MEN'S LIVES NARROWER. 
E. C. T. T. S. NOTES 
Concentration Prevents the Fullest 
Enjoyment 
Sometimes I think men have very 
much less capacity for large living 
than women, says J. Ridgway, 
In the for November. Men 
concentrate better, perhaps, but the 
effect is not all 
Men live one at a time. In early 
manhood they live in the 
life of dreams, visions, hopes, 
In middle age they live in the 
present. Concentrating on their life 
work. Making a record. Cashing In 
only dreams. Little time for 
In old age they live mostly in 
the past. Timid, in their waning 
power, they essay no mighty deeds, 
but dream over the dreams and fight 
over the fights of their splendid days. 
Is it not so 
How different from a woman's life 
or it seems to me. If I have ob-. 
served truly, women live their lives 
from young womanhood to the 
finis. Every day is all-round, 
complete and lived to the limit. No 
day passes without its troll the 
past, 
So sad, so sweet, 
The days that are no more. 
No day passes without Its dreams for 
other days to be And each passing 
day, however, active in the tasks of 
every every hour of every 
passing a woman's life it 
seems to m-, the heart life, the life of 
sentiment, keeps step with the mind 
life and the body life. 
What a pity men cannot live this 
threefold life What a pity for the 
men But especially, what a pity for 
the women How often must women 
be hurt by the apparent hardness or 
indifference or forgetful mates 
Many times I have seen the pain in 
the eyes of uncared-for women in the 
presence of the rare and rarely-cared- 
for women. And how a man robs 
himself when he no longer shows how 
much he really cares For men do 
care. No man barter his wife 
for honor and riches is compelled to 
choose. He believes he can have her 
and them. He believes she will en- 
joy them too. He feels that she is 
part of him, that they are one. Of 
course they are not if he is going to 
take it for granted. 
PEACE MAKER KILLED. 
First Anniversary New 
W. C. A. Organized 
On the morning of October 5th, the 
first anniversary of the opening of 
the school, appropriate exercises were 
held in the assembly hall. Prof. W. 
H. who was influential in 
establishing the school, spoke on 
Growth of Education in Eastern North 
comparing the schools of 
Pitt county of ten years ago, with 
those of today. The of East 
Carolina Training 
ex-Gov. T. J. Jarvis, gave a history 
of the establishment of the school. 
In little more than two years 
the ground was broken, six buildings 
had been erected and a years 
work completed. 
Miss May until recently one 
of the supervisors of public school 
music in the Baltimore schools, has 
accepted the position of director of

Wis., a training school for do- 
science and manual training 
of teachers. She has been teaching 
in the Louisiana Industrial school, at 
La. 
We sincerely regret to lose Mrs. 
Ogden. Her work has been of a high 
order. She will return to her home 
in Delaware. 
The Y. W. C. A opened with bright 
prospects. Many of the old members 
are back and are bending every effort 
to get every new student to join the 
association. On evening of Oct. 
3rd, an impressive installation 
vice was held. Forty-five new

Ben Gray Shot While to Stop 
a Fight. 
On the evening of October 10th, on 
the J. A. James farm, in Bethel town- 
ship, Bullock killed Ben 
Gray. Bullock and Cornelius Best 
had some trouble, Gray trying 
o keep them from fighting. It seem- 
ed that the fuss was about Mr. 
and Best renewed the fuss when 
Gray tried to stop it again and in the 
attempt by Best to strike Bullock. 
Bullock drew his pistol and after 
snapping several times it fired, the 
ball hitting Gray in the back. He 
lived about ten minutes. Bullock

STOMACH FEELS FINE. 
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. 
Suit for 
A big suit is on here now and being 
tried in the office of Messrs. Lucas 
Spruill in this city, it being an action 
against Messrs. J. G. White Com- 
big railroad contractors, to re- 
cover alleged to be due 
Messrs. Good, Hart Co., 
ors. 
It will be remembered Messrs 
Good, Hart were the first 
sub-contractors and threw the first 
dirt here on the new road. They 
brought a lot of Italians with them, 
but these soon tired of the Job and re- 
turned north. Their part of the con- 
tract was completed with labor ob- 
in this locality. 
The road wont in the hands of a. 
receiver, and Messrs. J. G. White 
Company at that time alleged they 
could not pay their sub-contractors 
because they had been unable to col- 
from the road by virtue of the re- 
and its inability to pay. 
Whether Messrs. J. G. White Com- 
ever received the entire amount 
of their claim against the Norfolk 
Southern, we are unable to say, but 
Good, Hart Company claim they 
did not settle with them and are there- 
fore to recover. 
Mr. L. R. of Kinston, is the 
referee, and the plaintiff is represent- 
ed by Messrs. Finch, and the 
defendants by Messrs Lucas Spruill.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. 
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some 
People Know How 
to Save It. 
Many people take their 
lives in their hands by neglecting the 
kidneys when they know or- 
need help. Sick are re- 
for a vast amount of suffer- 
and ill health, but there Is no 
need to suffer nor to remain in 
when all diseases and aches and 
pains due to weak kidneys can be 
quickly and permanently cured by the 
use of Kidney Pills. The fol- 
lowing statement leaves no ground 
for doubt. 
Mrs S. A. Simmons. Heritage

