HOW PREJUDICE AGAINST BANKS
ORIGINATES.

We printed in Sundays paper a clipping
from the Wall Street Journal, a stoR,-
about how New York banking house re-
quired the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company to pay sixteen per cent for
money for six months. 1t seems that
the chemical company sells its fertilizers
to the farmer on a credit and has sold
this year more than $40, O00. 900 worth. II
needed to borrow $6,OO0,0OO. Heretofore
it has been accustomed to discount the
notes of the farmers with the local banks.
This year they either could not do so or
preferred to get the money in one large
lump, and made application to giant
New York bank. The bank waited until
the storm broke on Wall Street. 1t saw
that the company was in such a position
that it must have the money and then
charged six per cent and in addition d
commission of ten per cent. The Wall
Street Journal says the company will not
need to use the money for which such an
usurious rate was charged, inasmuch as
lHc inteflOT DdIhS are again Attempting tht
farmers notes, and the Journal adds:
This is a fresh illustration of the weak
ness of many of our bankers Eager to
make money in flush times. they often
add Goals to the fire of speculation, and
augment the evil of promotion by
liberal advances of credit, just at the
time when conservatism would do the
most good by preventing a dangerous ex-
pansion. But when the reaction sets IN
they take fright, Just at the time when
courage is demanded, and becomes con-
servative,' just when liberal policy is
most needed 1t is not too much to say
that the banks themselves, or at least
many of them, create the very conditions
of panic which they dread, and for which
they are accustomed to blame Wall Street.
Is it any wonder that the prejudice
against banks, legacy of the ages, is SC
hard to get rid of, and that it Is now
one of the things which make currency
reform legislation so difficult to obtain
from Congress"

each year. If the winter and spring are
dry the principal catch is made IN upper
Albemarle and its tributaries. If much ice
and snow and rain during winter and
spring the best catch is in Croatan and
Pam1co. However more shad are shipped
from Roanoke Island wharf than any 9TH
er IN North Carolina, and this should be
so, because we haven't the farm lands that
the Albemarle section has, and if we don't
catch fish we have but little money.
Our fishermen have many ideas why
fish don't come here and go there, but the
conditions of the weather and water carry
fish to proper destination. l am taking
too much space, but l want to mention
another profitable matter in Dare county
and State of North Carolina, but the
profit Is for the Audubon Society, and
not for Dare, and 1 must give Mr. Pear,
son credit for CAPTIVATING the Legislature
and passing bill to put in the hands of
the Audubon Society many thousand dol
lars (not Dare and North Carolina) and
keeping out OF the State ten times as
much.

until the first of November, there are king

SELLING WHIsKEY on SUNDAY.
Three Bound Over to Court For This Cffense
Run Over by Automobile.
Especial to News and Observer

Durham, N. c., August H.
In the police court this morning there
were three charges for selling whiskey
on Sunday, these being the first since the
enactment of the very stringent whiskey
regulation. Frank Dixon had two charges
against him and Perry Hinton had to an
swer to one charge. The evidence was
such that they were sent over to court
and being unable to give bond were com
mitted TO jail Since the enactment of
the new whiskey laws the police have
been very vigilant to see that the laws
were observed. The result has been that
many did not get their Sunday whiskey
on Saturday night and where there is n
demand it is usually filled-the illicit
whiskey selling has been doing business

the negro, who swore out the warrant
failed to make case.
This morning Henry Thomas, white,

A MORNING TONIC.
(Chesterfeld.)

The temptation of saying smart or
witty thing or bon mot, and the malicious
applause with which it is commonly re-
ceived, has made people who can say them
and still oftener people who think they
can, but cannot, and yet try-more ene-
mics, and implacable ones, too, than any
other one thing that l know of. 1t is a
decided folly to lose friend for jest;
but, in my mind. it is not much less
degree of folly, to make an enemy of an in
different neutral person for the sake of
a bon mot
