It is well that the suit for an ac counting lnaUttrted against Mrs. Mary Baker O. Eddy as head of the Chris tian Science sect has ibeen finally dis missed. The charges, which never had any good motive behind them, seem to have fallen to the ground. Mrs. Eddy is not mentally incompe tent, and if Hke and her riches are in the hands of designing persons the fact remains entirely unproved. The relief among Iter following -eome ob servers Bay her future worshipers'1- is bound to be great. A notable among the Confederate commanders passed out of earthly view a few days ago with the death of Gen. James II. Lane. Though not a native of this State nor very lorjg a citizen of it, he commanded many North Carolinians In the civil war and won the ' admiration, confidence and affeion of them all. He was an Intrepid officer and a gentle, lovable gentleman. The tiding of his dii, will cause a pang In the hearts Of all who knew him. 'With a ood recolrd behind him Mr. fi. S.

Two Confederate ; veterans, ol Greensboro, who fought through the civil war of forty-five years ago, prob ably without getting mad, fell put the other day about the ownership of some chickens and fought Hike doga.

To the latter : the superin tendent replied with some warmth.'' There was a long debate as to whether or not Professor Davidson should be allowed the use of the school building. Superintendent Graham stated tnat this was not Mr. Davidson's fight, that he had 'been asked by the children and parents of those who were behind to "coach ' them and had been given permission by the chairman of the committee on grounds and buildings.

The result of this announcement was an vlmmedlata demand ' for four - or Ave times the amount of the loan re . im nnn quired by the-city, and the $40,000, 000 of boftds were disposed of at an average price " ot xlOi;, ; Yesterday these same bonds .were selling at 105 7-8, making the interest . rate about 4 14 per cent, '. This revived demand for municipal bonds was not JustificaUon of the bankers' general recovery from the alarmi ap proaching panic, into , wnicn a in vestors had been thrown by the vari ous onslaughts ; upon capital. - Many things have contributed to this re covery -Judicial decisions, the soberer tone of political pronouncements, tne evidence .that the business of the country,. was prospering In spite of natunal relaxation of the demands far financial support, capital, In Its turn, grows less suspicious ' and - exacting, and the wheels again begin to move.
