Last Friday night about midnight Mrs. Sullie Walker, who lives at White's null, about a mile and a half southeast of Statesville. was awak ened by a noise in her room. Having matches on a chair by the bed she struck a light and was, horrified to see the head and shoulders of a negro man under her bed. Mrs. Walker screamed and her brother, Mr. John A. White, wlio was sleeping in an adjourning room who had been awak ened by the noise in her room before his sister screamed, came to her as sistance, pistol in hand. When Mr. White got in the room the negro had scrambled from under the bed and w as standing on his feet. Tie proved to be Will White, a 1 3-year-old hoy w ho had been working on the place for some time. Mr. White covered him with his pistol and made him sit down in :: corner while he told 1 sister to go for their father. Mr. w. j W. White, who lives close bv. When the latter arrived the two tied the negro and kept him until next morn ing, when lie was brought to town and given a hearing before E. ii. Stimson. Esip. who sent him to jail. The negro had entered the house by crawling through the window sash where a glass, had been remov ed. He pretended to be drunk when i arrested but this was assumed. Mr. ! White's house has been twice enier- ed within the past year or so by some one who was frightened away before he could be captured, and he has no doubt now but that this bov was the guilty party. About Debt Pay in jr. C'Uirord Times. The Salem town commissioners have taken a new departure. They have passed an ordinance to the effect that officers who do not pay their debts will be discharged. This is right. No man who persistently refuses to pay his debts is tit to be long to the street cleaning gang, muc h less to the police force. There are people in other places besides Salem who will not pay their honest debts. We have had experience with some of them. They are not only not worth anything to a town, but are a positive drawback to it. A man who buys anything not expect ing to pay for it. or who makes no effort to pay for it would steal if he was not afraid of the penitentiary. A N rro Keheads His Wife.

Aa Open Letter from Arp to Dr. Alex antler, of Allaal a. To my old friend Dr. Alexander. Dear Jim: That is still the name for me to call you the old familiar name. "Jim Alex," and I love to hear you call me "Bill" as you did in the long ago when we were boys. We are not as notable as Toombs and Stephens, but they called each other Dob and Alex because they began that way, and the names grew dearer as they receded from their youth. Jim is a good name anyhow and I do believe there is something in it. There were five Presidents named Jim. and several Governors and all the Jims we knew at school were boys of character strong in force and will, though not overly pious. You remember Jim Wilson and Jim Maltbie and Jim Craig and Jim Smith and big Jim Dunlap. who still lives as the typical son of old Gwinnett. lie was older than our set. but we looked up to him and could always hear him before he came in sight. lie was a Jim dandy tben and he is yet. Let's talk about the dear old times I a little while for we are getting lone ly, you and I and Tom. Are we all that are left of the boys we mingled with in our early youth? Sad, isn't it. We had scores of playmates, but old Father Time has cut them down, the old rascal. The Maltbries and Whins and Craigs and Wilsons and Terrels and Shaklefords and Youngs and Rambos. are all dead. And the boys who came from abroad to the institute are there any left but Tom Norwood? The Lintons are. all dead. I know: Sam and John and Jim. and so are the two Harris bovs. nd Ed and Jolm Oouldiuj? aa Holts, all except Thad. themischiev ous rascal. lie is living yet in Ala bama, not far from Montgomery. Did I ever tell you that it was Thad and Jim Linton who stole your father's bee gum one night and got Mtung so bad they had to drop it and run for their lives? The Hoyles are dead. too. and the Allans Thomps j and Bill what a glorious fellow was Thompson Allan. Don't vou remem-! ber how he licked Martin del Gardo ! because Martin licked me? Martin j was a big boy and I was a little one. and Thomps dared him to tackle a boy of his size, and he tackled. I could just go on and on and say dead, dead every time. And all our teachers are dead. Dr. Wilson and John Norton and Cargill and Dr. Patterson and McAlpine and John Gray. They were all gtnd men. Jim. don't you remember Penelope McAlpine? What a sweet, pretty girl she was aud how she was my sweetheart, and oue day when Tom Skeggs called her Penny-lope I bounced him and we fit and tore hair mazing. I What makes everybody die, Dr. ! Jim die before they have seen their three-score years and ten? Are there) only three or four in a huudred who pass the Rubicon? Can't you doc tors do nothing? No, I reckon not, for the doctors die, too. All the doc tors we knew when we were boys are dead, and those boys who became doctors are all dead but you, my friend. May the good Lord preserve vou for many years to