Whore the instrument is ambiguous th negotiable instrument laws lay ti-.wn the foUowin rules of construction, which are but the expression of ,n rules of law followed by the courts be fore their passage. 1. Where tic um pnyabk is" express ed in words and figures anil there is a discrepancy between the two, the sum ler.oted by the words i- the sum paya ble; but it the wordf are ambiguous or v.ncvrta'n, reference may be had to the ligurc to fix the amount. L Where the instrument provides fr the payment of interest, without specify- iui; the ;ute irom wnirn u i- ii it will be considered to be dated at the time it was issued. i. Where there is a conflict between the written and printed provisions f the instrument, the written provisions! prevail. T. Where the instrument Is so am biguous that there is a doubl whether It is a bill or a note, the 'holder may treat if as cither at his election. 6. Where a signature is so placed up on the instrument that it Is not clear n what capacity the one making the name intended to sign, he is to be deemed an hidorser. 7. Where an instrument contains me wordi. I pr)uiise to pay," Is ignea i.y . -"--- . two or more persons, tney are ueeuuu jointly and severely liable tneroou This makes it as if the wonts were we promise to pay." From the very nature of TiecoUaMe instmtnenis. it nu sen that no person whose name d es n-r appear thereon will le liable. The full name is not essential, and a signature bv initials has been held sufficient. A maker or endorser may W bound by the signature of an assumed or fictitious name ; by a corporate, official tr part-.'r-hsp name, or even by the name of a factory of a steam boat, the owners bra ins held as markers, or where the per son cannot write, by his mark.

The mark or designation the pirtr mar choose to adopt will bind j nim. i uea as a snsu;iur ioi i .! name with the intention to be bound by it. (Note Crawford, supra, see. ."7. Note b. citing levitt vs. Walton, 0 N. Y.. 571: Itrown vs. Bank. f. Hill. d4.?. I Jut such signatures are not looked f-ivor-nble upon, nnd the sienatures should le such as the individual should use, his own name and that which it is his cus tom to employ. Hut the negotiable instrument law says, that "one. who signs i.i trade or assumed name will be l-nble to the same extent as if he had s:zT.l in his own name. There is r .thine peculiar in the law of nez liable instruments that prevents them being signed b-. an agent, for his principal, provided he docs so by expnf authority, or imnned by the usal scve of asrencies of like cnaracter to that he fcas from the principal. His authotity is to lo established, when questioned, as in other cases of agesc. The liabi Ity of such agents is also governed by th? rules theretofore laid down. If he ex ceed his expressed or implied authority: or if in any particular instance he knew he was exceeding it, he will b' held per Mxiallv liable to his principal, or to thoso with whom be WN. As to the liability of the principal to those with whom his asent thus assumes to deal without au thority, he woui l not bo bound to them if they knew, or reasonably may have known, that the agent was exceeding his authority. It:tt rnrfcr. the general rule, tho aeent wss not liible upon the instru-j ner.t ltpe!f but upon an imp 'd war ranty that he had the required authority to make it. Tb wording of the uniform- itr laws on thi subject nre as follows; Tlie mere addition of words describing him a an airenL. or as filling a represen tative character, without disclosing his principal does rot exempt him from per sonal liability. This, snys Mr. Craw ford, does away with general rule of law and "the efiect of the seitic-n is to permit the hold Mr to sue the agent on the Instrument, if he was not duly author ized to stim the same on l-half of the principal. (Note sec. 3X The negotia ble instrument laws further provide: "Where the instrument contains, or a person adds to his signature, words that he signs for or on behalf of a principal, or ia a representative capacity, he is no liable on the instrument if he was duly authorized." The manner in whi.-h an agent may bind hU principal, and the form necessary to bo used. ha also been heretofore particularized,, and many il lustrations given. The mere sljrnlug of an instrument, by a person as president, superintendent, etc., of a corporation, does not bind th" corporation, unless the intent to bind ',i U to he gathered from the ho ly or tne instrument. T'tiJcss the language creates, or fairly implies, the undertaking of the corporation, or if the purpose is equiv ocal, the obligation is tnat of its appa rent makers. (Note Bank vs. Clark. l.'ID N. Y- 307: Bank vs. Walli.-. 