SAVING MONEY. A Dollar a Week Put Into the Bank Is a Cood Investment. “It is mlglity hard.” said an unfortu nate workiiigman some time apro to the Writer, “to s%ve up a thousand dollars by laying aside a dollar or two a week and then to take it out of the savings bank and lose it to a get rich quick swindler, as I have just done.” The poor fellow’ could work and save, but he had not had even a kindergarten education finance, else his story would havt* been ditTerent. lie had never giveu a thonglit to interest and 60 was al)S3lutely ignorant of growth through ccrapound interest and. of course, had never heard of that won derfnl prccep« of accumulation known rs “i)rogresfllve compound interest.” One dollar deposited in a savings bank that pays 4 per ccut will amoimt to .$2.19 in twenty years. Tliis is sim ple compound interest. Now, if you deposit $1 every year for twenty years, or $20 in all, the sum to your creilit will have grovrn to ;?30.97. Any wage earner can put by $1 a weel\. Tliat money deposited in a sav ings bank for twenty years will Irnve Increasc-d to $l,G12. A deposit of $5 a w'eek will have grown to $8,000, and this at 4 per cent will be $.'>20 a year. There is no secret, no mysti'i'y. !il>out this. It is ns clear as the cloudless sun, and the method is just a.s clean and hon»'st.”—Christian Herald. CANT READ THEIR LIPS. Uncle Sam, Declares, Is Stealing Candy from Chil dren—Makes Comparsion of import Duties. Just before sailing for Europe Thurs day last John Artuckle, the sugar re finer and coffee manufacturer, issued a statement stronKly attacking the tariff on raw sugar, declaring it to be ^ a wicked tax, “for the benefit of the best sugar interests,” In his state ment Mr. Arbuckle said; “I have not been well and am going abroad toiestand recuperate in pre paration for the fight to be made in Conjjress at its next session for free sugar. I propose to devote all my time and all my ability and all my strength to the abolition of all import ilutios on raw sugar, a most wicked tax on food necessity of all our poo pie. It taxes the man who wcrks for a wage of a dollar a day as much as it taxes an Astor or Mr. Morgan or Mr. l^ockfoller. Each eats, or at least needs, the same amount of sugar, and lliey pay, not according to ability but according to their reversing an elemental rule ti on. When Actors Do Not Face the Audi ence It Bothers the Deaf. “Time and time again we’re asketl to have cur actoi’s face the audience squarely when speaking lines that are of great Importance,” a theatrical manager said recently. “The explana tion for the request is generally the same—tliat deaf people in the audience who dei>end on lip reading rather than hearing lo.se the run of the play if some important lines are spoken by a person whose lips can’t be read. An actor or actress who’s stuck on posing in profile Is always the despair of the deaf people in the audience, as they say it’s almost impossible to read lips in profile. “Out ticket agent hears another side of the same question. People tell him when buying tukets that some one in the party is stone deaf and must read the lips of the actors in order to fol low tlie play. Then they ask him on which side of the theater these par ticular seats should bo located to make this lip reading tiie most satisfactory. Often the stage setting decides which way the actors mv.-t faoe. and if a deaf person gets on the wrong side of the house the play is pra; tically lost.” —New York Sun. of their needs, taxa- Don’t Make it a Parc^. Judge Bordwell who is now hearing the cases against the McNamaras at Los-Angeles Cal., has ruled that at torneys for the defendants may exer cise the Widest lattitude in questioning jurymen to determine their oposition to trades unions. The judge tries to salve this thing over by allowing the plaintifs to ask questions to ascertain whether or not the jurymen are mem bers of the Merchants and Manufac turers Association of Los Angeles. If Judge Bordwell wanted to write him self down as a narrow minded donkey he could hardly adopt a more success ful metnod than such rulings as Clear ance Darrow might suggest. The judge in a vain effort to salye this over permits the plaintifs attorneys to ask questions to ascertain as to whether the juror was a member cf the Mer chants and Manufacturers club. Neither of these propositions ought to come in to question in the trial of these eases any more than that of en- quii ing as to whether a man was a Republican or Democrat. It is murder that the McNamarars are being tried for and not for being members of a trades Union. We trust that Bordwell will not make of this trial a national farce. Too Late.

