Both parties are prominent socially, and their union will be attended by universal interest. Goldsboro Argus: It will be painful news to his many admiring friends in this city to learn of the death of Mr. John Harper, of Bentonsville, . whose services to wounded, confederate soldiers in the late war has caused his name to be in scribed, together with that of his wife's, on the modest shaft that has been reared at Bentonsville by the Goldsboro Rifles to commemorate the heroic deeds of those who fell on that battle ground. Mr. Harper had reached the mature age of 95 years and has left a long record of good deeds done worthy of imitation. . The New York Journal of Commerce pays: "It is announced by First Vice President A; B. Andrews that the man agement of the Southern railway has de cided upon a simple plan for relieving the pressure of traffic on the line between Greensboro and Charlotte, N. C, without going to the expense of constructing a second track. The Southern jiow owns North Carolina railroad between Winstoh- aaiem ana jviacKsville, ana will extend the roaa some twenty miles to Mooresville, w Kerf pnnnpptinn will mAa -i t t.,.

Washington Post: Now that it is ex pected that the United States government will have an abundance of money, after the new era of prosperty sets in, some of the southern senators are of the opinion that it ought to give $1,000 to carry into effect two resolutions passed by the con tinental congress for the erection of mon-' uments to the memory of Geenral Francis Nash and William Lee Davidson, of North Carolina, both of whom fell in the war of the. revolution, - fighting gallantly in de fense of the liberty and independence of tfcis nation. The resolution providing a monument for General Nash was adopted November 4, 1777. and that for General Davidson, September 20, 1781. No monu ments were ever erected, however. Kinston Free Press: Oliver Peace, a young colored man; a tobacco curer from Granville county, was drowned in Neuse river, above Joe --imams landing, about two miles above ivinston, Friday after noon, about 5 a clock. He, with others. were driving fish in nets set across the river, when he stepped in a hole over his head. Another negro went to his rescue, when he grabbed him around the neck and came very near drowning him.- The boly was found Sunday about a quarter oi a miie oeiow wnere ne was arownea. -A horrible crime was perpetrated in Greene county last Saturday night. Joe Black, a negro from Cumberland county, broke into the house of Mrs. Fedora Car raway, a very old lady near Snow Hill, and assaulted Miss Stepp, a maiden lady aged about 45 years. Miss Stepp fought desperately, but was overpowered and choked into insensibility by the : brute. The infernal scoundrel was tracked and captured Sunday morning. There was great excitement, and the people would surely have lynched him if he had not been taken Sunday night to another county for safe keeping. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. Food for the Colored People Mf. W. F. Schults, a Connecticut man, who is instructor in agriculture at the IJampton school, is about to gather some curious statistics. He is going to "study and report on the food sup ply of the colored people" in South hampton county, Va. The Southern Workman and Hampton School Record gives this description of his plans: He expects to drive from house to house in some selected rural group, making careful observations on the amount and kind of food received In each house, weighing and measuring the waste and refuse, and determining exactly what quantity of food and of what kinds is actually consumed by each family, and, the average amount consumed by each individual. This ,tudy will also include a study of the water supply and the beverages consumed. Mr. Schults hopes also to be able to gather information " about the condition, social, religious, finan cial, and moral, of those with whom this investigation brings him in con tact, which will be of service in the comprehension of the problem with which the school is dealing." There is a certain delicacy about the inquiries wnicn Mr. scnuits nas to make, and there may be a considerable margin of inaccuracy m the answers which he will get. A statistician, how ever earnest and able, who should drive abuot among the rural homes or white men In New York or Massachusetts, and ask the folks about their meat and their morals, would be gibed, and might occasionally be asked to fight. Statistics is a holy science, but it is a little annoying sometimes. New York Sun. - . fctavannah, Ga., April 26. 1896. TTo-elTic lisd three bottles of P. P.

