Sweet potatoes getting plentiful.
(jilte a cold wave prevailed today.

The cool weather is suggestive of
the "halt shell"
The cotton market is at almost a
complete standstill.
Manager. Heartt has a good list
booked for th season.
The improvements at the Insane
Asylum are about finished.
We are likely to have soon one of
the foremost tragedians in this coun
try In Raleigh. C
A camp meeting is in progress in
the Tlelnlty of Greensboro and much
interest prevails.
This looks like the long rainy spell
in August which is usually the break
log up of the hated term.
An application for the ten cent cir
cus has been rather set back on ac
count of the enormous tax.

The July number of the Charlotte
Medical Journal has , an elaborately
written article on typhoid fever. It
is of much interest, not only to the
profession, but to the entire public.
An ezchaege very properly says:
Btop croaking. It doesn't pay. It is
all loss and no profit. Whenever the
eroaker shall cease to ply his vacation,
money will be plenty and business
prosperous. Btop croaking.
There is a dog in Mecklenburg
county that carries corn and hay into
the stables for horses and keeps the
cow from going inco the stable. He
will set on a chair, and walk with a
corn stalk in one paw like a dude.
lu the United 8tates Court at Nor
folk yesterday, judgment was render
ed against the Richmond and Dank
Tille Bail road in favor of W G Jack-
man receiver of the West Point Ter
minal Company, for nearly $3,000,000.
There was a slight detention of
the Richmond excursion down the
road this morning owing to some dis
arrangement of the machinery. Bo
the report goes. It was sooa reme
died however, and the excursionists
went on their way rejoicing.
The program which was announced
today for the races was postponed
until tomorrow, and the program for
tomorrow is postponed until Friday
In other words, the two day's races
will take place Thursday and Friday.
This was rendered necessary, as we
understand, on account of the rather
heavy condition of the track caused
by the rain. . s f t . .
Give US' the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman act says one. Let us
have free coinage of silver says an
other. Still another says give us i
huge pile of currency based on the
fiat of the government, but the av
erage newspaper man says give us
subscribers and a plenty of "ads,"
and we won't quarrel about the kind
of money. We will agree to take all
nickels, if that will suit
.The ..special world's fair tour No 2
Is 'announced by ' the' Seaboard Air
Line for Tuesday, Sept 5th. These
personally conducted tours, inaugu
rated by the Seaboard Air Line, have
become exceedingly popular with the
world's fair tourist from the fact that
they afford the most comfortable way
possible of reaching Chicago and at
the same time reduces the cost of the
trip to a minimum. The perfect ho
tel arrangements for the tourist party
is apeoial v feature, a vod ing as it
does the pofslbility of uinc'i confns
ln on your arrival aui trouble iucl
dent to securing satisfactory accom
modatlons. Mr A J Oooke, 8 P A,
will be glad to give you all the infor
mation desired.
A FEARFUL 81TUTI0.
Phe Pecuniary Condition of the Coun
try Most Harming.
We are not aUrmist but we cannot
hut our eyes to the fact that the
present condition of the countiy, in a
pecuniary sense, is mdfet alarming.
What is worse, if matters aienot
speedily adjusted, we fear that the
bottom has not been reached. Turn
and twist it as you will, it is appa
rent that currency is becoming scarcer
and scarcer, and there is an evident
corner which bodes no good. In this
connection, we are struck with the
statement which, while it denies that
the Durham factories have shut
down, puts down the contingency
that they will continue to run so long
as currency hold .out. It is true that
we are somewhat cheered up with
the announcement that gold is pour
ing in from Europe. This, however,
will do but little good, if designing
men see fit , to sf rostrate the move-
ment and the' distrust is allowed to
continue on account of the insction
of congress. Just where .the trouble
lies no one seems to know, and the
wiseacre o' congress appear as much
at a loss as the humblest man in the
nation.
