There were 113 students last year, and the prospects for the coming year are still brighter. The Red Springs High School had 83 pupils. About 1,500 colored people had a union picnic here yesterday. They came from Fayetteviile and Maxton. Maxton won the baseball game by 15 to Fayette ville's 5. This is quite an educational and re- Hgious centre, and health aad pleasure resort. L. H.

Who would have supposed, bow, -that he used less water than any other city man, . Brooklyn, like New York, stands on an island, a bigger Island than Manhattan, and with more water around it. One would have supposed that water was- something of which Brooklyn had the most, especial-. ly as the Rev. L K. Funk, editor of the Voice, Uvea there. However, perhaps the Voice ha not been heard la Char lotte: It Is for prohibition. . WelL it has Just come to light that Brooklyn uses less "water per capita than any other -city. There are a great many factories In Brooklyn. : Ton can see their chim neys from the Brooklyn bridge.- These factories must use targe quantities of water, thousands of gallons per day. If there were fewer factories, -the- ease would look better for the Brooklyn man, for, in spite of the enormous quantities of water the factories use, they cannot bring up, the Average consumption of water per capitA to s figure equal te any other city's. Again, there are no prattler women In this State, if in the North, than, the Brooklyn women. Such fresh complexions, and such clear eyes. They look aa if they nave Just stepped out of the bath tub, and put on. dean otothes, and no doubt they have. It Is clear then, that afterthe factories and the women have had -what waiter they want, mighty little is left for the Brook lyn man. We have taken no note of the children, of which every. Brooklyn man has at least four. .'They must be washed, especially the babies. .The Brooklyn man would not think of tak ing the DADy carnage out on Bunoays. as is his custom after attending divine service., unless bis babies were proper ly washed.

BEECHER'S CAPACIOUS x-ATH ROOMS. Speaking of Brooklyn and bath tubs. reminds me of Henry Ward -Beecher and bis tub, ' - When I knew Henry Ward Beecher's house, it was a boarding bouse. The house was old-fashioned because It was large and had big rooms. Modern Brooklyn, as well as New York houses are small, in spite of their four stories, and have small rooms. A peculiarity of the Beecher honse was its wall pa per. Our landlady, being an admirer of Mr. Beecher, did not touch the wall paper. She liked to tell the guests that Mr. Beecher had selected it. It was peculiar because it was so sombre: but Its abundance of dark reds gave the house a warm, comfortable look in win ter. In summer It induced perspiration and then one felt the attractiveness of Mr. Beecher's bath room. Everybody has seen Mr. Beecher's endorsement of a certain brand of soap. He was a firm believer in the abundant use of soap and water, and he gave himself plenty of room wherein to use both. His bath room was probably the largest in Brooklyn. The great preacher could have prepared hia "sermons there had he desired to do so. for there was room enough for a writing table, an easy chair and many books. The owner of such a bath room-Just couldn't help putting on a clean shirt every day. It was an expensive thing, but it was such a pleasant, clean, airy sort of room, and so restful. Mr. Beecher used to get up in the night sometimes and take a bath there. He said It cured sleeplessness. ALL THIS IN ONE WEEK. This week public Interest has been divided between the Queen's Jubilee, the "Suburban" horse race, and the baseball games of the New Yorks vs. the Baltimore s. Every moment that the New Yorker can spare, he devotes to newspaper reading, but try as hard as he could, it has been impossible for him to read all that has been written about these three things. However, he has done the best thing he could and. though rather tired now, feels happy that he has learned something , about them all. And yet not one of them