WHAT SAVING MEANS. A LES
SON FOR THE CHILDREN TO
LEARN.
"Every man should realize that ev
ery time he saves $50 he adds 25
cents a month to his income," said
Frank P. Stevens, secretary of the
Safety Savings and Loan Asociation
of Kansas City, whose duties bring
him in daily contact with thousands
of savers, big and little. "When he
saves a thousand dollars he has added
$5 a month to his income. He may
have added more, indeed, if he can
take the money and invest it wisely,
but he has at least added that much
for he can easily get C per cent inter
est on it.
"It is my idea that saving is large
ly a matter of parental training and
home teaching. I know it has been so
in my case. My parents were forever
impressing it on me that I ought to
save my money and in time the sav
ing habit became part of my life.
"For that reason I am a great be
liever in children's savings banks and
all means that will teach the child to
save. My first saving was to get
money to attend the world's fair at
Chicago, and I saved $50 in a little
dime savings bank. I had a good
time at the fair and I had found out I
could save. Then I joined the savings
and loan association and it was njt
long before I bought two houses and
stuck to it until I had pi.id off the
first mortgages.
"A lothcr tiling that, as every one
knows, enters into saving successful
ly is living within vour income, tins
lv iif.-fs :i measure of self-denial. I
know a :iiie young fellow, well eibi-
the most lmport-int laies-woul-.l
1 e l.t fore Uncle S-.m
have to right the Mexi-ans
furnishing horses to mount
Some military critics and
semen think that it would be iin-
coiii- i pos-iiilo to get enotign horses to
mount the cavalry and artillery, while
others say it could be done. However,
that may be, it is unquestionable that
it would take a very great number cf
horses should we Jiave to conquer
Mexico. The British army bought
1100,000 to subdue less than 100,000
Boers in South Africa, and the Civil
War in this country consumed re
mounts at the rate of 1,000 a day
The Boers were a mere handful as
compared with the Mexicans, nor was
their country so perfectly adapted to
defensive warfare as Mexico is known
to be. Just how many horses would
be required for the conquest of Mexico
cannot be approximated, but if the
number approached that of the Boer
war, as some army men and horse men
seem to believe it would, Uncle Sain
might have to loosen his purse strings
and do some tall hustling to meet the
demands of the cavalry, the artillery
and the quartermaster's department.

"The point is, we do not know, be
cause we never experiment, how many
things we can get along without and
how many times we might get along
without something. Often I will plan
to buy something on the first of the.
month and will be too busy to attend
to it. When I think of it on the third

along all right without it and possi
bly can continue to do so. So maybe
I don't buy it at all.
"In other words and briefly sav
ings means self-denial and self-denial
and extravagance do not go together.
So one of the greatest preventitives of
extravagance is to keep so busy and
apply yourself sow illingly to work
that you will not be tempted to spend

A PERTINENT INC.UIRY
Why should a buncombe county
farmer have his land assessed at
$17.88 an acre and a Richmond county
farmer his at $4.49, when Richmond is
by far the better farming county?
The constitutional committee wanted
to try to equalize the burden but the
Democratic state convention has de
clared that that party will not help.
Greensboro Daily News.
C. R. Hudson, of the department of
farm demonstration work, Raleigh, is
urging that farmers save their clover
seed, saying there is going to be a
great demand for crimson clover,
uli.eh it is expected will result in
hi.:n prices. lie says: "There is go
n.ijr to be a big demand for crimson
.lover seed in North Carolina this

dangers of failure to got a
d. Moreover when a fanner al
ien.: -. has iced, he is more likely 'o
; iai't them than he L; to buy sc-d to
plant.
"lnere are several practical meth
ods of saving clover seed Ci.e way
is to attach a large sheet to the cutter
bar and have a boy Walk behind hold
ing it urtil it is filled and then dump
ing the clover in piles. The piles are
Hailed out on sheets and the seed
separated. Another way is to haul
to a tight floored room, when well ma
tured, and stack there until some
rainy day or other convenient time,
then by forking down and removing
the clover, the seed will be found on
the floor."
ERNEST CRESEY DURHAM WINS
MEDAL.
Ernest Cresey Durham, of Biscoe,
won the Wiley Gray medal, the most
c. -vetjd h"-no. of 'he Senior class, in
i,he oratorical contest at Trinity Col
lege commencement. His subject was
"America and Evangelism." The
medal was presented to the winner by
President Few. The oratorical con
test was one of tne best that has been
given- at the college in a number of
years. -
Two courses will be offered in the
forenoon; one for primary teachers r
those desiring to take primary meth
ods, the other for intermediate teach
ers or those feeling the most need
of intermediate methods. Teachers
should bring the books which ever
section they wish to enter.
The Institute will be seriously crip
pled if the teachers do not bring or
provide themselves with the text
books used in the rural schools.
It is important that all teachers at
tend regular. To miss a single day
will mean a loss to the teacher; some
point in teaching may be stressed that
will mean much not only on examina
tion, but in future work in the school
room. Make up your minds now to
be on hand at every session.
I have already furnished a list of
homes in the circular letter that will
provide accommodations to the teach
ers and also prices.
Make your arrangements now to
attend the Institute for its is going
to be the best in the history of Ran
dolph county. It will begin promptly
at 10.30 on the 29th of June and we
will arrange then the program to suit
our convenience. If you wish any fur
ther information I shall be very glad
to give it.
Yours very truly,

THE NEGRO.
The Churchman quotes the follow
ing interesting facts and figures from
a very high authority on the negro:
Nearly one-fourth of all the negro
farmers in the South own the farms
they cultivate. This rural property is
valued at nearly $5,000,000. The Rus
sian serfs, after fifty years of free
dom, have not made greater headway.
They have not done so well, indeed,
in their conquest of illiteracy. During
the Inst census period the negroes of
the South increased less than 10 per
cent in population but they increased
17 per cent in the ownership of farms,
against a 12 per cent increase of white
owners. The negro farmer now owns
s "7.1 100,000 worth of farm imple
ments and tools, 177.00(1 0(10 worth
of animals, and S27.-!.(ni(),0(iO worth of
farm lands find buildintvs. In 1830
Georgia rcgroos owned .',) t'. ',i acres
of farm land, but ia 1010, they own
ed l,.,o7,07( acres. Nevro property
u;.on the tax ii ts of U"u,:-ia now
amounts in value to 1 oiKM'ijO. Tha
facts show in d.vi'id'.i.i;; r,.t'o cf ne
gro population in every Southern
state except Arkansas and Oklahoma;
a decreasing ratio in (he cities of th-j
.South, but nn increasing ratio in th.)
farming region's of every Southern
state excent Louisiana.

DeafAfefe Cannot lie Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and this Is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of
the mucous Undng of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube Is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
ls entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
Inflamed condition of the inue
surfaces.!
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