Kidney Pills to be an effective 
remedy for trouble and head-

In The Cotton Belt. 
The New Orleans Picayune reports 
in its weekly review of the weather 
and the crops, that owing to the ad- 
lateness of the cotton crop all 
over the belt, the weather situation 
has become more than ever important 
for so late a period in the season. 
The unusually warm and summery 
weather during September 
did a great deal towards pushing 
ahead the latest portion of the crop 
and the cooler weather of the past 
week, unaccompanied by frost, will 
no doubt help rapid maturing. There 
was a fair amount of rain in the belt 
during the past seven days, and in 
some districts the rainfall was ex-

reek has developed practically the

where near the frost point, and, of 
course no harm was done. Owing to 
the lateness of the crop, the date of 
the first killing frost becomes of 
common importance. A late frost 
would add materially to the yield, 
while an early frost would be 
to backward cotton. So far the

The Church and Advertising 
The church as much as anything 
requires publicity in order to 
its best aims, to win 
in the world. 
There has prevailed, and is in 
much less degree today, a 
that the church in 
its merits as a place for people 
to attend, was transgressing upon 
its sanctity. Never was graver 
for the Master's instructions 
to His followers was publicity to 
the world, and it was when the 
church fell into more or less 
failed to avail itself of means 
to attract, that it lost its force to 
bring man within its walls. The 
church notice of services, day, hour 
and place, has brought in many a 
man, who would not have 
gone to a religious service The 
publication of a song service, of some 
distinguished singer, or quartet, of- 
ten a sacred instrumental concert 
has brought in men and women who 
would not have come, it they had not 
been thus publicly attracted. 
The voice from the pulpit will fail 
in large measure, unless there the 
outside notice calling attention to 
the pulpit has to declare to a 
starving multitude, hungry for divine 
food. It is the church publicity, its 
advertising that brings in those who 
nay come to scoff, but finding that 
the church is honest and sincere in

CHILD PAINFULLY HURT. 
Little Dull Falls Out of 
Buggy. 
Wednesday afternoon little Hay- 
wood son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. 
was painfully hurt by fall- 
out of a buggy. Mr. and Mrs. 
were getting ready to go to 
Wilson, and the colored nurse took 
the child out for a drive in the buggy. 
She was chiving along Dickinson av 
and in making too short a 
turn around a corner the child 
thrown out of the buggy on the paved 
street. It received a painful cut 
the forehead and was badly bruised 
about the body. Whether the cut was 
made by striking the tire of the 
buggy wheel or the stone curbing to 
the is not known. Several 
stitches had to be taken to get the 
wound together. Mr. and Mrs. 
learned of the accident in time to 
abandon their contemplated trip. 
The little boy is getting along as well 
as could be expected. 
TIME FOR MEN TO CHANGE. 
Day of Atonement. 
The Jewish festival, the Day o 
Atonement, the holiest 
day in the Jewish calendar, falL 
this year on the 13th day of October 
The Hebrew date is the 10th 
The festival ordained In 
Leviticus XVI 29-34 and 20- 
In both passages it is styled

