The December Forum.

The leading article in The Forum
for December is probably the clearest
analysis OF the present financial situation
in the United States that has yet APP
peared The writer is Mr.. Paul Leroy
Beauliu, the distinguished French econ
Omist, who lays down the conditions
for American Commercial and Financial
Supremacy" He says that there is much
surprise throughout Europe that great
nation like the United States should al
low its development to be trammelled by
frequent and severe crises, and that it
should be either unable to discern their
causes or lack decision to remove them
from it's path. He thinks that the fail
ure of the American government to re-
deemits paper currency after the war
was a great and vital error, whose evil
influences are still felt. In his opinion,
the United states government should
cease to issue paper money, renting
this task to the banks. NJ. Beaulieu
points out that the geographical posi-
ton of the: United States is such that it
can aspire to take from England, in the
course of the next century, its commercial
and financial supremacy, but that in
order to attain this supremacy the dol
lar must be given the qualities OF the
pound sterling: in other words, there must
be no sort Of doubt that 1t is a gold dollar.
After warning Americans not to be duped
by the ambiguous expressions as to bim-
metallism INDUCED in by European states
men for public effect, he calls attention
to the enormously increasing out put OF
gold. and says that, in view OF this fact
bimetallisn movement is bound to col
lapse NJ. Beaulieu closes his article with
these profoundly significant words:
"The abandonment OF notes or paper
money is issued by the state; the definite
adoption of gold as the sole standard
these are the two necessary condl-
tons Oh which the United States can Sc
cure financial position as important
as that they now hold in agriculture and
industry. On these two conditions they
can some day approach and equal Great
Britain as financial power: II, on the
contrary, they persist in their System OF
government paper money, and In the
rehabilitation of silver, their industrial
and commercial development will be
trammelled, and they will undergo mark
ed and permanent experiences OF financial
weakness"

How to Kill a Newspaper.

10" 10 NAl n INe"SP0PSTs
An editor who has evidently felt
some portion of the process, gives the
following instructions for killings news
paper: Just let your subscription go.
It's only dollar or two-the publisher
don't need it. II he asks you for it get
just as mad as you can and tell him to
stop the paper-you never read it any,
how. Then go and borrow your neigh
boris. When the reporter comes for
news always be busy. Make him feel
as if he were intruding. When the
advertising and job man comes tell him
you don't need to advertise-everybo
knows you; that you will try and get
along without any printed stationery
it's too expensive that business is slack
and you must economize. Never drop
in to see the editor unless you want a
free complimentary notice or lengthy
obituary for a beloved relative. Never
recommend the paper to anybody.
When you speak of it always say,
Yes, we have little sheet, but it
don't amount to much" Keep this up
a year or two and you will have dead
newspaper, dead set of merchants
and a dead town.

Death of rlr. James D. Elam.

his friends when the death Of Mr.. James
D. Elan was announced last Friday
evening. He had not been we'll for
some time and during the past five
mouths particularly his health had been
giving way, but only those most init
mately associated with him knew his
true condition. Indeed, his family did
not realize that the end was so near
until Thursday morning when he was
stricken with paralysis. From that
time until he died at O'Clock p. NJ.
Friday lie was unconscious.
Mr.. Elan was native of Mecklen-
burg county, Va, and was 40 years
old. He had been a resident of Hen
derson several years and was we'll known
among our people. He leaves n wife
and one daughter, Mrs. Alex T. Barnes,
with whom they lived. Besides these
his mother, two brothers and four sisters
are living. The deceased was of a
cheerful disposition and friendly nature
and no one knew him but to like him.
He had wide acquaintance and was
fine salesman, holding different posi-
tons in that capacity since he came to
Henderson.
Mr.. Elan was consistent member
of the Bautist church and was a good
man AS that term goes. He was not
afraid of death and talked freely about
it during the last days Of his sickness.
Naturally, he shrunk from the thought
of separation from his family and friends
but beyond this the dread summons
which he knew must come soon or late
had no terrors for him.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
fist church at O'Clock Saturday after
noon. the pastor Rev. J. w. Willard
conducting the service. Interment at
the cemetery.

nassenburg's Hotel.

