CAROLINA m M-M m m m m m m m m wt m m m m m m m m t ms s sx ss gag -n n -in- n- wx w xfeK ami mm lis m North Carolina as Furniture Man ufacturer. SUcon Telegraph. North Carolina's progress in the manufacture of furniture is an interesting and inspiring ob ject lesson for other Southern States to venture into new fields of enterprise. "Between 1900 and 1905," says the Manufactur er's Record," "the number of furniture manufacturing plants in North Carolina increased from 44 to 105, the capital invested in them from $1,023,374 to $4,621, 994, the number of wage-earners from 1,759 to 5,164, and the value of the output from $1,547,305 to $6,121,619, raising furniture mak ing from the seventh to the fifth place in the rank of the State's industries. This notable advance has come about through the utili zation at home of some of the vast hardwook resources of the State under the spur of experi ence at High Point that has changed that place within less than 20 years from a small town to the leading furniture manu facturing center of the South. . A promise of still further reali zation of potentialities on this line is given in the fact that a Concord (N. C.) store is exhibit ing in one of its windows a set of furniture made by five boys of that town who are members of the freshman class of the tech nological department of New berry College, S- C. When the young men of any State take pride in making part of their education the acquiring of skill in turning into marketable pro ducts the raw material for in dustry of their State, proof is given that breathing the indus trial atmosphere is having a most practical and gratifying effect. It would be well for North Caro lina if it had at least 10,000 of its young menN in institutions of its own training themselves to be come the prime sharers in the benefits of North Carolina indus trial development." The manual training which would teach our Southern young men to achieve practical results in this and other similar direc tions is indeed a valuable adjunct to the educational system which should not be neglected.

A tentavive decision has been reach by Chairman Sbonts, of the isthmian canal commission, that the Panama canal te built by contracts An announcement of the final determination of the canal officials respecting the method of construction is expect ed in a few days. The President is anxious that a conclusion be reached on all questions of canal constructions as soon as possible so that the actual work of construction may be pressed vigorously. In this connection it is under stood that the President has not abandoned his contemplated trip to Panama and will not unless the Cuban situation or some other question should become so acute as to require his presence in Washington. Chairman Shonts expects to be in Panama at the time of the President's visit, but it is likely that instead of accom panying the President, he will go to Panama in advance to super vise arrangements for his reception.

But in Nor way every horse has a bucket of water beside his manger, and as he eats he drinks. "It is interesting to see how the Norwegian horses relish their water with their meals. Now they sip a little from the bucket, now they eat a mouthful, then another sip, then another mouth ful just like rational human beings. "You never see a broken wind ed horse in Norway, and the na tives say it is because they serve water to the animals with their feed. Wasb It Down.

The county ticket recently nominated by the Republicans is gradually going to pieces. On top of the declination of Messrs McNeill and Taylor comes the announcement that Mr. Dan Car ter declines to run for sheriff It is also rumored that Mr. J. B. Downing will refuse to stand for the house. In this connection a rather amusing incident has occurred in regard to the head of the Re publican ticket, W. H- Baucom, nominee senate. He will not be able to vote, having failed to pay his poll tax. He was before the county commissioners Monday asking them to adjust matters so that the record would show that he had pud the tax, stating that he was away from here and left the matter with his wife. With the withdrawal of Mr. Carter comes the announcement, published in another column, of Mr. J. L. Allen as an independ ent candidate for sheriff. It is said that the Republicans will not fill the vacancy on the ticket. It pays to advertise. know you are king. Let the people Supreme Court Rules In Bank Case. Raleigh D gpatch.- That it is negligence for a bank receiving checks or other paper for collection to transmit it to the bank on which it is drawn is the ruling of the North Carolina supreme court in an opinion de livered last evening in Bank vs. Floyd, from Edgecombe coun-ty. The court holds further that when a paper is given to a bank for collection the bank's respon sibility cases on its selection of a proper slub-agent, such selection if made with care and prudence being a part of the contract be tween the collecting bank and the depositor. Also the ruling of general interest to bankers is made that a stipulation that items outside of the town of the collecting Dank are received at the owner's risk until receipt of actual full payment will not ope rate to relieve the bank from re sponsibility if it fails in the exer cises of proper care in placing the paper for collection. In the case at bar W. J. Floyd had deposited a check for $1,059 inthe bank of Rocky Mount. This was drawn on the Mer chants and Farmers Bank, of Dunn, and was sent to Murch- ison's bank, Wilmington, for col lection. This bank senU t direct to Merchants and Farmers bank, at Dunn, and this bank fiadi without making payment Ato Murchison bank which bv tho ruling of the court is held liable for the amount.