The purpose of the Day of Atone- 
is clearly Indicated by its name. 
It is intended complete and crown 
the work of the penitential season, 
begun on the first day of 
by reconciling the soul 
with the Almighty. Implicitly trust- 
in the Divine forgiveness, the 
Israelite believes that his contrition, 
if it be really sincere, will atone for 
him, will make him once 
more with his Heavenly Father. The 
day, then is devoted to a supreme 
effort of patience, to a mighty en- 
after communion with the 
Almighty. It is spent in prayer and 
meditation. 
It is kept, too, as a fast, in 
to the command given in each 
of the two passages above cited 
where the expression his 
must be understood, as it is 
throughout the Bible, as synonymous 
With fasting 
The chief, the real aim of the Day 
of Atonement is the reformed life. 
All the external elements of the day's 
worship and 
intended to promote this 
supreme progress. They cannot do 
duty for it. The act of fasting is 
partly to serve as a self composed 
chastisement, and partly it has a re- 
flex influence. For hunger and 
weakness tell upon the conscience; 
they mortify pride, break down ob- 
cast men down before God in 
humility and contrition. But fasting 
does even more than that. Taking

In brief, the split-log drag is not a

is, its best use is in surfacing and

Will Hold Meeting in Greenville, Be- 
ginning Sunday, Nov. 
Meeting Appoints Commutes. 
Dr. William Black, Presbyterian 
State will hold a series of 
meetings in Jarvis Memorial 
dist church here, beginning on Sun- 
day, November 13th. Dr. Black is 
one of the strongest preachers In the 
State, and has done untold good in 
his evangelistic work. On two 
he held meetings in Green- 
ville both attended by much success, 
and our people are glad that he is 
coming again. Surely there is no 
town more in need of a real religious 
revival than Greenville, and it is 
hoped that such will be the result of 
the coming meeting. 
An indication of how all the 
of the town, regardless of 
nation, feel toward the coming of Dr. 
Black, was shown in a meet- 
in the Methodist church Sunday 
afternoon. There was a large attend- 
of the members of different 
churches to discuss plans for the 
meeting of Dr. Black. Several com- 
were appointed as 
J. H. Shore, chair- 
man; T. J. Jarvis, C. W. Wilson, F. 
M. Wooten, B. W. Moseley, H. B. 
Smith, J. L. Little, D. J. Whichard, 
H. E. Austin, O. E. Harris. 
J. Whichard, chair- 
man; A. B. Ellington, E. B.

dale, Mrs. T. E. Hooker. 
E. Harris, chairman; H. 
B. Smith, C. C. Pierce, W. B. Brown, 
D. S. Spain. 
All the members of all the churches 
were appointed as an invitation com- 
to do personal work and get 
people to attend the meeting. 
It was decided to hold union prayer 
meetings preparatory to the meeting 
on each Wednesday night, the meet- 
for this week to be in the Pres- 
church conducted by Rev. J. 
H. Shore, and such meetings will be 
held in the Methodist church on Wed- 
Thursday and Friday, pro- 
Nov. 13th. On each Sunday 
afternoon at o'clock a men's prayer 
meeting will be held in the Methodist 
church.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE 
No More Cheap Cotton. 
All remember the year when cotton 
sold at cents and the general dis- 
tress that resulted from it As the 
day of 5-cent cotton passed, so has 
the day of 10-cent cotton passed. We 
lo not expect to see the day when cot- 
on will get as low as ten cents. The 
market is going to fluctuate between 
twelve and twenty cents. The nearer 
the latter figure it gets, the better it 
will be for the country. High priced 
cotton has come to stay. The bears 
have lost their grip on the market 
They cannot control It as they did in 
former days, and the general 
of production and manufacture 
make high priced cotton a permanent 
certainty. A good day has dawned 
tor the cotton farmer and for the 
South. Many of the farmers will be 
to hold their cotton for twenty 
cents and the chances are that they

determined for good roads with- 
in the next two years, we will not 
only make Pitt county the leading 
county in the east, but we can put 
her among the leading counties of 
North Carolina, and increase the 
value of our farming lands per 
cent. Yours truly,

and, 
Whereas, they are of the 
that good roads should be constructed 
from the town of Greenville in every 
direction to the extreme limits of the 
county; now, therefore be it 
1st. That we favor good roads for

Short Trains for Dinner Gowns. 
While skirts continue to be very 
short in almost all day dresses, the 
have had to lend ear to 
the cry of the women who absolutely 
refuse to give up trains in their 
gowns. I have seen several 
very smart dinner dresses lately cut 
with short, slightly pointed trains, 
and I have no doubt that, there will 
be others the winter over. 
One that was worn recently was of 
satin but the rather 
vivid yellow was very much subdued 
by an overdress of dark 
gray net. The satin underskirt 
the short train I spoke of, but the 
tunic, of course, was short. It was 
gathered in a little at the top and its 
waistline was raised somewhat above 
its natural position The bottom of 
the tunic dropped into points at the 
sides and was hemmed with a deep 
band of the yellow satin, which drew 
it in a trifle without giving it any 
appearance of or con-

