"1 Nat an awful good account once
because I couldn't convince a woman
that a note put In the bank for collec

Bay, made out a deposit slip and tried
ta depoett a note Juat due. Tha taller
toM h«r that he would forward It for
collection. That seemed to atrlka bar
aa all right, and ahe kept on writing
chscki «gainst bar account.
"She overdrew In-a day or two and
we aeat her notice. She came .down In
a towering rage and asked me what
my bank meant by Insulting her. Over
drawn? Ridiculous! Why* ahe bad
depoaltad $3,000 only a few daya ago.
What had we done with that money I
T tried to explain to ber that the
"day oeir ahe referred to waa only a
aete aaat out for collection; that It had
■at bean paid and might be returned
■•paid. She flew Into a paaalon. What
did Aa care about It? She had given
It Into the bank, and aba meant to have
the money on It
-What were banka for? I cautioned
bar agalnat checking against the
amount of the note until it had been
paid, but ahe went away In a huff and
kept right on making checks until we
had to atop ber. We refused her
cbocka, marking them 'No funds,' and
then aha withdrew bar account. It
toned out to be a dandy afterward,
but ta tbia day. I understand, ahe can't
aee any difference between notes,
checks, drafts and currency.
"Strange aa It may seem, the number
of women honest, abeolutely guileleae
women—who write other persons' slg
naturea to checks la large. Only to
day, for inatance, the daughter of one
ef our beat cnatomera came Into die
bank with a check for SOOO made pay
able to beraalf.
"Her father's name waa algned to It,
and be had plenty of money In the
bank, but hia daughter had algned bla
name herself. We explained to ber
that we couldn't pay out money on
each aa order or requeet

"That young woman did not and
could not understand why ahe didn't
have aa much right to use ber fatber'a
credit at the bank aa ahe had to use
It at tha dry gooda stores and the
butcher abope. I wanted to tell ber
that abe bad really committed forgery,
hot I didn't I advanced tha' money
en my personal account, and abe went
away a bit miffed and fancying that
wa were a fuaay, unreasonable lot of
money gatherera.
"Things like that are alwaya coining
up In every bank. We had oue depos
1 tor, an Inexperienced youug widow.
She had ever SIIO,OOO In the bank. Oue
day abe came la and wrote a check for
the full balance, payable to beraelf.
The teller stared and asked bow abe'd
have It Any way would auit ber, ahe
aald. only ahe wanted the caah.
"He sent word to me and began to
count out the money In (100 and (000
notee. After counting them over abe
wrapped the whole sum up In a news
paper and went out. We were all pu«-
aled. and we were afraid abe might
be robbed, aw I aent two of the clerks
after her to aae what abe did with the
money aa well aa to protect ber. She
walked through the crowded streets
about all blocks to another bank and
deposited tha whole 980,000 to the cred
it of a poor young lawyer to whom,
wa afterward learned, abe waa en
gaged to be married.
"I don't think be waa then aware of

Instead of lagging ber fortune through

"Exactly so," aaid the superintend
ent, "and there are a great many like
you. They exhibit the greateat affec

minute orders as to how It ahall ba

"I have known people wbo had their

He would each day place a bunch of

"I was asking for facta," said the re

"You are getting them," replied the

"I think that the sentlineut Is a beau

"I have also knowu people," resumed

Joe Jefferson Dead.
Joseph Jefferson, the veteran ac
tor, died at his home. "The Reefs,"
at Palm Beach. Fla., early Sunday
morning. April 23. Speaking of
his career the Raleigh News and
Ol>server says :
" 'How soon we are forgot.'
What m;in is there, who liennl the
creator of Rip Van Winkle utter
these words upon his return to his
native village after his long sleep,
can forget the pathos of that scene!
"The world was prepared for the
death of Joe Jefferson, the famous
veteran actor, though his strong
vitality gave hope that he would
survive the attack. No actor has
been more generally beloved than
Mr. Jefferson. He belonged to the
great men who have made the
stage an instructor and a delight to
his generation. As a man he took
a man's part in public affairs and
his influence was broader than his
calling. He stood for the eleva
tion of his profession and showed
that the stage had a great part
to perform in the education and
amusement of the people, 'for the
|>eople must l»e amused' as well as
instructed. The man whose genius
created the lovely character of Rip
Van Winkle was a benefactor to
his race, filling many an hour with
cheer and happiuess, driving away
dull care, and making men's lives
sweeter and brighter. Many men
and women, recalling the pleasure
he had put into their lives, follow
ed his illness with deep solicitude,
and felt to say to him, May you
live long and prosper '
"Joseph leffersoti was born in
Philadelphia February 20, 1829.
He was literally a child of the»tage,
his father, Joseph J. Jefferson, and
his mother, having been actors.
His father died when he was a
mere boy and he joined a company
that traveled thrvugb Ttxas and
Mexico in days when the pay of
th^actor was poor and uncertain.
He found no easy road to success,
rising slowly from the baby in arms
to the king of the players. But lie
won distinction through a loug
term of hard work. His first real
success-was in Nt-w York when he
played the part of Asa Tiencliard
in 'Our Amarican Cousin' in Latlra
Keene's theatre for 150 successive
nights. Subseipii-ntly he played
the parts of Newman Noggs, in
'Nicholas Nickleby'; Caleb Pluni
tner. in "Cricket 011 the Hearth';
Doctor Pangloss and others, and
more especially in the name part of
'.Rip Van Winkle,' which he play
ed in every city of imi>ortancte in
the United States, and in which lie
is best known.
"For some years Mr. Jefferson's
health has been failing and he bad
retired from the stage. He owned
a hpme in Florida where he de
lighted to eutertain his friends—
and 110 man in America had more
friends—and to spend bis leisure in
fishing and hunting.