150 N. Y.. -J4.1; cited by Crawford, supra, see. P:U An agent may sign for hi principal in stich'a manner as to she notice of his limited authority, to all subsequent hold ers, without impalnng the negotiability of the instrument: but the words ued must clearly Indicate that the limited antborlty exists. The words usually employed for such purposes art "per procuration, and the negotiable instru ment laws declare thJt "the principal is bound only in case the agent, in o signing, acted within the limits of his authority." Signatures of this class are Seldom seen, and especially In this coun try, and it is doubtful if prudent busi ness men wouid entertain accepting them, except in a case existing in which there is likelihood of loss, as, for in stance, takin; them for a very djubtful debt. ' In case a signature Is forged, or made without either the expressed or implied authority of the one whose signature it purports to be, no right can be acquired through or under it, either to retain it. or to give discharge therefor, or enforce payment thereof, as azainst the one whose name Is forged, unless, in some way, he is estopped from setting up the forgery or want of authority. The general meaning of the word "forged". is generally well known, and we will not go into any nice distinctionstipon it. There can be no ratification of a forged instrument, for that would, make a crime the subject of the contract. " . . The law, howeTer, will prevent, or estop a man, in etmc instances, from , denying that his nfnature is .genuine, when, by bis acts In regard thereto, he t Las mUled others lo their loss. For example, where he accepts a note, nnd , has paid similar acceptances under the same conditions: or-where he makes a note and therein forges the payee's sig i fcMure, ta4 Kculata the note; or where the interesr runs from tne tiaie 01 me. naim-s anvar iuittoh aii-mximu irvrument. and if the instrument is im-j fneie to have bome parties for value, dated from the issue thereof. When; We have also Feen that any considera tion? is nothing stated about interest, ! tlon, however slight, will support a con the law implies the legal rate. . j tract, and that the law will not look into - k .III - 1 ill ll-ftjuuft. v by nOBEKT C.

(Note Man; ufacturers Nat. Bank vs. Morgan. 11 1 U. S. t)5.) ' We Jiavo seen that negotiable instru ments are deemed prima facie to be giv en r.r rnliiM .in.! all nerSons whose a noie given lor a pru-f.xisi.ijii; uu, . le for a valuable consideration. However, in New York and eome qther States, the contrary was held. i.. e. that a note given for a pre-existing debt) was not for value and, thqn a distinc between a iiogotiaVU tion and non-negotiable instrument, holding that, while in the laiter suen consmera tion would not be for value, it. won id he in the former, when in the hands of a l.ona tide, hobb-r taking the negotiable instrument in payment of, or as security for a pre-existing debt, and that he was a holder therof, for value, and not sub ieet to eouities between the prior par- iv - - - . . - -v- t,ts. (.te KnKroaa company s. .:i- rt:onai naiiK, -t . 141,7 l ecotlUMe iiisiriimeni me - sua go is clear on this point, rending. an antecedent er pre-existing debt consti tutes value: and is deemed such whether the instrument is payable on demand or at a future time." A holder for value is .one who hclds jl 1 - - r. A li l-the instrument for a valuable eonsidera- tion.;.ind to whom the paper must be de livered." A mere promise to deliver it at some future time will not be sufficient. (Note Kuejl vs. Scudler, 42 Barb., N. Y.. 31.). An instrument is negotiated when it is transferred rrom one person to another in such manner as to consti tute tie transferer the holder thereof. Such transfer may be made by giving the possession of the negotiable instru- ment is transferred lor vaiue wumun indorsement, the transferee has the ri?ht o all the title therein that the one may have had who made the transfer, and the further right to have him indorse the instrument: but the negotiation is con sidered io be of the time that the in dorsement was actually made. We can readily see the vast amount of difference this may make, for between the time of the transfer, and the time of actual in dorsement, the transferee is subject to all the equities, that may have existed against the instrument, whether he kriew of them, or should, hqve "known of them, or not. (Note Jenkinsoh vs. Wilkinson, 110 N. (U "-'-.) The effect-would be, that, without th? Indorsement, the. trans feree would not be a holder in due course, ami he could not claim that he hail no notice of the in'irnuty of the instrument or defect in the tilte of the person nego tiatirg it. if any contef.li.u should arise beft. ui has the Instrument prop erly indorsed. Thus, when the holder is not one "in due course" ami wishes to enforce collection, it may be set up in defence, that either no consideration had been given for the instrument, or that there had been a partial failure of the consideration, whether such failure is an ascertained and liquidated .amount, or otherwise. (Note Randolph, supra, sec. .rel2: Daniel NcAr. It:st. see. 10.) There are instances in which a failure of consideration can be no defence, .is v.-Iien a person makes, drawer, accepts or 5 r. dorses n negotiable i'tsm:rier.t without value therefor, his pirpoce being to give his credit to .mother per.-on. In such cases- his liability exists notvithstand itStha the or.o'takihg the instrument knew ..t tlio 'time of the nature of the tr.Mi.