concerns his daily life in the least, and not one of them happened on Manhat tan Island. From all this reading, he has probably gained the most good from the accounts of the Jubilee. He has learned just what the Americans in London who saw the parade learned, that the vast British Empire is much more compact and solid than he sup posed; that the English people are pret ty well satisfied with their form of government; that it can't be because the British lion is afraid of the Ameri can eagle that he allows the noble bird to peck at him some times; that our grandest pageants have been small af fairs compared with this Jubilee demon stration; and that when it comes to handling a crowd, the London police ran give points to the "finest." In his report of the affair, Julian Ralph men tions one thing that Is especially note worthy, and that is that the police put the women of the crowd along the curb and made the men stand back against the houses. In New York, by dint of superior physical strength, the men would have taken possession of the curb and the women would have been Jam med and pushed against the houses un til they fainted and the police would not have interferred. In New York! masculine selfishness Is usually strong er than "chivalry." GAVE HIM THE STONY STARE. A case of New York's "chivalry" came. under my observation yesterday morn- ng. About :30 I boarded an express train of the elevated railroad at Eighty. nrst street. There were a few empty seats In the first car and the men on the platform made the usual mad rush for them. In a trice all the seats were full and some men were standing In the aisle. At the next station a girl got in and stood near the door. Nobody of fered her a seat. She was rather pret ty, but her lips were a little too thin. It was the last uptown stop for that express, and soon the train was shoot ing rapidly down the grades toward the Battery, its light cars swaying violently from side to side.- The men in the seats read their papers hard and the girls stood in the aisle, the only woman standing and almost the only woman in the car. Presently the train stopped, then crawl ed slowly forward a little way and stop. ped again. There it stood and waited and waited, and there stood the girl, too, and waited. Some of the men thrust their heads out of the windows to see what was the matter. After awhile the train started again, crawled us lengtn ana stopped, again. The girl still stood in the aisle. Her thin lips were pressed firmly together now, and close observer would nave seen that she saw getting mad.' Many minutes passed. . There was no telling when the train would get down town. The ele vated road people knew It would have to wait but sent it along the line Just the same, and let the business men and the wage earners get aboard without telling them. That is the elevated road's way and that Is why everybody bates it. well, at last, after he had read his paper as long as be wanted to and cursed the railroad some to himself, it seemed to occur to one man In the car that It would be chivalrous to offer that girl his seat. He looked at her two or three times, looked around at the other men to see if they wouldn't do it, and at last arose, touched bis hat and made the offer. The girl gave him a cold, bard stare, and her thin lips moved. No. i thank you." - she said - curtly. The man's face flushed and be sat down again, crushing, aa he did so. the straw hat of a young fellow in the seat be side him who had seised that oppor tunft to lay his hat aside and look out of the window. The young fellow glared fiercetv at the ' chivaJmim mm. -artm apologised feebly, opened bis newspaper wioe ana proceeaea to read it all over again. Presently one by one the man began to leave the ear and walk alons: the track jo the next station, and. then there were empty seats in plenty.1 But there that girl stood. Nothing could have induced her- to take one of these seats. . , : DAVID T. DUNCAN. . Cel. Andrews Piaaideaifc, BaleighSews and Observer. i - :.i ; Col A. B.

