A National Bank is under the supervision of th,: United States Government. 2 Laws governing National Banks are very strict. 3. They are required to submit to the government a sworn detailed statement FIVE TIME5 a year. 4- The stockholders are held responsible for DOUBLE c the amount of their stock. This is for the benefit of the depositors. 5. The capital stock is required to be oaid in cash, and must be held intact for the benefit of the depositors. C. The Bank is required each year to add to its surplus account before declaring dividends. This i9 for the further security of the depositors. 7. A National Bank cannot loan more than 10 per cent, of its capital to one man or firm. The Concord National Bank Capital $100,000 Surplus and Undivided Profits $26,000 No large amount required to start an account.

I read with some interest, and I might add amusement, Edward Vance Cook's article on the vegeta rian. I have suffered enough with indigestion to be interested in treat ises that will regulate and give best results to the digestive organs. I am not a vegetarian nor do I belong to the carniverous type of bipeds es pecially. 1 think what a fellow eats not only has a great deal to do with how he feels, but it has something to do with what he is. Somebody said the more hog meat a fellow eats the more he is like a hog in instinct and intellect. Whether this be true or not, I think the Jewish religion that teaches its devotees not to eat hog meat has done much to make the Jews what they are to-day, the leaders in all fields which they enter. In finance, in commerce, in merchan dise, you will rind that race heading the procession. They are not vegeta rians, however. Chicken, fish, beef, etc., furnishes their tables with the things they like and the things they eat. The reports on the packing com panies will bring America to their feet with some questions, and it will be some time before the average fel low will enjoy packing house pro ducts as he did formerly. I tell you when you go into a packing house products as he did for blood and bones and hair and chittlings, and a good many other things, a man will be so disgusted with the bi-products that he will not care very much about the products. Now the pack ers deny the allegation, and some to defy the alligator who made the re port. In any event, true or false, there will be "a disinfecting process that will help the sanitary features of the packing business immensely. These brings me to give my expe rience along the line of healthful ness. Like Edward Vance Cook, mine has been a strenuous life. Traveling, speaking, eating. I am better satisfied with the traveling, and am much better satisfied with my speaking than 1 am with my eat ing. The average town hotel makes me think of Pat when he sat at the boarding house table and the waiter handed him the hash. Pat looked at it and said, "Faith, and what's that?" The waiter replied. "Hash, boss." Then," said Pat, "Hegorrah and you take it to the man what chawed it and tell him to ate it. for 1 won't ate anything any man has chawed." This has social reference mayle to the sausage, canned beef, tamales, etc., of the packinghouse fraternity. Three years ago. I was utterly broken 'down in my digestion. I could not digest a cracker. My con stitution and my by-laws both went down under the condition of things.' Medicines made the matter worse. A sensible doctor said to me about that time. "Pmther Jones, you can put anything in your mouth you please. You can chew it as much or as little as you please, and as long as the substance is in your mouth you are in command of the situation, and you continue to be boss of the situa tion until you swallow what you have in your mounth, and then immedi ately the conditions change, and you are no longer boss, but the victim of your act." I learned also about that time that it was not what a fellow did not eat that hurt him, but it was what he did eat. These lessons are very sim ple, but they take hold upon the very fundamentals of health and happi ness, lo do a wrong deed in the moral world is a sin and makes me a criminal. Not to do any thing, good or bad, to say the least of it, leaves me as innocent as a stump or a stone. I tried the cereals. I got no re lief. Then I tried nothing. I got no better. Then I said, "I will only eat two meals a day and for three years, with the exception of two or three occasions I have eaten no break fast except a cup of coffee, and for three years in spite of labors and travels and hotel grub, I have im proved every day. I eat anything I please for dinner and supper, and eat all I please, and the two or three breakfasts that I have eaten in the three years done me up for two weeks to follow, and now there is no table that can tempt me at the early