One of the things which every
farmer should know is how to bring
more business methods : into his af
fairs.4 This would save' a lot of
valuable time and worry. Jhere are
many ways in which farmers loose
by not doing this. .One source of loss
comes by carrying money around in
stead of sending it. They frequent
ly lose time, taking long trips and
expose themselves to bad weather,
to carry money which could be sent
through the mails with but little
trouble. For instance if you owe
The Graphic, it is much easier to buy
a check, which ean be , sent in an
ordinary letter for two cents, than
to make a trip to pay us. You can
buy a post office money order for
three cents to pay your subscription
and 8eid it in a letter. Because it
is not convenient to come here, some
of our subscribers leave oil their
subscriptions for a year i or two,
when they could so easily send a
check or money order. .

1 Washington",' Jan. 26. Former
United Slates Senator Marion But
ler, of North Carolina, was de
nounced on the floor of the Senate
by Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas,
yesterday. 1 1 ," .yV
The denunciation was administered
in connection with an amendment to
the Indian appropi iation bill offered
by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, pro
viding for the payment of the fees
of attorneys for the ColvQIe reserva
tion Indians in the collection of a
claim of $1.500,000. ' ; " i
Making a point of order against
the amendment, Mr. Davis said: ,
"I am advised that ex-Senator
Marion Butler is interested In this
matter. I have seen ex-Senator But
ler,, hovering around here, and I
want to say when I see that gentle
man here I at once form a suspicion
that there is something dead in Den
mark. He has secured more claims
than any other man within my
knowledge, and the fact that he has
an interest In a claim ' Is in itself
enough to ' put the , Senate on its
guard."-; ' -; .r. S:
, Senator Davis stated also that the
claim had grown out of a contract
with the Indians procured by Col.
Hugh Gordon,; a son of ex-Senator
Gordon of Mipswippla'KL'XIr:
gresstnan Marsh,- of Pennsylvania,
but he said that in ' committee the
statement had been made that when
the contract was made Colonel Gor
don waa the secretary of his father
as Senator. He said also that $60,000
had been paid the attorneys. ;
Defending the provision, Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, . said that the at
torneys had been awarded 10 per
cent on the $1,600,000. He added
that $4,000,000 had been collected by
the Indians as a result of the work
done. He also declared that no im
proper influence had ' been ' used in
connection with the claim.
The point of order was sustained
and the bill carrying about $9,000,
000 was passed. The bill is the first
of the general appropriation bills to
pass the Senate.
la Paver ef Salaries.
The fee system is losing in strength
in North Carolina, f which is admit;
tedly ahead of Virginia in correcting
this great governmental - abuse
through the efforts of the Democrat
ic party. Forsythe county has begun
the salary system for payment of
county officers and has saved just
$10,000 annually by doing so -j-j
In Wake county, the county "of
ficers will be'paid salaries next year.
Nobody now knows what , these of
ficers have been,;, receiving. . The
county treasurer, it is thought, has
been getting from ' $3,500 to $4,000
the year, sometimes more. The
clerk is said to be getting $6,000 af
ter paying ; all his assistants. The
register of deeds has received from
$4,000 to $5,000 net. Tbe sheriff has
been content with something like
$10,000 the year, . ;
Wake county voters began the agi
tation four years ago, and , they
thought that they ,1 had their repre
sentatives in the Legislature pledged
to enact a salary system law. If the
officers had been put on a salary
then, the county would have been
$10,000 richer now. The year the
legislators will carry out their
pledges. ' - -,i.v I";

AN ARTIFICIAL HANDICAP.
Tae Teaaat SiteSa as Tleweel by
' Tke State ihress. r .
The tenant systeni operative in
the agricultural sections of the South
is one of the greatest drawbacks to
our general prosperity. ..The South
Is a comparatively sparsely settled
section. . It has the broad acres, but
it has not people to Occupy and de
velop them. The tenant system fur-f
niahesa comparatively easymeans
of land disposition; but It ii an ex
ceedingly expensive "one- The land
lord gets his tenant. turns . over his
land to him, furnwtyes team, etc.,
and then is to a certain extent; re
lieved of further bother until the
time comes to gathe j in the returns
for the year. ' The crop is only par
tially, if at all, under the landlord's
control, and only partially under the
tenant's control. Thlf merchant who
furnishes the supplks binds up both
for advances made. The crop has to
be a "money cropi-in 'order that
both the merchant and landlord may
get, their money. , Tjie (crant, feels
no propriety interest in the land, and
usually uses it in such a way as to
get the largest returns from it with
the smallest amount possible return
ed td it. ' . '": .i
Thus Southern agriculture is. by
artificial conditionshandicapped to
begin with., We have the agricul
tural resources, but Ithey ' can never
be developed properly under the pre
vailing system of agriculture in the
South. It Is a "slack" arrangement
that means prosperity for neither
landlord or tenant. There are good
tenants to be sure,' put there are
hundreds of irresponsible tenants,
and this system makes the tenant a
dictator really of how he will or will
not work and that J too.' while he
owns h& -prjpr.i9ti.ej 'interest, jai
therefore does not. ''have the bag to
hold." !:"; ,
Is there no remedy for thisT There
is. As one writer suggests, "Let
the tenant go, raise stock, buy mod
ern machinery, make one acre of
land produce as much as your tenant
produced on two or three and sell if
you can, every acre of land that you
cannot control or utilize to an ad
vantage." . ' "
- Generally speaking, the South is
land poor, and the tenant system is
an expensive expedient to attempt a
solution of the difficulty. It matters
not how favorable agricultural con
ditions may be otherwise, our , ills
will never be cured until, the. South
becomes a land of small farms and
tenants give way to small proprie
tors. Kinston Free Press.

