D., - - EDITOR T io aaiW ma rtiQlifoKIa to a people who by a majority vote will oraer cue opening 01 bbiouubi lor tae retail . 01 lutuxicauug liquors or will allow in its midst tne existence or onna tigers, iuv ry good man mast feel that he who goes in open daylight or under cover of darkness into a a salooa and bays and drinks whiskey -as a beverage or thus patronizes a blind tiger has done a degrading act. He who does it might m reality to he degraded. No man possibly has the same respect for him or the same confi dence in him afterwards. How canthey? He has not only done himself, his family, bis commu nity, a wrong, but he ha3 helped to support these fountains of evil as in league with the great adver sary who is aiding every soul destructive agency on earth. It needs to be reiterated that every loyal follower of Christ is sol emnly committed to crush out blind tigers and close up and keep closed ail wbiskey saloons. This cannot be denied. Members of our churches hold almost every where the balance of power and if they wanted to crush blind, tigers and close up saloons they could do it. It appears to be a practical im possibility for the farmers to effect an organization and in its conduct steer befittinply aad wisely clear of politics. It appears to be uni. versally agreed nevertheless that history proves that running off into politics has without exception had the effect of defeating the ends aimed at and ends which might have been attained to. the betterment of the entire country. The Farmers' National Congress in Richmond, Va., we see turned aside from the scope of its work as we understand it and adopted 'resolutions favoring an income tax and the popular election of Senators. The merits of the reso lutions are not now under con sideration. The thing we wish to arrest is the habit of side tracking by the farmers when they plan to co-operate for the promotion of their interests. Let the shoemaker stick to his last if he would succeed in his business. So eucceBs can come to combinations of farmers entered into to advance their good ouly by sticking to the purposes they originally formed. It is easy to see that in co-operation con 'ducted loyally and carefully they can command proper prioes for their produce. In the Synod of the Presbyterian church in North Carolina there are 412 churches and 184 minis- ters. Every church is entitled to a delegate from its session. All the ministers an members of the body. Therefore if every church should be represented and all the ministers should be present at any one meeting the number to be en tertained would be 590. But it so turns out that ouly a few ol the churches are ever represented. We have never seen one-fourth ol them represented. Tha last Synod had in it 106 ministers and 65 elders. This Synod was above the average. It met at a very access ible and central point. We see no reason why there, should not be as many ministers however at the approaching Synod as was present "rifcftlMtr"And we see good reason why more elders may be xnected. The Synod will meet in the largest Presbytery of the Synod and in tbe oounty that, has more churches than any other, save one. Heretofore fifteen or .13 L A I T-1 time it would not be surprising if twe-fchirds of its 86 churches do not send delegates. Oliver Wendell Holmes' writes .something like this: ."You know that if yon bad a bent tube, one a m nf ohinh thn air a. of a. pipe stem, and the other big enough to hold the ocean, water would stand at the same height in one aain the other.

Don't sacrifice your life insur ance, the payment of which, when aue accorciiDg to contract, is as certain as the redemption of United States bonds, because you hear that there has been extrava gance and dishonesty in the man agement of this or that life insur ance oompany ! No matter what may have oc curred in the Equitable ; no mat A t A 1 ter wnai may nave occurred in any other of the great insurance companies, their policies are as sound as the United States Treas ury for every dollar tlrey promise to pay, and the person who sur renders a policy, receiving its cash surrender Talue is only injuring himself and his family. 'But,' the excited policy-holder may say, "1 can insure elsewhere. If you are in good heath you can, but even if in good heath you can not insure on as favorable terms as you insured in the first place, provided you go into one of the great companies, which, as we have said, are absolutely secure. If you fiive up your polioy in the Equitable or any other leading company, ana insure again m a company equally sound, you will have to4 pay higher rates all your life, on account of your increased age Leave well enough alone ! I be great companies have such immense sumluses that if thev closed up todiy, and did not write another dollar of insurance, they could pay up every policy in full when due, and then have millions of dollars left over. It is practi cally impossible, for any of the great companies to fail. We repeat to our readers who bold insurance policies in the Equitable and other companies of its rank don't surrender your policies; keep up your premiums, and thereby protect you families, whom vour Dolicv will helD and safeguard when you are no longer here to provive for themi The Daily News holds no retain- er from any of the insurance com panies, but its editor took out a $5,000 life policy paid up in twenty years in the Equitable Life, fourteen years ago, and he advises his readers as he acts him self. Hold on, pay your premi ums, make inquiry, do ail you can to promote and compel publicity, but don t get beared into sacrifice of your own interests, From New York Daily News, Aug 6, 1905.
