bLIDTC "R. BOXT, Ed. avx Fttor - w'EDNESDA.Y, JAN 14.1903. A SMALb DEFICIT. Dunag the last campaign the Republicans cendemned tht Democratio patty for extravagance as they termed the care of the deaf, dtimb and blind, the provi sion for the old soldiers and the education of the children and alleged that there mat an enorm ous deficit in the State, Treasury and that the deficit would exceed one-half million dollart by the end of the fiscal year. The Star defended the Demo cratio State administration and proved to the satisfaction of rea sonable men that there had been no extravagance on the part of the Democrats and showed, further morn, that had it not bsen for the money squandered by the fusion- ists tnere would nave been no de ficit, but on the other hand a com fortable balance in the State Trea sury. We alio demonstrated that the deficit was nothing like so grest as charged, and stated that it would not exceed $17,000 by the end of the fiscal year. How well we have been sustained by the facts is shown bv a reference to the report of State Treasurer B. R. Lacy, which has just baen made to the Governor and transmitted to th LHislatur. We make the following extract from that official documeut : UNPAID APPROPRIATIONS. Th receipts beiug less than the dislurnieiitf, the foil' wiug ap propriations, in the main for build ing purpoing, are unpaid : State's Hospital , Golds boro $30,000.00 Tbe 8tate's Hospital, Morgantou 43,400.00 N. C. Institution tor Deaf, Dumb aud Bhud 10,000.00 8tae Guard 8,500 00 STate Normal aud Industrial Ollg, Greensboro 5,000.00 Statu Geol -gical Survey 5,000 00 laveriityof N'rth Crohn a6.500 00 To. due appropriations $108,499.00 Borrowed from National Park Bank New York City, for Schools and Hospitals 200,000 00 Interest due Mark 19, 1903, of this loan 9,000.00 Total Less available balance $317,400.00 30,213 59 Total nt deficit $287,186.41 It will be seen by a reference to the above that instead of a dsficit of half million dollars, that the actual amount of the nt deficit is only $287,186 41, and this includes the $200,000 borrowed by Treasur er Lacy also the interest on same. Remember The Stab assured the pubiic that the deficit woild not exceed $3' 7,000, and it lacked nearly $30,000 of reaching that amouDt! You can always rely with tbe utmost confidence upon our statement of facts, for it shall never be our purpose to deceive tho pe:pl. The present revenue laBt, if left unchanged by the Legislature ex cept as to minor details, w;ll raise ample revenue for the support of tie State government in the future and meet all tbe appropiations made for the care of the State's every interest. Thk appointment of committees in the Senate was announced last Thursday and tbe Senators from our district have particularly strong committee assignments, thus evidencing the prominent stand thev are takiDg in shaping legislation. Senator T. T. Ballen ger is a member of the committee on Insurance, Agriculture, Insane Asylums, Pensions and Soldiers Home, aud Mining. Senator Clyde R. Hoey is chairman of the com mittee on Counties, Cities and Towns, one of the leading Senate committee, 'and a member of the following committees : Judiciary, Privileges and Election!, Military Affairs. Insurance, Engrossed Bills, Constitutional Amendment. Appropriations, Congressional Ap portion meut, and the Joint com mittess on Printing and Trustees of the State University The House committees have not been announced in full as yet. What steps will be takea in re ference to securing good roads for Cleveland county? The Good Roads Association should nave a bill pr spared specially for Cleve land county and let it be passed at the present session of the Legisla ture giving the people a vote on the question. This bill should provide for voting by townships with a provision that all the money paid by a township shall be ex pended on the roade of that town ship. About April 1st will be a good time for the election. Thkbb is every; reason to believe that Senator Arthur Poe Gorman, of Maryland, will be seriously in the running for the Democratio presidential nomination next year. Not the least indication of this is the faot that Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, it supporting him. Polk county is achieving aotor- iety. She ' went t Democratio n November and since then a good prospect .hat developed for finding oil in that hitherto Republican county. She elected to the Legii lature James P. Morris, who has the distinction of being the first Democrat elected to the Legisla ture from that county since 1876, and the member that year, Mr. Simpson, was the first Democrat since the Civil War. In Senator Balleneer. Polk county has her first Senator of any political party Whin we get a good road law for Cleveland county it will pay to work our convicts on the public roads and it will be , done The News & Observer says: "Meck lenburg county now, hat 118 miles of geod macadamized roads, and is contemplating the immediate construction of 110 miles more. No wonder tnis gooa county is progressing so rapidly in the ma terial and substantial wealth of its people." Her Last Rmtrk, Detroit Free Press, He had come as she had