Governor Makes the True Ex- 
of What Does and Does 
Not Price of Labor. 
In reply to a letter of inquiry as to 
what he said in a certain speech, Gov- 
has written the follow- 
letter, which amply explains it- 
Mr. C. L. Harris. Mayodan, N. C. . 
Dear of the 7th has 
been received. 
I did not state that the only hope 
was for our laborers to be paid the 
same wages as foreigners, but I con- 
showed, I think, that the 
tariff did not regulate wages Since 
1607, long before we had a tariff 
American wages were higher than 
European wages. The workmen of 
Australia higher wages than those 
of North Carolina. The people of the 
State of Washington having the same 
that we have, get twice as much 
wages; and the people of Alaska, with 
the same tariff get four times as much 
wages as our people. The sugar 
planter In Louisiana, having high pro- 
pays no more wages than the 
Louisiana cotton grower, who is 
protected. The protected mun in 
pays more wages for the same 
class of work than the unprotected 
man, and pays no more for his wood, 
flour, or any other article. Our so- 
called protected laborers get no more 
wages than our unprotected 
masons, painters, etc. The 
to pay high wages does not result 
in high wages. The highly rich pay 
no higher wages for the same labor 
than the poor pay. 
I argued that since our American 
cotton mills are already producing 
more cotton manufacturers than the 
American people consume, and are 
thereby compelled to sell millions of 
dollars of them abroad in competition 
with foreign goods, that we must 
stop building new mills and 
old ones or we must sell an in- 
creasing quantity of manufactured 
goods to foreign people; that in order 
to build up a foreign trade In cotton 
goods we must compete in foreign 
markets with foreign goods; that to 
do this our manufacturers, since they 
are not in a monopoly, and therefore 
cannot overcharge cur people to 
make up for small profits or 
losses in the foreign market, must 
in position to make goods more 
than do now. 
Admitting that our mill owners are 
up to date and the most intelligent in 
the world, and that the American 
laborers does more work in the same 
number of hours than any other labor- 
in the world and therefore 
ed to more wages, and that our South- 
cotton mills arc in the midst of 
the cotton fields, yet the pro- 
policy our mills cannot profit- 
ably compete in the foreign market 
with foreign manufacturers. In or- 
to so compete, the tariff on mill 
machinery and supplies should be re- 
to a revenue basis, and thus en- 
mills to be equipped and sup- 
plied from in the thousand 
dollars cheaper than at present 
Mill owners, clerks, and other em- 
should have the opportunity 
of clothing 
and In every way taking 
of themselves and their families 
free from the oppression of the pro- 
policy This could be by 
reducing the tariff on all articles to 
a revenue basis. 
The entire wages paid in American 
cotton mills is less than per cent. 
of the value of the manufactured 
product. A per cent, tariff on the 
value of manufactured products will 
more than pay he difference in wage 
in England and the United States, and 
vet we have an average tax of per 
cent on manufacturers on the tariff 
list. 
No Democrat favors free trade, 
but every one favors a tariff for rev- 
Free trade England pays 
wages than any country in Eu- 
rope, protected or otherwise, and he-- 
wages have increased per cent 
since she adopted the free-trade pol- 
icy. An English weaver gets 
a week wages and for shorter hours. 
Factory wages have been increasing 
here and elsewhere for a hundred 
years, and will continue to increase, 
improved machinery enables labor to 
earn more, and improved social con- 
demand more wages. 
The laborer should have right to 
spend his wages without paying 
to protection. Owing to the pro- 
policy, the American laborer 
is compelled to pay from to 
for goods which the English laborer 
buys at The Englishman 
for a suit of woolen clothes 
which costs the American The 
latter's wife pays twice as much for 
a pair of kid gloves. She pays 
more for a hundred pounds of sugar 
than the Englishman's wife. She pays 
practically twice as much for her 
blankets, flannels and shawls; 
per cent more for woolen carpets and 
hats. She pays more for her cutlery, 
crockery, stove and for a majority of 
the articles to clothe herself and 
and equip her home. 
The primary purpose of the 
policy is to enable the protected 
interests to charge the American 
more for goods they would 
otherwise have to pay. 
If labor got the benefit the in- 
creased prices the benefit would be 
divided among millions instead of thou 
sands, and the American conscience 
would not be so deeply aroused over 
protection's iniquity. 
The American cotton mills already 
producing more goods than the Amer- 
consume, not being in a trust, 
and competing with each other for the 
American market, do not and cannot 
hold the prices of their, goods up to 
the protective tariff standard and are 
not repeating the high profits which 
were attainable in the past. If the 
theory had ever been true that pro- 
regulates wages, the theory 
could not now apply to our cotton 
mills. The American people, whoso 
cotton, corn, wheat, cattle, and hogs 
bring no greater than such prod 
of the South American, English, 
and European farmers, and being 
compelled to pay greater prices for 
the protected goods they buy, and 
thereby deprived of full ability 
to consume American cotton 
In other words, ninety millions of 
American consumers-- the best 
chasers of the so oppress- 
ed by the protective policy that they 
ire unable to buy cotton from 
our factories in as great quantities as 
they would otherwise consume.

