P. h GIVING - RECEIVING That is the whole spirit of Christmas, and as it approaches the quostion of gifts is uppermost in our minds. The practice of presenting. a pass book with a "lirst de posit" entered there in, is becoming so general that we want to suggest it to you if you have not already thought of it. Think of the material good and lasting benefit of starting some one one on the road to wealth. How often do you hear "1 don't want anything in particu lar for Christmas; I wish they would give me the money instead of something 1 don't want." For these Christmas gifts we will open u neat little pass book, and, if you want it, we will mark the tly-leaf "Merry Christmas. From to How do you like this suggestion? Deposit & Savings Bank.

C, Tried the Mack Mailing Business and Landed In Jail. A prominent citizen of Winston by the name of Mr. Cicero Tise, recently received the following annonyruous letter: ' "Mr. Cicero Tise: Twice have I tried to take your life but have failed in my undertaking. I will not fail this time unless you give me the sum of $100. Tonight at 8 o'clock go to the spring on the west side of Mrs. Hanes' house and deposit the money under a tree near the spring. If you do not comply with my wishes you will spend this Christmas in hell, if I have to give my life for it after wards. I know you prefer life tu $100. Besides taking your life and cremating your body I will burn your house. If you speak a word of this to police, I will kill you on sight. You will be watched from the time you receive this letter until I get the money and have departed from the city. You have robbed me enough and It is time to right the wrong you have done me. Just one false step I and your damned body will be in hell. I promise upon my word and honor that if you get the money for me I will leave and you will never hear from me again. I know life is sweet er to you than it is to me." The authorship of the letter was charged to W. W. Watkins, a young white man who had been living at Winston for several months and was until recently employed by a veneer ing company. Ho had formerly room ed at Tise's home and was forced to leave on account of his eccentric habits. Watkins is peculiar and he may not be mentally balanced. He was put in jail in default of bond in in the sum of $u00. When the Stomach, Heart, or Kid ney nerves get weak, then these or gans always fail.

Hendricks at Smithtown. Stokes county, last Friday, and for whom a reward of $1,000 was offered, was captured today in Stokes county by two brothers named Nelson, and is now in jail at Danbury. A lop distance telephone message from that place this afternoon to the office of United States Marshal J. M. Millikan conveyed this information, ami Sisk will be brought here tomorrow on the noon train and turned over to Mar shall Millikan, who will commit him to jail in this city to await trial before Judge James K. Boyd in I'nited States Court. The next regular term of United States Court in Greensboro will not be held until next April, but a special term may be held earlier to f try Sisk. There is also a reward ofi $1,000 for Jim Smith, a notorious moonshiner of Smithtown, and a re- ward of $."iiH) for John Hill, also of I Smithtown, both of whom are thought i to be accomplices of Sisk. Oscar Sisk was carried to ( Ireens- boro last Saturday by Sheriff Petree, of Stokes county, and delivered to United States Marshall Millikan.

(one After Jim Smills. Ml. Airy I.cadiM'. Farmers from the eastern section of this county report that a number of revenue officers went into Smith town yesterday for the purpose of capturing Jim Smith, the blockader for whom the government has offered a reward of one thousand dollars. Several officers spent Monday night in this county, near the Stokes line, and gave out the information that a large force of men would surround Smithtown yesterday and if possible capture Smith. If Oscar Sisk is to be believed, Smith will give the officers a warm reception, for it is now almost as sured that he murdered Officer Hen drix and stands ready to die before being captured. He is regarded as a nervy and desperate man, and if it is true that officers are after him, some interesting developments, and perhaps some bloodshed, may be ex pected in Smithtown before another day passes. Keiiiiirkablc lie-cue. That truth is stranger than llction, has once more been demonstrated in the little town of Fedora, Tenn., the residence of C. V. Pepper. He writes: "I was in bed, entirely disabled with hemorrhages of tho lungs and throat. Doctors failed to help me, and all hope had fled when I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery.

A Home Made Happy by Chamberlain's Cough Itemed)-. About two months ago our baby girl had measles which settled on her lungs and at last resulted in a severe attack of bronchitis. We had two doctors but no relief was obtained. Everybody thought she would die.

W. Spence, Holly Springs, For sale by Brame Drag Co. Farmers Well Fixed. On the 2Sth of December Hon. Henry Clews, of New York City and of the banking house of Henry Clews !c Company, and an authority on fi nancial and economical matters- ac cording to many newspapers says among other things in his review the following: There is a reason to believe that the worst consequences -of the panic, have been limileTto financial circles, lint to gain some idea of the future in this respect it is necessary to in quire into the conditions of our chief industries. First comes the Ameri can farmer, who last year raised crops valwd at $7,100,000 000, much the highest figure on record. His con dition must be highly satisfactory: for after seven or eight years of uninter rupted prosperity he is now out of debt and so well situated financially as to be comparatively indifferent re garding any business recession in the United States. Should he fail to se cure good prices at home he is almost certain of obtaining them abroad. When it is fully appreciated that ae-! cording to the census about per cent, of our working population is engaged in agriculture, it will be readily recognized that the farmer is till the backbone of the country in spite of the fact that tho growth of agriculture is hardly keeping pace with population, and is still producing les3 than one-half the amount turned out by our manufacturers. Our growth in manufacturing is enormous, and in 1907 our products must have cosiderably exceeded .$10, 000,000,000 in value; but owing to the extensive u,-e of machinery only about 2")-por cent, of tho country's hand labor is thus employed. The manufacturing division of industry will, however, feel tho panic much more severely than agriculture, General retirement necessarily follow ing financial disaster will restrict de mandnot alone for luxuries-but for many staple products and lower prices must follow. It is plain also that the purchasing power of the public at the former level has been exhausted and costs of production must be reduced to a lower and more normal level in order to cheapen the cost of living. Labor may chouse to resist this tendency by holding up the rate of wages as long as possible; but naturally law will assert itself in the end, ami both commodites ami wages must accept their share in the in evitable readjustments as capital has already done. Industrial reacli-i:, therefore, has not yet run its course. It is worth while, however, looking stiil more closely into the industrial situation. The most important division of manufacturers is that of food pro ducts, of which we produce over 000,000 annually. This trade with few currency question and Mr. Roose velt might do well to place so complex b subject in the hands of a body of recognized experts; men of ability, reputation and experience. The world's production of gold goes on apace at the rate of about $100,CK 10,000 an nually. Our own stock of the pre cious metal has been augmented by the recent importation of over $100,- 000,000, largely drawn from the Bank of England. The net gold movement, however, for twelve months ending November resulted in an excess of imports aggregating only $50,000, 000, compared with $104,000,000 the same time last year. Next spring we may lose a considerable portion of recor.4 imports. It is very important and in fact it is absolutely necessary to health that we (five relief to the stonmci promptly at first signs of trouble weleliing oi gas, uinmen, Hour hioiii aclie, headache, Irritability and ner vousness.

Hu3tler and Progressive Farmer $1.2i Hi lief and DMielleC Belief is hard to some and easy to others, but when we consider that be lief or disbelief never affected any fact in this world though both have been the cause of much blodshed and cruelty it is easy to perceive the source of the Farmer's serenity. In the world about us, we measure the truth by our own experience, and at the most it is a dreadfully short, short measure. But it hurts, not the truth, but ourselves; it is really a measure of ourselves, and compels us to be narrower than our birthright gave any promise of. All this we shall discover at the proper time, and perhaps we shall make other discov eries calculated to persuade us that all that we really know is a myth, while the reality is waiting for us with hospitable arms.
