NEW Q STORIES
inside Information.

The late Coils P. Huntington was an
accessible man in his Office during
business hours; but, like Mr.. Sage, he
was intOlerant of visitors who wasted
his time. His opinion was frequently
sought by the newspapers. and when
ever he thought that it was proper to
express It he would talk for .publica-
ton rapidly and TO the point. When
he had finished his statement, b most
adroit cross examination by the inter-
viewer could add nothing to 1t. When
the big bull movement in stocks was
at its height a little more than a year
ago, q man who seldom speculated in
stocks told a broker that he knew Mr..
Huntington very well and that he
thought that Mr.. Huntington would
give him inside information about n
Of the companies in which he was in
terested
"If you can get this information"
said the broker, cit will be worth thou
sands of dollars to you. But l know
Mr.. Huntington's reputation SO well
that I do not believe he will say any
thing to affect the market price Of his
stocks"
The man was confident, however,
and when Mr.. Huntington received
him in a friendly manner he began to
figure his profits
"I have come to ask you about such
and such a stock" he said, land 1 will
be very much obliged to you for a
pointer on It,"
II Mr.. Huntington was amused at
this request, he did not show>it-
"You may have my opinion Of It."
said Mr.. Huntington, but you must
consider 1t confidential"
"Certainly," said the occasional spec
ulator.
"Well then, I may tell you that I
would not buy 1t at 25 nor would I sell
1t at 60. Good afternoon"
1t was not until this man; had reach
ed his brokers' office, repeating Mr..
HuntingtoR's words all the way that
he might not forget them, that he dis
covered the lack OF point in Mr.. Hunt
ington's confidential pointer.

FLOOD NOTES.
Daily Argus, Monday.

Daily Argus, Monday.
Neuse river rose between two
and three feet last nigh, and the
abutment of the asylum bridge
shows signs of giving way. Indi.
cations point to the biggest
fresket ever known in this part
Of the country-even exceeding
the big one of '67.
Governor Aycock says all the
lowland crops on the State peni-
tertiary farm known as Scale
donia" are destroyed by the rags
ing Roanoke river, including 200
acres of wheat. He says the food
damage in the State amounts to
millions of dollars.
All the manufacturing plants on
the river near this city-the brick
yards and the shingle mill, r
seriously menanced by the rising
water and will be unable to oper-
ate until the freshet subsidies. At
this writing Neuse river here is
rising at the rate of six inch per
hour.
The Atlantic. Coast Line is not
immune from the experience and
heavy cost of the other railroads
of the State In these flooded times.
Their bridges, tracks and road
bed are menaced and in many
places damaged ard their trains
delayed-especialIy on its Nors
folk & Carolina branch.
The floods that are prevailing
everywhere throughout the State,
have shut out the Enterprise
Lumber Company of this city,
from it's leg supply in Johnston
county and from its river railroad
here; in consequence of which the
plant has closed down TO- day un-
til the waters recede.
The dykes on the Roanoke.
protecting the Caledonia peni.
tentlary farm. have broken, and
all the lowland crops have been
destroyed. This means a large
deficit in the penitentiary &C
count and more trouble, on ac~
count of this institution, for the
people of North Carolina. Gov
ernor Aycock is undoubtedly in
bounds when he says that the
floods have entailed the loss of
millions Of dollars upon the
State.
Reports of heavy damage still
continue to come in from all points
along the Catawba. Many Of the
best farms along the river are
scanned and furrowed by the foods
or piled high with white sand,
boulders and tree trunks. Even
along the hillsides the flood has
left it's mark on the soil and tim
Der, at a height above low waters
that seems incredible. A half mile
below the point where the Lenoir
road crosses the river, stood the
old Loudermi K honest, ad. The
house and barn were surrounded
by shade treee, and between the
house aud the river was an old
garden in which there were apple
and pear trees Is years old. The
house, outbuildings and every tree
and shrub were swept away, and
nothing remains, except a great
heap of shining white sand.
