Comptroller Ridgeley recently made
some remarks applicable to officers of
banks who attempt to escape response
bility for bank wrecking. We wonder
if this applies to a Vice President,
director and president of debtor con-
Germ whose favors treble the ascertain
ed value of the borrowing concern.
Fortunately we shall be able to
ascertain the limitations of Ridgeley's
remarks.
To the layman in law and fakirism it
would appear that Ridgeley's remarks
either have no virility or apply to the
above case.
How fortunate that the matter is to
be cleaned up and give us better idea
of moral ethics as we'll as legal response
bility in the derelict officials of financial
institutions.
Rusk county has been putting up
some pretty mild weather for Novem-
Der.
Thereport that Banker walsh is to be
prosecuted will cause no little worry to
some other bankwreckers.

Value Of What Is Thought Rubbish
North Carolina became known as the
The Heel state because Of the maniac
ture of tar III that country. Allied with
the manufacture of tar is that of tur-
pentine. All the Atlantic aud gulf states
from Virginia to Texas are turpintine,
tar and resin producing states.
Formerly the turpentine was made by
rowing people who hacked into trees,
no matter to whom they belonged. Then
timber practically valueless and It's de-
struction through this process was
deemed of.little consequence. But con-
ditions have changed
With the increase in the value OF
southern pine the turpentine people
have been interrupted. The timber is
to be preserved and now the industry
has been transferred to dead timber, or
eight wood. Stumps are also being
used to some extent.
With the changed conditions the
retort system, otherwise Styled tde-
structive distillation'' is being adopted
in the south.
This is similar to the method outlined
in recent issue of the Ladysmith News.
This system is now in use on Norway
pine stumps and is very successful to
the owners of stump lands as we'll as
to those engaged in the industry.
The News has taken much interest il
looking up this matter of manufacturing
turpentine, tar, acetates, wood alcohol
aud charcoal from our worthless stumps
We believe that such an industry would
prove an excel ent proposition and that
with it established, the stunps that
nave U0Cu dill Cy 00tIS W 81 1Iic1l1y anu
a burden to enough people, will become
an asset instead of a liability A plant
visited by the News not long since is
paying $500 for 5000 pounds of stumps
These stumps are readily sawn into
blocks by rotary saw and can certain
ly be handled at the price named.
AS to whether or not the white pine
stumps are available for this industry,
is yet an unsettled question, with the
likelihood in favor of the affirmative
view.
Let us therefore amend our Thanks
giving items by adding one on account
of the fact that the necessities of
commerce and the capacity of American
industry appear destined to remove as
an obstacle the much bemoaned relics
of the lumber industry.

harmony

In another column is an article taken
from the Winona, Mimi, Republican
on the booming of town-not the ep~
hemeral order of booming, but the gen
uine, solid kind.
The News has preached in season and
out on this subject. 1t has offered
suggestion and urged action. The e
are many ways by which many towns
have been pushed ahead from a few
hundred people to as many thousand.
Why should not Ladysmith try some
one at least of these plans? Success
always succeeds and it may be that our
city would strike the successful pace.
But. sitting around grumbling will
never accomplish anything. When
anyone offers suggestion, don't plead
poverty don't start an epidemic of
poverty every time your neighbor pro-
poses something. Our city is at the

to get the reputation of being too
much doomed town-to keep a-going is
an absolute necessity. To contribute

During the latter part of the cam
paign find Immediately after the cleo
ton the stalwart newspapers of the
state proclaimed a great defeat for
Senator LaFollette It was said that
the nomination of Davidson was de-
feat for LaFollette. In a way it was,
but between two men, both claiming tc
stand on the same principles, it was
hardly to be expected that LaFollette' s
favor could decide the contest. But
the stubborn fact is that Davidson s
proclaiming LaFollette principles was
his source of strength.
