day, and Cross and White will be
tried for forgery next week, or
soon as possible. John
the colored janitor of the bunk,
who accompanied Messrs Cross and
White to Canada, returned to
Friday evening and bad quite
an interesting tale to tell. He
left Haleigh to accompany them
to Chapel and was very much
surprised badly frightened as
the party traveled on and
without stopping. After reach-
Canada and being told the
reason for the conduct of the bank
officials, he declared his intention
of returning to Raleigh, and was
given the money with which to do
so. There are several bills for for-
against both Cross and White
and it is more than likely that
they will be convicted and sen-

A Big Steal.
Failure of the State National Bank.
On Wednesday morning of last
week it was rumored on the
streets here that the State Nation-
of had closed its
doors, owing to the fact that the
president and cashier had abscond-
ed with a large amount of the funds
belonging to the directors and de-
Nothing definite
known the mail came in, and
then the rumors were confirmed,
and it was known that the bank
had collapsed and that Mr. C. E.
Cross, its and Mr. S. C.
White, the Cashier, had pocketed
nearly the funds belonging to
the bank and left tor parts
known. Connecting reports as to
the amount taken by Messrs Cross
and White, were circulation,
but it was known to be large, and
the bank is completely wrecked.
There is considerable excitement
in various parts of the
over it, in the failure
and defalcation came like a
from a clear sky. Both
the officials were held
in high esteem in Raleigh, were
members of churches, and had ex-
reputations. There ate
quite a number people who are
losers by the failure, but e are
glad to that no one suffers a
heavy loss. Bank Examiner,
S. Tate, who was sent on
from Washington to take charge
of the affairs of the bank,
the depositors will he paid at least
it per cent of their and ,
possibly as much as per
The principal loser is Mrs. J. G. j

founder and president the j
bank. Capt. E. R. Stomps and j
Mr. W. S. Primrose also lose quite j
largely. Mr. White the
ding Cashier, was the brother j
Mrs. Williams, and had been an j
of the bank ever since j
it was first established, and Mr.
Cross, who was elected president
about two years ago, was her son-
u-law, and this robbery of one's
relatives makes the offense
all the more reprehensible. The
latent from the bank is that the
defalcation will not amount to
more than which is not
near so much as was at first sup-
posed. It was rumored on the
streets that Cross and
White had been arrested in
on a charge of forgery and
would be back to Raleigh
but its has not fully
established. If it is possible, we
hope they will both be
punished. It appears that
these officers had been concocting
their plans for robbery for several
months. They did not intend
leaving so soon, but a meeting of
the board directors had been
called for last Monday, which

ill consequences by the failure.

Death of a Prominent Editor.
Hon. William
tor and publisher of the New
York Star, died of pneumonia at
Savannah, Ga., last week. Mr.
left his borne in New
York on Friday before the great
blizzard, intending to go to Flori-
for his health, but was unable
he died after a very brief illness.
Mr. was born of Ger-
man parents at Lyons, N. Y., on
the 5th day of 1832, and
was a little over years old at
the time of his death. His life
was spent principally at Buffalo,
where he practiced law, and was
intimately associated with
dent Cleveland, for whom he had
a warm friendship, and by whom
he was highly esteemed, lie was
a man of fine intellect, of good ed-
possessed of large means
and sterling integrity, and had the
and confidence of ail class-
es of people. In early life he was
a Republican, but becoming con-
of the fallacies of that par-
he allied himself to the Demo-
in 1872. since which time he
took an active interest in the
of that party, to which he
contributed largely of his money
and talents Mr.
a born leader, possessing those at
tributes of character that make a
man respected and looked up to,
and his advice was often sought
the counsels. He held public
office for some years, being twice
elected Lieutenant Governor of
New York, once to Congress, and
serving a short while us U. S. Dis-
Attorney for the Western
district of New York. He could
have held other position he
desired, but declined further hon-
ors. While essentially a busy, ac-
man, having his hands always
full of work, Mr.
found some time to devote to lit-
pursuits, for which ho had a
great and which
he gained much reputation In
1885 he became editor of the New
Star, which position he
to the day of his death.
As an editor he was fearless and
out spoken and made the the
most reliable Democratic
in New York. He was always
found on the side of the people
and opposed to the monopolist and
unjust burdens that are being
heaped upon the country. As
a lawyer, politician public officer,
literary man, editor and private
citizen Mr. was a
and discharged faithfully
and well every duty devolving
upon him. A life of usefulness
and activity has been brought to
a close, and a safe leader has gone
to his rest. His in New
York politics cannot be easily fill-
ed, and the whole country will
sutler tor his wise counsel. Peace
to his ashes.

While the South has been very
fortunate and escaped the severe
blizzards and snow storms that
have recently swept over the
North, still we have had our mis-
fortunes, the recent very heavy
rains having and de-
freshets in many sections
of our fair land. In Alabama and
Georgia there has been an exceed-
large rainfall and all the riv-
and creeks are flooded. There
is much damage to crops and prop-
In North Carolina, too,
there has been a great deal of
rain and our rivers are swollen.
True our crops are not injured,
because they are not yet planted,
but the rains have retarded farm
work and thrown everything far
behind. One of the best farmers
in Pitt county told us Sunday that
he had done less work on his farm
this year, and was further behind,
than he had ever been before at
this season of the year. The sun

Washington, D C, Mar.
Who is to succeed Chief Justice
Waite P That's what every body
wants to know and hat Mr.
Cleveland alone the power to
decide. It is, owing to the pres-
peculiar status of the as-
Justices of tho Supreme
Court, the most important single
question that any
dent had to decide.
On more than one important
question which is likely to come
before the Court for action the
Justices are known to be evenly
divided, which practically gives
Mr. Cleveland an opportunity to
make the decisions himself by
a man for the position who
thinks as he does.
Many men in different sections
of the country have been
mentioned for this honor ; it
has even bean suggested that Sir.
Cleveland should resign, and that
Secretary Bayard, who would
him as President, should
point Mr. Cleveland Chief Justice.
This arrangement would be an ad-
one were it not for the
fact that the people the
try seem to have made up their
minds that Mr. Cleveland's

House four years longer from the
fourth of March next.

