EXISTING EXEMPTION LAWS-
Effects of North Carolina's Unnecwi-

To the Editor of The Observer:
It is pleasing to note that some
pressure is oemg orousni o
inokinir to a repeal of the xlstlng,
and, to say the least, unnecessary ex
emption laws of our State.
The North Carolina legislative set
providing a homestead of 11,000 and
personal property of 1500 to every
resident of the State exempt from
execution or levy to satisfy any in
debtedness was Intended as a protec
tion for helpleBS women and minor
children, whose husband and father
through unfortunate business exper
ience or otherwise might become
financially involved. Usage, however,
seems to have proven this the excep
tional cause for claiming the home
stea. While the law has occasionally
been Invoked to benefit an honest yed
Ill-fated householder, It is an accept
ed fact that It has more often suc
corded the unworthy and dishonor
able. Its disastrous effects are seen moBt
frequently In cases of merchants, who,
with limited If any capital,
engage in business and buy
good from every Jobber or
manufacturer that may be induced
to extend them credit. Many times
they have neither experience nor
ability and, after a few months of
reckless buying and selling, find them
selves hopelessly Involved, then take
advantage of bankruptcy and claim
the exemptions. A few months steep
themselves, so to speak. In an adjust
ment and spend themselves In a dis
charge from bankruptcy leaving the
erstwhile debtor' relieved of his obli
gations and possessed of his exemp
tions ready to pursue his mercantile
career with more property and capi
tal, perhaps, than had ever before
been his good fortune to command.
An analysts of the homestead or
exemption laws of other States shows
that North Carolina . is neither the
mean nor the extreme in this respect.
Tet there are features of the North
Carolina law that render It more ob
noxious. It is available to every resi
dent of the State, whereas "In other
Commonwealths it is almost without
exception confined to honsheholders
or heads of families. The benefit of
the homestead. in the majority of States
may be surrendered to meet a writ
ten obligation, but in North Carolina
it cannot be legally waived. In Vir
ginia and some other States the
phrase "The homestead exemptions
are hereby waived as to this obliga
tion" is a part of promissory notes or
other written evidences of debt. In
many of the States comprising the
large centres of population the home
stead exemption law is virtually un
known. Notable among this group
are New Tork, New Jersey, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland,
Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Islsnd and Vermont. By conforming to
a statute requiring that the homestead
be set apart at the time acquired, reg
istered and recorded as such, there is a
tentative provision for a very small
exemption in New Jersey, New Tork
and Connecticut, but instances are said
to. be so few where this Is done that the
law Is practically a "dead letter." In
a great many States there are certain
articles of personal property exempt
from execution, such as mechanics'
tools, agricultural implements, profes
sional libraries, etc., but these are
usually. If not always, subject to exe
cution or sale to satisfy any balance
of purchase money. It Is rarely the
case outside of a few Southern States
that exemptions can be taken In a
stock of merchandise. Indeed, the
homestead exemptions seem to be a
distinctive feature of the commercial
laws of Southern States. The
amounts subject to such reservation
vary from 11.600 in North Carolina
$1,600 in Georgia, $2,000 In Virginia
to $5,000 or more In Oklahoma and
Texas. In the last named State the
homestead of a famil- in real estate
includes property H My or town of
the value of 15.000, In country not
more than 200 acres of land. The
Supreme Court of Texas has Inter
preted as exempt not only the claim
ant's residence proper but also his
place of business. We hsve often
heard manufacturers say that this
Texas statute made it undesirable to
extend credits of merchandise within
its borders.
The North Carolina Legislature
would take a step in the rlsht'dlrec-
tion to either repeal its present ex
emption law altogether, or so amend
it as to provide for a waiver, and
make It available only to heads of
families or those upon whom depend
ent persons rely for support Then
it should be impossible to claim ex.
emptions In articles on which there 1

'An' unseemly controversy has aris
en between The Charleston News and
Courier and The Charlotte Observer
about the famous Hong-Kong gander
and the fatChltty-gonghen, wnicn
have -been performing such prodigies
of valor for the Democratic campaign
fund and to whosa achievements The
Sun has several times recently direct
ed attention.. It will be. recalled that
the gander and hen were sent to The
Charleston caner by The Charlotte Ob
server and were raffled for the benefit
of the Democratic cause. After send
In the 125 raised by this raffle to Mr.
Bryan for his campaign fund. The
News and Courier seeks to belittle the
poultry. The Hon. Philip H. Gadsden
of Charleston, who won the gander at
lhe raffle, says that be is a dis
reputable bird and la not worth the
money, snd that he cannot look him
in the face, but averts his eyes. And
Colonel Hemphill, the Charleston ed
ltor, adds that the hen Is the eldest
daughter of the cock that crowed on
the mom of the day the Mecklenburg
Declaration was proclaimed, and that
the gander Is Also a native of, North
Carolina,
The Chrlotte Observer makes a bit
Ins retort. It savs that the Hon. Phil
ip H. Oatisden cannot be an ornlthcW
glst or he would know that all Hong-
Kong ganders ars naturally so bashful
and modest that they always avert
their eyes when anybody looks "at
them. It further declares that both
gander and hen" were as beautiful as
birds of paradise when they left their
native dunghill In the Tar Heel State
Their present disreputable appearance,
he adds. Is due to the fact that they
have not had enough to eat since they
got to South Carolina. And so the
merry war goes on
In the meantime The Sun has re
ceived the following dispatch, which