told him to, with all the letters she had ever written to him, and he had placed them on the table be fore her. She had his letters put in a neat bundle and tied with a blue ribbon. There was the engage ment ring, too; it pained her ex cessively to hand that back to hirn. for it was a b3itftiful one. The stone was a flawless gem. All the girls had admired it, and many had envied her possession of it. But, of course, she could not keep it since she was not to be his wife. Some girls might keep engagement rings after they had been broken with the giver, but Irene McGilhcudy was not one of them. She gave it bacn. There was some other trifles, too a few odd trinkets that he had given her from time to time since they had plighted their troth. They were made into a neat little package. The dia mond ring occupied a little box by itself, as befitted its splendid significance. Mechanically he pat the articles into his pocket and then rose to take his leave. "Good evening and good-bye, Miss McGillicuddy," he said. He spoke in a shaky, moist voice. "Good-bye, Mr. Thornton she said. Her voice was moister and more shaky. Then he ought to have gone but he did not. He stood a mo ment, and then said: "So this is the end?" She nodded. She could not trust her voice "The eud of all our sweet dreams of happiness that we have dreamed in the past three months?" "The end." assented she. He put his hand on the door knob and turned it. She gave a little choaking cough. He haultad. "Mr. Thornton George," she said. "Well?" ( "Haven't you forgotten some thing?" He surveyed the table. He had gathered ewvr-fything up. "What have i forgotten?" he asked. "Aren't you aren't you going to to kiss me good bye." A Reflection on Canadian Cooks. Baltimore Sun. Our Canadian friends seem to be very sensitive about their cookine. and recent American criticises of their culinary skill. The State department at Wash ington has received recently a complaint from the proprietor of a hotel at Montreal, who takes exceptions to some statements made by the United States Con sul General at that interesting Canadian city- The Consul Gen eral while on a visit to his home in Missouri, asserted emphati cally that what the Montreal ho tol cooks do not know about pre paring meats for the table would fill a mammoth volume. The Canadian Boniface protests against this sweeping reflection upon the capability of his cooks, and apparently desires Secretary Hav to discipline the plain spoken Consul-General. There is no probability that the State Department will take any action in the matter. If the Montreal hotel keeper possessed even the tiniest sense of humor he would never have filed such a com plaint with Secretary Hay. In the United btates it is every man's privilege to say whether his food is properly prepared. Not only does this privilege per mit him to say harsh things about a hotel, but it extends even to the domestic circle. A coun try in which a man may, without reproach, say cruel things about his wife's biscuit and his mother in-law's plea will not feel like censuring a Consul-General who indulges in a severe criticism of hotel cookery.

Toronto Star. "Help me to catch him, mis ter." said the small boy, as he dashed by in panting pursuit of his juvenile enemy. "Keep your mouth shut, aud you'll catch him," advised the man, and the boy understood in an instant, and, understanding, closed his mouth and ran on, easily running down tho object of his pursuit, who had been running open-mouthed; and was soon doubled up with a stitch in his side. There is a good deal in keep ing your mouth shut. There are more people in the world who never open a mouth without putting a, foot iu it than you have any idea of. You may be a fool, but if you keep your nfouth shut who's to know it ? Generally you can size up the fellows who gets there, are get ting there, or have got there, by the way their lower jaw hangs. You may occasionally see a wise man wandering around with his rnouth open, but not as a usual thing, It's what people say and drink chiefly that causes them to ap pear before the police magis trate. If they had kept their mouth shut they would not have said it or drunk it. More foolish fish are caught with hooks in the mouth than through the tail. The fellow who goes around with his mouth open may catch a few flies in the aperture, but he isn't likely to catch anything very valuable that way. It's the fellow who sets his teeth, and consequently shuts his mouth, who gets there. For Boysto ThlnK About. Religious Telescope, It is easier to keep out of jail than to break out, provided you begin in time. It is easier to avoid forming a bad habit than it is to break away from a bad habit. The dollar you earn and spend is only a dollar; the dollar you earn and save is two dollars. He who makes it a rule always to earn his dollar before h spsnds it. will never be a btggar or a slave to debt. It is easier to avoid beginning to tamper with tobacco aud strong drink than it is to free yourself from the appetite if it once be ac quired. Poverty may keep a boy down for a time, bnt if he has in him the true mettle he will rise. Jay Gould was a povorty-stricken tur veyor. George W.