really come to fill the place for which 
they were designed. At first the idea 
of educating n farmer was laughable 
to people who rejoiced In a lit- 
learning. Even the farmer him- 
self did not realize the advantage of a 
college education to a man who must 
make n living from the soil. It took n 
good many years to bring people to re- 
that college education is as val- 
for a as for a doctor or 
a lawyer. The main difference Is that 
the law compels a man to get a col- 
diploma before he starts to 
medicine, while he may start 
farming with nothing but n team 
a plow. 
Even the present time there ore 
many men both on the farm and in 
the cities who doubt the value of a 
college education for the farmer 
Many a farm is squarely con- 
fronted with the problem of choosing 
between four years In college or start- 
to farm once. Four years is a 
long time to n young man. Fifteen 
hundred to is a large sum of 
money to him. To spend both for a 
college education require a great deal 
of and faith In the future. 
The of money necessary to 
pay four expenses In college

farming on a farm. four

If he goes to college he will have

but the experience and knowledge he 
has gained there. Is It worth 
I have put this question squarely to 
dozens of men in their last year

they say that It Is worth the 
outlay. Not one regretted the time 
or the money which be bad bartered 
for his education. Few of them placed 
It on a money basis alone, but even 
from that standpoint they considered 
that the chances were in favor of the 
college man. 
The boy who starts farming for him- 
self without any education will run up 
against a good many snags which the 
college man will miss. He will learn 
by experience many of the things 
which the college man learns in 
school. In doing so he will pay much 
dearer for his knowledge. The old 
prejudice against is 
fast disappearing. People coming 
to realize that book fanning Is merely 
the fused experience of successful 
farmers everywhere, explained and 
Illumined by the light of science. Prob- 
ably in no one respect is

apparent than in case of soil fer-

crops. The art of keeping up the 
soil fertility cannot be learned from 
neighbors, for they have not 
it It cannot be learned from 
father or grandfather, for In their 
day the fertility of the soil was con- 
inexhaustible. 
Tho success of the agricultural col- 
graduate cannot be measured In 
money alone. The agricultural com- 
Just now need leaden much 
More than they need men who can 
simply make money on their own 
farms, it is necessary for the 
cultural college graduate to succeed on 
his own farm, of course. Ills every 
move Is closely watched by critical 
neighbors. Even the shadow of a 
failure starts a chorus of told you 
Success on his own farm Is the first 
essential to the young man who would 
be a leader. Given that for backing, 
he can do almost anything be wants 
to with his community. Farmers have 
a vast deal of respect for the man 
who can do things. Their prejudice 
against college farming is lost i ad- 
for the results achieved by 
the college farmer. If he advises or- 
a club they are willing to 
Join In and help. If he tells them the 
school needs reorganizing they are 
willing to be convinced. They may 
even consent to bringing two or three 
schools together and using the money 
saved to hire better teachers. The in- 
of one man's success and the 
energy Imparted by him is -sufficient to 
start a whole community to thinking. 
Once you get a man to thinking, there 
Is no need to worry further about him. 
He will take care of himself. 
If energetic young farmer with 
an agricultural education could be 
placed In each township throughout 
the funning sections results would 
be enlightened agriculture 
would be the envy of the whole

success without such an education Is 
impossible. Many farmer boys are 
not fitted for an education of this kind

n road building, and awakened In- 
in all who passed over it and 
its excellence and the cheapness 
with which it was constructed. That 
d caused the people over on the 
road to want one, and by 
voluntary contributions they raised a 
fund to tender to the county 
to augment the work of the 
convict force if placed on that road. 
The tender was accepted, the con- 
were put on that road and it 
was improved with sand-clay for 
miles. 
The people on the river or Falk-

