THE WAY TO SELL BONDS.

Forsythe county is to be congratu-
lated on the successful placing of
$4,000 of refundng bonds at pre-
MUM of five dollars per hundred. The
bonds take the place of an issue
which was bearing six per cent inter-
est and which was, of course, beinS
gladly carried by the local hanks.
Says the Winston Journal:
.8rhe bonds were disposed of by the
board of commissioners. or. more cor
rectly, by Mr.. M. ID. Bailey, chairman
of the board, to Albert Kleybolte q
Co, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at 105, net
ting a profit Of $3.50 and saving the
county commission charges that
would have been paid had the bonds
been placed through bond brokers'
The only charge incident to the trans
action was $50 for lithoGraphlng the
bonds"
Forsythe has the correct idea of
the manner in which to dispose of the
bonds necessary to carry out the i'm
provements which are needed from
time to time by the counties 100
many. counties have in the past re-
lied on bond dealers who mace Die
profits on the purchase of the issues,
while supposedly acting Us the phllan-
thropic benefactors of the community.
Every county has it's good business
man like Mr.. Bailey who can dispose
of its evidences of Indebtedness to the
best advantage without calling i'll nc
aid Of an expert whose bnslA"ss is
to traffic in the bonds for his own
profit.
The experience of the Cleveland
endless chain" with Morgan as the
load-stone Of the peoples money, is
yet an example full of meat.

ed, thus made, thus derived and thus
invested, and all exempt by the law.
'"They not only own trust companies
and banks and railroads and telegraph
lines, but they control Legislatures.
They control Congress.
No man could have said it better.
And what does it mean? 1t means that
the great insurance companies are the
masters of Wall Street as we'll as the
arbiters of the fortunes of the individ-
ual. 1t means that the towering sur
plus, useless except in the hands of
greed, not only unwarrantedly limits
the provision which the man of ordi-
nary affairs may make for his family,
but exerts an unguarded and mallGn
influence in the nerve centre of bust
ness which at the nod of one of the
puppets in control may be thrown into
q CONFUSION which will destroy thous-
ands of homes and render nugatory
the efforts of hundreds of lives of in
dustry. Unjust as it may be the COM
munity may survive the constant small
drain entailed by too-high insurance
rates. The greater danger lies IN the
power of the vast sums which are ac-
cumulated at it's expense. Twenty
million dollars, waved like a cudgel
over the head of Wall Street, may
easily create financial chaos. And the
pity of a panic is that the burden falls
on those who know not whence comes
the mystery of their undoing. The
so,o a
storm and flee, may tag on to destiny,
even, and get rich; but the man with
a mortgage that cannot be renewed by
reason of the panic suffers his all and
knows not Why
The trust companies of which Mr..
Choate speaks, the railroads to which
he refers, these are the controlling fac
tors of values Values mean prosper
ity or despair. With SURPRISES of a
hundred million and more wrung FROM
the people, with the chain Of their
money lending institutions, the unwCr-
thy trustees of these riches sWeated
from the soil control the values and
thereby the people.
Hence according to those who
swing for peppermint to the apron
strings of wealth, is it scandalous and
socialistic to plead that the State
should take in charge the business of
guaranteeing to its citizens reasonable
protection against death at just pre-
MUM rate, which will protect the in
sured and not create weapon for the
insurer!

Spirit of the Press

Farmers Should Not Lose One Cent.
Wilmington Dispatch.
If the many reports be true about
the congestion of the strawberry
movement to such an extent that Sutti-
cient cars nave not been obtained in
order to ship all the berries North it
is certainly up to somebody to recon-
pense the farmers for their loss. The
Atlantic Coast Line states that it is
prepared with both engines, schedule
and Workmen to make che shipments
promptly, but that there has been a
lack of refrigerator cars. This is not
only reasonable. but bears every evil
dence of being facts. for the Armour
Car Line is supposed to furnish the
refrigerator cars and if they do not do
so the Coast Line certainly cannot
send the berries forward in box cars
or on fiat cars.
The matter is a serious one. espcci-
ally as the Armour Company makes
hundreds upon hundreds of dollars
out of the truck movement, and should
be investigated. The farmers shoul i
not lose one cent
