A National Bank Is under the supervision ' of the 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. 4. The stockholders are held 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. G. 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 NationalBank Capital $100,000 Surplus and Undivided Profits $26,000 No large amount required to start an account. stating that he was nrmly convinced of the guilt of the two petitioners de clined for that reason to hear the ar gument and decide the question df pardon. He therefore designated the council of tate to sit in the case in his stead. - .-- Here is a splendid argument In tbi shape of an example of the need of a pardoning board to settle all such matters instead of, compelling the governor to bear the brunt of the whole burden of hearing and decid ing applications for pardon. Such a case as this might happen at almost any time. Not only is it liable to oc cur that the governor may have been one of the attorneys in the trial of a convict who afterwards sues for par don as in this case, but there is the additional possibility that the chief executive may be prejudiced one way or another before he has heard the argument, as was the case with State Treasurer Lacy yesterday when he declined to sit with the council. There is the danger of pardoning power resting with any one man. If the disposition of a man's life or lib erty in the judicial courts is limited to the discretion of twelve men, it does not seem reasonable that his life or liberty after trial should be passed upon by one ' man, and that without the regulations hedging about a judicial trial. This is the first though that occurs to us in this connection." There is an other, however, and it is that we cannot understand whence the gov ernor derived his authority to turn over to the council of state this hear ing. The constitution on the sub ject of pardons merely says that The governor shall have power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all of fences (except m cases pi impeach ment,) upon such conditions as he may think jroper, subject to such regulations as may be provided by law relative to the manner of apply ing for pardons." Of course, it may be contended that the constitution speaks only of the granting of pardons and not of the hearing of the applications, and that the governor might, acting un der its letter, appoint some other pers to hear the argument and evi dence and then grant or decline to grant the pardon upon their report to him. But we do not for a moment think that such was ever the inten tion of the f ramers of our state gov ernment, nor do we think that Gov ernor Glenn is the kind of man to be satisfied to exercise any power vest ed in him upon the say-so of any one else. i That is the sort of a muddle we are in with our present pardon laws. The board of pardons is the thing, and if this White case results in the estab lishment of that board finally, there will be some good out of it, at last. At any rate, the result of this hear ing will never be satisfactory. If the pardon is refused, it will be thought . I iL .I ' - eitner uiat me governor was preju diced or that if he himself had heard the argument he would have decided the other way, possibly inclined -in that direction from his zeal to be impartial. If the pardon is granted, it will be claimed that it is illegal be cause the governor did not hear the application himself. Boll Weevil Plentiful. Baton Rogue, La., March 29. The cotton boll weevil will be unusually numerious and destructive this year, according to the report by Dr. Hunter in charge of the bol weevil investigation for the depart ment of agriculture. He says: "Conditions indicate clearly tha the weevils will be unusually abun dant in the cotton fields, and that great damage is to be expected."