over on the road leading towards 
Farmville had likewise got 
busy. They raised voluntary 
among themselves to the

now at work there, and ere long there 
will be several miles more of good

While such steps on the part of the 
people for local road improvement is 
commendable, yet is is slow and 
would require years and years to get 
good roads over any considerable

way. Still every section of good road 
that is built awakens that much more 
interest, and ere long the people all

the determination to have good roads 
as quickly as possible. Sand-clay 
roads are the most available and the 
cheapest that can be constructed in

roads can soon be built all over the

Building and Loan Insurance. 
The Chronicle a few days ago noted 
the fact that some of the in- 
companies had devised a plan 
for using depositors in building and 
loan associations. That is, a plan 
whereby, if a man paying for his 
home should die, the insurance com- 
would pay the mortgage and 
give his widow a title to the home. It 
seems that this new feature sprung 
from a meeting of the United States 
League of Building and Loan 
in Charlotte last May and from 
tho speech of Mr. O. B. Eaton, of

The first company to respond to 
the suggestion was the Equitable Life 
Assurance Society. It decided to place 
its facilities at the service of the 
building and loan associations and to 
co-operate with those activities so 
nearly allied to its own. Under the 
supervision of a special branch, a plan 
has been devised which will enable 
the man of moderate moans who is 
paying for his home to protect his 
family In case of his death and to 
provide for this insurance by small 
monthly deposits made at the office 
of bis own building mid loan

Train The Children to Read. 
We believe that the desire for 
knowledge, for and because of the 
power which gives life's work is the 
most important ambition any boy or 
girl can possess and that the 
of the reading habit offers the 
best means of satisfying this 
We have never seen a farm 
home where tho parents were read- 
that the effect was not plain in 
the increased refinement and com- 
forts in the home, and the greater 
efficiency of the work done inside the 
house and out in the fields. 
If, however, father and mother do 
not read, and show neither desire 
nor respect for the knowledge and 
power which reading brings, the 
boys and girls are not likely to form 
the habit and thereby they miss the 
greatest pleasure of life and a means 
of acquiring knowledge which gives 
power in the work of life. 
We believe in reading for pleasure 
and culture, but with reading, as 
with teaching in our schools, we 
believe that as great pleasure and 
culture may come through reading 
that which will furnish us facts and 
knowledge to better meet the re- 
and do the work of the 
life we lead as from any other. We 
can recall no keener pleasures than 
those which we have experienced in 
reading for the first time an 
of the true reasons for doing 
certain things which we had been 
doing over and over again without 
Ever after there was 
a new pleasure in doing those things 
and they were done better because 
of the better understanding of why 
we were required to do them An 
understanding of why he is required 
to cultivate a clean crop,, and how 
cultivation conserves moisture, can 
not fail to interest the boy, improve 
his mind enlarge his understanding 
and encourage him to do his work 
better. 
The girl who learns by her own 
reading why and how milk sours, 
how and why bread rises, or why 
canned fruits ferment can not fail 
to take more interest in her work 
with these things and do it better.

Fine Progress of the National Bank

At a meeting of the directors of 
the National Bank of Greenville, held 
on the 11th, a semi-annual dividend 
of per cent, was declared to be 
paid to the stockholders. This bunk 
has been in business just four and a 
years., and this makes 
a total of that the stockholders 
have received. In addition to this, 
there is remaining in surplus and 
divided profits This is an 
excellent showing for the institution, 
a credit to its officers and truly 
to the stockholders. 
Elsewhere in this paper will be 
found a statement showing the stand- 
of the bank at the close of