Were reported: at:; About the same time in Greece.; I nave a let ter of a prior date from, a well Inform ed arentlenuus residing at the Peiopo- nessus. stating that there bad been no us uai rain fall throughout the Morea. These three statements haver a peculiar significance and a concurrent interest when linked with ; strange phenom enon known Only to few , people and which Is worthy the attention of- the scientists ef the world. On the island of Cephalonia, off the western coast of Greece, ia a anil whose wheels are pro pelled by a powerful current that flows inward from ( the Ionian r sea And seems to empty Itself Into A fathomless cavern under the Island. When rains are heavy ,: the force of this mysterious current is increased and about the same time Greece n disturbed by seismic convulsions of more or less vio lence. Observing peasants have long made a note of this, and they have for centuries connected this current with earthquakes and with Vesuvius. They think the termination of this water power is underground, near the base of Italv's constantly smokins volcano. They claim tot have noticed thAt when this current is at its highest tide And mightiest velocity, Greece shakes more nreceDttblv and Vesuvius sends out more smoke and . burning lava. They say they-have watched It for genera tions and that the portent never fails. Not far from this Greek grist mill, run by this island current. Is A strip of land on which rests a large piece of granite balsams that stand there like grim sen na a solid rock for the rest of the day. While the split Is perceptible a knife or bar of iron can be inserted in the gap ing crevice. When, the slit closes a Her cules could not pull it out. It is more firmly held In this supernatural vise than was the sword of Wotan in the Oak of the iVoisungs. What causes this phenomenon so near this other freak of nature ought to be inquired Into bv scientists. I am ready to swer any questions as to facts or to go witb a party of earnest scientific workers and 'show them the actual ex istence of the phenomena recorded above. My address can be had from the editor of this paper. From the standpoint of common sense which is most closely allied to that of the high est scientific culture it is remarkable to conclude 'that an Investigation of these curious occurrences would throw aew light on! the causes of earthquakes and perhaps unfold something new about the rotary motion of our planet What sways the ever moving rock on the shelving shore of the distant island of the- Ionian see.? Or, is the crust of the earth so thin there that the ebb and flow of the tides, in what poets have called a "tideless sea," cause the very surface of the island to rise and fall with diurnal regularity? I know of nothing so peculiar in all the realm Of nature, and perhaps a careful In vestigation could establish some theory from the happenings on this far off island in the blue waters of 'the Levant which would make him immortal. Some years ago, when this current ran inward with fierce velocity, Zante was shaken with the severest earth auake she has known for centuries, and the homes throughout the valleys of the fertile Morea were shattered to their foundations. The monks fled from rock-ribbed Megaspeleon because of in ternal rumblings, and the long extinct crater of mighty Erymanthos omitted smoke for the first time since the myth ical days of the Caledonian boar hunt. There is a similar phenomenon which exists in America that sustains the the ory of a leak hi the earth's surface as the cause of earthquakes. It will be remembered that about fifteen years ago. Bald mountain, a rugged peak of the Appalachian chain in western North Carolina, split nearly in two, emitted much steam and ' smoke from the crevice and made so much noise that the mountaineers left their iiomes on its sides and in its valleys. After the disturbance had partly subsided, an adventurous young-, mountaineer and hunter, James Logan, a son of the late Judge Logan of Ku Klux fame, under took to make an Investigation of the mountain, at the base of whose hith erto quiet and sylvan shades he had been bom and bred. Accompanied by a friend he spent the day on "Old Bal dy's" barren eastern slope, poking his rifle into rents in the rocks and explor ing the familiar caves as far as he could. He unexpectedly found a new ly-made entrance to a long, dark, cav ern, -into which he could enter only on his all fours. Pushing his rifle along as a precaution against wild beasts be went in, followed by his companion. As they advanced the aperture grew larger and lighter. Finally sunshine streamed down through the rift the earthquake bad made in the mountain, and he and ms companion stood erect in a colossal and marvellously beautiful apartment of glistening rock. No human being had ever been there before, but many have since visited the place: Standing In this underground amphitheatre Jas. Logan and all who have since followed him through the narrow opening, have heard a mighty roar of falling water dashing over, presumably, a bed of rocks, for now and then a vast stone seems to become loosened .and is borne onward over ledges of granite down. down, down, until ""the sound becomes faint as an echo coming back from the very bowels of the earth. Not far from the base of this Bald mountain, with its uncanny cave and other peculiar characteristics, Is Broad riw, fed by waterfalls of Immense height and mountain streams that swell to rivers hen the snow melts or heavy rains tali. Alone; the channel of the - Broad are three whirlpools whose bottoms no line has ever yet reached. Five years ago, James Logan climbed with me to the high hill that overlooks these three whirlpools and told me that he and others had tried their best to find a bottom, but could not. There is some thing more Awful in these swirling pools of darksome water, as they spin around In artistic circular basing ' of time-chiseled brown stone, under: the shadow of the primeval oaks or scented balsams that stand there like grim sen tinels to guard their mysterious secrets than in Niagara's larger whirlpool. The silence of the forest Intensifies the noise of these three maelstroms. No railroad has penetrated that mountain region. It is seventeen miles across the hills from George Vanderbilt's castle, near Asheville, and the time will soon come when the stir of the busy -world will lessen the effect Of the terrible music of the- , roaring . waters.

