Sweet matter for lunatics
At this date only an escaped inmate of a lunatic asylum would suppose the country is in danger from a fiat currency. The real danger is that what remains will fade like Ingall's imaginary soap and imperceptible water, the Durham Globe notes.

North Carolina railroad lease sparks political storm
A long critique condemns the lease of the North Carolina railroad to the Southern Railroad Company as a corrupt, hastily arranged deal benefiting private interests.