of the bank has grown rapidly each

Appeals to Young Men to Take Part 
to Preserve Good Government by 
Working In the Democratic Ranks. 
Greenville, N. C, Oct. 
J. the grand old man of 
North Carolina, today issued this 
clarion call to the young men of 
North 
I have always taken a deep and 
abiding interest in the young men 
and I have done what I could to pro- 
mote their welfare. I have in pub- 
and private life tried to make it 
easy for the young men to become ed- 
fitted and trained for the 
ties of life and have in public ad- 
dresses and private urged 
them to make the most of their op- 
I have associated much with the 
young people and to this fact, I at- 
tribute much of the continued active, 
hopeful, happy life I lead. 
Because of these things I do not 
feel that I am violating the rules of 
propriety in these words of advice 
and encouragement to the young men 
of my state. 
I cannot and do not advise you to 
become politicians and seekers after 
office, but I do Insist that you owe a 
duty to your State and to society 
that you can only discharge by an 
active participation in public affairs. 
But how shall you discharge these 
duties 
In the first place you should set a 
high standard of Public Morality and 
Public Service and insist that those 
who seek the favors of the Public 
shall measure up to them. Set high 
ideals and strive to live up to them 
yourselves and teach your fellows by 
precept and example to do likewise. 
In public matters seek only the public 
good and use only methods that are 
honest and just. Avoid the man who 
would prostitute the public service 
to his private gain. Shun as you 
would a deadly pestilence the party 
that would debauch the young man- 
hood of the State for party success 
or that even directly or indirectly ad 
measures which tend to pro- 
duce results. Having fixed upon 
high ideals in public life stand by 
them and defend them. 
But ours is a Government by Party. 
Whether we would have it so or not 
the fact is that party policies and 
party practice largely determine the 
policy and practice of the Govern- 
So if you propose to take an 
active part in public affairs in our 
State it is necessary for you to ally 
yourself with one or the other of tho 
two political parties which seek con- 
of the State Government. WHICH 
SHALL IT BE 
The principles of the Republican 
party as a National Party are 
mentally wrong. It teaches that the 
power to levy taxes and collect rev- 
for the support of the Govern- 
carries with it the power to 
distribute the burdens of supporting 
the Government equally. Under the 
guise of protecting certain 
tries tho government may make laws 
to enrich one class of men at the 
expense of another class. Demo- 
says that the burdens and 
blessings of Government should be 
distributed on all alike. 
says not so, but that these 
burdens and blessings should be dis- 
according to the sweet Will 
of the few who dictate the making of 
the It is the privilege and the 
duty of the young men to stand with 
the patty which stands for equality 
of opportunity in the race of life. I 
warn you against the seductive 
peal that is sometimes addressed to 
you to join this or that party on the 
plea that it may offer personal ad- 
vantage. Public service and human 
welfare are the considerations that 
ought to weigh with a high-minded 
manhood. 
When the young men come to form 
their party affiliations in this State 
not one should have the slightest 
difficulty in making his selection be- 
tween the Democratic and 
can parties. The party 
has ever stood for high ideals and 
has wrought results. 
The Republican party has stood for 
low Ideals when it was given 
power has brought wreck and ruin 
in its wake and shame and disgrace 
upon the State. 
I became a worker in the Demo- 
party in the days 
the war and I saw its victories 
and achievements then. t assisted 
in its re-organization after the war 
and I have worked with it and for 
It ever since. I have seen it go 
down in defeat twice during these 
long years from 1865 to 1910, and 
oh what dark and damnable pages 
were written in my State's History 
during these two Republican 
There cannot be one 
among you who would not wipe out 
blots upon the fair name of our dear 
old State if you could That cannot 
be done, but I will tell you what you 
can do. You can unite with the party 
that has twice redeemed the State 
from unworthy rule 
I have seen the Democratic party 
take charge of the Government of 
the State when lay prostrate 
Republican oppressions, when 
her people were poor and almost 
hopeless, when the school houses 
were closed and the teacher was 
lent, when ruin and despair seemed 
to brood over the land. And under 
Democratic rule I hive seen the 
dark clouds pass away and hope re- 
vive. I have seen the school house 
opened and the teacher abroad in the 
land. I have seen good government 
take the place of bad government and 
law and order hold sway everywhere. 
I have seen poverty way to pros- 
and tho mourning of the 
turned into joy. I have seen 
the State rise from the wreck and 
ruin wrought by Republican misrule 
and take her place under Democratic 
rule among the foremost States In 
this great Union of States. 
It is into the ranks of this great 
and glorious party records are 
so of achievement 
that invite my dear young 
to come and share with us in labors 
triumphs in in 
State. J JARVIS. 
Our Greatest Weakness. 
So a the public rural school 
term is Daly four or five months, in- 
stead of at eight or nine, it is 
not worth while to look further for 
the greatest need of the South as re- 
development V. 
repeat that the greatest need of 
Southern agriculture is education, 
and by this we do not mean 
in the and practice of 
agriculture alone, but that 
which creates a desire for 
knowledge for the purpose of using 
it in living a better 
cation which trains the mind to 
think and creates higher ideals and