-aetion. Such person is known as an accommodation pnrty. ,. Corporations, as a general rule, have no power to become accommodation jiar ties, and hence, when such power does not exist, it will le a defence. The reason is. that in this respect the cor porate existence is wanting, and not that a person having full powers as such, may not lend his credit in the manner prescribed. The endorsement upon a negotiable instrument is not in regard to any par ticular place thereon, so that the intent appears, and so that it appears "upon the instrument itself, or upon a paper attached thereto." According to the ne gotiable instruments laws, an indorse ment made by an infant, or by a corpor ation without the power of indorsement, has the efiect of parsing the title of the paper, but imposing no liability upon such indorser to its payment. With this rtatutory exception, an-indorsement , of a negotiable instrument is "w.riting one's name thereon,-with intent to incur liability of a party who warrant- pay ment of the instrument, pi-ivided it is only presented to the prin ipnl at ma turity, not naid by him, and such failure is duly notified to the endorser." (Note 1 Daniel Neg. Inst., r')3.) If an attempt is made to endorse only a part of n nego tiable instrument it will deprive It of its negotiable character, except that if any part thereof may have been paid, the .alanc( may pass by indorsement and delivery without having that effect. This drcs not extend to cases In Aiich the holder has a lieu upon, the le cotiable instrument by contract, or legal impii crt on, as when morey is loaned nnd the instrument is pledged for its payment as cell tcral security ; for "therein the holder would bo one for value to the extent of his lien, and in default of payment, could sell and transfer the'seenritics without depriving them of their negotiable char acter. The safe method would be, to have the one hypothecating them to in dorse them in blank, and specify in the note thereby sectrred, the manner in which they are to be held, and when and how disposed of. If the indorsement should not be thus made, in the event of defanlt nnd sale of the securities, the one who had loaned the money, or the pur chaser, would have the "right to compel the indorsement, but. as we have seen, would incur the liability of equities that might exist. - until the indorsement be actually made. The Debt Which the Women of Onr , . State Owe Have -the -Wonien of North Carolina forgotten the'debt which they owe to Hdii.-F. M., Simmons? When.that monstrous-political conspiracy against the decency of our homes, the-Integrity of our social condition and the future suc cess and happiness of our children was rent asunder, whoso hand dealt the blow? Had we been able to find anv other leader bnt.F. Simmons to con found and overthrow our enemies? It is true we women trere not mriitnr. with politics, but .we were none tie. les.i At .. n -v AAnioH rSrinm students of our awful situation. : Iis- reyurauio ana reckless white men had com bined with the great negro rote; and together they had plucked down - the honor of the mate and made her the prey of spoilsmen and agitation. We bad iosi even our rignis pn the streets of the city where we were born. The places of oflicial trust,, which had been filled And adorned by our gifted ancestors, were being seized by besotted plunderers on every hand. And the only wav to break these bands which were destroy ing us was to capture the voting power of the State. 'Who thought for a mo ment it could be done? It required cour age, boundless strategy, sleepless reso lution and tireless vigilance. What man lived in North Carolina equal , to such a struggle? We had good and brave leaders doing great work in sinsle lo calities. Hut who could face the. "ii scrupulous nnd dangerous spoilers who had North Carolina already subjugated and overthrown? We trembling woinen of the -east did not know such a man; and it was then, while our hearts quaked with terror, that Ifroviden.ee raised up the Hon. F. M. Simmons for our deliverance. He boldly met the ene my and defeated him, Oan any one tell what that means to the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of our land? Shall the" men of our State, who no greatly honor their women, hesitate to reward this successful leader? A brain that could plan such a victorv. could call out such thinkers, speakers nnd workmen, could track the enemy in his secret places of malignant intrique. and by one wjv, y . -j ji.- uuiwij and opportunity for ovil, would be the pride of his native State in the United States Senate. Let us give honors to the comietitors of Mr. Simmons in the near ruture. xney are good men nna true and we nre proud of their record: but no living North Carolinian should for a moment be thought of for the high est honor (this year) but he who won back our inheritance, the great and noble F. M. Simmons. MANY PROMINENT WOMEN OF THE STATE. State papers please copy. TUE MYSTERY OF LOVE Ye ask me, friends, When I began to love. How should I tell you 7 How should the broad and open flower tell What scrt of bud it was, when, prest together In its. green sheath, close-lapt in silken folds. It seemed to keep Its sweetness to itself. Yo was not the less sweet, for that it seemed? For young Life knows not when young -Life was born, But takes U all for granted;' neither Jove, Warm in the heart, his cradle, can re member Love in the womb, but resteth satisfied, Lookie ou her that brought him to lirht. Qr n n'lcn know not when th asleen the fall Into delicious, dreams 'our other life, So know I not when I began to love, This is my sum of knowledge that my love Grew with myself say, rather, was my growth. My inward sap, the hold I have, on ' earth, My outward circling- air wherewith I breathe. Which yet upholds my life, and ever more Is to me daily life, and daily death: For how should I have lived, and not ' have loved? Can ye take off the sweetness from the flower. The (i. lor and the sweetness from tho rose, ' .! And place them by themselves; or set apart - Their motions and their brightness from the stars And then point out the flower or the rtar? Or build a wall betwixt my life and love, And tell me where I am? 