WHY AUTOMOBILES ARE UNPOPULAR
Machine Had No Respect for Even the
Sultan of Morocco

Machine Had No Respect for Even the
Sultan of Morocco.
Consul Langerman of Tangier. who
has been on leave of absence, gives
the following explanation of why Mu-
ley Abdul Azziz. Sultan of Morocco.
prohibited automobiles In his country.
"The French government presented
fine automobile to the Sultan. and
sent over an expert chauffeur to run
1t for him The potentate was charmed
by the new means of covering the
ground, and 1t looked as though horses
and state carriages would go to the
stable for good. But one day when
the Sultan was spinning along a road
the machinery got out of order, and
the carriage escaped from the chauf-
feur's control. Then a tire exploded.
and the steering gear refused to work.
The machine ran away The Sultan
called upon 1t to stop. but 1t refused
to obey. The chauffeur saw death
ahead whether the Inevitable accident
was fatal or not Then the machine
struck a rock. and both the Sultan
and the chauffeur were launched into
space, while the automobile turned
over with the wheels still spinning
The Sultan was not badly hurt. but he
limped back to town and sent the
royal sledge hammer to smash the
royal auto to royal smithereens. Then
he forbade by an edict. an order. a
ukase. a law, proclamation. and a
bull. that any of his subjects should
ever import or use an automobile"

In aomail town in one OF the CEN

DERBY German, who. because of the high
esteem In which he is held in the COM
munity. has been elected justice OF the
peace. says the New York Press. The
old gentleman was recently called upon
to decide most perplexing question.
One of his nsighbors is the possess
sor OF dog. The dog, although not
actually vicious, delights in running
out OF the gate and barking sayageiy
at passers-by. This had been the source
of real annoyance to the neighbors.
especially 10 one who vowed to get
even with the pesky critter." Re-
Gently this neighbor was returning
from a shooting trip, gun N hand. he
was set upon by the dog. whereupon he
raised his weapon and fred at the
brute. His aim was not very good, and
the dog ran yelping. minus his caudai
appendage.
The owner of the dog had his igh-
Dor hailed before the old justice on
charge Of cruelty to animals. and the
courtroom was crowded with the par
tisans of both men. The justice heard
the charge. and then the defense that
the dog was a dangerous animal and
menace to the neighborhood. The old
German thereupon cleared his throat
and delivered the dictum:
Der mamie has been guilty of
cruelty to animals" And one side of
the courtroom applauded the justice OF
the decision.
But der tog-he vas a vicious tog."
And the other side voiced Its approval.
Il will fine der man fife tollars." An
other murmur in the courtroom.
But will gife him anodder shot at

that was one OF ogr strong points. We
took him west and got up races in
the small towns and many a time he
won us $500 without showing better
than a 2:30 clip. While I acted as
driver my partner got up the side bets,
and we left trail of victims behind

opened a new season out in n Kansas

Mrs. c. Desmond and others recently
wrote to the District Commissioners,
protesting against the issue of a per-
nit to establish rag and junk shop

The ground of their protest was that
such shop made unsanitary surround

tagious disease and fire.

Buildings, has reported upon the COM
plant. making the following statement:
Examination has been made of prem

GOVERNMENT SEEKS
TWINE SUBSTITUTE
Desires Something That May Be Used
More Than Once in Tying
Letters.

For the purpose of considering devices
designed for use as substitute for
twine in tying packages of letters
Mr.. r. J. Wynne. Acting Postmaster
General. has appointed a committee
consisting OF Mr.. NJ. W. Louis, superin-
tendent division of postofiice supplies
the superintendent of the third division,
Railway Mail Service. ana Mr. Herbert
Thrall. superintendent of the eighth di-
vision OF the Railway Mail Service, for
the purpose of considering devices de-
signed for use as a substitute for twine
in tying packages of letters.
The Postofice Department spent dur
ing the last fiscal year something like
Sl2O,OO0 for tying twine. and the amount
TO nj! the ever growing demand is in
creasing very rapidly. The present sys-
TEN is not satisfactory. as the twine
wears out very quickly and is very sell
dom used oftener than once. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Wynne to substitute
some device that may be used a num-
Der OF times in tying letter packages

old style of tying them with twinc.
Upon the conclusion of their inycs-
tigation the committee is to report he
result 10 the Postmaster General, and

interests of the service. The committee
is ordered to convene d. the PostofHce

RETURN OF REVENUE
STAMPS BEING MADE
Large Quantities Turned Back to Postal
Department by People Who Had
Supply on Hand.

