We are prepared to make loans on i'm
proved farms, for a term of ten years. with
interest payable annually. We will give the
borrower the privilege of making payment
of as much as one-fith of the principal at any
time each year, thereby stopping the interest
on the amount paid. By this method The
borrower is enabled to pay off the full amount
of the loan in five yeas. The privilege to
pay one-ffth each year is optional with the
borrower. He can. If he chooses, keep the
loan for the full time. No extra charge for
this privilege, which enables the farmer to be
out of deot in five years il he chooses
Should the borrower conclude to only pay
one tenth of his loan each year, he would then
be out of debt at the end of ten years. As
most borrowers pay the agent commission
for their loans it is very easy to see the ad-
vantage of the above plan 1t enables the
farmer to save the expenses of making new
loan every three or five years. OUR MORT
| CAGES HAVE NO GOLD Clause

before going elsewhere. Call on

THE LIFE HISTORY OF ZACHA
RIAS HAYNES.
His Wife Was a Daughter of One of
the World Famous Siamese Twins
His Voice Returned in Death.


The death of Mr.. Z~acharias
w. HAYNES, one of the teach
ers at the School for the Deaf
at this place, which occurred
on the evening of the6th inst,
as announced in last weeks
News, was ocCasioned by acute
pneumonia, which followed an
attack of grip.
Professor HAYNES was a
native of Yadkin county and
was 50 years of age on the
day of his death. At the age
of about 10 years typhoid fever
caused the loss of his hearing.
He entered the North Carolina
school for the deaf and blind
In 1861, and was a pupil of
that institution during the
civil war.
In 1865 he became a teacher
In the school, and in 1869 was
elected one of the principal
teachers Of the Colored deaf
department, which position he
held for 81 years. He was
transferred in 1890 to the
white department, and re-
moved to Morganton with the
school in 1894, where he faith
fully fulfilled the duties of his
post up the time of his death
In 1873 Professor Hayne:
was married to Miss Louise
b.. Bunker, a daughter of one
of the world-famed Siamese
twins. A sketch in the Deaf
Mute Voice of April 10, 1896,
says: "Some men are grea'
by what they do, others BY
what they are. Mr.. Haynes
merits the epithet especially
in the latter, for his gentle
and manly bearing in and out
of the school room, his genia
good nature, his deliberatior
and discretion, must bear
fruits in the lives and char
acters of the many hundred
pupils who have come unde1
his influence during the 8
years of his professional life.
Although Professor Hayne:
had been deprived of th'
power to speakfor forty years
a short time before his deatl
and while he was delirious tn,
watchers around his bedSid,
distinctly heard him utter th'
words, Lord, have mercy.

Imperialism.

Talk about imperialism! Do you know of
any valid reason why sugar should be seven
ceuts pound when it used to be four cents
pound? Or nails $475 keg when they used
to be $1.oo? The only reason on earth, my
dear sir, is the imperial decree of the trust. 1t
orders prices high or low, as lest suits its con-
venience; and prices, when operated by the
arbitrary power of trust, are simply tax
levied upon the people through the nanipula-
ton of the price of necessity of their daily
life The taxes levied by the trusts are more
onerous and burdensome than those levied by
the overnment.-Troy Times.

China doesn't like foreigners, nor the religion
of foreigners. Small wonder The gracious
Queen OF England and Empress of India forced
the Chinese to buy opium when they didn't
want to. The gracious Queen employed her
Indian subjects in raising the opium plant IN
stead OF grain. Sequel: The Queens subjects
of India die of starvation, and large number
of people of China are brutalzed through the
opium habit. China doesn't want our religion,
because theirs is superior, judged from what
they see, and they don't want foreigners, be-
cause foreigners always brought them trouble of
some sort. The aggression of foreign govern
ments is the mother of the Boxers Possibly
the leaders OF the Boxers are in the pay of the
foreign governments. The Christian and
highly civilized governments wanted preteXt
for stealing Chinese territory. The Boxers af-
forded the pretext. We can see that it is any
worse for the Chinese TO amuse themselves than
! for us,
