The world need 8, wants and re wards the man who does things. After the president hus decided not to take any more swings round the circle he announces that he will accept no more railroad pusses. There are opportunities for the poor boy who is faithful to his trust. There is hope for the boy who is not always looking at the clock to see how long it is until they on stop. The moveniQiit for local tax elec tions is guining favor everywhere. These local tax elections which sup plement the Slate funds are becom ing more popular. The people are taking advantage of this opportunity to provide the best tnissible school facilities. Every dollar expended in provii ing for better educational facilities for the children of today is a dollai invested for the great future which is in store for our Stale if we will only educate our children. We must look out for the children and give them the best possible edu cation. It is our duty to spend a part of our time and menus in pro viding better educational facilities in order that the children may be better educated aud may be better prepared fur citizenship. We have said btfore, time and again, and will continue to say it over that I he present system of road working is out of date, and while not entirely a waste of money, yet it is a very nnwise expenditure of the people's taxes. We should huve a road bond issue for macadam roads. Permanent roads that will last for generations is what wc need and must have. Now and then, a reader writes the editor or calls at the ollice and thanks him for his persistent efforts in behalf of good roads and good schools. There are others who speak of it as a "fool's errand'' and talk about our poverty. Yes, we are poor, and always will be until we have better roads and good schools. One of the arguments offe:ed why children should go barefooted is that under ' the present cost- of living, caused by the control of prices by trusts and monopolies, the average parent is not able to buy shoes for his children. llorse trading is a high art as practised by some. A few weeks ago a near by county farmer sent his son accompanied by a neighbor's son to the county scat to purchase some farm machinery. On arriving a horse trader approached the boys for trade oi swap offering the young man who had his father's mule $15 to boot. The young man said he didn't want to trade and could not trade the mule. In a few minutes the trader came to him with $20 and said take this or nothing. The boy looked for the mule and it had been taken away by a colored man and a crippled horse left in its place. The young men went in search of the male and on finding it the trader says I have bought this mule of this colored man and yon can't have it. The boys told the trader to take the $20 back, but he refused to do so. The young men took the old crippled horse worth probably $25 arid the $20 in money home while the horse trader went his way with the $150 mule. The father went to town aud employed a lawyer and while claim and delivery papers were being pre pared the horse trader spirited the mule away and the poor farmer was greatly worried over the situation as he had nothing with which to culti vate a crop. Superior court was coming on he was greatly dishearten ed. He went to court, and present ed the matter to the proper author ities and within half an hour after the grand jury assembled a bill for larceny was found against both the horse trader and the negro confeder ate for stealing the property of the plaim old farmer. The horse trader was mighty bad off when the sheriff went to a Test him too sick to go to court and procured physician's certificate as to his critical illness. He intimated that some money could be had if a compromise could be rranged.

I ported as it was by that of ten or The Democratic Contention ; fifteen inoweis and simmers of fruit Virtually Admitted. Sciul Otirrosnimlciicti of the Conner. And now is the winter of our dis content made glorious summer by the President of the United States and his pet cabinet officer, Secretary Tuft. The decision by the latter, backed up bv the former, that ail the sup plies for the new Panama Canal must be purchased any old place in the wide world where they can be the cheapest, has just raicd merry old Ned and things are poppin around here like unto a new Texas saddle or a painted bladder. The stand-patters are now standing on their hind lees, wildly waving their ears und pawing the earth; they do not want the tariti disturbed aud they see in this order of the Presi dent the verv essence or quintessence of tariff revision and tnat downwards, The democrats are fueling bully over the thi ig, because it proves absolute ly their contention that the piotec tive tariff has put up the price of things manufactured in the United States to the consumers, else why would the administration admit that these things could be bought cheap er in foreign countries? It proves absolutely tho contention of the democrats in their lust campaign book, that pi iocs of American made goods could be bought tor less in luieiL'u countries because he A men cat) manufacturer made cheaper pi ices to the foreigu merchant than he did lo the merchant at home, and we proved it by producing the prices given to foreign merchants which were from tell to fifty per cent, cheaper to the foreigner than to the American merchant. Now when the President comes forward and pioves our contention by saying that he can buy the structural steel work foi the canal, w hich will cost about $110,000,000, for. $20,000,000, thereby saving about $10,000,000 to the American taxpayers in the cost of the construction of the canal, it is an argument for the demociats that can not he ignored and that surely will come up in the next session of the Congress and in which the demo crats will eternally hammer the im mortal ichor out of the stand pat re publicans on the tariff question, it opens up the whole tariff question in the next