Entered as second-class matter Juna 2nd, 1905, at the post office at Ashe biro, N. C, under the act of Congress of March 3rd 1879. The Bulletin greets its many thousands of readers with best wishes for a hapy, prosperous year, the best year of their lives, the New Year, 1908. The enrollment for the fall term at the University was 764 an increase of 33 over the previ ous year. The spring term opens Jan. 2, 1908.

As floor leader of the democratic minority, Williams had offended De Armond in a certain committee appointment.

It should comfort his friends to know that he will survive a third defeat and still bean available candidate tor the democratic party for at least ten times more. No other holiday season has ever been attended by a larger number of tragedies and murders throughout the country than the one just passed. Liquor was the cause in every instance. The governor of Florida has just appointed William J. Bryan to fill the unexpired term of Senator Mallory, deceased. Al though bearing the same name, the Florida Bryan is not the Nebraska Bryan, neither is the Nebraska Bryan the Florida Bry an, but if there's anything in a name the new senator from the flowery state should soon become the "peerless leader" of the up per house of Congress. Denver is a great resort for those afflicted with consumption and other pulmonary diseases. This may account for Denver's capturing the democratic na tional convention. If the Colo rado city succeeds in cleansing and curing the democratic party, its reputation as a health resort will be forever established. WHEN THE COUNTRY WILL GETT ?! UNDER WAY AGAIN. JNew Jersey is not usually re garded as much of a credit to the n for "es; ana list shows that :st and South which worst, or at least re- frightened longest. Ore- and Nevada increased their reserves no less than 33 per cent. Following in order come North Carolina and Washington with in creases of 31 per cent. ; Texas, 28 'per cent; Alabama, 25 percent.; ! Montana, 5 per cent. : California j excluding San Francisco, 24 per j cent. ; Oklahoma, 23 per cent., and Wyoming, 21 per cent. ; Louisanna, wjih 8 per cent., and Iowa, with 9.5 per cent., are the only states of the South and West which make a respectable show ing. All the large Eastern cities led by New York, actually de creased their reserves in the pub lic cause, while Savannah and Galveston led the currency hug gers with increases of 30 and 29 per cent., respectively. The crop season being on, the obstinate hoarding by many. Western and Southern banks is particularly hard to justify. But for the Eastern banks there is no telling what the Southern farmer might have had to take for his cotton. And the worst aspect of the mat ter is that many of the offenders continue their offense in very large measure even unto this day. When the currency-hugging banks turn back the legal tender which they have drawn from the channels of trade and industry for conversion into idle hoards Msiness will goon as usual This lsNae sum and substance of the whov. situat ion. - Charlotte Ob server.

A prominent business man" of Concord believes that if the legislature would repeal the passenger rate law the . people would applaud it! So far as he could see there was no sentiment in favor of rate reduction; what the people wanted and the coun try needed was development of the roads so as to enable them to handle the growing business of the state. He recalls the fact that the Southern is taking off every train it can and has stop ped double-tracking and all other improvements. But what we want to know is what this busi ness man or any other business man has got to do- with it. He may be an undesirable citizen or a malefactor of great wealth for f ,11 we know. We reformers of railroads would like to have it understood that we are not running this thing to meet the views of such as he. He ex presses" the apprehension that in another year the Southern will be in the liands of a receiver. Man alive! Don't you understand that that is exactly what some of us want to see happen? In all gravity and this last question is asked gravely it is very unfortunate for the state that the sentiments of the busi ness men are so little heeded.

It is another illustration of how careless the world is of the in dividual, and how thick is the cloak which one may wrap about his personality. The other day a laborer employed by the Erie Railroad in Jersey City was run over by a train and had his leg cut off. A policeman telephoned for an ambulance. The injured man lay on a grass patch, apparently bleeding to death. Just then a typical railroad tramp in dirty rags sauntered along. He tapped a policeman's elbow. "May I ask what's the matter, officer?" he inquired. "Man bleeding to death," re plied the policeman. "Would you mind if I looked at him?" asked the tramp. "I might be of service." "Go ahead," responded the officer. Bending low over the wounded laborer, the tramp asked for water to wash his hands, and then begged the crowd for clean handkerchiefs. With a half dozen deft, rapid twists he made a tourniquet, and stopped the flow of blood. "Are you a doctor?" some one asked, as the man slipped away through the crowd. "I used to be," he replied, as he hurried off. The panic has "panicked" out. There never was a more uncalled for disturbance in money circles. If all the people who are hoard ing money would turn loose their coin by putting it into the banks and circulation, times would get better in a day. There was never a bit of reason for the scare and now it is over. Let the people again become confi dentDavidson Dispatch. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. (From our regular correspondent.) As the Thaw trial approaches, interest centers in Martin W. Littleton, the new leading lawyer for the defense. Littleton's life is interesting; only 35 years old, yet he ranks already at the head of the criminal bar in New York City. Born in Tennessee, of poor parents, early moving to Texas, the young man at six teen was a "track walker" on one of the railroads of that state. When one day he was told by a superior that he might become some day a freight train conductor, he replied, "not I; some day I expect to be a great lawyer in New York" and today only 17 years from that day, his expectations have been realized, and not only is he a great lawyer but the greatest. Without usual educational advantages, he eefeuw cated himself read law at odd times and while working for hfe daily bread, the young mart entered a law office in Texas, showed the stuff he was made of, married, came to New York unknown and without means, but with determination-that quality best of all qualities. It was not long before the young Southerner made himself felt. He began to be recognized as a successful barrister and an orator of no mean ability. At a great political meeting in the old Academy of Music in Brooklyn, at which David B. Hill was the chief speaker, Littleton's name appeared as one of the "tail-end" speakers along with some others to be used to fill up the time. The speech jvas madeit startl ed, thrilled the gathering such ' pquence had not been .expected any of the speakers, much he least of them. That made Littleton famous in . John C. Sheehan, the awyer and politician, was f those who heard the h, and a little later, when than as the manager of Judge Ion B. Parker's candidacy for e nomination for president was oking around for the best to had to place Parker's name 1 1 -KT? 1 n nomination at tne xsauonai Convention he turned to Littleton as the man. How well the young orator did the work is a matter of history. -His name was on every tongue. Later e Littleton ade Presit of" the gn 01 isrooKiyn (vice nayor) which office he filled ith ability, relinquishing it De- cuse, as he put it, he could not ""make both ends meet". Be ginning then, the practice of his profession on the New York side of the river, it was but a brief few months before Little- tonls-name appeared on one side ,&33 .... . . or tne otner 01 every important case. Thaw searched the United States for the best ability; tried Delmas of California. Now at the second trial, he is to be de fended by the yet young South erner, he and his friends be lie veing that in Littleton, they will have unquestionably the best talent obtainable. Martin W. Littleton was born in 1872 in a log cabin in Tennes see; was a "track walker" at 16 years of age in Texas, a baker's assistant and farm hand in youth; did chores and went to school one term; studied law and was admitted to the bar at nine teen; outgrew the town of Weatherford and went to Dallas at the age of twenty-one;, came to New York at twenty-four, made a speech which nominated Parker for the Presidency in 1904; at 31, was Borough Presi dent of Brooklyn, and at 35 is selected as chief counsel in the most noted criminal case of the day. It Does The Business. Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "It does the busi ness; I have used it for piles and it cured them.
