A Creditor Nation
h nr thP h irt I im a .
Comptroller Williams says Uncle
Sam had paid his floating debt since
i the European war started. He assert
ed: "Just two years ago, after the out
break of the European war, we were
considering how we could find means
to meet our floating debt, estimated at
$550,000,000 in gold, which was to ma- j
tui e in Europe between September 1
and December 31. 1&14, and what we I
should do to avert financial calamity
if the European nations should begin j
to unload upon us their American se- j
j eurities, of which they held an amount j
then estimated at $4,500,000,000. In
the two years which have intervened
we have paid this floating debt in full,
having bought back all of American
securities held abroad, an amount es
timated at between $2,000,000,000 and
$3,000,000,000, and have loaned to for
eign nations in both hemispheres
$1,500,000,000 of new money.
"If a balance should be struck to
day, taking into account the amount of
our securities still held In foreign
countries and the amount due our peo
ple on account of their foreign invest
ments, the probabilities are that we
would find ourselves for the first time
in our history a distinctly creditor na
tion. We hold a mortgage on the
world's physical assets. The world
holds a mortgage on our soul, on our
good will and broad nobility of pur
pose.
"In .1899 the gross earnings of all
national banks were less than $150,
000,000 and their net earnings slightly
under $50,000,000. For the calendar
year 1916 the indications are that the
gross earnings, based upon the actual
returns for the first six months, all
approximate $600,000,000 and net earn
ings over and above all exneuses and
losses $170,000,000. i

September closing today was one of

in the marriage license department of
Capt. V. H. Rankin's office, the offi
cial place - occupied by the finisher of
! Dan Cupid's romaritic escapades.
I Sixty-seven marriage licenses ' were
issued during this month against fifty
for the same month in 1915, showing
that there is a steady increase in mar
riages in Gullfor-J county. A particu
lar feature, however, was the state
ment that a larger number of licenses
were issued to people from other sec
tions during this month than for a
Ions period of time. Greensboro
preachers and magistrates tied most
of the knots it is stated, among -the
marriages being some that, occurred

justices of the ieace would be arous

some couple who had eluded watchful
fathers and mothers or who wanted to
surprise their friends.
Moonshiners Thicker
y : Than Ever Before
V Raleiah disnatch savs- J P Stell I
one of the best known raiders in the
eastern district, said todav that there
is considerable increase evidently in
the volume of blockade distillintr
throughout the state just now, but
that it is far more difficult than ever
before to locate and destroy them,
He says' the blockade rs are more
chary and successful in keeping their
stills out of the way of the raiders.
and that, more serious than this, is
the fact that the government has cut
out the payment ol lees to informers
and no information come3 to the ofll-
cers except from the one source of
the best citizens, who once in a while
learn of the location of a blockade
plant and will not stand for it In their
section, and report it to the officers.
Mr. Stell believes that the revenue
officers generally are even more act
ive than heretofore, but the attitude !
of the government makes their hand!
cap greater.

Speaking of the real values of the
fair to a community a business man
of the city said today:
"Fairs are a public enterprise, a
place where people may meet and ex
change views, study the improved
methods, meet eld friends and .make
new acquaintances. Its purpose is to
keep abreast with advanced agricul
ture and the trades, that our communi
ty will be able to take front rank and
cope with the revolutionizing influ
ences and changing customs that are
annually taking idaee. And for this
purpose a time and place is set apart
to bring together the products of the
field and shop, that stimulus might be
given those departments of labor, up
on which rests our national wealth."
The Central Carolina Fair, under
the guidance of Garland 'Daniel, its
secretary, lias been made more than
a county "fair, however it is almost a
state event: it has become a huge
fair that all people from many coun
ties around have become interested,
and for this reason there are excur
sions run into Greensboro from all
sections luring the days of the fair.
This year, on Friday, the school chil
dren from all sections in reach of this
city will be admitted free. There will
be an excursion of school children
from Ashcboro, and it is expected that
other towns will follow suit and bring
tae children here on Friday, school

j children will be welcomed on Friday

this occasion of fun and profit.
The fireworks this year are going to
be bigger and better than ever. Ar
rangements have been made to pull a
good one each night, offering fire
works that would ho a credit to larger
cities, and more pretentious events.
The racing, too. is to be better than
ever: more horses having been se
cured than ever.
Then the exhibits in all depart
ments, especially the cattle and poul
try shows will be very much enlarg

the smart farmer is today producing.
