RALEIGH'S BUDGET.
NEWS NOTES GATHERED IN NORTH
CAROLINNs CAPITAL.
MANY PETITIONS IN BANKRUPTCY.
Rather a Limited Record-The Flu
sionists Had Good Picl0ings-The
Tax on Undertaxers--A Distinc-
tfOn-PersOnaI and General.

RALEIGH, n. c., June 3.-(Special.)-
SO far in this Federal district there have
been fifty bankruptcy cases. The total
Indebtedness extnguished is about 100000.
1t was once thought there would be a
rush OF business, but in fact there is
hardly any. No one is taking undue adj
vantage Of the law. Those going into
bankruptcy have. as a rule, no assets,
but are hopelessly bankrupt. Forty-one
per cent. is the highest dividend paid by
any one taking advantage of the law.
TIE State Superintendent OF Public In
struction has written a letter to Attor-
ney-General Walser. asking whether the

The State Treasurer decides as TO the

State and SO for the county. He also

unGertakers, therefore, does not apply to
the latter.

tile Company, which will build and ope-
rate cotton and woollen-mills at the town
of Halifax. The capital Is 100000, and the
stockholders are Gustavus and Clarence
