Wlnston-Salcra banks, while ' of course absolutely solvent, are suffer ing from a lack of cash and cannot command it from the ordinary sources, Just as a man well worth 110,000 may not be able to lay hU hand op $500 cash and cannot get It where he would ordinarily look for It, They could help their case by calling In their loans but this would work hardship and the general effect would bo bad. These banks have therefore resorted to the excellent ex pedlent of Issuing certificates which ttand for cash and the buslnoss men and farmers, and community genrratly with great good sense accept the 'er ttflcates without hesitation. They pay small debts, are "currpnt with the merchant," as the Scripture hath it, and answer all the ends of and to all Intents and purpose are as good as money. The .situation Is one of stringency not lack of strength. This If realized and henrn nobody Is 'uneasy or need he. The resort to this mefho!! to relieve timpnrnry tightness is not new but has been often resorted to elsewhere with good results and without ultimate loss to anybody.

Such bouies now exist In most of the States and have formed a national organizatioa Their mission Is to fight the greatest scourge of the hu man race, a ghastly disease from which, no one enjoys Immunity If sub jected to a, sufficiently . etrong and continuous infection. Their hope of speedy results and complete ultimate victory rests upon the well-establish-, ed fact that no living - creature ever develops .consumption 'except where the germs have been implanted, from without Unless the seeds re forth coming It matters not, so far as this -n.ia dtseftse la concerned, how yua a , - - . hereditary Influences have prepared the soil. Under present conditions i modern community life the tubercu losis germ Is breathed, drunR ftnq eaten to such an extent that moat of h aronk and some of the strong sooner or later succumb mainly In the early , prime of life. Flying W th dust of our. streets, lurking In the milk which we drink, and depos ited upon our food by tha feet of flies, tuberculosis picks out Its vic tims day by day. Once the germs enter the body anywhere they almost invariably hasten to the lungs, and unless overcome by the white corpus- cules of the blood and general vital resistance they multiply until the lung Is eaten out In much the same man ner as a worm eats out an apple, the victim soon beginning to waste away from oxygen starvation. Often they Inhabit the body In a comparatively neutralised and Inactive state for con siderable periods some eminent au thorities gay even for years read to assert themselves at any time that their host may be weak from illness or other cause. Every consumptive throws off millions of them day by day. and they are hardy and long-v lived iri the extreme. Any one who failed to make due allowance for the average human organism's sturdy front toward disease might well won der that any city dweller Is left alive very long. Such Is the dread foe whom the anti-tuberculosis organizations pro pose to comhat. They have an Im mense task, but results obtained be fore they rame Into being afford plenty of encouragement. The press has gladly lent itself to efforts by the medical profession and cfly boards of health to educate the public upon this vastly Important subject. Every Intelligent consumptive .now knows that the effective destruction of his sputum, and other cautionary meas ures, guard him against re-lnfectlon at the same time that they remove or render almost npKlip'My small the danger which he constitutes to oth ers. Expectoration oy any one on sidewalks or the floors of , public places has come to be almost unlverr sally prohibited. IrobAhly most Im portant of all have been the meas ures following conclusive proof that human and bovine tuberculosis are Identical. Milk, formerly under but vague suspicion, Is now recognized as far more In need Of attention on this account than even with rpgard to ty phoid fever. All well-regulated cities require that cows n dairies be pe riodically subjected to the tuberculin test, and Charlotte's experience that a very considerable proportion of such cows are tuberculous has been en countered nearly everywhere else. In the city of Rochester, N. Y., a close WHtch on the milk supply reduced the number of deaths from consumption among children' by 2.500 during a nine-yoar period. Any one can see what an opportunity for dealing the disease a hard blow such activities as this offer. The antl-tuborculosls peo jdo have also been active in promot ing the segregation of consumptives In all public Institutions, penal and otherwise. Some look forward to a time when public sentiment will per mit the segregation of nil constimp t!ve, under circumstances which will conC'T the very best chance of re covery as well as assure that they will cease to bo a menace. Whether with or without resort to joirh ex treme measures, few doubt that the 1 plague can be stamped out In the end. The war on tuberculosis has al ready achieved much and promises vastly more. It behooves North Car olina to enll'it actively without fur ther delay. 1: r ia ti r-it r-ey the res- rii tor, i"c:,r,sj he to compol you to a fur the terms: "For your m-i's you taurant or how 1 I for pojsijt-Hsefl the pnv him. .

