The expenditures incident to the war
with Spain. The war caused large ex-
pemditures. Wars are always Followed
by prosperity to the victorious country
The time of payment has not come.
This war has proved no exception to the
rule The millions of dollars daily spent
now and in getting ready for and during
the war put money into circulation, ami
have been potent factors in increasing
business in many lines.
tories have gone abroad and brought
more gold to add to our supply. In
enumerating the causes, Mr.. James in
cludes this, for he says:
IF, now, we turn to another report we
Shall be able to discover i'm it perhaps
the most impressive of all the stories
that tell of our revival and increase &c
prosperity. In 1892 we exported of ag-
ricultural products in the fiscal year
ending June 80 S799, 100000 in round
numbers. We did not export as much in
value as that again, although in 1899 we
exported $3.50, 100000 in round numbers.
In the intervening years the export
ranged from $3.50, 100000 in round num-
beers in 1898 down to- 500, 100000 n
1895. But if we turn to the figures THAT
tell the story of the export of the pro-
ducts of our manufactures in the same
wears. we discover set forth i'll the most
emphatic manner the amazing story of
our industrial expansion. In 1892, ifs
cal year. we exported of manufactured
products S15S, 100000; in 1898, approx
mately in the same amount; in 1891,
S1S3. 600 900: i'm 1895, approximately the
same amount; in 1896 2S,0O0.00O; IL
1897. S27T 100000; in 1898, $3.50, COO,
600: and in 1899, $685., 100000, with
every indication that the export for this
fiscal year of manufactured products will
be as great as 1915, 100000. Therefore
while we have gained i'm export of agri-
cultural products not at all since 1872.
we have gained more than 100 per cent.
in our export of manufactured products,
showing how vastly our industries have
expanded, and that while we are con-
manding our own domestic markets, we
are surely reaching out in successful
competition with other nations for The
control of the markets of the world.
let us rejoice in the return of conf
dence and work and pray that prosperity
may come to all sections of our country
and to all homes.

the efficacy Of the proposed constitution
al amendment now agitating the people
of North Carolina as solution of the
race question If the amendment should
be adopted and held by the courts, with
the exception of section >, which Is
clearly unconstitutional, about as many

great as the illiterate white element III

gineered this amendment idea have been
foremost always in raising the Niger
cry in the State, knowing that such AN
appeal stopped argument and obscureo
reason. They still want to make use OF
that cry, and hence their setting up OF
nights to get up a law that was certain
of being declared unconstitutional II II

INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition of the nervous system. Inc
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
