throughout the country for the
Tpa8t three months as compared
' "with the corresponding period of
last year. The record of the,
Southern States exhibits a phe-
nominal ousiness staDility as
t compared with the . failures in
Nerth and West. The increase
' of liabilities in Minnesota alone
was four times more than in the
entire South. So in bank clear
ings the best showing is in the
'Southern States the returns
showing a gain of 14 per cent, as
against 2 J per cent in the West,
4 per cent in the North West,
2 in New England, and an aver
age ef 8 per cent throughout ,he
country, showing that the South
despite the general depression
has made better progress than

The Republican Convention is
in session as we go to press. Its
deliberations are a study for trie
man who believes that fusion
and Populism are good for Ber
tie County. No good citizens
can possibly endorse the conduct
of some of the participants in
that body.
The Honorable United States
Senator, Marion Butler, the mul
tieloquent chairman of the mul
tinominous party , would have
been edified could he have look
ed into Windsor Court House
last Friday. The gymnastic
performrnce of the Republican
gynmotus chairman was fully
equalled by the grandiloquence of
the ekmember ot the Legislature.

notes were sounded in Bertie
County last Friday, and today
in the court house is being tin
acted a scene in the Republican
County Convention that should
nerve the white men of. North
Carolina to stand in do- unbrok-
on column to keep down the co
horts of ignorance and vice.
The Patron and Gleaner says
many complimentary things
about Hon. A. W. Graham
who has been holding a twoweeks
term of Northampton court.
Mr. Conner, the editor of that
