fjrbaro ^M%ntcr ~ -pts A ug PCWBlili, Editor. ?&aimedEvery Thursday, Suoscription Rates$1.00 peryear ■u‘;red at Poetofflce at second clas* matter Thursday, October 1, 1908. . ^Xnother Teddy tirade is due to day. This is the season of the year j when the cotton crop is reported short whether it is or not, such is the anxiety of thefarmeis. Mr Roosevelt says that he is striving for the uplift of man, but he accuses gentlemed of lying, and when it is conclusively shown that only the truth was told, he has not the manliness to apologize. My man Friday Taft says that the guaranty of bank deposits is socialism, and he favors postal savings banks, naturally belong ing as he does • to the Wall street crowd. The people under his system would turn their savings over to the government receiving low rate interest bearing bonds, and the money will be lent to the banks without interest for the patriotic purpose of keeping it in circulation. A tuberculosis Congress is in session in Washington and dis tinguished specialists from nil parts of the world are *in council of war against a disease that makes Water loos and Sedans ap pear small in their comparative slaughter. It is not only hoped, but believed, that science will finally be successful in this con test. Specialists believe the dis ease to be eradicable. Honest and distinguished physicians the world oyer are becoming more and more reticent with reference to curative practice and are claim ing more and more for the means of prevention. The assembling in Washington of the largest and most distinguished convention of physicians that the world has ever seen, marks an epoch in war fare against disease. ABOUT BANKS. The most important result from a law guaranteeing bank deposits seems to be entirely overlooked or probably ignored by those who manage the banks, viz, the avoid ance of “runs’ ’ on banks. These “runs,” of course, would not be made if the depositors were not uncertain about the safety of their money. There are in these United States over 10,000 banks, whose deposits aggregate #13,000,000,000. 1 he money in circulation is less than one-fourth of this vast sum. So it is apparent that if all depositors wanted their money at once, they could not get it. Of real redemp tion money there is only about one tenth of what there is deposited in the banks. As long as the depositors have confidence in the financial sur roundings of the banks and their ability to pay across the counter, they are content to leave their money with the banks, but let it be whispered that the banks are not sound, or find it difficult to meet their demand obligations, runs set in and a panic ensues local or larger in proportion to the uncertainty about solvency. jno wonaer tne DanKers as a rule favor postal savings banks. They expect ths Government to take in the people’s money and then lend it to them without interest as is done now under the policy of graft of th e republican policy. During the year ending June, 1907, the Federal treasury de posited more than $100,000,000 in national banks. The Standard Oil bank in Kew York city and the two principals banks dominated by J. Pierpont Morgan received about 80 per cent of those deposits, and all other banks in the United States got 20 per cent. When the small banker hears arguments from republican sources setting forth that party’s solicitude for the banker, it might be well to remem ber the figures herein set forth; they are from the official reports at Washington. They are exceedingly interesting to bankers, as well as to others. CAUSE AND EFFECT. It is a wise man who seeing a re suit can tell the cause. Most of us essay to do this and congratulate ourselves if circumstances bear us out. As a motter of experience, we are not much more accuidte in ascertaining the cause for a given effect or resuit than we are in ip terpreting dreams. Many a man or party has been made the scapegoat for hard times or for other untoward conditions that oppressed the State. The narrow minded and the pre judiced ascribe the panic of 1893 to the Wilson Gorman tariff bill which did not go into effect until 1904. The prosperity following the Spanish war, was ascribed, not to the energy and thrift of the people, but to Bepublican legisla lation. The Southerner news columns chronicle an unusual local incident that had it failed to come this year but a twelvemonth hence, the cause assigned would have been entirely different. We allude to the vacant jail," not a prisoner in it. Had this event happened after the era of halos and crowns to be ushered in by legal prohibition, has any honest mind a shadow of a doubt that prohibition would have been de dared to have been the cause! The causes contributing to this happy result are many no doubt. The chief one was of course the re cent term of a criminal court. An other, we hope and believe is that our people are growing better With all the denunciation of Edgecombe by those who would legislate morality into the people, and the 30 saloons we believe that no county with 60 inhabitants to the square mile will show op bet ter on the criminal docket. GET READY. The new series of the Tarboro Building and Loan will open Sat urday. If you have not yet made up your mind how many "shares you will take to help yourself and at the same time to aid others. to own and build their homes, give the matter serious thought and be on hand Saturday at the Bank of Tarboro to do youf part in com munity improvement. ELECTOR BAILEY TO SPEAK. Tarboro Bryan-Kitchin Club Will Hold Meeting Monday Night And Hear a Great Speech. j. W. Bailey, an elector at large, has accepted an invitation to address the Bryan-Kitchin Club of this place liext Monday night. *A11 citizens ir respective of party, are invited to hear him. Mr. Bailey is-one oi iue foremost speakers in the Stats’. He is a strong, able man, as all who have read the Biblical Recorder, know, for he was for years its edi tor, only resigning the tripod about a year ago to devote his time to th* study of law. He is also a staunch Democrat of the old school, believing in the teach ings of Jefferson and Jackson. Those who hear him will enjoy his eloquence and earnest sincerity. PICKPOCKETS DID FLOURISHING BUSINESS TUESDAY. Secured $53 from Lady and Three Men who Attended Circus. Two pickpockets, a white man and negro, who are following Cole Bros, show gathered in at least four vic tims Tuesday night. A man from Fannville lost $9 and had 3 new suit of clothes badly slashed by the expert theif. Sol Mitchell was a vic tim to the extent of $8, Ben Knight was touched for $11, and a lady fro™ Farmville lost $25, which was in a chatelaine bag attached to her belt. These were reported to police^ au thorities. REGISTRATION BOOKS OPEN THURSDAY. Every Voter Should Register Prompt ly. Books Closed October 24th. The Register of Deeds, H. S. Bunn, has sent the Registration books to every to^frnship in the county. The books open Thursday and all resi dents who intend to vote at the com ing election should register prompt ly. The books will close October 24th. The books will be open each day to sunset. Neglect of registering will cause you to lose a vote. Practicing Deception. The republicans are making acam paign in this county that is not at all complementary to those whom they are "working on.” The voters sought an argument, who read the newspapers least and are the best “posted” on current policies. In this county they are inviting those who voted against prohibition to vote the republican ticket, because that party is opposed to prohibition. Any republican who makes such a statement knows that it is not true and only makes it to a man whom he thinks is too ignroant to know better. Thos. Settle, the ablest republican in the State offered a plank in the republican State platform favoring local option. It was voted down. Why if this party favored local op tion or opposed prohibition should such a plank be voted out? Mr. VoteTj when you find an Edge combe republican paying you atten tion you may as well make up mind, that he thinks that you do not know any better than to believe him. Dr. Hyatt Coming. Dr. H. O. Hyatt will be In Tar boro at Hotel Farrar, Monday, Tues day and Wednesday Oct. 13th, 14th and 15th for the purpose of treating diseases of the eye and fitting glass es.

