Why a NATIONAL BANK is Best the supervision of the 1. A National Bank is under 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 TIMES a year. 1 The stockholders are held s responsible for DOUBLE the amount of their stock. This is for the benefit of the depositors. 5. The capital stock is required to be paid in cash, and must be held intact for the benefit of the depositors. 6. The Bank is required each year to add to its surplus account before declaring dividends. This is 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.

For full particulars, address, THE KEELEY- INSTITUTE, - GREENSBORO, N. C. Legislation ia Hot the Remedy for , Wrong Doings of the.Times. Albany News. Just at this time all the world ia clamoring for a law to remedy every evil. We are not much of an alarm ist, but as we see it, this nation is drifting towards paternalism. We teach our boys around the fireside to make money, get it honestly if they can but get money. Get money is engrafted into the curriculum of our schools, and we send our boys there that their wits may be sharp ened and their hands trained for the school of" financial graft. And thus we send forth into the marts of trade cultured financial sharks to rob and plunder 'and steal and court and marry-for dollars and social prestige. They grind human flesh and woman's virtue into dollars, and make a bar gain counter of wedlock's holy altar. Then the people rise up and say : "Give us a law to restrain our rob ber chiefs and put a check rein upon our fashion queens." But that's not the remedy, because the American homes are turning them out faster than we can turn them dawn. It's like greasing a horse's tail for the lampers, we are doctoring too far away from the sore. It's not law that we need in this country, but it's willow switches and cowhide whins. rock piles, chopping wood, hoeing in the garden, pulling weeds in the back yard, pailing the cows, shuck ing corn down in the barn, feeding the hogs and slopping the pigs, mak ing tater hills and sticking the beans on wet days and picking cotton and shelling corn at odd times. Yes, we needing more knitting needles and darning needles, patching pants and darning sox, dish washing, scrubbing floors and playing Yankee Doodle with the rolling pin at home. We are raising too many society fops. parlor soldiers and cigarette suckers and street loafers. When we see a little foppish short dress silly girl. just jumping into her teens, gadding up and down the street, talking slang and flirting with the boys, en tertaining young jobless bloods in the parlor in the night time, when she ought to be in her little trundle bed beneath mother's wings, tucked snugly m ; when we see knee pant kids and beardless youths loafing up and down the streets too lazy to work and too trifling to think, and too stuck up to do odd jobs around home, we exclaim, it's not statutory law that we need, but it's parental law. :-.-,r. - Then, with this dark picture be fore us, we turn our gaze and peer into the future and we see still a dark picture its crowded jails, with criminals peeping through the pars, asylums, hospitals, poor houses and squalid poverty, gambling dens, crowded court dockets and hells of of prostitution. Then we hear the people cry out: "GiKg us a law to save our boys and girls." But the remedy is a gross error: you are ad ministering the medicine at the wrong place on the sore, you are doctoring too far away from the seat of the disease. Napoleon said : 'What France needs is mothers." That is what this country needs just now diligent and watchful mothers, pure, f rural, economical homes and old-fashioned daddies, who can wield a willow with greater ease than their sons can handle a billiard cue or poker chips. We read in a newspaper the other day of a court record in the State of exas with three hundred divorce cases docketed thereon. We thought my God ! whither are we drifting? he demagogue says : bive us a stringent law to regulate . the great evil. But that s another gross er ror. You cannot entwine around the marriage altar the garment of purity or make the marriage vow sacred with the cold letter of the aw. When you enforce its obedi ence with the mandates of the law you prune away its beautiful verdure and sap the vigor of the fragrant rose of wedlock and it withers away and dies, as it s more of a divine than a civil institution. - What we've got to do to remedy this evil is to go back to the old fash ion way of courtin. In our raising up it was fashionable for meff and women to get acquainted with each other. A teiiow would go over to his girl's house Saturday evening and stay all night, and help his sweetheart wash the dishes and rope off the calf while she milked, go a coon hunting Saturday night with her big brother, and stay all day Sunday and help chase the spring rooster down for dinner. He got acquainted with the whole house hold, sparked her daddy and mother and cultivated a familiarity with the whole business, even the dogs. He sparked his girl in the cowpen, down at the big spring, under the - droop- mer willows, behind the kitchm door. in the big sitting room as well as the parlor. In those good old fashioned days, when a couple stood at- hymen s al tar. it meant a sure enuf wedding ; they were not strangers to each other, and a hundred chances to one it meant a union that death alone would sever. In those good days a divorce case m court was rarely heard of. ' ' Sell onr Ftiirm, Buy a, Farm, . -Buy a Oity Lot, bright member of the Senate of the United States, is posing as the children's friend and shedding copious tear over the condition of the children who are employed in Southern cotton mills. This soft-hearted citizen is not-outraged at the cruel treatment of children anywhere else in the world except in the South. It is for tunate that the negro children of this section are not in the mills, for if they were, the gentle Senator's heart would break; it is bowed down in great sorrow over the woes of the poor whites. Now the regulaj tion of child labor is one of the press ing problems of the hour. The legis lature would be at better business addressing itself to practical ques tions like this instead of trying tc keep the editors of the State pure and clean, but for kidgloved gentle men like Mr. Beveridge to weep over the woes of the children of the South is a trifle too thin to be taken seriously anywhere. The opportu nity to get off a little oratory in be half of the silent sufferers was too much for Beveridge to stand, and so he arose in his place and curled off his polished phrases and bored for water even in the hard and barren field known as the Senate of tLe United States. It was very eloquent and very pathetic, and all that, but it failed to fling the hard-hearted Senate, and the country, instead of the tribute of a tear, bestowed a knowing smile upon the fervid ora tor. If by any means in the world the labor in Southern mills could" be curtalied, those north of Mason and Dixon's lire would have a better During 1906 the wealth of the South increased $7,300,000 for every day of the year, Sundays included, or a total of $2,690,000,000. The actual increase in assessed value was $1,076,479,788, and this was on the average 40 per cent, of the true value. The amazing magnitude of this gain of $7,300,000 a day is strik ingly shown by the statement of the London Express, . which, bemoaning the inability of Great Britain to keep pace with America's growth, put the increase in Great Britain's wealth at $7,000,000 a week. Contrast the South s increase of $7,300,000 a day with Great Britain's $7,000,000 a week and then think of the future. Great Britain, with comparatively few natural resources, -dependent upon the outside world for nearly all its foodstuffs, for much of its iron ore, for all of its cotton and a large parti of its lumber, and with only 10,000 square miles of coal, of which a large portion has been worked out. has 40,000,000 people crowded into an area equal to that of less than half of Texas. t On the other hand, look- at the South, with the world's cotton trade in its absolute domination, with 62,- 000 square miles of virgin coal fields, with iron ore sufficient to duplicate for years tocome the whole iron and steel trade of all Europe, with al most limitless soil capabilities already producing over 800,000,000 bushels of grain a year and several hundred million dollars' worth of diversified farm Trvliito oKla fn mmAitta tnnA. chance to regain the ground, they I stuffs for hundreds of millions, able are losing every day.

