What State Are You From?

community is the basis OF our patriot
ism.
South Carolina and California, Ken
tucky and Massachusetts, Ohio and
Virginia have probably q stronger in-
dividus ity than any other states in
th,- Uni.,n. on account of the greater
pride of their sons and daughters in
what they have accomplished snd
what they have sacrificed for the
nation.
The people of Kansas, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and lows have every reason to be
proud of the place those states have
made for themselves among the COM
monwealths which compose the nation,
and should manifest that good opinion
by voting in the contest now being
carried on by the RECORD.

Rare Presence Of Mind.

A. c. Jensen returned home Tuesday
afternoon from Denver where he at
tended the Christian Endeavor Con-
vention last week. Mr.. Jensen was in
the big Endeavor tent when it was
blown down in the windstorm last
Monday afternoon, and says there vas
no stampede on the part of the audience
As is usually the case where large
bodies Of people are threatened with
disaster. He says he never saw people
SO cool under such circumstances, =
fact that he attributes to the superior
intelligence of the Endeavorers and to
the presence of mind Of the leaders.
Mr. Jensen remarked to the writer
yesterday that he had witnessed several
great disasters on sea and land but
that he had never seen so quiet and
orderly a crowd under conditions of
that character As he did at Denver last
Monday afternoon.

City Directory
Work Progress.

The work on the new city directory,
to be issued from the REcoRp office, is
now we'll urder way and a preliminary
city has shown to a certainty that suf-
ficient encouragement will be given
this enterprise to warrant the publish
ers putting out as good, If not better
directory, than that of last year. Not
a man has been found but that admits
that new directory is necessity
every year. owing to the frequent
changes in Canon Oity's residents to
say nothing of the numerous changes
in the downtown district.
The publisher of the city directory
takes great pride in::msking the Canon
book the peer of any issued in the
west, as far as completeness is con-
cerned, and as everybody admits it's
usefulness, the 1908 issue will no doubt
be patronized by every business and
professional man in the city. An at
tractive directory will be issued again
this year and as the book will be placed
in practically every business house in
the city and is consulted every day in
the year, thus anording a general cir
culation, shrewd merchants admit that
the advertisements therein are worth
all they cost Convincing evidence Of
this is found in the fact that the very
same patrons, who were prominent in
the directory year ago, and the yesr
before that, are again contracting for
spaces in which to keep their name be-
fore the buying public. II you have

HER CHILDRENS GUARDIAN.
Two Little Girls Each Receive
S1.133.66 Because of The Death of
Their Father.

In order that she might properly look
after the interests of her two young child
rem, Mrs. Hettie l.. Moody, formerly a
Miss Williams, of Franklin, who is now
residing at Youngsville, yesterday quail
fled before Clerk of the Court Russ as
guardian of Edna Vann, aged three years,
and Louise Irene, aged seven months.
This is because of the pro rata of $4,000
which goes to the children, this amount
having been received from the Southern
Railway as damages for the death of their
father, James r. Moody, an engineer,
killed in the fast mail disaster in Virginia
some time ago. Mrs. Moody and each OF
the children receive 81 1886 a piece, and
it is to account for the children's portion
that Mrs Moody becomes guardian. The
bond given is $4,66666.

band, Robert w. Taylor, deceased, and

IT'S RANGES NOW.
Can They be Taxed When Shipped
Into State to be Delivered.

Attorney General Gilmer returned yes
terday from New Bern, where he argued
in behalf Of the State in the case of the
Wrought Iron Range Company, of ST..
Louis, against the Sheriff of Pamlico
county, before Judge Moore. 1t seems
that the sheriff had seized certain ranges
belonging to the company for the pur-
pose of collecting the tax imposed by the
revenue law. of 1908, upon pedd'ers of
ranges, etc. The plaintiff company sued
out an Injunction to restrain the coliec-
ton of the tax, alleging tina the method
by which their business was conducted.
brought it within the protection OF the
Interstate Commerce Laws.
1t appears that the company employed
statesmen who exhibited a sample range
and took the note of the purchaser to be
void on condition that another agent of
the company should within thirty days
deliver to the purchaser range similar
in all respects to the sample exhibit. The
record disclosed the fact that the ranges
had been shipped into North Crolina be-
fore the orders were taken. and it was
contended in behalf of the State that this
feature of the transaction rendered it do
nestle business, and therefore, liable to
taxation. The company relied upon the
contended that they were protected by it
ard the law governing interstate COM
merce transactions. The case presented
some new features of the question of inter
State commerce regulations.

BEGGARED FGR DOWIE.
Zion City's Unfortunates. DowIe
Must Go on Witness Stand.

Chicago, Dec. 3.--John Alexander Dowle
will be put on the witness stand before
Bankruptcy Referee Sidney C. Eastman
ard under oath viii be required to an
swer all questions regarding the financial
affairs of Zion City.
Receivers Blount and Currier spent
most of the day at Zion City looking into
all accounts which they could find so
that they might prepare the report which
Judge Kohlsaat has asked for concerning
the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing the opera
ton of all industries belonging to Dowle.
The receivers, it was said tonight, have
found only about 10000 in both of Dowie's
banks. Judge Kohlsaat has told the re-
ceivers that he wants to know as soon
as possible whether the interests of al.
creditors can be protected best by carry
ing on the various enterprises IN Zion
City.
Investigation today showed that the
fuel supply of many of the families in
Zion City is reduced almost to nothing.
The extent to which the people of Zion
City have beggared themselves is shown
by a trip through the town. Many OF
the poorer people, tthS-men and women
who work in the factories; live in houses
of fiimsy construction. The walls of some
are merely strips Of tarred paper nailed
on wooden frames. Other houses are
simply tents made of canvas, while still
Others are combinations of tents and

following extracts are made:
November LIST, amount of cash in bank,

total in bank, $235.S2; withdrawn for in
cidental expenses and help extended to
the needy, $685. amount in bank De-

during the month of November, 98.
Aid was extended to 80 persons after
careful investigation. We have received
a great many old clothing at the office
this month. The superintendent would
like for this committee to give a vote
of thanks to the city physician, DR.. Nc
Geachy, and to the sanitary Inspector.
Captain T. P. Sale, for their kind assist
ance in our work of caring FOR the poor.
The superintendent, through the aid OF
Mrs. w w Smith and these gentlemen
mentioned, has sent three old ladies to
the county home. Superintendent of the
County Home Allen and Chairman Green,
of the county commissioners, have been
very kind to us in these matters. This
has been a month of hard work, and
many have been relieved who were suf-
fering.
The vote of thanks was extended by
the general committee at its meeting
yesterday.
