In the "ChrOnicles OF Il kentuck Set%
tlement'is given an instance Of integr-
~ which deserves to be made historical.
1t is related Of three brothers who were
importing merchants in North Carolina
before the war of the revolution. They
were Qualters, as were many Of the
early colonists Of that state. The story.
if true, goes 10 show that i'm this country
private honor is too often superior to
the public conscience. During the war
North Carolina. and we believe others Of
the colonies, passed an ordnance re-
curing citizens owing money TO sub
jects of Great Britain 10 pay the amount
into the treasury Of the state. which
thereby assumed the POSITION of debtor
to the foreign creditor. Narcourt
Brothers owed at the time a large
amount for goods imported. and this
amount they paid as soon as possibleto
the state treasurer. After the tei.miua-
ton of the war and signing of the treaty
of peace. the English creditors, unable
TO recover the amount due them from
the state, which had been hopelessk
bankrupted by the long and severe
struggle for independence, demanded
payment from the original debtors. "a
they were allowed TO do by the terms OF
the treaty of peace. The Harcourts.
who were honorable merchants, paid
again in fun, although in so doing they
were, in their old age. left comparative-
iy poor.-fouth's Companion.
