The only ones paid were those which woie received before last Thursday, when the Attorney General decided that only the debts up to the t ad of 1898 could be paid. Very little is now heard huie about the Agricultural and Mechaukal College presidency. The next met ling of the trustees is not very far away and is apt to result in sou.e interesting develop uieuts. The supporters of Dr. (ieorgeT. Winston are said to be still firm in their attitude. 1 here are several applicants and of course some dark horses. There is considerable objection to electing any one who haa been in some way iilentl tied witli North Carolina. It was in this oorrespondciice Hint the fact was first made public that President;. Holliday has never resigned, but that bis attitude in the matter is that he will retire If it is thought l . it by the trustees to have another president. This statement is accurate and does him justice. The Corporation Commission meets here and will be In session for a week. Thurday ami Krida the commission will hear exrepti mis as to the nev rates, as tiled by I lie Aiueiicau anil Hell Tele phone companies and the question of freight rate i ou leililiers as tiled by the Southern lUilioad uud Atlantic Coast Line.

Ashe, of llilclgh, who for years has been eonnei le.l with Slate Geologlal Holmes in bis geological sin vcy work and his forestry work has been appointed lo prepare the United Slates forestry exhibit for thei'aris Exposition. Mr. Ashe left here for Washington City, and from tin re he will go to the most important forest regions of the United Stales and Alaska to sen re material for this exhibit. For about three months woik has been suspended on the Church of the Good Shepherd here, lie v. Dr. Pittinger, the rector, says thai il will be resumed at once. The Seaboard Air Liue, by teasou of faiiture to perfect an appeal in time, loses the suit for damages by the partial burning oi the llygenic Ice Factory here, and has lo pay $20,000. The rail road attorneys are pretty sore about this case, which, was a remarkable one. The railroad does not relish It either and there are people ho say the jury ver dict, as showing animus toward a cor poration, was unfortunate for IUleigh coming at lime when the corporation was consldeiin.' the matter of largely In creasing its local luvestuieul .

It set in t that the convicts make money for use In gamb ling. How tbey get time lo make It is b puzzle. Miserable stuff It Is; not calcu lated to deceive anyone. Babbitt metal it the material used generally, with a little antimony. y - There is to be here a permanent boate for aged, Inflrin and Incurable womoji. For five years It baa been maintained locally, but now It is to be for tbe Slate t large. Mr. John T Pullen Is tbe trustee and to blm contributions may be lent.

It is sol believel possible that any one would attempt lo rob such a place. There was a curious suit before a mag istrate here. Ex United Slates Marshal O. J. Carroll, former owner of the Car rollou Hotel, brought suit lo eject W. L. Gilbert, lessee of tbe hotel, and won his case. Carroll charged tbat Gilbert dls crimluatt d anaiaat Carroll and family, who board at tbe hotel; that be did not furnish them with such food as other hoarders had, and tbat they were not served with milk. There were many witnesses and a large erewd at the trial, which was the seusallon of the day. Governor Hussell issues a warrant for the excullou of Avery Kale, at Newton, on September 2 Mb. Kale was convicted of murder in tbe first degree, but ap pealed and the Supreme tiourt affirmed tho judgment. Thomas Tburman, deputy sherilT of Troy, Mo., says if everyone in the United Stales should discover the virtue of De Witt's Witch lla?el Salvo for piles, rec tal troubles aud akin diseases, the de mand could not be supplier. V S Duffy Co Weekly Crop Miillelln. The Weekly Crop bulletin for week ending Monday, June 10, 1891), is as fol lows: 1 he reports of crop correspondents for the week ending Monday, June 19, 189'J, with few exceptions, iudlcale very satisfactory progress in the growth of crops. I he temperature was considera bly above the normal from the 13th to the IKili, and maximum temperatures between 00 and 1)8 occurred generally; although a decided fall iu temperature took place the latter part of the week, Saturday aud Sunday especially being very cool, the cool wave was practically over by Monday (10th) aud is uot thought to have checked growth materially. Fine rains fell the eailv and latter portions of the week with sunny intervals. More rain is needed along the southern coun ties from KliUinouil to Mecklenburg, ami perhaps in other isolated sections, chiefly on tbe coast. Heavy washing rains were reported ou the 13th aud 14th iu the following counties: Korsylb, Davidson, Franklin, Person and Warren, where considerable damage to various crops occurred. In these and a lew other couulies grass and weeds have had opportunity to grow, but generally the crops throughout tbe Slate are In an un usually good elate of cultivation . Farm work ft tug raised nicely daring the week. Crops are Iu excellent condi tion and grew splendidly; in fact several correspondents state tbat vegetation it now as well advanced as usual at this season, except cotton and gardens which are sliH-itate. Harvest made rapid pro gress; is over In the south, half finished in the north-central portion of the State and commenced In tbe west. Some wheat and oats have lieen boused and thresh ing Is boginning. Laying by corn Is now becoming geueral; corn it doing very well. The ravages by cut worms on low lands have been so great many farmers have, plowed up bottoms and planted over. Cotton is growing very fast and will soon set squares In the south. The last of the tobacco baa been transplanted complaints Cf damage of this crop by bud or wire worms and grasshoppers art) more numerous this week,especially from northern counties. Tbe heaviest ship ments of iiish potatoes are over, borne tweet potato sprout and vines art till being set out. liice appears to have come out considerably since the rain. Plant ing field peat continued. Vegetables are late and scarce in the west where gar dens suffered so much from drought, rlay will be short of eipectallons, though a good yield. Blackberries are ripeniug. Early apples and peaches are coming into market and are of poor quality.

