The CataIog Habit.

The following article, taken from
the Great Falls Tribune. is timely and
applies with equal force to the people
of Bottineau and vicinity: This is
the season of the year when the cat ia
logs from the eastern mail order
houses are pouring into the mail be xes
of our citizens on one hand and the
money order clerk is kept busy on the
other hand sending money earned in
Great Falls east to purchase goods that
could have been purchased just as
cheaply et the local merchants store in
Great Falls. It is continual aston
ishment that the people will fall vic.
Tins to the catalog habit 1t is true
that the smart publisher of the catalog
assures his readers that he is able and
willing to save him many dollars in
the price of the article advertised.
But mail order houses have bee n
known to lie, and the chances are a
hundred to one that your local mer.
chant will be able to satisfy you of
that fact if you will only take that
catalog with you, call at his store,
point out the article that seems so
cheap to you. and ask him to dupli-
ate it to you in quality and price,
1t is true that many of these mail or
der; houses buy in vast quantities, but
it is also true that they ale under an
Eerormous expense. and the customer
pays the freight in every sense oE the
word. The home merchant has The
adva ntaga in freight rates on carload
basis, and lower expenses for trans
acting business But don't take our
word for it. Make out you order
from the mail order catalog if you
xviii. but before you send the order
way take it to Great, Falls mer-
chant and ask him if he can do as
we'll by you. We have known of sew
eral instances in which man has been
permanently cured of the catalog habit
by doing this very thing. They found
they saved no money in the long run
by sending it out Of town. for where
there might be few items suspic-
iously cheap in the list. in the sum
total the home mechant was quite
low. While the Tribune would be
glad to serve the interest of the home
merchant at any time that is not the
moving impulse Of this little sermon.
We want to see the town build up be-
cause in the process it will build up
the newspaper and its customers. The
prosperity of the merchant, the news
paper and the wage earners of the
town are all tied together by ties that
cannot be broken. They have unit
of interest in the broad sense: Any
man with broad mind can see that
fact. BY leaving your money at
home you help yourself, 1t is we'll to
remember the fact as the Christmas
season draws near. Great Falls Tri-
bune.

Out at Minot the supply of soft coal
ran out, and the electric light plant
was put out of business. It would
seem that Minot would be good
place to run an electric light plant
with Ignite. Surely there should be
some means of operating plant
with Ignite as near the mines as
Minot.

time ago by Architect Ross Of Grand
Forks. aad will have to be torn down.
Mr.. Johnson who lives on the next lot

| has moved out of his home fearing
that the walls would collapse. It is
too bad that this should be the case,
as Mr.. PERRIN has been to great ex
pense in putting up the building and
will be greatly inconveninced and put
to great loss if the building has to
lie torn down.
One Alex Montbriand, who has
been working around Willow City for
several years, skipped out one day
last week and left his family entirely
destitute. The city is looking after
them. There are also several other
cases of destitution in town that the
county will have to care for; and all
are caused by the shiftlessness, drunk
eness and general worthlessness of the
heads of the various families. Some
years ago Col, Creel. who was at that
time a member Of the North Dakota
Senate, introduced a bill providing
that certain classes of men and women
ought to be- rstraineed from being
married. In general way no better
or more meritorious measure was ever
introduced into any legislative body.
Had it become law it would have
gone far to eliminate the criminal and
pauper class from our splendid com
monwealth: and the more one studies
the question of our pauper and crim,-
nal population the more apparent be,
comes the wisdom of that measure.

Essay On Horse.

The following remarkable essay on
the horse is said to be from the pen Of
All Indian student:
"The horse is very noble quadru-
ped, but when he is angry he will not
do so. He is ridden on the spinal
cord by the bride and sadly the driv-
cr places his foots on the stirrup and
divides his lower limbs across the sad
die and drives his animal to the mead
ow. He has four legs; two are on the
front side and two are afterwarl.
These are the weapons on which he
runs. lie also defends himself by ex-
tending those in the rear in PARALLEL
direction toword his foe, but this he
does only when in n vcxatious mood.
There is no animal like the horse. No
sooner they see their guardian or mas
ter than they always cry for food; but
it Is always at the morning time. They
have got tails but not so long as the
cow and other such like animals. D.

HAS BORROWED LITTLE,
High Levy for 1905 Brought Much
Money In--High Valuation Will
Bring in More.

The State.
The State of South Carolina will
owe less at the end of this year than
III many previous years. Under the
law only $4,000 can be borrowed in
one year to meet debts that are con-
tracted and cannot be met by the tax
money received. Up to this year the
full amount has had to be obtained
from banks in the North, but this
time only $325,000 was borrowed,
which means considerable saving in
interest.
The reduction can be partly ac-
counted for by the raise in the tax
levy in 1905 which was the money
used this year. For the present year
the levy was put back at its fromcr
figure and until the returns from the
auditors commence to come in it was
thought that next year would mean
that the State would have to go back
to the cid way and borrow the full
amount in 1907.
The returns, however, indicate an
enormous increase in the valuation
OF property and when all the counties
arc heard from there arc indications
that business may be conducted on q
cash basis next year. Two returns
received by the comptroller general
showed increases of 12 and Is per
cent. respectively.
The total valuation in Lexington
of all property for 1905 was $4,194,-
2GG5 and for 1906 is $4,S19,954, a gain
Of $624,2s9.
ri In Aiken county, where the assess
nents have always been high, the val
sjuation Of property in 1905 was &c.
Sl26,740 and for 1905, $1o,262, 842, a
gain Of $1,136,109.
Other counties have shown gains
fully as great, especially in the Pee
Dee Dee section Of the State, where, it
as said, the land has always been
placed at a low valuation up to the
present year. The fact that the State
did not provide a flexible levy as ad-
5gocatel by the comp Tor general,
prevented even fuller returns, bul

GLADDEN. ON RACE PROBLEM,
He Suggests that the Negroes be Civ
en- States in the South and Left
to Work Out Their Own Sal
vation.

