Problem Of the Citizens.

They were hurried over the ground

Dupont met committees of citizens and
discussed the situation. The problem
of future is now the one central
thought of the survivors. Some of the
citizens who lost their homes by the

they are at a loss what to do. They
expect to get an adjustment of some

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

There is throughout h country
generally a feeling of the deepest con-
Germ as to the situation in the money
market. and what fnanciers have 10
say on this is read with interest
There are many of these Who are
optimistic and among these is Henry
Clews, a prominent figure in the fin
ancial world. In a recent u~tterance
concerning the state of affairs and the
outlook, he takes a hopeful view and
says:
There is a distinctly better feeling
in the financial situation, due almost
entirely to improvement in the mona
market. which has been working out
its own cure. Hoarded currency is
being returned: foreign gold is pour
ing into our Golfers: bank reserves are
beginning to rise: the credit situation
is less strained: call and time money
rates are lower, and redemption Of
clearing house certificates is already
in sight. These symptoms of relief
have fortunately shown themselves
even before the additional currency
furnished by the government had be-
come available. They show natura
AND healthy tendencies toward recoy-
cry. As a result. We have had a fair
rise in the stock marke and conf
dence has been correspondingly i'm
proved 1t is quite evident that the
corner has now been turned"

'Despotism and mob are the two ex-

\ Prophecy THAT CAME TRUE,

Twenty years ago. When the Banks
dale case was decided this paper de-
clared that the day would come In
North Carolina when the dissenting
opinion of Justice Merrimon would be
the law II North Carolina. The pres
ent Supreme Court has reversed the
Rarksdale decision and Judge Merri-
mons dissenting opinion is today the
law in this state. thus fulfilling the
prophecy.
1t will not be twenty years from his
day before the supreme Court OF
North Carolina Will over-rule the de-
cision that a railroad, subject to pen
alties to be sued for by private parties,
is immune from indictment for COM
hitting a crime denounced by the
same act, or melting another thereto.
Just as surely as Justice Merrimon'e
dissenting opinion was ov~er-ruled by
the present Supreme Court Just so
surely will another Supreme Court de-
clare that the dissenting opinion OF
Chief Justice Clark is the law in North
Carolina.
The judges who rendered the Barks-
dale decision were as honest and as
able as the men who have erred in
Judge Longs righteous fine
Of a confessed criminal corporation.
BarksdaIe decision shocked the
sense of those who wished educational
progress, though there was precedent
and authority for 1t. and II impeded
the education OF all the people for
twenty years. Yesterdays decision,
backed also by precedent ard authori-
ties. shocks the sense Of justice and
cannot endure.
