The Way We Look At It "Am I my brother's keeperris too often being asked in these latter days. People seem to be too busy to look out for any business or anybody but themselves. But it is the looking out for other people's business inter ests that has made us the good strong bank we are today, and it is the ' spirit and inclination we show to have aiy of our friends o patrons look care fully into our methods, that has gain- ": ed the confidence and esteem of this community. "Am I my brother's keeper?" We feel that we are. We fully appre ciate the weight of responsibility which we carry, but it is carried with i the sense of a trust, honestly and carefully performed. The loyalty and confidence shown in our bank, as in- dicated by the greatly increased vol- ; ume of business passing through our ' institution, is very pleasing to us. ; We want to make the year 1908 the best our bank has ever had, and in so ? doing we know that the community at ' large will be benefited. We want your co-operation and good will, and with it we feel that all things are If you have not opened an account with us, we would like to have you make up your mind to the great ad vantages of such an account, and be gin now. Your business is welcome and will receive courteous attention, whether it is one dollar or ten thous and. Banking is entirely a business of co-operation. A community must have banks and the banks must have the support of the community. All we ask or hope for is that we shall be able to give the same advantages and courtesies m the future that have won the warm hearted, loyal support of our people in the past. We want to see a bank account opened in every home in this locality during 1908, and we are here to assist every indi vidual to get some place beyond the needs of thejiour. We pay four per cent, interest compounded every three months, on savings deposit and pay your money back when called for.

Kin; or Portugal Assassinated. Lisbon Feb. 1st, Associated DWpntoh. King Carlos, of Portugal, and the Crown Prince, Luiz Philippe, were assassinated to-day and the city is in a state of uproar. The King's second son, the Infanta Manuel, was slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the Crown Prince's life by throwing herself upon him, was unhurt. A band of men, waiting at the cor ner of the Praco do Commercio and the Rua de Arsenal, suddenly sprang toward the open carriage, in which the family were driving to the palace and leveling carbines which they had concealed upon them, fired. The King and the Crown Prince, upon whom the attack was directed, were each shot three times and they lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsenal, nearby, where they expired. Almost at the first shot the King fell back on the cushions dying and at the same moment the .Crown Prince was seen to half arise and then sink back on the seat. Queen Amelie jumped up and threw herself toward the Crown Prince in an apparent effort to save his life at the cost of her own, but the 1'rince had received his death wound. The police guard fired upon the assassins and killed three of them. The royal family were returning from Villa Vicosa, where they had been sojourning and were on their way from the railroad station to the palace. A strong guard was in at tendance because of the recent upris ing in the city and the discovery of a plot to assassinate Premier Franco and overthrow the monarchy. Put the band of murderers had selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for they were concealed from the eyes of the police until the carriage had wheeled into the Praco de Commercio, a large square. Before any of the guards were aware of what was happening the assassins leaped toward the car riage and instantly a fusillade of shots rang out. In a moment all was terrible confusion, the King and Crown Prince being shot down without the slightest chances to save themselves. Police guards sprang upon the reg icides, the number of whom is some what uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after be ing placed in prison. