It looks as though it is done for sport, but instead, it is the work of a cowardly assassin, who, in our opinion, would as readily poison a man or woman, were it not for the fact that he is afraid of being caught. A person that will p»ison, >r otherwise willfully kill a^og—a man's truest friend —is to l>e jpl.iccd among the worst criminals/ We cannot find iti the linglish language words with which to ex press our contempt for such a per son. skies Are Brightening Business conditions arc l>ettei, the 1 >anks in North Carolina have more cash in them than ever before, the price of cotton is going up and money is-coming to buy it, and every judication points to liettei times and an end of the money panic. When cotton moves freely —(but farmers should not sacrifice their crop by rushing it at the first advance) —there will l>e moie teal cash in North Carolina than ever liefore in its history. The way to hasten that coining is for every man to pay as much of his debts as possible and keep the money moving. It is hardly probable, however, that the New Yoik banks will turn loose much money until January first, when annual dividends and coupons of various sorts become due. Then, so the wisest business men think, the statements will show larger sums of money on hand and the era of stringency will end, though it will require tiuie lo restore confidence and bring back normal conditions.- News Sc Ob server. The Coastal Canal and Mr. Small "To Abolish Cape' Hatteras" is the title of an interesting article on the Atlantic inland water-way in The Technical World Magazine for December, which is accompanied by a pictuieof Hon. John H. Small, Representative in congress of the first district of North Carolina, who is spoken of as "the father ot the inland waterway" and the success of whose seven years fight is con fidently foreshadowed. And upon this great enterprise and its fore most promotor The Norfolk Vir ginian Pilot says: "Should the proposed coastal ca nal become as accomplished fact in the near future, and there is reasoti- T able ground for believing that it will, no small measure of ere lit therefor will be due Representative John H. Small, of the first North Carolina district. Ever since his initial eutrauce into Congress sev eral years ago. Mi. Small, while striving particularly in behalf of the Norfolk Beaufort link, has tailored indefatigably to impress upon his colleagues in that body Snd upon the country at large the importance and value of connecting up the chain of interior water-ways which nature has provided along the At lantic seaboard from Massachusetts to Florida. To this end he has from the first persistently urged just such concert of action and ef fort which is now assure i as a re sult of the Philadelphia convention of last week. Had his plea l*en heeded when first made, it is a safe statement that the project would now be well on the way towards consummation. When it is con summated there will be credit enough for allj but to the man who first agitated the movement and has for years battled in behalf of the project, alooe and single handed, The Fa Physician The best medicines in the world cannot take the place of the family physician.

A case iu point is the matter of advertising, which today is a thing of necessity iu the business world. If you will notice it you will find that the average business man in periods of dullness ,ind financial depression begins to r etrt'iich in the matter of his ex pense account by curtailing his ad vertising. He does it because his f itlier did it and because he argues that lie can lop it off and restore it ;igain with less inconvenience than he ciiu other expenses.