We should be grateful and glad for all the good that comes into our lives and patiently bear our trials, believ ing that all things if rightly used will fit us for the enjoyment of perfect happiness hereafter. The Prosperous South. Baltimore 8un. The Bureau of Manufactures in Washington, through trade and con sular reports, is giving wide publicity to statements showing North Caro- ina S extraordinary growth in pros perity. The industrial development of this progressive Southern State has been almost amazing in recent year. Governor Ulenn does not hesi tate to prophesy that in tvo years it will stand first among the cotton manufacturing States of the country. The State has the advantage of abundant water power and an agree able climate, together with the raw material for the cotton industry al most at the very doors of the mills. North Carolina has, in addition to its cotton mills, many other industries, arge and small, which in the aggre gate are a considerable item in her wealth. She offers to other South era States an excellent example of what may be accomplished by intelli gent enterprise and practical meth ods. Tennessee, Alabama and Geor gia are other Southern States which are attracting manufacturing enter prises. With an adequate labor supply, the development of the South will continue without interruption. It is to be honed that Congress will take no steps which will check ttffe introductio into the Southern States of thrifty and industrious im migrants. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral DeGraw has reaffirmed his rul ing, which puts it squarely up to patrons of rural free delivery routes to decide whether or not they desire a continuance of the privileges re sulting from this service. In a Washington dispatch be de dares that he will insist on "an ad herence to the regulations requiring that boxes on rural mail routes should be erected by the roadside, so that carriers can easily get access to them without deviating from their routes, or dismounting from their vehicles. Failure to comply with the regulations in this resrject. the decision states, "is likely to result in the discontinuance of mail by rural earners." It is a very small and reasonable requirement that the government exacts of the beneficiaries of these routes.. They must, in the first place .'Dro vide a weather-Droof box. costing from $1 to $1.50. for the re ception of outgoing and incoming mail. They must, m the second place, so locate that box that the carrier will be subjected to no de lays or inconveniences in covering daily the distance allotted to him. Certainly the privilege of sending and receiving mail daily at locations far removed from postoffices or rail roads is worth the insignificant in vestment of time and money re quired for compliance with the de partment's regulations. The benefits of that privilege are too obvious and have been too often demonstrated and argued to necessi tate reiteration to an intelligent reading public. The mam danger is that the indif ference of a few residents in scat tered communities may threaten the welfare of the wide-awake, progres sive majority. The reality of that danger has been shown in the case of Fulton county, where one route has been ordered discontinued because ONE-THIRD of the residents re fused to comply with the sensible requirements of the department. Now that the order of discontinu ance has been issued, they are wak ing up and ordering boxes. A few mossbacks, a few men in clined to penny-wise and pound foolish parsimony have the power to retard the intellectual and mate rial development of their communi ties. Their neighbors ought to see to it, in each instance, that they are shamed into falling in line with the army that is working for progress; and nor retrogression. TO atODXJUf CQTJVm HOJf. week ChartoU Cferaoirl. The Concord Times this makes the suggestion that every farmer place his name and the name of bis farm on bis road gate. "Not only would persons driving to a place the more easily find it," says The Times, "but it would add more pleasure and Interest to people driv ing from place to place. This last result would bare special " effect with regard to well kept and pretty houses. An observing person will seldom pass a beautiful farm without desiring to know who is its enterpris ing owner." That is the idea for the modern rural home. The Meck lenburg farmers have paid more attention in the past twelve, months to beautifying their homes and mak ing their surroundings attractive than ever before. In most cases, the name on the rural delivery ; box indicates the owner of the farm, but in other cases, the farm itself bears a name, the houses and fences are painted, there are flowers bordering the road and the walk to the house passes through well-kept lawns. : At some convenient corner in the house is the telephone. The farmer can know the state of the market before he loads his cotton to bring it to town, and his wife and daughters can keep up. with the gossip of both county and city. The country home, and life in the country is quite different from what it was a few years ago. Lookout, you little boy who is smoking cigarettes on the sly. What do you want to be when you grow up?

If you want to be pitied by your folks, despised by the girls, and held in contempt by your fellows, keep on smoking and end your days in an insane asylum. Anglo-Saxon.

A ghasty sight met the gaze of those who wit nessed the killing of 11-year-old Jes se Pay den by a train last night about 6:15 o clock m front of the Tomlin- son Chair Manufacturing Company, a few feet south of the depot. The boy is a son of Charlie Payden, a hard-working, respected man, living on Willowbrook street. Young ray- den had jumped off a moving freight on to the side track. At the same moment a box car which had been given a shove oy the shif ting engine was bounding a foot or so behind him. In an instance the body of Payden was knocked down across the track and the wheels of the car Dassed over his neck, completely sev ering it from his body. His right arm was also mashed into a pulp, while the left hand was mangled in a horrible manner. The Keeley Cure Do You Know What It Does?. .

From a Washington Letter. . 'Foreign relations," said Senator Cullom, the chairman of the Senate's committee on foreign relations, "are delicate things, and must be handled delicately. . Foreign relations, in fact, remind me of a newly married couple I heard about the other day. Their life had been very happy for a year. Not a cloud had married their perfect felicity. Then, one morning, : the, wife came down to breakfast morose and wretched. 'She was snappish with her husband. She would hardly speak to him, And for a long .while she refused i to explain her unwonted conduct. "Finally, though, the young man insisting that he be told why his wife was treating him so badly, she looked up with tears in her eyes and said: '"John Smith, if I dream again that you kissed another woman I won t speak to you again as long as I live.'" Red Pepper Broke Up Show. Wilmington, Del., March 24. Harry Hammer, 20 years old, was arrested to-day charged with causing a panic at the Lyceum Theatre last night by blowing a red pepper com pound from the gallery. In a few seconds practically every one in the large audience was sneezing. The outbreak, was so intense ' that the show was stopped, with the victims m a state of great excitement. Ham mer was very generous in blowing about the powder. When taken to the police station a little pepper and other compounds labeled "Cachoo, harmless: only makes you sneeze." was taken from him. He was locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct. Earlier in the evening the manager of a moving picture show rushed in to the police station and excitedly yelled that everybody in his place was sneezing. Captain Evans was unable to catch this ottender. lhe same trick was played in a prominent res taurant last night. Only So We Get Xmplratloa Trosa Nature, But Health mm Well.
