The Rocky Mount Record Published Every Thursday by ROCKY MOUNT PUBLISHING CO., C. W. FORLAW. Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: (In Advance) Three Months, ------ .35 Six Months, ------ .60 One Year, ....... SI.OO Entered as Second Class Matter in Post Office at Rocky Mount, N. C. ALL SHOULD STRIVE FOR RESTORATION OF CONFIDENCE. All efforts on the part of the pros perity doctors have produced no more than sporadic revivals of confidence, and the patient, thus temporarily re stored to consciousness, looks around upon the long faces of those attending the bedside, gasps and relapses again into a state of coma. This, because, in * stead of administering remedies in tended to cure, and will cure, oxygen is given tha patient to prolong life un til, peradventure, some happy turn may bring it back to health and strength. It is conceded that there is nothing radically wrong with the prosperity of the country, and the talk on every hand is that upon the restoration of confidence business will go on the even tenor of its Way, mills will resume, trains will run as before and all sorts of work will go ahead as though the "financial stringency" of 1907 was a horrible nightmare only, and we had awakened. And yet when it is said the individual acts as though he didn't be lieve a word of it, and draws in his little shell and makes no effort of his own towards bringing it to pass. It is useless to deny the fact that Rocky Mount was hit hard by the pan ic, but in no sense is it a crisis that confronts us, simply a condition the continuance of which is largely in our own hands. With the exception of that part of the business depression caused by retrenchment in railroad circles the citizens can do much to wards relieving the situation by goicg ahead with that work that has to be done, now, thus showing their faith in their words. Mr. Man of Means, if you had contemplated, before the panic, new enterprizes, or building, or extending or branching out in any way, there is no better time than now. La bor is plentiful, material in most in stances is cheaper and the conditions decidedly more favorable than they were in the flood tide of prosperity. While we are not familiar with the efforts of the city authorities to sell the bonds voted for improvements, and they doubtless think they are doing all they can, we call upon them to strain yet a little harder that this work may be inaugurated and occupation furnish ed those who are idle. And a word to one other class, the class of people who, secure in their position with a fixed salary, cry "panic" when asked to pay their honest debts, thus depriving the business man of his money at a time he needs it and needs it badly. Pay your ■debts and help things along. This class is altogether inexcusable and deserve severest condemnation. Let us all strive earnestly in every way we know to restore the confidence we say is nec essary to revive business, and results will as certainly follow as light follows darkness. That was a remarkable thing that oc curred in Kentucky, when Democrats elected a Republican to the United States senate in preference to their own primary choice. After balloting six weeks the legislature named Brad ley, Republican, against Beckham, the choice of the Democratic primary, and with the aid of four Democratic votes. It was due to hatred of the party ma chine Beckham controlled, and rather than let him profit by it these four Democrats voted for and caused the election of a Republican. It was a big price for a Democratic state to pay for purity in politics, but it may be worth it to Kentucky. It is a strange coincidence that the class of Democrats, largely, who are howling loudest for uninstructed dele gations to the Denver convention are the same that insisted so strongly fo* instructed delegations for Parker in 1904. The delegates should have gone unhistructed then and should do so this year, we think, but for a different reason than the one we believe these tiave who are pushing the idea. "UNCLE JOE" CANNON'S CANDIDACY Friends of "Uncle Joe" Cannon's candidacy for the presidency have been very active in promoting his interest in the south recently and have doubtless made some headway, but not enough to endanger Secretary Taft's chances, in our opinion. The mystery of it is how anybody, Republican or Democrat, who has the interest of the soujth at heart can support Speaker Cannon, when it is known that he, with the possible ex ception of Foraker, is the worst enemy the south has among the Republican possibilities for the presidency. While a native of North Carolina, his every arbitrary act since he has been speaker of the house of representatives has been inimical to southern interests, and done with a persistency that smacks of down right vindictiveness. He has blocked legislation which would be beneficial to the south, the abundance of merit of which appealed to enough Republican votes to make it law but fot his arbi trary will, and has in many ways shown a disposition to treat this section with disrespect. His chances are slim for getting southern votes, for which we are profoundly thankful. Since we published the notice to de linquent subscribers two weeks ago a number have responded and paid their subscriptions, but there are some yet who owe more than a year's subscrip tion and to these we give notice that the ruling of the postoffice department, effective April 1, to drop their names or pay a postage so high that it is