MONUMENTS TO MEN
THE1K DOUBLE VALUE.
The commemoration of the lives of
illustrious men, through the visible, afj
ter their death, has much more than a
personal significance. If the great
tomb, the high shaft of marble, the
statue of bronze simply represented the
dead, their value would be small. But
every monument small or tfroat, to
those who look upon them, point3 a
way of progress. There is history in
the name on each monument. Each
name suggests to the onlooker the value
of right living, of living for other than
self Great monuments raised by loving
hands to lienor the dead, prove that the
bodies resting beneath, or the statue rep
resentative of the departed, stands for
lives that made sacrifices, and there
fore must have been unselfish.
The personal self -sacrifice is an ele
ment of o-Tsonal greatness, k is not
giving out of an abundance, bu' of giv
ing when the giver feels the personal
loss, through the effort occasioned in
tne iriving. It is to men anil women
who have given something of their own
lives fo; and to others, that are to be
remembered, and those who knew the
value of their self-sacrilice, honor
them through marble, bronze, steel or
by some memoi i;il.
The coming of Mclver Day, on Ue
cember 14th, brings to remembrance a
man whose life was devoted to others,
to the youth, and through the youth,
to the State's posterity. The honor of
designating a day to the memory of
Charles Duncan Mclver is in itself a no
ble and deserved tribute. But beyond
this has been the purpose to place
Mclver statue in the grounds of the
great college, that stands the greatest
and highest memorial to his ceaseless,
never tiring efforts. The college
stands for this man's work. The stat
ues before the college, will stand for
the mute perpetuation in bronze, of the
great man, departed, and so standing
the contribution of those who loved and
revered Doctor Mclver, will lend its
value to those who look upon it, serving
to inspire those who know what this
man did, to look beyond self, and striv
to live so that, while not seeking self
glorification, yet they may be worthy
of man's and woman's tribute of well
done, if no more, when this life is ended.

Auditing committee are paid to make
additional reports, these past unnoticed
in the columns of the newspaper. The
annual tax is again due. Does the tax
payer who pays again this year, know
what disposition was made in his city or
county, of the tax he paid last year?
If he does not it is his own fault. If
those in office have heedlessly used the
tax money, it is the tax payer's fault.
If the tax payer does not know what is US0
proposed to be done with his money
next year, he is to blame. Tax paying
is not a mere perfunctory contribution.
It is not alms giving. It is in a sense
forced demand upon every citizen.
but the demand of action as to what
shall be done with money collected for
taxes rests upon every citizen. It is a
business proposition, and until tax pay
ers so regard it, and try to keej down
what they pay by knowing definitely
what is going to be done with what is
collected of them, they are going to be
the losers at both ends.
No better resolution could be made
this year by every tax payer, than that
the money paid for taxes will be watch
ed from its payment to its expenditure.

THE TAX PAYER AND
THE TAX MONEY
The tax payer is a person, male or
female, who through some fjrm or
method of taxation, on property, real
or personal, or both; or through some
trade license, in order to do business,
pays in money which goes to the sup
port of town, city, county, State and
National government. This may not be
a yery complete definition, but it will
answer.
What is of special importance at this
time of the year, is the payment of
taxes., Every sheriff and municipal
tax collector loudly proclaims the need
of money. And the average tax payer
gives the announcement little attention,
certainly not enough to cause the pay
ment of taxes. The time limit is
months away, is the thought of most of
; tax payers. Therefore let the tax
gatherer wait,
But beyond this, how much attention
does the average tax payer give to
what is actually done with the money
. which he has so grudgingly given to set
tle his annual tax account. , If a mer
chant or citizen gives one dollar to any-
- thing exeept the church or to pay for
. taxes, he will demand a full accounting
for every cent of it. But taxes must
be paid, and it is " very hard luck
to pay tnera bo x aon t care
what ia done with the money collected,
Such is the thought and action of most
taxpayers- Th it it is not practical or
businesslike, no one will deny. City
and county treasurers make their reports
t!ir;eare published and seldom read.
WHAT DO YOU DO
WITH YOUR MONEY ?
The business interests of the country,
many of them, are complaining at pres
ent in the shortness of cash in general
circulation, which causes high interest
rates for those who wish to borrow
money for legitimate trade interests.
secre a-y Shaw of the United States
Treasury, says that large sums of
money are sent South to pay for cotton,
and a great deal of this money disap
pears, that people carry it around in
their pockets, or hide it in soma secret
place.
In this connection it is fair to ask
every person who does business, and
specially the farmers what do you do
with your spare money ? It has not
been long since the Southern agricul
turists asked for the establishment of
local banks, so that they would not be
compelled to depend for getting needed
money or loans from the banks of the
larger cities, and money centers. The
response to this call has been legislation
granting charters to those who wished
to establish banks with moderate capi
tal. That is instead of $25,000 or $100,-
000,00(1 being necessary before a bank
could secure a charter, $5,000 can now
get the charter, and business of the
bank can begin.
As a local illustration, look around
this immediate section. Banks at Ori
ental, Vanceboro, Bayboro, Dover,
Pollocksville. These banks are for the
local convenience of the people of their
immediate neighborhoods. The farm
ers and tradesmen can transact their
banking business at home. They can
get money as easily as they could, if
they came to New Bern. Their own
people and themselves are stockhold
ers and the money lenders. What are
the people doinij for their home bank ?
Are the men carrying around unneces-
sary rolls of money in their pockets ?
Are the women hiding odds and ends of
money they get about the house ? If
they are, is it fair, when the bank
within a mile or two, chartered for their
good, offers a safe depository for their
money ? Five dollars is not much mon
ey, perhaps, but if one hundred faml
lies have but this amount in their own
possession, kept as a nest egg, it means
five hundred dollars kept out of circa
lation. Double this once or twice as
the community may be prosperous, and
it means a heavy withdrawal of curren
cy that ought to be in bank, and so in
circulation, to work for the country'!
best interests.
Let every farmer, every citizen help
his bank, as he would his merchant.
Don't keep money hid away. Put it in
the bank and let it earn something for
its owner, and otherwise help the com1
munily. Remember the bank helps you
so give it equal confidence, and put your
exra dollars in it's safe keeping.

Captain f ugh has no hope of saving
the station, which is a model structure
and supports a crew of Beven men. He
is at a loss to account for the sinking
of the breanwater, piers and made
land, unless on the theory of a water
vein or subterranean channel of running
water to the sea. If this ia the easel
there can be no assurance of safety for
the point on which the life saving sta
tion ane the remains of old Fort Macon
are situated.
The life saving station cost 8,000 to
erect. A government inspector is look
ed for to decide on a course of action
in the present emergency.
Visitors to Morehead-and Beaufort in
the summer would not recognize the
changed line of the sound. The channel
is now one hundred and fifty feet wider
than formerly, and unless checked,, the
effect will be to shave the coast line
straight where it had curved towards
