1 ;Ty) V PAGE TWO CENT POSTAGE Mafe Newspapers Do Their Part w E NOTICE that Mr. Charles ; Ireland, of Greensboro, is taking a very active part in the fight for one cent post age. Pie furnishes, in "an" interview in the city papers, figures to show that the first-class postage is taking care of the second class, and argues that' there is no justice in this. And he is everlastingly right. In the old days it was thought to be quite the thing for publications, the, were few then, to be encouraged, because they aided in an educational way. But since newspaper and mag azine making has become a business; and often a profitable one, there is no reason in the world why publica tions boasting their millions should while the proprietors became multi millionaires. There-should be zones for second class matter. The same principle as applies to parcels post. If we want to send a paper tc San Francisco we should pay more than if we wanted to send it to Charlotte provided we were getting an inside rate. The county paper should pay less than the magazine or the state or national paper. In other words, each piece of mail sent should pay for itself- and if this were done letter postage could be one cent and as great a sur plus would pile up unless dissipated in rural routes or improvements now impossible. There is no reason why a newspa per should any longer receive a sub sidy. . The law should be that any man could publish a newspaper one time or forty times and pay so much a pound and that so much should cover the cost c transportation. If this were done, then papers could "publish what they pleased, as often as they pleased, so long of course as they obeyed the law as to what was decent. But now because the gov ernment exercises some censorship they get through- great train loads of magazines and the general public pays the freight. ' We wish the association represent ed by Mr. Ireland, instead of fighting for one cent postage on first class onail would make the fight to make newspaper- and periodicals pay what it costs to transport them. Have zones. Take care of the county pa per at certain rates; the state papers at certain rates, and the national pa pers at certain rates. . There is no reason in this day of newspaper commercialism why they should get something cheaper than other people. And if they paid their part the department would issue the one cent order in a hurry, because it would be justified in doing it. And the chances are there would be more publications than we have now.Jhe present system isonifwfftiq.uafe? JnK "THE HOG. ,TTrr "Exchange -' Presents OX HIS JOB. Mr. William B.

Frai.K James. HITS 'EM HARD. Mr. J. E. Latham Talks From The Shoulder. Mr. J. E. Latham, successful cot ton merchant and progressive in ah things that help to build up his town and state, never misses an opportun ity to express his opinion of the am bitious politician and agitator who uses commercial enterprises to pull down. " He . was responding to a toast at the traveling man's banquet the oth er evening and left his subject far afield and went gunning for the agi tator. And he poured forth some wonderful truths. Hot shot it was, but hot shot is proper, from our view point. :'''':"':.' We have ueen insisting for man years that North Carolina is not the place for the agitator. We have been insisting. that here in the South land we can build one of the biggest states, commercially, in the union, and we have stood alone, almost in our agitation against . agitators. But here of late we have 'been sustained and cheered by many grave men ' of affairs entering the arena and throw ing down the. gauntlet. Seven or eight years ago when without money and no hope of re ward save to build the state we were fighting those who were attempting to destroy the Southern railway, it was talked that any man who said anything favorable to a railway com pany was subsidized; that he was on the pay roll. But an investigation f ollowjindjwns ooMkJhattr,j oil was paid to puff the Southern. And it. has "been charged . that if a kind ifrord wsks spoken for ; any cor poration the man speaking i (had rte- ceivefl rofr'' .;;,, v',-' ''-y I note that. Frank James, the eld er brother of Jesse, the brains of the James Brothers, Train Robbers, Mur derers, Highwaymen, has just died, aged 74 years. For the last thirty years he has been a retired' gentle man. He clerked in a clothing store in Texas, sold goods for a dry goods establishment . in Kansas City, and then hiked himself to a farm, and passed his declining years. Perhaps I have before told of having met Mr. James several times when he was oc cupying a place in quiet commerce and finding him to be a very mtei esting unobtrusive man, who always claimed that he took up Jhe torch only because the Pinkertons threw dynamite into his mother's home, Mrs. Samuels, (she was twice mar ried) tearing her arm from its roots. This, the James boys insisted, was cause for them to raise their hanu against the world. Of course it wasn't- but they believed it, and justified their conscience. Thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just, we are assured, and because these men guilty of so many un speakable deeds believed they had justification, made them almost in vincible. . Bob Ford betrayed Jesse. Frank always claimed that they wanted to quit the game, but it was death to quit so -why not keep it up and meet death in their own way? And here was a proposition worth while for the philosopher. These men had lived such a life that they were out lawed But they kept on in their terrible career. When they wanted to- quit there was no reason. It was death to surrender and it could be no more than death to continue. So they continued. After Jesse was killed Frank made terms was sen tenced but did not surrender until it was understood that he was to be pardoned. And had Jesse been given a chance like that he would have come into camp years before he did from 1875 to 1882 the lives of many innocent people would have been saved. Frank gave his word of honor that he would live a decent life and his word of honor was as good as any other man's word of honor, ever given, for; he had kept it all these years. - I never saw Jesse -but once. If I have told the story it is worth tell ing again' at this time, because Frank's, death perhaps ends the his tory of the James Boys. .Iwas iun- jnaanewn ji little town in Ne braska and boomlTTg'igHe3aam now and -we thought we needed iw other bank.

