AsHistoric Old Bill.

A $50 currency bill. issued by the
State in ITS, is now in the possession of
Adjutant General Royster, and whether
it's intrinsic value equals its face value
certainly its. historic value is all of that
sum.
Gen. Royster accidently discovered
the bill few days since in going over
the papers of an old estate. The bill
is remarkably we'll preserved. 1t was
Issued by the State to meet expenses
incurred in fighting the British army.
Though crude in form and printing
the idea of currency of the present time
differs little in some respects. The old
bill is about the width of those Uncle
Sam circulatees today, but is hardly
half the size in width. On one side are
the words Death to counterfeiters'
with the figure $50 in large letters and
the announcement, printed by A. j.
Davis The reverse side reads, this
bill entities the bearer to receive $50
Spanish milled dollars or the value
thereof in gold or silver, agreeable to
act of General Assembly, Hillsborough,
N. c., Sth day of August, 1875" The
signatures attached are those of John
Carr and VIM. Sharp. The number of
the bill. written in ink, is 4165.
In one corner are the words, 1.-The
Rising States. which indicates that
the young Republic was emerging
successfully from the conflict with
Great Britain.

Treasurer Lack recently had occasion
to use this report for the purpose of

says the report would bring something
like $50. There are very few copies in