J. C. HEMPHILL,

This courteous and flattering offer
we were compelled to decline In the
following reply, sent by telegraph:
Baltimore. Aug. 7. 1908.
Col. J. C. Hemrhlll. Editor of The News
snd Courier. Charleston, H. c:
Your gander offer received. Reeponsl
bll'ty too great. Moreover, our gander
editor re Tunes to do additional work dur
ing the hot weather. THE SUN.
This Hong-Kong gander Is a lineal
descendant of the geese that saved
Rome. He In destined to save Mr. Bry
an. His predestined and foreordained
mission Is to become the walking del
egate of the Democraticparty and the
Wisklnsky of the Bryan campaign
fund. He has already extracted $25
from the tight wads of Charleston,
and his career has Just begun with
that marvelous achievement. Shall we
voluntarily assume the responsibility
for the care of this momentous gan
der? Not If we know It. If anything
happened to the gander and he were
unable to continue his whirlwind tour
and the Democratic party was in con
sequence defeated, the whole blame of
that great tragedy would be put on us.
The responsibility Is too great for us.
We frankly confess that we are not
equal to so tremendous an undertak
ing. But the triumphal march of the
Democratic gander must not be stop
ped by our Inability to cope with the
situation. We are proud to say that
there is a cltlien of Baltimore who
fully measures up to the occasion. We
refer Colonel Hemphill to the Hon. S.
S. Field, a gallant Bryanlte. jjwho Is
always ready for any enterprise in be
half of his chief, no matter how haz
ardous. He Is the only person worthy
of the honor of raffling the great
Hong-Kong gander. He Is the original
Bryan man, and so earnest In his en
deavors to elect lhe Peerless Leader
that the heaviest responsibilities are
as light as the thistledown to him.
If the Hong-Kong gander could get
$25 out of the Democrats of Charles
ton for the glorious cause of the peo-
pis, he should bs able to get as great
a sum from the Democratic party of
Baltimore. Possibly he might get $30.
Mr. Field would certainly not neglect
so great an opportunity to render his
party a signal service. Let the Hong
Kong gander begin his march Into the
enemy's country. He Is the boy to put
predatory wealth to flight and to
humble the corporations and the
money kings.

The announcement that Cot
Frank A. Dillingham, prominent
manufacturer, orator and traveler:
the public spirited American, , who
calls the ' whole United States ' his
home, and every one of Its lnhabl
tants hi personal friends and neigh
bors, is in this city and has caused
a perceptible ripple of excitement.,
Those who are Intimately acquaint
ed with Colonel Dillingham know
that his visit will be an event In the
history of this section, and that
within a few days after his arrival
every man, woman ana cniia in
Charlotte' will bs numbered among
the thousands who call him friend.
There are many men In the country
who are looked upon as popular
idols, but. In nearly every case, their
popularity may be attributed to
some office, profession or particular
line f public service which has
thrown them In close contact with
the public. Colonel Dillingham Is a
private cltlsen, neither holding nor
seeking public office, but devoting
every hour of his life to the attain
ment of his one object, and that is.
to merit and hold the friendship of
every person with whom he comes
In contact.
One of the striking characteristics
of Colonel Dillingham Is his marked
aversion to doing anything In the
ordinary way. He Is a man of Ideas,
original Ideas, that cause people to
open their eyes In smazement and
wonder what his next move will .be,
Another conspicuous feature of this
man s character Is his strong deter
mination to do everything he at
tempts on a large scale. The ordi
nary acts of the ordinary man may
be enlarged or multiplied a hundred
times, to convey an adequate Idea
of the DHUngham method ot doing
things. Every man will freely give
away a dollar, but when such an
Impulse strikes Colonel Dillingham
nothing short of the distribution of
several thousand dollars will satisfy
the desire. This wholesale idea of
doing things is agsln Illustrated In
the matter of diamonds. Most men
are satisfied with the possession of
one- stone, but Colonel Dillingham
Indulges his fancy In this direction
to the extent of Wearing over one
hundred.
Thts idea of magnitude and
thoroughness has dominated the
whole life of the msn. In early life
he was urged to become a physician,
but decided that the field was too
limited. The alleviation of human
suffering appealed to his nature
strongly, but it must be done on a
wholesale plan, and here was born
the Idea which resulted lh the man
ufacture of Plant Juice from medici
nal herbs, an Idea which has brought
relief to millions of sufferers. This
satisfied Colonel Dillingham's ambi
tion to relieve his fellow man on a
gigantic scale, and made hjs name
household word throughout- tne
land.
On arriving In a city Colonel Dil
lingham's first idea Is to get ac
quainted with the people. Many
prominent citizens and business men
call at his hotel, but his desire to
meet the people, the great back
bone of the community, must bs
satisfied, and to accomplish this ne