Tobacco Quotations.
Tlie following are extracts from
a letter from Mess. Dibrell Bros,
published in the Southern Tolwcco
Journal of April 17:
About this season every year on
the eve of planting time tobacco
people leootne very much interest
ed in knowing what proportion of
the crop remains in farmers' hands,
the available stock held by dealers
and the probable planting. We
estimate the size of the 1904 crop
to be between 175 and 300 million
pounds, or about 35 per cent, short
of that of 1903 crop. If the an
nual consumption of bright tobacco
is 240 to 250 million pounds, as is
generally conceded, the 1904 crop
will run something like fifty mil
lion pounds short.
The South Carolina crop was all
sold more than sixty days ago; the
Eastern North Carolina crop is
now practically all sold, and about
15 per cent, of the crop in first
hands in the old belt. It is a fact
that there now is an unusually
small stock iti the bands of the
dealers, and it would appear that
the prospects are that prices will
more than probably advance.
We quote Common Fillers. —In
better supply, hut still not equal to
the demand. We quote them at 6
to cents. They are being
bought nearly entirely for domestic
consumption. Very few semi
b'rights arc being taken for export.
Medium Fillers. —In abundant
supply and selling at to 9#
cents. They are being largely
bought for export by the large cor
porations, and the old belt district
kinds for domestic accounts. There
has been very little change in
prices on llicse recently and they
are considered reasonable.
Good to Fine Fillers. —-By no
means abundant. Demand is good
for Canadian, exi>ort and domestic
use, and selling at y'/j to 12 l /i cents.
Common Wrappers—Fairly good
supply, but uot so abundant as
heretofore. Prices stiffer and sell
ing at 10 to 15 cents.
Medium Wrappers.—Scarcer and
higher at 15 to 25 cents.
Good to Fine Wrappers.—The
proportion scarcer in the breaks
than at any time this year, and
higher in price than at any time
this year, selling at 25 to 40 and
45 cents. Demand good, mainly
for manufacturers' accounts.
Bright Export Leaf. —-There is
very little of this gra le on the mar
ket, and the offerings grow per
ceptibly less. There is very little
interest manifested in this class on
the part of dealers. The offerings
have been taken mainly by the
large British manufacturers at
prices that are regarded as low
compared with those prevailing in
the early part of the season. We
quote common at 8 to 10 cents;
medium, 10 to 13 cents; good to
fine, 13 to 20 cents.
Cigarette Cutters. —Common to
medium cutters and smokers at 8
to 11 cents are being taken for
several domestic accounts besides
the big cigarette companies and
the old l>elt goods of this grade are
active and steady in price. Medi
um to good are selling at n to 15
cents, and good to fine at 15 to 18
cents.

Bee's Laxative Honey aud Tar.
This Cough Syrup is different from
all others because it acts on the
bowels. Vou can not cure Croup
and Whooping Cough until you
rid the system of all congestion, by
working on the cold through a
copious action of the bowels. Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar does this,
and cures all Coughs, Croup,
Whooping-Cough, etc. No opiates.

"Talk is cheap." "Itisevident
you never had a lawyer lo talk to
you."—Boston Traveler.
It is difficult to cure a cough or
free yourself fron the discomforts
of a cold unless you move the
bowels. Bee's Laxative Honey
and Tar acts on the bowels and
drives all cold out of the system.
Then comes its soothing effect and
strengthening influence upon the
throat and lungs. For Croup.
Whooping cough, Colds, and all
Lung and Bronchial affections, no
remedy is equal to the original
Laxative Honey and Tar.