The Mew York Stock Market, New York, June 25. Many thousands of shares of stocks were bought on the stock exchange today at prices materially above last night's closing price, the ad vance extending to a point or over in many prominent stocks. But the market sold off later in the day on account of apprehension caused by the large volume of the gold shipments by tomorrow s steamer $2,300,000 in all being engaged for export. Additional uneasiness was caused by the fact that the whole amount was taken from the. United States sub-treasury or from the assay office, in bars, and no part from the banks or from private sources, as has been the case with most of the recent shipments. The decline in the price of stocks which resulted was very marked, offerings to realize being very freely made for a time and the heaviness extended all through the list. The declirz, however, brought dullness and a diminution of offerings, indicating the undertone of strength in the market. The week gold shipments now amount to $4,800,000, whicn is a larger amount than has gone out in any one week since the first week of the present movement, that ending May Sth when the exports were $9,000,000. The subsidence of appre hension on account of gold exports in the stock market has been mostly due to the stability shewn by the gold reserve in the United States treasury for several weeks past about $144,000,000 in the face of continued exports of gold by exchange houses. The amount of gold in the treasury at the close of business yester day was $142,783,486, which is considerably less than at any time since the present gold movement began. Of course, today's additional withdiawals of $2,300,000 do not appear lr the above statement of gold in the treasury. The sterling exchange market was easier under offerings of bills against the gold shipments, sixty day bills receding 14 to $4.86. But it is expected that there will be sufficient demand to stiffen ex change rates next week with further gold shipments as a consequence. The supply of exchange in tne market is, in tact. very meagre, and any extra demand has to be met by gold shipments. The volume of dealings today was larerer than on any previous day of the year, the total sales of all stocks reach ing: 318.000 shares, but nearly two-tniras of that amount was absorbed by Sugar, the Grangers, Chicago Gas and Bay State Gas. Sugar and the grangers lea tne ad vance but the list generally reacted to below last night's close showing net losses on the day. Sugar, however, rallied partialy and closed with a net gain of 1. Rock Island is the only one of the granger group to show a net gain which amounts to . Manhattan and New ' York Central a small fraction. Northern facinc was weak on rumors of a halt in the arrange ment for putting into executive control those in harmony with Great Northern interests. Union Pacific reacted on the action ot the United Staes senate commit tee in favor of supending proceedings to sell the United States Interests to a syn- dicatee. The toal sale of stocks today were 318,- 172 shares, including American Tobacco 8.200. American Sugar 5&.500, Burlington and Quincy 35,700, Chicago Gas 18,000, Man. hattan Consolidated 8.600, Missouri Pacific 5,00. Northwestern 3.000, Northern Pacific preferred, 5,500, Omaha 7,400, Reading 7,700, Rock Island 22.000, St. Paul 37.100, Western Union 12,300. The bond market displayed considerable animation today, the trans actions exceeding $2,000,000. The buoyancy was apparent in a variety of Issues with some sensational advances noted in the usually Inactive mortgages, particularly Missouri Pacific collateral 5'sJ which rose 11 per cent to 18. The low priced bonds generally displayed aggressiye strength with purchases of the gilt-edged liens by investment interest tending to accentuate the upward movement which has been In evidence for a long time. Governments were slightly higher on transactions, a block of 100,000 of the 5's coupon changing hands at 114. Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, June 25. The only relief to intense dullness in the cotton market to day was furnished by liquidation of the summer months, especially July. Liver pool declined l-64d this morning and our market opened slightly lower. July deliv ery notices - circulated ""quite freely. Al though they were taken up by one or two houses they added considerably to the weak feeling In the near months. Sellers of the next crop were scarce. Those months were steady all day and closed unchanged from last night. A large loss in interior stocks failed to stimulate the market. August opened at 7.26, declined to 7.22, advanced to 7.25, again gave way and closed at 7.22 to 7.23, with the tone of the market quiet. Until there is some new developments in favor of higher prices we fear that there will be no last ing advance. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York. June 25. The cotton market opened quiet and steady at a decline of 1 to 3 points. The opening prices were the highest -of the day for June, July and Au gust. The new crop positions advanced 2 to 3 points after the first call. The general market commenced to weaken under a disposition to "stand from under," as to July, notices.

Improvement in Business Continues An Immense Wheat Crop Better Demand for Pig Iron Ipcrrase In Demand for Textile Goods. New York, June 25. R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say There is no stej) backward in busi ness, although the season of mid-sum mer is quiet a near. Improvement con tinues, gradually and prudently cau tious as before. ' although in many branches evident, where no signs of it appeared a few weeks ago. Business men of the highest standing In all parts of the country, having gradually per ceived that thevtide has begun to rise, are regulating their contracts and in vestments and their . plans for the fu ture with a confidence quite unknown to them a short time ago. Great chan ges before the adjournment of congress are hardly to be expected, but removal of uncertainty is with reason expected to bring into operation buying forces which have been restricted for months. The main factor at this time 1s the steadily brightening propect for crops. Harvesting of wheat has already be gun in some winter wheat states with surprisingly good results In tne central region and California, so that 30,000 tons is now called the minimum from the latter state and statisticians of re pute calculate on 60,000,000 bushels' of winter wheat beyond the government estimate. Spring wheat is doing re markably well with a practical increase of acreage. The price has advanced 1 cents during the week, with a decrease of 1,200,000 bushels in western receipts, and Atlantic exports of only 1,445,947 bushels, flour included, against 1,713,961 last year, but it is just the season when figures have no value except as proving how erroneous were estimates of the crop of 1896. Cotton was lifted c without reason and has fallen back as much, because everything points to a larger crop than has been commonly expected. Iron apd steel products averase a small fraction lower in published quo tations, but only because private con cessions which are now refused were by various authorities complacentlyf concealed two weeks ago. Pig iron is firmer with a better demand at the east and at Chicago,, but the impatience of valley furnaces to resume work keeps Bessemer and Grey Forge at last week's quotations at Pittsburgh Tlite best of the news is in material in iron orders in plates, in part for shipbuild ing, in bars for agricultural implement works, in structural shapes for build-i ings and bridges and In galvanized sheets. One heavy . contract for 300 miles of 30-inch and 100 miles of 10- j-inch pipe.sought by the Australian gov ernment for gold regions, excites many hopes in the trade. The great ore producing companies are cutting prices of Mesabi Bessemer Fayal to $2.10, apparently in order to score the biggest possible business of the year as a basis for future combi nation. Tin has slowly advanced to 14 cents, in spite of heavy arrivals. One thousand two hundred tons of iead' haye been sold, moderate quanti ties now bringing 3.42 cents, and pur chases advance lake copper to lc. There is encouraging increase in the demand for all textile goods, even for cottons, which have so long been slow, and it is but moderate. There Is noth ing of a speculative character in the transactions, and prices are firmly held. Re-orders for woolens have been rath er better than were expected from (clothiers" and fairly good for dregs goods. Operations in spring goods are still deferred. While mills are some what better employed, and are buying to some extent, most of the purchases of wool are for speculation, nearly three-quarters being at Boston alone and the aggregate was 8,733,800 pounds at the three chief markets, 5,610,300 of it foreign wool. Domestic wool is still held at relatively high prices at the west. Failures for the week have been 216 in the United States, asainst 217 last year ana 24 in Canada, against 24 last year.

