We hereby announce to our sub scribers and friends that commencing October 1 st, 1907, the subscription price of the Public Ledger will be $1.25 per year and 75 cents for six months. Bear in mind all who pay up and renew their subscription before that date will get the pnper at the old price. We regret that we are forced to this necessity, though we do not consider this too high a rate for a good home weekly. Our reason for making this advance is the high price of paper and the increased expense? in running the Public Ledger. As our subscribers know everything which one has to buy has advanced in price, and we regret to say that the masses the consumers have to foot the bill. But we are in the hands of the Paper Trust, as our friends are unfortunately in hands of other op pressive trusts. While some of the editors have ad vanced the price to $1.50 we have de cided, however, to advance only 25 cents a year -just enough to enable us to meet the additional costs. i Beyond the Alps lie Italy A Kansas girl who had been given the theme "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," promulgated the following: "I don't care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in the Mis souri. I do not expect to set the river on fire with my future career. I am glad that I had a good education but I am not going to missuse itbj' writing poetry or essays on the future woman. It will enable me to correct the gram nier of any lover I may have should he speak of 'dorgs' in my presence or 'seen a man.' It will also come handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs at the. grocery. So I do not begrudge the time I spent in acquiring it. But my ambitions do not fly so high. I want to marry a man who can lick anybody his weight in the township, who can run an 80 acre farm and who has no female rel ative to come around and try to boss the ranch. I will agree to cook dinners for him and won't send him to an early grave and lavish upon him a whole some affection and to see that his razor has not been used to cut broom wire when he wants to shave. In view of all of this I do not care if I get a little rustvoon the rule of 3 and kindred things as years go by. What man Owes to Town he Lives In. When the town he lives in has ac cepted the man, sometimes at his own valuation, which is largely above par, and sometimes very quietly, merely giving him the chance to show what manner of man he is and crowning him with rewards when he has made "good," it is his manly duty to recipro cate by accepting his chosen town on the same terms. He should at least make a treaty with her containing the "most favored nation clause," and loyally and en thusiastically live up to it. It is in his power to picture his town as an Eden, with bowers of roses and groves of luscious and life-sustaining fruit, or, while not denying the roses and the orchards.he can so arrange his display as to have the snake prominently in the foreground, terrifying timid home seekers from the open gate. It is his duty to present his town to the passing stranger.the casual visitor, the abiding guest, in its best clothes,its clean-washed, shining school-day, and its Sunday morning behavior. This does not imply that he should lie about his town, ascribing to it only absolute perfection and faultless at tractions. But he should display its beauties, its graces and its excellencies with an honest heart and a clear con science, evenas a young mother bash fully holds up to an admiring world the amazing precocity of her first baby, eleven weeks old. Remember what the town was when you came to live in it, then look upon what it is now, and paint the picture with glowing colors and a bold brush on expensive canvas. And if you ascribe much of the cause of its growth and development to the fact that you came to live in it, your fellow citizens, even those who know; you best, will forgive you and testify your forgive ness by their applause. It is the right and duty of the citizens to thus present his towrn in its very best appearance. Exchange. Upon the Afflictions of Others. "One man's meat is another man's poison," says the old proverb, and the misfortune of one is often rejoiced over by another as a stroke of good luck. Certain classes in a community de pend for their prosperity upon the af flictions of others. The lawyer, the doctor, the undertaker, would find their occupations gone were it not for crime, disease and death. Business is only good with them when others are in distress. The rich man's heirs at his death revel in his possessions. A trusted official goes wrong and another man rejoices at being called to filL his place. ' Report on Auburn Collision. The Raleigh Correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: The coroner's jury this afternoon, after an inquest into the killing of Engineer W. C. Parker and Firemen Robert Young and J. W. Bethel in a collision on the Southern Railway at Auburn, this county, August 6th, returned a verdict that the collision was caused by the gross negligence and carelessness of W. W. Rippey, engineerr and C. M. Oakley, conductor, of the passenger train, in overlooking their orders to meet a freight train - at Auburn; and that Chief Train Dispatcher B. R. Ketchum and Victor Parvin, train dis patcher, are guilty Of gross negligence and carelessness in not using the "mid dle order," which the evidence shows was in force on said railway before August 6th; and further, that the Southern Railway is to be censured for the loose way in which its rules are enforced in this the Durham district. Warrants were at once issued for all four of the persons thus found guilty by this jury and they will be brought here for trial. In Memory of Mr. Allen. The writer of this tribute knows of few men whom he would so delight to honor. W. T. Allen was possessed of a rare old time genuine nobility of soul that few mortals