The city has been thronged with

Baptist clergymen on their way to the
State convention in Wilmington, and
were Methodist preachers on their way
to Conference in 'Newbern, which con

days in your city last week, where
they were guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. B. Smith.
We have often watched and admired
an auto, from the fact we naturally
have a hankering for machinery, and
have often thought we would like to be
the proud owner of one, of the bucking
variety. But not until recently did
we learn why they were called a "Run
about." (the very reason why we do
not like them,) and that is they run
about two miles and stop, very ap
propriate, so far as our observation
goes.
We met a familiar and very polite
darkey along the road who was feeling
m ighty good from the effects of a dram
or two, and he remarked, with a smile
all over his face, "Well, doctor, I ex
pose you think it is my retention not
to pay my 'count, and I isn't got no
money by me right now, but I can con-
v you a bar'l er cawn." We told
him to bricg the "cawn" along, and to
hereafter, when gratifying his epicu
rean palatability for the ardent.beware
of excessive indulgence sufficient, to
predispose cerebral hyperemia. He re
marked with a still bigger smile, "Yes
sir, I is."

The press of the country, especially
the independent press,, is receiving Mr.
Bryan's plan for overcoming the
Roosevelt panic with no small degree
of la vor. "Some," says, the; Chicago
Record-Herald, "have eagerly endorsed
it as a measure which would contribute
powerfully toward the restoration of
confidence. Others see merit in its
principle while pointing out omissions,
difficulties, objections, and winding up
with the declaration that the plan de
serves serious study, both by Congress
and by the banking community."
The plan calls for a government
guaranty of deposits in the National
banks, the goyemment to be insured
asainst loss by tax imposed on the
banks. This simply makes a strong
com bination ot the National banks, and
the benefit would far outrun the cost.
The history of 40 years shows that the
proposed tax would be less than one
tenth of 1 per cent of the aggregate de
posits. ,
The benefits to the National banks
would be so great that the State banks
are alarmed by the proposition, bu(
Mr. Bryan points out that each State
bank could give a like guaranty to its
banks. The plan in its entirety calls
for the insuring of deposits in the Na
tional banks by the government, and
in the State banks of the States, re.
spectively, the risk in each case to be
duly paid for just as a risk by fire,
burglary or accident is paid for.
If Mr. Bryan's plan is rejected the
banks in self-defense and to prevent
flurries will yet have to form a oombi
nation on simiilar lines. In cities they
are combined through clearing houses,
and th savings banks of New York
State are to-day working on a plan
that involves mutual help and co-oper
ation, which may be said to be the
basic principle of Mr. Bryan's plan.

Along with the advent ot the hoi -
days also comes the season for "going
out of business" sales, and from ' the
numerous signs displayed one would
think tbat there was either a depress
Jon in; business circles or tbat ' quite a
number had made it sufficiently profit
able to justify them to retire to private
life. But in this day of fierce competi
tion in all lines of ; business the man
who fails to advertise fails also to dis
pose , or ills goods, ana the most
catchy" advertisement secures . the
most c ustomers, especially if there5 is a
probability of getting goods at cost, or
even marked down irom two dollars to
one ninety eight as it is natural for one
to want the most goods for the least
money.
Last Wednesday morning, accom
panied by our little daughter Mildred,
we caught the early train South, and
after a pleasant ride of a lew hours, we
reached the "city by the sea," spend
ing a snort time there, we boarded the
electric car, which as the Chinaman
aid, "no pushee, no pullee, but run
like h lee, all the satnee," and soon
reached our destination Wrights ville
where we enjoyed the hospitality of
Mr. A. J. Northam and daughters,
Misses Ophelia and Norma, and Mr.
and Mrs. Jaines A. Northam, and paid
our respects, not only to the festive
bird whose heards are sacrificed upon
the altar ot trfe nations Thanksgiving,
but also to the luscious bivalves, and
other salt water products, . right from
nature's wonderfully inexhaustible
storehouse. We had a most delightful
trip, and felt that there was increased
ause for us to give thanks to the Great
God of ' the Universe, for His many
blessings, and especially for letting the
lines fall to us in such pleasant plaees.
Old ocean loses none of its grandeur to
us, nor fails to make us feel our insigni
ficance, and as we watched the white
crested' breakers chasing each other
upon its restless bosom, we not only
lemembered the day set apart for na
tional Thanksgiving,- but , an earnest
prayer arose in our heart tht when
our frail life's barque shall, break from
its mooring here, and we drift out into
the sea of eternity, we may find safe
anchorage in the Haven of Rest. '
