CASHIER GONE WRONG.

He Is Said to Have Dabbled in Stocks
 and Lost Funds of the Bank
 Bethlehem, May 27.-National Bank Examiner Charming Higdon has sworn out warrants before Judge Kirkpatrick at Watson for the arrest of John B. Mc4 Call, cashier and Willis H. Hoch, teller of the South Bethlehem National bank. The amount of the embezzlement is not definitely ascertained, but from what is already discovered upon nearly complete examination, it is stated authoritatively by several of the directors to be 5000 or $9,000, which amount will not materially injure the bank. The entire loss will be made good from undivided profits and by the directors. Teller Hoch has restored $5,210 of the missing funds. It is said Cashier Mccall had been dabbling in stocks.

While 1t is true that the Frsnchman loveS Hberly as we do. he has no conceps.on of Individual liberty, such as we entertain. He thinks of the gov ernment, while we regard the individual. The Ffenchmaa's idea of liberty is the over- unElng of the government if he im- agines he is oppressed-hence the revolu- ton afler revolution, that has succeeded each other in rapid succession. We passed through the civil war and after the sur render settled down to live under the same form of government. It is the diff ference between the civil law and the common law. The .Frenehman is bound up in the civil law, while we lave inher- tted our veneraticn for the common law from our English ancestors and thy from their German ancestors. The French law permits unjust arrests, petty persacp- ions. and inquasltorial detentions, characteristic of an autoeratic govern ment, such as we would never submit to. P5TEoral liber,y is yet to be won by the French. They regard it as no hardship for the government to iIlermeddle with their private and personal affairs.

GEORGIA FARMERS.

Advices from Georgia to the Manufac- turers' Record, says the Mercantile and Finan7c!al Times, indicate that there is decided reduction this year in the number of crop mortgages, as they are termed, made by the farmers in that vicinity Thss indicates that the planters have not been obliged to obtain as large amounts of cash to secure seed. fertilizers and ether requirements for making crops While a large percentage of the mortgages filed are signed by small farmers, as is to be expected, the cotton factors have riot had an unusual demand for money. It is stated that, owing to the cultivation of food crops, such as corn and wheat, many of the farmers have enough on hand from last year to supply the requirements for the coming year. It is also reported that some of the large planters. instead of borrowing money, are lending it to their E:iShbors. This is a very gratify- ing state of affairs, and indicates what the Manufacturers' Record has so long advocated, that economy and crop diver sity are placing the southern farmers generally in more Independent position financially. 1fsr~

NO MERCY FOR TRAITORS.
Must Flock By Themse1ves-Turns
 Down a Nominee Who Had Bolted

Trenton, N. J., May 2.-New Jersey democrats who deserted their palrty's banner la st fall and voted against the Chicago platform received formal and emphatic notice today that as dsmocrats s they need expect no recognition from the republican party of New Jersey, and as deserters from the party they must ra- haibilaite themselves before those who fought the party's tatltls last fall will re- admit them to the fcld.
 Gov. GriggS sent to tha senate this morning number of nominations to fill vacancies on the boards of managers of the state hospitals at Morris Plairs and Trenton. To the Trenton hospital board he nominated Joseph Rice, a Mckinney democrat, of Mercer county.
 As soon as the senate went intto execu- tive session to consider the ronfirme tfon of the nominations, Senator Daly, who led the fight for Bryan and Sewall in New Jersey last year, raised objection to MT. Rice on the ground that the posi- tion belonged to a regu3ar democrat, and mot to orEe who had bo1ted his party. He declared that MT. Rice had openly advo- cated the election of Mckinley, and WAS, therefore, net entitled to the appoint msmt
 "the governor should nominate for this place man who is known to be a regular democrat. He opposed his party ticket Last yeair and is. therefore, entft1ed to no recognition AIS a democrat. He and the other democrats who deserted theirparty standard are nor considered members of the party by us. and inbeqfalf of the dem oorsltfc party nrelpudlate him."

LAKE TRADE coNQUEns.