During his stay in Oxford he pt, fessed religion and on account, of his prominence suddenly In church work relieved the people there of about $200 in coin. Rev. S. K. Phillips felt he had been outraged and ac cordingly secured a warrant for the fellow, caught him, after he had left town beating a board bill and leav ing others in the lurch, and succeed ed in landing him behind prison bars. Well, we would have been sorry for the fellow if he hadn't professed re ligion in order to carry out his game. The minister did right in apprehend ing him and sending him to jail. - . o .

When money was tighter than the bark on a hickory tree our Greens boro banks; accommodated their cus tomer at. fiix per cent and they had to pay six per cent to get the money. In all "reason 'there should be a law that jvould allow a bank to charge something for its service. If money is plentiful six, per cent is enough but in times like we have been pass ing through, when the bank itself had no money to lend and had to pay six per cent-for what it secured, it does look like it should be allowed two per cent, to get the loan. The man who wants to skin the public as a money lender does it every day and he charges all kinds of illegal interest. But banks do not rob the public. Now and then one may take advantage, but it is the exception. Without banks we could do nothing So let them be prosperous. O . In Full Blast. The Panama Exposition is now on in full blast.

V: , -o , ' Aged Jjady Passes. Mrs. Alfred Troy, aged 86 years, died last week at her home near Liberty. During a residence 'of fifty years in that community she had won the respect and esteem if all her neighbors and will be much missed. She was the mother of a large fam ily, surviving members of which are: Mr. Robert Troy and Miss iee i roy who lived with their mother at the old home,- Mrs. Miller, or iicKory; Mrs. D. C. Cox, of Burlington; Mrs. C P. Smith, Jr., of Liberty, and four sons livine in the West. The late C. t Trnv. of Concord, was anotner son, and ur.

Reports of ' the gradual improve ment of Miss Rebecca Phoenix, who has been under treatment in Balti more and is now in St. Leo's hos pital, Greensboro, is gratifying to her many friends. .

The Indians on the reservations in the northwest have asked Congress lor $15,000 to help suppress the . its ... fre Cait J;35ph - rt..o shot there-was great excite ment - and I - went and looked upon the remains. And the remains; with out the disguise was the man who wanted to start a bank in my town. .The . moriT4 g the news . spread of Jesse's deat jSaint Joe was a lively place. All I lads led to saint joe and all trainV were fiilec. ' ousands of people came, to see the dead ban dit came to make sure that the man who had terrorized that section of the west so ; long was dead. Strange, however, that in the rejoic ing over the death of such a man there was regret expressed for him, and Bob Ford who was his partner and" his friend and who betrayed him for the $50,000 reward, would have been lynched with but little trouble. The feeling against Ford ran high and of course it should. Ford and his brother went to New Mexico and opened a saloon and finally went to the devil, as he should have done. But Jesse James, despite his career of villiany, of murder, of anything to accomplish his purpose, had around Independence, Missouri, more friends than one would think. Around the old haunts , the James Boys were always secure. Neighbors and friends those who believed that terrible treatment given Mrs. Samuels called for reprisal, werethe sworn friends of the outlaws, and whenever close pressed all they had to do was to gf t "back home" and they were secure. ... Of course hundreds of yellow back lies have been written . about the James Boys: thousands of stories, pure fiction saddled off on them something like Colonel Cody's exper iences with buffalo which never hap penedbut the truth would have been enough. They had raised their hand against Society they had sworn, eternal vengeance against ' all law and if they prayed for help they must have been forced to be lieve in the efficacy of prayer for no men ever before or ever since bore the charmed life as didHhey. When the Younger Brothers joined them another notable quartette of high waymen, they didn't succeed: But when Cole Younger with his brothers in the famous Stillwater, Minnesota, raid, was captu-ed, the James boys made their get-a -way against all the odds and all the rules of strategy. Every time they escaped there was no trapping them it seemed and only the power of gold the $50,000 reward and immunity caused' Bob Ford to betray : his chief the man J,y have a full line of the very J best quality of all ; kinds of Household Goods, and at the right price.
