Why a NATIONAL BANK is Best
A National Hank is under the supervision of the
Tinted States Government.
Laws governing National Banks are very strict.
Thcv are required to suhmit to the government a
sworn detailed statement FIVE TIMES a year.
The stockholders are held responsible for DOUBLE
the amount of their stock. This is for t lie benefit of
the depositors
Thernpital stock is required to he paid in cash, and
must be held intact for the benefit of the depositors.
The Bank is required each year to add to its surplus
account before declaring dividends. This is lor the
further security of the depositors.
A National Bank cannot loan more than 10 per cent,
of its capital to one man or firm.
The Concord National Bank
Capital $100,0t0 Surplus and Undivided Profits $26,000
No large amount required to start an account.

SAM JONES WRITES ABOUT HIS
TRAVELS.
Atlanta Journal.
Ill the past ten days 1 have made
a tour through Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. My
work ruis called me mostly into the
northwest this winter with the ex
ception of the week I spent in Flori
da, and it is verv ditricult for me to
determine which is the most pros
perous, the .great northwest or the
great southeast. The lumber anil
iron, coal and cotton of the south,
in the past ten years, have emptied
their millions into our banks and
pockets, to say nothing of our fruits
and vegetables. The south is grow
ing rich and richer, faster perhaps
than any section of the country, and
the title is beginning to set this way,
for immigration into our our midst,
not only from Yankee Doodle, but
from all sections and countries.
The south is suffering more from
scarcity of labor than from anything
else. In many sections of our south
ern states the negro has quit the
farm and gone to the saw mill or to
the ore bank or to the truck garden,
and both in the agricultural and me
chanical departments labor is very
scarce and withal very high. And I
rejoice at the increased wages the
'laboring people are getting. 1 no
tice in my own town many nice little
cottages have been builded by our
laboring jeople in the past few
years, and the best thing that can
be done for labor is to give them
wages sutlicient, not only to live, but
to build them homes. The best con
tented and most effective labor is la
bor which is domiciled in the home
life.
So far as my observation and infor
mation goes, I doubt if there will
Ik more acreage in cotton this year
than last. In some sections there is
more; in some there is much less.
F.vidently the farmers can calculate
on ten cents for his cotton as long
as present conditions remain. The
farmer can make no more money
now on ten-cent cotton than he
could on eight cent cotton two or
three years ago. Mules are as high
as cats' backs, labor scarce and ev
ery commodity getting higher, and
cotton ought to bring ten cents to
the farmer, and they won't make
money if it don't.
Has tern Texas and Western Lu
isiana are the lumber regions of the
great southwest. I marvel that
there is a tree standing in the for
ests and yet I learn that it will take
these mills, and there are hundreds
of them, forty years to cut all the
lumber out of that country. And
such prices as they are getting for
their lumber were never known lv-
fore. The railroads are way behind
with the saw mills now. They just
can't haul the lumber out as fast as
those immense mills cut it up.
I find politics pretty hot in most of
the southern states. Texas has three
r tour candidates tor governor.
Arkansas has had a heated campaign
in which JetF Davis beat Senator
Bcrrv nearlv ten thousand votes in
the primpry.
Tennessee is having it hot and
heavv. Cox and Patterson, with
Judge Bond following in the rear.
and thev are righting over every
inch of ground. Senator Carmack
and Bob Tavlor are the candidate be
fore the primary for the nomination
to the United States senate. 1 be
lieve Carmack is gaining ground ev-
erv iav. I nope tie win be re-eiecteu
to the senate. He is the peer of any
man in the L'nited States senate in
manhood, in brains and courage. He
is thoroughly equipjed for that posi
tion, (lovernor Bob Taylor is a
magnificent lecturer. Tennessee
ould not do a better thing than to
put Carmack back in the senate and
et Bob Tavlor continue to lecture.
There is more money in it to Bob,
and it's a more genial work for him.
Governor Tavlor is an inimitable lec
turer, full of sentiment, and he is