The Louisburg Times makes the fol-
lowing complimentary and deserved
reference to one of Henderson's best
known and most popular institutions,
Massenburg's Hotel. 1t says:
Nearly every town of note in the State
is looking to the Improvement of their
hotels and among them is the Massen-
burg Hotel at Henderson, which already
has the worldwide reputation as being
one of the best kept hotels in the State.
The proprietor and his good wife, as we'll
as all Others connected with this hotel,
are popular with the travelling public,
and justly so, as they always seem to
have the comfort of their guests at heart
Many additions have been made recently
to the hotel-the dining room double it's
former size, the Office enlarged with a
nice, comfortable reading room just in
rear of the Office. A number of bed
rooms are also being added, the necsssi-
ty OF which proves the increased pat
ronage and popularity OF the hotel. Al
though the proprietor at one time,
claimed to be running the only second
class hotel' in the South, we think he can
now afford to drop the word second
and claim his as among the tirst-class.

New York Fashion Letter.

The utility of the tailor made gown for
every day wear has established it as a
part OF every we'll dressed woman's out
fit. The full skirt is plain and the jacket
is usually made with short ripple back,
and strapped seams. These skirts are
not interlined, but are finished with
narrow stiff facing around the bottom.
All varieties of fancy silk waists are again
the rage, but the new velvet blOuses are
the most popular of all, and velvet for
entire gown is much in vogue. 1t il not
always silk velvet; but velveteen in
stripes, plaids and figures are variously
employed. The newest outside garments
are very much trimmed, sometimes EN-
tirely with braiding or passenenterie
aud often with fur, principally Sable and
Persian fur trimmings. The old fashion
of using jet embroidery velvet is one of
the most popular faneies of the Winter.
A trimming OF velvet is q necessary part
of every outdoor as well as indoor gar
ment, and vest of some bright cOlored
velvet tends to tighten charminglya dark
cloth jacket. The lining for the coats
and capes is livery gorgeous, the richest
brocades and sntins in the newest designs
being employed. Some of the newest
capes have high inside collars faced with
real antique lace. There are gorgeous
mantles that reach from the neck to the
hem of the gown for opera and carriage
wear.
In the latest numbers Of the Fashion
Magazines published by A. Mcdowell &
Co, are large variety of these latest
styles. These periodicals are always very
attractive and are constantly increasing
in popularity. La Node de Paris and Puris
Album Of Fashions cost $a.aO per years
subscription, or as cents a copy. The
French Dressnaaker is 3d. per annum or
40 cents copy, and La Mode $40 a
year or Is cents copy. If you are I'M
able to procure either of these journals
from your newsdealer do not take any
substitute. but apply by mail to Messrs.

The Durham and Northern Railroad.
The Durham Globe says this of the
recent meeting in that city of the di-
reclors of the Durham and Northern
Railroad, when dividend of q per
cent. was declared, as reported in
these columns last week:
1t was shown by the report Of the pres
dent and directors that this road has
done, during the past year, the largest
~ months business Of any, that it con-
meets two Of the liYeliest towns in the
State, Durham and Henderson, and runs
through the meart of the golden tobacco
belt. During the year many improve
ments bave baen made in the road and
the expense has been quite heavy, but in
spite of this the net earnings of the road
justified the directors in declaring a divi-
dend of two and half per cent. The
road ia prospecting, and growing year by
year.
The stockholders reelected r. Curaon
Hoffman,, president, and the following
directors: George W. Watts, Leo d..
Heartt, D. y. Cooper, Judge l.. r. Watts,
l.. A. Carr and c. f. Johnson.
Mr.. J. H Bridgers was here as proxy
for the town Of Henderson, and Mr..
Thomas H. Martin represented the stock
owned by the town of Durham.
President Hoffman remarked upon the
condition of this road, saying it was the
most prosperous line in the system.
"Gong into decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
i'm prove the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat aud digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putre6es in
the stomach. developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause various
disorders.
What is required is that the stomach be
made to perform its duties. The Shaker
digestive Cordial is food already digested
and digester of foods as we'll. 1t will
make the stomach healthy. Get a book
from the druggist and read about it.
