EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.
The Commercial and Farmers Bank
Celebrated Its Eighth Anniversary.

Eight years ago yesterday the Com
mercial and Farmers Bank opened its
doors, and in these few short years it
has come to be recognized, not only as
one of the leading financial institutions
in Raleigh, but to rank also with the
first banking houses Of the South.
The secret of its success? 1t started
with directorate of the first business
men of the State, with popular and ex-
perienced officers, and has proceeded
all along upon safe methods. It's last
statement, published in the News and
Observer two weeks ago showed three
items that tell the story of its success
to those who understand the banking
business. They are:
Capital stock. .Sl00,OOO.0O
Surplus and profits. ....... 34,ooo.oo
individual deposits. .... 4OS,oZl.l6
1t has regularly paid a semi-annual
dividend of eight per cent. The stock is
quoted in our local market reports ''125
bid" but the owners of the stock regard
it as so good that more can be had. 1t
is really worth 100, or more.
Raleigh rejoices with the popular and
capable officers and stockholders upon
the success which has crowned the efforts
of the first eight years of business. 1t
has been helpful to Raleigh enterprise
and Raleigh business, and its prosperity
has been the prosperity of the city. 1t
has given out help as it has received the
support and confidence of the public.
The officers of this bank are: j. j.
Thomas, President; ALT. A. Thompson,
Vice President; b. S. Jermjan, Cashier;
III. w. Jackson. Assistant Cashier;
James. Il. Shepherd, Attorney.
The directorate is composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: j. j. Thomas, of j.
j. Thomas & Co. commission
merchants and warehocsemen; Alf
A. Thompson, Johnson & Thomp-
son, cotton merchants; Carey j.
Hunter. Superintendent Union Cen
trail Life Insurance Company for the
Carolinas and Virginia; X. b. Raney,
proprietor Marlborough House and gen
eral agent Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company; Thos. III. Briggs, of Thos. Ii.

CUTTING CROSS TIES
A New Business in Lauderdale Which
is Proving Most Profitable

Florence, September 16.-(Special) "A bu-
sness that is remarkable for the rapidly
of its growth is that of getting out cross
ties In this comfy. This is especially true
of the Gravelly Springs neighborhood in
the western end of the county. where an
immense number of ties are taken out each
week and where several thousand dollars is
being paid out monthly by the agents of
numerous concerns doing the business.
Many farmers in that section of the
county have put in only half crops this
year, while many have abandoned farm
ing altogether in order to have more time
TO devote to the tie business. Cross ties
are worth $50 per hundred delivered on the
bank of the river, and one instance has
been noted in this county where a farmer
named Kant got one hundred and fifteen
ties from one tree. This business, together
with the demands for lumber created by
the Florence wagon works, the stave fac
tory, pump and lumber company and the
two planning mills. is rapidly taking off the
timber of the county.

SMALL SICKNESSES
Do Not Neglect Them-They Often Grow
Into Larger Ones

Piles are painful. persistent, hard to cure,
but they can be cured. There is just one
remedy that will do it. 1t is recent dis
covery. but it has been on the market long
enough to have the endorsement of leading
physicians and the recommendation OF
thousands of cured patients.
Pyramid Pile Cure acts quickly and d.
rectly. 1t cures the cause of the trouble.
Cures 1t SO that the effect is permanent.
A great many salyes and Ointments will
give relief for a few minutes That is mot
what is wanted. Pyramid Pile Cure will
cure any sort of piles; blind, itching or
bleeding. 1t will cure the hghtest, the
most aggravated case. The first applica-
ton will do more good than dozen boxes
of any of the many of the so-called cures
now sold. Read these letters. They are
from people who have tried it.
Mr.. j. w. Rollins, a gentleman living at
Sweet Springs, Mo-, writes briefly and to
the point regarding his experience with
piles, he says: l consider the Pyramid Pile
Cure without an equal. 1t cured me in less
than thirty days. l waited fifteen days or
more to be sure the remedy had fully cured
am cured and shall recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure at every possible opportun-
ity because it deserves it.
Miss Easter Nunley, of Tracy City, Tenn,
writes: The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
my sister more good than anything She has
ever taken. 1 have nothing but words of
warm commentator for It.
From ]. d. Roberts, Mt Moriah, Mo-: I

suits have been entirely satisfactory. There