Another Fool's Errand We, see that "Lieutenant" Peary who is really a civil engineer connected with the navy is about to set out upon his third march to the north pole. It would be a waste of time, we suppose, to in dulge in any further protests against this useless and unbecoming indulgence of a government official, so we refrain. Mr. Peary may take his five year's leave and his cargo of favoritism and go forth upon his hopeless quest, with our best wishes for a safe return. In his case and for more light and wiser methods in the case of the department for the future. We recall quite clearly the confident prognostications which attended the first and second Peary expeditions. We re call also, and with equal distinctness, the utter failure of both so far as con cerned results of any practical conse quence or moment. And now we shall venture to indulge in a modest forecast on our own account. We predict that Peary will discover nothing of value to science or humanity. He may bring back some specimens which he can use to ad vantage in his lecture tours. He may likewise bring back the members of his party if he is lucky and if the relief and rescue expeliticn starts In time. But he will add nothing to the sum of human knowledge. He will 'unearth no material that can be turned to tho tlightest use. In a word, he will return from this expe ditionif he returns at all just as he did from the others loaded to the gunwales with apology and explanation and guments in favor of another fool's er guments in favor of another l fool's er rand to the pole.

Con cord Standard. There is perhaps no more potent fac tor in the industrial enterprise of the day than well managed and reliable newspapers. The great army of bene factors to mankind, like ail other ar mies, need to kno7r at variouj points just what is going on at other points; and there is no other medium so ready and so available for this work as the newspaper. It is a sort of operator in "secret service" calling from one hill top to the other,, informing the enter prising people of one . section what those on another are doing. Many peo ple seem to think that the work of newspapers is simply to tell of mur- ders.i riots, storms, floods, disasters and bad things generally, and they rate them according to the amount of such news their columns carry. This is a mistake. A newspaper must necessar ily tell many such things that wouiJ just as well be lef; untold, but it ought to tell more good thii.gs than bad if possible. Scotland Neck Democrat.

In the same section It is provid ed that "all orders by committees for money, and all contracts made by them i In writing, shall be signed in the legi ble hand-writing of the committeemen purporting to sign such orders or con tracts, or in case any committeeman cannot write his name, his signature by making his mark shall be witnessed by at least one disinterested witness in his own proper hand-writing." To the average citizen it would appear that the "intelligent men of good busintss qualifications." whom it is provided shall be appointed committeemen, should at least be able to write their names, and that the provision for their making the sign of the cross was . un necessary.

Explorer Nansen (Assailed Fritjof Nansen, the famous traveler, has now found out the truth of the old adage that a prophet counts for naught in his own country. His former pol itical friends have raised a hue against him and openly brand him as a traitor. Ever since his boyhood he was a mem ber of the so-called young Norwegian party, the political programme of which numbers among one of the fun damental planks , in its platform the entire dissolution of the ties between the kingdoms of Norway and Sweden. His- marriage to Miss Eva Svars, the daughter of the well known professor and. "Swede-hater," L. Svars, was con sidered by his political friends, but an other proof that Nansen could be trust ed as inimical to Sweden. Now that Nansen has lectured in Stockholm, on which occasion the king and the crown prince, with all the Swedish ministry, were present, and offered the assemb lage "the brotherly greetings of the Norwegian people," he has been de clared under the ban by his former friends. The remark quoted above and the desire of Nansen to hear the Swed ish national anthem were considered sufficient by the Norwegian Separatist press to attack Nansen fiercely from all sides. One of these papers goes so far as to brand him a traitor to the national cause, and concludes its ven omous ,ar tide with the sentence: "Why don't ybu return to the North Pole, Mr. Doctor?
