NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Things dune in Philadelphia re
cently for good government should
inspire men with more hope in the
future. The triumph of Mayor
Weaver in his fight against the
grafters is due in a large measure to
the inviucible pow,er of public
opinion.
There is in. the minds and
might say hearts of some a fanati
cistn in politics. It may be attributed
to a weakness in human nature, the
madness ot a wild prejudice; call it
what you may, it is the maduess of
prejudice which controls the im
pulses of some men.
There is Only alight eoat in enn
Td tiding the business of a building
and loan association and all the
profits which coir.e from interest or
otherwise are divided annuity annmg
ullshaie holders. A building ami
loan association does not, if prope
conducted undertake to make a profit
for any favored member, but all par
ticipate alike in earniugs and profits.
Togo, when asked to give a rule fir
attaining success, suid, "Get quick
and simple action." The shortest
rule or definition ever given and one
of the best. He demonstrated

We are no prophet nor the son of
one, but Jiark the prediction that
Marion Butler will take charge of the
new daily in Greensboro in which
Mr Millikan and others have stock.
He may not be the editor in, name
but be will mote than likely dictate
the policy of the new paper,' and will
do more he will take chargs of the
republican party in the state. That
party is badly in peed of generalship,
and no one knows it better than
Butler. He has made that discovery
aud is practically in command now.
We talk about laying up for a
rajny day. It is uot such an easy
matter for oue a ho has an extrava
gaut or large family. Attempt to
set aside a little each day aud how
dreary and some times dark the home
and how sad the poor overworked
mother and wife looks at times and
how dull the children who cry for
new clothes and little shoes. It is
easy to talk and advise but preach,
ing thrift and saving to the very poor
is like telling a man who is starving
that he should eat less. ' .
We ask the question simply, if
Asheboro to have any mail rural
delivery route leading out from the
town. It is not a matter in which
this paper has attempted to take
any stock not because we dontwant
the free delivery routes, but for the
simple reason that we have no in
flaenoe with the department through
the powers that be in these parts.
Of all the connties in the state this
has 'fared the worst, and there js no
town in the state, so for as we can
ascertain, as large as Asheboro and
having the progressive spirit of Ashe
boro that has not at least four or
rural routes leading oat from the
town and yet from Asheboro there is
not one route. A splendid monu
ment to. those who are responsible
for this condition of affairs.

the aftermath of the Post Office
Department seminal in "our midst,"
on account of the trial of several
more of the grafters, we are confront
ed with more of the nastiness that is
constantly coming to the front iu
this Republican administration of the
public affnirs of the United States.
There aeems to be nothing but grab,
graft and steal in this Republican
administration. It positively is get
ting to be so common hero chat it
excites no commeut when some men
comes to you and saya that something
new and rotten "in the state of Den
mark" has been unearthed. The
latest scandals that have come to the
light of day is the peculation of some
$50,000.00 from the Smithsonian
Institution by one of the trusted
employes, mm which the governmeu
will never recover because the study
does not cover the amount stolen; the
sale of examination papers in the
Marine' corps for vice; the sale of
examination papers iu the civil ser
vice and a lot, of other things that (Jo
not attract attention, because they
are too small in the face of bigger

