During the past two months bills have been mailed to about sixteen hundred subscribers to the Weekly Star. The aggregate amount due on these bills was very large, but the aggregate amount thus far paid is comparatively small. It is hoped every subscriber in ar rears will read this notice, and that he wil forward the amount due us at once. I It is unjust to the proprietor to read hisnewspaper without paying for jt4-fully as much so as for the proprietor of the paper to eat the farmers chickens and eggs and then fail or! refuse to remunerate him. We thank those of our subscribers who have paid us, and trust ;this ap peal will not be lost oh those who have not paid. :! WOOL-GROWING IB" THE SOUTH. j The South is the cotton-producing section of this country, simply for the reason that It Is the only section whose climate favors cotton-growing, and for, the same reason the South ought to be the great wool-growing section. While wool-growing is not governed to the same extent by climate as cotton-growing is, the profits depend so much upon climate that in some sections the! industry i has been practically abandoned, and transferred :to the more favoring ! clime, or to the wide ranges of other sections where the cheap spring and summer pasturage was more than an offset tathe cost of winter keep ing. - . . r. As a' profitable industry wool growing is utterly : impossible in a section where the winters are long and the value of lands high, for the amount of lands must be propor tionate to the number of sheep kept uponthem. In the central States, where there are no open ranges, where the lands run from twenty five to a hundred dollars an acre, no one would think of engaging ex tensively in sheep-culture, for if he did and didn't raise enough to eat he would starve to death. In the early days of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and 'Other States North of the Potomac and Ohio rivers there were a good many sheep but that was when there " was a good deal of open range and every man was not bound to pasture . his flocks upon his own land,but as the ranges were taken up by settlers and put under cultivation the flocks de creased in number until now very lit tle attention is given to sheep raising except by a few men who raise fancy stock and sell for fancy prices. They are not wool-growers, for wool does not enter as a factor in their opera tions. : The land pays better in grain, pork and other things for which there are near markets and ample trans portation. . j j So in time will the sheep belt in the ranges West of the Mississippi move further . South for the same reason that it crossed the Mississippi and sought cheap pasturage. With the extension of railroads and the building of new ones, these ranges will be taken up and go under culti vation, and there will be practically a free range no longer. The lands will increase in value as the lands further East have !done, and it will be found that there is no longer profit In a few fleeces to the acre on thirty or fifty dollar land, especially where there is not a ready and a paying market for lambs and mutton, which farmers in the Western States who raise sheep find more profitable than wool. Industries, whether of the farm or the shop, or the factory, like water, seek their level, and permanently last and prosper only where the con ditions are favorable. They may be forced or pampered, but when the forcing and pampering cease, there will be very little left of them. As the South is the cotton-growling section of this country it will eventually be the great wool-producing section, for broad ranges and cheap pasturage will be found in the South when, they can be found no where else. ' In the cotton-growing States, the attention of our farmers has been . so absorbed with cotton growing, and in the tobacco-growing States with tobacco growing that they have given very ltttle attention to wool growing or to anything else, even to the raising of enough to eat and to feed the stock that made their crops of cotton and tobacco, preferring to raise cotton and tobacco . and .to buy the food stuffs 'they T - m . . nceaea, wnetner tney made any money raising cotton and tobacco or not This condition practically ruled the whole South, for where the cotton belt ended the tobacco belt v began. Cotton and tobacco were the two hobbles, and (without meaning ' any disrespect) the two lunacies of the Southern farmer. They are get 'ting out of that, however, as time and experience "have shown them their folly. v If our people have been slow to ' ' ' ' " i Miss M , . .. t I . . . ... . : . ... I iM discover the advantages of our sec tion as a