niE OBSERVER Fayetteville, N. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1907, W 4. HALE, Editor and Proprietor. E.J. HALE, Jr., Business Manager, BANKERS PUSH A88ET CUR- ' AENGY. The Commoner. - ,. The press dispatches "report" that the House Committee ' on Banking and Currency has decided to make a favorable report on a credit cur rency bill In line with the recommen dations of the American Bankers' As sociation. All the Republican mem burs of the committee nresent Join' ed In the report and all the Demd cratH present opposed It. Good for the Democrats. Our party ought to present a united front against this new piece of favoritism. One of the first acts of the Republican party when it came Into power ten years ago was to Increase the profits of the national bank. . Since that time it has increased the taxes upon the people and now plans a new tax in the form of a subsidy. But it is still endeavoring - to - accommodate the bankers, and this new proposition seeks tolnaugurate a new principle. When-the national bank -was em powered to Issue notes, the measure was advocated on the ground that it would create a demand for govern- , nent bonds and thus help the govern ment during, the war. That argument has long since ceased to be effective, . and there Is no excuse now for the bank note except that it puts the vol time of the money into the hands of the bankers instead of the govern ment. The credit currency has all of the objections of the pres ent bank currency and several other objections which can not be made agalnstthe bank note as it now ex lots. It Is interesting to note the change of position made by the bankers. In 1896 they said we had plenty of money and did nqt need any more. ana yet, immediately alter the elec tion, they asked for and obtained the privilege of issuing more notes on the ground that the country needed more. Since that time we have had an enormous Increase in the gold pro ductlon and gold coinage. We havt increased the silver coinage arid the bank note Issue until the per capita circulation is more man ntty per cent, greater -than it wa? ten years ago, and yet the bankers insist that we must have more money still provided they are allowed to furnish It. If the government stands back of the new currency, the people will bear Jhe risk and the bankers will . make the money; if the government does not Btand back of the currency, the bankers will make the money and the people will run the risk, but in either case it means more profit to the banker. If they really desire an elastic currency and not more cur rency, why do not the bankers pro pose a reductionof the bank note is tiiie with a provision that an increase can be made? Why do the bankers not apply their tax idea to the pres ent bank notes and provide that the issue of bank notes shall ordinarily be seventy -five per cent of the par value of the bonds? The government might then permit them to issue an additional twenty-five per cent, upon the payment of a tax that would re tire extra issue when tne emergency was over. This would give them an elastic currency, but alas, it has a fatal objection. It would not give them as much profit as their plan, and therefore it is out of the ques tion. The Democratic party is committed to the doctrine that the issue of money is a government function that ought not to be delegated to the banks at all, but in addition to this standing objection It opposes this new form of currency which lessens the security of the depositor, increases the risk of the note-holder and in volves our country more deeply in the Wall Street control of our finances. The financiers are not will lug to allow the money question to remain settled. They vociferously in sist that it is dead when any proposi tion is made that they do not like, and then they as vociferously insist that it shall be kept alive so long as they have any new advantages to gain. If Wall Street is to be given any new mortgage uponthe treasury, the Republicans should be compelled to accept ail the responsibility. The smal bankers are already beginning to see the danger pf an asset cur rency, and the Democratic party will have their co-operation in fighting this new scheme of the large finan ciers. IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT THREATENED. We are requested to publish the following from the Atlanta Constitu tion: Just as the States of the South are preparing to push immigration move ments in the hope of