"The corpor ation pays for the cost of organize- tion, books and supplies, expense of charter . and sends - a representatlTe to open and teach the management . tav lo ADtritt tW vat em. Everv Morris Plan company has ' been " or ganized in this manner. , : ; A concrete example of the. opera tion of the Morris Plan Is as follows: A salaried employee faces an Imme diate need of $100 due perhaps to a birth, illness or death in the family, lie applies for a loan at several banks of discount, and is naturally told by tbe officers of each that they are not engaged in the small loan business. They note that he la not a depositor, i and in no way under obligations to ' him, and know full well that his fi nancial condition will probably not improve sufficiently in tnree or six. months to warrant the payment of khis note at maturity. This refusal of accommodation does not tenr to im prove his peace of mind or the qual- k Ity of his cltixenship. v Me cannot borrow from a savings bank. Usual- v ly he approaches a friend and enters into an unbuslness-like arrangement , or. he applies to "loan shark" with the inevitable result. ' If he makes his needs known to a Morris Plan company be is told by the manager that he ia welcome, and . that he need not feel beholden to .the company because it is its business , to afford him the accommodation he seeks, v He makes formal application for a loan of f 100. and secures two ; endorsers of good character on hts note. When his application Is inves tigated he 'Is found to have a fixed income, enabling him to pay there- irom, in easy installments nis odii gatlon when due. He and his en- ' doners sign a note for $100 and he receives that amount, leas the legal rate of interest for one year. Just ' as the borrower of f 100,000 at a commercial bank Is required to main- lain a oaiance 01 irom szvvvv 10 $23,04)0 on deposit, without Interest, during the term of the discount, so the borrower on tbe Morris Plan is required to make weekly payments la the purchase - of a certificate, whieh may, at his option, operate to liquidate his liability to the compa ny. At tbe end of 60 . weeks these payments aggregate the amount of the loan, ilia note falls due two weeks later and his accumulated . funds may be applied to its payment Clear of debt, he leaves the institu tion a self-respecting citizen. - The variations of the Morris Plan render it applicable to almost all conditions. , It has been used prac tically as a collection -, agent, the creditors becoming endorsers In ef fecting payment of a debt whicn could not otherwise be met. It is of economic value to large corporations. : the efficiency of whose employees has been impaired by the burden of debt, tit enables insurance premi ums, taxes, and other fixed require ments to be met with ease. .lt Is a - great relief to commercial banks, en abling them to meet "the needs ' of many worthy applicants for : small loans, by referring them to a reliable 'Institution especially designed for the purpose. - - 7 . Tbe patron of a Morris Plan com pany is not a recipient or charity, He has the satisfaction of knowing tbat bis transactions are on a strict ly business basis, entailing no loss of elf-respect. The Morris Plan helps people to help' themselves. - A Mor ris Plan company makes 1 no invest ments except in loans. Its profits are made by loaning Its capital at the legal rate of interest, reloanlng the aggregate funds resulting from inter est paid in advance on loans, and tor Iocs! application aa tary cm not reach the rttei (! fwrUoa of tba ear.

J. ;i CO, Totado, a' i 1 M U and agesC Bed Blankets, generally, C M. Hedden Suit Made-to-MeaYure for M weekly ' payments. Operating with maximum efficiency. ' a company when well established, should loan every year two and one-half times the amount of its capital, at a cost of operation not to exceed 3 per cent of the loans made. It should,' after deducting operating expense, earn 10 per cent at least. . The Salisbury Morris Plan Com pany was organized May 3, 1915, with a capital of $40,000. It loaned the first 13 months $113,000. This was caused by many of its borrow ers anticipating their loans and no rebates were allowed. This compa ny made 15 per cent net . the first year, paid a dividend of 6 per cent on -the par. value of the stock and passed 9 per cent to surplus. It In creased the caultal stock from $40, 000 to 150,000 and sold this increase at $120. It is the policy ofthe Mor ris Plan system to pay not over 6 per cent on the book value of the stock, and in that way the dividends are accumulative. Morris plan stock Is taxable only as a building and loan association, listed and paid at tbe source., There is no double liability on the Morris Plan stock because it does not do a banking business. Losses have been so small they are hard to compute. A discount committee composed of three members of the board of direc tors passes on all applications tor loans, and there is no reason why a bad loan should be made. I have just, returned from New York City, where I attended a con vention of Morris Plan - companies now in operation in the United States. Fifty-three companies were represented from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This convention was held in the Hotel Astor, and the delegates were guests of the Industrial Finance Corporation. It is proposed to organize a Morris Plan company in the city of Gasto nia. with a minimum capital of $50,- 000.. Tbe Industrial Finance Cor poration has agreed through the pre liminary contract to subscribe for 25 per cent of this amount. This capi Ul stock of $50,000 will be divided into 500 shares of the par value of $100 per share, and will be sold at $110 per share to create the surplus to cover the cost of organization and installation. Tbe Industrial Finance Corporation pays the same price for this stock as any other subscriber v The cost of operating a Morris Plan company is very small compar ed with most organizations. In some institutions, one competent person does all the Inside work, keeping tbe books. Interviewing applicants for loans and making collections, and at the same time looks after some oth er line of business. Tbe secretary- treasurer of the . Salisbury Morris Plan Company is secretary of a build- ing and loan association, and is also city clerk. He performed all these duties for the first year, but now has an assistant. . It Is necessary that a Morris Plan company In the South have its place or business on the ground noor. the people have not been educated to climb, stairs or take elevators to transact this kind of business. A Morris Plan company will be whatever you make it. Every bank er, manufacturer, merchant and pro fessional man should be a stockhold- RHEUHM1SM AFTER . .

