Flrat Half of 180 lUeord Brcakar In Volume. Nw York, June SO Bradstreet's to morrow will aay: Though seasonably quieter In many lines, tbe strength of the general business situation remains unabated and tbe half year closes with the commercial and financial community contemplating satisfactory returns. In tbe volume of business done the first half of 1899 will cerlaiuly rank higher than the best hitherto experienced and the notable rise in prices, which was auch a feature of the past spring, bas done much to reconcile traders to tbe admittedly small margins of profits which modern business operaiions tend toward making permanent. Touching tbU matter, it might be added that staple prices today are in a majority of instances well above quota tions ruling for some years past, the general level, in fact being the highest since early in 1993. In some Instances, of couree, notably In iron and steel,! recent advances have brought the level of prices well above anything reported since 181)2, though it is to be remarked that much of the business In that indus try this spring was at old levels. That the traasportatlon interests have shared, to a large degree in tbe business resulting from several years of large crop and active demand is proved by tbe current good return, the beat prob ably reported so far this year, and indi cating a progressive gain over all previ ous record (or the six month, notwlth sunding the steadily loweriug rates of transportation. The labor situation hss been one of the most satisfactory features of the half year's business, voluntary advices hav ing raised the compensation of thous ands of operatives, and labor trou bles being conspicuous by their ab sence till toward tbe close of tbe period under review, when railures to agree upon wages and hours in the Colorado smelling industry and in tin-plate manu factoring rendered a large number of workmen idle.

During the past fonror five months there have been no less than eight incen diary fires at Wilson.

Under a new law ft ia made bis duty to investigate and re port on all Incendiary fires. A mile of the track of tbe Rlchmond- Ridgeway Railroad has been laid at tbe Rlilgewsy end. A narrow gauge railroad on tbe Richmond end ia trying In every conceivable way to obstruct the building of t lie Richmond end. Revenue Collector Duncan announced tarly in tbe week that he would make a let of changes (n the revenue force. He announced tbe changea as follows: Miss Flora Creech relieves 8. P. Mason, aa stenographer, the latter relieving W. P. King as clerk, King relieving W. G. Pool who at bis own request relieves S. A, Hodgln as general storekeeper, Bodgln relelvlng N. A. Brown (Democrat) at the disbursing desk. James H. Toung colored, ei colonel of the Third Regi ment of Volunteers and devoted friend of Governor Russell, relieves John E. Cameron at tbe brandy desk, Cameron becoming general storekeeper. W. J. Sutton, of Bladen', who was Governor Russell's favorite for treasurer of tbe Atlantic ft North Carolina Railroad, relieves J. B. Holland as deputy collector. Collector Duncan will have a little side talk with Holland and offer blra some other kind of "pie," "something equally as good." The collector says: "I have sent In the names of 125 storekeepers and gaugera, to tske the place of Democrats, and, God willing, none of the latter will be left. I am pleased to be able to clean them out so early, like the Democrats did our people In tbe Agricultural De partmeat. These are all my own ap pointments and 1 stand by them." Before the corporation commission there waa argument .h. the Southern, Atlantic Coaat Line and Norfolk 4 Western Railroads against the order re ducing to ten tone the "minimum car load" of commercial ferterlizers. W. A- Guthrie appeared for tbe Norfolk A Western; Messrs. Drake and Meuifer for tbe Southern and Mr. Williams for the Atlantic Coast Line. The Seaboard has transferred its case to the Federal Court. Tbe figures got mixed as to tbe in crease of valuation per mile on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line and its Wilson A Fayetteville and Petersburg division, by tbe corporation commission. Tbe increase of these by the corporation commission Is from $18,000 to $25,000, Tbe increase of valuation of the prop erty of the various transportation com paules approximates 80 per cent., and nearly nine-tenths of the Increase Is on the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line lyatems, Returns are rapidly coming in to the Agricultural Department as to the con dition of crops up to June 80. Officials ay that the return show that crops are In very fair condition. The board of public bulidlug and grounds met and took step to nullify tbe action of the chairman of tbe board of agriculture in ordering that the State Museum exhibit In the front or louth ectlon of the State Museum should be removed and tbe corporation commission given that part of the building. The reason for tbe firing of such an order by the chairman i a puxzle. Tbe board of agriculture did not order that the corporation commission be given any part of the Museum. The executive committee at it meeting did not, as a whole, act on It, bat only two member voted for It. The chairman at that meet log mad remark in ridicule of the Museum, this being to first time that aaytblig save the highest praise ha been heard from any North Carolina, or Indeed from anyone, who ha aver Men tbe Museum.

If I should die to-night, My friends would look upon mj quiet face, Before tbey laid it in its final resting place, And deem that death had left it almost fair, And laying snow-white flowers against my hair. Would smooth it down with tearful ten derness, And fold my bauds with liugering caress, Poor hands, so empty and so cold to night. If I should die to-night, My friends would call to mind with lov lug thought, Some kindly deed the icy band had wrought; Some gentle words the frozen Hps had sdd; Errands on which the willlug feet had sped; The memory of my selfishness and pride, My hasty words would all be put aside, And so I should be loved and mourned to-night. If I should die tonight, Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me, Recalling other days remorsefully; Tbe eye that chilled me with averted glance, Would look upon me aa of yore, per chance, And sofieu in the old familiar way. For who could war with dumb uncon scious clay? So I might rest forgiven of all tonight. Oh! friends, I pray tonight, Keep not your kitset for my dead cold brow Tbe way is lonely, let me feel them now, Think gently of me; I am travel worn; My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn, Forgive, ob, hearts estranged; forgive, I pleadl When dreamless rest la mine, I shall not need Tbe tenderness for which I long tonight; T. M , '. MA STICK THE CLOI)lH. Be master of the olouda. Let them not master thee; Compel the sunshine to thy soul, However rough the tea. Be not as those who own Nor hope nor glow of faith; Beyond the clouds tha light remains, And true life conquer death.

She panned for a moment, nerving herself inwardly to encounter disappointment in case it r-hould come, and then, in full control of herself, she prepared to descend. Leaving her boudoir, with its $100,000 bedstead, she pawed tbe diamond and ppbire inlaid bathroom, with its gold fanoets glittering in tbe electric light, and, stepping into tbe cot glass eleva tor, was whirled rapidly downward to the first floor. Stepping lightly over tbe $1,000,000 rug in tbe reception hall and brushing abstractedly against tbe $2,000,000 tapestries in the drawing room, she passed through a long passage into tbe waiting room in tbe rear of the honse, where a tall, dignified foreigner stood up and bowed reepectfnlly as sbe entered.
