North Cardinals state bank system
is thought good on Wall street, New
York. Leastwise the Journal. financial,
says of it, and people having bank
transactions or being money borrowers
will read with interest:
"At the close of business on April "a,
1901, the u of 20 state banks, Is
private banks and ten savings banks of
North Carolina were SIG, 321, 100. Loans
were s11, ZIG. 06S, gold 234, 4O9; silver
s191, OO2; capital stock. s2,S12. SOP; sur
plus, s593, 500; undivided profits, $500
596; individual deposits, s11, 107, 1868; due
to banks. S230,34S.
According to the statement Of Febru-
airy 5, 1901, there were then 35 national
banks in North Carolina, with total re-
sources, ST., 099, 1853: capital, SO, 1872, $50;
surplus, 1896. 931: undivided profits, 1913
1913: on September Il. 1899, there were
20 national banks in North Carolina.
1T thus appears that the state bank
system in North Carolina is very
strong"

THE RIGHT KIND OF SANTIAGO
MEDAL.

The infamy of the Secretary Long
performance, President Mckinley
standing by consulting. relative to the
Rear Admiral Schley, richly merits the
denunciation of all newspaper, and OF
the whole American people. The WASH
ington Post of the End instant, has a
suitable cartoon. Sampson. the little
fellow, is dancing around with his little
unused sword. He has a medal before
him. 1t has his own picture, his finger
and thumb being at his nose, as he
looks up in dirision at the gallant
and most meritorious Schley. Over the
head is Santiago" and underneath is
1885," Schley stands largely over
towering the trickster,, and looking
down at the performance smiles upon it.
1t will be entirely appropriate to him
from this disgusting falsehood in bronze
to look beyond seas. Let us see how
the only but the real performance
figures in Spain in the hands of an art
list who has a right measure of Samp-
son and IN eye for the ridiculous. A
dispatch from London to that Sampson
w~orshiper, New York Sun. gives this:
London. July 1.-According to the
Daily News there is to be exhibited In
Madrid a marble sculpture by an Anda-
lusian artist representing the noted
Matanzas mule just after he received
his death wound from an American
shell during the late war. The sculptor
obtained the dying expression by haV-
ing a mule shot and instantly photo
graphed."
That is the one glory of SIMPSONS
real achievement. The Washington
Post. that has been air and just all
along in this Sampson-SchIey contro-
versy, is pleased to say of the above
dispatch:
Unless the design for the reverse
of the Sampson media has been definite
ly accepted, we do hope that Secretary
Long will consider the claim Of the
Matanzas mule. The drawing we have
seen in the newspapers, labeled "A
spirited scene on the gun deck" is ut

out at least one year of the five or longer If
all conditions are favorable. Some spend
practically all their time out, attending pub.
lie schools in the winter aud earning their
keep by work out of school hours, and receiy.
ling wages In the summer or vacation months.

they write home and their parents seem un.
easy about it. enclose you a set of our

the regulation of the system. The outing ID
by far the bess method of securing English
for Indian pupils and it will operate exactly
the same for the Porto Ricans. Naturally
while at the school, they clan together and
speak Spanish great deal and do not make
as much effort to speak English as they
must when placed where no one can under
stand their Spanish.
There has been no misadventure on &C
count of our outing for the Porto Ricans
1t might perhaps be said that they are moi
quite as much in favor of work as some