New York,' Jan.,. 20, Andrew
Carnegie to-day announced a gift of
$10,000,000 to the endowment fund
of the Carnegie Institute of Research
of Washington. This brings his en
dowment of the institution up to a
total of $25,000,000.
In confirming the endowment Mr.
Carnegie said: ' '
" "The report is correct They had
a large endowment before and this
ten millions makes the total of their
endowment $25,000,000, but the in
stitution has already scored success
to Justify even that sum. I believe
that the institution in research will
repay tenfold in service to the
world.'' ,,: 1-,;-.1 -''-' ' '
, Mr. Carnegie's latest donation to
the institution, like his first,, is in
bonds.' The institution was founded
Jan. 28, 1902,- when Mr. Carnegie
gave to a board of trustees $10,000,
000 in registered bonds, yielding five
per cent interest. The purpose of
the institution in . Mr. Carnegie's
words is "in the broadest and most
liberal manner to encourage investi
gation, research and discovery, show
the application of knowledge to the
improvement of mankind and pro
vide such buildings,, laboratories,
books and apparatus as may be

' Oacle feat as a Banker.
By the time this issue reaches our
readers. Uncle Sam will have started
on his career as a banker. He has
established one postal bank in every
state and territory of the Union,
which opened for deposit last week.
Anyone over ten yoars of age may
open an account with Uncle Sam by
depositing one dollar. . All the mon
ey deposited with him is free from
the restrictions of state banking laws
For instance, the deposit of any boy
or girl is free from interference by
the parepts or guardian; or a mar
ried woman may deposit money in
her own name and keep it in the
bank in spite of any demands of her
husband. Depositors in postal banks
have the right to open but one ac
count. J , -;'.- '
The money deposited will bear
two per cent interest. The security
is postal savings bonds. It is plan
ned that the money taken in will be
leased , to the national banks at a
slightly higher rate of interest than
two per cent. By ; means of this
slight margin the expense of the
whole system will be paid.
While the rate of interest secured
on money deposited in postal banks
is slow, their establishment means
much to many thousands of people.
Bj means of our postoffices, we will
haye established what is to all prac
tical purposes a saving bank for
every fifteen hundred inhabitants. In
the past we have had but one sav
ings bank to every fifty-two thous
and inhabitants. The increased op
portunity for saving thus offered and
the absolute , reliability . of the se
curity together with , the laws pro
viding, that the deposits are not
subject to interference by parents,
guardian, or creditors should quickly
result in the putting of many mil
lions of hoarded dollars into circula
tion. -Wallace's Farmer.

HIGHWAYS TO BE ENCOURAGED.

; Ceseral Asseaafely Last Week.
Raleigh. N. C, Jan, 19.-A bilf to
create a State highway department,
composed of a State highway com
mission and State highway engineer
to co-operate with counties and
townships in the construction of
good roads, was offered in the Sen
ate today by Boyden, of Rowan, with
every assurance that it will be speed
ily enacted.
' It provides for one-fourth of the
cost bf the road improvements in co
operation construction to be borne
by the State and three-fourtha by
the counties benefited, the State to
levy a tax of one-fourth of one mill
on every dollar of taxable property
for the State's fund. '
Another bill by the same Senator
asks for an annual appropriation of
$100,000 for the maintenance of the
State University and $75,000 an
nually for two years for repairs and
permanent improvements.
The House passed a bill to protect
labor organizations from exactions
by employers from employes that
they do not join unions. .
Among the new bills in the House
was one by Rose, of Cumberland, to
authorize the Supreme Court to in
crease the salary of the Supreme
Court reporter to $1,800. Home, of
Johnson,, offered one to authorize
the Board of Agriculture to pay the
debt for A. & M. College agricul
tural building out of the oil tax rev
enue which is accumulating without
prevision for its application.

Factor Sites free.
A town that wants to grow should
give all possible encouragement to
manufacturing enterprises and old
enterprises seeking new' locations.
One way that this may be done is to
give free sites to companies seeking
permanent location. Another is to
exempt them from local taxation for
a specified time. Baltimore has re
cently been offering to give free sites
and The Sun tells of the result as
follows:
Already the offer to give free fac
tory sites for permanent establish
ments in Baltimore is bearing fruit.
Van Ness and the Carroll families,
who jointly own a lot of unimproved
land in Southwest Baltimore, adjoin
ing Carroll Park; are willing to give
a portion of it free for factory sites.
Yesterday the representative of
these donors receive a number of
letters asking for further particu
lars. One of the inquires impressed
this representative forcibly. It came
from York, Pa. The writer said he
had conducted a successful iron
foundry in that city, but was willing
to come to Baltimore if satisfactory
terms could be made. His plant in
York was recently burned.
Before deciding to rebuild he says
he would like to look into a Balti
more proposition, as he felt that this
city would give him a broader field
for distribution and operation.
Those making the offer of the land
here are not ready to take lip these
individual suggestion. They want all
such matters arranged at the City
Hall and through the city officials, to
whom the right to offer the free sites
with the instructions heretofore out
lined, will soon be forwarded, f.
As stated, the donors want it dis
tinctly understood that a plant estab
lishing itself on the land must be
permanent. If for any reason it
should cease operations the land
must revert back to the original
owners.
.5 It is a kind of advertising that
will pay any city, and a good invest
ment Yet in contrast to what Bal
timore is doing we have known of
valuable enterprises being Bhut.out
of cities that they had selected for
location because the city, or its peo
ple, tried to hold them up and rob
them. Not only ; were no induce
ments offered, but even more than
sites were worth were asked for
them because it was thought the
companies had the money and would
pay it. ' That kind of work doesn't
pay a little bit Rale;h Times.