wool-growing section, others have not been so slow and in some States the industry is making consid erable progress, for the reasons which we have cited in the beginning of this article. Referring to this in dustry in the South the Manchester (England) Textile Mercury quotes the British Consul at Mobile, Alabama, as follows: ,. . . ' : "The sheep industry is making greater strides than that of any other stock-raising in the South, and not only the cli mate, but the excellent ranges for such give advantages possessed by no other section of t this country. Breeders ot sheep not only from the North and Western States, but also frem Europe, are taking a lively interest m sheep farm ing, and are investing largely. These ranges can be purchased now at about 3s. 4d. per acre, and of these dry high lands hundreds of thousands of acres may be secured. Disease is unknown as the flocks foaming the country have always a dry, clean ground on which to lie, and, therefore, foot rot. scab and other diseases of sheep do not decimate the Southern flocks. When the natfve sheep, hardy and of good-sized bone, are crossed with either Snowdown, Leices ter or Merinoes, the offspring is a valua ble sheep, with a wool cut averaging as high as sir pounds each, although half breed withers clip over ten pounds to the fleece. ;There are no burrs or any thing else to injure the fleece. It re quires no washing, and is in demand not only in the American woolen factories, but in those of Britain. There is a field open here for a profitable development ot the sheep industry." There are millions of acres of land in every Southern State which would make excellent sheep ranges, much of which on account of its rugged nature cannot be profitably devoted to anything else. There are also millions of acres of forest lands which will not be needed for farming pur poses for many years to come, on which sheep would thrive splendidly "All of these lands can be bought cheaply, and some at merely nomi nal prices. Turned .into- sheep ranges they would become immensely valuable. At present, as in the past, the only real drawback to profitable sheep culture has been destruction done by dogs, but where the indus try was largely " followed this could be obviated for ! in that case the sheep raiser could employ men to at tend and watch over his flocks, as they do in the West and other coun tries.

It is the im print of a Government on paper, or its stamp on metal which makes money. The only difference between the two is that the paper has only a value as money for circulating pur poses in the country in which j it is printed as money, while the coin has a recognized value in other countries because of the value they put upon the metal itself. It receives no addi tional value in one country because of the stamp of another Government upon it. The "fiat" which makes it "money" in one country does ' not make it "money" in another. It is true in countries between which there is commercial intercourse the money of each may be accepted in the other though not generally current, be cause it can be readily exchanged. It is very rare that a piece of foreign coin is found in circulation in this country and very rare that an Ameri can coin is found in circulation in Europe. The American tourist, for instance, gets his letters of Credit and draws on the European banker for the money he needs in the coun try in which he Is sojourning. One half the people he meets wouldn't know an American coin if they saw it. as a matter ot ract money is money "only when the government "fiat" which makes it money is re cognized. 1 j When the legal tender notes were first issued they were ridiculed as "fiat" money and were called "green backs" partly in derision, yet that fiat" money has stood for thirty years, passed through all the finan cial commotions, is to-day the equa of gold or silver, and instead of being called in. and destroyed as contem plated, it is perpetuated, though not originally so designed It is in all respects pr.rely a "fiat money, with no so-called intrinsic value, but equal to any money in money properties, because it has behind it the faith of of 62,000,000 of .people. Paper "fiat money is Very good money provided it comes from the right source and caries with it the right endorsement. There is "cheap" money in the sense in which the -term is most frequently used only when the Gov ernment which puts its imprint upon it cannot honor the drafts. Then its promises to' pay become depreciated and become "cheap," or worthless, liut in a solvent and resDonsible Government, which keeps its pledges and preserves its financial honor, there is no