STATE BANKS,
THE PRESIDENT AND THE LEADERS IN
CONGRESS GET TOGETHER.
The Atlanta Constitution, speaking of
Mr. Cleveland, says that he favors, among
other things, the repeal of the 10 per
cent, tax upon the circulation of State
banks. The Washington Star, giving
what it declares to be the bases of an
reement which has been made by the
President on the one hand and the lead
ers of the party in Congress on the other,
includes in it the repeal of the Sherman
silver act and the substitution for it of un
act repealing the State bank tax. Some
weeks ago Secretary Carlisle was credited
by the paper last mentioned with a finan
cial scheme under which the State bank
tax was to be repealed and these institu
tions allowed to become again banks of
issue, the securities upon which their
notes are based to be passed upon and
and approved by the Federal Treasury
Department.
If Mr. Cleveland, conservative as he
is about financial matters, has consented
or does consent to the repeal of the State
bank tax, it may be taken for granted
that this consent involves some such con
dition as this. With this safeguard
provided, there is no apparent reason
why btate bank bills should not be as
current as the bills of national banks.
Two years ago a supposed widow in
Michigan applied for a pension, claiming
that her husband had died in a Confed
erate prison. She was entirely honest.
Nevertheless, it was found on searching
the records that the man was not dead.
On the contrary, he was living near
Asheville, N. C., and was himself drawing
pension for disability. He bad been
conGned in a Southern prison, and during
his incarceration he and other captive
Union soldiers were visited by charitable
ladies in the neighborhood. Among the
latter was a susceptible young woman
who fell in love with him. After his
release, instead of going home, be deci
ded to begin life again on a new plan.
He stayed where he was and married
the girl. Ou looking the matter up it
was found that the delinquent was one
of the most highly respected people in
the vicinity. He had a hat store, did a
good business and was looked up to by
everybody. The pension bureau could
not stop his money allowance. It simply
notified the former wife that her husband
was alive and told her where he was
living, leaving the drama to work itself
out."
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, 'of Pough-
keepsie, N. 1'., was for years a martyr to
headache, and never found anything to
give her more than temporary relief until
she began to take Ayer's Pills, since
which she has been in the enjoyment of
perfect health.
JAMES CITY.
Soon after the James City war The
Free Press published a report that Mr,
Bryao, the owner of the property listed it
at only $ 1 ,000 . We heard the statement
repeated time and again and took for
granted that it was true. We were
shown the original of the following and
take pleasure in publishing the same :
New Bern, N. C, May 13, 1893.
James A. Bryan, Esq.
Dear Sir: Tic tax list for 1832 shows
that the James City lots are assessed for
taxation at 20,G13. There is other
real property adjoining the said City listed
to you at 52,400.
Very truly yours,
James W. Biddle, Keg. of Deeds,
The Free Press hopes the papers that
published the statement from the Free
Press that this property was listed
$1,000, and commented on the same, will
do Mr. Bryan the justice to make a cor
rection.

WAS NOT DEAD.
N. C'S. DEAD IN BATTLE.
North Carolina voted but 112,5000
when doing its best in 1860. It sent
to war in four years certainly more than
120,000 men more in fact than any
other State sent. It is no wonder then that
its dead are scattered from Gettysburg
to the Gulf of Mexico.
That more North Carolinians fell at
Chicamauga and Missionary Ridge than
from any other State but Alabamma is
very remarkable and confirms all previous
reports as to the number and excellence
of its soldiers. , They lie there in un
marked graves in neglected cemetery of
heroes. Will North Carolina permit this
to continue? Shall her faithful and
gallant soldiers who fell on that bloody
field lie uncared for? We , hope our
people of 1893, will say that this shall
not be. If all the States had done their
part in the great conflict of 1961-05, as
well as North Carolina performed her
part, the independence of the South
would nave been secure and the pains
and penalties of the last twenty-eight
years would have been avoided.
Let the North Carolina of the gen
orations shows of gratitude, admiration
and patrotism to mark suitably the
graves of North Carolina's fallen heroes.

From Friend to Friend Goos the
story of the excellence of Hood's Sars.i
parilla and what it has accomplished, and
this is the strongest advertising which is
done on behalf of this medicine. We
endeavor to tell honestly what Hood's
Sarsaparilla is and what it will do, but
what it has done is far more important
and far more potent. Its unequalled
record of cures is sure to convince those
who have never tried Hood's Sarsaparilla
that it is and excellent medicine.
EMItARASSlNO.
An exchange tells the story of a tramp
who rang a doctor's door bell and asked
the trim, pretty woman who opened the
door, if the doctor had a pair of old
pants he was willing to cive away. "I'm
WW-
the doctor," replied the plump and pleas
ing young woman, aud the tramp fainted
"Brace Up." Is a tantalizing admo
tiition to those who at this season feel
tired out, weak, without appetite and dis
courazed. But the way in which Hood
Sarsaparilla builds up the tired frame an
gives a good appetite, is really wonderful
So we say, "Take Hood's aud it will brace
you up. .
For a general family cathartio we con
udeutly recommend liood s nils.
