The Thought Of Miss Tenant was

$4,000,0OO|N IN ONE DAY
That Was the Amount of Gold
Withdrawals Yesterday.
OLD OFFICIALS FEEL EASY
NOT VIEWED WITH ALARM AT
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
CAUSED BY BIG IMPoRTATloNs
Trying to Escape the Exactiors of the
Ding'ey Bill At Any Rate the
Present Treasury Stock of
Gold is sSI53.354.638.

Washington, April 30.-To-day's with
drawals from the New York sub-treasury
of S4,0000OO in gold coin and bullion for
export is not viewed with apprehension
at the Treasury Department, old officials
of the department calling attention to the
fact that during the last twenty years
and more there had been an annual out
ward movement of gold from this country
to Europe, usually beginning in April or
May and ending in midsummer, and a
corresponding return movement during
the winter months. The last three years,
however, have been marked by abnor-
NAL gold movements, based on abnormal
conditions which, it is said, no longer
exist.
Several reasons are given for the pre-
sent gold export movement, of which
reasons the heavy importations to take
advantage of the proposed new tariff
law is regarded as the weightiest.
Whatever the cause, no alarm is felt
here as to the outcome, the present stock
of gold in the treasury, $153,354, ,63S, be-
ing regarded as ample to meet any emer-
gency without in the least impairing our
credit at home or abroad.

Reduction to Be Recommended
BY Secretary of Treasury.
AND BEER TAX INCREASED
MOONSHINING is NOW BEYOND
CONTROL.
MAY REDUCE TO NINETY CENTS
Appropriation Of $4,000 Inadequate
For Detection Expenses. Present
Tax is Above Revenue Pro.
ducing Point.

Washington, April 30.-lt is very prob
able that the Secretary Of the Treasury
will soon recommend to Congress a ma
terial reduction of the revenue tax ON dis
titled spirits and an increase in the tax on
beer. This action will be taken On the
ground that the present tax of S1.10 per
gallon is above the revenue producing
point. Some days ago Senator Cullom
introduced a resolution, which was adopt
ed, calling upon the Secretary for his
views on the subject, and the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue has now in
preparation a report to the Secretary COW
ering the facts involved. This report will
show that since the increase of the tax on
spirits from ninety cents to $1.1O a gal
lon, illicit distilling has increased to a
point almost, if not quite, beyond control.
This is the case particularly in the noun
famous districts in the South Recently
evidence has been obtained of the extern
sion of illicit distilling in the North. A
short time ago a large quantity of illicit
whiskey was captured in Montana, and
an investigation disclosed the fact that
it was manufactured in Nebraska
That it is rapidly increasing and ex-
tending in many directions, internal rev.
enue officers say is beyond a doubht, and
with only the $4,000 appropriated by
Congress for the detection and suppress
sion of illicit distilling, the internal rev.
enue Bureau is almost helpless to stem
the tide. Just what reduction will be
recommended is not known, but there
are reasons for believing that ninety
cents, the rate collected under the Nc
Kinley bill, will be fixed upon. Under
the lower rate it is cOntended that the
inducements to violating the law would
be reduced, at the same time the revenues
would not suffer No definite conclusion
has been yet reached as to what the rec
Ommendation as to the tax on beer Shall
be, but it is altogether probable that
an increase will be advised

BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
Theresa Coble in the Presbyterian
Church.

Mr. Jeff Mcintyre Married to Miss
Theresa Coble in the Presbyterian
Church.
Laurinburg, n. c., April 30.-(SpeciaD
For several weeks past, madame rumor
has been predicting the elimination of a
social event, in which our people have
been considerably interestered, ere the
spring months had passed away. This
prophecy was fulfilled last night, in the
spacious auditorium of the Presbyterian
church, when Mr.. Jeff Mcintyre, pop
ular young salesman of our town, led
to Hymen's altar Miss Theresa COble,
the accomplished daughter of thu late
Rev. John A. Coble, late pastor of the
church. The church, at no little expense,
had recently been repaired and these i'm
, provements together with the beautiful
decorations which adorned the building,
added much to the beauty and impress
siveness of the occasion. Long before
the appointed hour had arrived, the spa
cious building was thronged with visitors
and admiring friends of the contracting
parties. Promptly at half past eight
o'clock DR.. d. NJ. Prince, accompanied
by the officiating minister, Rev. w. r.
@AIiONOOl, anu MI. N. blNGuS WIFI
Miss Cornelia st. Clair, the accomplished
organist, preceded by the ushers, Messrs.
w. d. McLaurin and John Murphy.
marched up the aisles and occupied their
respective stations. The bridal party
, then entered in the following order: Mr..
j. NJ. Mccormick with Miss Eliza pedew,
Mr.. S. Smith with Miss Lille McKim-
mon, Mr.. Angus Blue with Miss Mary
, Coble, Mr.. J. III. Cook with Miss Lizzie
Wooten, Mr.. j. W. McNair with Miss
Maud Coble. Then came the bride with
the man of her choice, soon to be made
her husband with the impressive cere-
mony of her paster, Rev. w. B. AFRO
wood.
The ceremony ended, the party repaired
to the home of the groom, where they
found a table waiting for them, loaded
down with those things, calculated to ap-
pease the appetite of the inner man. Mr..
and Mrs. Mcintyre were the recipients of
many beautiful and valuable presents,
which, in a measure indicate the esteem
in which they are held by their many
friends. They have many friends in our
city and elsewhere who join in wishing
them all the happiness this life affords.