supplying .the brawn and muscle in which they are now sadly lacking, there hovers over them the imminent danger of adverse legislation which would . seriously hamper, if not, In a great measure, defeat, their efforts. The Constitution has called urgent attention to the status of the immi- " gtatlon ' restriction bill which is now in conference committee, awaiting only agreement between the two Houses of Congress to finally enact it and send it on td the President It this inimical measure becomes a law, It will place such additional re strictions upon immigration as to make it next to impossible for the States' of the South to accomplish anything along this line. Already '" there are restrictions enough, for, as every one interested is aware, it was with the greatest difficulty under the , . present law that South Carolina re cently succeeded in getting a meager handful of foreign immigrants safe- ly and permanently wlthin' the bor- , ' ders of that Sate. ; ' What If a dozen or so additional restrictions had been put upon those immigrants? Probably South Caro lina would have been put to- the ex pense and mortification of deporting the majority of them, even though they were all of a class calculated to . make good citizens. . f Now the report cornea i.-om Wash ington that this immigration restric tion .bill is about to go through. It It is to be stopped, as it should be in the interest of the States qf tho Botith at least, Bome Immediate act Urn must be taken. The matter must betaken hold of now by commercial, industrial and immigration bodies throughout" the' South, and an emphatic protest raised against a law which, if enacted, is sure to seriously check their efforts in behalf of the South's best Interests. let them take the' matter tip at once with - their senators and con gressmen: let them lodge the'r pro test with Speaker Cunnou himself, who. It BovtiiB, Is little short of all powerful In shaping national legis lation. hut wuut 1 Immigration, and we want no prohibitive restrictions thrown .irsund It. The N orth and West have had more than their share of it, and upon it they have fattened in prosperity. Let them not now seek to curtail the legit imate efforts of the States of the South in roachlng out for their just aue. The defeat of this restrictive leg islation is as important as the or ganization of immigration movements. tor it it necomes law, such organiza tions had almost as well go out of business. .Right now is the time to call nait. a lew more days and It may oe too late. SHEPHERD ON LEE. Wilmington Star. The Neale Publishing Company, of New York, sends the Star the new work of Prof. Henry B. Shepherd, M. A., LL. D.'Ufe of Robert Ed ward Lee." Interest In this latest biography of the great Confederate chieftain Is emphasized by the fact that on the 19th of January will be celebrated throughout the South and in many Northern cities the one hun dredth aniversary of the birth of Gen eral Lee. Moreover, North Carolin ians will be specially Interested in the work because Its author, Dr. Shepherd, Is a native of the State, having been born at Fayetteville, Wil mington's sister Cape Pear city. His father was the late Jesse George Shephehrd and his mother was Cath erine Isabella Dobbins, while the dis tinguished author is prominently con nected with many leading and prom inent North Carolina families. He received his early education at the famous Donaldson Academy, at Fay etteville, aud was there prepared for his college course which begun in Dav'dson College, Mecklinburg coun ty. Subsequently he attended the Charlotte Military Institute, which was conducted by Major D. H. Hill, who became or.e of the famous Confeder ate gener.ls. From the Charlotte school he went to the University of Virginia but at the early age of 17 he left that institution to enter the Confederate service under General D. H. Hill. He served the Southern cause with valor and at the close of hostilities began teaching at Louis- burg, X. C, there beginning a career as educator that has placed him in the front ranks of the profession in the United States. From Louisburg Dr. Shepherd was called to the Bal timore City College where he filled the chair of History and English Subsequntly for five years he served as president of the College of Charles ton where he attained a high repu tation. C 'ing from Charleston to Baltimore he engaged in 1 -.