can boast. A lover of learning, a ceaseless and untiring friend of education and of all who es poused its cause. No one that loved children, schools, teachers and his country could be brought in contact with Prof. Allen and not feel the warmth of an old time friendship glow ing in his soul. He was no distant friend nor stranger to those engaged in the great cause of education. Open hearted, frank, kind, generous friend peace, love and immortality be thine ! During the years from 1894 to 1 900 when the noble band of mostly young lady teachers so faithfully carried on the work then as now done in the pub lic schools of Granville and the work of superintending the schools weighed so heavily upon me Prof. Allen, like my worthy predecessors W. H. P. Jen kins, Capt. T. D. Clement, B. F. Hes ter, with but few others would walk manfully into the educational office and with boyish enthusiasm greet me and the teachers, and enter heartily into the work. Such open-faced, whole souled men it is hard to give up, but we all must go, leaving only our work and influence as a hertiage to the world. With . sincere sympathy and condolence to the family and relatives and his students, I am his friend, . " A. Baker. . s - Corporation Politics. Our country has had enough more than enough of corporation pol itics. The people are just waking up to the plague and peril of corporation interference and domination. - A halt has been called. A change is demand ed. Special interest corporations have been laying controlling and corrupting hands on politics in the interest of their own entrenchment and enhance ment. Railroad, mining, manufactur ing, packing house, life insurance, liquor dealers these and other special interest corporations have been in the habit aggressively and audaciously of contributing to the campaign funds in such a way, under such con ditions and to such persons and parties as would bring protection and promo tion to the corporations. Expensive lobbies haye been maintained for the purpose of influencing and corrupting the national Congress, State legisla tures and municipal governments. The shrewdest lawyers that can be found are retained for the purpose of legal manipulation; to juggle with technicalities; to defeat the enactment of laws inimical to the corporation in terests, and to devise means for evad ing laws already in existence. The campaign slush fund and the legislature lobby have gone so far in defeating the will of the people and in creasing the power of the corporations, that public sentiment is not only be coming aroused, but hostile and defi ant. The people are coming to see that there is no more corrupting influ ence in the nation than corporation politics. Word and Way. The Farmer is Getting There. The American farmer is rapidly be coming the thinking one. He has tormed an alliance with science, and progress is the result "Forward and upward" is his motto. He is destined to lead where he has heretofore been content as a follower. He is likely to become an important factor in shaping the future welfare of our country. He is the champion of the world's leading industry. Agriculture is the great basis industry of America and the world. The representative farmer of today is becoming as well qualified as a legislator in the halls of Congress, as the lawyer who has heretofore aspired to frame laws for he better govern ment of the masses. The farmer is getting there "on the double quick." WARNING.

Hall. OUR NEW SUPERINTENDENT. Prof. Kittrell left Monday for His New Home in Tarboro. Prof. R. G. Kittrell left Monday for his new position as Superintendent of Schools torTarboro and Edgeeombe county. He has proved an excellent Superintendent and has done a great work for the cause of education in Granville county. We regret that he ha seen fit to leave the county where he has made so many friends. Our people generally recognize the splendid service he has rendered the cause of education, and are sorry the county has lost such a superior educator. j But we are glad to announce that the position of Superintendent has fallen into such excellent hands. Mr. James F. Webb, of Tally Ho Town ship, has been elected to succeed Prof. Kittrell and we have no doubt will prove a worthy successor. He is of good old Granville county stock and has had several years experionce in teaching, a,nd comes to the office high ly recommended. , " Air. Webb is a graduate of the Uni versity of North Carolina, graduating with distinction at that institution. He has since held several important positions as teacher. He is a gentle man of pleasing manners,a fine scholar and an untiring worker; and we feel sure will give satisfaction to the people. We bespeak for him a high degree of success in his chosen work. Habitual Kindness. There is no gift or grace that goes further toward making one beloved than the art of simple kindness. Just to be kind, in smile and word and deed, is the shortest, surest, road to power over other lives. It is better to be kind than brilliant; one brings affec tion and loyalty; the other usually brings in its train only envy and bit terness. This adornment of simple kindnest is one within the reach of everybody. There is no person so un talented as to be incapable of habitual kindness. The grace is one that grows in any soil, and beneath clouds or sun shine, snow or rain. It has taken centuries for men to grow into any thing like an appreciation that is ade quate of the wondrous excellencies of Jesus Christ; but the humblest peasant by the "Lake of Galilee or upon the hills of Judea, could instantly discern and understand his simple kindness: for kindness is the universal language. Westminister. What a New Jersey Editor says. M. T. Lynch. Editor of the Phillipsburg. N. J., Daily Post, writes: I have used many kinds of medicines for coughs and colds in my family but never anything so good as Foley's