THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Members of the North Carolina Bankers
Association, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Another year has come and gone.
Whatever its mistakes or successes, It's
trials or pleasures-it has gone forever
and the record has been made up. An
other year has past and we are here as
sembled for our seventh annual conven-
ton. What delight to the busy banker
to get away from his desk and spend a
few DAYS on the shore of the great At
lantic No more delightful place could
have been selected and we all feel grateful
to our Wilmington hosts for this oppor,
tunity of enjoying the cooling breezes OF
cd ocean.
1t is a matter of congratulation that
we find the affairs of the association IN
such healthy condition, and with the larg-
est membership in our history. The report
of the secretary and treasurer will give
full and detailed information and will not
be repeated here.
During the past year it has been neces-
sary to have two meetings of the Execu-
tive Committee. and at both sessions the
attendance was good-only one member
being absent at the last meeting. Con-
siderable work was transacted by this
committee and several very important
recommendations were made to the
Legislature, one of which was adopted,
but the most important failed during the
rush of legislation following the lengthy
prohibition discussion which occupied
practically the whole time of the Legis-

In theology we are pleased to see the
controversial spirit decline. The two
cardinal and coordinate doctrines that
most dominate the Christian world are
the Fatherhood of God and the Brother

SILVER IS BAD MONEY
Philippine Secretary of the Interior
Explains Disadvantages of Fluc-
.... tuating Currency. ..-7@

Washington, Oct. 29.--Professor
Dean G.. Worcester, secretary of the
interior Of the Philippine government,
was at the war department yesterday
in conference with Colonel Clarence
Edwards, chief of the 1nsular bureau,
in regard to Philippine affair.
He is interested in the currency de-
velopments in the Philippines and re-
marked to reporter. IF any Of the
free silver advocates had been in the
Philippines before the new currency
law went into effect and suffered from
the effects Of silver fluctuations there,
they would have been cured Of the
free silver idea" ~
| He explained that the discomfort Of
the teachers in the Philippines, grow
ing out Of their salaries being paid In
Mexican coinage, was not altogether
without reason, but added that every
one in the Philippines, from the gov
ernor, down, suffered from the evil eff
fects. of the, silver currency, system,
| Merchants did not like ii" he said.
because when they ordered goods
they could never tell whether the rise
of silver was going to affect the cost
| or not. The decline in silver at other
times would affect the employees, great
and small, and sometimes, when an
| official would receive his check, he
would find that it had greatly dimin-
| ished in value before he could get it
cashed. No one liked the arrange
ment, but it could not be helped. The
government was compelled to accept
payment of customs in the same money
and they had to make payments in
| the same way"