Prisoners At Halifax Assault Keeper And Escape. Nfne River Falls Power Hale. I'nl ventlty Statmer School. En campment In Doubt. Letter to Peniten tiary Creditors. IUi.Eion, June 22 The Asheville Ga zette, which is attacking the franchise amendu.ent to the constitution, makes the .statement that uo election has been held under the Louisiana Jaw. The, eon jjrrejsjojiat election iat ,JW was held under It, as the law provides that regis tration should be prior to Beptenaber 1, 189H The are intimations that tbe bid for the sale of the water power at the falls of the Neuse river, 1 1 miles from lial eigh, may be raised and an electric pow er plant put in. It is said that for eight months in the year there Is 800 horse power and during the dry seasou never less than 400. Thomas I'. Devereux, one of the ref erees iu bankruptcy, has made bis re port for tbe first six months. It shows l(i cases, liabilities tftU.OOO, assets $4,000, costs $400. Il appears that some of the Supreme Court people are disposed to kick be cause the annex to the agricultural building will eitend to within 10 feet of the Supreme Court building. There is also talk of building an "argument room" in the courtyard. It appears thai the justices don't like any noise Tbe prisoners iu jail at Halifax N. C, assaulted the jailer and made theii escape taking the jail keys with them. A man came to the jailer's assistance, but got the worst of il. Neither the jailer nor his friend are seriously hurt. Blood hounds have been sent from the Slate farm to hunt tbe prisoners down. The corner stone of the Presbyterian church here will uot be laid uutil next Wednesday. The Slate Superintendent of Public Instruction ia pretty warm iu the collar It is uot the hot weather which made him so, but a letter from a Forsyth Re publican, in which the' latter accused him of insincerity because lie recognizes tbe uew county school boards elected by the Legislature as tbe legal ones until tbe courta decide otherwise. It appears tbat in Forsyth and nine or ten other counties the old or fusion boards are holding on. The Superintendent wrote a letter with pepper in every word to the Forsyth man. The best rate the railroads have so far offered tbe Adjutant General for the transportation of the Second and Third Regiments of tbe State Guard lo Horc- bi ad City is 1 2 3 cents per mile 'or the round trip. But this is declared to be too high and il Is said that unless a rate of 1 1 3 cents Is made there will be no encampment. Some newspapers have said that ow ing to the trouble about various com panies In the First Itegiment there was about to be a re-organization of the whole Guard. That is an error. The Second and Third Regiments are not In tbe least affected. There Is good feeling and no quarreling about the First. Tbe Agricultural Department has a re port tbat phosphate rock had been dis covered in Caswell county. A special from Sanford, N. C, says "A $126,000 cotton mill was organized here today withW. H. Watkins as presi dent and T. L. Chisolm as secretary and treasurer. The mill will be operated by electricity." The University summer school for teachers was opened at Chapel Hill Wed nesday by Profeasor M. O. S. Noble, who has charge of the school this summer. There were seventy live teachers present at the opening. Slate treasurer Worth bas issued a letter to tbe penitentiary creditors, as follows: "Answering :your inquiry at to the payment of the State's prison debts 1 will say: The $110,000 of bonds were sold and tbe proceeds $120,202 50, came into ray bands.

