SECRETARY CARLISLE ORDERS I he Mints Closed to Silver, Except for Coinage of Subsidiary Coins. Ad fcilver coinage, except that ot subsidia ry eo:n?, Waa or dered suspend" led beginning November 1 n--Tt by S.cretary Carlisle. In Parryiufjout thii policy the ;;3tv Orlean mint will ba practically close-i and dismau tlod arter that date, ani its seveay employ ees furlough! wiiliout pay. A letter con taining thesa iostru-tlons aa to discontinuing J coinage operations va mailed to Supenn- tsudent Overton Cabe cn :ionday night. The practical effect of the action taken ty Hr. Carlisle to convert all silver bullion held by the Government into geld obligations un- ' der the parity clause of the Eherman A.et. Secretary Windom in October. 1821, con- ; strued the law to mean that all Shermaa -no.es issued apaiast bullion were rcdeema- i Worn gold. Thi construction cf the law i na3 been cononrre.i in v. v,i c Secretaries Fester and Carlisle, aud ha? been u. mu.;iu operation during the past six vears. Luder it. P7S iaa aoo ueemed. The coinage of siivr-r hnitinn w.t , standard silver dollars operates to prevent i Sherman notes being i.-:sucd upon them. ! Silver certifit-ates however, tire issued : against standard silver doilar3 and are re- i deamahle only in silver. Thus from the sarno ba?e, the silver bullion, the Sherman i notc-3 became gold obligations and eilver I coined into stndard silver dollars and silver certificates ifisued upon them became silver " obligations. The ens pension of the coinage I of standard silver dollirs, therefore, leaves ! bullion silver free from any farther liability ! of conversion into silver obligations. ; The closing up of the New Orleans mint leaves only the Luited States mints at Phila phia and San Francisco in operation. At these mints only gold and subsidiary Ellver will hereafter be coined, unless Congress should direct to the contrary, and Its action should bo approved by the President. Of ! the employes in the New Orleans mint thirty are women and forty men. ! Secretary Carlisle" for some time past has ' been considering the advisability of (-topping ' all fcilver coinage except that of subsidiarv coin?, and iiuee he has been the head cl the treasury department only 4,:JS2,321 standard ti'.ver dollars have been minted, since Julyl latonly 00 standard silver dollars have been coined. The coinage of standard silver dol lars during tu pat fw warn has been as follows 1S05, 3 950.011; 1S91, 1 758; 1893, S5,yi3,O00; 1--591, f!,32',000; 18'Jl, $27,000,000. Tlio total ooinatce of sdver under all Acts amounts to C-1'23, 1S9,30D. The treasury now hoidTj cf 6-ilver i"iUion purchased under the Sherniau Act 137,614,000 line ounces, the cost of v.-hi h wa, i ?JI.0o0,323: the coiuim; value of this Imllic-ii ia sii'. r.r dollars is 5177,984, 00J. If thi3 bullion were coined into silver dollars the profit to the Government on it3 coinage would be nearly $51,000,000, which sum could be paid out for the ordinary ex penses of the government or against which silver certifi-'ates could be issued. Under the Act of 1373 the treasury holds i f bullion purchased Ctj5,459 in value.

'Ihe cprrtiir.:- sermon was preached y Rev. V. C Arrowocu, of Lauriu-i-urtr, who moderated the last meeting. There are in th- synod on? hundred aU'.l forty-niijo ininUters and lieea tiates, feevc-rity-three candidatf-s for the rninihtry, three hundred anil thirty-tix ehnrchfF, iiior than twelve hundred ruling ciders, and one thousand dea-coi-hi, and over thirty thousand adult members. The 1-jfit reports fhow that in one tar there were added to the rolls of itrj chnxches mure than twenty-nine Imudrtd, and that the contributions fur benevolent causes amounted to more than two hundred thousand dol 1 ai &. This includes pastors' salaries. Besides the Presbyterians under the juri.idicti jn of this body, there are p;u'haps live thousand, mcstly negroes, l)t-longii!;r to the Northern Presbyter ian Church. The synod and its component pres byteries have been pushing home missions with great earnestness and success for several years without allow in;; the interest in other benevolent cm uses beyond its bounds to abate. Lighteen thousand dollars is about the avenge anuual contribution to foreign mifrfeious. . The synod by an overwhelming ma joiity gave its approval to taking the Union Theological Seminary to Rich ihund. The statistical rc-poit was presented U'd showed the following facte: Four ministers died during the last year; u hole number of Presbyterian minis ters in the State, one hundred and tor-tv-tour; number of churches 539; can litotes for the ministry 77; commu nicants in the State 30,292; contribu tions for all causes 3215,206; members added to the church during the last year 2,901; churches organized 7; evangelists in the State 15; missiona ries in foreign fields 6; number cf counties with no Presbyterian church in them 20. Memorial sketches of the four min isters who died were read, viz: Rev. A. L. Crawford. Rev. T. N. Faucette, He v. Robert Bur well, D. D., and Rev. J. P. McPherson. Newbern was chosen 83 the place for the next meeting of the Synod, and November 10, 1896, as the time. The Drought Not So Bad After All. Superintendent Leazar of the peni tentiary said that so far he considered the drought had done no damage at the State farms; that it caused cotton to mature which otherwise would have amounted to nothing; that farm work, rave ploughing, had gone on uninter ruptedly for week after weeh; that never before was so great a proportion of tho crops saved in perfect condition; that there was no dew and that work could begin at sunrise in the cotton field; that in hi3 opinion while the drought in preventing ploughing is beginning to work injury in the wes tern part of the State, it has not as yet done damage in the east.