such thing as "cheap" money, Nine-tenths of the human family in civilized countries earn the bread they eat and the clothes that cover them by labor of some (kind, and there is not one of these that doesn't find himself giving a great deal of labor for very little money. In other words the money is dear and the lapor cheap. Scan the world over, including the countries which pay the highest wages, and note how little the laboring man, even when thrifty and economical has to his creditat the end of -the year, after paying, for the' necessaries of life, with but few of the comforts, and scarcely any of the luxuries. .He has toiled ; tor desfr money, which took sweat toget. Has the cotton grower ; of the South or the grain grower of the I West, in all this talk of "cheap" money found any cheap money ? .The cotton grower has worked early and late to make cotton for which he got civ or seven cents a Dound when he should have received twice as much .i j -n muscle in raising it. The money he got for his cotton was no "cheap. money to him. If it had been cheaper he would have gotten more fof his cotton. : 1 The wheat grower who plowed in the Fall or Spring and harvested in Summer's scorching heat, and sold his wheat for sixty-five or seventy cents a bushel when he should have gotten twice as much, found no "eheaD" monev to him.: If it had 4 been cheaper he would have received more for the wheat he raised. The sense in which the term is most applied in these days by those who seem to dread it, is the equiva lent of worthless. In another sense, and the.true pne, there s "cheap in contradistinction to "dear" money when it is plentiful, easily gotten and interest low, when the lender is anx ious to lend, and the capitalist anx ious to invest, when it is . not locked up but turned loose to fill the true mission of money. Then it becomes "cheap," and that kind of cheap money, which every one recognizes, utilizes, and does not lock up, is the money that carries prosperity with it and blesses as it goes. Then the la borer is paid better for the work of his hands, the farmer for the fruit of his fields, the manufacturer for the products of his shops or factories then commerce flourishes, great en terprises entered upon and executed, there is progress everywhere and the busy world trips along light-hearted, joyous and happy. Readers of the Weekly Star will please observe that they are required to send only two coupons and ten cents for three of the Star novels. In the advertisement, it is stated that four coupons are necessary, but this applies only to the Daily Star. Some men become famous in spite of themselves and sometimes just at a time when they don't want to be famous, which was th&case with the Texas man who in 1865 wrote a poem in honor of Booth, the slayer of Abraham Lincoln. He had for gotten all about it and so had every body else except one small-souled individual who lugged it out and had it published because the writer had been appointed to a Government po sition. The man who could resort to such means to injure one he did not like would murder his mother-in-law for a punched nickel. Read the Star's great offer of books m this paper. Readers of the Weekly Star can secure these standard novels by sending two of the coupons and ten cents in silver or stamps. Read the advertisement for full particulars.

Morehead City, June 28, 1893.- The Teacher's Assembly is now in ses sion with quite a large attendance, but not &s large by a good deal as last year. A Mr. Plant, of Chicago, had the management of the Atlantic Hotel at that time and his treatment of the large number of guests was of such a nature- very poor accommodations for the value given as , had a tendency to keep great many away; fearing the same treatment this season. But your correspondent is happy to in form those who are kept awav bv this Deuel, tnat tne notei is under different management and is admirably kept. Mr, .ferry, tne manager, is an oia notelist and knows how to cater to the comforts of his guests. The crowd is not large, but large enough to make it yery pleas ant ana aeiigattui. The Wewbern iHouse is also admira bly well kept and being- a cosy, auiet place, makes it desirable for those who do not enjoy a large crowd. The train stops in front of the house, which makes it very convenient for getting off and on the cars. The camp for the State Guard is be ing rapidly cleaned up, preparatory to receiving tne soldier boys when thev come. The camp is situated about two and a half miles from town, and imme diately on the railroad and near Rogue sound, me piace is quite shady, and aouotiess will be a good camp ground.

