WA7 AUG A DEMOCRAT, R. C. Rivers, Proprietor,' Thursday November 21, 1007. I " -. ; - ' ; ; " : j . FUh (he Coiacr Slone. (Nwn andjOdwrvpr.) , The Christian religion itt ImhwI . upon Faith. No len tiuly is liu--jjan society dPfH-npent upon le liel and trust. Take out lulth and there would Iw loHt t.lie power ol religion to Mens the liven of man kind. Take out jibe faith we have In our fellow men and rivilbsed society would be destroyed in .a " day. ; The money famine thnt has reached all sections of the cnuii try had its birth when the whole world was shocked by the revela- -tions of theHishonesty ol trusted -insurance officials. It wus helptni by the diflclosures of rebate giv en by the Mortons, confpssed ro b bery of stockholders and jug filing by the llrtrrimnnH, the con viction of the Rockefellers tor vi olating the luw, and the expoK urn of the men who had been true ted trying to pet rich quick by dinhonest and daubtful method. There htis been, ol course, contri buting renaoiiH I o the money farti ino, but these a ml like disdou liiertol rascality Itean the los ol confidence. ConfiJeiK-e is beint grudutillv restored. In diet the Smith line not beentouched at all by luck ol confidence in it financial in- -Btitutions.They are "mind ami worthv of confidence They have been nimble to "got their own money deposited in New York Im cause the New York banks will not return'their money in curren cy, and the tight money in the tenter has made it impossible for thf-mtoget the usuul currency to pay for the Sou'h's crop of cottdu. But the trouble with N. C. bankn has come wholly from without, and as soon as normal dcondihona are restored in N e w York there will be plenty of mon ?y for our business. In the mean, time the trouble due to the mon ey famine will begreatly reduced if everybody will 'follow the ex amplejol the Caswell county man ol whomthe Burlington News says: "A farmer from i across t h p eoontrv came iuto town the oth er duy and went to one of o u r lianks" and 'pulled out a roll ol musty bills and said to the cnh,- ier that he wanted to deposit the bills in the bunk. He said he had some more at home jiist like those and would bring; more. This shows the confidence that is felt by our people." Some people think there are many thousand dollars running up to hundreds of thousands of dollars-in hiding in North Caro : lina. If so, and ail the men who have it in hiding places would put it in the banks the money famine in New York could not ulackbn the business in North Carolina as it has dnn. Money is performing its real function on . ly when it is at work and the man ho hoards it is lo that extent hampering business and helping to depress the price of cotton and other products. North Carolina banks enjoy the confidence of all who kno their management and t heir con dtions. There is no reason whj they should not be the deposito ries ol all the money of the peo ple to the end that it can be kept in circulation and prevent any check iu North Carolina's prog ress. . While Govt Glenn still refuses to talk in regard to calling of a spe cial session of Legislatue to take up the passenger rate question it can be stated on the highest au thority that Gov. Glenn will, with . in the next two or three days, is sue an order calling a special ses sion. Just what recommenda lionsthe Governor will make" To . the legislators is not known and the issurance of the order is a waited with intense interest. Asheville Citizen. Krtrlnl For Indigestion. .

In which there is a very great deal of truth. At the same time we see no reson why all the early relief ; possible should not be sought and obtained.-Cbarlotte Obser ver. . The Japanese embassy at Wash ington has been advised that the national exposition of 1912 at Tokio will be held between April 1 October 31 , thus covering both the chrysanthemum and cherry blossom seasons The exposition is to be inter national, and exhib its from foreign governments and peoples are desired.' The national budget includes an appropriation of $5,000,000 for the purpose, and with the ap propriaion expected to be made in the local Tokio and other budgets the .aggregate appro priation probably will reach $ 1 0. 000,000. The grounds will em brace 250 acres, of which about 30 acres will be covered by build ings. Landmark . ; ' In n hospital at Trinidad, Col., on the 11 th inst., there died a woman 83years old who, for 60 years had passed for a man. Her name was Catharine Vasliaugh. She donned mens' clothing GO j years ago, as she found it hard I to make her way on account of her sex. She was married to a wo man and lived with her 30 years: After her "wife's" death last year she became too feeble to work and Iwing sick w.as taken to a hospital where she later di ed. It was there that her. sex be came known. . Recently Miss Rose Johnson, a London rescuer, charged at a mass meeting held in Chicago, that that city had a white slave syndicate that was doing" a con siderable business. Judge Fred L. Fake, chairman of the meet ing, gave instances where this seemed to be true. It is claimed that unfortunate white girls are sold not only over the United Statefltutto Panama and the Harems of Turkey and Egypt. We don't know why Chicago does not sink if this be true. vThe medals awarded; North Carolina afjauiestown were as follows: The Cochrane Show case Co., oi Charlotte, n silver medal; tne Hickory Seed Co , of Hicko ry, a silver medal for cleaned grain and eeeds; the'Kincaid Ve neer and Lumber Co., of Salis bury, a silver medal for quarter ed oak and sycamore veneering, and the Elkin Woollen Mills, of Elk in. a gold medal for the best blankets in the world. All of which goes On to prove that the Old North -State stands in the very front ranks pf the nation. Rev. C. A. JenTcins, pastor of of the Frst Baptist Church at Statesville," preached recently on the treatment of dumb animals. None of us are considerate en ough, and it would be well if the ministers of the gospel would of ten remind their flocks of their duty to the dumb animals- that are , unable to plead for them selves. ' Some time ago the People's National Bank, of Portsmouth, Va., suspended payment, saying the financial stringency was the cause. Later the bank was plac ed in the hands of a aeceiver, it having been made insolvent through the defalcations of the absconded cashier. ' TooM..ehHdnfM.

There has recently been a let ter of Criticism of the Tope writ ten by Father Ferrell, an Eng lish Jesuite, and it is probable be will be ex-communicated. It is said that since Luther, this, is the first instance of the Pope being scorned by a member of the Catholic clergy - It is inevitable that tempta tions come, but "very one of us has it largely within his will to say what his temptations shall be; to determine by his conduct of today what form the tempta tions of tomorrow shall asume. George Adam Smith- The well-known Canadian di vine, Rev. Dr. John Potts, recent ly died. He was eminent in Meth odist circles, a leading educator, a member of the International Sunday School Lesson Commit tee and a great Christian En deavor worker. Since the Annual Conference of the Methodist Chureh which met Inst week in Salisburv last week. adjourned in Mt. Airy last No vember, 6even of the members have died. A very old lady on her death bed in a penitential mood said "I have been . a great sinner for more then caighty years and did not know it." An old colred woman who had lived with her . a long time ex claimed Lord! I knew it all the time." Atchison Globe.

Small, a drug clerk: in Tliomnsville, recently received news that his uncle bad died in Oklahoma and left him from $50,000 to $75,000. He went at once to see about it.