THE MORMONS TOO TIMID. ; The State Solicitor Fails to See That They Have Hecu Threatened. ' Judge Cable, of the Superior Court, referred to Solicitor Fori the letter 1 sei.t to the four Mormon elders ia Wake conntv, nctifviag them to leave, i and which thev referred to Governor t ' Carr. " , Solicitor Poll pays that unless the ! . Mormons can shw conspiracy to force j I them to leave, he cannot eee how the 1 j signers of the letter can be prosecuted. , As long as the tldars obey the law thev are entitled to preach, but any ; i number of citizens may protest against I ' euch preaching and may go so far as : ; to jequett the men to leave the com- : munity, and yet not violate the laws. : He has read tho paper presented to the Governor, and fails to perceive any : threat. He fee's that so far as the the State is ooneerned there is nothing I to be dene. i If any conspiracy is formed, or any j injury done the Mormons, he promises i them they shall have the same protec ! tion as any citizen. Tho solicitor sug j gests that the Mormons are unduly ! sensitive, and that St. Paul would hare j hardly taken fright at so slight provo- cation. . I THE GRAVEYARD INSURANCE. j Five True Bills to Dare. Four Ac quitted In One Case. ! The fall term of the Beaufort Su ! perior Court now in session, is being largely attended cn account of tho in j terest manifested in the insurance I fraud cases. The grand jury have j found five true bills of forgery and i conspiracy on a large number of pre j sentmeiits und are continuing their i work daily. It will be impossible to try but a very small part of them, be ing only a oue-wcek term. Tha first I case tried was ended Thursday, being I a case of forgery, Dr. T. B. Delamar, ' J. C.

The October bulletin of the Agri- : cultural Department just issued says: TLat when the question csrd was tent out it was supposed the drought then j prevailing was the only element ot danger to be apprehended. Euquiry ! was made in ret-pect to this, but the ; very early past could not bo foreseen, ! from which greater loss resulted in j some sections than from the drought. I Previous reports indicated an abun- j dance of vegetables and breadstuff's. ! It was desired to ascertain what was! the outlook for the meat supply and j what progress farmers were making i towards improving the quality and 1 condition of their meat-produoing ' stock. Commissioner Patterson is so i deeply impressed with the ceces-itv t j of North Cavoliaa farmers raising j their own bread and meat and is so thoroughly convinced that it is the es i eeutial policy on which their perma i mat prosperity must be based, that j the answers to the question are parSo ! ularly gratifying. A decided majority of the answers received show increase of number and j improvement of both hogs and cattle, and 95 per cent, say that there is a i decided tendency of the farmers to j raise more of their own meat supplies j p.nd to improve the grade of both cat j tie and hogs. A large proportion as . Mga the stock law as the cause of this i improvement in cattle and hogs. An i swers t questions of injury by drought J to certain crops and information of damage by the subsequent frosts, civ- i en by many correspondents, relate to en iy many coi respondents, relate to portions of the State only where the crcps were uot fully matured. It is difiicult, therefore to cah-ulate the ef fect on the condition of each crop for the State at large, but from the best information it is believed th it cotton is more than C5 per cent, of an aver age crop at'd it may fall lower. Corn must recede a few points from its Sep tember condition; the iucrtased acre ace of course remaining the same as in September report. The late Irish po tato crop suil'cred badly and reports indicate but little over half a crop. Tobacco in the eastern counties was nearly all housed, but in the middle j and western counties tho frost did much damage; bow much it is impossi- bie now to estimate. 'J he mean Novmber temperature is 50 degrees. The wurmcst November was that of 1890 51 degrees; the cold est that of 18S7 17 degrees. The highest recorded temperature for the month was SO degrees; the lowest 17. The average date on whi- h the first killing fro.t occurs hereisOet. 26. From this it will be seen how phenomenally early were tho severe frosts thi3 autumn. November is not rainy month, fcr in oao year only Eix-hun-dreths of an inch fell during its 30 days. Confederate Veteraus. The North Carolina Confederate Veterans' Association at their meeting in Raleigh last week elected Peter E. Hiues, president; Graham Daves, vice president; C. B.

Walter Clark was request ed to continue the work of procuring histories of regiments. FIRE IN A FAV0US COLLEGE, Partial Daitraet'on of tha rnlreraUr of Tirglnla.