greeted everywhere with crowds and
cheers. It would be a pity to take
him from the lecture platform when
there is such demand for talent like
his, and it would be more than a pity
to take Senator Carmack out of the
senate. I hope Tennessee will let
the thing stay as it is.
Our Georgia politics are no better
than in our other southern states.
The fact of the business is, a fellow
can't run much now without a
"rousement," and the best way to
get up a "rousement" is to make a
"spread eagle" speech on the phrases
and shortcomings of your opponents.
But, really, people don't believe
much they hear in political contests,
and nobody is specially damaged at
what the candidates say about each
other. I want some fellow to .op up
some day for office and go round
abusing himsejf and bragging on his
opponents. 1 want to sec how he
would run. I believe I would vote
for that sort of a fellow myself on
general principles.
I am glad to notice that Judge
John VV. Akin will have no opposi
tion to the state senate from this dis
trict. With his returning health, he
will come back into public life,
and be a most efficient man in all re
spects. 1 am through with my lecture
work for a while and begin meetings
next Sunday at Evansville, Indiana,
and will. Providence permitting, re
main there two weeks. I go from
there to Winona, Miss. If I had the
physical strength to work in these
large meetings, it would le a source
of great pleasure to me to devote my
whole time to that work.
I trust that the coming of Torrey
and Alexander to Atlanta in May
may be a great benediction to At
lanta, and I am glad the Christian
people are looking forward to that
movement with prayers ai d inter
est. I wish I could attend these
meetings some myself.

begins about the 20th of June and I

Baltimore Sun.
There are in Baltimore just about
as many men as there are women
In the churches at the Sunday morn
ing services there are seven times as
many women as there are men. In
Maryland Penitentiary tnere are
seven times -as many men as there
are women 51 of the former and
90 of the latter. This provides an
interesting field of speculation for
those who have nothing better to do
than to speculate. Do men go to the
penitentiary because they do not go
to church, and do women escape the
penitentiary because they go to
church? Are women good because
they go to church or do they go to
church because they are good ? Are
men bad because they do not go to
church or do they absent themselves
from church because they are bad ?
And, again, why are women better
than men ? Is it because they are too
timid to take the risk of law-breaking
or because the Creator has en
dowed them with superior virtue ?
A great proportion of the population
Lof the penal institutions are thieves.
Is there any just cause why men
should be less honest than women ?
The latter are not as a rule less
avaricious. On the contrary, it is
believed that in that particular vice
women are worse than men. But
they do not seem to let their avarice
break out into overt acts. It is
easily explained why those who go to
the penitentiary for deeds of violence
are usually men, because all male
animals the male dumb animals as
well as the human animals are in
stinctively the fighters. When a wo
man is mastered gy her angry pass
ions she usually gjcratches and pulls
hair, but that is jfWt a penitentiary-
offense. If she gives way to
cupidity, it is to steal dry goods.
She seldom steals money or silver
plate or watchss. She will pass by
an opportunity to steal a large sum
of money and then risk her liberty
by lifting a pair of gloves or a piece
of lace from the bargain counter.
Whatever the cause may be, one
thing is certain that the average
woman is infinitely better than the
average man. And how fortunate
this is! What would become of the
family, the home and of citizenship,
if the children had to be reared by
women who are: no better than the
men! If the mother were as indiffer
ent about going to church as is the
father, if she should have the swear
ing habit and drink whisky, what
sort of children would she rear?