AWomn Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Tarboro women know how the ache and pains that come when the kid neys fail make life a burden. Back ache, hip pains, headaches, dizy spells, distressing urinary troubles all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Bright’s disease. Doan's Kidney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here’s proof of it in a Tarboro woman’s words: Mrs. J. W. Wallace, of 1130 Al bennarle Ave., Tarboro, N. C., says: Doan’s Kidney Pills proved to be lan excellent remedy in my case and I am pleased to recommend them. I suffered constantly from backache an had distressing pains through my loins. 1 was restless at night and when morning came I felt tired and languid and found it very difficul to attend to my household duties. If' I stooped over sharp darting pains would catch me in my back and I was also caused considerable annoy ance by a weakness of my kidneys Reading about Doan’s Kidney Pills I procured them at Cook’s drug store and they banished my backaches and pains and regulated the action of my kidneys Since using Doan’s Kid ney Pills I am feeling better than before in several months and can highly recomend them to anyone suf fering from backache or any kidney weakness.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburii Co., Buffalo New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. To My Friends and Patrons.

Argument for Tariff Reform in a Mil lionaire’s Will. The other day was admitted to pro bate the will of William B. Leeds, wh left his wife the bulk of an estate amounting to upward of $1,000,000. Most of thl3 wealth was accumulated amounting to upward of $11,000,000. in a comparatively short space of time in the manufacture of tin plate. As there is a protective duty, or bounty, of $30 a ton on tinplate, it is not hard to account for the rap id accumulation of tariff spoil b) Leeds and his associates. Under the ] Democratic tariff of 1894 there was a duty (too high, in fact) of $20 a ton on tinplate. But that was not enough to gratify the greed of the combined manufacturers, and^through their Re presentative and attorney in Congres John Dalzeil, they secured an in _ in crease ul uu yci *** — — * the Dingley tariff. The tinplate asso ciation had sent out its corruption agents with abundant supplies of money to defeat Democratic mem bers of Congress who resisted its ra pacious demands and it claimed its re ward. For every article the tinplate trust produces including the empty din ner pail, American consumers must pay tribute to monopoly. The duty is, in fact, prohibitory. During the year 1907 the importations of tinplate a mounted to 64,705 tons of the value of $4,462,522. But all this goes back under drawback of the dnty as cov ering of meats, oil, fish, and othet American exports. Foreigners get the benefit of the drawback, and American consumers continue to pay an exorbitant tribute to the trust, one of the especial favorites off Re publican legislation. Is there any hop of a reduction of duty on tinplate should a Republican majority be elect ed to the next Congress? Not the slightest. A serious intimation of such a purpose on the part of Mr. Taft or Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee, would throw the trust Into so violent a spasm as would incontinently close its coffers against contributions to the Republican cam paign fund. But in the Democratic party there is no reticence on this subject: If the Democrats elect a ma jority to Congress and a President there will be an end of the inordinate tribute levied by the tinplate trust and its congeners upon the Americ people.—Philadelphia Record. Day of the Crumpled Gown. If one would be fashionable, one must be mussed! That is 4the edict which has recently gone forth from Paris, and as a result, the revenue of laundresses' is falling off, and the woman with the crumpled dress is the climatic note of fashion. This edict is a logical outcome of the fact that for some time starch has not been tolerated in the lingerie gowns. As it was impossible to keep an unstarched gown uncrinkled for more than fifteen minutes, the Parisienne bowed to the inevitable and decided that anyway, it was sort of provincial and Sunday-best to have your muslins and things all starched and unwrinkled. Consequent ly, the disheveled gown Ib now the triumphant note in woman’s ward robe. A Valuable Hen. C. R. Johnson, living near here, has a hen that has the habit of lay ing large eggs. One brought to this office, and is said by Mr. Johnson to be a fair sample, weighed 3 ounces with diameters of 6 and 7 inches. Most large hen’s eggs contain two yolks, the one brought here con tained only one and Mr. Johnson says that ttys others had only one. As nine average eggs make one pound, the laying questions of this fowl can be appreciated. Madam Johnson’s hen lays every other day. Such a hen is worth twice that of an ordinary one.