prohibitory. Of course we will take the former course and if you are more than a year behind, send in your renewal before April 1, if you want to continue to get The Record. The Democratic State executive com mittee will meet in Raleigh on March 11 to fix the date and place for the State convention. The convention will probably be held the latter part of June and Charlotte is a prominent candidate as the place for holding it, besides, of course, Greensboro and Raleigh. Our congratulations to the Tarboro Southerner for having at last won the Edgecombe county commissioners to trying the split log dray on the roads\ It is a good thing and The Southerner, seeing it, has been pushing along the getting of it. ' Attention is called to the statements of the banks published in this issue of The Record. It is gratifying to know that these local financial institutions are in such splendid condition, as their statements show. Bishop W. W. Duncan, of the M. E. church, South, died at his home in Spartanburg, S. C. Monday, after an illness of some length. His death is a sad loss to Southern Methodism. A safe investment, a good rate of in terest free from all taxes, an important factor in the development of any com munity is a well managed "local building and loan association. Our stock-holders and directors are among the progres sive and conservative business men of Rocky Mount. Call on R. L. Huffines, Secretary and Treasurer, for informa tion concerning the 12th series of stock open for subscription February Ist, 1900 NOTICt! On March 12th 1908 wewwil y offer for sale at public auction a paft of our vacant property near South Rocky Mount. This property has been cut up into 18 very desirable lots and can be used for residence property or manu facturing sites, as it lies right along and facing the Norfolk & Carolina rail road. We think it is especially important | for the Stockholders of the Company to atten this sale, as these lots will be sold to the highest bidder, and unless pro tected they may sell to cheap.

Local Readers Ask \ • N More About Cooper / Lively Interest TaKen In The Account of His WorK Printed in This Paper Last WeeK. Big Demand For The Cooper Remedies at May ® Gorham's Drug Store Causes Much Comment. For the past several weeks the fam ous Cooper Remedies have been selling in quantities that far surpass anything ever introduced here. May & Gorham, the local agents, says they have never before handled remedies that proved to be so popular. There seems to be no abatement to the interest displayed by local people in the work of Mr. Cooper in Chicago, the following account of which is from the Journal of that city: During the past two weeks hundreds of voluntary testimonials have been given at Cooper's headquarters, The Public Drug Company, 150 State street, on the efficiency of the Cooper prepara tions for deafness, stomach complaints, rheumatism, and as a general spring tonic. Among the recent caHers was Mrs. Emma Stanley, living at 713 Washing ton Boulevard. She told her story in a most convincing manner/ and many persons who stood around her, indorsed all she had to praise of the Coop er remedies. She said: * 'Perhaps I had the most complicated case that Mr. Cooper has had to deal with. I was troubled with both deaf ness and stomach complaints, I don't know that one thing had anything to do with the other, but I do know that I tried many patent medicine prepara tions without result. I was so deaf that I could not hear a clock |ick and my stomach was in such a wretched shape that I could not enjoy a meal that I ate. "I was very nervous and could hard ly sleep. I had a roaring noise in my ears and dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. "One day I heard about the Cooper medicine and decided to try it. I have just started on my fourth bottle and the improvement in my case has been really wonderful. My nerves have been vjfc Ok COPYRIGHT Ittoe \ B.

"I cannot say too much for these wonderful remedies, for they have made me well again, so that I may now now enjoy life like I use to before I was sick." Among the many callers yesterday was Mr. George P. Lintz, 300 Center street, who had been a sufferer from stomach trouble for many yesfK. He said: "I suffered several years from indi gestion and stomach trouble. At times I was very nervous and weak, had dizzy spells, headache and felt tired and miserable nearly , all the time. Sleep at night gave me no strength and I was always tired in the morning. My appetite was also impaired; once in a while I could eat a good meal, but most of the time I had no desire for food. "One day I saw the advertisement of Cooper and read his temedies. I went at once to get the medicine, and after I had taken a few doses I was relieved of an enormous tapetoorm. Now I know what caused my suffering. My stom ach feels easy now, as if a great weight had been removed, and my health im proved rapidly. I have a good appetite and am completely restored in strength. "I am very thanlcful to Mr. Cooper for all that his medicine has done for me, and I heartily recommend it to all persons who feel exhausted, and are probably troubled as I was. **lt has done all that has been claim ed for it in any case and has helped me where all other medicines failed." Hundreds of people are daily* calling to see Mr. Cooper with the same story of restored health, strength and happi ness, which- only proves that all that has been said and written about the medicine is undoubtedly true.