session and there are going be warm times when the Congress meets next October, as it is the avowed intention of the Presi dent to call the extra session in Oc tober to get action on the railroad rate fixing question, lie is going to be disappointed in the thing that he desires U attain in the late fixing business because there is a growing feeling, since this Senate Committee commenced its work here, and be cause of the testimony that has been adduced, that the Interstate Com merce Commission is a disciedited governmental agency and has not got sense enough to nx rates, even it it were given the power, that the hlkins law in connection with the Sherman anti-trust law is entirely sufficient to prevent rebates und other discriminations, provided the present law is enforced that now is on the Btatute books. In the lan guage of Kudyard Kipling, however, the railroad rate business is another story and I will touch upon that later. The thing now uppermost in the minds of the democratic leaders who arc here in the capital of the nation, is the question of the tariff aud the mine it opens up for the next session of the Congress when the republicans get gay about the old schedules of the Uingley bill and the demand that they be continued or raised, as in the language of Congressman Mc- Cleary, of Minnesota, "the only wav lo lev.w; Hie uum 10 ui.nuiua. They will point to tho object lesson of the President coming out in the open and admitting the democratic contention that the consumer pays the tariff tax. If he docs not then why does the President insist that it will cost the people of the United States more to buy the things neces sary to dig the canal in the United States than to go outside and buy them in the markets of the world? The whole thing is in the interest of the democratic party and the next campaign for the House of Repre sentatives will hinge ou the tariff question and the result will be that the next House will be democratic. The people are with Roosevelt aud the politicians aud the tariff barons are against him. lie will put the republican party in such a hole ami soap the sides und pull up t he ladder before the next presidential election that no republican can succeed Inui. The democratic uullenium has arrived. The hearings before tho Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce that now is probiujr the railroad situ ation is still the thing of public interest here in Washington. This week the testimony before the Com mittee has turned principally Uon the private car line system of the country and its relation to the ship per and the grower of bciries and traits. So much has been said about the private car lines being eng.ged in the giving and receiving' of re bates, giving them to shipper and receiving them from railroads, that the testimony to the contrary pro duced before the Senate Committee this week has been decided snr- 1 prise. Based on the statements of ha 1 been carefully inculcated in the 'o B,Bd th,tJthe whole prlVlte I ' , ..., WM. hoiioveombed with rs- bates. The testimony of George B Robbius, President of the Armour comiiig from all parts of the coun tiy, caused the Senators loopeu their eves. Mi Hobbius testified that whan the Klkins anti-rebate law went into effect the most stiingent orders were issued to all the em ployees of the Armour Company that no rebates should be given or accepted and those orders had been carried out to the letter. Much had been made ov.r the testimony of a man named Streych mans, a former employe of the jumuur company at, oacrauieuiu, Oaf., before the Interstate Uom merce Commission. Bobbins show- ed that Slreychmans had been iu the oil ice only about a month, during which time he occupied himself principally with making carbon copies of confidential letters, copy ing records and iu other respects preparing to betray the confidence of his employers. When leaving, he stole the cipher telegraph code which is used by all employes ot the com pany sending telegrams as is thecase with all large business houses to save telegraph tolls. Having thus be trayed his employers he proceeded to turn it to his protit and sell the same to a Kan Francisco newspaper which, somewhat amusing to note, paid Streychmuns with railroad pusses. It illustrates the methods of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion that a special hearing was called in Chicago, ostensibly as a "general hearing in the matter of transporta tion of freights by common carries in cars not owned by common car riers, and then produced only one witness affectum the Armour car lines und that witness was a self confessed thief and whose testimony had been published six months be fore in several newspapers. When a man named George F Mead, one of the complaining witnesses, followed Mr Itobbius and offered to produce Streychmuns lo testif? before the committee, he was asked about the character of Streychmuns and stated that btreychmans hail admitted stealing the records. "He had to admit it," said Mead, "the evidence was so plain he could not help it. Mr liohbins, in his testimony, showed the committee that the inter ests of the car lines and the growers were identical m t.iat to encourage the business the car lines were com pelled to give the lowest rates and best service possible. ovv, then, 1 don t care a rap tor the car lines or the railroads, but this testimony up here before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce is the most interesting thing that has come up for a long time here and is something that the great common people of the country aie more deeply interested in than anything else for it directly affects their purses. 