honor your ; calling and help the suffering. Just j think how many have gone to join their patients in the spirit land. Dr. Gordon, who so nobly braved the yellow fever in Savannah, and Dr. Winn and Maltbie and Craig and Wilson and Alexander and my broth er. Deal, good gentle Tom Wilson! How we all loved him. He caught me and Bill Maltbie and Overton j Young playing old sledge in a gully I one day and talked to us kindly, but never told on-us, and wft' promised to quit, but dident. And don't you ! remember that Jim Craig had one short forefinger? One day while one of the bovs was carelessly hack- ing on a log with a little hatchet Jim dared him to cut his linger off, and would slip it onto the log while the hatchet was raised and pull it away quickly before it came down, but he tried it once too often and left a joint of his finger on the log. What a big time you young doc tors had when you were stud3'ing medicine, and had to hunt up your own stiffs and boil them down for skeletons. I went out with you alj one night to Redland graveyard and helped to dig up a negro and we heard something like the click of a gun lock, and such a stampede I never was in before. We left our shovels in the grave and the little wagon in the bushes and never stop ped riming for a quarter of a mile. But we went back and reconnoitered and found it was a false alarm and we got the body and hauled it to an old house in the rear of Dr. Wild man's shop. Another time some of yon went down to Monroe after a negro wdio was hung and he was cut up in an old outhouse on the park lot. You remember that I bought that lot and moved there just after my marriage and when my wife found out what was done there she made me tear the old house down and burn it up and even then the servants heard the haunts all night long. My wife has great confidence in me as a protector from earthly foes, but when it comes to spirits of unjust men not made perfect she is not so sure. When a bouse gets the name of being haunted it disturbs all female serenity and so I sold out and moved to Rome, and we badent been in our new abode u week before a naboring woman came to see us and said, "Folks used to say that this house was haunted, but I reckon you ain't afeerd of haunts." And don't you remember when mesmerism fir t came about and j how you and your doctor cousin, j a fifth-story window in New York. John Alexander: used to practice Crazed by drink, John Stack fatal onthat little monkey of a nigger, j v stabbed James Stanton in a fight lobe Kussed. and could put him to(Ut Girard.sville Pa., Tuesday night. sleep in half a minute and straighten his arm like a stick and made him taste sugar when it was salt, and don't you remember how we used to take laughing gas when that first came about and how one day Nick Amberg took it in the street in front of his tailor shop and got wild as a buck and gathered his big shears and ran Vivian Holmes into the hotel and scared him nearly to death? Amberg dident like Holmes no how, and I always had my doubts about ! the gas part of the business. Am-i berg was a Norwegian and a good ! citizen, but he was an awful Demo crat. When Franklin Pierce was nominated for President and the news came to our town Amberg threw up his hat and shouted 'Tie is ter very man, ter pest man of all," and then he whispered to my father "vot did you say his name vos." He too had a boy named Jim, and he1 always called him Yames. And don't you remember how you whig boys celebrated the election of Governor Crawford and we Demo crats stole your cannon the night before and hid it in a swamp and you never got to lire it nary time?

And how sweet and sad it is to re call the memories that cluster around the old Fairview church where your folks and our folks used to go to meeting in the old family carriages and carry cold dinners to eat be tween the morning and evening ser mons. What a feat were those dinners! The chicken and the home made sausage, stuffed sausage in "1'mked sweetness long drawn out. and the boiled eggs for the boys and the turnover pies and c m ikies for a finish. Bow good and solemn were old Dr. Wilson and Dr. Patterson w hose name was Jim, and how sooth ing were their sermons when they discoursed of iustification and sancti - fication and predestination and free will and original sin. With what ; sanction from on high old Father Noel and Father Liddell and Father' Mills used to raise the tune to "Come, Humble Sinner, in Whose Breast" and all the congregation 1 joined in and fairh' made the old church tremble. That good old hymn ' is not in our hymn books now and ail who sang it in the old church are dead, nearly all, but you and me and ' Tom. I remember where our good ; mothers sat yours and mine and j how our good fathers used to pass the bread and the wine on commun- ion days and we boys looked on in ! reverential silence. Those dear old fathers and mothers are waiting for us, Jim waiting for you, me and Tom. But everything has shrank up, Jim, the old church seems not half ... 1. ,. In it leilf CI. " . .

