WILMINGTON, N. C- TUESDAY,. . . .FEBRUARY 13, 1906. OUR CITY'S BANKS. That Was a jn-atifying showing, in deed, which the three national snJ four savings banks of this city made of their financial condition at the close of business on January 29th last. They had on deposit $6,243,329 and their to tal resources amounted to $8,263J76, both an increase in these two items of the last statement, made a little over two months previous. We consider this ' a remarkable showing for our banks and for the business of our city. For the bank3 of a city the size of ours to show deposits of only a few thousand short of six pnd a quarter million dol lars and total resources of over eight and a quarter million indicates that it Is well supplied with funds where with to conduct a tremendous business. It further indicates the confidence the the people have in these banks. One of the savings banks had on the day the report was made deposits to the amount of over a million and a half dollars and so did one of the national banks. The banks of no other city in the state can show like figures. This gratifying condition has been j brought ; about . by the wonderful growth in. the business of Wilmington in all departments of trade, industry and commerce in the last few years, and the still more gratifying condi tion is that the banks are daily in creasing their deposits and their total resources and the trade of the city i3 still on the forward move. Our manufacturing, commerce and wholesale and jobbing trade has not by any means reached its climax; in fact, it is just entering on the road to that degree of magnitude to which it Is des tined in the near future it Is Just be ginning as the result of the awaken ing of our people to the possibilities said, though, that she will have a dis placement of 18,500 tons, but that this will be the least remarkable of her new features. She will carry ten 12 inch guns, of a new type, with a muz zle energy of 49,568 as'against 33,622 in guns of the latest types of battle ships. It is further said that in bat tle the Dreadnaught would be able to discharge every minute ten sheils weighing 850 pounds each with suffi cient force to. send them twenty -five miles. She will carry no other guns except eighteen 3-inch rapid firers. This is about all that is known about her. The secrets as to her mechanism are still closely guarded. A monster of the sea she will be In deed, and if all is true that is claimed for her she will be Invincible as a coast defense vessel or one to destroy sea ports and coast defenses. - It will not be known, though, until she has been given thorough trial whether she will be as effective an instrument of de struction as her size and armament would indicate. NEW OATH IN COURT. Our superior court judges are mov ing up in the enforcement of temper ance laws, seeking to promote temper ance without unnecessary severe pen alties. The Catawba County News says that a remarkable scene was witnessed when Judge Cooke administered the following oath to three younsr men who had been violating the law: j "You solemnly swear upon the Holy Evangelist of Almighty God that each one of you will not touch, within one year, one drop of any spirituous li quors, malt or wine." If they will keep that solemn oath the young men will be saved and their famililes not feel humiliated by seeing tnem sentenced to work on the roads. News and Observer. . I TO HELP THE COTTON GROWERS A Jsyncucate of Eastern Capitalists round to Take 500,000 Bales at 13 Cents a Pound. I NEED OF A STATE TORY. REFORMA- The Presbyterian Standard in, re ferring to the necessity in this stafe of a reformatory for youthful crimi nals, says "that an ounce of prevenr tion ds worth, more than a pound of cure is a principle of criminology that North Carolina does not seem to be able to get into its head." It speaks of "-the slowness with which the re form school idea finds a place In our system of economics." It does not seem to us that the idea is making any progress at all. It may be, though, that if the Presbyterian Standard and other papers of similar Influence in the state will continue to hammer on the heads of the political economists and politicians of the state they can after awhile succeed in getting into them a sensible idea on this subject. Thjis is the only way to bring about the greatly, needed re form. Keep at it. We hope these papers will not let up until such a system is inaugurated. We believe most every t,ne admits that It would be a good thing to have a reform school, but the cost of it la what sticks in the crop. Legislators hesitate at appropriating funds for such iin institution while, in the mean time, tne state ana itne counties are spending thousands of dollars annual ly in the prosecution and the keep of youthful law breakers with little pros pect of the latter not becoming again a. burden on the tax payers as soon as their terms of imprisonment in county jail, on chain gang or in penitentiary We presume these three young men were indicted for some offense com mitted while under the influence of liquor and on conviction or submis sion had judgment suspended on tak ing tbe above oath. We hope Judge Cooke's plan will succeed. If they were young men of principle and heartily ashamed of their conduct and determined to lead better lives, the judge's course was eminently proper. It was far preferable to sending them to the chain gang and thereby, per haps, making confirmed criminals of them. He was right in giving them a chance to reform. But we think jit would have been better had the judge, after a serious lecture, discharged them under promise or bond to appear before the court at some' future date and show that they had kept sober and been good law-abiding men. Having taken this solemn oath, a single viola!- tion of it without any evil conse- quences might be the cause of mak- ing the young man worse than be fore. Hej would certainly feel greater humiliation and maybe despair at his ability to reform. Besides, we do not believe in the multiplying of oaths! It destroys much of their force and solemnity. The tendency is to makel men regard them lightly, even those taken in judicial proceedings. ! A congressional investigation of a! powerful corporation like the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company is a very difJ ferent thing from laying bare all the conditions and transactions of the! company. The latter is never dona. Of course President Cassatt has no fears of the former, should it be ordered. Atlanta. Ga., February 12. Presi dent Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, made the follow ing announcement today; "I have secured an agreement with a syndicate of eastern capitalists, headed bz. E. R. Thomas, to take 500, 000 bales of middling cotton from southern planters at the minimum price of thirteen cents a poundJ deliv erable at interior points or the ports, Dy or oetore July, 1903, the deal to be closed as soon as option on the: syndi cate's requirement shall have been se cured. "The agreement further provides for the taking of all cotton ready for mar ket next August and September from the crop of 1906 at the then market prices, to be not less than the) mini mum price nxea Dy tne soutnern cot top. Association. This agreement Is not intended to affect holder, who are demanding a maximum of 15 cents at present. New York bankers are prepared to finance fully all southern bankers in assisting holders of -cotton for higher prices. Option contracts will be forwarded upon application to all cotton growers. xrv t.---- TL TT 2C r - TI Should Wear Neat Overclothes - AN HONEST WORKMAN Should Wear Union Made Overclothes A BRIGHT WORKMAN Should Wear the Best Overclothes.

