Familiar Old Name Dropped from Map and Schedules of Seaboard Air Line Railway and Thelrna Takes its Place. Since opening business there has not been a month that has not shown a substantial growth in our trade, speaks for itself of the Character and Quality of Our Goods and the Reasonableness of our Prices. This - Weldon Roanoke News. There is no lon.srer ou the maps of the Seaboard Air Line Sailway such a place as Gaston. The live, bustling little town of Thelma has taken its Slaee, and passengers on the old .aleigh & Gaston road will no longer hear the old familiar etation called out by conductors and porters. Lo"ST years airo, when strap iron was nailed to wooden rails, Gaston was the terminus of the Kaleigu and Gaston railroad, and there was a litttle branch of the reteraburg and Weldon road which branched off at Ilicksford, now Emporia, and con nected with the Raleigh nud Gaston, at Gaston. During the war the rail road bridge at Gaston was burned down by Confederate sohliers, to pre vent the enemy from following, and soon after the war, the bridge being gone, and the Raleigh & Gaston hav ing been extended to Weldon, the track on the Ilicksford and Gaston branch was taken up and the right of way abandoned. Several j'ears ago the Seaboard Air Line straightened its track at Gaston, to avoid the heavy grade on tue long curve, leaving the old town of Gaston on the river to deso lation, and established a new Gaston on the brow of the hill. At this time Messrs, Ilamill Bros., two enter prising young men, who had a eoun try store and a country postollice, which one of their sisters -named Thelma, conducted, moved to new Gaston. They built a good store house and later a handsome dwelling and had their postoffiee moved to that place. Now the railroad peo ple have adopted the name, droppei Gaston from their maps and time tables and passengers over the road will soon become familiar with the name of Thelma. fey CjJ R esKM r ACHE J 15e GREATEST REMEDY On Earth.

The Republicans criticize the Dem ocratic party because it created the new office of insurance Commissioner. The Democrats did create the office and pay the Commissioner 2,000 salary and pay 1,000 for clerical assistance. Refore that time the State let the Secretary of the State attend to insurance matters and gave him a 1,000 clerk. The result of the creation of the new office has been a good thing for the tax-payers. In 1898, the last year of the term of Cvrus Thompson, Secretary of State, who had charge of the insurance bus iness, the receipts were .$84,879.28. The amounts collected since, under Democratic control, by the Insurance j Department and paid into the State Treasury were: For year 1899 : f 92,8(io.21 For vear 1900 91,077.92 For year 1901 132,034.03 For year 1902 153.CG7.12 For year 1903 174,633.00 j Total in five years $014,272.88 j The Commissioner is paid a salary of 2,000 per annum and allowed 1.G00 for clerical help, which can onlv be used for this purpose, making the cost ol the Department o,ouu per annum. During the five years of the Department the Commissioner has collected and paid to the State Treasurer of the class of fees forroerly allowed the Secretary of State for bis services in this behalf, as follows: For year 1899 9,184.00 For year 1900 5,731.50 For year 1901 For yearly "'AYX For year iyuf i-w Total in five years $ 50,050.50 Thus it will be seen that taking off the salary allowed the Commissioner for the five years there is left a bal ance of $40,006.50 saved to the State out of the class of fees formerly allowed the Secretary of State as his salary for looking alter insurance companies. The amount now col lected and paid into the State Treas ury of this class ot tees amounts an nually to about double tlie whole cost of the Department. Is under the same skillful management.

Total I 349,000,000 A little simple subtraction shows an increase of $187,000,000 in three items alone in seven years, leaving out pensions, the Panama purchase and all otherextraordiuary expenses. Are these expenditures "imagi nary?" .Mr. Roosevelt says: "Our oppon ents contend that the government is now administered extravagantly, and that whereas there was 'a sur plus of 80,000,000 in 1900, there was u deficit ot more than ?4'J,uuu, 000 in the year that has just closed.' This deficit is imaginary and is ob tained by including in the ordinar' expenses the Hum of fifty millions which was paid for the right of way of the Panama canal out of the ac cumulated surplus in the treasury." I a deficit "imaginary" if it really exists? Hut deficits continue. The expenditures for Julv and August, 190i exceed receipts by about $21,- 000,000. t Is this deficit "imaginary," too?
