THE BANK OF WADESBORO
Seaboard Air Line to provide a
union det flt Wadesboro, ade
quate to tho needs of the place,
this t- be icady for use within 90
days.
The following is the finding of
the Coi juration Commission:
'That the Seaboard Air Line
Kail way and tho Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Companies are
within the corporate limits of the
town of Wadesboro. and that
they have now, and have had for
several years, one common or un
ion passenger depot; that the
structure is not commensurate
with the business and revenue of
the defendant roads at that point.
and the depot building is notprop-
prely kept: that neither the con
venience, accommodation nor the
safety of the traveling public is
provided for:
llmt the deiiot now used in
common by the Kailway Compa
nies is a single story wood struct
ure, with one waiting room each.
for white and colored passengers,
2) x 12 feet, with a seating capaci
ty, each, for about sixteen per
sons; That the revenue of the Sea
board Air Line Railway, as stated
by it, for the year ending June
:i0th, 11MJ7, from freight is $50,
oG('; from passengers, $10,103.
'That the revenue ot the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany, as stated by it, for the same
period, from freight and passen
gers is $51,000.
Therefore it is the opinion of
the Commission that it is practica
ble and that the necessity of the case
requires the Seaboard Air Line
Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Companies to have
one common or union passenger
depot at Wadesboro, commensur
ate with the business and revenue
of said roads, and to unite in the
joint undertaking and cost of pro
viding and maintaining such sta
tion and on such terms as they
mav avree upon, and the same be
provided within ninety days.
"It is futhcr ordered that the
plan and s pecitications therefor be
submitted to the Commission be
fore work on the building is begun.
'This matter is retained for
futher direction.
When tho railroad's representa
tives were hero a few weeks ago.
they scnt considerable time at
the station looking around and
discussing the different sites where
the depot might be built.
Napo!ori' Arithmetic
Nunoleou used to make mistakes
in figures, absolute and positive as
arithmetic lias to be. He could hare
worked out the most complicated
mathematical problems, and yet he
could rarely total up a sum correct
ly'. It is fair to add that these er
rors were not always made without
intention. For example, in calcu
lating the number of men who were
to make up hi9 battalions, regiments
or divisions, he always used to in
crease the -sum total. One can hard
ly believe that in doing so he wanted
to deceive himself, but he often
thought it useful to exaggerate the
strengAi. of his armies. It was no
use pointing out any mistake of this
kind. He refused to admit it and
obstinately maintained his volun
tary, arithmetical error. Memoirs

not partaking of a general nature
of a general panic, nor having any
substantial basis, has nevertheless
caused much anxiety and there
has been more or less injury to
the country. For instance, the
South is at this moment suffering
in part from it in the depressed
price of cotton. ' J. P. Morgan
and other well known financial
giants, aided by the Secretary of
the Treasury, who agreed to put
enough cash in the New York
Imnks to sustinn the run on tliem
by depositors, have eased the situ
ation and no great amount of
futber trouble is expected. When
one bank was compelled to close
its doors as a result of the Iact of
confidence of its depositors because
its officers had failexl in stock gam
ble, the people who had money on
deposit, which money is known to
le used recklessly by many of the
banks, lost confidence ond began
taking out their money. If this lack
of confidence had spread over all
the country there vould have
been untold ruin. The strange
and unjust thing about it all is
that the country goes on forever,
living daily on the ragged edge of
jiossible ruin, because a few men
entrusted with large means may
see fit at any time to wreck every
thing in their pursuit of plunder.
There is no world-wide or natural
caue for a pnnic, .yet a few men
who never did and never will do
anything for the, real benefit of
the country, hold absolutely the
uower to ruin everybody, from
the largest capitalist to the ioor-
estday laborer.
What the rotten and unnatural
rule of the New York Cotton Ex
change does for the cotton indust
ry, a like rule by the members or
allies of the Stock Exchange sys
tem does for the" whole country.
The trouble with the country is
that the systems are rotten at the
core. Theecretary of the Treas
ury rushed pell mell to New York
with the public money to re
lieve the situation created by a;
morally, if not a legally, wrong
operation of a professional gam
ble, while the ilea of a Texas con
gressman for aid to Southern
banks t o finance the cotton
crop, unnatural depression of
which means the loss of untold
millions to the country if the
farmers are obliged to sell, is re
ceived by the Treasurer with only
a contemptuous sniff. We could
not exiect the government to take
up the proposition of the Texas
congressman, but it is as reason
able in principle as the aid to the
New York banks. There could
be no ranker paternalism than
either, yet Southern papers and
other leaders who tear their hair
at the buga.hoo of paternalism
when anti-child labor laws are
mentioned, see no harm in the an
nual junket of the Secretary of
the Treasury to Wall Street to re
lieve the situation which unlawful
gambling brings on. Some day
the people will sit straight up and
take notice.

Original
Benedict Laniont was a N'ew York
stock operator. "He didn't buy or sell
stocks for the reasons people usually
buy atad sell. lie bought aud sold
them because he was in with those
who put theiu up and put them down.