Proceedings Instituted by the 8Ute Ti urer In the Superior Court for Wake County A Motion to be Heard By Jadge Boykln to Vacate the Appoint ment of Mr. Davie aa Receiver. State Treasurer S. McD. Tate has in stituted proceedings in the Superior Court of Wake county, for the. purpose of winding up and settling the affairs of the Bank ot New Hanover, and for the appointment of a receiver thereof, as rej- qulred by act of the State Legislature, Dassed at the session of 1891. Papers in the case were received here Monday I evening by bheritt btedman. and were served upon the Bank authorities that night. 'I.J; Yesterday forenoon, notification was served upon the bank officers and the receiver, Mr. Junius Davis, to appear be fore Judge E. T. Boykin, of the Superior Court, in chambers at Clinton, on Fri day, July 7th, at 12 o'clock noon, to show cause why the order appointing Mr. unius Davis receiver should not be vacated. The motion is made by cer tain creditors of the bank represented by Jno. D. Bellamy, Jr., and Ricaud & Weill, attorneys. j M Petitions are iq circulation and have received numerous signatures, asking the continuance of Mr. Davis as receiver of the bank. I il I The following is a copy of the call issued for a meeting of creditors of j the bank to be held this evening in I the court room at the City Hall, referred to in the Star of yesterday, viz: j "At the request of many depositors of the Bank of New Hanover there will be a meeting at the city court .room, on Wednesday, June 28th, at 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of taking some joint action to protect the interests of the depositors of above bank. , All parties interested are invited to appear promptly. ; i SEABOARD AIR LINE. j j Third and Lnat Call-" Ticket Gentle men," for Portsmouth and Baleigh "Hoot, Toot, Toot." j M i I Although all of the changes of offices and officers of the Seaboard Air Line have been already foreshadowed cor-j rectly in the Star, final official action has just been taken. At a meeting of the Directors or the Seaboard Air Line held in Baltimore yesterday, Mr. John H. Sharp was formally elected Treas4 urer, and has been ordered to make ar4 rangements to remove, with; his assis tants, to Portsmouth at once. Mr. Wm, Moncure, who is now Super intendent of both ttig'Carolina Centra and the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line and Mr. W. F.. Williams, now Train Master of the Carolina Central, are both ordered to report at Raleigh, their new headquarters, in a few ; days. The full scope of Mr. Williams' hew duties has not yet transpired, but 'the Star trusts he will hold a position of increased dignity and increased pay.! , ; Another important change is the loss of the railroad shops to Laurinburg. The employes and machinery will be removed to Raleigh and to Abbeville, S. C. Capt. James Maglenn.as Master Mechanic, will be in charge of the shops at Raleigh, Mr. C. W. Walker of those at! Portsmouth, va., ana xar. r. j. isoenran oi tnose at Abbeville, S. C, on the line of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern. Amid all this wreck of mind and mat. ter, it is a comfort to know that one man has been spared to us in the person of our old friend and quondam Star re porter, i nos. u. Meares, who will keep "open house" in the building! belonoincr to the K. S., on Front street where he will represent the freight and passenger business of the Seaboard Air Line, and l I Ml I . . wucrc an oracrs win uc executed with neatness and despatch." ; j Finally, "friends and brethren," the Star Is authorized to den th - tiferous rumor that the Front atrr building lis to be taken up bodily and shipped to Portsmouth as fourth-class freight at owner's risk of leakage.

It is understood that the question of liability of the bank at Wadesboro as a branch of the Bank of New Hanover at Wilmington will have to be settled by the courts; and while the general im pression here is that the law is against them, there are few who will blame the Wadesboro people for fighting for their cash. . : FIFTH STREET METHODIST CHURCH Sr. Haah m a Financier Cancellation of the Mortgage on Fifth Street Met h odut Church Substitution of Ten-Tear Bonds, The Atlantic Methodist gives the fol lowing account of a financial transaction made by Rev. Dr. Nash last week, which will cause general rejoicing among the Methodists and their friends: We bad the good fortune to sell bonds enough last week to pay the debt due the Wilmington Savings and Trust Company. This was by far the largest sum owed by Fifth Street Church to any one party. We had a deposit of $1,675 in the Bank of New Hanover, and by the arrangement are saved every cent of it. We owed the Trust Com pany $14,000, with more than one year's accrued interest at o per cent, ine total amount paid them was $15,375. This sum we have bonded in our