GrOLDSBOHO, IN". C.t THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1908. VOL. XXTI 1 if ,n - V1 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. President finely and his Great Railroad, The Southern, sire Active in Building up the Southland. Washington, D C, Spt. 30. Editor Argus, Goldsbor, N. C. Dear Sir: In their replies to my letter ot J!ry 31, 108, on the subject ot diversifica tion of Southern agriculture and indus tries, some ot the editois to wtom it was sent asked me to write to them from time to time on matters -of inter est to th people of our section. This has led ine to take the liberty of ad dressing you on a topie ot icnportance tr nit our Tieorle ai& especially to the farmers ot the iSout-k. If the farm is to ie profitable it must not merely prodwe nbuDdant crops, but its products saust be put where they can be sold. By whatever means of transportation they may ultimately be carried before they reach the final consumer, our farm products move primarily ovr the country highway and the condition f ttoe road leading Irom the farm to the Snipping point or to a nearbv consuming center, such as a manufacturing town, affects material ly the profits oi the :larmr and th value of his farm. The condition ot the road controls the size ot the load that can be hauled over it and the speed at which it can be carried. An improvement by which the tanner is enabled to carry, with the same vehicle and the same team- a load seventy-five or one hundred per cent heavier, will result in a substantial saving in his time and in the wear and tear of his vehicles and teams. The construction ot good roads leading from a market town has practically the same effect as bringing the larms nearer to the town. It extends by several miles in every direction tho area ot territory in which , farmers can profitably 'engage in mar ket gardening and dairying. That this is true has been effectively demon strated in those localities in the South ern States and in other sections of the country where road improvements have been carried out intelligently and sys tematically. The cost to the farmer of hauling his products overpoor roads is not always appreciated, for the reason that it is rare that a farmer pays fer having his hauling done. TheTJnited States De partment of Agriculture has made an investigation ofthis matter, however, and the results show the cost lor cot ton, tor instance, to an average rate ot twenty-seven eents per ton per mile fer an aveiage haul of 11;8 miles. That road improvement would materially reduce this cost. is shown by the follow ing striking! statement in the Year Book of the Agricultural Department f r 1006 H i w possible to increase the average weight ol a wagonload et cot ton in the United States from three sales, as it now is, to four bales, with eut increasing the cost of hauling load, the saving on a crop equa. to the one picked in 1905 would amount te S2.0OO.OOO: and if the average load ef -wheat, now 5 bushels, were increased by 20 bushels, the saving effected in hauling a crop like that ef 1905 would be more than S8,000,000." In addition to what jnay be termed the eommercial aspect of good roads they have a highlyj social aspect as well. They bring the farmer inte closer touch with the world at large. He and his lamily are not forced to re main at home for days at' a time be cause the condition of the roads - may make traveling unpleasant if not diffl cult. Good roadsiinsure efficient and prompt rural mailj deliveries, placing the newspaper onftbe table of the far mer early on the day of its publication, enabling him to transact much of his business by mail and tol take advant age of early information as to fluctua tion in the priees of his farm products. Good roads mean that the farmer and the membersfof his family can enjoy to a greater degree the society of their neighbors and friends in the town and country. They mean that his children can be more regularin "school attend ance and can reeeiye to a "greater de gree the advantages of education. They mean the bringing closer together oi the town and gcountry, with ad vantages on both sides, ior as the far mer is benefited byjbeirg brought iiito closer touch with the town, so all the business interests of the! town prosper as the result of thefacility with which the farmer andhis family can do their shopping. Good'roads also benefit the inhabitants of tewns and jf'cities by af fording facilities forB pleasant country drives. They invite the business man to the establishment f country and suburban homes, sueb as he can enjoy only when he is assured that the con dition ol the reads will be such as to enable him to reach his place ef busi ness promptly hnall kinds of -weather. I think it may truthfully be said that there are few wratters ot smoh general i-mportance to all the people of any community ira the provision of good reads, and I believe, therefore, that all ot us who feave the progress and pros perity of the South at heart should do all in our power to aid in the creation of a public opinion favorable to road improvement. The system that should be adopted jn any locality is one on which it would not be proper for me to tender advice, even if I were quali fied to do so. It is necessarily a mat ter that can beet be determined by the people directly interested and who are acquainted with the peculiar needs and conditions -in their "neighborhoods. The interest -of this company in good roads as a means ot aiding in Southern development was evidenced in a very practical way when, a few years ago, in co-operation with the National Good Roads Association and the De partment of Agriculture, it sent a spe cial good roads train over the system, carrying road-building machinery and expert read builders, who built short stretches of object-lesson roads and de livered addresses at central points where good roads conventions were held. The land ana industrial depart mentof this company is keeping in close touch with the goed roads move ment throughout theterritory traversed by its lines and will be glad, at all times, to co-operate with the oeople of any locality by giving information, or in any other practicable and reasonable way. Yours qery truly, W. W. FOLEY, President. THE INLAND WATERWAY. Ex-Governor Ay cock Will Be One of the Speakers : at the Balti more Congress. Ex-Governor Chas. B. Ayeock has been invited to address the Inland Waterway Congress at Baltimore No vember 17-19. This information was given out yesterday by Capt. A, W. Styron, of Washington, N. C, one of the best informed men on the water way project in North Carolina. Capt. Styron will also attend the Baltimore Congress. There are few men more enthused on the subject than Capt. Styron. He stated tbat the inland waterway would mean more to North Carolina than any thing else that could be devised; that it would reduce ..freight rates on the railroads, compelling the transporta tion lines to give reasonable rates, and that it would direct freight from" Nor ielk to the North Carolina ports.' The Interstate Commerce Commission, he declared, would force the railroads to di iver eight it steamers at por in this ace. At Chicago on the 7th', 8th and 0th another inland waterway convention will be held. BANKERS' LAST DAY interesting Discussions of Living Is sues. Denver, Oct. 1. Delegates to the an nual convention of the Bankers Asso ciation commenced the last day of ac tual business with an instructive enter taining program. The most important business of the day consisted ot the report of the cur rency commission and addresses by Alexander Gilbert, of New York, on "Vital issues, "and by John S. Randall, Member of Congress, on "Conservation ol Natural Resources." At the opening of the session the vice-President made a five minutes talk on business conditions obtaining in various states. There will be a big automobile pa geant this afternoon, the families of delegates being shown about the city. The speech of Congressman Randall made a great impression, in the course of which he said tbat it was natural that bankers should be interested in the conservation of the resources of land. , ' .'