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Span iard named Cordova. The bodies of the king and the Crown Prince were removed from the marine arsenal in two closed carriages to the royal palace, the Paco Das Necessimades, the late residence of the King, escorted by municipal guards mounted. The news of the as sassination swept through the city like fire through dry grass. To-night the populace is panic stricken, not know ing where the next blow may fall. There is the greatest dread for the fu ture of the country, which seems on the verge of being plunged into the awful throes of a revolution with all the attendant horrors and bloodshed. Throughout the city consternation reigns, and all the houses and busi ness places are barricaded. Use DeWitt's Little Early Risers, pleasant little pills. They are easy to take. Sold by The jsraine Jtrug Co. Rev. Holcomb Indicted. Cartersvllle, Ga , dispatch, Jun. HOtli. For the alleged use ot improper language in lue piescuue ui iauie while in the. Tabernacle pulpit, Rev. Walter Holcomb was yesterday indict ed by the grand jury. Holcomb is a son-in-law and co-worker of the late Sam Jones. The alleged offense occurred at the great meeting held here in the Sam Jones Tabernacle last fall. A sermon to men only by Rev. French Oliver was advertised for Sunday afternoon, and 5,000 people gathered to hear. There were many ladies present, they not understanding that Oliver was to preach to men only. Owing to the rain the women were slow in depart ing, and Holcomb, it is alleged, began to shame them for waiting to hear Oliver's words for men only, at. the same time mentioning some of the things that would be discussed. It is alleged that Holcomb was very frank and used words never spoken from a pulpit. Much Indignation was creat ed and the indictment followed. Preservation of Timbers Against Marine Borer. The length of service of piles in wharfs and other marine structures is greatly shortened by the attack of marine borers, or shipworms. A method of protection, both efficient and cheap, is much needed, the more so because the timbers best suited for piling are becoming very scarce and are increasing rapidly in price. Marine borers are found as far north as Maine and Alaska, though they are more numerous and destruc tive in the warmer waters farther south. Since they require only a small exposed surface in order to gain entrance and completely destroy a pile, any effective means of preser vation must protect the wood from high-water mark to a point in the mud below which the borers do not go. - The principal timbers used for pil ing are longleaf, shortleaf, and lob lolly pine, and white and oak on the Atlantic cost and Gulf of Mexico, and Douglas fir on the Pacific coast. spruce, redwood, cedar, cypress, eucalyptus, and palmetto are used locally. All of these woods with the exception of palmetto are subject to damage by Borers. Hardness is not a complete barrier to their attack, although boring is probably slow in dense woods. Southern pine and oak can be impregnated with creosote, and this promises to be one of the most efficient means of resisting the borers. It is probable that some of these timbers can be successfully treated by the open-tank process. Circular 128, just issued by the Forest Service, gives a detailed de scription of the most important marine borers and their habits, together with a discussion of the different forms of mechanical devices in use for the pro tection of piling and of protection by chemical preservatives. This publi cation will be sent free upon applica tion to the Forester, Department of Agriculture, Washington, I). C. A Dangerous Operation is the removal of the appendix by a surgeon.

In a report today regarding build ing operations and the timber supply, the geological survey says that the increasing price of lumber and a rapidly increasing use of perfected fireproof systems of construction should have much to do in holding down the amount which forests are called upon to yield each year, but that so far these more substantial materials have not decreased the lnmber cut of the nation. Notwith standing the remarkable increase the use of cement and other fireproof materials the last reports of the building operations in 49 of the lead ing cities of the United States for the year, that 59 per cent, were of wooden construction. This does not include the large quantities of lumber used for the construction of dwellings, stores and other buildings in the thousand of small cities and towns scattered over the country, and not included in the 49 cities on which a reckoning was made. In towns and small cities wood is usually the predominating building mnterinl find it is snfe to sav that if the statistics had included figures for all places of whatever size, the per centage of wooden construction would have been much greater. These fig ures as a rale are only for the cor porate limits. The average costs of buildings is constantly increasing, having risen over $300 during the last three years. The average value of a building is given in the report as $2,035. Medicine That Is Medicine.

