TheAsksboroCojhier PBldla ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. May wkeut "fell" 5 cents on the bushel in one (lay last week due to 8,000,000 bushels of May wheat bciug damped on the market. The price of beef has jumped up gain. The increase in price is not Confined to anyone section. This famishes another reason why our people should raise more cattle. Ex-Senator Marion Butler, w ho floated to the top as the poor man's friend by decrying corporate wealth, lives in Washington in a lordly way. It U said he earned In fees in prac tice In the departments at Washing' ton last year f 123,000. It is now pretty well ascertained that out of door life, the moe the better both day and night, in the woods or nioaatains or any where al most, wit8 an abundanco of good fotd a cure of consumption can be effected in the early stages. The school commissioners of Lexington, says the Dispatch, are up against a serious proposition. There are 1,000 white school subjects with in the corporate limits of Lexington, and the building for whites is barely large enough to accommodate more than the present enrollment of 20. Manufacturing establishments not only help the manufacturer, but help every body in the community. Every person is helped by the establish ment of any enterprise giving em pleyuent to laborers in considerable numbers. North Carolina cun be developed as highly as Pennsylvania and Ohio. It can be done by better methods in farming and by niunu factoring oar raw materiul into the finished product. Capital is invest ed where it is encouraged. Wkert there are croakers, skeptics, cynics, growlers and grumblers, the best thing for any community is to ship them to the next town in a box car nailed up hard and fast. Dr O P Ambler, of Asheville, N O., read an important paper at the Atlanta Anti-Tnberculoais League last week, the subject being "The Physicians Permanent Duty to the Patient and Family in Tulorculo- sis." The convention by a iiniiiii mous vote authorized the pubheu tion of the paper as the sense of the lcsgnc: "I wish to place myself on record as advocating the best means of pre venting consumption is to discover the tubercnlosis disease in the pa. tient before the stage of consump tion, has been reached. Consump tive are persous dying with disease. Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease past generations have regarded it." At the conclusion of his paper, Dr Ambler presented the following points. First. Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease commonly believed. Second. Whilo communicable it can be made practically innocuous by the proper course on the part of me paucm. Third. Late diagnosis is caused by indifference on the part of the p;i tien to early symptoms and careless ness on tne part of tuc physician con suited. Fifth. By thorough, systematical instruction oi tne patient, better re- suits can be accomplished than by medication. Sixth. Instruction of patient, family and friends and close observ ance on their part of the rules laid down, will practically rob the dis ease of its method and means of ex tending. The proper thing for Asheboro to do is to keep up the interest in its graded schools. The phenomenal growth of the Ashebero Graded School tinder the present manage ment has been referred to in these columns more than once. The pres ent session will close on Tuesday of next week. Never in the history of the town has there been so successful year in the school as the past year. A large addition has been made to the school building, and all available space has been nsed. There is neces sity for still farther enlargement of the building unless a new school building is' erected. Unless another addition is made before the end of another year there will be crowded condition in almost every depart ment of tne school, wnil our manufacturing enterprise are worth much t the town, still there is no one enterprise worth to much to the town a the graded school. The last Legislator provided for an election to be called in the discre tion of the town commissioners at any time during the next twelve month, and submit to the people the question of issuing $10,000 in bonds for the purpose of erecting a Biodwrn up-to-date Graded School bnildioff. The school commissioners are anihonVd in their discretion te a pari op all of the' present Spencer, a town of something over 3,000 inhabitants will vote on May 16th $70,000, to secure graded schools, sewerage, paved streets, and for other purposes. The Davie Times calls attention to the fact that before the election our Republican brethren called atten tion to lo cent cotton. Now not a word is said in explanation of 7 1-'-! cent cotton and 10 cent eggs. " " . .. . ,1 Henderson in auee county voted $20,000 m bonds to build a graded school two weeks aco. Out of vote of 410 only 5 votes were t-a.it against the bonds. We hope Ashe boro will do us well when I he elec tion is held for $10,000 in bum!.-, to build a graded school bnilding fur Asheboro. A good public school insures a good education for the laboring man's children which they would" not otherwise Iget. Every working man should favor good schools and vole and work for local taxation to in crease the length of the school terms. We owe to our children the sacred duty to educate them; let us help lo give them the blessing which has been denied us, a good education to fit them for life. The Teacher's Assembly which meets at Greensboro on June l:ilh, l lth, 15th, and 10th, promises to be one of the most interesting events that has occurred in the State in many years. Dr W V .Steitson, State Superintendent of Maine, is to be one of the principal speakers. There are other speakers of National reputation who are to be present. The assembly is so close to us this year that every teacHer, school com mitteemen and every one interested in education should be able to atteii the sessions of the Assembly ;i Greensboro. The magistrates in Wumlo! county as well as in many oth countiis, we regret to say, have fnih to perform their dutv. In man townships there were no meeting the magistrates in the month o February. In many townships th have not gone ever the roads, ai none of them, as far as we know have issued any variants fipim over-seers for failure to keep up tl roads, or work them six days. Tl law is very strict upon the magistral in requiring the over-seers to i their duty. It is to be regretted thn the justices of the peace so far fail t do their duty, that they do not re fpiiro the over-seers to keep the road. in any better condition than they are. There is one road in Ashohoi township that a stranger came alon some ten days ago with a two hois wagon and a light load, and the roa was so bad that he hud to get lu-1 and prize his wagon out of the mini That road has .lot been worked ii two years by the owr-soer. Wouh it not bo well to shake up that over seer, and let him realize the fact that the law is made to be enforced, not to be ignored with irniuinih Shooting Affair in Stanly.

