DURHAM. N. C, Nov, 22. 1907.
The stringency in the money
market seems to have little to do
with the marriage industry in
this city, and for that matter
other places in this section.
Special tax districts are on
the increase in Durham county
and they must be good for none
of the communities that once
vote this special tax seem to want
to go back to the old way, and
new ones that have the light of
their experience to go by are
joining them.
Raleigh prohibitionists are
again up against it as their elec
tion will not be held owing to
some technicality in calling of
the same. However, if they have
a majority of the voters on their
side it will only be a matter of
time when they will be able to
carry their point and the delay
if caused by friends that favor
the dispensary will lose them
votes.
Die Financial Storm Dying liar.
Every intelligent observer must
bive noted thit with the excep
tion of a few New York institu
tions, banks all over the country
have stood entirely unshaken by
(he financial troubles. Failures
have passed the insignificant nor
mal average very little if at all
As a role, wise foresight was
shown, and ever tfnce the New
York outbreak the practically
Universal disposition has been to
err on the side of caution. Tak
ing Into consideration of prone
ues3 of scary people to make fools
of themselves in times like these,
banks guarded againstsuch possU
bilitiea more than amply, The
bank? of Charlotte, the South and
ti country at large are to-day
c irrying altogether exceptionally
haavy reserves of money and cur
rency. Whenever such "devices
as clearing house certificates and
limited cash withdrawalsappeared
even remotely necessary to render
banks fool-proof as well as facili
tate the community's business
they have been unhesitatingly
adopted. The scary person was
given the least possible chance or
excuse to injure the common wel
fare, and in point of fact his
activities were very moderate.
He increased and has prolonged
the money tightness, but this
tightness and the resulting injury
has been such as arose almost en
tirely from the need of caution
which his very existence created.
While it cost something to guard
against his making wreckage,
the cost was paid and he made
none. He cannot further hurt,
but he can now turn helper and
is in fact beginning to do so.
Whatever general business con
traction may be ahead, the
financial crisis has been safely
weathered, and the hoarders, re
gaining confidence with time,
becomes a rational human being
once more. Already, hoarded
Extern money is returning to
circulation in response to offers
of premiums, and the Treasury's
forthcoming $100,000,000 three
per cent, certificate issue at par
virtually premium paying by the
government will accelerate the
movement Other government
relief measures will have the effect
of largely offsetting such insensate
hoarding as may still continue.
Finincial conditions in this coun
try to-day are so throughly and
visibly sound that only a man too
timid by nature tp be worthy of
the name can lack full assurance
regarding , them. -Charlotte

Death oIHrs. Beavers.
Mrs. Polly Beavers died at the
home of her daughter on Watts
street Tuesday. She had been
extremely close to death for
sometime, paralysis being the
cause of her I trouble, and her

bedside.

drews Chapel, , in the county,
where the interment took place.
The funeral service was conduct
ed from the home.
Mrs. Beavers hadlbeenextreme-

In the Hands of Eecelrer.
The jewelry firm of Jones and
Frasier, who have been .doing
business in Durham for several
years, is in the hands of a re
ceiver, W. J. Griswold of this
city having been appointed. Mr.
Griswold has given bond in the
sum of $10,000 and now has
charge of the business, which
will be closed out or settled up as
early as practical
Recently this firm endeavored
to sell off their stock by auction
so as to have ready cash to meet
their bills, but such effort did
not relieve the situation. The
assets of the company are given
at about $30,000 while the lia
bilities are put down at about
$13,000.
Before the present firm was
incorporated, the business be
longed to M. H. Jones and W.
G. Frasier became the principa
stock holders.
