The Increase in North Caro-
Una's Banking Capital
DURING 3 PANIC YEARS
In 1805 There is $548,TOO More
Banklna- Capital Than In 1892
Tbe State Is Prospering. ' ,
There la invested.in banking eaplUl
ia'thia 8'ate today $548,700 more dol
lars that were Invested U 1809, the
year of the greatest financial panls of
modern rears. This telle tbe whole
story the encouraging recital of how
this old State of onrs,.tlow though she
may be. hat yet stood the pressure of
hard timet better than any other
Southern State, and how the masses
of her people, schooled to economy by
bnslness depression are now In a bet
ter eoaditloa than they hive ever been,
Here is what Auditor B. M- Forman.
tald this morning, snd basked up with
the sold reasoning of plain figures:
"Notwithstanding tha calamity howl
ers, the Old North Bute hat made
more substantial improvement the past
three years than any other Southern
State. Her people have reduced their
debta, have produced more food-stuffs
for man snd beset," snd added more
to the manufacturing -enterprises dur
ing that period than during all the
tints previous, ' since the; war. ' As a
most suggestive snd important ill us.
tratloa, In addition to the above, la
the regular increase of banking capi
tal ainoe 1899. V Banking capital, of all
kinds of oapltal, never lnoreases save
la prosperous communities. In 1809
the total banking capital of the State
was $6,582,000. ' In July, 1895, It was
$7,130,700, showing an Increase from
Jsly, 1892, to July, 1896, of 1548,700.
If to this could be added the large ad
ditions to the capital of various manu
facturing enterprises, the showing
would ts-uly be pleasing. And this,
too. during ths severest panic known
to modern times." -
"North Carolina is growing in all
the elements which go to make a pros
perous and a happy people."
We showed, the above to Commis
sioner Psttersoa this morning: .
"I With the newspapers would print
more statetasnta like that. It does
good. ; Oaring , ths past year I have
traveled a great deal over the State
snd have bsd an opportunity to ob
serve thoeondltion of the people. ' I
tell yon frsnkly 1 believe that the peo
ple of tblrState are today In a better
eoaditloa than they ever were before.
They have learasd how to economise,
and with good crops sad prospects for
good prices, I think everything points
to a prosperous epoeh la ths State's

OUTCAST, WITH A SICK BABY.
The Sad Story of Way ward Sally Mc-
Cnllonshe Baby Died Laet Might.
, To Bex Hospital yesterday morning
came Sally MeCulloughs, scares more
than a girl, ) Her face was tad, snd
her untidr dress and tha pleading
look of. hopeleaa sorrow in her eyes
made her Indeed a pitiable object. la
her arms shs carried a three months
baby, with coming death sta"mped 'on
Its pinched features and sstted form.
The baby had the fever, snd the dis
ease wat sapping away whatever
strength it may have derived from the
young mother, with the eye of s wound
ed dovs. - And she hsd some there that
the baby might have the skilled medi
cal treatment that the was unable to
afford. T But the hospital authorities
aaid they eould not take the little sick
one. And so, while ths sun beat down
with depressing heat, ths poor glrl
mother and the sick inf snt went slowly
bsck. , , t , ., ,
For hoars shs wslked the streets,
knowing not where-to go or' turn.
Finally Mayor Buss gavs her an order
on the hospitsl people for ths admis
sion of the child. But when night was
nearly gone, tbe spirit of the aiek baby
went also.
Death may have some in any event)
but who can ssv that had the child
been received for medical attention in
the morning ita life would not have
been saved. ; -:
But behind the death of this little
one there lies s sad story of a way
ward womaa, of good family connec
tions, who. In her disgrace, refused to
continue her downward source or bring
farther disgrace by her pretence on
her family. ...
The first known of the sate wss when
' ths child mother asms to Mr. T. P.
Derereux to make ost papers fcgainsi
ths man who had ruined her Iif4 Hit
asms is W. B. Woodell snd belies in
Harnett connty.
' The woman waa poor and at S Meet
ing of ths County Commissioner! the
wss given two dollars. When this'ptti-
ful turn was gone she applied W Mr.
loha Pnllen, who gave her money t
2
goto Harnett. She left, and; whl
the was gone her betrsyer was brought
here under arrest,.Nio trial oojald be
bad, however,' oa acaoant of Her ab
sence.! It was only yeate'rday thht she
returned to lose her child.
atr. ievereux tayt that he has two
witnesses to prove that Sally MeCol

Loha bst-beeu-arvtyward one',. She hat
good family eobaectione here, but ebe
wonld not ask aid of them, saying tbat
her disgrace wat their'a also.
And so this wronged1 girl has lost
her baby, the only being In the world
that ahe thought true or who believed
In her,

Mr. Broughton ia Interested
In Prof. Moses' Book.
BOOL SALES? SUSPENDED
Mr. Broughton Says That if His In
terest CoAfliota Witb Law, .
.. He atay ReelBn. -. .
- Today there was much talk oa.tfae
Streets aboat the fact which became
known that Mr. N. B. Broughton, a
member of the school eommittee, was
Interested la the tale of a book, Moses'
Phonetic Bender, which Is now oa the
list pf books used in the public schools
of this city. , This, it is said, is ia dl
rest eoafltot with "the law on tha sub
ject snd it wat reported thst Mr.
Brousrhton would resign from the
school board.
The law on the subject reads at fol
lows:, "That no member of said school
eommittee shall be in an way, direct
ly or indirectly, interested In the sals
of any books, apparatus or other
tehool supplies, supplied to the pub
lie schools of said township."
Some yeara ago Prof. Moses, the
former superintendent 'of Raleigh's
publie schools, published his (Moses)
Phonetic Reader. The publishers were
Meters. Edwards 4 Broughton, and
the latter Is thus interested in the sale.
Aa longas Prof. Mosea wat superin
tendent, the book, which it said by
competent people to be an excellent
pnblieation,wat not uaed in tbe schools.
When Mr. Moses resigned, however,
the school committee, of which Mr
Broughton is a member, put this book
on the list.
A Pbbsb-Visitor reporter called on
Mr. Broughton and asked him if it was
true as reported that he would resign
from tbe beard:
"No, air; I would hardly call that a
correct report If my being onnnected
with Mr. Moses' reader ia la conflict
with tha law, the bookt will be with
drawn or I will resign from the com
mittee. VI have been on the eommittee
for seventeen years and would not
mind resigning. Tho other members
of the committee aon t wan i me to ao
so, however, and I don't know that 1
will.
'Some friends raise the point that
the law is applicable only te books
bought by the schools. The sohools
do not buy books, to any extent, and
i'. is said tbat when they are bought
by the children from the. bookstores,
uy being connected with a book is not
in conflict with the law.
You may sar that I have requested
the various bookstores to suspend the
sale' of the reader until the contro
versy may be settled. I do not wish
do anything in any way in violation
Hf the law."