C, Free Th l.anee, wntit ot the ISuildiug and .ns in its town, says: Loan Associaii ' 1 he luaturin or a series or one of the building and loan associations of this city, announcement of which has been made, furnishes a signifi cant lesson in the value of small savings and their interest and profit maliing features. The subscribers to the stock of this series get $100 for each .S paid in, making a net profit of i 2 on each share. This is ar. average of ! per cent per an num in a perfectly safe investment An investor who had been paying $19 a month tinds himself possessed of f 1,01 hi in cold cash that he probably never would have had but for estab lishing the regular practice of sav ing. "There are four or five such as sociations in Spartanburg, all man aged by local people who are safe business men and the resalts are al ways good. Every man and many woiueu in Spartanburg should have some building and loan stock, if it isu t but one share, requiring the payment of one dollar a month. It pot only makes them save money, but establishes the habit of saving and puts the money saved to earning a good rate of interest as fast as paid in. ' "1 he building and loan associa tions have done a great work in the upbuildiusr of Snartanbunr bv fur nishing loans to erect dwellings and other houses and hundreds of neat and cosy homes ia this city were omit wun aiouej oorrowea on easy terms from the building and loan associations and repaid or in pro cess of repayment in small monthly installments.. The result is that with a monthly payment bat little, if any, in excess of what ia nsually paid for the rent f such a house the borrower soon becomes tne owner with clear title to a home, for which he never has to par rent. The bnilding and loan associations have done much for our oitiaensand there are no more popular institutions in Spartanburg. . . j ! his yard, Mr E J Steel was confined to bis roam last week with grip.

Dear Sin As administrator for estate of Hev. lieorge A. Ogloaby, beg to acknowledge receipt of settlement through Mr. Jobn C. lM-ewry, State Agent, Raleigh, N. C, for Mr. Oglcsby s claim against the Mutual Uenetit Lite Insur ance Company. Mr. Oglesby had three policies as follows-. One for one thousand dollars and on which was paid a post mortem dividend of 1.2-1; one for three thousand dollars on which was puid a post mortem dividend of $12.71 and one for twenty-live hundrod and on which wits paid a post mortem dividend of $1U.94. A total of $11,500 and a post mortem dividend of . 10.92. Annual dividends had been paid every year on theso policies, thercliy cheapening the cost el tins insurance. 1 ne dividends were large and the hnai settlement very soustactory. 1 heartily recommend Uie Mutual Heneut to aur one wishing good insurance. ety truly yours, ('Sinned) Frank Page. Mr Oglcsby met his death in an accident some time ago and the provision he had made for his family speaks in high praise for the num. The value of life insurance is demonstrated to us forcibly every dav, no one lieing i mime from premature death bt accidental natural causee aud in no way are our loved onea better provided tor tluui by lite in once in a good company. The Mutual Benefit, organized in 1845, having paid to policy heldeni since orgmuiia oon over two hundred and twenty million of dollars, declares its dividends every year, fnereliy furnishing insurance exactly at cost, writes policies containing special and peculiar advantages not combined in the policies of oruer oompamea. Before tsarina your orders for life" insur ance, it will pay you to get the Mutual Bene fits rates and guarantees, this can cost you very little trouble and the fact of oar having over five hundred thousand dollars in force in Randolph county should be evidence that there might be something in it. nnt tor plan giving age to any local agent in the county, or to c.