Preacher Arrested In the PulDtt for Selling Whiskey. LouiSTille, Ky Dispatch, 3d, Dragged from the pulpit and placed under arrest was what befell the Kev. W. K. Cassada, a mountain evangelist, at Mount Zion Baptist church, near Som erset today. Deputy United States Marshal J. A. Coleman went to the church with a war rant, charging Cassada with sell ing whiskey without a license. Tapping the minister on the shoulder the omcer demanded him to surrender, just as the preacher was announcing the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." At the time of the minister's arrest there were nine persons at the altar. Thirten had just been converted. We are glad to note that Dr. V. J.

The day i the Senate was eventful becaaie of a nota- Kl inaooh hv Monitor Hoar on MS Dill regulating trusts and the attacs ny Senator Vest oa protected industries through the operation of the Dingley law. Senator Hoar's ntterances were list ened to with marked attention. He said that nearly all thoughtful men in this country are agrsed that some legisla tion, State or Normal ought to be had for the regulation and control of what are called "trusts" and of large masses of capital accumulated by corporations or artifical persons holding property and conducting business without indi- Tidual liability. There was, he said, a general feeling of insecurity and alarr aKnnt Via matter and nftnnlfl wre'',l nwwuv h.hhv. r ing with a real peril and not witt- -fancied or imaginary danger. He a i ed that if his bill should become law aud prove effectire no corporation engaging in the commerce which is within the iurisdiction of Corgress can keep its condition a secret. The Senator discussed the effect of the control of yast wealth by individu als, sayinr "ist in such a system tnere was much threaten Republican libar ty. Most ( the vast fortunes of the present day had been accumulated within thirty years. "Is anything to render it unlikely," he asked, "as these vast fortunps haye grown from 100,000 to $100,000,000 in thirty years, that in the hand of the next possessor in an other thirty or fifty years the hundred million may become a hundred thou sand million or the thousand miiliffn a thousand thousand million. But, great as were the possibilities of the accumu lation of great wealth by individuals, ha did not find in such accumulation the same period that is found in corpora tion control of such Trealtn. This was true, he said, because naturally the old man dies and his estate is distributed under the law, wiile the corporation lives for ever. "It never goe through tho probate court," he said. "Its inter nal transactions are kept secret. It is not zealous for its own honor or repu tation, except so far as its honor or reputation ia essential to its getting money. It has no soul and no con science. In general, the men who are moit powerful in its management can, if they ee lit, avoid responsibility to public opinion. They al ways.expect to avoid peraoml liability for obligations." Speaking of corporations, Mr Hoar said no power lfas than that of the en tire nation is capaole of dealing with them. The question wai the most im portant that had come up fo- a long time, "for," said he ' we are to deal not only with foreign commerce, but with that compared wiUi which the foreign commerce of the world is but a drop in the bucket tbe domestic commerce of the United States." A PATHETIC l'lCTl-KB Senator Vest used as a text for his remarks his resolution introduced yes terday, inviting the Committee on finance to prepare and report a bill re moving the duty on coal. Feeble in the extreme and supporting himself on his desk, he called attention to the condi tion of distress which had arisen as a result of the shortage in the coal supply There was a breathless silence in the chamber as he spoke, and every Senator on the floor turned in his direction in order to catch his words. lie said that the question was no longer a partisan one, but one of humanity, and that we are not on th verge of a crisis, but actually in it. He charged the Republi can Senators with being dumb to the state of affairs, having only in mind the party cry "stand pat." He cbarao terized the Dingley Tariff act as i "sacred elephant" with which nothing was to be done. He sarcastically re marked that if the whole question wa one of raising money for the political campaign it was not bis decision. He criticised the Dingly Tariff Law,- and said there was no more chance to day, in his judgment, to reduce a single duty in the Dingley act than for him to carry off the Capitol building on his shoulders. A tariff which is open, was "an independent mutuality agree ment." A protected industry, he said, was like a brood of English sparrows when they give a cry others dash to its rescue.