'Tis oven thus: Ir that I live I love: because I love I live; whatever is fountain to the one Is fountain to the other: and wbene er Our God unknits the riddle of the one, There is nr. shade or fold of iriTsterv S washing the other. Tennyson's "The Lover's Tale." Unharmed Amid the Wreck . .;. (Chicago Record.) v Among the . very tew things which do not show effects-of Uie flood or its ac coin'ipiiyiKg hurricane at Galveston is the Kosen'berg monument. .This is a "marble shaft" 73 feet high, 'capped !by a heroic-bronze statue of "Patriotism" and ; having -slightly smaller statues in niches; at its -side, near -the ha.se. This was erected a year ago hy,fhe widow of Henry r Rosenberg, a former promi nent and wealthy resident,. avho, aimong otiier .things, presented the -city with the Rosenn?rg school. A carving on the bne -indieates that the monument is "A tribute from Henry Rosenberg to the heroes of the Texas revolution of ISo'O." The fence around the monument was demolished, ibu.t neither shaft, statue nor base shows any damage from the storm. It is by far the finest thing of the kind in Galveston and one of the finest in the entire South. FItzhugh Lee's New IfoasA (Ne?w.York World.) News comes from Winchester. Va., that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's family are there and that it is more than likely that they will buy a house and make Winchester their permanent home. During the summer Mrs. Lee and her three daughters were at Canon Swings. W. Va., a resort alxmt 25 miles frocn W mchester. The Je girls ' were the Ibelles of the resort. In choosing Win chester as a. place on abode when not in Cuba, General Lee selects a s-pot he helrped make famous during the Cm' War. It -was at Winchester taint. Gen eral Sheridan was halted in his march up the fchenandoali Valley. General Lea was one of the Virginians (who with stood the Federal's re and turned Sher idan out or the path Me had planned to taKe. Tie that Binds the South (Richmond Times.) It was not the appointment here and there of a Northern sj-nipathizer to of fice in the South that so embittered our IHiopie against the Republican party. It was the wholesale enfranchisement of negroep, the appointment of ignorant ne groes to office, the attempt of the Re publican party and its carpetbag-representatives to put the negro above the white man and to make the ox-slaves lord it over their former masters; in short, it was the infamy of reconstruc tion in the full -meaning of that term which drove the whites of the South to gether, and which has from that' day tg this-kept them together. . - --' .

I'm tWO rmi0VeS fr'in th' msn vnn nmrnH LIVE STOCK The fair to be.held.in Raleigh during the present week may be of great 'educa tional worth to the farmers of the State. Its real value to the individual depends upon the manner in which he spends his time while within the grounds. One farmer may spend two or three days very pleasantly walking through the grounds and buildings, meeting and greeting old friends, making new ac quaintances and renewing old ones, final ly to go away feeling that he has not got a hold, of anything worth carrying home, so far as helping to make his burdens less cumbersome or his labors more remunerative than they have been, is concerned. He may Jcnow just how much John Jones horse beat Sam Smith's; how much The big hog weighed; how much milk ' and butter the best cow on exhibit made; how long and how heavy the largest ear of corn was, or who had the biggest pumpkin, potato, melon, apples, pears, peaches or cab bage, and yet not have any" clear idea of how the fastest horse was bred, fed and trained; how the big hogs and good cows were bred and managed from in fancy to maturity; or how the best grains, vegetables and fruits were pro duced. This man has nothing aside from the social features enjoyed-to make him glad when he recalls to mjnd his stay at the fair and in Raleigh. , Another will have had all the social privileges, will kn6w all . about , the races, the live-stock and poultry, the farm crops, vegetables and fruits, and have some definite knowledge of just how each was produced, and at -the same time will have made some mental notes upon stock-breeding and feeding, soil improvement and crop production. The second man Trill go home feeling that he has been benefited, that he has gained some help from his trip, -and that some knowledge which will be-of value to him in his work during coming years has been stored up The first man asked a few questions merely for the sake of gratifying an idle curiosity. The manner in which his questions came convinced the exhibitor that he had no intention of attempting to better his condition or of ever becorn ing a purchaser of an ounce of seed a setting of eggs, a pig, Si calf, a sheep or a piece of improved machinery. Con frequently his questions did not meet with a very ready and satisfactory reply The second man asked very- few idle questions. His