WAVE OF DEARER

GAMBLING IN AFRICAN MINES

NEW YORK. Nov, l3.-rhe Times
financial correspondent cables:
Once more all over Europe there is
passing a wave OF dearer money. A
fortnight ago discount In Germany was
little better than Ave per cent; yester-
day II was 5% per cent and fur
ther advance In the bank rate Is by no
means improbable.
In Paris money fell away after the
bourse settlement and even In the open
market per cent Is now quoted but
business cannot be done at this figure
at an appreclable extent and French
bankers are calling for funds home.
With us the week just ended has seen
a rapid advance In discount from AZ
per cent upward and It is doubtful
whether much recoil Is to be expected,
All sorts Of demands are pressing
upon us, not the least from our munich
palites, habltuated to spend from
twelve to fifteen millions yearly with
borrowed money.
The French have been heavy sellers
of securities, principally mines In the
last fortnight and may draw money
away. Only gold would be In New
York, likely to prevent our market
from slipping back,
But real ease Is impossible because
Of domestic conditions, We are lest

true source OF our apprehension. We
fear not only Withdrawals of our slen-
der stock. but the lnterccptlon OF our

necessary since We lost that from
South Africa. Therefore dealers In

ioualy and will only feel relieved when
they see your banks becoming stronger

But there Is no trace OF this dread
ON the stock markets The gambling
there last week was very wild. Dcal-
lngs centered mainly In the African
and at times the excitement was tr--
mendous.
The market bosses caused TO be cir
culatcd skiltully concocted estimates
of increased profits certain to flow
from the Transvaal mines once the
British flag waves over them and the
spirit OF gambling was therefore cx'
ceeded to such an extent that th'
whole estimated advantage is already
more than discounted,
Let no bad news come, however
and the gambling would probably
spread in other directions until no sec
ton OF the market would be left Who'll
ly outside its influence.
The mood is ON us and the news o
victories would induce an outburs

would be trivial. The ministry ais
seems desirous of introducing rea
economies by cutting down the nava

Should this policy be squarely fol

From Russia another story altogetht

SOUTHERN MUST MEND ITS WAY
The Corporation Commission Will Regu
late the Jim Crow Cars.

The Corporation Commission Will Regu-
late the Jim Crow Cars.
The Corporation Commission will meet
again today and will resume considera-
ton Of the question of compelling GER
tain railroads in the State to pay back
taxes on rolling stock that they have
heretofore failed to list for taxation.
The Southern has already had hearing
on this question. and today the Mer-
camille Trust and Deposit Company, Of
Baltimore, furnishing cars on the Sea-
board, and the Seaboard and Roanoke
which supplies the Roanoke and Tar
River Railroad with rolling stock. viii
have hearing.
The Commission will decide all these
eases together. There seems to be little
doubt as 10 the liability of the Trust
Company for the taxes Gained but as
to the other roads there is some ques-
ton.
Another matter Of Importance to come
before the Commission this morning is
the Jim Crow ear law. Lit comes up on
complaints against tie southern. This
roads method IT executing liz law is
very unsatisfactory 10 the trave''ng
public, and it is pretty certain that the
Commission Will compel 4 change III it.
Complaints against the Southern ere:
l. That it divides all its cars. 2. That
it does not put both classes of negro
passengers in one car, but second class
passengers are at the front eld Of the
train. and the first class passengers are
at the rear endan arrangement Cd.
jectionable to white people aud neon
yenient to colored people; J. That dde-
quate accommodation, are not provided
for the travel IN ITS trans
1t is pretty certain that an order will
be made by the Commission correcting
all these abuses. The Southern Will be
made to conform to the excellent Jim
Crow ear system in vogue on the SEA
board Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line:
The first passenger coach toward the
engine divided for the two classes of
colored passengers. The next car, undi-
yided, given to white passengers holding
second class tickets. and the third car
to be used by white passengers having
first class tickets.
The traffic on the Southern, certainly
on the main line and on the Greensboro
Goldsboro link, is sufficient to justify the
running of at least three cars on all
trains. There has been notorious lack
of proper accommodation on this read
this summer.

WAKE COUNTY PENSIONERS.
New Names Added to the List By the
County Board.

New Names Audeu 10 the IfiSt by tue
County Board.
The county pension board has com
pleted its work and will make its report
to the County Commissioners at their
next meeting.
This board consists of Messrs. A. h.
Stronach, G. NJ. Allen. j. G. Brdsong
and W. L. Dowd. They recommend
that Ii new names of old soldiers and
two widows be added to the list, and
that one soldier now drawing 4 fourth
class pension be advanced to .he first
class, and another getting a fourth-class
pension be put on the third-class Iisi.
These last are:
Boln Garter, from 4th to LIST class
Zachariah Roberts, from 18th to 3rd
class.
The new names proposed to be put on
the pension list are:
Durham, Ii. Smith Totally disabled
1st class.
q. G. Mills, 2nd class.
Sol II. Hester, 2nd class
j. Ii. Seagrayes, 3rd class.
Geo. w. Pearce, Bird class.
Wiley Glenn. Bird class.
Thos. Albert Seagraves, 18th class.
JAS Seagrayes. 18th class.
w. l.. Perry. 4th class.
John Pollard. 4th class.
John A. Sykes. 18th class,
Lucius Griffis, 18th class.
John A. johnson. 4th class.
The widows Of soldiers recommended
for pensions are:
Sarah Jane Marshall.
Martha H. Cooper.
These, with the pensioners put OH the
lists by special act of the Legislature,
will make between fifty and sixty old
soldiers and widows now in this county
drawing pensions.
The board thoroughly revised the list
and investigated each case, marking off
some eight or ten that have died since
the pension warrants were issued Il
year ago. Besides this, several old sol
diers in this county have given up their
pensions, they are SO small, and gone
to the Soldiers Home.
For the next four or five years con.
siderable increase in pensions may be
expected. The veterans Of the COS are
rapidly becoming old and feeble and in
need Of such assistance as the State can
give them to make comfortable their
last days. With many of them the ex-
posture on the field of battle and in
camp is just beginning to tell, and the
old wounds, until now well-nigh for
gotten, are growing troublesome. For
such the State cannot do too much.
They will not long be a burden. Within
less than decade the pension list will
be growing rapidly smaller.
The pension laws Of the State are not
vet just what they ought to be, and
at the next North Carolina Veterans Re
union action will be taken looking to a
revision and more liberal construction
Of the statute.
