Mr.. William H. High brother of Mrs.
V. G. Register, of this city, has been ap-
pointed one of the four Bank Commission
ers of California, by Governor George c.
Pardee.
The Oakland, California, Tribune, of
June so, 1908, containe the portraits of
the four commissioners, and a very COM
plmentary notice of our former towns
man, Mr.. High His friends will read
with pleasure the following, which we
quote from the Tribune:

the four-yea term.
Mr.. High is held in great esteem by
the banking men of Oakland and is re-
garded as a rising man in the banking
world. He has been personal friend of
Governor Pardee since boyhood"
Then from the editorial of the Tribune
We take the following:
The new Bank Commissioners are not
unknown or untried men.
They are men of character, reputa ton
and experience. In the communities in
which they reside they are all esteemed
highly.
Nearly everybody in Oakland knows
William H. High, who is appointed to one

His appointment came as surprise
To his friends. for Mr.. High has never
figured in politics, and it was known t.
only few that the Governor had hi
name under consideration. This appoint
ment is really due to the Governors per
sonal knowledge Of his merit"

IN ELIZABETH CITY
Splendid Crops, Much Money
and Going Straight Ahead.
Mr.. Walter cchoon Predicts That II is Going to
BE- the Greatest City of All North
Carolina.

LAS a result of good prices for white po-
tatoes the farmers of my section are more
prosperous than they have been since the
Civil War;, said Mr. Walter L. Cohoon,
of Elizabeth City, who was here on bust
ness yesterday.
He continued: Il know one farmer who
cultivates two-horse farm and who clear
ed twelve hundred dollars on potatoes this
spring. Those whose crop Melted five
hundred dollars are not few. All crops
are looking well and our farmers are
prosperous and contented. The problem
OF labor is perplexing one in some places,
but the majority of farmers have recon
ciled themselves to the situation by re-
duclng the acreage and doing their own
work This. with the adoption of i'm
proved agricultural machinery, l believe
to be the secret of successful farming IN
the future
The cashier of one of the banks OF
Elizabeth City remarked a few days since
that he had never seen money so plentiful,
especially with the agricultural GLASS;
There is little or no demand for money,
and it was the opinion of this cashier that
the rate of interest would have to be re-
duced The money lenders will be COM
PEELED to invest their capital In some
manufacturing enterprises. 1t is signifi-
can't fact, too. that there are few chattel
mortgages in my county"
In speaking of the rapid growth of Ehz-
abeth City, Mr.. Cohoon said: ''There are
few towns in North Carolina that are
growing more rapidly than Elizabeth iCty.
We have no boom. but steady, healthy
and substantial growth.
Within three months the suffolk and
Carolina Railroad will have trains entering
cur town. and with this we will have SUI
perior transportation facilities. This road
with four of the most prominent railroads
in the South. A Baltimore syndicate has
been given the franchise for waterworks,
sewerage and street railway. The pipes
tor the waterworks have been laid and
large force Is now engaged in laying the
sewer pipes. AS soon as this work is com
pleted the construction of the street rail
way will be commenced
Elizabeth City is destined to be the lar
gest town east of Raleigh. 1t is the ma
tural and inevitable metropolis of sixteen
counties of varied resources, and by rea-
son OF the varied resources our merchants
do not have dull season. If Congressman
Small succeeds in his efforts for the in
land waterway You may justly expect Eliz-
abeth City to be the largest city in North
Carolina

WATCH FOR FRAUDS
State Insurance Commission.
er Gives the Public q
Warning

Insurance Commissioner Young says he
has come in possession of letters and cir
culars from brokers residing out of the
State, in which they are attempting to
do business under the old Dodge" that
persons with whom they deal should rep
resent the Assured" and not them or
their companies. Any well informed ageTt
is well aware that this Dodge" will not
work, and that any attempt upon his
part TO work it even under the induce
ment Of receiving heavy commissions will
only result In his being prosecuted for vio-
latlon OF the Insurance Laws of his State
No reputable citizen or insurance agent
should desire to be party to placing
such insurance as is offered by these
brokers'
The companies named by them have
nearly all been published in nearly every
State of the Union by the Insurance De-
partments and branded as wild cats" and
frauds" Any agent representing them
becomes personally responsible for the
taxes and for the policies and lays him
self liable under the law of having his
licenses revoked for all companies and
subjected to fine and Imprisonment.
A letter from Messrs. E. A. Shanklin &
Co., of Chicago, has recently come into
the possession of the Insurance Commits
sioner, and it says this firm is Offering in
surance in the American Underwriters
the Great Western Underwriters, the Mer-
camille Insurance Company and the
Equitable Insurance Company. Three Of
which, at least, have been published in
the "Black List issued by the Insurance
Department, and were pronounced by the
recent National Convention of Insurance
Commissioners as wholly worthless There
is issued from this department bi-monthly,
list containing the names of all com
panies licensed by the department and
authorized to do business in the State. 1t
would be well for every insurer in the
State to refuse to take any policy unless
the company is shown to be upon this
list.