- rary work and in that line. distinguished himself by reason of his ripe scholar ship and marked ability. He is the author of several books which have given him renown In literay circles both In Europe and America. Dr. Shepherd's "Life of Robert Ed ward Lee" is probably his greatest production and that book just issued by the Xeale Publishing Company ranks as the greatest of all the bi ographies of the South's greatest mil itary genius. The life of Lee was the product of years of close study of the man. the conditions under which he lived and worked and the results he achieved. After careful research and out of a loving study of Lee, his life, his ideals, his motives, his genius, his superb character, and fame, Dr. Shepherd bas given us the book of books on the matchless General Rob ert Edward Lee, ideal of the South and admired of all Nations. Dr. Shepherd knew Gen. Lee per sonally and that has aided the accom plishd scholar and author to produce a facinating work, which critics pro nounce a "notable contribution to the fast-growing Lee literature." The The Neale Publishing Company has published it on handsome letterpress paper and bound it in handsome li brary form and placed it on sale at J2.00 wUh 17 cents added for postage. It can be had by addressing the Neale Publishing Company, Broadway, New York. Referring again to Dr. Shepherd, we note that one of his latest pro- d-irtions is an essay on Ed ear Allen Poe to vhom he assigns the fore most place in American literature. It is also interesting to note that Dr. Shepherd Is to deliver the Lee ad dress at Charlotte, X. C, on thel9tb Inst North Carolinians will warmly welcome the State's distinguished scholar. Dr. Shepherd's home is now in Bal timore where he resides with his in teresting family. He married Miss Kate P. Goodridge, of a prominent Norfolk family, and they have two sons and a daughter. BLACK .SAND" .INVESTIGATION AT CHAPEL HILL. Says the Washington correspond ent: Great preparations are be ing made for the exhibit by the government of a complete black sand working outfit at the Jamestown Exposition. Most of the people in the country now know what the black sand investigation is, but for the benefit of those who do not. It may be said that it is a series of investigations Instituted about two years ago by the Geological Survey relative to the value of the black sand which has heretofore hindered placer mine working in the West and thou sands of acres of which are to be found scattered all along the Pacific Coast." this sand was once thought to be absolutely valueless, but investiga tion proves that it carr.es cold and silver in large quantities, monozite. Iridium and platinum, and many other rare and valuable metals beside be ing largely composed of the most val uable sort of iron In almost a pure state. Cheap methods of working the deposits were evolved by the scien tists of the Survey and so much In terest attached to these discoveries that great pressure was brought to bear to establish a similar investiga tion plant on the Atlantic Coast This is now being done and the plant will be started at Chapel Hill in North Carolina, within a week. Much of the apparatus will be ex hibited at Jamestown under working conditions and there Is every pros pect that thousands of acres of here tofore worthless land both in th? tidal plain and along the Appalachian range of mountains will be shown to be exceedingly valuable. - In connection with the black sand work the - Survey tried someexpert- ments in electric furnace smelting and this resulted in another discov ery of Immense economic importance. It was found that the electric furnace would produce valuable iron from ores contaminated ,. with tltanum. There are thousands of acres of such ores in the West, enough, in fact, to render that sectlonot the country absolutely independent of the East for Its iron supply. Heretofore,' the ore - has been .- considered absolutely worthless because it could not be smelted in the blast furnace, but the electric furnace which was Installed to work some of the black sand ore makes excellent iron out of these de posits and there is enough of It in sight all along the Atlantic Coast to make land owners rich and insure a good supply of iron ore for the couutry for generations to come. One man in North Carolina is now setting up a complete smelting plant at bis own expense under the direction ot the Geological Survey and many oth er places In the South will Immedi ately benefit from the work thatis being inaugurated. , CARTHAGE R.

