 These calls. signed by Treasurer Smith. were sent out by T. J. Rutledge. the re- gently appointed State Bank Examiner. The Issuance of this call formally starts the machinery of the State banking act which went into effect January 1st- The law provides a penalty for any bank which falls to comply with this call for the stateAfent The law provides that any bank failing to comply with the law shall be subject to a fine of $50

 The railroads of India cover a mileage

 ber of inspectors and auditors. Three ex.
 perts. with a small stan, arc considered
 by MT. Robertson capable of performing
 duties of about the same character as
 those for which in England are employed 1000 amateur directors. with their sec retaries and assistant secretaries, account ants, auditors, clerks, messengers, etc. If only half the sum of Si. 600 year paid away annually in fees to railway di- rectorS were available for a centralized 1 railway board, it would be possible to attract the ablest men by offering the largest known salaries, and yet make a 1 saving.

 The consolidation of American roads has gone much further than in Britain. The | Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania systems contain about 3o.OOO miles each, either one of them nearly equaling the 22,OOC miles of all England.

Roosevelt Ran Ahead of His Ticket In
North Carolina.

The most interesting fact brought
to light in the canvass by the State
Board of Elections yesterday was
that Parker for President ran at
least 1900 behind Glenn for Cover
nor, while Roosevelt runs ahead of
Harris, the Republican candidate for
Governor, by about 1900. The exact
figures in the vote for Presidential
electors cannot be given for the rea-
son that there are no returns n
President from Cherokee County.
Roosevelt carried only %, MOVIE zer,
of the 81 counties. Only two coun-
ties went for the Republican Presi-
Dental candidate and for the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor; they
were Tyrrel and Davidson.
The total vote for Presidens vas:
Parker (Dem.), 124,108; Roosevelt
(Rep.), s2,372; Swallow (Pro.), 361;
Watson (Pop.), 819; Debs (Social-
ist), 124. (The unofficial returns
from Cherokee were added in these
Atotals.) This gives Parker a major
ity over Roosevelt of 41,736, while
Glenn had a majority of 1926 over
Harris. a difference in maiorities of
$500.
Hon. S. L. Patterson, for Commits
sioner of Agriculture, led the Demo
cratic ticket. He received 129,040
votes. /. M. Meekins, for Lieuten-
ant-Governor, though receiving much
less than Roosevelt, led the Republi-
can State ticket. His vote was TO-

Baptist State Convention

The Baptist State Convention met
in Elizabeth City last Thursday.
The Convention organized by re-
electing DIR. r. III. Marsh president
for the thirteenth time, and N. B.
Broughton and III. G. Moore secre-
taries. j. M. Stoner, Asheville; E. F.
Aydlett. Elizabeth City, and T. M.

elected were: Treasurer, Walters
Durham, Raleigh; assistant treas
urer. j. ". Stoner, Asheville; audi
tor, F. II. Brieos, Raleigh; CORE
spending secretary, Livingston John
son, Raleigh.
The reports made to the Conven-
ton indicate most gratifying prog
ress In all lines of endeavor. Since
last years report there has been a
gain of Twenty-Five churches, with
a net gain in membership of 4,779.
The Baptists this year have raised
Sill 900 for all purposes, against
$97,000 during 1903, a gain of $14,-
600. Some of the most notable OBJ
jects and amounts are $4,000 for
State Missions against $4,000 last
year; $1s,50O for Foreign Missions
against $4,000 for the previous
year; $500 for Home Missions
against $500 last year; 2 1000 for
the Townsville Orphanage, an in
crease of $4,000. There are 1875 mis-
sionaries in the State and 1000 ,on-
versions under their ministry. Fifty
young men preparing for the minis
try are receiving aid at Wake Forest
College by the Board, as against

too much legislation than fear of
too little. Now, that our State has
SO excellent a corporation law, that
is a law under which corporations
may be organized, no bill ought to
be passed incorporating any com
pany that can be incorporated UNI
der our general incorporation law.
Heretofore too much time In all our
Legislatures has been consumed in
the consideration of bills to incor-
porate all kinds of companies. Let
the next Legislature institute a re-
form In this respect, and devote its
entire time to the consideration of
measures of a public character and
that will benefit all the people. One
thing that the Legislature will not
do, and that is take any backward
step in temperance reform. The OPP
position made their campaign chiefly
against the Watts law, and the geo
pie have sustained that law by a
large majority-Chatham Record.