Associated Press.
Oberlin, O., Oct. 25.-Before the
American Missionary Association in
! session here. Rev. Washington Glad
den, of Ohio, discussed the "Amcri-
can Missionary Association and the
Problems Of Emancipation saying
in part:
"The legacy left us by emancipa-
tion is the care Of the negro race in
the United States. It is a national
problem. The burden Of this obliga-
tion rests upon the whole nation, as
many Of the wisest Southern men in
sist.'
"The problem rs it confronts us,
involves the principles on which our
nation is founded. It is we'll stated
in the words of Carl Schurz, 'There
will be movement either in the dir
ection of reducing negroes to the per-
manent condition Of serfdom, the con-
dition Of the mere plantation hand,
alongside mute-practically without
any rights Of citizenship; or move
ment in the direction of recognizing
him as citizen in the full sense of
,hc term
"Such a movement rs that describ-
ed in the first alternative is now in
full progress. In the South conditions
are rapidly becoming more unfavora-
bic to the negro. The manifestoes of
Governor Var1man, which some time
will be endorsed by the people of the
State, and the recent campaign III
Georgia, in which the candidates most
cquivocally favoring the repression of
the negro was overwhelmingly elect
ed, show that drift of opinion in that
section.
"Senator Tillman s prediction that
race struggles Of very bitter nature
were likely to be frequent and contin-
uous in the future is not without prob
ability. I can see no other outcome
of strife of this nature than the ST.
grcgation Of the races"
Hc favored creating three or four
states in the South composed wholly
of negroes, governing themselves and
represented in Congress at Wishing
ton.
The blacks, he said, would suffer by
being thrown OH their own resources
in their poverty and it would take
them several generations to work out
the problem Of civilization. To the
whites, the prosperity in which they
are now rejoicing would suffer Sc
yer, perhaps a deadly blow.

EXAMINE IMMIGRANTS.
Conditions in North Carolina Cause
Government Officials to Be-
come More Vigilant.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Apparently
trouble is in sight for Commissioner
, Watson's shipload of immigrants
when they land at Charleston on No
vember. 2, and it may be that a
number Of them will be required to
return home.
The trouble that is expected is due
to the fact that during the last two
weeks immigration officials have been
investigating the case of Hilda Bar
mes, n young English girl, who came
to the United States under promises,
it is alleged, by ronrneont"tivcs of cot
ton mills at Gastonia and Charlotte,
N. c., that she would receive big
wages. She was said to have been Of
a party Of twenty who went to North
Carolina. She had no money when
she arrived, as was the ease with the
other members of the party. She be-
came dissatisfied WI. ,cr lot, and
then became Il charge on the country.
Private detectives have been in
North Carolina for two weeks and a
report filed with Commissioner Sar-
gent by them today indicates that
many men high ZIP in offical life in
that state have been "niltv Of violat-
in~ th" immigration laws and arc sub
jcct to arrest
So serious has the situation become
in view Of the early arrival of many
immigrants Mt Charleston that Com
missioner Sargent left last night for
Charlotte with D. A. Tompkins ana
other prominent men from that place,
WHO we're mere sc,,ciuay in confer
cnce with the commissioner and Sccrc-
tary Metcalf Of the department OF
Commerce and labor Mr.. Sargent
will take the matter in hand personal
ly and will make q more thorough
investigation of the facts set out in
the report of the special agents.
This trouble will undoubtedly cause
the immigrants soon to land at Char
lesion considerable embarrassment
and will result in more careful
scrutiny than otherwise would have
been the ease. 1t now appears that
many Of the new arrivals at Charles
ton will not be allowed to proceed to
other parts Of the state until they
have been held sufficient time to
convince the immigration officials
th"t y" fcl,n a"hc,nc IS being worked
OIL the bureau. Mr. Sargent will in
vestigate conditions fully while away,
not only in North Carolina, but in
other parts Of the South, and will pro-
cecd to Charleston to be on hand be-
fore the Wittckind arrives.
The immigration bureau considers
the North Carolina case as mfortun-
ate for Watson, rs it will undoubtedly
cause many Of the immigrants to be
rejected who otherwise would have
been allowed to enter but for this oc-
currence.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-10-30

the start has been made in the right
direction, and there is a general de-
sire on the part of county auditors to
abide by the resolutions adopted at
their convention here last year, when
it was decided to rigidly enforce the
law. Returns arc not yet made at the
full value, but it is thought that with
changes recommended in the tax laws
this can eventually be done and all
property epualized.
