BUXTON EDITION.

This week we present to our
many readers the Buxton Sow
enir Edition for many reasons.
First, to show the progress and
intelligent methods in conducting
this large town. Second, because
we want to show what the good
honest, industrious men and wo-
men are doing for humanity, and
to counterfeit the acts OF a few
bad ones who come in among us.
The act of one, if it be bad
is magnihed, yea, grossly magnl-
fled, and the good we are doing
is seldom if ever mentioned, there
fore those we are mentioning are
the substantial and reliable men
Third, to show what great oppor-
tunities the race have here to de-
velope themselves along indus
trial lines, along educational
lines, along moral lines, along
christian life and along business
life; for here they have perfect
freedom to enter into any honest
and Legitimate business, to enter
the Y. M. G. A. work or to enter
any of the skilled mechanical
professions or to pursue the life
of an agriculturalist. So this
write up is made by the editor
after careful investigation, and
we have only mentioned the best
of our race in the various lines
you will read in this issue. We
can say that Buxton is one of the
best places for our people to make
money, and they can save it ii
they only will.

when to Go Home

From the Button, Ind, Banner:
"When tired out, go home. When Won
want consolation, go home. When YOU
want fun, go home. When YOU want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get &C..
quainted with the fact. When Won
want to show yourself at your best 90
home and do the act there. When Won

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
VOTING

We believe that there never was a
better opportunity for young men to
build their career than now. While we
will concede the battle of life is harder
in many respects owing to the keen
competition of the times, but it should
be remembered that the schools and
colleges are prepared and can send out
men fully prepared for any walks in
life. The young man or young woman
who are preparing themselves for the
future should remember that the very
best education, the very best character
will be required. The young man with
cigarette in his mouth or the one
that has just left the crap game will
find their opportunities limited. The
nosy, unladylike girl will have to look
a long time before she can find en-
ployment. The business world is de-
manding the very best brains, the very
best characters, those who can and are
willing to do something. And again our
advice to those who are willing to try
to do something is to put as the chief
cornerstone of their lives this princi-
pie, respect your parents, wisdom and
good advice and that by the Divine
grace that nothing shall enter into their
lives of which they would not approve
of. The Master will prepare you fol
work, and work for you if you viii
let Him.

PRESIDENT CALLS GOVERNORS.
Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
In Nav

Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
In May.
President Roosevelt has invited the
governors of states and territories to
meet him at the White House May IS,
Ia and Is next to discuss the question
"of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country" Invitations
are to be extended to the members of
both houses of congress and to the in
land waterways commission. The i'm
portance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi-
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which says, in part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources on which the welfare
of this nation rests are becoming de-
pieted, and in not few cases are al
ready exhausted. This is true of all
portions of the United States; it is es-
pecially true of the longer settled
communities of the east The gravity
of the situation must, believe, appeal
with special force to the governors OF
the states, because Of their close rela-
tons to the people and their RESPONSE
bility for the welfare OF their COM
munities
''The matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to any
region or group of states, but are of
vital concern to the nation as whole
and to all the people. These subjects
include the use and conservation of the
mineral resources, the resources of the
land and the resources Of the waters
in every part of our territory.
"In order to open discussion l shall
invite few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions, without argu-
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect"

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou has made the important an
nouncement that as means of afford
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue $50,000,000 OF
Panama canal bonds and 100000, O00
certificates of Indebtedness, or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The Ger.
tificates will run for one year and VIII
bear per cent interest. The secre-
tary's action in coming to the relief OF
the financial situation meets with Pres
ident Roosevelt's hearty approval, and
the plan is the outcome Of the several
White House conferences.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substantial
relief, as the law provides that they
may be used as a basis for additional
bank circulation. He also states that
the proceeds from the sale of certifi.
Gates can be made directly available
at points where the need is most
urgent, and especially for the move.
ment of crops, which. he says, IF prop
erly accelerated, will give the great.
est relief and result in the most I'M
mediate financial returns"
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certifi-
Gates as absolutely safe investments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without with.
drawing for that purpose any appre,
cable amount of the public moneys
now deposited in national banks
throughout the country.
Two treasury circulars, one inviting
proposals for the issue of bonds, and
the other asking for the certificates,

In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
approving the treasury plans, Presi-
dent Roosevelt states that he has been
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration currency
measure, (which will meet in perma-
nent fashion the needs OF the situation
and which | believe will be passed at
an early date after congress convenes,
two weeks hence"
The president also calls attention to
what is needed most at this time is
that the people should realize how
fundamentally sound business condi-
tons in this country are, and how alb
surd it is to permit themselves to get
into panic and create stringency
by boarding their savings instead of
trusting perfectly sound banks