Finance and Trade. Special Correspondence. New York, Oct. 1C, IStW. Commercial affairs during the last week have developed no improve ment. Any betterment of business has been deferred by the disgraceful obstruction in the United States Senate of the legislation that is need ed to restore confidence and give stability to the currency of the coun. try. While precious time lias been wasted by the filibustering tactics of silver Senators, the substantial business interests of the nation have continued to suffer from the paralyz ing effects of uncertainty and dis trust. It is no longer an insufficient supply of available money that em barrasses trade; but a prevalent dis inclination to venture its employ ment in the development of business is causing a steady accumulation of idle capital. Merchants are reluct ant to add to stocks in excess of most pressing wants; and the curt ailed outlet for manufactures retards the resumption of industries and the re-employment of idle labor. Bank clearings have fallen a third below the totals for the correspond ing period last year; and railroad earnings, in spite of the heavy World's Fair traffic and improved financial facilities for the movement of produce, are more than 10 per cent, below the figures of a year ago. Merchandise exports last week were over Sl.lMt0.0U0 below the totals for j the corresponding week last year; j but they still exceeded the imports, j which in the first week in October j declined $7.!l'.i2.7(;. In the last six j week's exports from New York alone i have increased sMlSll.'.t;, while im- . ports in five weeks have declined 1 $2:i.:i34.oii3. ; Cotton prices receded 3-1 ( of a ! cent earlv in the week, owing to aamage irom cyclonic weather, ihe crop movement has increased, and is now uln.ut equal to that of last season: but exerts since September 1 have been r.3.000 bales less, and Northern spinners' takings TS.OnO bales less, than they were during the corresjionding period last, year. Some business has been done in print cloths at i of a cent advance; but the general trad" in cotton gomls has continued dull. Immediate wants have been the guide to jobbers' pur chases of all lines of dry goods. The wool trade has been quiet, as the lessened consumption has reduc ed requirements for immediate wants; and there has been no incent ive to speculation. Business in wool en goods has been sluggish generally. Distributors are gradually reducing i stot.ks U1 ilUU(lt hut ihi j)rot.ess js slmv owing to the general trade depression and lack of confidence; ; anti u feeling of uncertainty as to ; the future of values restrains the ; placing of orders for future delivery. It is upon the latter that most manufacturers depend to continue j production: and while a few mills are busy, the majority of working estab- lishments are running on part time ! r with depleted labor forces. Nothing in the wheat supply sit uation has justified the further dec line of 2 to 2 cent per bushel which has occurred in the wheat markets since last week. Immediately avail able stocks have been increased, and new business on foreign orders have been less active; but while these features of the situation have dis couraged any advance, the chief cause of weakness has been the dis turbance of confidence by the delay ed settlement of the silver question. Counting crop and reserves as equiv alent to 300.000.000 bushels on July 1 last, and deducting 63.000,000 bushels exported down to the close of last week, there should remain in this country at least 4:17.000,000 bushels, visible and invisible, the market value of which is alout $11, 000,000 less than it was a week ago. This is what Senatorial courtesy has cost the farmers of the country and the commerical holders of wheat in a single week. The Government estimate of the condition of corn in dicated a yield 07,000,000 bushels smaller than that of last year. As last year's crop was deficient, the reserves fromlS'Jl were considerable reduced; and statistically the posi tion of the corn trade is much stron ger than it was a year ago, when the price was 31 cents higher. Yet the same discouraging influence that has depressed wheat values, in spite of the already low cost aud the smal lest yield since 1S85, has forced a decline of to 1 cent per bushel in the prices of corn.