Honev and Tar. I cannot say too much in praise of it." I. G. Hall. Misunderstood People. One reason why some people do not sympathize with each other in respect to certain matters which particularly affect their lives is because they do not understand one another. And each is so constituted that it is impossible for him to know just what the differences between him and the other one are. The man of mild and very genial tem perament cannot understand why it is that another man of his acquaintance acts so cross and disagreeable as he often does. The former says there is no reason why the latter should make such a spectacle of himself. The mild tempered man does not know how much the other one has to contend against his own constitution. He does not consider the inherited tendencies to irritability to quickness of temper, and to excessive sensitiveness. The genial, self-control person does not know how very hard the passionate man struggles against the turbulent elements within him. He does not know the man's griefs over his failures to act better than he often does act. Nor does the strong Christian under stand his very weak brother. He saj's that the weak one is wholly at fault for being him. The man of daring courage has but little if any patience with the one who often trembles with fear and runs away from the first ap pearance of any serious danger. ; The latter is branded as being an abject coward, unworthy of the respect of all courageous people; and this is because the man of courage does not under stand the other one. He does not stop to think of the self-evident fact that no one wants to be a coward that no one wants to be the subject of harrowing fear. " All people would like to be brave at all times. Let us study each other's type of personality. A truer knowledge of one another would make us more kind to each other. Chris tian Advocate. Card of Thanks. We take this means ef expressing our heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends for their untiring attention given during the recent illness and death of our father, William T. Allen, and may Heaven's blessings be theirs and the two young men who laid aside the affairs at home and gave their entire time till the remains were borne to their last resting place.

Hem is what the Jamestown corres- nondfinf. of the Richmond Times-Dis patch says of North Carolina day at the Exposition: ( "It remained for North Carolina to arise in her patriotism and give the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition the heartiest support that the celebra tion has yet had. Great is North Carolina. 1 he Laro- linians made good the boasts of some of them that JNortn Carolina oay would be the bisrsest day in point of attendance at the exposition to date. 1 1 And what makes a fair successtui, any way, if it isn't attendance? And there was no boomin2 of cannon.parade ana illumination of a great international- fleet of war-ships or presence of nation al hgures or to reign potentates save two American Governors to attract crowds.

Those getting m this morning renort that other thousands were left standing on the depot platforms by trains already loaded to their capacity. " There have been days when more soldiers and sailors have been seen marching on Lee Parade, when the men of the United States and foreign lands have united there, but never be fore today has such a lot of plain sub stantial, prosperous looking American citizens gathered in the Exposition Grounds as was herefrom North Caro lina today.

Governor Glenn was proud at the showing: of his State. Exposition President Harrv St. Georare Tucker acknowledged that North Carolina had outdone all other States in observing her day at J amestown. A Sad Commentary. There are more young men in the penitentiaries in this country learning trades than there are outside of them learning trades. The principal cause of this i3 that we are educating our young men for idle gentlemen, trying to make lawyers, preachers, doctors and clerks out of material that is need ed for blacksmiths, carpenters, mer chants and other honest "hewers of wood and drawers of water." It is a mistake, and a big one, to teach boys and girls to believe that labor is dis graceful, and to do nothing for a living is more becoming to society. Hang such society! It is rotten to the core and is ruining our country today; and there are sons and daughters who are now being educated to play "the lead ing lady" and "walking gentleman' in the great drama of life, who will light out for the poorhouse or the pen itentiary before the curtain drops on the last sad act of the play to which they have been educated by their too indulgent parents. Goldsboro Record. Utilizing the Squeal of the Pig. "Why, do you know?" said Dr. Tait Butler in his address to the farmers of Lee county at Jonesboro Monday af ternoon, "that the Armour Packing Company utilizes everything about the animal which it kills for meat? You have heard how they make use of the hide, hair, feet, snout and the entire contents of the stomach. Well, they have gone further than this they have actually turned to commercial purposes the squeal of the pig. I see you are all laughing; but I am telling you no joke; let me explain. When the butchers in Packingtown begin to stick the hogs which they have ready for slaughter each morning, the hogs squeal and boys are there with phono graphs to catch the squeals. With these phonographs the Armour Pack ing Company picks up the stray nick les at the fairs. The difference between the big trust and the average farmer is, the trust is poor and saves every thing in sight and out of sight, even to the squeal of the dying hog, while the farmer is rich and wasteful. If the Standard Oil Company were not more economical than some of you Lee county farmers are, the head of it would go broke before a week." Subscribe to the Public Ledger.