four per cent, bonds, payable in ten years. This arrangement practically solves the ques I tion of saving Fifth Street Church. We have about $8,000 of debt unsettled, and we have about $4,000 io sight of this sum. : We need $4,000 more to enable us to put the whole of this debt in man ageable shape. If all who have sub scribed for our bonds will take them, and all who have subscribed as a dona tion to our debt fund will pay up promptly, we shall be able to settle with all of our creditors at an early day. We are thankful for success last week, as it is the most successful week we have had, and it came at a time it was most needed. The debt settled last week has given us more trouble than any other, and by this management we will save $560 a year in the interest, and get ten year's time on a debt that was more than year past due. Tne note was taken up on last Saturday, and the mortgage can celled. There Is no longer any fear that money given to pay this church out of debt will be lost. Confidence in our plans is absolutely established here, and the church will no doubt rally to the work with new life and in the full assur ance of hope. 'I I We have had a long, hard fight, but thank the Lord daylight is breasting. , Off for Bay View. A irty ot gentlemen, mostly stock holders in the Eastern Carolina Pisca torial Association, from up the W. & W. R. R arrived in the city yesterday on the 11.80 a. m. train, and left at 4 p. m on the Wilmington. Newbern and Nor folk R. .R, for Bay View, Onslow county, where they will go into camp for a week or two. The party comprises some of the best and safest men in the State, and judging from the tents, camp chest and j other camp equipage, we should say they are in for a good time, Dr. E. Porter, the President of the Association, was along; being an old soldier, he knows how to provide for his friends in camp. In addition to the fine fishing on New River the party will try their luck out on the black fish rocks. They were joined j here by number of Wilmington friends. Fail Use of IXeaara. Huake A Draper. The assignment of Messrs. Huske & Draper, dry goods dealers on Market street, was recorded yesterday in the office ot the Register of Deeds of New Hanover county.

Opinion About On a "Calanoe Crop Ac- oounts Not So Bad. Aa To Warrant Any , Benoua Apprehension. The New York Journal of Commerce ot the 25th, thus reviews the cotton market: J ' - After a week of constantly varying values it looks very much as though Op erators of all classes had failed to relieve themselves of feelings of perplexity suffi cient to assume, a positively aggressive position. Of course great allowance must be made for the prostrating influence of financial affairs upon all dealings of both a regular and speculative character, but outside of that opinions are on such a close balance regarding the supply of cotton and its ' disposition that move ments would under any circumstances be conducted with 'caution. On the whole, the local disposition has been slightly bullish in its tendency, based upon the assumption that the crop has not made heatlntul progress, and also upon an impression that foreign consumption is promising. - ine latter view has been kept in mind by daily receipt of telegrams through private sources claiming good trade showing at Man chester, with indications ot further im provement and every prospect of a re newed demand for cotton from spinners. A bearish view, however, has not been wanting, and especially of late in opposi tion to the foreign advices just referred to, which are claimed to be almost con tradictory in comparison with the pub lic dispatches, and were given out with so much Ireedom as to create a sus picion regarding their thorough relia bility. Crop accounts, too, nave not been so universally bad as to warrant any serious apprehension, and with the natural desire of holders to make a better market for remainder of the old old crop and get a good starting price ior tne new growth a great many shorts, and especially those who sold a short time ago, when August was 8c or bet ter, are not unwilling to stand at the price, and sell more should rates run up again. t lo-day the deal has not been very extensive, nor have many really new points been brought out. To com mence witn, . tne cable aavices were rather tame and under that influence we had a drop of six points, but the room traders rather oversold themselves, and when an attempt was made to cover the haste to protect the narrow margined en gagements brought a quick advance, and the loss was fully regained, final rates in lact standing a point or so above last evening. So far as could be discovered, there was nothing fresh at hand cal culated to give fresh stimulus to buying. tnougn it is tnougnt tne weekly review of crp conditions does not turn out altogether as promising as calculated upon, and it