1 hats why l am de voting so much of the space in these letters to the subject. The people get an erroneous idea about public matters here in Washington simply because a paper gets and prii.ts mat ter written from a biased standpoint. I am simply trying to tell the truth in the interest of fair play to the people and to the corporations. This thing ot cussing eut the corpora tions simply because they are cor porations is all nonsesce. There al ways are two sides to a question. Let's eet both sides and then draw our deductions as to the truth. I frankly admit that my sympathies are with the people and their griev ances, when they have any, and when the people, the growers or iruit, come here and voluntarily testify that they could not do business and would be put out ot business unless the private car line people did not give them the service they do and that they are perfectly satislied witn the service and the charges therefor, then it behooves me to tell the truth. I will pursue this subject further in my letters and give to the readers of this letter some of the testimony of the peoitle out iu the woods who grow the fruit and who come here and say that they want the private car line service and tell w hy they want it. The receut pronouncement of President Koosevelt nd Secretary Taf t, in favor of railroad rate legis lation, and the directly opposite po sition of Secretary Morton, is a manifest evidence of tne rupture in administrative ranks over that issue that democrats have been expecting aud hoping for. A majority of the Senatorial com mittee, which for a month has been engaged in a bearing on this matter, re with Morton, ihe trend ot the h wines show that the bill that the Senate Committee will evolve when these hearings are ended will em phasize their position. They will not offer a bill extending the powers of the Interstate Commerce Com mission to rate making. Theii po sition is, has been, and will be that that body how has all the power necessary to remedy theevils of which the c jiratry complains, through the proper enforcement of the laws now CONTINUE Those who ar graining ftoah .n1 strength by regular treat ment with Scott's Emulsion tthould continue the treatment In hot weather! smaller doae inda little cool milk with It will do away with eny objection whloh Is attached to fatty pro ducts during the heated season. nd few frw sjnlc SCOTT a ROWNI.

This the majority hold will be all that is necessary to remedy any abuses that exist. 1 he ma jority will make one report, possibly two, one calling for more radical legislii' tion, more in accord with President Uooscvelt's ideas, and the other lay ing the ground work for the demo cratic position, which it is strongly inumuted will voice w J J'.ryan s sentiments. Ihusthe line of battle will be formed. Ilailroad men are well sulisiieil with their strategic position. Their witnesses have shown that placing the rale making power with the Commission will practically be con flscatory, and destructive to their interests. This, Attorney-General Moody has said to be uneonstitu tiouul, and will be so held in tin courts. They have shown by a score or more of business men, all heavy snippers, that the placing of the rate making power with the Commission would be unsatisfactory to them, and that they prefer to huve the railroads continue to make rates, granting tin Commission at most the right to ap prove or disapprove of them. Thev have shown, too, that the Hat rate per ton per mile, which is the onlv rate that the Commission could establish in fairness to nil sections of tho country, would, in operation, be prohibitive against the corn ami wheat growers ot the great .North and North cst, and the stock raisers of the Southwest. Under such a law, they could not get their produce to the sea coast at a figure that would enable them to compete in the markets of the world. They have shown also that such rates would bring about an industrial and agri cultural upheaval us well us Ltein. d-structive to the railroad properties- Nothing has been shown to offset this except that the middlemen, represented by Mr Kacnn, would profit by the change; that neither producers nor consumers would as a whole benefit in the least. There the railroads rest their ease; and the republican Senate, which is against Uoosevclt and his agitation, are con tent. The people must look to the demo cratic party and to their control of Congress for relief. This Congress will not give it to them, that is cer tain. And government ownership of public utilities will be the demo cratic shibboleth in the opinion of some of the shrewdest political ob servers. CIIAS. A. EDWARDS. NAT CRUMP CAPTURED. Was Shot by a Possa and Seriously Wounded Afterwards Captured by Two Boys. Nat Crump, colored, who filed upon II Clay Gubb and Clarence Thompson from ambush the first of last week while on their way to Sal isbury from their homes in ISoonc township in Davidson countv, was captured Saturday near Old Kort in Mciiowell county by two moun tain boys yet iu their teens. These young men weie members ot Mierilt Marslihurn's posse and together with the posse had hoarded the tiain at Old Fort to go to Swnnnanoa Tuni.el to watch for Crump, who had been seen in the afternoon head ed that way. While going up the mountain Crump tried to board the train. The two young men got the engineer to stop the train further ou aud let them off w here they waited until Crump came up. They told Crump to halt and he tried to draw a pisto'. One of thebuvs tired on him and as he turned to run the other one shot hitting him in the shoulder, both shots taking effect, wounding him painfully. Crump was brought back to Old Fort where he was attended by a physician. At first he denied his identilv, but afterwards admitted shooting at Grubb aud Thompson. Sheriff Uorsett went up to Old Kort Sunday and took the prisoner back wit h him to Lexington. There was a reward for Crump of $."i(0 which will be paid Lytic and Porter, the two boys who effected his captui e. Crump is now in Davidson county jail where his wounds are being at tended by a physician, lie has made a full confession to Sheriff Dorsett aud others, but who is implicated in the confession as accomplices lias not been mado public.

