Two young women were going along Fenn-

were about TO pass the gateway where
Executive avenue divides the State Depart
ment from the White House. somebody
shouted. and both young women were grab

was the only thing that saved them from
being run down by a carriage that flashed
through the gate and down the asphalt at
considerable more speed than five miles an
hour.
AS the women, both pale from the shock
and one downright hysterical, tried TO
thank the man whose shout and grab had
prevented them being killed or MANNED. the
usual crowd began to gather.
That's all right, ladies' answered the
man, who was neither big, young nor heroic
looking, Il was knocked down right here

ON TO WASHINGTON.

The most important piece of news
this month to Eastern North Caro-
lima was the announcement made eX-
clusiveIy in yesterdays News and OBJ
server that the Raleigh and Pamlico
railroad had been sold to new COM
pany, presumably interests controlled
by the Standard Oil Company. 1t is
not known what interests are behind
the new owners, but it looks like the
Standard Oil Company is pursuing its
policy of making big investments in
Eastern North Carolina. If it is the
Standard. it means great development.
The new owners of the Raleigh and
Pamlico will put large force at work
and are under bond to carry out the
plans of the old company.
The Standard is understood to have
bought the Norfolk and Southern rail-
way and the Suffolk and Carolina the
Roper Railroad Company, and other
lumber roads. 1t looks like that great
concern will connect those roads With
the Raleigh and Pamlico, build from
Snow Hill to Kinston and make a
network of railroads in Eastern North
Carolina with Raleigh as the present
terminus.

naturally so satisfying to Mr.. Bryan
and the Commoner.
THAT a connection exists between
high prices and gold production there
can be no doubt whatsoever, and that
a connection exists between high
prices and prosperity is also true.
The denial of the former assertion by
the gold standard men during the
campaign of 1896 was one of the least
creditable features of their fight. In
deed, it was nothing less than an in
tellectual curiosity to find writer's
who were trained economists, or at
least well-equipped students of po1it-
ical economy, arrive in some mystic
riouS manner at the conclusion that
the eXtant quantity of the money
standard metal had nothing whatever
to do with the value of the monetary
unit. On this fundamental point Mr..
Bryan was entirely right, and his cam
paign adversaries-those of them who
went the whole hog-were entirely
wrong. And the amusing part is that
while, theoretically, they may still
stick to the doctrine that there is
nothing in the quantity theory" of
money, yet, like all the rest of the
world, they look upon the statistics OF
gold supply as having the greatest
possible bearing on the prospective
course of prices

A RIGHT MOVE.

Elsewhere we print communlca-
ton from Mr.. G.. H. Smith, director
of the Banking Loan and Trust Com
pany OF Sanford. in which he gives
the resolutions adopted by the direc-
tors of the bank which declare that
the cashier shall at no time have the
right or privilege of entering into any
speculative scheme whatever
Neorly every bank cashier who has
gone wrong" can trace his downfall
to speculation. He begins with his
own money, but he soon sees a
chance for a fortune and uses the
money of depositors, and soon he has
got beyond his depth, and is ruined
man. The only safe rule for bank
official is not to speculate.