Molasses Fed to Horses.
In Brooklyn, N. Y., a sugar re
finery, feeding molasses to it teams.
gives each horse Ii quarts corn meal,
quart wheat bran and 3 pints sugar
house sirup and 7 pounds cut hay ;
at noon 5 quarts oats. The night ra
tion is theame as the morning, ex
cept 5 pounds of loose hay is fed in
addition to the cut hav, which is
mixed with the grain.
These htjrses weigh from 1,(00 to
800 pourids, and are fed at a cost
of 34 cents per day. They are fine.
sleek looking animals, and attract
attention of horsemen generally on
account of their extremely well-fed
appearanep. According to experts
the qconotfiy due to the molasses feed
results in a saving of from 20 to 27
per cent. ? over the old system of
maintaining on oats and hay entirely.
A plantation working 1m mules
fed with a molasses portion resulted
in a yearly saving of $6,000. While
another plantation cut down the
daily ration from 3f to 40 cents, to
19 cents. ;
The hygienic value of the molasses
feed formula is proved by an experi
ment which was made on two run
down horses that had been kept upon
ordinary rations. Their weights were
890 and 95 pounds when they were
put on the molasses system, and both
soon showed improvement.
How An Editor Was Cheated.
the editor ot an Arkansas paper
recently apologized to his readers
for lack of news somewhat in this
fashion: "We expected to have both
a death and a marriage to announce
this week, but a violent storm pre
vented the wedding and the Doctor
himself having been taken ill, his pa
tient recovered, and we were accord
ingly cheated out of both.
Joseph Jefferson was a strong be
liever in early marriages, and he
never missed an opportunity to im
press his convictions upon young
men. In an address at Yale he said
"I abominate bachelors. The older
thev grow, the more conceited thev
become. I was talking to one and
asked him why he did not marry
He parried the question by telling
about different young women he had
known, finding some fault with each
one. But it appeared that all of
them had married.
" 'You are in danger of getting
left,' I said to him. 'You had bette
hurry up before it is too late.'
"'Oh.' said the bachelor, 'there
are iust as good fish left in the sea
"I know that,' I said, 'but the
bait isn't there danger of the bait
becoming stale?' "
Didn't Fease Him.
COTTON FACTORIES.
St. I,oiiis lifpublic.
:outnern iarmers who are seeding
for their cotton crop will te pleased
to know that both Northern and
Southern mills are taking more cot
ton this year than last, while the
English mills in the Manchester dis
trict are busier than they have been
for several years.
Consul General Bradly reports that
Manchester mills which in August
1904, were runnig only forty hours a
week were in full operation by the
beginning of 1905 and have been
steadily busy ever since.
And Manchester is building new
mills. Fourteen new ones with 1,-
220,356 spindles have been put in op
eration during the past eight
months, savs Consul Bradley, while
thirty-four new mills, with 2,818,000
spindles, for American cotton, are
building.
For certain goods the English mills
use not a little Egyptian cotton, but
they are not likely ever to become
independent of American for their
main supply. The British Cotton
Growing Association claims to have
demonstrated that every variety of
cotton can be grown under the Brit
ish flag, but with all its effort to de
velop the culture in Africa and else
where the association does not ex
pect a crop of more than 23,000 bales
this year.
The world's demand for cotton
grows steadily, year by year. The
Japanese promise to become great
manufactures of cotton and the three
or four hundred millions of Chinese
are increasing their use of cotton
goods.
The South cannot grow too much
cotton, though it mav, in certain
years, make a larger crop than ex
isting mills will take at prices which
give the tanner a good proht. I ron,
ably the best rule for the Southern
farmer is to grow all the cotton he
can after providing for other crops
and for live stock enouirh to make
the farm self-supporting.

AN OFFICIOUS POSTMASTER.
st:it"s ille Landmark.
The Landmark is informed that a
postmaster at a small office in Davie
county is now, and has been, very
officious in opposition t the estab
lishment of rural routes in hisneijrh-
orhood. The reason for the oppo
sition is doubtless a fear that his of
fice will be abolished. This post
master has been telling ieople that
the establishment of these routes
ill increase taxes and that they will
have to pay direct taxes for their
maintenance. It is not necessary to
explain to intelligent people that the
itizen pavs no direct taxes to the na
tional government. All taxes for
the national government are indirect
and the average citizen would not
know the difference in national taxa
tion if there was not a rural route in
xistence.
The Landmark has mentioned this
to say that the Postorlice Department
ought to look after the Davie couty
postmaster. A postmaster has no
business to try to prevent the estab
lishment of rural rotues. That is a
matter for the Postofiice Depart
ment and the ieople who may want
the routes.

his text the escape of the Israelites
from Egypt, and when I came in he
spoke sofnething like this, 'And the
Lord froze the lied Sea into a solid
cake of ice and de Israelites crossed
safely oer to de 'oder side. Then
the Gyptians followed them over the
ice, but when thev got into the mid
dle de Lrd sent down a heavy thaw.
melted tjie ice and percipetated the
Gyptians into the water and they
wrere alt drowned. ine congrega
tion was still for about two minutes
then a tall, thin colored man arose
and said-: 'Mister preacher, I begs
to disagree with that last statement
of youri. According to the geogra
phr thes Red Sea is in the tropics
close tothe equator, and the water
there nver freezes.' The minister
listenediattentively, then in a loud
angry voice replied: 'I thought there
would b"e one of those smart niggers
in this ; congregation to contradict
me. Bat he is not so smart as he
thinks tie is. In the days when th
Israelites ran away from Egypt
long, losig ago, there was no such

neither;' "
