Ky ILLUSTRATION.
or What Can BE Done by Local CapI.a al
1.-THE Citizens Will Wcrk Together
For The Public Good Wight
Profit Ia This Way.

Heaven helps those WHO help
themselves" is as true now as when
the old maxim ~as made. As long
as the South waited for Northern
capital to come down AID develop
il the waiting was in vain. But
when few men Of enterprise began
TO put their savings together and in
vest, their energy aud cash in man
ufactures IL was not Tong until fac
tories began to spring up on every
hand. Then the Northern capital.
ist began to see the opportunities in
the South he saw the people them
selves making large profits, aud he
fastened 10 buy Southern sccuu-
ties and put his money Into south
ern enterprises.
There Is not oven now nearly so
much outside capital invested in
Southern industries as is generally
supposed, the people OF that section
owing and operating most Of their
factories. And this has been of
great advantage to the people. as
the profits remain at home instead
of going to outside investors.
A striking example Of the self
made town is High Point in the
northern part of North Carolina.
Only few years ago High Point
was typical village, sleepy, ordi-
nary trading post, where the farmers
sold their produce bought their
dress goods and clothes and a good
part of their supplies. But there
were a few men who were not sat
ished with such a existence. There
was plenty of good timber near by.
They put there surplus cash together
and started a small furniture fac
tory with a few thousand dollars
capital. Good, cheap furniture
was ia demand, aud it was sue
cess from the start. The profits
were large. and the factory soon
paid for itself.
Others saw there was money to
be made, and ia short time other
factor IS were built. Skilled work.
men were carried there, and the
quality Of the product improved
year by year. One by one other
branches were added. Now High
! Point is one Of the largest furniture
making points in Uuited States. 1t
has fifty-two establishments that
turn out wood products. Chairs OF
every kind. from cane bottom
to handsomest upholstered;
lounges, settees, tables. sideboards,
sofas, trunks, collins, hall racks,
showcases, counters, desks and al
most everything in the furniture
line is made there and shipped To
every part Of the country Ia.
town has waterwoIks, electric lights,
fine public shool system, a hand
some, illustrated furniture journal
and hotel that would do credit to
large city.
This Grand Rapids of the
South" only shows what many
town can do if its business men arc
progressive and enterprising- The
men Of High Point have not only
reaped personal wealth. bur have
the satisfaction OF knowing that they
have built a lively and important
little city. Baltimrr r: Sun.

IN Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, March, 10, 1905.
After twenty four years service in
the Senate, broken in health but
vigorous in intellect, Senator Vest
retires to private life an optimist.
"Our people are just as homes, and
patriotic as in the days of the Revo-
luton, and as willing to make as
many sacrifices tor their country"
he said recently; "But they are too
busy to spend much time with the
heroic and sentimental" he added
Referring to Senator Germans re-
turn to the leadership of the Demo
Gratis in the Senate Mr.. Vest said,
al think Mr.. German would accept
the presidential nomination if il
were rendered to him but il the
tariff question were to become the
paramount issue his views on that
subject would become a serious OBJ
stacle to his nomination. There
are, moreover, two important rea-
sons why the Democrat candidate
shoald come from New York state.
First, the nomiee should conrtol the
electrol vote of that state; second,
Mr.. Roosevelt is almost certain to
be nominated and should be con-
fronted with an opponent from his
own state" Referring to president
Roosevelt, Mr.. Vest said he regard
ed him as the strongest candidate
in the Republican party. Speak
ing of the removal of the tariff
on coal he said it had forced the
Republicans to adult that the re-
moval OF the tariff caused a lower
ing of prices, something they had
disputed in the past.

The Senate is still In session and
little progress has been made in the
ratification of the treaties now pend
ing. Senator Morgan has convinc-
ed many Democrats that it would
be unwise for the United States to
accept the Panama treaty as it now
stands and two amendments are pro-
posed, one providing that this
country shall exercise complete
sovereignty over the zone of land
through which the canal is to pass,
the other striking out the provision
that the United States shall not in
crease its territory at the expense
OF Columbia or any other South
American republic. The latter
clause is claimed to be extraneous
and in apropos to the convention.
The Republicans cannot ratify
either treaty without some Demo.
cratic votes. The Senate now stands
81 to 80 and Senator Bard Will not
vote for the Cuban treaty, THEREFORE
1t would require four Democratic
votes to ratify that convention and
three to approve the Columbian
agreement. The Democrats also
believe that on constitutional
grounds the Cuban agreement should
contain a provision that its terms
are not to go into operation until
enabling legislation has been passed
by both houses Of Congress. If
these amendments are agreed to
both treaties will be ratifiated an
early date.

INl1RDIATE EFFECT.
Customs colIectors InstFYcted TO Put
In Force At Once Law TO Adj
mit Coal Free.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE treasury
department Friday received an official
certified copy of the act approved
Thursday placing coal on the free list.
Upon its receipt, the department tele-
graphed the necessary instructions to-
collectors of customs throughout the
country directing them to put the act
into immediate effect. The telegram
reads as follows: admit oil coal inn
ported on or after the 18th inst. free
of duty under the act of the 18th inst.
Copy by mail"
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries Friday directed that sub
committee of five be appointed to begin
investigation into the subject OF coal
transportation which the house has au-
thorized the committee to make. 1t
is probable that this subcommittee will
first go to Boston to take testimony.
Hearings also will be held in Washing
ton by the remainder of the committee.
The list of witnesses to be summoned
has not yet been prepared.
London, Jan. 1.-THE remission OF
the coal duties by the United States
congress still appears to have little or
no effect on the British market. 1t is
realized here that America will never
become permanent customer fol Eng
fish coal and that shipments to the
United States will cease the moment
the American supply overtakes the
demand. At present there are only
two American orders on the Cardiff
market, as compared with at least a
dozen fortnight age, and even inquiry
for cargoes has slackened.
Paris, Jan. 17.-United States Consul
General Gowdy says it is not likely
that any French coal will be shipped
to the United States as result of the
action of the American congress in
placing coal on the free list. The
French mines are unable to meet the
demands of the home market. Many
large factories and railroads are com
PEELED to bring in Welsh and Belgian
coal of poor grades. French coal sells
normally at above the present Ameri-
can rate. so that there is not sufficient
inducement for French producers to
seek an American market.

Jury Finds Louis A. Dssbrow Not
Guilty of Murder Of Clarence Fss-

Riverhead, L. l., Jan. 1s.-Louis A.
Disbrow was acquitted Friday on the
charge of killing Clarence Foster at
Good Ground on the night of June Q.
The verdict was reached by the jury
after brief elaboration. The case for
the tion~throughout was weak,
the strongest point made against the
accused being that he was the last per-
son seen with Foster and Miss Law
renee on the night of the tragedy.
The contention Of the defense was that
Foster and the girl committed suicide.
District Attorney Smith said after
the prisoner had been discharged that
he would not move to trial the indict-
ment charging Disbrow with the death
of Miss Lawrence.