pitrlv that has ever robbed them and
despoiled them of their dearest lier-
tnce. It theic is not something
done in that direction soon then the
good, conservative people of the
country will be amazed to find the
socialistic vute of the country in-
creasing to such proportions as to
become a menace to the existing in
stitutions of the country, for there is
an old saying that when things get
to a oertaiu rotten stage they meud
thenisulves.
In case that saying be true, then
it is high time that the conservative,
right thinking people of the country
come to their senses and put a stop
to this peculation, robbing and graft
by turning the raacals out of office.
Unless they do ao our government
will be swept from its moorings and
we will enter upon the unknown sea
of socialism to drift we know not
where. Now is the time to begin to
thiuk aud the next election is the
time to act, or forever after hold
your peace when it is evcrlustiugly
ion late.
The railroad rato regulation prob-
em and the refrigerator cur service
contention are still holding the'
boards here as matters of supreme
interest, since it seems that the Pre
sident has backed water on his in
tention to call the Congress in extra
session in October for the express
purpose of hjiving it legislate on
those vpry subjects. It is given out
now that: thorn will be no extra sea
sion before the election in November,
aud possibly not at all, as it is so
olose to the assembling of tho regular
first session of the olttli Uongress.
It seems that tho President, ia cool
ing off perceptibly in his hot pursuit
after the railroads, and that the In
terstate Commerce Commipsiou does
uot appear to be to insistent thut the
private oar line people be put under
their jurisdiction, since the testimony
before the Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce has been printed
and given to the public. Some of
that testimony, as shown in my prc
yious letters, has knocked the tar out
of the contention that the refrigera
tor car line people were robbing the
shippers and growers of fruit. The
farmers and fruit groweis are the
ptople most inteiesred in this mat
ter and what they 'have to say ought
to have moie weight with the people
and the Congressmen who have to
deal with this subject than tbe howls
of a lot of commission men, who,
tbroueh the operations of the refrig
erator car lines, are losing the op
portunity to get commissions both
ways and eaten the shipper aau ine
buyer like the nigger's coon trap, "a
coniin' and -a goin . 1 am for the
shipper and the grower every time as
again si we commission uien-nauui
trust, and 1 beliete all lairmiuuea
people are of the same way of think
ing. Tbe evidence then, of these
shippers and growers ought to be of
interest not alone to the people, but
to tbe men who make tbe laws, as an
laws are supposed to be made iu toe
interest of the whole people aim to
benefit the greater number of them.
The testimony of Mr B Travis, of
Chattanootra, Tenu. before the Senate
Committee will be of interest. He
testified that he was fruit grower,
peaches principally, in North
Georgia, and had about 200 acres in
trees aud that he was here to repre
sent the peach growers of his section
and produced his credentials. Sub
stantially be sid: "We want to say
that we are satisfied with4he Armour
car line people, and we feel like we
conld not get along and exist in th
fruit business without them, or some
thing else equally as good. Tbe peach
is something that has to be gathered
to-day, uot to-morrow. It ia some
thing that hat to have ice and

Valus ol Cuilding and Loan Associations.
The address mude by Mr Wittkow
sky before the Slate Leugtie of Build
ing and IjOuu Associations yesterday
wus an admirable presentation of
Ihe character of the local organiza
tions of which the league is com
posed. The address no doubt will be
very extensively read and it will do
gl'eutgood iu defining to the people
the value of the organizations, not
only as savings institutions, but as
organizations having a strong liillu
ence for the betterment of those who
are members. Besides puiuling ou
the practical advantages of being
member of a local building and loan
association, Mr Wittkowskv has
made it very clear that there lire ad
vantages such us the settlement of a
family in the home, and the inllueuce
ot home ownership uud other ad van t
ages which accrue with the.memb'T
ship. Betterments of these kinds
are of as much advantage as the
material benefits of accumulated sav'
ings. Few people appreciate the
magnitude to which the building and
loan associations have grown in the
aggregate. 1 he statement that the
aggregate value of building and loan
shares subscribed is second only to
thu uggregate capital of the national
bunks is a surprising one. The
value of building mid loan shares
subscribed in this city per capita
makes a very surprising revelation.
Without a statement made up from
the books, one would hardly think
that the citizens of Charlotte were
currying an average of 100 iu the
building aud loans for every man,
woman and child in the city, the
colored people included; or ot $75
ler cupitu tor those in the township,
t becomes evident from these figures
that the building and loan ussociu'
tions ure of immense value in teach
ng thrift and economy to the people.
The most wonderful resource of the
French and Belgian people is their
thrift und economy. Their habit of
regular savings by rrench working
people wus the one inllueuce which
saved Fniuee after the Franco
Prussian war. Here in Charlotte we
must be approaching the thrift und
economy of the French when welind
that there is un aggregate of $1(1(1
being paid into the building and
loan associations for every inhabitant
in Ihe city.
Mr Wittkowsky's address will do
much to make known tic material
benefits and the larger moral, intel
lectual und economic beiielits which
come from the building and loan as
sociations. Much of the success of
these iiis'itutions in Charlotte is title
to the time uud effort that this re
tired merchant has given to the ireu-
erul cause of building and loan as-
Hociations in this city, and in the
State. When he was in active busi
ness he made u very notable success;
now he is devoting a large amount of
his push, pluck anil A'rst'Verance to
forwurdlua the merest of these belief-
Cent institutions, and there would
seem to be none except altruistic
motives underlying the good work he
is doing. His speech was not onlv
excellent as un address, but it will
be, of advantage to those who read it,"
and will undoubtedly still further
forward the canst of the liiiildiii"
and loan associations. Charlotte
