There IS danger tina. some supersan
guine people may be disappointed in
the results of the great Democratic
victory and the passing of the con-
stitutional amendment. To be sure,
ali adherents of Democratic principles
and all advocates Of white supremac y
share in the common joy at the peace
ful turn things have taken, and at the
prospect of brighter days IN North Car
oljna. But whoever thinks that be-
cause the amendment passed and we
are to have a white mans governmen
ne can find an easier time in making
bread or winning success, will be wo
fully mistaken. Personal effort and
persistent work are the only things that
tell for SUCCESS of any kind and who
ever depends on luck or good fortune
of any kind apart from what comes AZ
the result of honest labor, will hnd
himself left and lost In the race.
There is reason to believe that COM
petition will be sharper than it ever
has heen in North Carolina In certain
things. If you think of aspirations
tn puLIic office, in the future the man
and his character will have more to DO
with the question than ever before
here. In word, personal preparation
for the proper discharge OF Whatever
dntles one seeks to assume, is to be the

It is surprising how many persons
loosely regard their financial oh liga
tions. They seem to feel like all that
they can keep from paying out ls clear
gain. But such is not the case to the
Individual who follows uchc course,
to say nothing of the general conyen-
ience or rinconyenience of thes public.
For instance if Mr.. A owes Mr.. B
five do liars and tails to pay it when he
can, Mr.. B Is perhaps compelled to
dlsappolnt Mr.. c who in turn disap-
points Mr.. D and so On around the
circle--to number almost beyond
calculation. The truth is, when one
man pays his just debt he may thereby
make 1t possible for dozen others to
do likewise.

A GOOD THING.
EngIishFinanCiaI Circles Pleased
Over the Allotment Of Loan
TO the United States.

London, Aug. S.--The allotment of e5,-
100000 OF the esfO.oOO,OOO of the war loan
to the United States is received in the
higher financial world as good thing
for London in the present position OF the
English banks
The brokers and small investors, how
ever, severely, almost passionately, cr.-
ticise the chancellor OF the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, for privately
arranging for half of the so-called public
loan and allowing the investment plum"
TO go out of the country.
The Bank OF England advised Sir Mich
ael 10 accept the American offer which
was made early last week. through j. s.
Morgan q Co., and the Barings. the joint
takers pointing out this was an easy and
natural way TO bring I'm gold and save
exports 90 the United States in October
Otherwise the bank rate might have 10
he raised to five or six per cent and ex-
traordinary measures would have to be
taken 10 Increase the gold reserve.
The Barings Informed the Associated
Press that, though the loan was more
than subscribed in New York before the
agreement was closed with Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. II was not twice covered, as
IL was expected IL would be by the nego-
tiators here.
The Morgans said the Insurance COM
panies were large subscribers. and both
the Morgans and Barings said a large
portion of the millions would come in
gold. Two million pounds. IL is under
stood. is already engaged.
The critics OF the chancellor NJ the ex-
chequer point out that tho loan was worth
1910 per cent; that II was so excellent a
thing that every pound should have been
kept here. and that even " the American
offer was accepted. II should have been
done differently. and that TO ask for sub
scriptions to ton millions when FIVE mil
lions were already allotted was rather
tricky
Generally, however. there Is feeling
of satisfaction in financial circles. over
the easier money prospects.