Mrs. Lamont was some tif teen years
younger than her husband, very pretty
and fond of admiration. She was also
fond of the stock market and would
occasionally bare taken a flier herself
had her husband permitted her.. lie
did not even Luforru her bow be op?rat
ed. Not having- confidence either in
her ability to keep a secret or to make
money tn stocks, he gave her no satis
faction whatever. This and the fact
that she was by nature a bit of a gam
bler greatly irritated her. Then, when
on one occasion tbe clique with whom
her husband operated was outgener
aled by another clique, to the disad
vantage of the former, and Lamont es
pecially, the wife miule up her mind
that she knew quite as much about
stockjobbing as he did.
About thin time came Lansing Van
Brunt, a member of the old Knicker
bocker society. Into which Mrs. La-
uiont was desirous of gaining a foot
hold. He, being desirous of 'gaining a
foothold tn Mrs. Lamont's affections,
humored her views on all subjects and.
perceiving a point in which he might
drive a. wedge between her and her
husban4, was not slow to take advan
tage of it. He told her that the only
way for any person not a manager of
the companies whose stock was oper
ated In was by a pointer, usually called
a tip. One day he announced to her
that he had received a tip on D. X. and
Q. common stock which Avas perfectly
reliable and advised her if she felt in
clined te speculate to buy some of it.
Her husband had ecently given her
$1,000 for the purchase f a diamond
brooch she desired to iosses, and
after hesitating some time between the
brooek aud er wish to show him that
she knew a thing or two she yielded to
Van Brunt's representations and put
her money in 100 shares of D. Y. and
Q. Van Brunt' really believed in the
reliability of his.informatlon and con
sidered the lady's chance of at least
doubling her money almost certain.
Lamont was aware of Van Brunt's
attentions to his wife; but, being a
man accustomed to work behind a
screen, he made no comment, leaving
his wife free to act for herself with
out admonitions from him. Van Brunt
knew very well that Laiuont was an
operator whose slightest word In refer
ence to the market would be consid
ered of great value. One day on enter
ing Lamont's private room at home he
saw lying on a desk a paper, ne did
not scruple to read it and found it an
order to Lamont's managing broker to
s-end out orders to buy various large
amounts of D. Y. and Q. common stock.
The envelope, addressed, was lying be-
siilc the order, the writer having evi
dently forgotten to take tueni w-xtn
him when he went out. Yau Brunt
left the room just as Lamont returned.
The latter took up the order and en
velope, went out and downtown. This
was the source of Van Brunt's infor
mation, though he did not reveal It to
Mrs. Lamont.
D. Y. and Q. common stock rose a
few points, and Van Brunt said to
Mrs. Lamont, "I told you so." Then It
sank a poiat, and he said, "Wait." He
w:m laughing in his sleeve that the bus
band sbeuld have given him the wedge
between himself and his wife. Then
the stock began to sink gradually, re
covering, fluttering like a bird unde
cided whether to fly to a higher or a
lower limb. Then there came a slump
iu the market, and Mrs. Lamont's in
vestment was wiped out.
If the lady had been in love with
Van Brunt, possibly the incident might
uot have turned her against him. Wo
men unless they love are not prone to
amiability toward persons through
whose instrumentality they make
losses. Mrs. Lamont had lost her
brooch, and she held Mr. Van Brunt
accountable. Had he been rich he
might have made it good to her, but
he was simply a society msm. not a
millionaire. Besides, he had lost heav
ily by his pointer himself. At any rate,
the lady dismissed hini from the posi
tion of her cavalier, and he was obliged
to seek other fields for conquest.
"What's become of Van Brunt?" ask
ed Lamout one evening. "I haven't
seen him around here for a week."
Now, Mrs. Lamont had mail a vow
that she would never reveal the secret
of her lost to her husband, but curios
ity had come in to render the keeping
of it very hard on her. She had ex
pected her husband would have been
much depressed on account of bis
losses in D. Y. and Q. stock. On the
contrary, he was chipper.
"Perhaps," said tiie wife for a feel
er, "he think3 you hav made lossen is
stocks lately and doesn't feel like see
ing any one."
"I lost in stocks? How did he get
that idea? I'v just made a pile of
money. . By the bye, my dear, have you
bought your brooch?"
Mrs. Lamont struggled for a time
against tears, but they overcame her.
Her husband took her in his arnys.
"Never mind, sweetheart. I suspect
ed Van Brunt was advising you and
left an" order on my desk" for him to
see, He waa no too honorable to read
and act on it, and I take it for granted
that you have lost your thousand dol
lars. I had sold out all or pearly all
(bVsteclC Tef erred to at: a great profit.
&ince I aoid .a- part of what was left
to" you anlTvau Brunt. I'll make your
loss- gobdJ cart get bis Ijss back
on another tip.",
Mr; Lamont got her brooch and left
speculation to her husband. 5-