steel manufacture is slower in advanc-
ing now, as it was much the quicker Ill
the winter. Partly because the increase
in production in pig was then too rapid,
partly, because enormous contracts taken
when the different pools broke down went
mainly to the larger concerns, and per-
haps even more because possibilities OF
new development remain, there is great
hesitation now in placing orders. Re-
ports of pending negotiations between the
Illinois Steel and Minnesota Iron Com
panies point to an important change as
possible. Prices Of Messaba ore have
not yet been established, though ore bet
ter than Fayal has been sold at $2.45 to
$3.50, and pig is weaker; BesSemer at
$3.50 with one sale of 1000 tons for

$3.50. Nails are about five cents per
keg lower, and tin plates five cents per
box and eastern quotations are frequent

A heavy sale of lake copper is re-
ported at IL cents and lead is trit1e
weaker There is more business in cot
ton and wooden goods and a little better
tone in prices, some cotton and some
wooden goods having slightly advanced
without genral change. The mills are
rather better employed and the
demand is apparently increasing,
though not enough III wool
to induce manufacturers to purchase.

rent reports are not in error more than

Atlanta, Ga, April 3O.-Harry A. Gas
sin, the defaulting cashier of the Georgia
Loan Savings and Banking Company,
was indicted by the grand jury to-day,
embezzlement being the charge.
President George Y. Gress was ex-
amined by the grand jury and questioned
as to the conduct of the bank. Other Of
ficers and directors of the bank were be-
fore the grand jury, the session lasting
more than five hours.
This afternoon Cashier Cassins bond
was fixed at $4,000 by Judge Lumpkin,
of the Superior court. The bond was
signed by Judge Henry HI. Hillyer, Cas-
sins father-in-law After Cassin was
released he was re-arrested at the sug-
gestion of Solicitor General Hill, who
took the position that Judge Hillyer, was
not a good bondsman as he was an attor-
ney at law and consequently an officer
of the court. The bond was then signed
by f. NJ. Coker, President of private
bank of this city.
Young Cassin refused to make any
statement in regard to his shortage and
declined to throw any light ON the situa-
ton. As soon as his last bond was
SlSueu, ue WAS ldheH W 'luc uOllc VI
Judge Hillyer. The bond is returnable to
the Criminal Superior court which meets
ON the third Monday in May.
President Gress, as soon as he was
excused from the grand jury room, left
the city. At the bank it was stated that
he was away on business connected with
the bank, but no one knew his address,
The departure of President Gress at this
critical period of the investigation has
given rise to many rumOrs.

ROMEYN PREFERS CHARGES
AGAINST THE LIEUTENANT.
The Court Martial Officers Ordered te
Remain in Atlanta For Further
instructions.

Atlanta, Ga, April Bottle thirteen
army officers detailed ON the court mar
tial before which Captain Henry Romeyn
is now on trial at Fort Mcpherson. have
received orders from the War Depart
ment to the effect that upon the conclu-
sion of the present trial they shall re-
main in Atlanta to await further instruc-
tions from headquarters. The order is
regarded as significant, from the known
fact that Captain Romeyn has preferred
charges against Lieutenant Michael j..
O'Brien. of the Fifth Infantry who is
the former officers accuser in the case
now pending. The charges against
O'Brien are very serious. Captain
Romeyn charges drunkenness, conduct
unbecoming an officer and many other
like Offences The specifications are full
and explicit and there is any quantity of
them. President Guenther, of the court
martial, is as yet ignorant of what the
orders to the court will be, but it is gen.
orally conceded that they will remain
here to try Lieutenant OBrien.
The trial of Captain Romeyn drags "a
long slowly. To-day the prosecution fin
ished the rebuttal testimony and evidence
in surrebuttal was begun. Lieutenant
Liggett, Wahl, Peavey, Mitchell, Hack
ney, Sigerfoos, Captain Randall and
Major Charles Porter, were placed on the
stand and testified that they knew of no
social ostracism or other disfavor having
been shown previous to the time charges
were preferred against Captain Romeyn
for SANDER. Romeyn took the stand
and stated that an order was issued from
the department, mitigating the sentence
of the court martial at his former trial
at Fort Riley, where he was charged
with having lost a large amount of the
governments forage. The trial may
conclude Saturday afternoon as the argu-
ments will not be long ones.