were all to the point nnd of such nature as to show the exhib itor that he had an earnest interrogates bent upon gaining knowledge, and oiie who would very likely become a cus tomer in the near future. This man's questions were answered fully and satis factorily, because there seemed to be something m them As a former exhibitor I would urge that all empty questions or idle and vague remarks be reserved for a more opportune season, and only those of a direct and practical nature be pro pounded during fair times. Exhibitors are ready and anxious to give any im portant information they can in' regard to their exhibit, but they are busy and have . neither, time nor desire to talk merely for the sake of words. I have known one man to ask the same ques tion of one exhibitor not less than half a dozen times in one day. How can such a course meet with courteous re plies and kind treatment? Perhaps the interrogator imagines the is aprtiymr David Harum's motto. "Do the other fellow as he would do you, and do him first." Let the stock man examine his Own cattle, hogs, sheep or poultry before going to the fair. btuuy them as a herd or flock and as individuals. Search out .their strong points, and weak ones if any exist. Have a correct idea of their age, size, tfarm, condition and .adaptability to the purpose for which they are kept. Determine also, ir possi ble. the cost of producing such animals, and their market value, or the value of their yearly product, if they are dairy cow?, sheep kept for wool, or poultry kept for eggs. With this knowledge in mind, one is ready, to profit by what there is -to be learned from stocK men at tne iair. Study the animals on exhibition as thor- oughly ' as a painter or sculptor would the model for a great production. These animals have strong points which are entirely lacking in those at home, while the latter may - have many points of merit not found in the former. Inquire of the breeder in regard to how he has developed his stock. Learn from him the principles underlying his success. Combine these principles with the know ledge already gained from the study of the home stock and conditions. The result will be a definite and true idea of the course to be pursued in improv ing the native stock. Do not be deluded into making pur chases of over-fat breeding-stock at the fair. These animals have been. pre pared for exhibition purposes, and fre quently are never used again for breed ing, because the heavy loads of fat that hogs, mutton sheep and beef cattle must now carry in order to be ranked high as meat producers interferes with them as reproducers. The premiums go to the meat animal carrying the thickest and most evenly distributed flesh; while with dairy ani mals and poultry the best -exhibition form is generally conceded to be as nea? as possible that of the best breeder and thriftiest grower. There is then less risk to run in buying poultry or dairy cattle from the fairs. But even then better bargains and more satis factory purchases are often made from stock not on exhibition. At the fair one learns to rate good Maud 'She 5s an Inveterate talker." Mav. "I should gay go; and yrhen it's DEPARTMENT breeding very , liighly. It is well to remember that breed as not all. A gooa breed has ' had good feed or It could never have gained a place among other good breeds. Good breeding must be backed up with good care and feeding, or the result is sure to be a disappoint ment to .the breeder. ' It would be as reasonable to expect a railroad locomo tive to draw! its train across the moun tains with neither fuel or water ase to require an animal to give us meat or milk without food to keep up the energy of the animal machine. . A quart of average ; milk weighs two and one-fifth pounds. In making this, milk the cow took out of the,. food con sumed one and; one-fifth ounces each of fat and casein or cheesy matter, one and three-fifths ounces of sugar and about thirty-five-hundredths of an ounce of ash, and mixed them with thirty and sdxty-fiye-hundredths ounces of water. The manufacture of milk is one of natures mysteries which to a consider able degree' Us under , control of the nervous system When the cow reels well the flow is best;, when she is un easy, frightened, ill or poorly nourished the flow of milk diminishes. Other things being favorable, Ahe quality of the milk is determined very largely by the quan tity and quality of the food. It is'an easy matter to feed milk into the udder and from that to the pail, but it is next io impossible to feed fat or butter into the milk. If the breed and nervous nake-up of the cow are such as to en able her to give milk containing but three per-cent of fat, there is no way of feeding-' so she will remain in health and give milk containing five per cent 'mtter fat. But if the cow is poorly tourished and gives three gallons of nilk, a more liberal, supply of good food may -cause her to give four gal lons, v' In selecting cows, or while studying them, look to breed and individuality for quality ,'of . milk, but within certain limits the. quantity is controlled by the food. This limit is not as wide as is often jStfpposed. A Jersey cow cannot consume food enough to make the same quantity of milk that a good Holstein will give, but the Jersey may give as much butter as the. Holstein. J. M. JOHNSON, ' - N. C.
