One copy one year $5.00 One copy three months 1.25 One copy one week 10 Entered through Raleigh, N. C, postofflce as mall matter of the sec ond class, In accordance with the Att of Congress, March S. 1879. The suggestion has been made that the legislature order an lection for state prohibition. In the opinion of men familiar with conditions in North Caro lina the move would be most unwise, for that would force it upon those com munities which do not want prohibition and the laws cannot be properly en forced where public sentiment is against it. The best thing to do is to put a little common sense In the Watts law and let each town or county decide for Itself. The report of the census bureau of the amount of cotton actually ginned Is more reliable than the figures of the government estimating the entire crop. On December 1, 10,025,495 bales had been ginned, against 8,689,663 to the corre sponding date of last year. This would indicate a big yield, and if that Is the case the farmers will have to stand together if they hope to beat the gam blers of Wall street, whose sole desire Is to keep down the price.

The action of the telegraph companies In cutting off franks, so soon after the end of the free pass, may take a lot of men out of politics and send them to the cotton fields. Pay for Congressmen. Fortunately for the members, the bill Introduced in congress to Increase the Salaries of statesmen nowadays engag ed in the fascinating art of making and amending laws, carries the provision that the absurd mileage grab shall be abolished. There can be no objection to the increase from $5,000 to S7.000 or $7,500. It is small pay for some mem bers and extravagant wages for others. Each member, of course, should have a certain amount for legitimate expenses, and when he travels by rail he should receive not more than the amount re quired for the purchase of a ticket. Under the present system a member living in Atlanta receives $129.60 to pay his railroad fare one way, when the actual cost of transportation is less than $26. Formerly, most statesmen traveled on passes. Hereafter these courtesies Will be denied, which possibly accounts for the desire to have wages made higher, yet there is some surprise that the mileage fee may be adjusted. Living in Washington is somewhat expensive, especially if our friends from the south try to keep up with the more fashionable pace. We do not believe, however, that the Increase will add to the number of candidates, for the woods are full today, and they would be full If the salary was cut in half. But that has nothing to do with it. Nor must we consider the fact that some are not worth the mileage. It Is eminently proper, as we see it, to pay these de voted statesmen according to their value of services rendered. Being mod est, they are willing to stop at $7,000, and certainly that is all their services are worth. The country can easily stand the burden, but the country will complain most bitterly if that travel ing graft Is not wiped out. So bitter is the school feeling in San Francisco that the merchants dare not display Japanese lanterns for the holt day trade. The shooting of a former senator of Utah by a woman naturally leads to the impression that everybody In Salt Lake City Is a Mormon. An eminent physician says that run ning is good for the health. That be ing true we fall to see why Mr. Black burn should need Peruna. In a word, Mr. Bellamy Storer be lieves that Mr. Roosevelt's lecture Is a "wicked absurdity." BURIAL OF ENGINEER KINNEY.