I'.y 1 1. .V T- i.-.i.l.iu, ..I ( Lillet,-. The building and loan association is not iu i'self, even in its best form, a primrose path to fortune. It is, in a feeble way, and for this world, like the plan of salvation. It is simply an opportunity to those who, iu its absence, might despond and be lot. It (hies nothing for the man or wo man who is unwilling to try. In this chapter will be discussed the opportunities it furnishes. It makes a great difference whether the operations of a building and loan association are conducted in a grow ing town or iu one that is retrograd ing or standing st.ll. In a progres sive town rents are high. There fore in a progressive town rents will come nearer paying dues aud interest on a loan to build a house than in a town that is not progressive. To the individual the opportunity is simply a question of getting wages. Even in a slow town and at cheap rent a family would be better off to join an association and build a house for themselves. Many a tune in Pennsylvania and North Carolina t!.e lust dawn of awakening and prospeiity fiU' a tow n has been due to , the act of the working people in the organization of a building and loan association. When working people abandon rented houses und apply , thiir wages to payment on houses of their own. then capitalists are com pelled to make in vestments in enter prises that make more occupation. more wages and moie wealth. 1 will ve some examples. While working as a machinist and iu other capacities for the licthlc- liem Iron to. in l'eiinsylvania, 1 saved money enough to buy a lot. I joined n luiildini: aud loan associa tion and burrowed money enough to build a hou-e on the lot'. The par value of a share was $21)1!. I sub scribed for and borrowed on seven hare, making a moitgagc debt of $MdOut per cent, interest. I he dues on the shares were $T a mouth, mil the interest ($1,4(10 at U per cut.) was more. This made $11 a month 1 hud to pay. It required about 10 vears for the stock to ma- t u it- and bring the shares to the par value of $200. I rented the house for $l.'i a month. While I had to pay $11 a month for 1(1 years loown the bouse, the tenant paid mo $15 a month, at the end of 10 years he owned none (if the property he had paid for. I owned a lot oi about ieet frontage on College street in Char lotte, N. C, with one negro cabin ou it. I reconstructed the cabin to make a neat workinguian's cottage w ith two rooms und kitchen. I built j two other similar cottages, each on; 25 feel of the lot. The recons' ruc tion of the old cabin into a cottage cost $10(1. The new cottages cost , riO each. I borrowed 0H0 from the building and loan associa tion. This required six shares at 1 00 each. Dues were $ii a month: interest at li per cent, was s , nmk- $;i a mouth. The houses rent for $1 a month eaidi. I pay out .-'.! .tnd collect ef!2. In six and one- half years the tenant- pav for the cot'ages for me and pay me a sur plus besides. In both the above cases there arc some expenses, sucli us insurance, taxes, and repairs, which have not been taken into account, both are at her exceptional and favorable :ise. Jilt L eu'ii when rent money can be made to pay for a house a man will sometimes figure and hgure to show that u bank loan at simple interest is cheaper than a loan from the building and loan association. Even when an ordinary loan can be made, the differential cash advant age of it over the building and loan method is of small consequence. The main difference is that the building md loan plan leads the hoi row er jreiitlv, easily and surelv, though somewhat forcibly, out of debt. If it ;e a home he has built, bis imii t- iue is being every week reduced, und w ill ccrt.iitilv be cancelled at the I of the term of the series, l'.v my other plan of borrowing, inatui- ities of debt and interest are fur apart. Interest alone becomes a lump sum, and unless it hus been accumu lated by installments ut home it is hard lo pay. Deficiencies soon bring discouragement, and by discourage ment many a house is lost and goes lo the in 'iievlelider, und he is blam ed for what is no fault of his.

The great advantage of the building and loan association lies iu the installment payments and the little coercion to compel regularity. It is sometimes argued that the early borrowers are at a disadvantage. They pay interest through the life of the series, while the last man pays no interest at all. it is lorgot ten that the lirst man has the u.m.' of the money or flic use of a houc rent free during the whole life of the series, while the last man may have been paying rent all the time. If a borrower uses u loan to pay for a house and moves into it he saves his former rent against the interest paid.

Tim average tenant refuses to make repairs that he could well luake. He always makes the land lord spend money. Therefore the hnidloid must gel rent enough to pay for repairs. Thus the tenant pays in cash for something that he could as well do without, and would do if he owned the house. (Continued in next issue.) Conditions in Boone Township. Davidson County.
