Proprietor, LINCOLN TON, N. C. For Sale in Raleigh by J. R. FERRALL & CO. ustu tyuiiAHLt ruNUb . Syndicates Speculated With the Society's Money - t ! Profits Unaccounted for on the 1 Books Senator Depev Among Those Who Had a Finger in This Particular Brand of Pie V New York, Sept. 27. Today's heay- I.'ng of the Armstrong committee wan devoted almost exclusively to syndicate .transactions in the Equitable Life As- Isurance Society. Important disclosures were made. It was shown that $110, L'34, representing profits which should have gone to the Equitable in syndi orfte transactions, was either missing altogether, or unaccounted for on the society's books. More" than half of this amount went to an account known as the "George H. Squire , trustee ac count," -carried in Ihe American .De posit and Loan Company, which was the. predecessor of the Equitable Trust' Company. This trustee's account, it was shown, was opened in April, 1900, and con tinued in force until 1902. In that year $100,000 was transferred from the ac count to the notorious $085,000 loan ac count In the Mercantile Trust Com pany, from which it has been charged that campaign contributions and lob bying fees were paid. The $100,000 represented ths cash balance at the Urn-. It tvris shown today that besides the ynJtcate profits stocks and other se curities of which the Equitable has had no record of ownership on Its books were entered as assets on these accounts. Some of these securities ap pear to have come into the possession of Squire as trustee from a firm of brokers, Williamson & Squire, but tha indications were today that they had once been collateral on loans made by .he Equitable Society whicli had proved to be worthless. The Squire in the broi rage firm is a son of the trustee " t$ Equitable account. i. .n Mr. "Winthrop's testimony - it kas shown among other things that Senator Chauncey Depew was interested-in syndicate transactions in which the Equitable was interested. In one rase in which the senator was inter ested it was shown that the society had put up not only the amount of its Dwn participation in the syndicate, but Mso the amount of the senator's par ticipation as well as the participations pf others. The Equitable received in terest at the rate of 4 per cent for the money used on behalf of the individual signers. In this case also the allot ment of the participation was made originally to the Equitable Society, so that the interest taken by Senator De pew and tho other individual syndica tors was actually a part of the Bquit able's participation. The Ecjuitanle later actually bought bonds handled by this syndicate in the market which it had before the individuals got their participation. Two Trolley Car Accidents ? Wilmington, N. C Sept. 27.

Wru Ting Fang, who wras for six years minister to the United States, is seeking re tirement from official life according to news which has been received in Wash ington. In any other country a nian who wished to cease working for the government would merely have to cease, but in China it is a very diffi cult thing to get away from an offi cial position. There are only two rea sons that are regarded as sufficient cause for retirement, and it is doubt ful whether Mr. Wu can make good on either one. One is ill health, and Mr. Wu is proceeding along this line. Thi other condition is a matter of tradi tion. If the official's parents are sev. enty years of age and he is the only son, he may retire on the theory that he is needed at home. Mr. "Wu can not operate under the condition last named, and judging from advices received here it is doubtful if he can prove that his health is such that he should be per mitted to retire. It is likely that he may gain some headway on account of the explosion in the railway station at Pekin last week. wince air. wu left this countrv in 1903 his rise in the eovernment in vir, has been almost phenomenal. He is now assistant minister of foreign af- j.u.ua, me ingnesi position wnlch a Chinese outside of the civil service can attain. Combine of Tobacco Growers iLexington, Ky., Sept. 27.
