Why a NATIONAL BANK is Best
1. A National Bank Is tinder the supervision of the
United States Government. I
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. 1
5. The capital stock is required to be paid in cash, jand
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 ia for the
further security of the depositors.
1. 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 atart an account.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR COTTOW
FASMZES.
News and Observer.
Experience has shown the South
ern farmer that he gets less money
for a bumper crop of cotton than for
a smaller crop. The officers of the
Southern Cotton Association are urg
ing fanners not to increase acreage
in cotton but to decrease two per
cent, l hey advise that redueed acre
age be planted in food crops. The
newer methods will cause more cot
ton to be raised per acre this year
than heretofore if the seasons are
favorably. The increased demand
for cotton is such that, according to
Mr. R. H. Edmonds, farmers need
never expect to sell cotton at the old
time low prices. The cost of culti
vation has increased so much that
eight cent cotton would come nearer
bankrupting the farmers than six
cent cotton did twelve years ago, and
that put the farmers next door to
the poorhouse.
Mr. James Petry. president of the
London Cotton Brokers' Association,
landed in New York a few days ago.
He gave it as hi3 opinion that Eng
land will need a million bales more
of American cotton this year than
last and h said:
'The English spinners, are enjoy
ing great prosperity, and great diffi
culty in getting good quality of raw
material: there is a famine in good
grades and the buyers will quickly
pick up the hrst ottered. I expect
to see the export American cotton
moved faster than ever before.
'We thought 12.000.000 bales
ample for consumption, and if more
were put on the market we should
see prices slacken. There appear to
be more than 13,000,000 bales in
sight, and that increase would be
enough to knock the market down
were it not for the demand for con
sumption. The prosperity of the
Lancashire spinners is phenomenal,
and for two years they have ex
perienced - an unusual demand for
their products.
The opening of Manchuria last
year resulted in immense sales by
the English manufacturers, besides
greater demands in the colonies.
The slump we have looked for has
not come, and the best grades of
American cotton will at once be
snapped up because already there is
a large shortage in good cotton.
r ranee, too, is short of cotton
and wants a part of the new crop as
quickly as it gets to the seaboard.
Trade in Germany is not quite so
good, but has been tip top. The
English spinner working now on ex
tra orders is the great consumer.
What new mills have been built
are nearly all for the use of Egyptian
cotton, and it is not new mills that
are calling for the cotton of the
United States, but it is the increased
business of the older mills." " I
If the farmers are wise they will
not permit the statement of Mr. Pa-
ftry to induce them to grow a larger
crop, but will keep down the acreage
so as to make the spinners pay a fair
price for the staple. A fair crop,
produced on a ten per cent reduction
in acreage, means increased and in
creasing prosperity for the whole
South and the country; a bumper
crop means a return to conditions
when cotton growers got only bare
cost for their big crops and bad to
lve from hand to mouth, southern
armers do not wish to make cotton
too high. They only wish fair profits
and fair returns for their labor. Ex
perience has taught them that they
cannot get these by growing bumper
crops, but by keeping down the
acreage and making hog and hominy
at home.
We Should Say So.

The new law cuts the number of
whiskey prescriptions given by the
physicians of Charlotte to about half.
To an outsider this would seem to in
dicate that under the old law the
privilege was more or less abused.
Mr. James Petry, president of the
ondon Cotton Brokers' Association,
who has just arrived in New York,
announces that England will need a
million, bales more of American cot
ton this year than she needed last
year.