morning meal. I have prescribed this treatment for several of my friends. With one accord they have said to me later on, "I am growing better every day of my indigestion." Like Edward Vance Cook, I am not saying these things to injure the medical profes sion, but to help the poor devil whose digestion has utterly gone back on him. The average fellow thinks he could not do his work with out the early morning meal. He thinks he would grow faint and break down. But any programme different from the one we have been running we think won't suit our in dividual taste. I am not surprised that three states have already declared for Bryan for president. I believe forty-nine states and territories will speak out, and I believe Mr. Bryan, if nominated, will be elected president of the United States. I am sure the corporation and combines even, including the packers, will contribute no more money, and I doubt if they will con tribute their votes and influence against Mr. Bryan. I am still for Teddy and believe he has made a manly fight for the people against all combines and comers. He has been scarred and hurt, but no man can have a victory without fight and a scarless an bloodless fight will bring a very poor victory. I believe Mr. Roosevelt will have about enough by the time his present terms ends, and 'I don't believe the Republican party can trot out a man thattan beat Mr. Bryan for presidency. $Ar. Bryan is honest. He is intelleual . He is courageous. He is all? Mr. Roose velt is, minus some thiisge that Mr. Roosevelt may be. It 'frill be very hard to get the yellow dejg eliminated from our national politics. He may change his color, and ye be the same old dog. but the mick-rake has helped wonderfully, a$ well, per chance as it has hurt, js The ratebill still hangi fire but it will go through, no doufet. It ought to go through in the besj form pos sible. It seems that President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania railroad, did wisely when he returned to lok after his underlings. The confession on the part of his underlings, i not news to theworld. Shippers ir Pennsylva nia and West Virginia have known these things all the timeind suffered from them, and if th0 interstate railroad commission is empowered to give the people a fairdefl, that is all they ask, and it is all tie railroads can demand and maintain the respect of the American peopled Yours truly, Sam f. Jones. Dumb 21 Years, Speaks. Chicago 1 isi;iteh. j After 21 years of silence, during which time he was unable to utter an intelligible sound, Louis Mendel son suddenly recovered His power of speech yesterday. Thd return of words was as mysteriousas the afflic tion which silenced him o long. Mendelson is 38 years bid and un til yesterday had not spojken since he was 17 years old. To the surprise of his three brothers andhis friends. he walked into their wholesale liquor store and said : "Hello, is this hot Enough for vou . Samuel Mendelson, one of his brothers, was so shocked: bv the un expected remark that hse failed to answer the question. j Mendelson was unable to explain the phenomenon. He told his broth ers he had felt a sudden? tickling in his vocal cords and the impulse to attempt speech had grown so strong that he could not resisie it. When he tried it, he discovered that his voice responded. ; Mendelson lost his voice after an attack of fever when he was in his 17th vear. ,' Snake's Hug Crushe Her. Mt. riivix.int. low 1 Mspatch. Loretta, a snake charner with a circus showing here, ws given a crushing hug to-day r)yV" a monster anaconda of the raching Variety. She may die from the effects of the sqeeze. The snake den contains 40 speci mens and when the encjiantress en tered the cage to-day she was in stantly attacked by one ojf the largest snakes. Her cries brought show men to her aid, and thfcv pounded the monster, which frothed as its huge coil writhed under rjthe attack. The open door of thefj cage gave the anaconda its opportunity ' to es cape, and it raced swiftly across lots to the open country. Men, women and children run terrified. When last seen the snake was headed for the timber, carrying in i$s distended jaws a squealing hog. . The heart that is in th$ right place bleeds for the poor young Queen of Spain. She nearly lost Jier life on her wedding day, at the Bands of an anarchist, and what was an almost equal trial was that, according to the convention of the country, she had to attend the bull fight Satur day. There is a story easily be lievable, that she shranlf from the ordeal and wept when told that she must go. The Associated-Press story is that she witnessed the killing of eight bulls with compla(sancy and, without slinking, saw aj horse just in front of her torn to pieces by a bull. She must be a girl of fine