The New York writer must have been a restaurant-waiter himself at some time In his life. . One of the regrettable consequences In North Carolina of the financial dis turbance in New Tork is the suspen sion of work on the Blewltt Falls water power on the Pee Dee, with the laying off of 1,000 hands Tues day. The enterprise was being financed by the Knickerbocker Trust Company, of New York, which sus pended last week. It Is agreeable to know that there Is prospect of early resumption of operations. A work Which has been disbursing $400,000 of foreign money a month in North Carolina Is of Immediate consequence to the State, not to speak of. what the enterprise In Its fruition will mean to It. TilXEAOE OF THE LEES. London Times firosslv Mistaken In ronfonndine Famon Virginia Fam ily With Governor fiinrlo Lee. Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. The London Times claims to be In fallible. For more than a hundred years the reat organ of English opin ion haa. steadfastly InslsteJ that noth ing appeared in Its columns which was not true. During all that time neither the threats of libel suits nor the ap peals of justice have prevailed on the management to retract or amend a statement once printed, Early In the last century the Tunderer announced with appropriate comments the death of a somewhat prominent momber of parliament. When later the gentle man called at tae office, clothed lit full health and vigor, to ask reparaJ tlon for the prematurity of his taking off, he was assured by the eJitor, Mr; Walters, that such u thing as the self stultincatlon of The Times was Impos sible; but at last, as an extreme con cession, Walters ngreed to Insert the name of the complainant In a conspic uous place among the weekly notices of births. If the policy of The Times in tills regard has been changed no public "notlee of th,. fact has been irlven and we cannot, therefore, hope that ex- will leave the city at. 8 o'clock ecptlon will be made In a case just brought to our attention.

Fourth Street Extension. V- -,.-.-.'. Mrs. ; Claude Fhaw ended her life yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence of her brother, Mr. J. F. Shannon, at 120 East Fourth street A; (extension), by cutting her throat wltn a rasor. The unfortunate woman had been In Ul health for aj number of years, and especially for several months past she had been a constant sufferer .from melancholia. This" condition superinduced the rash act, this being the only theory which her relatives are able to form In, re gard to the sad occurrence. , & .Mrs. Shaw was In her room at the Shannon home a larger part of, the afternoon, and the only other person in the residence waa Mrs.. Shannon, who occupied an adjoining ; room, but beard no noise nor had any In-, dicatlon that her Blster-lnlaw "V was planning to end her existence.. Think ing that she , was staying alone In her room too long, Mrs." Shannon opened the door about 6 o'clock and found Mrs. Shaw lying In a pool of her own blood, with the Instrument of death close by. .'.' . About tbree years ago Mrs. Shaw sustained an accident near Mat thews by alighting from a Seaboard Air Line train as It slowed up for a iwash-out which had . occurred on that day. She was badly Injured In the accident, and shortly thereafter instituted suit against the railroad company, alleging responsibility for the injuries she received. In court the contention of her attorneys was that the defendant company was guilty of gross negligence In falling to announce that the stop was not at the station, Mrs. saaw laboring under this impression when she jumped from the train. Sha received a ver dict of $1,600 from the court. Her relatives stated freely to an Observer man yesterday evening that Mrs. Shaw had never fully re covered from this accident, and that since that time It has been notice able that her mind was not normal. There were times when she became fearfully despondent, a condition which, they claim, was alien to her prior to the accident. Mrs. Shaw had been living with her brother for four or five months, removing here from Matthews, where she lived for a number of years. Her husband died four (years ago. The deceased Is survived by one little daughter, Lena, three brothers, Messrs. J. F. and K. N. Shannon, of the Southern Bell Telephone con struction force, and Mr. J. I Shan non, living near Matthews. Her mother and two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Caldwell and Mrs. S. W. Matthews, ulso survive. Mrs. Shaw wa8 just 25 years of age and was a -woman widely known In the section of the county where she lived for so many years. The fact that she was so constantly a sufferer from despondency during' a targe part ot nr residence here had the effect of preventing - the forma tion of many j acquaintances here, but those who did know her were strong in their friendship. The deceased was a member of the Pleasant Plains Baptist Church, two miles from Matthews, and the funer al will be held there this morning at 11 o clock, to be conducted by Rev. Dr. H. H, Hulten, pastor of the First Baptist anurch of this city;. Mrs. Shaw waa a member of the Pleasant Plains church. The funeral party at the :-v.t. F,ie.-itil to The O! ry-r. KVknry. Oct. 31. O a t:. of Octoiir the liounJ I' Club held Its remilar meet it beautiful home of .Mrs. C. C. Owing: to the death of John 'Charles McNeill, for whom many competent critics are claiming a place among the South's foremost poets, it was decided to dispense with the regular programme and to turn the meeting into a McNeill memorial. The house had been brilliantly dec orated with autumn leaves and potted plants. Hand-painted souvenir cards, representing a scene In autumn, were distributed among the guests, con taining beautiful quotations from Mr. MeNeilL It was noted by more than one that the meeting was held in the same house and the same room where John Charles McNeill gave his first public reading from his, own poems and many pleasing incl-' dents of that pleasant occasion, of which he was the central figure, were recalled.'