Post master-General Dickinson or
Speaker will be made

the country may safely trust the
whole matter to Mr. Cleveland
lie will take his own time and
the best man tor the
place. He has made no serious
mistakes in his important appoint-
up to this and is not
likely to break his record now, on
the eve of his reelection.

Telling Men Their Sins.
Sanford Express.
It takes a strong and courage-
man to openly and without
hesitation, cast a stone at men in
high places for their sins. It is a
duty that many editors and teach
fear to undertake. It is easy
enough to cast a stone at the man
in the mire. Most people enjoy
this work. It requires no grit, no
moral courage, no essence of true
manhood, but when the King does
wrong tho scribes and teachers
keep silent, so that the
may continue to worship the
King. Is that not true Is it
not so in every community How
many editors in North Carolina
have held their pencils back when
their eyes beheld men in
high places, committing blunders
and depredations against the
fare of society How many
tors have looked at the telling of
t rut I from the standing point of
getting bread P It is a
fact that much high handed
meanness is because
there is not moral character
enough to expose it and make it
odious- Many a scribe will reap
his ill reward, much from
what he writes but from what he
tails to write with the light be-
fore man.
The crying want of the times is
men that will tell the truth, that
will stab the wrong and sin that
flourish in the robes of State and
Church, that is hidden by the frock
of a clergyman, by the ermine of a
judge, by the toga of a statesman,
by the assets of a banker and
man.

blessings of joy and gladness that
follow. A day of dark clouds with
torrents of rain, makes the
all the brighter the sun
shines again. Let us then thank
God for every cloudy day, for every
grief, for every trial ; remember-
that He sends them but to
strengthen us and prepare our
hearts for still deeper gratitude
when the clouds are rolled away
and we bask in the glorious sun-
light of peace and happiness.

Cotton Milling in the South.
Wilmington Star.
Some years back, as, many
our readers will remember, we
wrote many editorials upon cotton
milling in the South, in which we
sought to show how superior were
the advantages in the South over
the North. An appeal to our
files would reveal the fact that
through several years we assayed
to prove from facts and evidences
collated, that the true way for
success was to carry the mills to
the cotton, and thus completely
reverse the old plan of operating.
We showed how much cheaper it
would be to manufacture the cot
ton at home, and gave statistics
drawn from both Old and New
England to point our discussion
and to complete contrasts.
Latterly we have said but little
in this on. We have seen
that there was a rapid multiply-
of Southern factories and a
genuine in some localities.
These we have noted from time
to time.
Years ago Mew England maim
and economists were
quite blind as to facts and refused
to believe that the South really
offered any peculiar advantages
for mining and milling. But all
this is passed, and there
danger that the advantages off-
by the South may be
and that possibly cotton mil-
ling may be overdone. The
of showed there were
cotton mills in the South,
with spindles,
looms. It is now ascertained that
there were in operation last year
mills, with spindles
and looms.
In 1880, the total bales
were or pounds.
In 1887, there were bale-
consumed, of pounds.
These estimate are for the year
ending with last July. Since
then there has been much activity
in increasing the number of cot-
ton mills. The New York
Chronicle 17th inst., places
the number of factories already
built at with either pro-
or building, making a total
of If this is not exaggerated,
it shows very wonderful increase

the evil which yon mention, as it

attribute this not alone to good

Failure on the part of the grain
to attain a proper growth,
skips and all other evidences of
imperfect development are
to partial communication be-

which communication is generally
brought about by currents off wind

are often withheld to the great
detriment of the growing crop
The remedy is to go through the
field corn when the and

bending the stalks of
adjoining rows dust the pollen
one tassel upon the silk of the op-
stalk, or in any manner
which may appear most
to bring about the desired
communication. I consider a day's

worth five work at other

As the winter has not been over
severe, it is likely that the cut-
worm will be troublesome this
year so it may be well to take the
advice of the Observer,
which says
The berry of the China tree is
a preventive of the destruction of
young and collard plants
the cut-worm in the spring.
The method of using the berry is
to insert one of them in the earth
by the side of the plant, at the
transplanting. The cutworm,
which is such a pest to the
garden will not come near
enough to the berry to reach the
plant. This is the experience of
one who has repeatedly tried it.

We copy a part an editorial
from the New York Times con-
North Carolina and other
Southern States. We did not
see the letter it refers to, but the
editorial copied else-
where show what was the purport
of the letter. In some respects
the Raleigh writer is correct.
The John Sher-
mans, not only will solidify the
South, bin already done so. It
is too late now to try to placate
the white men of the South after
the recent displays of the leading
Republican politicians, the bitter
deliverances of the Republican
press, and the foolish, vengeful
action of some of the Grand Ar-
my of the Republic Posts in their
to the Southern
and to the Democratic
dent. Enough has been said and
done to show that so far as the
Republicans are concerned their
professions amity and justice
and reconciliation are all
gated bosh. The Republicans all
through the North are the
inveterate haters the
Southern people. The
can press in the North is always
just, unfair and vindictive to-
wards the Southern whites. Lies,
slanders, insinuations, are the
chief things which Northern Re
