Hrlativc Importance of
Savings
I am oft? n asked to outline a plan
for systematic savinus. This is not
an easy tank dimply because
vidual requirement* and tempera
ments differ so will- ly. A few gen
eral principles, hows v?r. can be laid
down.
The first Is that thf matter of life
insurance should be cared for befor*'
anything else Is done. Next f'.?
most people a few shares In a build
ing and loan association operating
locally are v?tv desirable. Both
with lif?' insurance and with building
and loan (saving regularly is prac
tically compulsory. You have to
pay the premium whenever the time
comes around and if you full to pay
your building and loan dues you are
subject to a small fine although
there are some associations which
have plans whereby the amount and
the period of the payments is
optional. For the average man It Is
better that he feel compelled to put
aside tin* sum regularly. Supposing
these methods too have already been
adopted it is next in order to take
thought about securities. Nowadays
so many bond issues are available
in denominations of $100 that there
Is no excuse for those even of small
income not being able to make sound
investments. It is more a matter fit
acquiring a habit than anything else.,
It is surprising to see how much may
sav?d when the attempt Is hori?M*
ly mad*-.
I Of ??r|iial importance to the savin:.
|i f tli?* funds n?-c? ssury to bwv the
H'TiiriliiH is t i ?investing of the i it -
l? r?st or dividends. At 111#* ln-uin
ninu it *e??nis hardly worth while to
; reinvest tproceeds of tin- coupon
ion a $ 1 <)?? bond. Tin amount is too
small. Yet this is very important if
lone is to m;ik?' a start in accumula
tiiiK :i surplus for old age. Probably
tin* b?-st way is to make It an invar
iable rule to deposit tin* proceeds of
!?ach Investment in tin- savings bank
as they come along. this assuming of
course that livinu expi uses are rov*
end ont of weekly earnings. Most
savings banks will accept bond cou
pons or dividend clocks as deposits
thus obviating tin* necessity of hav
ing them checked. Probably you
twill find it possible from time to
jtlnie to makf other deposits when
ever there ar?* any unexpected
receipts such as a bonus from your
employer. In any case the amount
!in the savings bank should be left
i undisturbed at least six months in
order to benefit by the interest the
bank pays. After that time it may
be withdrawn for the purpose of
huging some other security as the
amount saved may warrant. The
interest on tlic new security in turn
should be deposited iu the savings
bank and after a few years progress
will be amazing. A word of warn
ing should be Issued not to begin too
ambitiously. If you do you are apt
to become discouraged and abandon
lh?- whoh- scheme.
DURHAM COUNTY j
CREATED IN 1881

Wake and Orange ("minties

Raleigh. Juno 24.?The act to;
establish and organize Durham,'
County was ratified on February 28. (
1881, said Colonel Fred A. Olds of!
the North Carolina Historical Com-j
mission in discussing the founding of
the counties of the state. The act i
was a lengthy one, he said, and it'
created a county out of parts of
Wake and Orange counties, while it j
was bounded by these counties from,
which it was created and ulso Gran-i
ville. Person and Chatham. I
"The General Assembly named i
Isaac M. Link as commissioner to
survey all the boundaries und to re
port within 30 days," Colonel Olds I
said, and in case he could not makej
the survey. David G. McDuffie wasj
to assume the task."
The Justices of the pence to be ap-i
pointed for the new county were or-'
dered to meet In the town of Durham
on the first Monday in May and to.
select five county commissioners.
The latter were to order the county
election for county officers the first i
Thursday in August, but the sheriff ;
was to be chosen at the May meeting |
by the Justices of the peuce.
"It was provided In the net that j
the county sent should be the town of l
Durham, and at least ah acre and a!
half should be secured there for the
court house and a half acre for the
Jail. The county commissioners
were to erect these buildings.
"Hut there was a proviso, this be
ing that an election should be held
on the second Thursday in April to
decide by vote of the people within
the territory bounded, whether the
new county should or should not be
created. The General Assembly
named the registrar and the pollof
fleers for this election. The vote
was favorable.
"The town and county were named
for Dr. Bartleee Durham. The first
officers were elected In 1882. They
were W. J. Christian, clerk; John C.
Wilkerson. registrar; and J. P.
Blackwell, sheriff. The first repre
senatlve In the General Assembly
wan C. B. Green, in the session of
ItSl.
"The county has furnished an at*
torney-general. He is now serving
the state in that capacity and is
Judge James H. Manning, who was
an associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. The county has also furnished
a State superintendent of Public In
structions, Dr. Eugene C. Brooks,
who Just recently was inauguiated
as president of the North Carolina
State College of Agriculture and En
gineerlng.
