THE ONE SURE WAY
to have money is to save-it. The one sure way to save it is
by depositing it in a responsible bank. You will then be ex
empt from the annoyance of having it burn holes in your
pockets, and aside from the fact that your money will be safe
from theft, the habit of saving tends to the establishment of
thrift, economy, discipline and a general understanding of
business principals essential to your success.
To those wishing to establish relations with a safe, strong
bank, we heartily extend our services.

COUNTY GROGGERltS
Charlotte Chronicle.
It has been recorded in this paper
that at several places throughout Ca
barrus county, rude shacks are being
put up from which near-beer will be
dispensed. That means that out in
the country away from police protec
tion, with no restrictions and under
no license joints for the sale of
crooked drinks, vile drinks, poison
ous concoctions, are to be opened
or no one will contend that the
owners of these isolated shops conld
expect to make expenses merely from
the sale of the stuff known as near-
beer. Just what defense the autho
rities of Cabarrus county will make
for permitting the opening of these
shops is hard to imagine. We do not
know that tbey will permit this
traffic. Our remarks are based on
the newspaper statement that such
shops are being opened. It is a
practical return to conditions that
prevailed up to the year 1880, when
country groggeries were legalized.
These were typical hell-holes, and .in
the light of present day civilization
is amazing to think that their
existence was ever countenanced
but as a matter of fact, it was. At
different points in Cabarrus and
Stanly counties, these groggeries
ived and nourished. They had ex
isted in Mecklenburg, but in this
county they were rooted up several
years before they were abolished in
the two counties named. Ihe loca
tion was generally at a cross roads,
or on a well-traveled highway, but
remote from other habitations and
here the vicious element of the com
munity would congregate, carouse,
gamble, hght and in some cases
murder, and all in no fear whatever
of the law. But an aroused public
sentiment finally rid the country of
these institutions, and now the
opening wedge is being driven. The
springing up of near-beer shops in
the country can have no other mean
ing. That the authorities of any
county in the State should permit
such a traffic to get a Btart passes

Glowing Report of the West
Walter Scott, vice-president of one
of the largest general merchandise
concerns in the country, has returned
to New York City with glowing re
ports of the prosperity of the West,
through which he makes a yearly
tour of inspection.
Never m my life before did I see
such optimism as now prevails every
where among farmers, banners, rail
road men and all others. J. he crops
are booming, corn and whpat notably
They are the staple products, of
course, and 1 believe both of them
will make the largest crops in his
tory. Greater than ever is the de
mand for men to harvest them
They can't get enough. All the far
mers have money.
But as to prosperity, I can speak
of it beyond the Northwest, though
not so personally. I believe there's
an avalanche of it coming, east, west
north and south. It can't be stopped
We sent out one hundred men
all over the South to look over the
field and report on general business
and industrial conditions. Those re
ports have just come in. 1 never
have met any thing 1 ike them. From
every hand they report prosperity
Charlotte Chronicle.
Plana were laid late Saturday after
noon by special committees from the
Greater Charlotte Club, the Ketail
Merchants' Association and the Far-
. r a a. a;
mcrs union to noia in uiariotie, as
the Auditorium, the first Mecklen-
bursr Agricultural Conference. The
date is Wednesday, September 1.
The formation of this association u
the result of a movement which was
begun several months ago by a num
ber of public spirited citizens witn a
view to lending expert assistance to
the Mecklenburg farmer in further
ing improvements in his varioua
pursuits. Realizing that this county
offers perhaps as many opportunities
for development as any county in
the South, these gentlemen began in
earnest the movement which has
culminated in the first conference.
t is proposed to make this gather
ing an annual affair and to enlarge
its scope of usefulness from time to
time.
Subjects of direct interest to the
farmers will be discussed. Experts
representing the United States
government and the various agricul
tural colleges in the country will be
here to deliver addresses and make
demonstrations. The subjects for
this year are: "Renovation and Re
storation of Soils, Including Growing
of Legumes and Stock Raising,"
'The Rural Telephones" and '"The
Culture of Small Grains."