The Pitsburg Dispatch contains the following special from C3.veiand giving the recent deal by MT. Rockefeller and MT. Carnegie which means a shutout of all c5mpet 1ion in the transportation oe coke in the lake regions:
 Lake carriers of this region are con- fr0nted with a situation, and not '.he- cry. They now fully understand what is meant by the recent movement of John D. Rockefeller and the ore-carryiLg busl- ness. MT. Rockefeller has simply reached out 70 wipe everybody else engaged in thalI business from the face of the earth.
 MT. Rockefeller having put something like S15,G00,e0Q into mines and boats, was prepared at the opening of this season to begin to ge. something back. It was be- lieved4 by boat owners tfBsl. he would nat urally make very close rates, but they hoped that he would still permit thsm to live l. is now apparent that this is not MT. Rockefellerss plan. He proposes in the most complete way in which any thing of the kind was ever attempted to absolutely monopoli2= the ore and coal carrying business.
 tn fad., he has already accomplished thss. 1e has entered in.o contract, eX- tending over period of ten years, to carry ore and coal at a rate so low that no one can compeus with him.
 If other bo1tg could get cargoes they could no, deliver them at the Rockefeller rate. The ore-carryirg business, which in ordinary seasons for this vicinity alone, amourts to $40,O00,000, With $3, 100000 to tfIc carriers, is now absolutely absorbed by the greait Standard Oil mag nate. The owner of fleet of sixteen vessels cer1 leI'irg at this port declared today that he did not consider his boats worth a ham sandwich. He believes tttala all vessel owners who have nothing but their vessel interests are already ruined
 The contracs which has been made be- tween Rockefeller and Carnegie for car rying ore is rot for single season. tI contemplates by lls long continuance the absolute. destruction of all who would compete. MT. Carneg,e controls the Con- heau: and Pittsburg railroad, which runs through the rich fields of the New York and Chicago Gas Coal company. By the ra6es for hauling coal and ore which MT Rockefeller has made, taken together with the enormous size of the Carnegie plant, Bt is possible for them to manu- fac.ure iron at a much less rate than anyone else.
 The small furnaces, foundries and steel pfants in the country are as surely to be crushed out as have been already the small oil refiners.y Coal liners and car- with this gigantic combination in the lines and railroads will be permitted to do She hauling.

Huffman, May 27.-(spec.a1 Correspond ence)-The closing exercises of the Huff man academy were held here on Tuesday evening, the 18th irsit., commencing at ': 80 D. m. The pupils of the school were examined in geography, natural science, reading ard spelling, and the pupils of the primary and advanced departments delivered their recita;ions in clear and intelligible manner The pupils and the audience, which packed the school room, were addressed first by pr. R. M. Cum ningham, who entertained, ins structed and held his audisnce at so lase an hour as 10 o'clock with an address that was poiri ed, clear and eloquent. Dr. Cum ningham indicated the lines of thought and study that would lead to thorough preparation and practical success for the young men and women of the day. He declared that iIii- Higence, yciertce and art applied to farming would pay much bet ter than haSty entrance upon one of the professions.
 Dr. Cunningham was followed by Prof. Geisler, of Powderly and Superintendent McAdory in a few brief remarks, urging tha importance of a thorough, broad foun- dation for entrance upon the discharge of the responsibilities of life work.
 Prof. H. P. Burris closed the speaking in a minute talk. stating that he would not be an applicant for he school for the ensuing session.

STILL AFTER LOTT.

The efforts of Governor Johnston to bring Tax Collector Lott. of Mobile coun- tyr, to terms is commendable. From the reports we gather, and from MT Lott's own admission, we conclude that he Is a very lenient, careless official and han dies the states money in a very reckless manner. The fact that on several occa- sions, even when our townsman, Judge Carmichael, was auditor, compro nnises were made with him, should be F mis- takable evidence of his incompetency to fill the position. If he does not dis charge his duty he should be removed and the office placed in competent hands. Ozark Star.

 The republican senators took the same view of the matter, and it was voted to 5reJeet Rice. All the other nominations wtTe7 confirmed.

If the codifiers of the new code of Alabama to be issued next September haven't prepared better index to it than that of the code of 1886 they ought to be taken out and given one hundred lashes by the lawyers of the state. The old index condescends to impart this sort of information: For what you are locking for "See appropriate titles" And when you try to "see" said appropriate titles you are as much at sea as when you started your investigation. The codifers of the new code couldn't get up a worse index If they exerted themselves along that line.-Greensboro Watchman.

The action of Gov. Johnston in the Covington county disgraceful business should be heartily commended by all citizens The offense of which the man Dunston is charged is one that most fre- uuertly ends in a party losing the crim- inal in the woods. The law should be enforced to the furtherest degree in this particular instance if for mo other reason chan to prove to the infamous perpetra- tors of these crimes that they cannot es- cape punishment.