Eliot, president of Harvard University, has publised a statement directed against the entire protective system, which he says leads to monopoly and is an injury rather than a benefit to the main tenance of American wages or Ameri can standards ot living. He speaks without partisan bias, without a bit of demagogism, from a scholar's point of view only. The entire statement should be published by millions and placed in the bands ot American voters. Dr. Elliot goes on to show that pro tection postpones and obstructs the effective entrance of American pro ducts into the markets of the world. Our industries, including agriculture, turn out more salable material than we can consume, and the tariff compels ua to produce the material at swolleu prices. We eannot sell . ad vantageously tariff-taxed articles in the markets of the world. Protection has destroyed American shipping by preventing us from eon- ductinr a profitable earrying trade with other nations. Where we would sell we must buy, and the tariff slips In to veto such an exchange. While the tariff wall remains subsidies can not bring us a profitable ocean carry ing trade. But above all ele the tariff confers privileges by law on individual men or -small classes of men. Equality be fore lhe law has been abolished, and we now grant privileges to favored men of classes even beyond those granted by despotic and aristocratic governments. The tariff is coVered with the nause ous slime of a pretended altruism. .The chief objection, says Dr. Eliot, to pro tective legislation is a moral one namely, that it diminishes the enter prise, self-reliance and sense ot justice of the population as a whole. It works injustice at home and eontraets Ameri can excifAMges abroad. Two genera tions of voters have been hoodwinked with a word "protection." No re visien will answer because the tariff rates on almost all products are many fold the differences in labor cost. This is why the American manufacturer sells his iroods abroad at muck lower priees than he sells at home. Tbe pro tective tariff is simply a tax paid hi the great body ef consumers, not t the .government for its support, but to privileged lets ot capitalists which produce protected articles. It creates monopolies who do not ned to study toreign and improved methods. Mo nopolies are always unprogi essive, and Dr. Eliot presents a strictly reve nue tariff as the only road out of the mesh ot monopolies that Dingleyism has created. Ti Cinsenrs j Fair Deal. (Special tothe A bhuh. .New York, Oct. I Manufacturers ol railroad equipment representing 1,000 separate eonoerns, organized yester day to combat the persistent attacks made en railroads. George A. Poet, who has been chosen president, said today tbat in the last year many of their concerns had suf fered not less than 75 per cent in bus iness because of the inability of rail roads to purchase supplies, and that inability was largely the result of th" hostile feeling engenered towards roads lathe minds of the public by hostile criticism and the ol-jeet of this as seeiation is to offset this feeling. It is not a partisan body, but purely a business move. Ther is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in eurable. For a grreat many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing: to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken nternally in doses from 10 drops to "a teaspoon fuil. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollais for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY & Co..

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1 "I am going to be elected." This statement made tonight by William H. Taft sums up in a word what the candidate thinks of the ef fect of his speech-making tour thus far. The belief is based, Mr. Taft ex plained, on the manner ot his recep tion in States thus far traversed in which there were reported to be de fections among the Republican ranks. As to the national ticket, Mr. Taft be lieves that there is now no reason to doubt but that the Republican party will hold its own, and should this prove the case, Mr. Taft says there is no doubt that he will get the electoral vote of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Da kotas, Iowa and Nebraska the States as to which the defection was sup posed to exist. Thirteen speeches were made by the candidate today in a swing around the southeastern part ot Nebraska and terminating at Omaha tonight, where two big meetings, one for the benefit of the stock yard employes in South Omaha, the other in the Auditorium, were held. The crowds were larger than usual at the short stops. Throughout the day Mr. Taft con fined his speeches to picturing condi tions under the last Demecratie ad ministration and contrasting them with Republican rule. As he has done duiing the two days in Nebraska, he did not fail to pay his respects to Bryan whenever he spoke. On severai occa sions he delivered his labor speech and declared to be a lie the statement that he had ever declared that one dollar a day was enough for any laboring man. Omaha's reception of the candidate was in keeping with tbat accorded him at Lincoln last night. Taft's spe cial train left Omaha tonight for North Platte, where the first speech will be made Friday morning.

Ii commenced on my legs and arms, and finally covered the greater part of my body. I suffered for about three years. My scalp around the edges of my hair was a complete ring of scales and crusts. The disease was more dis figuring than can be imagined, and heat and perspiration caused my flesh to be as if on fire and I could not keep my hands away from it at times. I was given salves and medicine repeat edly by each physician, and advised to wash frequently in soda and water, but nothing cured me. Then I read of the wonderful Cuticura Remedies and decided I would try them, and I am glad to state openly that by con stant use as directed for two months I am entirely cured. I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap, three boxes of Cuti cura OintmenJ, and the same number of bottles of Cuticura Pills. I will gladly tell about Cuticura to those whom I see in need of a skin cure.