Judge Boyd on Receivership Calamities.
Kewi and Observer.
The judges, if permitted to, could
soon regulate this question of scand
alous wrecking of industries. ' This
paper, when it stated the other day
that the bankrupt law and the law,
rplntincr tn rpfivprshina Rhrmld he
amended or abolished in toto for thej
protection of estates, and for the
judges themselves, was not only so
impressed by what a good many
judges have said privately, but by
the excellent advice and hne senti
ment born of sad experience, no
doubt, of Judge Boyd, delivered
from the bench two weeks ago, while
considering the application for the
appointment of a receiver for an
embarrassed corporation.
Among other things, Judge Boyd
said :
"I do not want to embarrass the
corporation and its business by the
appointment of a receiver even tem
porarily. The court is anxious to
give the comDany and its creditors
every chance possible of themselves
administering on these assets and
getting together and settling this
matter between themselves. It is
very apparent, unless something like
this is done, the court will nave to
act. From the showing made, this
company owes $44,000, and yet has
assets, which if liquidated in the
regular course of private business,
well managed, would yield 564,000,
and yet you get this corporation in
the bankrupt court, with the con
sequent demoralization on the value
and prices of its property and pro
duct, with the expenses of receivers,
trustees, attorneys, etc., and you
will wreck it, with the chances that
even the creditors will get nothing.
Besides, these things have a tenden
cy to damage every industrial enter
prise in the country. Take these
matters under consideration, gentle
men, until tomorrow morning, when
the court will further consider it.
That was hne, and so iar has es
caped criticism from Receiver Dun
can's paper, and has not evoked
"stinging rebuke" from Orator Pou
EXTRAORDINARY HAIR TONIC.

in
It Won't Grow Hair on Bald Heads.
Unlike all other hair restorers, Parisian
Sage won't grow hair on Laid heads.
Neither will it grow hair on china eggs
door knobs or hitching posts.
One claim is about as sensible as the
other.
If your head is bald and you want
cover it with hair, get a wig.
Parisian Sage, the quick -acting hair re
juvenator, is of no use to bald headed peo
pie ; but for people who have thin hair,
fall in tr hair and dandruff, and where the
bald spot is just beginning to show, there
is nothing in this wide world that will give
such satisfactory results as Parisian Sage
Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Gibson
Drug Store to drive out dandruff and stop
falling hair in two weeks or money back
It stops itching scalp in two days, and
keeps the scalp cool and free from odors
in warm weather.
There is nothing on earth that will
qnic-kly turn dull, faded hair into lustrous
amljuxuriant hair as Parisian Sage.
Try a bottle of Parisian Sage at Gibson
Drug Store's risk. Use it for a week, and
you will have no use for the ordinary
tonics. Parisian Sage is delightfully per
fumed, free from grease and stickiness,
and a larere bottle costs but 50 cents. The
girl with the Auburn hair is on every bot
tie.
The instance of Charlton County
farmers having reclaimed, at a cost
of $180,000, wet lands now valued at
2i millions, and by the simple means
of straightening the channel and in
creasing the fall of a small, winding
river and those of its principal tnbu
taries, is only a concrete instance 0:
a great work that has been earned
on in Missouri. In Southwest Mis
souri, where there is a vast area of
swamp lands, superlatively rich in
soil, more than a million acres have
been made available for cultivation
bv means of comprehensive drainage
and a vast amountt of additional land
will be treated in the same way.