It is stated on behalf of the execu tive committee cf the National As sociation of Employing Lithograph ers that it has declined a proposal by former Mayor Seth Low, as chair man of the conciliation committee of the . National Civic Federation, suggesting that President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federa tion of Labor, act as intermediary to settle the strike of the lithographers throughout the country. The strike, which is for the eight-hour work day and the closed shop, began last Au gust. In declining, the employers wrote : This strike, not of our own seek ing, has been fought and won by our association. After six months' of warfare, entailing enormous sacri fices of time and money, we have es tablished in the lithographic trade the open shop, where equal opportu nities are offered to all men. : We cannot, therefore, even con sider any conference looking to a re sumption of relations with the un ions in our trade, it being the defuv ite policy of our association to abso lutely cease relations with any union that has used the arbitrary and un civilized weapon , or the strike, in stead of accepting the equitable and peaceful method offered byjis. Southern Power Company's Tower Line. Vorkville, S. C, Enquirer." Mr.'Harry Wylie of the Southern Power Company's construction force was in Yorkville Wednesday, having come down from Clover where he has been, in connection with the work of erecting , towers for' the power line. At present the company is erecting a line ox steei lowers to extend from the Great Catawba Falls to Gastonia by way of the pow er house at Neely's ferry and Clover The work now extends over nracti cally the whojfe distance: but there are numerous skips because of de lays in getting towers of the right height. The towers are to be 35, 45 and 50 feet high, the different heights to make them more adjustable topo graphical irregularities so as to get rid of zig-zags. But most of the towers received so far have been of the 35 foot height and they are being placed only where they are to re main, leaving skips between. The pole line between Yorkville and the power nouse is not to De replaced oy steel towers at present but may be later, r - Sausage to be Used Next Summer. The Raleigh Progressive Farmer gives the following recipe for put ting up sausage for next summer s use. which is highly recommended: Grind the meal fine. To fifteen pounds of meat add one teacupful of salt and four level tablespoonfuis of black pepper nothing else. Mix well with hands. Make into cakes and fry nearly done. Be sure to place the fried cpkes where they will get cold. After they are cold (which is very important) pack them in a fin can closely. . Now pour the surplus lard fried out over the packed cakes. If there is not enough, melt more lard and pour over until the cakes are covered half an inch -with it. When you begin to use them (about next July or August), scrape the lard off enough to get enough from the top layer, then press it back carefully so that the air-is excluded, and your sausage will be all right to the last cake. manufacturing than that of the whole country to-day, with millions of available water-power, 500,000 horse-power for electrical tansmis sion j being already, under develop ment, and when you have catalogued these you have mentioned only a few of the South's strong points. Watson to Fight Bailey. Tom Watson, the Georgia politi cian, is to found a chain ot newspa pers across the South, and Thomas H. Tibbies, of Omaha, who was Wat son s running mate on the national Populist ticket in 1904, is to be man aging editor and chief editorial writer of the combination. Tibbies has resigned his position as editor of the Investigator, in Omaha, and will take his new position with Watson on March 1. Included in the chain will be the Jeffersonian Magazine, a monthly publication, which Watson is now publishing, and Watson s Jefferso nian Weekly newspaper. As soon as possible, probably within two months, a newspaper will be issued in Texas, and a fight will be made on Senator Bailey. The. point at which this paper will be published has not ben decided, but will probably be Austin. A new paper will be issued in either Louisiana or Mississippi, and later the Southwest will get still another of the Watson papers. Sneezes Himself to Death. The papers have contained here of late several dispatches recounting the personal misfortunes of Congress man Blackburn. That he is in hard lines financially is a matter of regret to us. A man who meets reverses is always to be pitied, even if he was the architect of his own misfortune?. Unmerciful disaster seemed to fol low fast and follow faster in his case. and we regret that the enterpruurur correspondent in Washington wanted to set bim up only to knock him down with the announcement that he was financially crippled. 1 ihe story is published that Black burn may go to Arizona. If he does, if he goes there and mixes with the boys, even as he formerly mixed with them in Wilkes, it wiU-not be long until you hear of his going back to Congress. Blackburn ia a good fel low in his class, and if he gets settled a - . . in Arizona you win hear rrom him. Mark this prediction. j In North Carolina his cake is dough. He has lost most all! his friends and he has never established any particular business, so he will find it hard to get on his feet in ' hi9 former home. Anyway we are sorry to know that financial reverses have embarassed him, and hope the papers win not print any more 01 nis per sonal misfortunes.

