After the first surprise was over there was evidence on all sides that the local & nancial situation was in a- healthy condition. ; : Loading , bankers and brokers were ready to lend helping hands to prevent any temporary un settlement of the market from going too far, but this was unnecessary. There were reports on the streets that there would be a joint meeting of bankers and brokers for this purpose but It was not held. 'Inquiry among the heads of banking institutions deve loped the fact that the general feeling was that the " local situation did not need any - help, and that as soon as people began to view con dltlons clearly it would show an im provement. This view was ' so widely held that the suggestion of a meeting to take action to protect holders of securities was dropped. - President Williams of the Seaboard Air Line and Middendorf & Co. have received .during the day many tele grams of sympathy and offers of aid.

Sigr Sautelle Shows. Sig Sautelle's big 12 combined rail' road shows will give afternoon and evening performances in Kinston Fri day, October 9. The number of all star artists engaged by Mr. Sautelle this season doubles that of last year and the program which they now offer is one of par excellence and admirably suited to the tastes of Old and young alike. There is not an act In the entire shows which can tend to bring the faintest semblance of a blush to the cheek of the most fastidious. The Sautelle Show has always been the acme of chasteness. , The shows have been enormously augmented In every department this year. In the $100,000 menagerie are typical . specimens of every specie of animal life. A tour of this peerless department is of vastly more educational value than a trip through many of America's best known zoological gardens. This will be the second year Mr. Sautelle has traveled by rail and a special train of 26 cars is now required to transport bis mam moth tented amusement institution, while he employs a well organized army of over 300 workers and hun dreds of horses, proles and donkeys.