New York, June 26. The llfew York Financier says this week: The state ment of the associated bankfi of New York city for the week ending! June 26th is favorable. In so far as the jpansion in loans Is concerned, but: dfispite the drain of. cash to Europe, anil the -em ployment of funds in other 'directions idle money is still accumulating in New York. The total surplus caffa is now Close to $50,000,009, an increase of about $4,000,000 in the last month. Within the same time loans have expanded no less than $17,000,000. while deposits have in creased nearly $15,090,000. Thli Is an ex- iraoroioary movement.- itum: mere is some relief ia store for thisjicongeated condition tne statement cieiny mat cotes. Of the increase of $i:,310.8OO ha loans reported, the gain waV. made by no- less tnan nrty to stxty-mx raniu, and deposit increases were evenly dis tributed. Two of the banks, the West ern National and the Fourth; National, appear to have been responsible for one-half the increase in loans, but the remainder has gone unlformjy to swell tne totals or otner Danas. i; An encouraging feature of it he situa tion, 'not shown in the statement Is the fact that the banks are dolnir a largely inc. eased business in commefc'al paper. canvass of some of the institutions shewing, that the greater part of their new loans were of this chatacter. Re discounts are also reported by many of the banks in larger volume, sand prep arations or'? being made fair a heavy demand in anticipation of the excoll-nt crops. Nothing but unfavorable weather has delayed this tip t? tne present. As was pointed olat in thfs analysis last week, loans are approach ing a record-breaking feature and bid fair before fall, to exceed anything ever known in the hfstorv of ti e dearine house. The money now flowing to New, xotk is saia to oe irom x e largest banking centres, rather than from smaller places.

The large spot sale In Liverpool and the good spot demand here have con tinued and there has been no change in the cheerfulness of the general bus iness outlook during this week, yet the mttnn market has almost exactly re versed its course of the week previous," and the . great . Improvement m crop prospects then Ignored has outweign ed as an Influence upon te market, these factors which were the all-im portant contributors to - the advance. The healthy aspect of the market was still present early In the week, but the government's splendid crop bulletin of last Tuesday followed by the weakness nt TJvM-nnol when that market re opened after the Jubilee holidays, took ail heart out or tne ouiis. ana prara have surely but slowly receoed- To-day the market was very uuu. Liverpool was steady and unchanged. The Chronicle's report on the crop was srnmL but some complaints or too ary weather were noted. Our market opened three to five points higher. Good rains were reported to the dry section ana prices eased again. August opened at 7.27. advanced to 7.28, declined to 7.23 and closed at 7.23 to 7.24, with, the tone of the market steady. The trading during the week has oeen very light and largely local. In spite of this and the loss in values, the bullish sentiment here continues . unaltered. The fear of a repetition or last session s drought is ever present to deter short selling. The lesson taught to those-who sold the market on magnificent June prospects by the great rise last sum mer, ia not easily forgotten. The ex ceeding slimness and rapid dimunition on stocks everywhere, the certainty that no fresh supplies of moment can he received at earlv dates and the pos sibility of crop scares or real crop dam age, coupled with the reasonable prices at which cotton is now selling, all tend to make bull ventures most attractive. Many converts to this way of thinking have been made. But the cold fact is present that with a fair season tne South will make a monster crop of cot ton. There Ts no general speculation to help the market up. The reports now being received from the fields are- as favorable as can be, and we think that If the nroanects continue' it will, for the present at least, prove profitable to. sell the market on gooa bulges.
