then Kept. While the
situation is happily very di1eront in many
other respects, the record Of commercial
disasters by itself is asprosslDg, the more
because II ignores the fact that many OF
the most important failures were pr'maIi-
ly due to losses sustained in 1898, from
which recovery has not been found possi-
bic. But the extraordinary financial and
industrial uncertainty attending the
Presidential contest inis year makes il by
no means strange that firms already weak
ened have gone down, and many others
have bsen prostrsted. The recent influx OF
gold and change Of feeling have brought
much relief, though uncertainty will note
be wholly removed prior to the election.
But IL is not beyond the legitim ate field
OF strictly non-partisan journal, to not
that the disasters already caused by APP
prehension indicate something OF the con-
fslUences which would follow the
changes apprehended."
Indeed IL Is true that business has not
yet recovered from the tariff legislation
that threat sned in tie early months OF 1893
nor has 1t succeeded In entirely "readjust-
ing itself to the changed conditions" i'm
posed by the WILSON. GoRMAN bill. And
right in the midst Of the necessary read
jastment has come the free silver agita-
tion to confuse and confound, to depress
and dismay and ball things up generally.
As prominent Providence Democrat
said to US the other day: "Free silver
may be ali right. But this is no time to
try the experiment."
1t surely is not. With the country
prosperous and business booming, the
people might venture even on so unwise
an experiment as the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio OF 16 to !. But II is not
conceivable that any one in his senses
would vote ON TIE hazard of disaster with
one disastrous policy now in operation
and from which the country is yet far
from recovering.
A man might take poison to try for
himself il II wonld really kill. But
he would hardly venture to blow down
tho muzzzle OF au unloaded gun for a
similar purpose OF personal investigation
until he was convalesoent from the effects
Of the poison and accordingly had some-
thing of mis- strength back again.

SECOND WARD--FOR ALDERMAN " !