It was a dismal rainy day, and long ex posure to cold and wet brought -on a severe attack of rheumatism. - He was confined to his home. A - ' friend recommended Sloan's Liniment, citing his own case as evi dence of its effectiveness. Mullen bought a bottle and applied it to his aching; limbs. Soon improvement was noticed and he was able to re turn to business. - Mr. Mullen writes: - - "Since that experience I have' never been with out Sloan's Liniment in the medi cine chest."

Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina Held in Salisbury October 34, 23, 2ft Gastonia Itelegates Returned Home 1 Spent One Afternoon -at Barium Spring Orphanage Nearly Million and a Half Dollars Given to Furtherance of Chrlbtlan Education Great Progress Has Been Made. Gastonla delegates and ministers to the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina, which was held at Salis bury, returned to the city the last of the week. The synod was formal ly opened last Tuesday morning, the retiring moderator," Dr. Walter L. Iingle, of Richmond, Va., preaching tbe first sermoir-and presiding over the meeting. The second day's session was feat ured by a visit of the entire synod to the Barium Springs Orphanage, where - an afternoon was spent in visiting the children and home. Special emphasis was devot ed to the discussion of Home and Foreign missions at Tuesday and Wednesday night sessions. ; Thursday's session was spent al- most entirely In the discussion of the report of the committee on Christian Education. This report was featured by the recommendation that the synod raise $1,350,000 in carrying out this work. An effort was made at - first to have this a mount changed to one million dollars but was unanimously voted down. This money will be apportioned a mong the institutions of. the 'synod Davidson, Union Seminary and a number of other schools for boys and girls. Facts and figures submitted by Rev. A. W. Crawford, superintend ent, showed that much progress was being made by the church through out the State. Rev. William Black, one of the most successful evangel Ists in the synod, also made a presen tatlon of the work and urged the larger support due the work. He paid a high tribute to the men engag ed In this field and predicted greater things in the future. The report of Rev. A. W. Crawford showed the fot lowing figures: 39 evangelists, oc cupying 33 fields, in which they sup plied $4 weak churches and 44 mis sion .stations, witnessing 2,66? pro fessions of faith, and receiving 1.0 II converts into the ' Presbyterian church. They organized 19 . Sunday schools and seven churches and built churches. Two . thousand five hundred dollars was raised for : the support of the work, while the syn od's contribution was over $13,000. ine ionowing uasiomans were iu attendance at the synod: - First Presbyterian church. Rev. J.. H. Hen- derllte, pastor, and Mr. J. H. Kenne dy, - elder: Loray Presbyterian church, Rev. W, it- Roach, pastor. and '. ' - . - a CONQUERS RHHMATiSa -IN A VERY FEW DATS It is an established fact that one- half teaspoonful of Rheum a taken once a day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last five years. Powerful and sure: quick acting. yet harmless; Rheuma gives blessed relief all at once. The magic name has reached every hamlet in the land and there is hardly a druggist any where who cannot tell you of almost marvelous cures. If you are tortured with rheuma tism or sciatica, you can get a bottle of 'Rhevma from J. H. Kennedy at Co. or any druggist for - not more than 50 cents, with the understand ing that if it does not completely drive rheumaUc poisons from your system money back. 31N-7 g - m " A tl Iff I t VJVV II -T-r.

Miss Hettie Jane Dunaway . de lighted a packed house at the Cen tral school auditorium last.. Friday mgnt in "Just Plain Judy," the first of a series , of lyceum attractions which are being given under the auspices of the library committee of tbe Gastonla Woman's Betterment Association. Rev. J. H. Henderllte opened the attraction with a short talk of Introduction on behalf of the committee, and then presented Miss uunaway. . ' In the rendition of "Jus( Plain Judy" Miss Dunaway scored a decid ed success and her presentation of the several roles was excellent. She read the roles with such naturalness that they seemed less an art than re-creation. The characters of the plays seemed to live and she has sup plemented the accepted rules of plat form reading with her own method of expression. Miss Dunaway has beauty, vivacity and a smile that is as contagious as it Is winning. Gas tonlans should congratulate the com mittee on bringing to this city as the first attraction such an excellent and decidedly interesting number. The attendance en Friday night was all that could be asked and Miss Lottie Blake states that It was even better than had been expected. The ticket sales outside of the season tickets already sold amounted to $26.75, "UNDINE" TOLL PROVE FEATURE Popular Photoplay to be Presented at the Ideal Theatre on November 2, Proves to be Unusually Good More Lavish Than Neptune's ifaugnter. Assuredly "Undine," which will j be presented at the Ideal Theatre next Thursday, November 2nd, will prove one of the photoplay sensations of the year. While "Undine" ia sim ilar to "Neptune's Daughter" it Is presented in a more lavish manner; This beautiful fairy story has been adapted tor the screen with all the charm and romance of the delightful tale retained. No production in the field of tho- silent drama has ever been presented whieh equals In piqu ancy and beauty this remarkable film version of an old fairy tale. A Secret Ballot.
