"The Morganton bank failure
appears to be one of the most
complete the State has ever seen,
only about $1,200 in cash being
lound in the bank's vaults. There
is a conflict .between Judge Hoke
and State Treasurer Worth over
the appointment of a receiver,
Judge Hoke having appointed

insisting that his selection, Adju
tant General Cowles, who was ap
pointed by J udge Robinson, shall
have charge of .the bank's affairs.
The matter of the receivership
will probably have to be settled
by the Supreme Court before the
active investigation of the bank's
affair's can begin." -

President recommends a waiting
policy regarding Cuba. The tariff,
he says, having leen settled in ex
tra session, the currency Ts the
pressing question. He further
says that we shotfltl not hesitate to
enter upon a revision which will
make the demand of obligation
less onerous, and relieve our finan
cial laws from ambiguity and
loubt. The evil of the present
system, he says, is found in the
great cost to the government in
maintaining the parity of the dif
ferent forms of money. He - sees
a dangerous menace in this to the
national credit. He opposes the
present system of redemption and
recommends that when any of the
United States notes are presented
fof redemption in gold and are re
deemed in gold, such notes shall
be kept and set apart, and only
paid out in .exchange for gold.
He urges the annexation of Ha
waii. A national system of quar
antine is demanded. Better gov
ernment for Alaska, he says, de
mands prompt and early attention.
He also recommends a curtailment
of appropriations. He declares
that there should be no issue of
bonds and the. necessity for it
must be prevented. The civil ser
vice, he says, is being improved,

departments of the government
are touched .upon and handled

Ilis admonition to Congress to
keep the appropriations within the
receipts of the government is per
haps one of the best features of
the message. It shows he wishes
to run the government economi
cally, and for it he deserves praise.
It is worthy of him and the . high
office he holds.
- The message will no doubt be
well received.

crowded to suffocation leaned for

The prisoner was asked if he
had counsel. He replied that he
did not have and did not want any.
Notwithstanding .the Judge ap
pointed Col. James T. Morehead
and P. D. Satchwell to defend him
He retired to the outroom with his
counsel. . In a few moments thev

was placed in - the peculiar posi

while his client wished to enter

wished to enter he asked along
with Mr. Satchwell t be excused.
He was excused.
Judge Adams then expostulated
with the. prisoner, telling him that
learned counsel had been appoin
ted to defend him and he should
follow their advice. The prisoner
was not merely cool, he was abso
lutely indifferent. It might have
been a man in Euroje whose life
was at stake for all the concern he
showed. He stood up chewing his
tobacco stolidly and replied: "I
do not wan't counsel. I have com

A few months later, she married

Newton, the first husband, mourned
as dead, suddenly appeared on the
