North Carolina has just cause
to be proud of her record as a

the year 1906. Of the thirty

during the year the Old North

for congratulating herself on her

the opera house Thursday night.
January 10th. It is a rural play
in four acts . bound together by
an interesting plot and produced
with special scenery carried by
the company. In the third act
a realistic saw-mill scene is in
troduced, when a real buzz saw
is seen cutting through a real
log at terrific speed upon which
a human being has been help
lessly bound by his enemies and
left to an evident death. There1
is an abundance of comedy, in

There are additional evidences
that Congressman E. Spencer
Blackburn's star is waning fast.
Close upon the heels of his dis
graceful conduct in connection
with his charges against Congressman-elect
Hackett and
Governor Glenn come the re
ports that receivers have been
appointed for The Weekly Tar
Heel, Mr. Blackburn's paper
published at Greensboro, and
tor the Tar Heel Club of the
same city, of which he was chief
cook and bottle-washer. The
average reader will not have to
dig far back into his memory to
recall the palmy days of this
club, which was born not so
many moons ago. It received
4jje endorsement of Republicans
in high places and gained some
notoriety by launching the Can-
, nou presidential boom now rel
egated to the limbo of forgotten
; things. Then too, so press dis
patches from Washington state,
he has failed to file notice of bis
proposod contest for Mr. Hack
ett's seat, the time limit therefor
having expired. "It never rains
but it pours" is an old saying
the truth of which the congress
man from the eighth doubtless
acknowledges now. He has cut
a sorry figure and has disgraced
the State of his nativity.
Insurance Versus Savings
Bank.
In 1875 The Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., of Newark,
N. J., issued Policv No. 82,489,
at age 33, for $10,000 011 the In
payment Life plan, with an an
nual premium for ten years of
$499.70. The Annual Cash
Dividends were applied on the
accelerative endowment plan.
witn the result the Policy
matured in 1900 as an endow
ment at end of twenty-fifth year
(age 58), the Insured receiving
$10,332.47 from an investment of
$4,997.00.
When the policy matured, the
Insured left $10,264 with the
Company and has since re
ceived $482.41 (4.7'r) a year

If at end of twenty-five years,

and contains the vital statistics
for the last month of 1906. Of
the deaths reported by 22 towns
with an aggregate population of
118,600 white and 79.350 ne
groes, making a, grand total of
197,950, there were 283 deaths,
133 of whites and 150 of neeroes.
This shows a temporary annual
death rate of 13 5 per cent for
whites and 22.6 per cent for
negroes. Consumption caused
40 deaths, more than any other
one disease, and it is interesting
to note that of this number
30 or 75 per cent were negroes.
There were two white suicides
and none among the negroes.

There will be eight wards In the
boy city, each one of which will elect

About ten years ago a Mexican col
lector called at the offlco of Uncle Sam
and presented a blU for $20,000,000,
says an El Paso (Tex.) correspondent
ef the St Louis Republic. Upon Uncle
Sam's Inquiring as, to what be owed
Mexico $20,000,000 for, he -waa la
formed that , certain citlzeus of his
country residing In Colorado and New
Mexico ' had Used such quantities of
water from the Illo Grande river that
the Mexican farmers had not been able
to obtain enough water and In conse
quence bad suffered loss and Injury to
the amount of the wn.; .r? .f -rf
, But Uncle Sam Could not see bow lie
should be held responsible for this, and
though the collector called frequently
be could never make Uncle Sam ac
knowledge that what his people did in.
Colorado should be grounds for dam
ages to people in Mexico. Another fea
ture was that If the bill for $20,000,000
was settled, what benefit would the
farmers whose crops had been Injured
by lack of water receive from it? .
The last proposition evidently set
Uncle Sam to thinking and finally, out
of his Yankee shrewdness, he evolved
a scheme which for bw'nees and dip
lomatic finesse Is almost unparalleled.
When the collector called again Uncle
Sam delivered himself somewhat In
this way:
"See here! I absolutely refuse to ac
knowledge that I owe yon $20,000,000.
If I did I would settle It, but I don't
Now, I will make you a proposition,
which is fair, and will repair all the
damage which you claim my people in
Colorado and New Mexico have done
to your people. I will supply free of
charge to the farmers In Mexico, whose
crops you say are ruined, 60,000 acre
feet of water in other words, enough
water to Irrigate 00,000 acres of land
if you will receipt that bill or throw It
away, I don't care which, just so you
do not cjui on me again for money."
The bill collector, or, rather, the min
ister, reported the proposition to the
Mexican government and as the offer
was more than generous, It was ne:
cepted. The only question was how
waa It to be done, but Uncle Sam had
planned that out
Sixty miles north of El Paso, In New
Mexico, the Rio Grande flows through
a deep canyon, sometimes as a mere
trickle of water and again as a mighty
flood, almost filling the canyon. To
build a dam at the end of this canyon
and thereby snake a lake forty miles
long and twelve miles wide was a sim
ple proposition an 1 required an ex
penditure of only $7,200,000. But. even
more, the country around Eagle near
where the dam is to be built needs wa
ter badly. '
" Therefore the dam is to be built big
enough and strong enough to bold as a
reservoir most of the water sent down
In flood time, not preventing Jn the
least the usual flow of the river, but to
supply enough water to Irrigate 180,000
acres of land in New Mexico and Tex
as, as well ns furnish abundance for
the 00,000 acres In Mexico.
The expenditure of $7,200,000 to sat
isfy a $20,000,000 claim would strike
the average business man as a fairly
good stroke of business, but Uncle Sam
had planned deeper than that
The 100,000 acres In New Mexico and
Colorado, well Irrigated, wll bring
rorth abundant crops, and ' farmers
would lose no time In taking advan
tage of the opportunity of securing this
land, especially wheu the government
was behind the Irrigating privilege,
Therefore (he farmers have been noti
fied, that for the first ten years they
will be required to pay $4 a year an
acre for water, after which the water
would be supplied to them free. -
It Is evident that If $4 a year be paid
npon each acre for 180.000 acres for
ten years the total will .be $7,200,
00 and that Uncle Sam will recover
all of the money which he expended In
making the dam build up many pros
perous farms, satisfy Mexico and not
lose a cent on the transaction. V;
It 1 proposed (bat this dam shall be
completed in five years. Bids have
been received at Washington for the
preliminary work, costing $200,000. for
the diversion of the river by means of
a canal In order that the dam may be
built with the least possible delay.
The canal will be dug near Leasburg,
N. M., and will be big enough to allow
the river ample room for all the water
It brings down.
In connection with this deal of Uncle
Sam's It should be borne In mind that
the flow of water which ordinarily
courses down the bed of the Bio
Grande will be rather Increased than
diminished, as the dam will be con
structed with gates to allow a steady
current but the lake will hold In re
serve much of the flood water, .which
heretofore swept everything, before It
and disappeared In a short while, leav
ing the river In that, section of the
country but a pitiful brook, exasperat
ing! Inadequate to the farmers' needs.