Two yoars ago Mrs. B. called here on the same errand that noAv brings you, and this errand in her case w’as successful. The paste jewels that you offer me are worth little more fhnn the hn-e of the han som awaiting you outside.”—liondon Tit-Bits. Read Radical Whirlwind Out in Californa political corruption flourished to such an extent for years that the state was made a-by-word. The seeds of the radical whirlwind rea- peil there last Tuesday were sown long ago. The people, instead of laying the blame for shameful conditiong to their own individual neglect of civic obli gations and patriotic r^'sponsibilities, made by the system of goveanment under which they lived the scapegoat and sought eagerly for some panacea that would work a miracle of redemp tion. They probably think they have found it. But time will disillusion them. In such cases it is no trouble to find prom ising pana ea3. They are always at hand. Demagogues have no scruples about encouraging the delusion that when an official yields to temptation and betrays his trust the system is to blame, not the individual. No greater fallacy was t-ver conceived. It is not necessary to hold the recall like a «word over the head of an honest judge. An honest legislature is al ways reponsive to the wil> of a sane inlelligent electorate. A dishonest Icpislature is the fruit of the tree— not the root of the evil. Those who are so eager to find fault and to place the blame for unwholesome laws should get that fact well rooted in their minds.—Va. Pilot. When you have a bad cold you want the best medicine abtainable so as to cure it with as little delay as possible. ' Here is a druggist's opinion; “I have j sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy tor fifteen years,” says Em a Lollar of Sarat(^a. Ind., “and consider >t the best on the market.” For sale by All Dealers. Not False Bui Fickle. Says President Taft: “I want the people to know where I stand.” This wish can be easily gratified if the man who cherishes it will only stand on any one question long enough to be counted. Sometimes, for a few hours, or a few days’ the people have thought they knew where their ami able Chief Magistrate was “at,” but in every c**se his attitude changed be fore the time for conclusi>re action had arrived. Comparisons are always odi ous and sometimes odorous—according as one quotes from Fortescue or Shake speare,—but we mean no disrespect in likening Mr. Taft to Napoleon’s flea: Put your finger on him, and nine times out of ten he isn’t there. —Va. Pilot. Here is a woman who speaks from personal knowledge and long experience viz, Mrs, P. H. Brogan, of Wilson, Pa who says, “I know from experience that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is far superior to any other. For croup there is nothing that excells it.” For sale by All De ilera.

Mebane, N. C. Thackeray and Colonel Newcome. Mr. Louis Melville tells a ctiaracter- istic story of Thackeray’s fondness for hLs greatest hero. “It was outside ‘Evan’s,’ ” ho writes, “that Lowell, being on a visit to liondon, met the novelist looking so hagg:>,rd and worn that he asked if lie were ill. ‘Come in side, and I’ll tell you all about it.’ said the latter. ‘I have killed the colonel.’ At a table In a quiet corner Thackeray took the manuscript from his pocket and read the chapter that records the death of Colonel Newcome. When he came to the end the tears that had been swelling his lids trickled down his face, and the last word was al most an itiarticulate sob.”-Ix>ndon Chronicle. How To Select a Jury Tiie Statesville Landmark and Char lotte Observer are justly alarmed by “the wave of murder which is sweep- yig over North Carolina. ” After de precating the mushy gush that goes in the guise of mercy now-a-days, the Landmark says; The first effort, we belieye, should be directed to securing a change in the law which permits counsel for the de fence in capital cases to select the jury. Numerous attempts have been made in this direction, all of which have failed because lawyers in the Legislature would not permit the bills to pass. If anything is to be accomp lished we should begin now to agitate i the question and urge the people to I see to it that candidates for the Legis lature naxt year, whether lawyers or laymen, are pledged to this reform and pledged in no uncertain terms. The people can force the change :f they will, and it should be the pur pose of the newspapers, the preachers and all those who recognize the serious ness of the situation, to constantly urge upon the people the importance of the change. During the week Chicago has cele brated the fortieth aniversary of tin- most destructive fire the country has ever recorded, if, inceed, not the rnrisl damaging in all history. The resurrec tion of this vast metropolis from the ruins of that flame is a marvel of Am erican achievement. Hardly before the heat had passed from the worthless waste of the fire, the business of re building was begun and within almost two years, tremendous progress had been made. Forty years from the date of that conflagration, the great West ern city stands forth now as a tribute to the architectural genius of the coun [ try and its attainments in wealth trade and general expansion are alto gether wonderful—Charlotte Observer Pretty High Hills. A dfstlngnisfiod astronomer once took the trouble to mensp.re in several paintings the size of the moon and to deduce from It the height of the moun tains shown in tlie same i)ictnre. Tie found tliat the average lieight of the hills was alvout forty-three miles, while one giant j)cnk raised its head more than a hundred miles above sea level. Turner, who was one of the greatest masters of 1‘indscape composition and coloring, frequently exaggerates the height of Ills hills with the Intention of conferring upon them a majesty which otherwise they would not possess.

