Spent Some $37, 900 on Athlet.
les During Past Year.
RECORD NOT EQUALED
The Club Made Money on the
Liquors and Cigars Sold.
Its Two Restaurants Ran at a
Loss of Almost $4,000.

New York. Jan. 14-The New
York Athletic club spent more than
$37, 900 on athletics during the past
IL months, and still increased its as
sets during the year by over 100000.
These interesting facts were brought
to light last evening when the thirty
ninth annual report of the club treas
urer was read. According to the state
ment there are 502S members enroll
ed in the organization. They are d.
dided into seven honorary, 452 life,
3479 resident, 7S4 nonresident, SO
army and navy 81 junior and 1873
athletic members. These members
own collectively $1,754,175.12 worth
of property in Manhattan. Their out
standing obligations amount to $907,-
22S.40, which leaves a surplus of
$S46, ,946.72.
The New York Athletic club in
creased its assets by s107.374.84 dur
Ing the past year. This surplus has
never before been equaled in the his
tory of the organization, and it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful If any other club
in the world can show an increase of
more than 100000 during a fiscal
year. In connection with the surplus.
it is well to note that the customary
10 per cent depreciation, amounting
to a little more than $4,000, charged
off on house furnishings, is taken en-
tirely from the surplus without the
usual charges to furnishings accounts.
1t cost the club S278,961.61 to run
the organization during the past year.
The clubs revenues amounted to
1885, 6,336.51. This leaves the profit of
a little more than 100000. Almost
$4,000 was lost on the two restaur-
ants last year, but, on the other hand,
the wines, liquors and cigars gave the
club a tidy revenue Of a little more
than $4,000.
Athletics costs the club during the
year more than $4,000. The athletic
department earned a little over $6,-
900 This showed a loss of S21452 "a

WOULD START PANICS.
President Forgan's View of the Al.
drich Currency Plan.

Chicago, Jan. Thames B. For
gan, chairman ofethe Chicago Clear
ing House association in letter to
Senator Albert J. Hopkins, declares
that in his opinion the effect of the
proposed Aldrich currency measure,
if enacted, would be to enhance the
value of municipal and railway bonds
He also said that no bank could af-
ford to avail itself of the privilege of
increasing its circulation at a cost of
at least seven per cent and that the
taking out of such currency would
defeat the object for which 1t was
provided by giving notice that an
emergency exists and starting a panic.
He said that it could only be used by
the united action of clearing house
banks and that it was doubtful If it
would be available out of New York
city. Other Chicago bankers shared
In the view held by Mr.. Forgan.

RETIRE SCHOOL WARRANTS.
City Treasurer to Pay OF Forty Thou
sand Dollars Worth.

Forty thousand dollars worth of school
warrants from 1905, which have for the
past two years been drawing per cent
interest. will be retired this month by the
board of education.
Notices are being sent out today by M.
NJ Hale treasurer of the board, to hold
ers of the warrants announcing that after
January 10Th no interest will be allowed
on the warrants and that the warrants
should be presented for payment.
About 100000 of money belonging to Ine
board of education Will be received py the
treasurer this month from taxes
The board has not enough money TO
meet all the obligations that fall due and
the school teachers are usually paid in
warrants which are cashed at the banks
The warrants are good investment be-
cause they draw per cent and are the
equivalent of bonds as far as surety is con-
cerned It's expensive for the board but
it's a custom that has been followed for
number of years, to create a floating In
debtednesS.

New York, Aug. 20-Manufacturers
of the familiar little campaign buttons,
of which the great bulk of the worlds
supply are turned out in factories in
New York and New Jersey, are not
svsrjoyed by the outlook for their
business this year.
The vogue for the little celluloi1
lapel adornmsnts bearing likenssses of
the Presidential candidates appears to
have had it's day.
The slump in the demand appears to
apply equally to both Of the two great
parties. The only reasonable explain
alton appears to be that the public has
grown tired of the button and has tax
en- up the campaign watch-fob, the
searf-pin and other IN blems that are
more novel and attractive than the
button.

We GO FORWARD.
Good Road Building in Wayne
County.

While not very much has been said
about the road improvement that is IL
vogue in this county, nevertheless, I'M
der the aggressive supervision OF the
excellent chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, Mr.. w. r.
Holloweli, a system of Dad building is
being promoted throughout this county
second to no other county in the State.
Great Improvements have been made
On the roads through the northern Sec
ton of the county, and also in the
eastern and southeastern sections; and
now the force ct county convicts are
working on the road leading across
Neuse river at the lattice bridge. The
work OF building this road is really
~stupendeus. h roadway is being
raised to a height Of several feet above
high water lines, to obviate stoppage
of travel in time Of overf1ows, and is
being SO broadly and substantially
laid that it will serve as a permanent
and effeetual dam in freshet emergen-
cies.
To Que who has not visited the work
it is i'm possible to get a msasureable
conception of it's magnitude and what
it portends for the greater develop
lnent Of the country.
Yes, we are going forward, and with
better roads all over the county it will
be up to Goldsboro to better her streets
and get ready for the greater things
that are in store for b County Seat
that will come with the compilation
of the good reads that are now being
promoted in Wayne.
