STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.
Mr.. James w. Monroe in a Very Pre-
cariOuS Condition His Right Side
Effected. |

The Messenger regrets exceedingly
to that MI. James w. Mon
roe mas been stricken with paralysis.
his whole side being effected. At a
late hour last night he was unconsci-
u and it was feared that his brain
was also effected by the stroke. Mr..
James H. Chadbourn, Jr., with whom
he has been associated as bookkeeper
for many years aid last night that
this is Mr.. Monroe's second stroke, he
having been slightly effected earlier in
the week. He says that a few days
since while in the office he spoke to
Mr.. Monroe and he failed to reply
merely writing on a slip of paper that
he mad lost his speech. He watched
Mr.. Monroe's movements for a few
minutes and presently the phone bell
rang and quick as a lash he went and
answered the call. Force of habit and
the shock. he thinks, brought
back his speech. After hat his
power speech come and went at inter-
walls. However. late yesterday after
noon a severe stroke of paralysis set
tied upon him and the greatest ankle
ty is felt as to his condition.

Messenger reporter yesterday that the
timber receipts from the first Of the
year to the present time will amount
to 1900, 900 feet, in round numbers,
being more than was received during
the whole of 1899.
The timber receipts 3 far this ear
have been very large and the prices
have ranged high.
All the timber arriving on the la
ket sells of quickly. The quality has
also been very good

1t will be necessary to hold a econd
democratic primary on next Tuesday
the 9th instant not only for the nomi-
nation of a candidate for coroner, as
announced yesterday, but for a mem
Der of the house of representatives as
well, the failure to nominate having
been in the case of B. G.. Empie, Esq.
The necessity for another ballot for
a member of the house Of representa-
tives was discovered yesterday by the
democratic executive committee when
they made the final official V of
the votes cast in the primaries held
Thursday. When they estimated the
number of votes cast for candidates
for the legislature they found that
1913 were necessary for nomination n
this number was received by George
Rountree, Esq, only, he having polled
ITO. The vote received by b. G.. EN-
pie, Esq, was 1922, less by q votes
thu required for a choice. Mr.. NJ.
S. Willard, it will be remembered, re-
ceived 965 votes and Mr.. E. H. Free
nan S2S. The two candidates sreceiv-
ing the highest votes therefore being
Empie and Willard, votes will, accord
ing to the rules prescribed for the pri-
mary, be cast only for these two, Mr..
Freeman dropping out of the contest.
The committee arrived at the num-
Der of votes necessary for a choice in
nominating the legislative ticket by as
certaining the number of ballots actu-
ally cast for the nomination of the
legislative ticket. This they found by
actual count to be 20S5 q majority of
votes necessary for a choice being
therefore 1043. Other than the discov-
prv that Mr. Emnia had not raooiUpd
a sufficient number of votes for nomi-
nation for the house of representatives
the anVaS of the first primary vote
yesterday by the executive committee
developed no changes from the general
result as published in yesterdays Mes
Senger. So that the regular nominees
of the party, the election of whom at
the general election to be held in Au-
gust, is assured for there will be no
opposition ticket, are as follows:
For State Senate-GeOrge l.. Morton.
For House of Representatives
George Rountree, Esq.
For Sheriff-F'rank Il. Stedman.
Fol Register of Deeds-W. H. Bid
die
For Treasurer-H. Mel. Green.
For Constable-William Sheehan, Sr.
For Surveyor-JoSeph H. McRee.
The official call for the second pri-
mary, signed by Mr.. d. McEachern as
chairman and Mr.. w. A. Wright as
secretary of the democratic xecuti
committee, is published in another col
umn of this issue of the Messenger.
Notice is given that the same rules
which governed the first primary will
be observed in holding the second one
on Tuesday the 9th.
AS previously stated votes can ONLY
be cast for Empie and Willard on the
legislative ticket and the same rule
will apply in h vote for coroner, DR..
w. F. Stokes and J.. G.. Walton, who
received the highest votes, being the
only candidates for whom votes will
be counted.
The polling places will be the same
as in the first primary and the poll
holders nave been selected from among
the number who served last Thursday.

A savings bank was organized in
this city yesterday with $50, 900 capital.
under the name of The Guardian
Security Trust and Deposit Company
of Wilmington" With the organiza-
ton of this company Wilmington can
boast of five banking institutions-two
savings banks and three national
banks-each of@shem as solid as any
in the LAM and those now established
doing a volumpe of business / n every
way highly gratifying TO their respec-
tive directors and making an especially
creditable showing for the commercial
interests of the city.
The meeting of the subscribers to
stock in the new savings bank for the
purpose of organizing was held in the
looms of the Wilmington Merchants
Association at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. There was a large repre-
sentation of stock and great enthusi-
asm was manifested. Indeed the new
bank is being launched into the COM
mercial world under the most promis-
ing auspices.
The Messenger was informed yes
terday that there are about seventy
stockholders, including in the num-
Der many of the largest and most sue
ceSSful business men of the city.
Then, too, there are quite a numbe
of salaried men, clerks and others,
who have taken shares of stock. The
fact is, that when the company vas
being organized yesterday it was
found that there was much more stock
subscribed than could be admitted. 1t
had at first been intended to organize
with only S25, 900 capital, but the
~'clamoring" for shares was so general
and so much greater than was expect
ed that at the meeting yesterday it
was decided to make the capital stock
$50, 900 instead. Despite his increase,
however, it was found necessary to
scale down the number of shares of
each s~tockholder is compared with the
number each had subscribed.
The officers for the new bank as
elected yesterday are as follows:
President-Mr. H. c. Mcqueen.
Vice President-Mr. j. S. Armstrong.
Board of Directors-Mr. z. G. Holt,
Mr.. j. H. C~hadbourn, Mr.. NJ. j. Cor
bett, Mr.. James S. Armstrong, NJ.
William Calder, Mr.. G.. w. Whitehead.
Mr.. NJ. w. Divine. Mr.. H. G. McIntire,
Mr.. H. c. Mcqueen and Mr.. Isaac
Bear.
The president and vice president
were elected by the board of direc-
1oiS c. q SNA2 80 IN iASSN-
ing of the subscribers to stock.
1t will be of interest to note in this
connection that half of the capital
stock of the new ban is already paid
in and the remainder is to be paid
within the next sixty days, so that
they practically begin business with a
paid up capital of $50. 900. Under the
articles of incorporation the capital
stock can be increased from time to
time to a limit of $500, 900.
Mr.. H. c. Mcqueen, the newly elect
ed president, said last night that he
expects to perfect the preliminary ar
rangements in ample time to hav the
doors of the institution open for the
patronage of the public by April 1st.
The Messenger co~ngratulates the
promoters of the new bank upon the
propicious outlook for a prosperous
business career and trusts that their
most sanguine expectations may be
realized.

Mothers Friend

does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. 1t helps be-
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
IT. and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and %foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure: Best
Of all. Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes II
will be strong, lusty and healthy.

The business world use gold as a
medium of settlement of business
transactions for two reasons, first, be-
cause it is recognized by the world as
the standard of value; second, because
it is cheaper to handle. One million
dollars weigh a little over four thou
sand one hundred and sfxty-six
pounds, while one million in silver
weights over one hundred and thirty
three thousand pounds. An idiot can
understand that if business man in
New York has to make a settlement
for one million dollars for purchase
made in England-even allowing for
argument that the two metals were at
par-he would pay in gold because the
freight charges on gold would be over
thirty times less than the freight
charges on the same amount of money
in silver.