Our Congressmen have recently
voted to increase their salaries for
the reason, I suppose, that five thou
sand dollars will not support the dig
nity of the positions they are chosen
to fill. Of course, no one will deny
but what the average family may
live in Washington, even, on five
thousand a year and lay up some
thing, provided a little economy is
practiced, but sports, fast livers and
pleasure seekers, if they undertake
to live like millionaires, are more
fastidious and harder to please than
old-time Democrats. Salaries ..were
not increased because Senators and
Representatives were going to bed
hungry, but that they might have
more to spend in luxurious lit ing,
and in a continual round of J those
costly pleasures and indulgencies
which are leading toward that condi
tion which undermined and at last
destroyed the democracy of Rome
toward that indulgence and profli
gacy which made her an easy prey
to those northern nations which had
not learned and practiced high living.
If our Representatives must imi
tate the methods of that self-indulgence
which may be enjoyed by those
who have grown opulent and imperi
ous by graft and tl.e consequent op
pression of the hewers of wood and
the drawers of, water, then, of
course, they must have more money.
But if they wish to strengthen the
principles of that democracy of
which they so often boast when al
luding to the founders of our repub
lic, they should not be too ready to
set examples of luxurious living that
are so greatly in contrast to the liv
ing of those who till the soil and by
the sweat of their brows, and by
diligent economy can do but litte
more than keep the wolf from their
hearthstones. ;
We see oneof the sons of the soil
who, at the last election, voted for a
man to represent him in Congress.
He is ploughing a mule, and upon
his labor a wife and two or three
children are dependent. The sun
shines hot, and going from side to
side of his little field all day he ber
comes so weary he cannot sit up
long enough after supper to read
even the title page of that big speech
which his representative has sent
him, accompanied with a ten cent
paper of seed, but falls down and
sleeps- that he may have strength to
do another day's work, if perchance
he can sleep for thinking of how he
shall get the next bag of meal br the
next side of meat.
What a big pile of money would
seven thousand five hundred dollars
be to himl It would buy and stock
a farm, and lay the foundation of a
comfortable living for a life time.
But it takes seven thousand five
hundred dollars for his congressman
to live on a single year. And I guess
it does, but when he loses his seat
and has to drop back into private
life he will doubtless be able or ob
liged to live on less.
Ours is a great country and our
public men have high notions and try
to take in the whole show, in the way
of high living. We are certainly ex
travagant as compared with other
nations in paying congressmen.
Great Britain don t pay her mem
bers of Parliament anything. France
pays her Senators and Deputies eigh
teen hundred dollars a year and mile
age. Germany pays the members of
her Reichstag six hundred dollars a
year and deducts twenty marks a day
for absence. Spain pays the mem
bers of Cortes nothing except free
transportation on the railroads.
Mexico pays her congressmen about
a thousand dollars a year. Canada
pays her members twenty-five hun
dred dollars a year, deducting fifteen
dollars a day for abserce.
And so we find that all the other
nations pay in propoition to those
mentioned.
What a time our representatives
must have! But I suppose Uncle
Sam's got the money and is willing
to pay his workmen well, and let
them splurge, if the poor man who
ploughs his mule does have a hard
time. If I were in Congress I am
afraid I d want to splurge too. I

The development in this, the Pied
mont section of the South, along
electrical lines is surpassed only by
the electrical development at Niagara
Falls. The awakening of interest
along these lines within the past few
years is nothing short of marvelous.
The people of the Piedmont are real
izing the possibilities in the wonder
ful natural advantages of this section
for the development of electricial
power and they are bending every
nerve to make use of the opportuni
ties that surrounded them. The
excellence of this section, for such
development, has been revealed to
moneyed men from all sections of
the United States and capitalists
from the North and West are
migrating to the Piedmont, where,
with their means, they are achieving
things that once were looked upon as
impossible.
The natural water power of the
Piedmont is all that could be desired,
and upon the streams that flow
through it have been established
plants that generate inestimable
power, and tne worK nas dul Degun.
The future of the Fiedmont rests
in the hands of the capitalists. Sa
gacity, persistence and wisdom will
make of this section the greatest
scene of electrical development in the
world. There is undeveloped power
to be had from our streams sufficient
to run the looms and spindles of the
world.
For wants of space we can only
take a cursory glance at a few of the
arger ventures that have been un
dertaken.
The Whitney development on the
Yadkin River, near Salisbury, is one
of the most colossal electrical ven
tures ever attempted in this country,
entailing an expense ranging into the
millions. When the vast amount, of
power possible to be obtained at this
power site is fully developed, there
will haye been enough electricial
power gathered to run thousands of
spindles and looms. It simply means
that entire territory will be born
anew. Hundreds ot new cotton mills
and manufacturing plans of every
description will be the reward for
the efforts. '
But even greater than this develop
ment is that which is being planned
and accomplished by the Southern
rower Company, whose headquarters
are. in our own city. In fact there
is scarcely room for comparison, so
much more extensive and gigantic
are the plans for the latter company.
The schedule this giant company has
arranged and is carrying out is
almost incomprehensible. Suffice it
to say that when all of the power
sites it now owns and is now
developing shall have been fully
developed more than one million
electrical horse power will have been
generated.
This company owns a chain of
power sites extending from Western
North Carolina far into South Caro
lina. Armies of hands are busy at
these sveral sites and slowlybut
surely the vast undertakings near
completion. .
It was only about ten days ago that
the Great Falls statior s. wh?re 32.000
electrical horse power has been se
cured, .was finished. The dispatches
tell us all of this vast amount of
power has i been contracted for.
Other stations are being completed
and still others are being undertaken.
And as each one nears completion,
plans are made for the establishment
of new cotton mills, wood-working
plants, and hundreds of other indus
tries. And in the same propertion
that new mills, etc.. are planned.
new electrical railways are projected
and new towns and-Aities are supplied
with electricity.
The result of all this is difficult to
foretell. Certainly we are in the
dawn of new era, more splendid in
every respect than any in our history.
And the key to it all 13 the magic
word "electricity."
Above we have only spoken of the
power development of the Whitney
Company and the Southern Power
Company. There are others in our
State. Near Hickory, Fayetteville,
Asheville, Wadesboro and other
cities, large companies are at work
developing the power sites in their
possession.
As we have said, the future of the
Piedmont rests with our moneyed
men, and from present appe ranees,
they have that spirit which will make
this section the richest in the United
States.
From present indications more will
be accomplished in the next ten years
here than in any previous period of
fifty years.
India'. Big Cotton Crop.
Washington, April 2. The first
general Government memorandum
of the Indian cotton crop of the sea
son of 1906-7 has been issued. The
total area is computed as 22,344,000
acres, a net advance, of 1,272,000
acres. The total estimated out-turn
amounts to 4.908.000 bales of 400
pounds each, an increase of 1,482,000
bales, or 43.3 per cent. j