WHAT THE CAROLINA

Norfolk Southern Railroad to Make 
Agricultural Exhibit 
sets Land 
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 1.2 The good re- 
by the Norfolk South- 
railroad from display of 
the Carolina coast country 
at the Ohio valley exposition, recent- 
held at caused 
them to decide to participate in the 
land show. This land show 
tor two 
weeks, beginning and 
closing the 29th.- 
The general interest manifested by 
the Middle West In the 
display St by the 
Norfolk at 
show, makes it advisable to repeat 
this exhibit, even on a larger scale 
at the coining show In 
There is no more productive sol 
In the South than pan be found along 
the lines of the Norfolk 
railroad, and when to this 
is added equal climate, its great ad- 
to the growing 
ant crops and the nearness of this 
great crop producing country to the 
great markets the eastern cities 
then the true worth of farm locations 
in this territory becomes apparent. 
As was demonstrated at the 
show, the rich lands along 
the Mississippi valley, even the very 
lands of the Mississippi delta could 
not produce products equal to that 
shown by tho Norfolk Southern rail- 
road. Corn, oats potatoes, apples, 
alfalfa and many other valuable and 
staple farm products from the Nor- 
folk Southern territory were, in 
superior to the exhibits 
portions of the country, and not 
only attracted the attention of inter- 
Middle West farmers, but also 
won the highest approbation of tho 
entire country. 
It is now proposed by the Norfolk 
Southern management to take a 
exhibit of all the products 
representative of their territory to 
the show, and thus con- 
the work of showing to the 
world the productive of 
the coast country. 
In addition to the display of these 
products it has been arranged to 
give lectures Illustrated 
by lantern views showing many at- 
tractive farming scones along the 
road. A large number of photographs 
have been secured showing the 
try and its possibilities, by the 
means of these photographs it is pro- 
posed to throw on the lecture room 
screen exact reproductions of plain 
farming facts, as they exist In the 
Carolina coast country. 
Valuable results are sure to come 
from this energetic plan of 
by the Norfolk Southern railroad 
company, and the country through 
its participation in this Middle West 
exposition, will surely bring the 
try into greater prominence with the 
people from other states, and will 
help turn the tide of 
into the attractive fields to be found 
from Norfolk southward along the 
lines of the Norfolk Southern rail- 
road.

UNIVERSITY DAY 
v of Hundred Seventeenth 
at Chapel Hill. 
Chapel Hill, Oct 117th 
anniversary of the founding of the 
University of North Carolina 
celebrated in chapel and throughout 
the state last Wednesday the ex- 
of university day. In 
Hill the day was a holiday for the 
students. The alumni associations 
all over North Carolina and in many 
of the largest cities of the country 
celebrated the fittingly. 
grams were received from the 
in New York Birmingham and 
various other places. 
The principal address of the day 
in Hill delivered by Pres- 
He declared that the 
university faces a crisis, just as real 
and just as pressing as that brought 
on by the civil war, which resulted 
in the closing of the institution. The 
college is overcrowded in every way. 
is bound to set in 
less from some source, expectedly 
and naturally from the State, a more 
ample provision is made for the sup- 
port of the college. He quoted fig- 
to show that North Carolina, 
although possessing an amount of 
taxable property great- 
than Virginia, was appropriating 
for the support of its state university 
a sum that hardly exceeds half of 
the yearly Virginia appropriation. 
In his remarks at the chapel 
Thursday the fine 
celebration of university day, Dean 
Graham, of the academic department, 
after expressing the appreciation of 
the university at the wonderfully in- 
spiring support that the alumni 
all over the country brought, 
called the attention of the students 
to what he considered the most 
fact of the celebration Just 
This was the civic strength 
of the young alumni who chiefly made 
up the local program. The greatest 
glory of the university is the 
renaissance in North

An ignorant man, so far as tobacco 
is concerned, asks the question, why, 
If one farmer received an average of 
cents per pound for bis tobacco, the 
general market average does not show 
cents And the funny part of the 
thing is that, such men pretend to ad- 
vise farmers as to what is for 
etc. Now, we know of a man 
who received an average of nearly 
cents per pound for his on the 
market last week. We 
know of another man who received an 
average less than cents. Now, what's 
the difference In prices One man 
had good tobacco, marketed in good 
condition. The other fellow had 
poor tobacco, some of it being wet 
and damaged. That's