The treasurer of Wake county brings suit against the Republican ex sheriff for some $4,500 of taxes not paid, for $2,500 penalty and 2 per cent Interest.

Jei man, cashier of the Com mercial & Farmers' Bank, conducted the negotiations aud at the annual meeting of the company announced that tbe con trol had changed hands. The new own ers will make a plant entirely modern and promise considerable reduction in the price of gas for illuminating, and a very low rate for fuel and power nas. All the sto. k is now owned by honft people. Heretofore Baltimore people had a large interest. Dr. Richard H. Lewis, secretary of tbe Slate boanl if health, received a report that the town of Gatesville orders com pulsory vacciuation. Smallpox increases there. Nothing is being done in Gates county to stamp out the disease. It is in more than thirty white and colored fami lies. The ceunly has no superintendent of health, as the commissioners decllue to elect one, saying they will not put power iu any one man's bands. Insurance Commissioner Young gives out a statement of the insurance com panies which have been licensed and those which have been domestic corpor ations. It sIiowb that of tbe life com panies 34 are licensed, and 23 domesti cated, those not domesticated being the Home aud the Manhattan, of New York; the Mutual Benefit and Prudential of New Jersey, and the Security ot Phila delphia.

AN HONEST INDIAN. t tlaaralar RirlcaH With A r. a . Ua, s Cautaf W th. Crawl. Arapoolsh, chief of tbe Crow Indians, was a man of wonderful influence. In "Bonneville's Ad ventorea" an incident Is related showing hie method of re straining tbe evil propenalUee of bit braves. Mr.' Robert Campbell, while a sjneet In tbe lodge of Ar.pooiah, had collected a large quantity of foiwaeM, fearful of being plundered, had deposit ed bot a part in tbe lodge. Tbe rest be boried. One niffht Arapoolsh entered tbe lodge with a cloudy brow and, taming to Campbell, said: "Yon have more far. with roa than yon have brought to my lodge t" "I have." replied CampbelL "Where are tbey f" Campbell described the place. " 'Tis well," said Arapoolsh. 'Ton speak straight But your cache ha. been robbed. Qo and see bow many akint have been taken. Campbell examined tbe cache and estimated his loss to be a boat ISO bea ver skins. Arapooish summoned his people, re proacbed them for robbing a guest and commanded tbat tbe skins should be brought back. For himself, he would not eat or drink till all bad been re stored. Soon tbe skins began to come in. They were laid down in tbe lodge, and those wbo brought them departed with out a word. Arapoolsh sat in one cor ner silent. Above a hundred pelts were brought in, and Campbell expressed himself satisfied. Mot so tbe Crow chief tain. He fasted all night. In tbe morn ing more skins were brought in, and one and two at a time tbey continued to come through tbe day. "Is all right now I" demanded Ara pooisb. "All is right," replied Campbell. "Good I Now bring me meat and drink," said the old chief. WORRY. What Thl. FoalUh. Eacrvatlmsr Hafc. It Does for M.aklaa. Worry ia forethought gone to seed. Worry ia diacooating possible future sorrows ho tbat tbe individual may bave present misery. Worry is the fa ther of insomnia. Worry is the traitor in our camp tbat dampena oar powder, weakens our aim. Under tbe guiae of helping us to bear tbe present and to be ready for tbe future worry multi plies enemies within our mind to tap our strength. Worry ia the dominance of tbe mind by a single, vague, reetlees, unsatisfied, fearing and fearful idea. The mental snergy and force tbat should be concen trated on tbe successive duties of the day is constantly and surreptitiously abstracted and absorbed by this one fix ed idea. The full, rich strength of tbe nnconscious working of tbe mind, tbat which produce onr best success, that represents our finest activity, ia tapped. led away and wasted on worry. Worry must not be confused with anxiety, though both words agree in meaning originally, a "choking," or a "strangling," referring, of course, to tbe throttling effect upon individual activity. Anxiety facet Urge iatnes of life seriously, calmly, with dignity. Anxiety always suggests hopeful possi bility ; it ia active in being ready and devising measures to meet tbe outcome. Worry ia not one large individual tor row ; it is a colony of petty, vagne, in significant, restless. Imps of fear, that become important only from their com bination, their constancy, their itera tion. William George Jordan in The Saturday Evening Pott avian; Bias. . .