"I see," said Reuben, as he cam
into our antique repository of
thought, "that a Norfolk. Virginia,
justice did the thing up right. A
young man made an olTensive re
mark to a younar lady on the street
and the young lady promptly flapped
the cur and he struck her and ran.
He was captured and draiirsred into
court and was fined a hundred dollars
and sent to jail for thirty days.
"Now if that wasn t the stuff.
what is? The younjr man. aftrr be
ing arraigned, pleaded that he u
intoxicated and that was his excuse.
The judge wisely held that that was
more the reason why he should be
heavily fined, and herein is the meat
in the cocoanut which I have been
exhibiting. Drunkenness is always
offensive, and when the courU hold
that the man who commits an offense
while drunk should be more severely
dealt with than if sober it aids in
that education which I hold is neces
sary. It used to be that if a man
pleaded intoxication he was excused
for what he did but if Society and
the courts would hold a man and
make him answer not only for the
offense committed, but for intoxica
tion as well, making it a double
crime or offense, then people might
not be so eager to get drunk.
Of course my gallantry and mv
admiration for the fair sex prompts
in this little discussion to holler
hooray for the girl who had the
nerve to physically resent the insult
but the fact that the justice; and
his name is Simmons, (let's give him
credit) put it onto the young man as
it should have been put on him calls
for all my applause to-day.
When young bucks find out that
they musn't get drunk and that
they musn't offer offensive remarks
to young ladies on the streets, drunk
or sober, perhaps we will have pro
gressed quite a ways. It was a
glorious proposition handed down by
justice Simmons, of Norfolk, and I
hope that his views will be adopted
elsewhere'
Kooserelt Vs. Harriman.
Charlotte Observer.
Either President Roosevelt is a fa

has cropped out enough evidence to
line the public to vindicate Judge

'hat former Ambassador Scorer did
not deserve having the lie put upon
him; and it is hard to believe that
the present sensational Harriman
story, the last link needed to com
plete the evidence supporting Judge
farker, is an utter fiction. North
Carolinians will not forget Mr. Roose

promise to Mr. L. C. Wagner that
he should be appointed marshal of

quested of Harriman $250,000 for

strenuous language that "Any such
statement is a deliberate, wilful un

acterized by a shorter and more ugly

Some of the naDers. notably the

Certainly not. The church must

both the church and society should
remember that it is up to them to at
all times keep their ears to the

Woman's Trials.
The bitter trail In a woman's life Is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection Is a common disap
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even If they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment In the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness tne obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and frultfulness to many
a barren woman, to the great joy of the
household. In other but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N, Y.. over which
Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chil
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since It Is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to Its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more In fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The Ingredi
ents of which the " Favorite Prescription "
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Materia Medico of au
the several schools of practice. All the
Ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making nse of this
famous medicine mar know exactly what
she Is taking. Dr. Pierce takes 'his pa
tients into his full confidence, which be
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Favorite PrescriDtlon" is
I made will bear the most careful elim
ination.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