Bad Stomach Trouble Cored. It's easy to make men believe things they want to believe. Having been sick for the past two years with a bad stomach trouble, a friend gave me a ose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They did me so much good, that I bought a bottle of them and have used twelre bottles in all. To-day I am well of a had stomach trouble. Mrs. John Lowe, Oooper, Maine. These tablets are for sale by all druggistsfJonoord, and A. W Moose, Mt. Pleasant. . Dennis Kelleher, a big, strong ma chinist, began sneezing at his work bench in the Fletcher Marine bhops at Ifoboken, N. J. He sneezed and sneezed, each sneeze growing louder and more violent than its predeces sor. I The other men, who knew what it was to get a tickling iron filling down the throat or up the nose, stopped work to laugh at Kelleher's red, distorted face and convulsed shoulders. They were still laughing when he gave a sneeze that almost tore on the top of his head.- He threw his hands to his mouth and dropped. with blood running out between his fingers. Then the other men stop ped laughing, and one ran for a doc tor and another for a priest. When the ambulance surgeon ar rived he said Kelleher had died al most instantly. Some of the larger blood vessels of the head had been ruptured. i . He Didn't Inject It. An elderly resident of Lynn, Mass., was talking about Mrs. Baker Eddy, the ! head of the Christian Science Church. "When she lived here in Lynn," said the old man, "she conducted-a temperance campaign for a time She did a lot of good, though now and she met with a rebuff. 'The story goes that a tramp once asked her for help. 1 11 help you, my friend, said Mrs. Eddy, but hrst you must an swer me one question, uo you, or do you not, drink beer?

'I cannot tell you.

Erratt, who accompa nied the expedition which left San Francisco three months ago to search for the treasure supposed to be buried with the steamer Golflen Gate off the coast of Mexico, has re returned wiihout any treasure. The expedition was headed by WJ C Johnson! of Boston, who four times previously had tried and failed to secure the treasure. The Golden Gate, which left forty- four years ago for Panama with more than $3,000,000 in gold, took Are when off the Mexican coast, burned to the water's edge and sank. The 'men of the Arago expedition built a pier out to the wreck, rigged powerful pumps, and on January 1 were all ready to pump out sand and eald when a storm swept the beach and carried away their pier and most of the wreckage gear. Johnson has not abandoned hope and will arrange for another expedihen. The railroad minion of Texas has just iued th following order: In pursuance of notice and hear ing, it ordrvd by the railroad commission of Texas that the follow ing rule and regulation with refer ence to the operation of pasarncrr trains be adopted and observed by all railroad companiea and receivers operating line of railway In the sutes of Texas: "Rule 1. Kach and every railroad company operating a railroad In this state shall operate over all parts of its line or lines at least one train each ay each day, . Sundays ex cepted, for the t ran porta tion of passenger. Rule 3. Each and every railroad company operating a railroad in this state shall start its passenger train from points of origin In accordance with advertised schedule, and aaid trains, except from unavoidable ac cident thereunto en route, shall ob served and conform to the published schedule as to arrival and departure at the several stations on the line: Provided, that trains may be held not to exceed thirty minute at origin or junction points with other lines to make connections with train on such other lines.

The American Tobacco Company does more business in North Carolina than any other trust and if an anti trust law is adopted it will feel it most. We do not pretend to say that the tobacco trust is better than other trust, but we cannot see where it would benefit the State to run it out of North Carolina while it would be allowed to continue busi ness in other states. ' We believe it would be much better for all con cerned, with the exceptioifof Dur ham, if the trust could be dissolved and the Dukes , continue in business uV Durham, and the Reynolds in Winston, and so on, but no action of the North Carolina legislature could bring this about.
