The answer to the tive, for September corn has declined 5 cents a bushel tendency Is still downward. The drouth has been broken, co- pioua raini having fallen every where. The public la partially responsible for the advance in price, for they have been willing victims of the speculators. Profit “taking” has been responsible for the decline, it being taken from the “eleventh hour bulls,” otherwise the outside public. It is significant that hog products have not undergone a corresponding advance, but that prices are at practically the same levels they were in early spring, and this notwith standing the fact that in the specu lative markets It Is the practice to discount the future. The recent crop scare in relation to com has been on the theory that great damage would result unless "rain came soon.” The. rain has come and on the same argument the danger has now pass ed and the advance should be large ly eliminated. a «i ronnagp of the corn Ills mls'iii be the dif- -: *1 dividends and loss. u >olvenc> giftd bank- ; luf'ed imrcba.sinfe pow- . would certainly * irm! conditions in .. rr .>r Tho in- ■■ h.'oS would a^ain ad- ■ of por'.: products to (i>u>iimptlon would . kd and expots 1 •-a export il*manci V . u'-.1 '-‘f '■'•lirso 1)0 : enrni'''c^ of many 'tcaniiihips :■ iluced P Special to The News.

Statesville, July 29.—A chapter of accidents yesterday afternoon kept some of the Statesville physicians on the go. Fortunately, none of the vic tims of the accidents are dangerous ly hurt, though all had narrow es capes. Adjutant General R. L. Leinster, of Raieigh, who came to Statesville Wednesday to attend the funeral of his fathc-r, had a close call yesterday afternoon at the home of his moth er when he took by mistake a dose of kreso for cough medicine. Kreso is a disinfectant and is very poison and Gen. Leinster became violently ill.