Let us talk to you. Hightower & Fort, Real Estate and Insurance, 11 West Hargett Street. For Cheaper Insurance. ' Life Insurance, during the closing days of 1906, is probably undergoing the greatest change that has ever taken place In Its history. This is the result of the enactment of the so-called Armstrong laws by the legislature of New Tork which affect every company having headquarters or other connec tions in that state. That these laws will be permanent and for the ultimate good of the business must go without Baying. Mr. Charles E. Hughes, re- ( cently elected governor, was the man who conducted the investigation of the New York companies and the Arm strong laws were drafted largely by him. As governor he will see that they are wisely enforced. The Investigation was begun to cor rect evils at the home offices of the var ious companies, but the effect of the new legislation will reduce the commis sions heretofore paid the agents and the enormous expenses Incurred by of ficers . The eohbut in the past has been waged by companies anxious to secure the largest amount of business and they freely paid big commissions to those agents who could turn in the greatest number of policies. After January 1 the agents' commissions will be cut down and extravagant salaries going to officers will be eliminated. Fees for medical examiners will be diminished, and in short, there will be retrenchment and reform all down the line. Each company will endeavor to show the largest dividends, the greatest saving for policyholders, all of which will help to make insurance cheaper, reducing the cost, in fact, to a minimum. The agent, of course, is the key to the sit uation. Insurance cannot be written without him. . Those companies which tried to get along without him failed. Big commissions can only be paid at the sacrifice of the policyholder's In terest, and It Is well, therefore, that money will not be squandered In the future. The agent deserves a reason able commission, but the Armstrong law is a step in the right direction, for It will fix a limit to his compensation. His Death Leaves But One of a Fam ily Noted in Southern Railroad History. (Special to The Evening Times.) Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 11. A great concourse of Salisbury and Spencer people followed the funeral train of Engineer George C. Kinney to Thomasville, his home, and the Ma sons of the twin cities took part In the burial of the dead hero. The Southern Railway furnished free transportation to those who desired to attend the last sad rites, and the largest concourse ever seen at such an occasion attended this one. George Kinney's tragic death leaves but one man of a family more noted In railroad history than any operating trains for the South era. There were four of the boys, Frank or "Bud," Will and George. Their father, Jerome Kinney, was as famous as any of the children, and all have borne the reputation of being the bravest and best men who ever sat on the right side of an en gine. Three and a half years ago Charles Kinney met death on train No. 34 near Lynchburg, within a mile or so of the killing of Samuel Spencer, by his brother Will who ran Into Spencer's train with a fly ing Southwestern Limited, No. 37. Charles ran Into a train and jumped from the engine when a car turned over on him. Fate was cruel and had he remained, the apparent cer tain death would have been avoided. Sometime before that, his brother died as the result of heart failure while running an engine on the Sea board. Jerome Kinney, the father, ran into a train near Charlotte, and was so badly disabled that he quit the service. In the courts, he re ceived the largest verdict ever given in a railroad damage suit in this state, $22,500 and interest from date of injury. When Will Kinney dashed into the Spencer train Thanksgiving Day he did not have time to jump, and sitting still, he came out practically unscathed, crawling with his grip through the burning debris and re ceiving scorched hair only. A few days ago George Kinney was being teased by a fellow rail roader and told that his time would come next. He said he had made up his mind that these things are the flats of destiny and that if he met danger he would not dodge it He was true, and when found with his foot pinioned by the reverse lever, his face scalded beyond recog nition and his magnificent physique crushed shapelessly by one of those 1,200 monster engines, it was ap parent that be had not in that dra matic moment experienced fear, an emotion with which he had never exchanged cards in all of his 38 years. Kinaey was a hero who never strove with the world for witness, one always in the silent watches of the night, while he lived and when he died. SEE MY LINE OK VICTOR AND Edison Machines.

(By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 11. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the British am bassador, has been confined to his bed for the past three days suffering from a severe cold. It was said, however, at the embassy today that his condition is now much improved although it will be a couple of days before it will be- safe for him to leave the house. (Special to The Evening Times.) Wilmington, N. C Dec. 11. Ill with pulmonary trouble and distressed be cause of the dying request made by her husband that their four children be taken from her and placed In the Odd. Fellows' Orphanage at Goldsboro, Mrs. Kate E. Holmes succumbed to life's trials and was found dead In bed at her home on Walnut street. Last Tuesday night R. G. Holmes died at the Walker Memorial Hospital after an extended illness. When he realized that death was near he urged upon his brother that his children be sent to the Goldsboro Orphans Home.

BROKE RECORD AS TO MONEY ORDERS. The Raleigh post office's business is increasing enormously and the post office means Raleigh, for there is possibly no one thing which shows a city's growth more than the records at tho post office. Never before in the history of the Raleigh office were as many money orders issued in one day as on yesterday, and all the money was not going out and none coming in, for the amount paid out broke all records for Monday. An enormous business was done in every other department of the office, but the money order business led. From nr until after the holidays the clerks In the office will have a busy time of it, and not only the clerks, but the carriers. It is not that the increase in the number of letters is so great, but a vast amount of holiday literature is sent out and thousands and thousands of pack ages. Tho holiday season carries no bright prospects for the postal clerk, whether In an office or on the train. USEFUL GIFT SUGGESTIONS. Silks for Waists and Full Dresses. Evening Dress Goods.