Washington, February 12. Repre sentative Sparkman (Fla.) introduced a concurrent resolution today author izing the President to issue proclama tions asking states to participate in an exposition to be held at Tampa, Fla., in 1908. The resolution also pro vides for naval participation In the ex position and for the issuance of kn In vitation to foreign: powers to send ex hibits. The exposition is to especial ly emphasize the importance to the world of the isthmian canal and to hasten its completion. and invite 'yon to call and look them over before purchasing.

T) WT Pim Til TI 1Q YlA f f-i are over, to say nothing of the horde j member of the progressive firm of SECURIW. I ahead of our city. The chief causes of this new order of things are unity of action of our business men and the abandoning of old fogy ways of con ducting business. The thing to do to keep up this for ward movement and to give it greater impetus is for all our people to ''pull together." Let every man's first desire be to see the city go forward; to wel come any new industries and the en-' larging and branching out for new business of those we now have; for what helps the business of the city adds to the. general prosperity and is of advantage to each citizen, whether capitalist or wage-earner. The splendid showing of our banks shows that : such spirit prevails to a large extent, but it can be increased. More interest generally could be taken in the plans and schemes for extending and diversifying thq business of the city by those who have the means and the inclination to do so. Let it be remembered that every new enterprise benefits the whole cit izenship, and not alone those wha have means to subscribe to its capital stock and the ability to successfully manage the new plant. of .-youths who are being educated by the present process of punishment into hardened JJminals, instead of being I given a chance to reform and become good citizens, as they 'would have in a reformatory school. Putting aside the moral question, is it not cheaper to the state to spend two dollars in reforming a wayward youth Inclined to crime than to spend one in making a debased man and confirmed criminal of him? A WAR MONSTER OF THE SEA. Tlie generally slow-going Britishers performed a wonderful feat in the launching of the. hue" battleship Dreadnaught just a few days over foar mont s from the day work was begun on her. That beats anything the en terprising Yankees have ever done. The Dreadnaught will be in commis sion within twelve months from the time her keel was "laid. She is a new type of 'battleship, the hugest floating war machine ever constructed, and the British admiralty is anxious to get her into commission as soon as possible In order that her qualities and effec tiveness may be thoroughly tested be fore work is commenced on other ves sels of the same type. She is an outgrowth of the naval warfare between Russia and Japan. Great Britain had naval experts on all the Japanese warships, who studied the maneuvers, the action, the effau eive and defensive powers of the war ships engaged. Their reports were turned In after the battle in the sea of Japan. Based upon these reports were drawn the plans for the Dread naught. : The greatest secrecy is ci served as to her plans of construction. It Is It Is stated on what seems to be good authority that a large amount of the money sent by friends in this coun try to Jews in Russia has not been re ceived. Orders have been sent out from St. Petersburg that the postoffice mon ey orders should not be cashed, the ex cuse being that the remittances ore made for the purpose- of assisting in the revolutionary movement. Local post officials in this country have con firmed the report in many instances. The letters leturning the money orders contain many reasons given why they cannot be cashed, the one above desig nated being the chief. Thus while the Russian government is grinding down and Impoverishing this class of citi zens it refuses them the privilege of securing assistance from friends abroad. Messrs. Crumn & Fiord, and is one of our most worthy young men, one who holds the confidence and esteem of all who know him. In short, he is a young man of sterling worth.

Money sent out of the country for articles that can be purchased of our home merchant, never comes back any more. It doesnt help build up the community, or pay taxes, or build roads, sidewalks or school houses, or churches, or other, public improve ments. It is a rank injustice to our business men who advertise, and spend their money here and thev few centst saved by sending outside if any money is saved is just that much contributed toward a fund to blast your own community and depreciate your own property. It is a suicidal xilicy for what you can purchase at home. Oxford Ledsrer. CZ7 50 Foc-Slmlfo Wrapper Below. Tor small and easy to teke as mca CARTERS ITTLE IVER PILLS. FOR HEAOACKE. FOR DIZZINESS.

Wonder if those congressmen who are making such desperate efforts to Induce congress to pass an anti-railroad pass law would not feel pretty flat were they to succeed?