Correspondence of Observer. ine Observer's entertaining corre spondent "Salmagundi," quotes un saying that a "larger city is more la- vorable to intellectual development." Repeating from memory, I think I said some of the largest colleges and universities in the world were situ ated in great cities, and that the tore- most educators had considered these great centers as the most prolific fields for intellectual development However, without spitting hairs, "Sal magundi," pretty accurately gave my meaning. But "Salmagundi" will pardon me for thinking that his conclusions from his premises are not logical. . Some of the ' greatest men in the world's history great on the field and in the council hall never saw the inside of a school room, br.t "made their mark" with the mailed hand or the hilt of the sword. I think, though, that it will be found that men born and rear ed in the country, achieving distinc tion by public service, first rounded their manhood and equipped their lives by training in some of those same metropolitan institutions of learning. Salmagundi's quotation from "Gray's Elegy in a Country Church yard." is not felicitous. "The rude forefathers of the hamlet" who "jo cund drove their teams afield," were not supposed by the poet ever to have gone out into uie wond, out of sight of the smoke of their cottage chim neys: "Far from the madding crowd's ig noble strife. Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool, sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way." J. H. MYRO.iiR. Fayetteville, Jan. 15. Flea Bin Item. January 14, 1907. Mb. Editob: Your correspondent bas but little news this week. Some of the fanners of this section are busily preparing thtii lands for this year's crop, while others seem to consider it an odious task on account of the short crop of 1906; but I hope they will be inspired with new hopes for the future, and make of them selves ideal farmers of 1907. . The young people of our section seem to enjoy the Xmas holidays very much as there was a party near ly every night, but I think some of our boys did as the old Irishman broke off the point of their knife in a pint of whiskey. Messrs. J. E. Geddie, A. B. B recce nd D. L. Guy have gone to Rich mond. I suppose they aim to take in the Jamestown Exposition. There are several other of our young men who intend going in a few days. Miss Maud Murphy and Mr. Lester Williams were out driving Sunday afternoon. Miss Blanche Geddie and Mr. Les ter Williford attended services at Lebanon Sunday afternoon. Miss Lula dumpier returned home Sunday, and was out riding Sunday afternoon with Mr. Billie Beard. Miss Sadie Bolton and Mr. Lonnie Page enjoyed a long and swift ride Snnday afternoon, also Miss Maggie Williams and Mr. George Holmes. Miss Claudia Guy and her sister, Miss Jennie, attended the prayer meeting services at Lebanon Sunday night accompanied by Mr. Alonzo McLaurin. Some of our young people report seeing a bear in this section, otbra say that it is only a large hog. U seems that their stories are conglom erated. Messrs. I. M. Williford and S. C, McPhail took a pleasant ride to Seventy-first Saturday afternoon to visit friends and relatives. They report a nice time. Mr. N. D.

A FAVEIlCVILUC AUXILIARY TO THE - STATE L1TMABY AND ISTCK 1CAI ASSOCIATION. We heartily commend the following letter from Mrs. Currie: -- Glendale. Jan. 14th, 1007. Maj. E. J. Hair, Dear Sir: Do yon not think that this is the time of all others for the organization of an auxiliary to the State Literary and Historical Associa tion in Fayetteville and surrounding county r . The objects of the association are as follows: "The collection, preser vation and production of our State lite ature and history; the encourage ment ol public libraries: the establish ment of an historical museum; the inculcation of a literary spirit among our people; the correction of printed misrepresentations concerning North Carolina, and the engendering of an intelligent, healthy State pride in the rising generation." The work of this association will have special relerence to the city of rayetteville and the county of Cum berland. Eligibility to membership: "All persons interested in its purposes are invited to become members of the association. The annual dues are one dollar." Nearly every city in the State, and many of the smaller towns, are organ izing associations of this kind, and why should not Fayetteville, who has such great cause to be proud of the history made by the noble deed of the ancestors of so many of the rising generation in her midst tne nan ot tne market house is the ideal place for the historical mu seum, and, under the skillful direc tion 01 the uvic Association, I am sure, would very soon become the pride of the city and surrounding country, and a place of real interest for the str inger 111 our gates to visit. A very generous portion of the hall could be reserved for the Confederate museum. The Daughters of the Con federacy would of course take special interest in this department and could hold their meetings there, and, I am sure, the proximity to so many sa cred relics of the Confederacy would add greatly to the interest of our meetings. Some one has said that, "to receive proper credits, ve must keep our own accounts," and I hope tdat the good men of Fayetteville and surrounding county will join with the Uvic Association and assist them in making our unique old market how-e not only a "thing of beauty, but real JOY a it J pride. With lb.- most cordial good wishes for the buccess and prosperity of Fay etteville and the good, old county of Cumberland, I am Very respectfully, Mrs J. H. Currie. Prcty Morals Wcddlw.

