Still we grow and there is good reason for
our steady and satisfactory growth. The fact
that we have not only beid our business, hut
practically doubled it with all competition, indi
cates that the public mind has not lost sight of
the essential requirements that make a bank
sound and safe. The principles of conservative
banking that have governed our development in
the past will shape our future policy.

The chief result of experience Is clearness of view In dis
cerning the fertile soil on whioh to plant that part of today’s
harvest set aside for tomorrow’s betterment.
The wise planting of pennies and dollars In a savings ao
count where the growth is certain, is making a virtue, or
necessity.
Planting therefore becomes not merely an eoonomio vir

Building In North — Part of
#500,000 Appropriations by
the Government.
The $40,000 plum for-expert
mental road building in North
Caroline, long forecasted for this
State, is now a reality. Says ft
Washington dispatch of the 2nd
of May:
Senator Simmons, Secretary
Houston and Secretary*Burleson
reached an agreenfent today
whereby the States in the Union
have beeh divided into eight
groups, each group comprising
States of familar physical char
acteristics. One State in each
of these eight groups has been
selected fjpveiperimental road
work provided for in Senator
Simmons’ $500,000 appropriation
bill, which was incorporated in
the postoffice appropriation bill
last year.
North Carolina receives the
$40,000 allotted the South At
lantic group of States- The
money is available just as soon
as Governor Craig decides what
road is to be constructed under
the plan. * -Cs
Whatever amount the Federal
government spends on the road
must be doubled by the locality
in which the road is built, on a
basis of one third and two-thirds.
The road will be built under the
direction of the division of public
roads, Department of Agricul
ture.
senator Simmons expresses
the hope today that Governor
Craig instead of building one
road of twenty-live to forty miles
In length arrange for the con
struction of two roads, one in the
east and the other in the west
The more speedily the road is
completed, the better Senator
Simmons will be in apposition to
enlarge the plan
The Senator hopes to*sbow
Congress at its next session that
the plan justifies more than a
half million dollar appropriation
Secretary of State Bryan con
cluded his mission to the Gov
ernor rfnd Legislature of Cali
fornia Saturday afternoon with
i message of farewell. To an
3pen joint session of the two
couses, attended by the Gov
ernor, he gave renewed assur
ance of the friendly interest and
:o operative attitude of the
National Administration toward
she peculiar problems of Oali
Eornia, transmitting the Presi
ient’s latest criticism of the
alien land act passed last Fri
iay night by the State Senate
and rehearing again those ob
iections already made public,
in reply, Senator Gates, speak
ng for thj State, said:
“This Legislature appreciates
the honor which has been done
to this State by the visit of the
Secretary of State. We realize
that this coming to co operate
with us marks an era in Ameri
can politics. It brings the Fed
eral Government into close touch
with the individual States.”
Mr. Bryan suggested that if
a bill such as the President
thinks inadvisable be passed
that be limited in its operation
to 2 years in order that diplomatic
efforts might have opportunity
to bring about the desired re
suits without Action.
president Reverses Precedent
and Is on Side ol Constitution.
Anent the objections of Sena
tors te President Wilson's plan
of making appointments a Wash
ington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says other Presi
dents have not conceived it to be
their duty to make appointments
upon their own initiative, then
ask members of the Senate
Whether or not they agreed as to
the appointees’ qualifications.
Senators as a rule have regarded
it as their right to make appoint
ments, when in political accord
with the administration, and
then ask the President to give
his consent.
The constitution provides that
the President shall make ap
pointments ‘-‘by and with the
consent of the Senate,” and
President Wilson thinks the ap
paintments should be made at
the White House and the con
sent should come from the Sen
ate. It is this reversal of the
old practice that has irritated
many Senators and has caused
them to protest to each other

North Carolina Boys* Corn Rec
ord the Finest.
R&leigii-'Timea.
To show what North Carolina
boys can do it may be stated that 1
ane of them has broken the world’s
record for corn production, and
that this year Prof. I. 0. Schaub.
who is in charge of the ‘’Boys'
Corn Club” in North Carolina,
expects to break the high record
already established. He says that
in 93 counties the clubs have been
organized with a membership of
2,50(), all of whom have signed the
Certificates that they will plant the
required area, cultivate it in the i
most approved manner and enter i
the great competition for the cur
rent year. Last year, the leading |
boy was George West of KinRton,,
188 bushels on an acre/ in 1911,
Charles Parker, of Woodlawn got
235 bushels; iu 1910, Ernest Starnds,1
of Hickory, 147 bushels; and in
1909, John Phillips of Randolph i
county 131 bushels.
Professor Schaub says that last
year 54 per cent of the boys who
registered were iu the final compe
tition ; this being a much larger per ,
centage than in auy other state iu j
the Uuiou. He expects this year|
to far exceed this find record and
that practically every boy will be
in the finals. I
