This is the last issue of the
News as a 5-coluran paper—next
week it will be a 6 column, 8-page,
all-home-print newspaper, in
every w^ay worthy of the tow^n
and county it represents. We
are proud of the support it has
received, although there are some
merchants and business men in
the county who are not repre
sented in its advertising column?.
We believe such are losing more
than we are by trying to secure
business without advertising,
and we shall w'elcome all to a
seat in the band wagon wiien our
(j-column enterprise is inaugu
rated. We also w^ant readers.
If your name is not on our books
you should lose no time in get
ting it there, for you will have
the pleasure of reading the best
])aper published in any county
west of Asheville.

Another of the big New York
banks has closed its doors as a
result of the republican “good
times” panic. This time it is the
great Havemeyer National Bank
of North America. Havemeyer
is president of the sugar trust,
and knows all about gambling in
futures—he is also president of
the big bank with its big name.
The United States treasurer
came to the rescue of this bank
last October by depositing with
it ?^2,200,000 of the people’s
money without interest—but
that didn’t save it, so the govern
ment has taken charge and will
make an effort to get its loan back
out of the bank’s assets. Great
scheme to rob the people, this
National banking businezs, now
isn’t it?
As we see it our state legisla
tors have done the right thing on
the question of prohibition. They
propose to frame and phss a pro
hibitory law for the state and
then allow the people to put it in
force by their votes. If they en
dorse the action of the legisla
ture in an election to be held
herecifter then the law will be
come operative Jan. 1, 1909.
While we favor prohibition by
by every honorable means, we
are aware that it could not be en
forced unless there was a healthy
public opinion endorsing it. Be
sides, this sanction of the people
by their votes is democratic, and
those who oppose it can have
their say during the campaign.
We believe that it will Vwin, and
we Ivnow that the people them
selves will be better otl in every
way when intoxicants as a bever
age are driven from the state.
Our legislators are to be com
mended for leaving the question
to the voters.
Our legislators in Raleigh are
being swamped with petitions
from railway employes to at once
reinstate the old rates on all rail
iokIs in ^'Jorih Carolina, 0!i the
supposition that their wages will
be reduced if rates are reduced.
This move bears the ear marks
of the ‘*man higher up,” ^Wages
will‘b(9^ reduced od any pretext
which an employer can find which
will secure him the sympathy of
the public, and this looks like a
cheap bid for public sympathy.
It is not the reduction of rates
that is hurting the railroads, but
the republican panic. Travel
has fallen off, but reduced rates
would have increased it had
financial matters remained nor
mal. Freights have been re
duced in volume, but the stagna
tion in business caused by the
panic, is responsible for the re
duction. Other enterprises be
sides railroads have cut wages—
and they used the argument of
the panic for doing so- The rail
roads are courting public sympa
thy by laying the blame on “rate
reduction,” and are using their
employes as tools to this end.
Should they succeed in prevent
ing legislation these employes
would find their wages cut just
the same.
IN MEMORIAM.
MBS. .JANE llABB.
On the morning of Jan. 21st the
death angel came to the home of
Felix Rabb and called for his dear
companion who seemed so ready to
answer her Lord. She had been ill
for several weeks, but seemed to be
conscious of her death all through
her suffering. Ap:e 07 yehrs. She
was married in 1862 to Felix Rabb
and has lived, until her death, a
quiet a!id loved companion. She
joined the Presbytf^rian church while
living in Tenn^ssi^e, but, i^fter mov-
inj? to this country joined the Meth
odist church at Dividing Ridge and
has been a well known member of
that church since.
Mrs. Rabb was born and.reared in
Belton, S. C. At four o’clock Tues
day morning she called her dear
companion, and many other friends
who were present, to her bedside.
While her almost heart-broken hus
band stood by her asking if he could
do anything for her she answered
him, “Please go away and don’t
mourn for I .will soon be at rest.”
While her dying words seem to
strike deeply in the hearts of her
many friends who stood by to wit
ness the last scene of life, it pleased
God to call her from this world of
trouble where
“No pain nor death nor anxious fear
Can reach our loved one sleeping there ’ ’
Mrs. Rat)b will be missed in her
home, also her community. S!ie
was loved by all who knew her.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
McGahd Cemetery on the head wa-
tnrs of Little River where the body
will return to its mother, dust. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. R. G. Tuttle.
Mrs. Kabb leaves a husband, one
brother, one sister, a number of
grand children and a host of friends
to mourn their loss. We extend
our sincere sympathy to the bereaved
ones. A FpJexd.

to use it, and are today in the best
of health.