Orlao tt Mardaa la qw.
There are plenty of people, in all
our large cities, who do not allow
themselves enough to eat, and prac
tice all sorts of pinching economy at
home, for the sake of keeping ip
appearances in society. "
What terrible inconvenience, hard
ship and suffering we endure on ac
count of other people's eyes and
opinions! What slaves, what fools
we make of ourselves because of
what other people think! How we
and contrive to make them think we
are other than we teally are.
It is other people s eyes that are
expensive. It Is other people's eyes
that make as unhappy and discon
tented with our lot. that make us
strain, and struggle, and slave, in
order to keep up false appearances.
The suit, the hat must be discard
ed, not because they are badly worn.
but because others will 'think it
strange that we do not change them.
The effect of all this fa.ee living.
this constant practice of deception in
appearances, in our manner of living
our dress, is undermining the Ameri
can character, ruining our genuine
ness, making us superficial, unreal,
false.
No man can really respect himself .
when he is conscious that he is sailing
under false colors.
If you are wearing clothes and
iving in luxury which you can not
afford, these things label you ail over
with falsehood, and are perpetual
witnesses against you. There is only
one possible result upon the character
of a falsehood, whether acted or
poken, and that is perpetual deter
ioration. It does not matter whether
you wear lies, tell lies, or act lies.
the effect upon your character is the
same.
Trying to make people think that
you are better off than you really are
is a boomerang which -strikes back
with a fatal rebound. It is impos
sible for you very long to. pretend,
successfully, one thing and be an
other, for your reality is always
asserting itself.
Do not deceive yourself into think
ing that good clothes, that a palatial
home, can make a man or a woman.
All the wealth in the world could not
raise manhood one degree in the
scale of excellence, .t is spending
upward, living upward, Hvmg in
honesty, in simplicity; living the real
life that is worth while, thaf will
produce the finest character and
give the greatest satisfaction.
Not long ago 1 was visited by a
dear friend who has the courage to
live the simple life, even in the midst
of the pyrotechmcal social life in
New York. The man, who has not
laid up a thousand dollars, has 1
magnificent character, strong, vigor
ous, yet sweet, gentle and kind. He
envies no one; bows to no one; he
has a superb independence; he walks
like a conqueror. He has no anxiety
about the future. He lives a full,
complete life as he goes along. The
moment one enters his atmosphere
he is conscious that he is in the pres
ence of a rich personality.
It does not require so much cour
ace to live the life we can afford; to
be genuine, true, indifferent to what
our neighbors think or say. Even
those- who are wealthy will think
more of us for this manly, this wo
manly independence.
Every one owes it to himself to
live a real life, Whether he is rich or
poor; to be, and not to seem. He
owes it to himself at least to be
genuine.
"Paint me as I am. warts and al

Does The College Graduate "fit?'
The question has often been raised
throughout the United States, "Does
the college graduate fit into life?
However, attention is here called to
the fact that the question is never
raised concerning the graduates of a
technical college such as the Georgia
School of Technology.
On the contrary, it is a question of
how to fill the demand, for it is a
fact that the demand is greater than
the supply of technically trained
young men, and it is to train our
Southern boys for exactly this op
portunity that the Georgia School of
Technology is striving.
The new era of prosperity and de
velopment in the outn which 13 so
widely and enthusiastically predicted
by the leading men 01 the country
is purely technical and textile, and
the richest rewards await the young
men most capably trained to "fit
into the demand. The Georgia
School of Technology is better pre
pared and equipped than ever before
in its history, offering advanced
courses in Mechanical, Textile, Elec
trical and Civil Engineering, Engi
neering Chemistry, Chemistry and
Architecture. The cost is very rea
8onable. placing within reach of any
ambitious young man knowledge
which enables him to take full ad
vantage of a period of unprecedent
ed opportunities. Write at once for

In the framing of the new tariff
bill, the New hn gland and Middle
States Congressmen gave to their rich
constituents the right to tax al! the
people more than in the past. Aid

Call and Hale and the others from
that section looked out only for the
trusts. They did not hesitate to
soerince the West and the South or
their own average constituents to

that steel needed no protection, but
that trust got a big bonus as usual.
The cotton fanners of the South
were sacrificed to the bagging trust.
he . trusts, through their special
representative, "hogged" it all. '
Governor John A. Johnson, of Min
nesota, speaks out plainly about this
sectional injustice. In his address
at Seattle on Minnesota Day. that
popular executive declared that "it
is time that the West throw off the
shackles of the East I would pi each
no sectional divisions and no section-
strifes, but Minnesota and Wash
ington and the States between them.
with those to the South of us, should
ri9e in their might and claim lor
themselves that fair share of influ
ence in the halls of Congress and in
the administration of national affairs
to whic'i they are entitled by every
aw of common sense, as well of
political economy."
Governor Johnson Is no narrow
sentimentalist but is truly national
and is demanding (only that there be
no special favor to the section that
has so long enjoyed bonuses as to be-
leve them to be vested rights, we,
he said, "as an integral part of the
American people, Bhould cast our in
fluence and our votes not only to ad
vance the material interests of our
own particular section, but we should
be broad enough and big enough to
abor for the common good of our
common country ' Governor John
son believes the call is for the West
to lead in emancipation from every
form of old world and new world
caste and privileges, from the try an
ny of the dollar, the domination of
the trust and the dictation of the po
litical machine.
