It begins o look like high taxes and high insurance will swamp the people. Japan and the United States are as far apart in connection with the actual settlement of the California land law controversy as ever. This was indicated at the State Depart ment at Washington. It will take months more of negotiation before a solution can be reached, but an amicable settlement is regarded as certain. The race question has been put squarely up to Postmaster General Burleson, in a petition signed by more than eight thousand railway mail clerks, urging the segregation of white and negro employes in the service. It was presented by Robt A. Pratherof Little Rock, Ark. The petitioner asked that the Postmas master General issue an order put ting the segration into effect at once. Representative Doughton says that people of this State were more interested in office than the tariff. However, pertinently remarks an exchange, the people have as much right to run for office and to be in terested in these offices as the Con gressmen have to run for their po sitions. Congressmen should not try to belittle the people about be ing office seekers when they are in the same boat with them. The practicability of Farmers' co-operative banks in this country is vividly pointed out in an article which D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte has just contributed to theManufac turers' Record. He makes the point in the contribution that a band of farmers, without aid from the gov ernment, can organize upon th basis of building and loan associa tions and make available through this method whatever financiering is needed for farm improvements. Trinity's Large Income. Trinity College at Durham now has the largest income of any of Southern colleges. This fact was disclosed when it was announced that the recent movement for in creasing the endownment fund had brought the total amount of the fund up to $1,410,000. Of this amount $420,000 will be spent upon the buildings and grounds. The remainder added to the old endow ment, will give an income produc ing.fund of $1,108,000. Benj. N. Duke and James B. Duke have given altogether a total of $1,149,300. The General Education Board gave $150,000. The remainder came from other friends of the college. . You are Right Brother. The Greensboro Record speaks a parable when it says: A public man cannot sneeze before some upstart declares he is a candidate for some big office. Gov. Craig stated some time ago that he was not going to be a candidate for any office in the future, but would go back among his people at Asheville and live in peace, yet since he has been doing his simple duty in fighting for just freight rates, some smart Alec bobs up with the charge that he wants to go to United States Senate and in self-defense the man had to issue another denial. Put the search and seizure law on these reports and it will be found they had their origin in the brain of some railroad man. Will be Up to the Legislature Just now it appears to be sure that if anything is done to relieve the freight discrimination matter, the Legislature in special session will havQ to do it and we hope when the time comes the members will have enough stuff up their sleeves to make 'em come across. A "force put" is better than no put at all, says the Record. The people of North Carolina have been down on their knees begging and imploring for these many years; they have tried throwing a few tufts of grass, but by golly, they are now in the notion of throwing big rocks. Re taliatory measures are to be de plored, but when nothing else will avail, go at them. One thing is sure the old practice of raising rates to make the people pay the extra cost cannot be resorted to. I The Slow Boy. O, you boy at the tail end of those graduating classes, cheer up! We've seen you many a time and oft, out in the world where the big fight goes on, standing on the ram parts with the colors in your fist, while the medal-winners and the class leaders and the valedictorians were either shot full of holes or were in lull retreat. The race, of a versty, Is not always to the swift, says the Star. Sad though it is, it is nevertheless more often the case than otherwise, that the brightest boys in college are eclipsed in the workaday world by the boys whose fingers were not nimble with the pen, whose tongues were not lim ber in debate and whose brains took hold on problems with pailful slow ness. They had to dig for what they got, and once they got it they ! , , j, ... , . ... had it and kept it and put it to use. All honor to the boy who leads his j class, but here's to the boy who tails it! The Cost of County Schools. A glance at the estimated cost of the schools of Granville County for the coming term exhibits the great interest manifested in education, and we can but feel that the money will be well spent. There are 83 white and 48 colored teachers in the county. The salary of the white teachers amounts to $14,300 and tW nf th wi 4 7R0 Th. I . , , , , . incidental expense of the white , schools is $880 and that of the col- j ored $388. The cost of four months school for white is placed at $15,-! ( 180, and for colored $5,168. The, funds necessary for four months j school, both white and colored, j amounts to $29,538, and the total j deficit for four months school is j $4,998, which has to be raised by a ! special tax of 15 cents on the $100 valuation of property. It is impossi ble to figure in dollars and cents the good that will be accomplished with this money. The County School Board with its excellent corps of teachers is to be congratulated on the high standard of the schools, and their work mark a new era in the enlightment and prosperity of the good old county of Granville. ! I Is There a Refrigerator In Your Home. The question is timely. A refrigerator, when kept up to the mark with OUR ICE, more than earns its keep any day in the year. But the season is now at hand when there is a double reason why you should have a good refrigerator-- first, to keep the perishable food you buy regularly in good condition; second to take advan tage of days when prices are lowest on meats, fruits, veg etables, etc., and you can buy in quantities Yes, get a refrigerator right away if you haven't one already, and let us keep you in ice, and be sure it is big enough to hold sufficient ice for 24 hours or even a little more. OUR ICE is pure, and you can depend upon our weights and service. The sooner you start your refrigerator working with OUR ICE- in the box the more you will save and the better you will be pleased. Why wait any longer? Call us. One delivery daily except Sunday. Oxford PHONE 132 Southern Farmers Thrift. The most potent resource of this great country of ours is its agricul ture and the chief hope of the na tion's future is the possibility of its intense productive resources. In the South there is a greater diver sity of soil and climate, and hence a greater diversity of agricultural adaptabilities and opportunities than can be found in any other por tion of the country. We can grow more farm products than any other i: r i 1 HT portion ui uie cuuuuj. c -xu grow more varieties of fruits than any other portion of tho country. We can raise about all the crops any other part of the country can raise, but the great agricultural potentiality of the South is that it can produce several ready cash crops that other sections cannot produce says the Star. In cotton, tobacco and peanuts the South has three great money crops for which there is a ready demand in every portion of the world. While the South possesses all this vesatility of pro duction and its adaptability for ag riculture are greater than that of any other portion of the country, we diversify our agriculture less than any other section. However, with all our advantages as an agricultu ral region, we should lead the world in the diversity of farm products. POISON GAS IN STOMACH. Nothing Like Mi-o-na Stom ach Tablets to Banish Misery.