The farmer who makes the most above cost is the one who is the most successful. The far mer who spends $80 on two acres of tobacco in order to make $80 is no better off than the one who spends $40 on one acre and makes 40. This tne lesson mat we must all learn. If every far mer in the State would adopt tbe intensive method of farming it would be one of the greatest blessings that would be bestowed upon North Carolina. Fewer. acres, more dollars; more acres, fewer dollars. Correction Mr. Editor Please insert the following in this weeks issue of The Star.

Ccurtesy and promptness in waiting on cusiomwra i ex acted from our salespeople at all lorce is aiso wormy oi nonce. tYeuireuu mumunuij wmf-u. salesmen and saleswomen; those who have a practical knowledge of the goods they are called on to sell and can giro customers intaUfu gent and reliable information regarding them. All our clerks ate also carefully instructed to never indulge in exaggeration overiai ment in trying to sell, und to never try to force people to buy what thny do not wish to. We want people to buy onr goods on their merits or not at all. If any one any article purchased hare when willing but glad that they should returned to them We would lather rrf und tne purcnase twice over than have any person leel that they had been talked into buyinz something they did not really want. And we want you to mirk this, that whatever our clerks say arout our gooas is sincere anu eir nestlv meant. They are behind the scenes so to speak. They kuo just what wonderful valnes we give. They are zealous and entnusi- astic, animated with an earnest trading that is born of their knowledge ot the great money saving transactions we are constantly carrying ."out. We speak of these little things on the pleasure, comfort and advantage of trading at our store. We have (he largest and most jrondertul stocK or goods in mis part or North Carolina. Through our enormous buying facilities, w ar able to sell goods of all classes at for many miles around. These Stores the natural trading centres vou beHeve they would flock here if our stores were 6lovenly and unattractive and our clerks surly anl unobliging? These are stores that people like to trade at. . Ihey are made to feel at home. from the moment they cross the threshold. They find themselves in a pleasant, eibie paind ia taken to look atlv their comtort and convenience while thev do their shopping. And that is one of the reasons why tiiOB' eands ol people throughout this any where else save at one of our The Henrietta Stores Never Alter the nohdav trade is over, many stores go into a sort uf state of liberation. No effort is Dust and cobwebs gather on the goods, while j the proprietor ail clerks sit around the stove and smo'ce and doze and read. But do you suppose the Henrietta Mills Stoies ever go to sleep in that fash ion. Do you suppose we recognize the existence of anv l:dnll sea- son?" Do you suppose we relax our efforts now that the supposed!; dull months are here and sit down and twirl our thumbs! Not for t single minute. We have the best recipe in the world for counteract ing dnllness. Its to make dep cuts in the prices ot all sorts if thing and let the people know about it far and wide through our ad vertisements. For the next three months we are going to make bus iness hum by giving the very best bargains ot the whole year. 11 isn't a question of p'ofit or money making. It's a question of keep ing goods moving; and keeping up the reputation of these stores fx life and energy and hustle. And so we want you to read these ii of ours carefully every week They are goinz to be full of wonder ful price surprises, There aro goins to be special sales here that2 be just as comprehensive nd important a? those we have held dor ing the past three monthi. There isn't going to be any let up in out vigorous, far-reaching bargain campaign. We give a few imperii prices this week, culled from several departments. We shall more of them next eek, and more the week after and more still the week after that. If voc expect to spend one single penny this win ter on anything man. woman or child can wear, these ads will ba 4 the utmost interest and importance to yon. A BROKE BATTLE.
