BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Eleven Offenders Confronted His Hon.
Or Yestertay-TWO Sent to the
Roads and one of Them was Also
Bound Over to the Higher Court.

A motley crowd confronted Mayor
Waddell yesterday morning, there
being. eleven in all and of this num-
Der seven were charged with being
drunk and down. In the majority of
the eases the offenders got eli upon
payment of a fine and the cCsts, but
lin two cases the defendants get terms
lon the county roads. What was per-
maps the most important case was
against one Alb Stalgen, cOi0red, who
Rudolph Teachey last Mon
day night on Water street. Teachey
received an ugly cash On one side OF
ibis face and when he came in court
his head was swathed in
Ibandages. The evidence was such that
lStalgen was bound over to criminal
and his bond placed at $50, but
it will not be necessary for him to give
la bond during the next thirty days, as
The was given thirty days on the coun-
Ity roads for resisting an officer. Stall
lgen is. said to be a rather bad negro
land the evidence brought III against
Thin so far makes the case look ugly.
A white man named C. Hanson was
thirty days, the charge against
lhim being disorderly conduct. 1t is
mot often that more than three or four
men are found On the roads at
1.-THE same time, in this county, but there
Iare negroes there galore. 1t is said
THAT the negroes work much better
than the white men and don't give near
las much trouble. Quite a'unmber of
negroes serving terms on the roads at
1.-THE present time were sent out for va
lgrancy and they are doing the first real
work they have done in many a day.

Subject Of Discussion by American
Banking Association.
These are to Form the Underlying
Basis of Legislation. Which Will
be Recommended to Congress, for
Relief i'm Times of Financial Strin-
gency--PrCceedings of the Days
Session.

Washington, November 13.-For
more than five hours today the cur
rency committee of the American
Banking Association and The New York
chamber OF commerce discussed The
Formulation Of Principles" which aIC
to form the underlying basis OF the
legislation for the issue OF emergency
currency in times Of financial %strinSen-
cy. These principles will be Ie-
commended to congress for enactment
into law at the coming session. Al
though, the views expressed were aot
BY any means harmonious at all times
some of the members say the discussion
showed an evident disposition to reach
.fom1non ground upOn which a united
appeal can be made to congress for icg-
islation.
The discussion developed g senti~
ment in favor of a currency to be- is
sued ON the general credit Of a bank
desiring to emit emergency currency
during periods of financial stress as Is
done in the case of various European
countries. The alternative of this
proposition-that OF segregating the as
sets of a bank as a special security Tor
these issues-waS voted down. n
tax on these general credit issues, it
is proposed shall form a guarantee fund
to be p~lacedgin the treasury and TO be
used to meet the liabilities Of any bank
which fails. The question Of what
tax to place ON the general credit Is
sues vas referred to a Subcommittee
consisting of three members: James
B. Forgan, of the First National Bank,
of Chicago; Sol Wexler, Of the Whitney
Central National Bank, of New Or
leans, and Frank A. Vanderlip, OF the
City National Bank, OF New York TO
this subcommittee also was left the
settlement Of various correlated ques-
tons incidental TO the general n OF
taxation Of the credit issues
!. The opinion of the majority Of the
bankers IS expressed today, was that
these credit notes are not 10 have any
preference over any of the other obi
cations of the bank issuing them but
are simply to be a lien IS in the case
of all other bank note issues. The
scheme also contemplates the daily re-
demption OF these issuec through the
fundamentally of the clearing houses
in the cities in which the banks issuing
them may be located.
Tonight members of both committees
were guests at a dinner given in their
honor by Frank A. V~anderlip OF the
New York chamber OF commerce CON-
mittee.

The North Carolina Colonial Danes
are about to see fulfilled a long cher
ished hope and M they have striven
for with a zeal and determination as
women who are inspired by some pa
triotic cause. Last spring the corner
stone Of the monument to be erected
to Cornelius Harnett and the heroes
and patriots of the lower Cape Fear
during the Colonial days and revolu-
t1onary period was laid, and is at the
intersection of Fourth and Market
streets, a most excellent location and
one that was decided upon after much
elaboration by a speciaI committee ap-
pointed to select a location.
Yesterday the monument arrived and
the work of unloading the massive
pieces of stone was begun. 1t will be
erected by Delahaunty, of Philadelphia,
who has a reputation over the entire
country. The monument will be of
granite and very imposing.
In few days the w0rkmen will be
here to begin the work of erecting the
monument, but it will not be unveiled
until after the holidays. The unwilling
will be with appropriate ceremonies
and an address will be made by some
well known orator.
Only a few yards from where the
monument is to be erected rests the re-
mains of the revolutionary patriot,
Cornelius Harnett, and in the St.
James church yard rest several he
roes of the colonial and revolutionary
period.
re- On the brow of the Market street hill
will stand the monument commemorate
ing the deeds of the heroes of long,
long ago and when the people of this
city look upon the granite shaft they
will also think of the noble women
through whose efforts the funds were
raised for the erection of this monu-
ment. Men are patriotic, but
they have not that love and re-
.spect for the memory of depart
ed heroes as the women and many a
monument in this and other lands has
been erected solely through the efforts
of patriotic women.