There has been many unjust criti cisms laid at the door of the medi cal profession on accout of the pro fessional buzzards that infests its ranks. Parasites are found in every walk of life; but, the medical profes sion furnishes a special pabulum for their existence. The scientific physician has to con front all kinds of healing faiths and nostrums, which are the world's great est set-back to human progress at the present age thus we have them ranking from the common conjurer up to the osteopath. Some of them in their blasphemous nature degrade the Holy Gospel to practice their de ceptive methods. It goes without saying that the most ignorant and superstitious outside the jungles of Africa are the only followers of such methods at the present date. The scientific physician is out for your health-sake whether you desire his services or not. He is now in structed to practice preventive as well as curative medicine. It is his pro fessional as well as his religious duty to look after the sanitation of his peo ple in their habits, customs, social and physieial environments. The science of medicine is no more a myth; but, a true science of many ramifications. The fact is that the whole practice of medicine is now be ing remade upon larger lines. The doctor of fifty years ago the mere body-patcher and pill-carrier has almost disappeared from the cities at least. In his place is a family counsellor a sort of secular cunfes sor, to whom we tell our troubles of mind and body and who has charge of our well-being in a general way. This change has been brought about by the passing of the old religion, which regarded the body as nothing but a temporary receptacle fur an immor tal soul. While this dogma was believed the doctor was a man of little consequence. He was only the repairer of a miser able body of flesh and blood and bone. He had nothing to do with the intel lectual and moral side of his patient. He was a sort of plumber, nothing more. For centuries doctors had to play second fiddle to the clergy. Indeed all through the middle ages there was neither prestige nor profit to be gain ed from following the medical pro fession. To-day the clergy has eliminated its superstitious fads, while the doc tor and the scientist have come to the front. The doctor is respected by the best classes because he has a grasp of the facts; because he has cut loose from superstition and allied himself with science. The last half century has been the greatest epoch-making period of the medical science in the world's history. The doctor of the future will no doubt be the guide and adviser of the people in morals as well as physical matters. He will "minister to a mind dis eased" as well as to a stomach dis eased. He will enter into the whole life of the people because he is the only one whose profession permits him to do so. He will shape charac ter and give battle to the myths of the mind. Ho will give experience to the young, knowledge to the feath- ni hpnnivl nml (inmwmi orrnoft try t ho fanatic. As his profession gains in prestige and comprehensiveness, it will lyso the quackery and commer cialism that bessts it to-day. In order to increase the average longevity of the human life it is necessary to improve the sanitary condition and habits of the people by preventive measures, which is the main effort of the medical profession to-day through the state and muni cipal laws to limit contagious diseases and drug habits, etc. The Pure Food and Drug Law is a living monument of the medical science and one of the greatest blessings of the twentieth century. It keeps us from being Bert Barber, of Elton, Wis., Bays: "I have only taken four doses of your Kidney and madder nils anu they have done for me more than any oth er medicine has ever done.. lam still taking the pills as I want a per- feet cure " Mr Barber refers to De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, They are sold by The Brame Drug II I HITS OK dirt eaters and drug habitues without our knowledge. It lets the sunshine in our grocery stores and drug shops. It has closed the doors of many nos trum manufacturers and changed the formula of nearly all the remaining patent and proprietary nostrums. Many of them contained some kind of "dope" or drugs that produce a habit. Some contained alcohol in a large percentage, some opium, some cocaine, some eucaine, some acetan ilid, some caffeine, etc. Whether it is through this avenue that drug habits are increasing or not, nevertheless it is true. The more easily obtained the article the more liable the people are to be come habitues thus we observe that in the opium-raising countries as in China, India, Persia, and Turkey opium eating and smoking are as common as alcohol habitues of Europe and America among the Caucasians. The Woman's Medical Journal says that "there are one hundred millions of the Chinese race that are opium smokers." How it knows this I can not say; but if this is true, the cause of that race lingering in their be nighted state is evident, as an opium fiend ceases to be an active andrational itizen soon after the habit is estab lished. He depends for a comfortable ex istence on the drug, and day by day increases the dose until the most extraordinary amount is taken. If the drug is withheld a train of symp toms typifying depression and ex haustion ensues. The subject resem bles a fish out of water. The mis erable man or woman wrings his' or her hands and begs, screams, howls or yells for opium only to break down and cry on being refused the usual dose of the dope. The most characteristic symptom of chronic opium eating is the devel opment of the most clever lying in previously truthful persons. In the same breath that the patient begs the physician to cure him ho will lie to obtain the drug in a surreptitious manner and may even have the drug in his mouth at the time he speaks. It-will often