That all who are hai)py are equally happy is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may i>e equally satisfied, but not equally hay>i>y. ITnppiness consists in tlie multiidlcity of ngree- able consclcusness. A peasant has not capacity for liaving ein:il liappiness with a philosoph;'>r.—.fohnson. Attendance of 45,000 I The crowd at the fair has been es- j timated at 45,000, the great majority i of this number being present Thursday j In view of the fact that Tuesday and } Wednesday were marred by rain, this is a wonderful record and shows better than words that the efforts of the man agers of the fair have been appreci ated. The crowd were liberal in praise of the various features of the fair and generally the opinion was that the exhibits eclipsed in excellence any previous years. The farm, stock and poultry displays showed in splendid manner the marvelous progress and awakement in interest thoughout this county and s?ctiou in these lines.— Greensboi-o News.

Two hundred progressive Republi can here at Chicago Monday in their first national conference endorsed Sen ator Robert M. Lafollette of Wisco’.i- sin for President and declared in favor of a direct primary as a means for the expression of a presidental choice. The endorsement came in the shape of resolutions framed in the part by for mer Secretary of the Interior James R Garfield, who it was held by the dele gates appeared as expressing the views ''f Theodore Roosevelt and who it was feared would oppose a declaration of any individual. Mr. LaFollette’s en dorsement went through without a hitch however. The resolution followed a day of La- Follette enthusiasm in which his name was cheered repeatedly as it was men tioned by a dozen speakers. Contrary to expectation the conference was con cluded in one day, most os the dele gates Ijft tho city, and the progresfive program outlined for tomorrow will be devoted to support of State and local candidates and conditions.

This Is a HowdyDo- Ain’t It? Very grave disorders occurred Mon day at Segni’ a town of 7,000 popula tion one-half hour of rail from Rome. The rioting was caused by the action of the municipality in adopting meas ures to stamp out cholera. Believing that the government intended to poi son quarantined cholera patients, a great crowd marched to the city hall and demanded their release The mob broke in the doors of the municipal building seeking the mayor, but failing to find him the rioters sack ed the building and then burned it. . A woman seized the municipal flag from th(i burning structure and cried. *’To the hospital, to the hospital, death to the doctors.” This sugges tion caught the fancy of the ciowd and the mob of shrieking men, women and children rushed to the hospital The doors were forced, attendants swept aside and the cholera patients lifted from their cots and carried to the street. Meanwhile others broke into a house where suspects were quarantined and took them from the place. A proces sion was then formed and the sick were borne to their homes. Two of the patients who were at the point of death were passed from one to another embraced and kissed by their half-mad friends. The local authorities managed to send a message to Rome and the troops hurriedly sent from the capital restor ed order after many of the mob ha been arrested.