is also suspected that some quiet missionary work was done for the purpose of sending strong accounts to Liverpool. The spot trading was again of limited proportions, and no revision of the line of quotations took place. j dr. Allison. A Hotorloua Swindler who Operated in Wilmington Some Time Ago. The Savannah ews gives an account of the doings of a notorious swindler who operated in Wilmington a little over a year ago as "Dr. Ellison" and swindled Rev. Dr. Nash and others out of small amounts of money. The News says ot him: "Gen. M6xley,"the notorious swindler of Catholic priests and convent schools, who tried about fourteen months ago to pass worthless checks on St. Vincent's Academy and Father William Mayer and afterward worked the same game with success in Jacksonville only to be captured a day later by the sisters of the St. Augustine Convent,' is out of the Florida penitentiary and back at his old tricks. Gen. Moxley was sentenced to a year's imprisonment and he was liberated June 10. He lost no time in shaking the orange land from his shoes, and was soon marching through Georgia on his way to fields new and pastures green. A few days ago he landed in Macon under the name .of Mcbherry, and on Friday appeared at the St. Stanislaus Colleeeand introduced himself as Mr, McSherry. of Jacksonville, Fla. He claimed to be a representative of the Richmond & Danville system, that he was returning from Chicago and desired to put his son at school there. He was informed that no students were taken there, but was referred to Spring Hill College at Mobile, Ala., as a proper place for the boy. -The would-be Mr. McSherry continued the conversation. He was thoroughly conversant with many topics that he conceived would interest his hearers. and finally presented a check which he desired to have cash advanced on, as he said he was temporarily embarrassed and needed some money. This, however, was refused him as crookedness was sus pected. He then made bis exit and was seen no more. moxley's old style. ! The man s manner of procedure is precisely that adopted by the notorious Moxlev. and from thiKtnescription, Mc Sherry and Moxlejrfreinooubtedly on and the same. Heems during. all his known rascall vSiSteerX to haye confined his operations tdXstittitionsof learning, priests and roiniste4MSt: winter he worked his way to Florida through Virginia, Tennessee, the Carolinas .and Georgia, nearly everywhere meeting with success until caught by the Sisters of St. Joseph at the convent in bt, Aueustine. As yet the embarrassed Mr. McSherry has not been apprehended, but it is very probable that ere long he will again be in the toils. A TayetteviUe Enterprise.

The Julia Force murder case was resumed; this morning at 9 o'clock before Judge Richard Clark. The statement of Miss Force !was intro duced by Solicitor Hill for the prosecu tion. This statement j was rjtten by Miss j una. sue claimed that it em bodied the true statement of her entire life up to the time of the killing" of her two sisters. It was remarkable in that it extended back to six months before she was born. Messrs. George and Allie Force were put upon the stand by the defence and denied the truth of her statements. Miss Sarah Colly testified j Sthat Miss Force told her that the Statement was written on Tuesday before the killing. It is an unusual tbingtosee the family of the murdered persons seated by the murderer or murderess, but such was the case this morning when the! opening ar gument was begun by Solicitor Hill, and counsel lor detence announced that they had closed. The Solicitor made a few re marks outlining the State's case. He was followed by Mr. Burton Smith for the defense. "Mr. Smith made a strong appeal to the iury, and the : effect of it was plainly visible upon ; the: faces of several. Col. Hardeman, of Macon, fol lowed also for the defence.! He is a kins man of Miss Force, and he made an ex ceptionably able argument.

After the dinner recess, 'J udge , Clark charged the jury. During the delivery of his remarks Miss Force sat immov able before the jury, with hei face buried in her 'hands. In' his - charge Judge Clark referred to the enormity of the crime, and said the jury should consider the prior life of the prisoner, jj He said the crime was probably without parallel, unless it be in the Borden murder case. If that crime was committed by Lizzie Borden, the Force murder was even more horrible than that. As the Judge was charging the jury the prisoner broke down, sobbibg convulsively. 1 The jury remained out Only a few minutes and at 3 o'clock brought in a verdict of not guilty. ;It will be remem bered that Miss Force was tried shortly after the murder occurred oh! ail writ of lunacy and was promptly judged insane. Solicitor General Hill held that the pro ceeding was irregular, as the case should ihave gone i first before the.