be found hidden in the seams of the patients clothing. Klep tomaniacs are often found to be se cret opium eaters. N Opium fiends live in a fixed morbid uncontrollable craving for constant satisfaction, and undergoes a physi cal moral and mental decline. I regret to note that opium taking is increasing to a frightful extent in the United States and among the poor and miserable in the large cities laudanum, paregoric, chlorodyne and soothing syrups are drunk to an alarm ing extent. It will be remembered that the leg islature of 1907 of this state cut out the sale of laudanum and all prepar ations of opium containing over two grains to the ounce by merchants and even retail druggists except on a pre option of a physician, dentist or eterinarian. This no doubt was a good step for the right as laudanum was a danger ous drug to be used promiscuously in a family, which, not only produced legions of opium fiends in adults but laudanum fiends in babies and many thousand deaths of infants annually. Paregoric is the strongest obtain able opiate for family use now in this state to be had without a prescription. Merchants and retail druggist should be notified of this fact before they have to be brought to justice in some unfair way. well as in America against ' dope" taking. Some of the greatest nations of the world's history have degener ated from vicious habits of allied nature. Cocaine is another drug used as a "dope" especially among tho ne groes of the South about the cities. They use it in the form of a snuff, which they inhale into their nostrils. The most common way that the co caine habit is contracted is by the use of patent and proprietary catarrh remedies containing cocaine. The Pure Food and Drug Law put the "Cole Catarrh Cure" out of busi ness on account of the high percent age of cocaine it contained. It had large sales in and about the large northern cities. The habitual use of cocaine causes most extraordinary mental changes, exceeding those pro duced by any other drug. The most noteworthy symptoms are intense selfishness, utter disregard of all social and domestic duties, the most debasing habits, complete destruction of all noble qualities and a general condition of depravity. It is claimed by good authorities that if cocaine is used continuously by an individual for one month that he becomes practically insane while under the drug. There are a large number of ace tanilid fiends who contracted the habit by taking cheap headache tab lets containing that drug. Caffeine is the active principle of coffee, which has many confirmed habitues. It is a stimulant to the digestive organs, but if used in large quantities for a long time produces many digestive troubles with irregu lar heart action. Tobacco the last but not the least of the habit producing drugs to con sider: The crusades against the use of tobacco are becoming numerous of late years on accouut of its evil ef fects on minors. Although it is look ed on by some as being actually one of the necessities of life and is be coming one of the largest commercial i resources of the world. But the evil effect of the habit has received but little attention until of late years by the medical profession. It is looked on now as being a great curse to humanity by scientific investigators. It is considered one of the greatest avenues by which the young take their downward start to degradation and degeneration. Used by the young it hindera the development of the higher nerve centers and impairs the nutrition of the body by interfering with processes of digestion and assim ilation, it blunts the moral sense and causes mental aberration and even insanity. The young cigarette smoker fails to develop the steady cn;l K'ueral as piring disposition characteristic of true manhood; but instead develops into an unstable, fickle.hysterienl being without either puipose or aspirations in life. He becomes a miserable so cial apostate of criminal inclinations. He is simply a physical and mental dwarf, The continued use of tobacco in the adult often causes a train of symptoms typifying nervous exhaustion and de pression, irritability of the heart, blindness, dyspepsia and inflamation of the mouth and throat. The so-called "tobacco heart" in cludes many forms of nervous, pain- tul or oppressed heart action, but in the young the excessive use of to bacco may lead to organic heart dis- sease. Yours truly, Henry C. Raxkin. A Compromise All 'Rounu. Oliurlotte Observer. It is trite but true that all impor tant legislation is the result of com promise. It was never truer of any than of that effected at Raleigh last week in the railroad rate case. The whole scale of rates from 2 cents to 3 1-1 was run and there was no sum between but had its friend. Further than this, the Senate had voted by a substantial majority for the Buxton amendment to the Graham bill, com mitted to the corporation commission, after January 10th, next, the rate making power, and this amendment was stricken out by the House by a narrow majority. This, like the gree ment on a 2 1-2 cent rate was a com promise, effected in order to get the principal feature of the Glenn-Finley compromise enacted. The Obsesver has always stood for a 2 1-2 cent rate, not because it be lieved this right but because it knew that to urge a higher figure would be idle. The old rate of 3 1-4 cents was not excessive but 3 cents would have been nearer justice all around and at least 2 3-4 ought to have been accord ed, with a milage book intra-State and inter-State at 2 1-2. It is cause of great satisfaction that a measure fairly acceptable to all except ex tremists who "have it in for the com pany was finally agreed upon and en acted, but the State of North Carolina ought not, after the injury it has done the railroads and itself, plume itself upon its magnanimity, for in the final analysis it has done less than justice.
