When Alexander Graham Bell patented and perfected his telephone .tV skeptics were loud iti their de j rision of the "toy." Nevertheless, j Bell found belierc n. and those be lievers were rewarded for their faith by immense fortunes, . Gard ner G- Hubbard, the father-in-law and faithful friend of Bell, was the man who risked trie most and gained the greatest rewards in backing Bell and the telephone un til it reached the stage where the public no longer derided the instru ment as a play thing, but clamored for it as a necessity. Just now in the formative and constructive pe riod there are doulrters and skep tics, but there some faithful friends, and it i> the?c friends and fathful ones who are going to reap the for tunes that are bound to follow the general adoption of the wireless system. The gnat advantage of this system over that using wires and cables is its extremely low in itial cost, which relieves operating it of a large burden of interest, taxes and depreciation,thus increas ing its earning capacity many fold. Those who are investing in the stock of the Maicoui Wireless Tele graph Company of America, to day are the ones who are certain to win great fortunes by the future in crease in value of those stocks, as well as through , the dividends earned and paid iu the iterini. Bell Telephone Stock increased in value from SI.OO per share to 1M; be worth over SI,OOO per share.and so Marconi stocks will very likely increase from J+.oo, the present price, to over SI ,OOO within a few • years. Thus s■>o invested now may become $20,000 within a de cade. It is by wi e investments such as these that the rent, for tunes of Jlie Ng millionaires nave b.-en made. The Vanrterhilts in railroad:-, the Goulds iu telegraphs and railroads, the Mackays in cables, ihe Rockefeller's in Standard Oil, idle II übL-xd&in telephone*. - The man who lias a few hundred dol lars laid away to invest and who has the intelligence to grappa llee'.- 1 ing opportunity will he tile one to I seize the Marconi offering and j make his fortune. "The Weekly Marconigratn" is the name of a periodical devoted to Ithe new wireless system, and its publishers, Messrs. Munroe & Munroe. 44-60 Exchange Place, New York, announce that it will be sent free lo all Who apply for it. This firm is known as an aggres sive, enterprising combination of brilliant young financiers who have a successful career liehiiid them as a guarantee of their future. They have agreed to keep Marconi Com pany supplied with working capi tal until the system is thoroughly established and in full commercial operation.They have issued a hand some booklet, "Marconi Wireless," giving full particulars concerning Marconi and his system, with 32 illustrations in half-tone, which they send free to persons likely to become interested as stockholders in the company. Mr. George H. Munroe, New York manager of the firm, says: •'We are soliciting the investment of small amounts in Marconi se curities for the reason that we be lieve that the American people will welcome the 'establishment of this competing system, and because we know that great profits will accrue to tlsc investor front the develop ment of this marvelous invention to a commercial stage. The com pany ha?, already, over a quarter of, a million dollars invested in stations and apparatus in the United States, but it will require at least as much more before the busi- ( ness can be cslabi s'icd upon a highly ptufilahle basis One.- that J is done the value of Marconi se- 1 eurities must- necessarily advance 1 very rapidly, and those who buy , now will in the course of a few years find themselves iu possession of securities equally as profitable as Telephone Western Union and 1 Commercial Cable have heretofore been. If anybody wants know more about the oppoitunities this system offer*, let him write to us at 1 44-60 Exchange Place, and we will 1 be glad to give them." ] I Raleigh Letter. Ey ! 1 iwx.vy, July 13th, 1903. In talking with a number of the delegates to the State convention of the Anti-Saloon League held here last week, I found that many ap prove of the use qf tbe liquor dis pensary as a weapon or instrument for abolishing\he open saloon, es pecially in communities where for any reason it is tlie-Ugh! to be im practicable to v «ptrlv and effec tively enforce prohibition, and at j places where the majority' may be opposed to total prohibition. Even the most pronounced and usually most uncompromising pro hibitionists, look with favor upon the dispensary as an "entering wedge," and it can already I*seen that it will lie made the issues in many localities where saloons now obtain in the coming local elections 0:1 tbe question. It Is understood that the fight here iu Raleigh will be made ou that line. The revenue which the munici palities and counties secure through the dispensary adds much to its popularity and silences the "loss of revenue" argument of the appo sition in local option campaigns. • * 4 The newly elected State Central Executive Committee of the Anti- Saloon League will hold its firs! meeting here to-night. The rais ing of a campaign fund of $5,000 by the convention and the thorough organization perfected indicates that the anti-liquor forces mean business. They say that the elimi nation of the "illiterate and pur chaseable', negro vote from the electorate of North Carolina, lies greatly crippled the whisky people and correspondingly strengthened the temperance forces, and that the latter are now iu a position fog the first titlii days to control Hie liquor traffic and to abolish the saloon in nearly or quite all the towns. • * The appearance of Senator Sim mons in the coiix tition tlggvfiig his sick bed to do so) and his speech; conservative as'it was, was a revelation and to many a surprise —because it has been a very un usual thing for a "public man" to tike past iu a gathering of that kind. Heretofore most of them have avoided the "prohibitionists" as. they would a plague, especially the Chinese office seekers. Possi bly the reverse may Ire true*for a while under the changed condi tions. A "farmers'convention" will le held in Raleigh next week, July 21-33, "an interesting program has been arranged for the 3 da>#K ses sion. Governor Ayeock, Hon. John S. Ctiningham, Hon. S L. Patterson, O. W. Blackwell, Prof. C. M. Burkett and others will de liver addresses and Gen. Matt. W. Rousom will preside. Half fare rates over the railroads. • • People are largely taking advan tage of the low summer rates offer ed by the Southern Railway and are hastening to the mountain and other summer resorts. • _ The July term of Wake county Superior Court begins today. One of tbe important cases to be tried is the case of lawyer Ernest Hay wood for the killing of Ludlow Skinner Judge Peables is presiding. * * * The fall term of the Supreme Court will begin August 31, on which date applicants for license to practice law will lie examined. * * '* The much noted question of where the North Carolina National Guard's encamp this year has at last been .settled, amL MareheaiL City, Greensboro and Asheville are the places selected —tbe Ist regi ment and Battery A, at Asheville, August 19-25; 2nd regiment, July 22-28, at Morehead C.ty; 3rd regi ment, August 6-12, at Greensboro. * Visitors to Raleigh next fall and winter will have the opportunity of . witnessing tbe finest line of thea trical ettractious ever brought to this city. Manager R. H. Baker j of the Academy of Music will give his entire time and attention to! this popular play-house, the stage which is to be eularged aud other improvements are to I* made. He! recently returned from New York ' where he booked many of the very ! best shows that travel. * 4 * Within a week the distribution! of the laws passed by the last legis ture is expected to be completed. Copies of the bound volumes of tlie acts are this week being for warded to the registers of deeds fjr the county officers and magis trates of the various counties. * * * Counties which desire to borrow money from the State public school loan fund, created by the legislature last winter, tor the purpose of building additional public school houses or repairing or enlarging these now in operation, should I make application at once to the State Supt. of Education, through tie county 1 wards of education. The apportionment will begin about Jul}- 15thor 20 and, although $200,000 is now available for this purpose, it is probable that all of it and more will l»e applied for va rious counties under the terms pro vided for in the new law. * * * If it was not "ag'in' ther law" 1 I might comment on the failure of Raleigh to enlarge its limits, and ' say something about the hot weatli 1 er. llut they are taliooed subjects 1 now.