The Sioux City Journal has an ed ltorlal based upon the claim that M Bryan said: "Such a high honor as tho presidential nomination la some thing that no American cltlien should decline." The Journal's editorial Is all very Interesting to be sure. Hut the sentence quoted by the Journal was not employed by Mr. Bryan. He simply stated in Topeka what he stated elsewhere, that he was not ready to make an announcement on the nomination. Whether a nomina tion should be declined or accepted depends on conditions under which the offer is made. The platform is matter to be considered; the charac ter of the organization is also im portant, and the general line to be pursued in the campaign can not be ignored. The platform ought to U the issues; the candidate ought to ut tne platform, and the party organiza tion should be in harmony with the party s purpose. HAYNE ITEMS. Hayne,' N. C.

Mr. Editor: The Executive Commit tee of the North Carolina Division Southern Cotton Association met at Maxton today. Present, A. J McKinnon, Chairman: J. H. Currie. T. J. W. Broome, Committee, and State resident c. c. Moore. The committee will issue a letter in be published in all the weekly papers in the cotton producing counties of the State. This letter to appeal to the farmers to give financial support to the organization at once. It was ordered that a bureau of information be established from which there shall go from week to week information of a general nature on the cotton sit uation throughout the year. The com mittee was very enthusiastic over what had been accomplished in the past, and they expect to use all the energy and ability that they possess in the interest of this work throueh- out the State. The committee discussed with con siderable anxiety the danger that may come to the South by producing too much cotton this year, and after the National organization meets in Bir mingham on the 17th, the officers of North Carolina division will make an active campaign with a view to avoid ing this danger. In order to prepare for this the committee recommends that large acreage be sown in small grain and other foraga crops, and larger acreage be prepirM for corn as to be certain that there is suffl- ient quantity of food ituTs oroduced on each farm to feed a 11 the people and stock In any way connected with the farm. Don't be afraid of having too much of these feed stuffs, there is always a good market at your door for any surplus you may make. A. J. McRjNNON. Signed J. H. CURRIE, T. J. W. BROOME.

Mr. Editor: We note the scuffle eoinsr on in several towns for the possession of the proposed collejre site of the Meth odist denomination for the education of women. Like some others who have pnt their gab into it, we are not Methodist from a religious stand point. But we are not opposed to the education of women by any means provided they are taught to act their part as designed bv the Supreme Ar chitect of this universe. Manv of them are shirking that duty originally assigned to them. Whether they can render a good excuse for short com ings on the path of duty is a debata ble question We know that some villains wearing men's clothes, not all of them illiterate, and some .of them posing as scholars and gentle men, and some boasting a foreign title, bnt who in reality are imps of hell. are seeking whom they may devour. precedent is o the statutes, or on record. No woman ever was so fortunate in the.matter of education as mother Eve, especially in regard to her teacher, yet the captain of all these fortune hunters deceived her, and the same kind of snake has bit ten thousands oi her daughters. We presume Adam was a sort of common place old fellow, and not as attractive aa he might have been be was just diamond m the rough. All that glitters is not gold, and that is one of the lessons that our modern women need to learn. Will it be taught in that Methodist College. If mother Eve had been helping Adam, as she was intended to do, she would not have fallen into the transgression. We think Paul declares that Adam was not in it. Now we will not worry your readers with this problem any more just now. President Roosevelt is agitating it in his messages to Con gress and in bis public speeches throughout the land, and on the sub ject bis logic is sound. Bnt why do the several towns covet the prize of thecollege. Sanford claims railroad facilities, good water and salubrious air ; Fayetteville claims as much, and her advocate, mr. Myrover, goes a step farther, and, if we are not mistaken, claims that a larger city is more favorable to intel lectual development Now, if that holds good, the college ought to go to Gotham or the Windy City, be cause we need the best results. But what does history teach as ? Is it not true of our country that onr gieatest men were country born and bred? When Hannibal was menacing the Roman Empire did not his vanquish er come from plowing in the fields ? we believe, to get the best Jesuits all around, the Methodist College should oe located in the depth of some pine forest, where pure water gushes from sandhill spring- "Far from the city's madding inrong."
