Itig not what & man or nation wealthy but it is in their savings. : “North Carolina is full of nature's present and lasting prosperity. But what benefit is it that these resources exist, that they may be made to vield up their varied wealth to the efforts of our people if after these developmen:s are made and wealth secured, it is thrown away by our people buying from outside places that which can be made at home? It is by looking after these drains wpon our resources, by gaving and by making the little things count that our wealth will increase. What will it. amount to if our farmers raise great crops, and it 4:kos the movey of these crops to pay for the fertilizers that produce them ? What does it benefit and protect our people if they pay one million ddjlars more each year than they recoiye from their fire and life in- surance policies ? And it is also in our minor mat- ters that drains occur. Our people gend away for all kinds of articies that may be purchased from bome merchauts. Malions of dollars are sent away for articles that can aud should be manufactured within our own borders. It is these drains, one and all, that so coustantly abserb what our peoples make, and th» State's vast resources are being sent away to eurich other people aud other sections. There is a need of eaving, of stopping these various drains upon the energy and labor of the people of North Carolina; if there is to be any accumulation of wealth in this State.

That was sev- eral years ago. After leaving school he went to work as a bar- tender in his father’s saloon, where there was always 4 plenti- fal supply of cigarettes. His father noticed George's | growing fondness for cigarettes, and in order to break him of the habit, discontinued their sale in his saloon. The son when un- abie to go out for himself, would press every chance visitor into his service to secure them. Eventually the father grew more vigorous in his restrictions, but even this failed. Then a physician warned the young man that to continue the yice would be to court death. This, like the admonitions of his father, passed unheeded in the desire to inhale poisonous rolls of paper and to- bacco, and a short time ago the habit took such a hold upon him teen packs a day. It was noticed a few days ago the boy’s nervous manner aod inability to attead to his daily affairs, watched him closely, and then called in a physician. ‘The doctor, after looking at the boy, shook his head and made the same observation that had been made many times before; that the young man wouli die unless jome means were adopted to break him of the vice. The climax came vesterday morning. Deprived of bis cigar- ettes, young Merkt broke into a frenzy, and to preserye the lives of those in his home, 1t was nec- essary to callthe police.