nerve. There is nothing more re volting to Anglo-Saxon -sensibilities than a bull fight. To tbjs tenderly reared Anglo-Saxon girf this cruel performance must have jbeen pecu liarly shocking and must? afford her many nightmares. Thi form of amusement is for the Latins it is not for those of the youiig Queen's blood. The fight is to? cruel and unequal. Charlotte Observer. ri- r i The world is less familiar with the Snake River of Idaho tha)i with any other river of importanci in the Uni ted States, and yet it is (fur seventh largest river more thanla thousand miles long, says the June World's Work. It is one of themost won derful and impressive -j waterways in the world. The few who have tried to follow its winging course though wild and forbidding extents of lava plateaux do not vonder that so little is known of it, for no rail roads traverse the lifejess desert that borders it, and naj boats, for hundreds of miles at a stretch, dare ply its waters. It is navigable for only one hundred miles from its junction with the Columbia to the Idaho boundary, and in several isola ted sections of the interior. For the greater part of its course it flows through old and magnificent can yons of its own making though deso late and awful wastes, thfe result of vomiting craters and of convulsions f the earth. REDUCTION OF TIME IN MILLS. Charlotte Observer. A representative body of reputable business men can generally be trusted to do about the right thing; which is preliminary to a reference to the ac tion last week of the South Carolina cotton manufacturers upon the sub ject of the hours of work in the mills. The president of 73 mills, representing 2,335,000 spindles, met at Greenville and among other things unanimously adopted a resolution "That it is the sense of this confer ence that the running time of the cotton mills of South Carolina be vol untarily reduced by the mill mana gers on July 1, 1906, to sixty-four hours per week, and on July 1, 1908, sixty-two hours per week, and on July 1, 1910, sixty hours per week." This means that after the first of next month the working day in South Carolina cotton factory will be ten hours and forty minutes; after July 1, 1908, ten hours and twenty min utes, and after July 1, 1910, ten hours. The work in a cotton mill is light and for that class ten hours is not too long a day. The action of these mill men was not taken under any sort of coercion or fear, but, as is indicated in the resolution, was jurely voluntary. The thing had een tried upon the South Carolina legislature and had failed. WThat the Legislature had refused to do the mill men did of their own motion, and their action was humane, fair, just. We would be glad to see the same action taken by the cotton man ufacturers of this State. It will be noted that the reduction of time in South Carolina is upon a graduated scale, so that the ten-hour day is not to be reached until July 1, 1910- four years hence. While ten hours' work a day, of the cotton factory charac ter, entails no hardship it is enough and all Southern mill men will no doubt ultimately come to it of their own accord. Life a Century Ago. One hundred vears atro a man could not take a ride on a steam boat. He had never seen an electric lieht or dreamed of an electric car. He could not send a telegram. He couldn't talk through the tele phone. He could not ride a bicycle. He could not call in a stenogra pher and dictate a letter. He had never heard of the the germ theory or worried over bacilli or bacteria. He never heard a'phoiiogragh talk or saw a kinetoscope turn out a prize fight. He never saw through a Webster's unabridged dictionary with the aid of a Roentgen ray. He had never taken a ride in an eleavator. He had never seen his wife use a sewing machine. He had never struck a match. He couldn't take an anesthetic and have his leg cut off without feeling it. He had never seen a reaper or a self-binding harvester. He had never crossed an iron bridge. Ready With Information. "I say, boy," remarked a would-be-fisherman, "are there any fish in this stream?", "Yes." i "Will they bite?" "None of them ever bit me mister; but you don't need to go into the wa ter to fish if you're afraid of em." Good roads will. lead to the general improvement of the countryside. The farmer who drives to and from town over a spacious, smooth, well cared for road will unconsciously come to effect corresponding im provements in the management and operation of the farm. If you would be thought a fool, play with a loaded pistol, if a knave, with loaded dice. A Wadesboro convict who was shot while attempting to escape, said he wanted to get away because the neas were so greasy. ' But they (weren't slick enough to aid in his AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2 H.
