Indeed, it is one of tho mis fortunes of North Carolina that she j has no city like Uichnioiid hi Virgin ! ia or Atlanta in Ceoro-'m. A bigeity j is the heart of a State and its pulse is felt to iis furthermost boundaries. I Onlv in a big eitv can there be lai libraries, line art collections and oth-i . hun urn b:u agencies. Opportunities for the largest business talent, the greatest medical skill, the widest le-o-al learnino- t an only be found in cities. Only in a bi- city can a bi nevspaH'f Vie published and it is a positive misfortune that there is no city in North Carolina bi.if enough to warrant the publication of a lii newspaper complete in all depart ments. For the lack of this the' whole State sutlers, and our people! are to a considerable decree without the progressive spirit which belongs to this day and generation. It is lto, to In- conservative, fait it is not 'nuj to be noii-proivs.sive. .Movement is the order of the uni- j verse. The rreat sea itself, bevause j it has the tides, because storms lash ' the surface and current.-, sweep alono1. : is kept from stagnation, lotion is ! progress: an idea will stir a nation. , Do we not as a people th'sire more j progress and more ideas'.' The dom-1 inant powers are the press, the pu!- j pit and the school, but the press is; the oreatest of those because viile-.t and most general in its inlluence. Now let us look at newspapers from the standpoint of the readers the public Does it concern them whether in this State there are otlil newspapers or only llltl' Our idea is that the public will be better served with inn than with oim. for the news paper, like the postoftice system, is etticient because only in an exten sive field can it oive ooo.l service at low rates. It is not to the interest of the people in any city of North Carolina to have two newspapers where one is well conducted. In small communities a duplication of newspapers means a diminished newn service and that is prejudicial to the people. For some years to come there will be but three cities in this State for mornino; dailies: ail other dailies must be local papers. Now let us consider the village pa per. Rocs it offer a held for proiit or ability? Xo. Does it do the vil lage anv real ''nod? Yes, a little. Would that same village be more! benefitted by freipient mention ia a j better paper of larger circulation? j Decidedly so. for that would be an i advertisement which would be read j by many who would otherwise never i think of the place in question. The : village paper, however, tends to in-, terf.-re with the tow n paper and pre-j vents ood new.-papcrs. In other I words, the press and the people would be better oil with fewer but better papers. "Wherever you enlarge the (.ppor tiuiities of a newsjiaper you inc rease its excellence.

Moreover they stated that they hud done all they could to keep him in ignorance of it. because they knew he would disapprove of it. Ceore Ransom is a younj man of about twenty-live, and I have always found him to be unusually cautious and discreet. Ar thur Barnes is about nfty years old. Everybody here of a speculative turn who has the money, speculates in stocks, just as the' do in North Car olina and everywhere else. Senator Ransom has not owned one cent's worth of stocks since he has been in the Senate. lie could have been a multi millionaire, if he had used the interior information his pisition as Chairman of the li.

SiK-chil C'orn.'sii,n,lrnpe. New York, June 27). lS'.ll. During the past week there has been a moderate enlargement tif the volume of business in a few depart ments, but no general quickening of trade. The industrial outlook has been brightened by the partial re sumption of bituminous coal minin;, which will shortly lead to a renewal of operations by mills and factories that had been obliged to shut down on account of the .scarcity of fuel. The settlement of the strike may be expected to result iii some recovery in railroad earnings, which declined 17..") per cent, in May and 21.08 per cent, in the first week of June. Contrary to expectation, the gold export movement has been renewed on a large scale, and the week's ship ments of $7,7."iMMN") have ljeen main ly at the expense of the Treasury gold fund. The conference of New York bankers with a view to the re lief of the Treasury has not yet been followed by any important contribu tion for gold export, but the belief that the banks will unite to prevent a further depletion of the Treasury reserve by supplying the gold that may be required for shipment has al layed apprehension concerning the effect of the outflow uixm financial confidence. Merchandise exports are moderate, and for the month so far show a com parative gain of only ?(02,071; but the approach of the harvest season encourages the expectation of an ear ly enlargement of shipments of wheat and other produce. Imports contin ue small, and for half of June the New York ligures show a compara tive decrease of 8i;.l.)7.7o7. Accord ing to R. f!.

Cotton has had a narrow market, and there has been no important net change in prices. Receipts are small, but st-H.-ks are ample: the ex j, tort movement is light, and crop pros pects continue favorable. Remand i from spinners is rejiorted to be light, j but the Financial Chronicle figures! show that Northern mills in the first 1 half of June took '15.0-JO bah as against riT!.sr! bales for the corn - spondinir period lat year.

There has been an active specula tive movement in wheat and a net advance in prices of 1 ' toll cents 1 weather in the Northwest, which j has interfered with the growth of spring -wheat, have been the princi pal bullish factors in the market. The interior movement is small, and there has been a considerable de crease in visible stocks in this coun try and afloat for Europe. The de crease in supplies on passage indi cates a decline in exports from Ar gentina and other countries which had been previously underselling do mestic wheat in European markets. The harvesting of winter wheat is progressing favorably in southerly localities, and conditions elsewhere continue satisfactory. Corn prices have advanced to I of a cent, and oats show a further net gain of 2 to cents per bushel, as a result of light stocks and bullish manipulation in speculative markets. Export demand for corn has contin ued moderate. Chicago prices have risen IV2 cents per barrel on ork, 7'. cents per low pounds on lard, and JO cents per UK) pounds on short ribs, largely from sympathy with the strength of the grain markets. West- ern receipts tif hogs have continued large, anu so lar mis season a comparative increase of 1,.1.),0()() head. There has been a fairly active domestic distribution of provisions, ami exports have continued to exceed those for the same period last year. lit Wanted a DtniMe Mcssi-iir.

Chickens have been performing some remarkable freaks this year by laying marvelously inscrilicd eggs, hatching youngsters in a few hours, etc., but we recently heard a well authenticated duck story which proves that in progro anil improve ments the webfect do not intend to allow the chickens to carry off all the honors. Mrs. James Ribson, a few weeks ago. set a hen on duck eggs and when the ducklings a p -eared some had four legs, some three and some two. Her daughter. Mrs. Sid Setzer, set aIout to discover the rea son for so many legs, ami oil break ing several eggs tif the same duck that originated the monstrosities, found one with a perfect egg inside, shell and all, about the size of a par tridge egg. The supiosition is that this was the case with the eggs that brought forth the many legged thicks and that the inside eggs furnished part of the legs. A Serious Fright. C.iid.rd Times. Some Ixvys, desiring to have fun late last Saturday evening, math a snake with curved form, raised head and forked tongue, tied a string to it, hid behind the fence, holding one end of th" string, and awaited devel opments.

On seeing the snake Mrs. Bostian became so much frightened that she fainted, and was confined to her bed for a day or so.
