The LiberaIity of Carolina Laws is
Inviting Capital to Develop the
Vast Resources and Light
mate Industries of the
North Stale.

One OF the busiest places in North Car
DINA is the office of the Secretary of
State. The work in the Secretary OF
States office has vastly increased in the
last year or two, but it has been syste-
matted, modern improvements introduced
and business dispatched with promptness
and accuracy
Secretary of State j. Bryan Grimes was
seen yesterday by News and Observer
reporter and made the following state
ment regarding the work in his office:
The office for the year ending NJ
vember 80, 1903, issued 423 grants, for
which it paid to the treasurer $4,540.25
as against $3,S6792 in 1902, $3,043.96
in 1901.
1.-The grants now being issued are
generally for entries made under the
old law and for land sold by the State
at 1912 and Is cents per acre. All land
entered since March g. 1903, very few
grants for which have yet been issued,
will be sold at so cents or more an
acre, which should considerably in
crease the revenues from that source.
THE increased values of land from
the general business Improvement,
rise in. values of agricultural products
and lumber and mining development
in Western North Carolina, has caused
a great movement of land sales and
the time of Mr.. Norwood, the chief
clerk, is almost entirely consumed in
searches" for old grants, etc.
THE sales of Supreme court reports
have increased the amount received
from them for the year ending Deem
Der l. 1908, being s5,071.31; sales for
1902, s3,64S.25; 1901 S3,37S.64; 1900,
$3,219.55.
"'There have been 554 certificates tor
domestic corporations filed in the or
flee of the secretary of State for the
past year, on which an organization tax
of over SIT 900 has been paid into the
treasury These corporations repre-
scented $48,790,150 authorized capital
stock, and $15,771, 400 subscribed to
commence business on.
''The business men of the State ana

German SuruD

We want to impress on our readers
that Boscbee's German syrup is
positively the only preparation OIL
the market to-day that does relieve
and cure consumption. 1t contains
the specifics, such as pure tar, ex-
racts of gums, etc, which have been
SO highly endorsed for the cure of
coughs, colds and consumption by
the great medical congresses. The
consumptive whether his disease is
in his throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, and be free from the
the spasms of dry and racking cough
in the morning. The diseased parts
want rest, healing and soothing treat
ment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food, etc. German syrup
will give free and easy expectoration
in the morning with speedy and
permanent relief. Small bottles, %
cents; regular size, containing nearly
four times as much, IS cents. At
all druggists.

SUCH IS THE

An indispensable adjunct to the
man OF business, the financier, manu-
facturer, producer, tradesman, farmer

All need certain facts and know
ledge Of affairs that pertain to each
ones calling in life.
More especially, now, during the
great onward march our country is
making towards wealth and power,
science and literature, mechanism and
products Of the soil.
The wide awake gathers dollars
where lagards earn cents. The en-
terprising newspaper that brings know
ledge OF the worlds doings is the
main prop and capital of the money
maker. Without the aid of a paper,
like the. ENQUIRER, one becomes the
victim of his more enterprising neigh
Dor. The information the ENQUIRER
brings you for few cents costs thou
sands of dollars to obtain. You need
the ENQUIRER, and we want your
patronage because deserving of it.
The DAILY ENQUIRER is the best all
around newspaper in the United

ranks as one of the ablest weekly
journals in the land, and serves the
average town and country masses
faithfully in reliable and profitable
manner at $500 a, year, while the

The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, GUS
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from B. c. 293, when a SUM-
dial was erected in the temple otRuiri-
nus at Rome Previous to the invention
Of water clocks, B. C. 15S, the time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one eXpedient Of meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning an hour. The first per-
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. ID. 1850. Day began ar
sunrise among most of the northern ma
lions, at sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, at midnight among the Ro-
mans, as with us.

Ask "Why 2"

If boys could learn ut school all about
education, that would only leave them
very dull persons. The object OF their
education at school is to give boys men-
tai alcrtness and an eternal curiosity,
and its real test is whether it leaves
them always saying 10 themselves,
"Why?' l do not know whether you
have ever thought about it, but all the
great discoveries of the world have
come because some one has asked that
question. The records of industry show
nothing more clearly than that all real
mental skill depends on asking queS-
tions. The answer is sure to follow.
The real mental capacity is not dis
played by the man who answers the
question, but by the man who asks it,
