strong undcrcurrent of sentiment exists,

Beers against Great Britain Every
German one meets expresses this freely,
and the press, except the portion insplr-
cd by the Government, sides more or less
strongly with the Beers.
\ further sign of the deep interest in
the matter here is III the large number OF
Pamphlets and books on the question
which have appeared within a month,
All the periodicals also contain articles
on the Transvaal question. 1t seems
doubtful. however, whether the Govern
nent or the Emperor will again interfere
il things come to Il focus in South Africa.
1t is currently reported i'll political cir
Giles that His Majesty, on the occasion Of
the visit of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes to Berlin,

THE Beers are past saving" adding
that they "owed their misfortunes to
their own stubbornness, and that there
was no intention on the part of Ger
many to call halt to England.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
GATED Press learns that there has been
great yeering around of opinion in Gov
ernment circles, partly owing to the c.r-
cunstantial reports of the new German
Consul ut Pre- toria. The Government
press remains in the mud. the whole
question awaiting the Emperor's return.
A large portion of the press this week
called attention to the enormous pro-
posed increase" of the American navy.
The Ost-Asiatische Lloyd points out that
America is now building forty six war
vessels and that the construction of II
more was ordered during the last session
of Congress. This. it adds, in the near
future will give a new complexion to the
Ear Eastern question.
This article has been much commented
upon and a number of papers in close
relation with the Government have be-
gun a campaign in favor of another large
increase in the German navy. Even the
Conservative Neueste Nachrichten, the
organ of DIR. MIGUEL, the Prussian Minis
ter of Finance, strongly insists that such
an increase is necessary unless Germany
wishes to ''aEdicate the influential posi-
ton she has acquired in the East"

Remedy the Bulletin Evil.

Also the Corporation Commission VIII
Remedy the Bulletin Evil,
There is matter that the Corporation
Commission ought to give more attention
to-the matter of connections Here is
a case in point: Yesterday morning the
Southern train from Greensboro came in
II quarter of an hour before the Sea-
board train from Hamlet. The Sea-
board had five passengers for NewDern
and Morehead and they had the conduc-
tor wire to have the Southern held for
them. Did the Southern do it? Not Il
bit. 1t pulled out five minutes before
the Seaboard came in.
What was the result? AS no train is
run on the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad on Sunday these five passen-
gers will simply have to stay in Raleigh
till Monday morning at 10 o'clock This
is an outrage
Follow it up a little further. A lady
got on this same Southern train here
and by the way she was the Corporation
Commissions stenoGrapher She wanted
to catch the Coast Line train at Colds
boro. Failing to do this she would have
to wait i'll Goldsboro twenty-four hours.
The Southern train was late She ask
ed that the Coast Line train be held.
The conductor replied that ne would not
hold it so much even as five minutes
The lady is still in Goldsboro.
The Commission might turn It's atten-
ton to the matter and the proper post
ing of bulletins just now to the great
advantage and convenience Of the travel

RESIGNATION OF MIR. THoMPso,
Commercial and Farmers Bank Direc-
tors Express Regret.

Mr.. Geo. w. Thompson, head book
keener for the Commercial and Farmers
Bank resigns to accept vice presidency %
the Virginia Cotton Mills.
In the resignation of Mr.. George W.
Thompson, who has been with the Com-
mercial and Farmers Bank ever since
its organization, he is moved to make
the change by reason of a pecuniary mo-
tive as well as promotion TO the wee
presidency of one of the best mllis III
our State, largely owned and controlled
by Mr.. Ashhy l.. Baker. In Mr.. Inomp-
son leaving the Commercial and Farm
ers' Bank it leaves the way open for
the promotion of two worthy and desery-
ing young men, Mr.. e. Il. Crow and Mr..
Albert Baughman. From Mr.. Thompson 5
letter OF resignation to the board of di-
rettors we make the following extract:
Il am persuaded that its extraordinary
growth tthe Commercial and Farmers
Bank in the volume of its business and
the popularity Of it's methods is trace
able. not alone to the deseryedly wide
influence Of its directors and the high
esteem in which they are held III tho
State and elsewhere, but also to the firm
conviction in the minds or the people
that it's officers are ut once men of the
very highest business ability, of sterling
integrity and eternally watchful of the
interests of all the patrons of their in
stitution."
To show with what esteem Mr..
Thompson is held by the board of direc-
tors of the Commercial and Farmers
Bank. the board instructed the cashier
to write the following letter and have 1t
spread upon the minutes of the meet
ing:
Mr.. Geo W. Thompson, Raleigh, \. G.
NV Dear Sir: Your resignation as
bookkeeper has just been read before the
directors.
The service you have rendered this
bank since its organization has been
most efficient and we have endeavored
in various ways to show our apprecia-
ton of the same from year TO year
The relationship existing has become
so very close that it is both pain and
a pleasure to receive your communica-
tiom 1t is specially pleasant to know
that your prospects are opening so au-
spiciously and a pain to have the ties
broken that have cemented with eight
years faithful work. The regrets thar
arise from this condition cannot be well
expressed. In accepting your resignation
we do so with much reluctance, burt with
full expression of confidence in you as Il
gentleman, friend and most expert ac-
countant. Our best wishes will follow
wherever your lime Of work shall be.
BY special instruction Of the board !
write the foregoing and AM,
Yours, with best wishes always,
Il. S. HERMAN, Cashier.