Congress at its last session passed a
law repeating the war revenue tax in
a great many instances. In this law
there is clause providing that persons
who had bought stamps in large guam
titles and who had any on hand when
the law became operative could turn
these stamps into the Treasury and re-
ceive in return the amount of the face
value of the stamps. These stamps
have been turned in by the wagon loads
and since July ! a large force has been
engaged in counting the millions OF
stamps returned.
The labor of checking the accounts of
those who were entitled to rebates was
almost as great as that involved in the
war bond issue. On this account only
recently has the department been ready
10 pay the claims. Commissioner Yerkes
announced the other day that the re-
? bates were 10 be made in few days
The Internal Revenue Bureau has cou-
sidered d total OF 10000 claims and they
are still reaching the department at the
rate of 1000 per day. The amount Of
these rebates thus far is estimated at
81, 100000 and the number of claims will
aggregate $4,000.
This operation will, It is thought.
cause an increase in the deficit in the
Treasury, which now amounts to over
sS,000,000 for the fiscal year. This will
in no way embarTass the Government,
however. as there is now on hand an
available cash balance OF nearly $685.

North Carolina for Roosevelt.

North Carolina Republicans are for
President Roosevelt, and the State con-
vention next week will enthusiastically
the declaration Of Senator Pritchard at
the Ebbitt yesterday on his return from
Oyster Bay. where he was the guest OF
the President The Senator was very
much pleased with his visit TO the Pres
ident. He found the President greatly
interested in his campaign.
When asked if he thought the State
convention would declare for Mr.. Roose-
welt as the Republican nomilee in 1904
Senator Pritchard said If there was any
need for such a declaration it would be
made, but he did not think such an in
dorsement in the best of taste. 1t would
provoke criticism. in his opinion. and
give his opponents an opportunity to
say that the Republicans of North Caro-
lima were making a bid for Federal pa
tronage.
Senator Pritchard says North Caro-
lima Republicans are sincerely for
President Roosevelt as the next nomi-
nee, and they will give him and his ad-
ministration Endorsement in the strong
est terms.
The President will in all probability
visit North Carolina early in Septem-
ber Senator Pritchard was on the
point of taking leave OF Sycamore Hill
when he learned that the President was
contemplating a visit to Chattanooga.
Tenn, September 8. where he has been
invited to be the guest of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen at .neir
biennial convention. The Senator at
once extended him an invitation to stop
in North Carolina on this trip. The
President said he had not fully decided
whether he would make the trip TO Ten
nessee, but that he was inclined 10 do
SO. He assured Senator Pritchard IL
he did he. would certainly visit North
Carolina, but he would only be able to
stop at one point. The selection of the
city he should visit was left to Senator !
Pritchard. and he promptly named
Asheville.
Senator Prltchard discussed with the
President the political situation in /
North Carolina and other Southern /
States. Senator Pritchard stated that /
he President was very much interested /
n building up the Republican party in
he South, and that he desires to see /
he Republicans in other Southern
states take the same lively interest in
POLITICAL contests as do the Republicans
n North Carolina. He desires to see
he Republicans in the States farther
outh on a footing with those in North
;arolina.
Another matter that was discussed
With the President is the vacancy. in the
'ourt of Claims. Senator Pritchard had
leard that a North Carolinian would
receive the appointment. The
Presidents reply was that both North

MONEY DEMAND NOT
BELIEVED SERIOUS
Treasury Department Ready to Aid Ma
tional Banks, But Necessity
Is Not Pressing.

The United States Treasury Depart
of the country, disposes of its surplus
money by placing it with national banks
throughout the country for business
uses. In this manner there is now de-
posted with the 500 designated banks
the greatest deposit in the history of the
country, excepting that in 1879, during
the refunding operations, when Secre
tary Sherman had $279, O00, 600 OF Gov,
ernment money in the hands OF the
banks which were aiding him in carry
ing out his measures. The amount now
on deposit in the various banks through
out the country is S12S,0OOOO0.
Although there appear to be signs OF
tight" money market in New York,
low reserves, big loans and demands
for currency from the interior, the
Treasury Department has not as yet
received any calls for help 1t stands
ready to go to the aid of the situation
at any moment, and its help can be rem
dered in one or all of three ways:
First. 1t can increase its deposits in
national banks. The sum of $2s 0G0, 900
is at hand for this purpose. without en-
croachment upon the $50 900, 600 avail
able CASH which the Treasury must
theoretically maintain as working
balance.
Second. II can buy bonds, and thus
put more money in circulation
Third. 1t can authorize an increase in
national notes up to and inclusive of
the premium value of the bonds de-
posted to secure circulation.
AS there has been no occasion for re-
sort to any of these expedients. Treas
ury officials are now hopeful that the
little furry of demand for crop and
speculation money may be easily
weathered.
