OUR COUNTRY'S WEALTH.

Carefully prepared statistics estab-
lish the fact that America-the United
States-is the wealthiest nation in the
world, These statistics show a footing
up of one hundred and seven billion
dollars, an incomprehensible sum- but
one that no other nation has, and this
fact is comprehensive.
But the per capita wealth of France
is greater than that of the United
States. That of France is $39. "a, while
that of the United States is $685. 6 Of
twelve leading nations Japan is the
poorest in per capita wealth, SAILS.
Our country, says a recent writer, has
more actual money, more gold, a larger
volume of exports, greater banking
facilities, richer farms, more produce
tive mines, more railroads., mora in
ternal commerce, more millionaires,
more weIl-to-do tradesmen, more indie
pendent farmers, more h~ighly-paid
laborers, and a greater distribution of
the Iuxuries which riches bring than
any other nation has ever enjoyed since
time began.
In the respect of undivided wealth it
is believed that tile world has eve
held three men as rich as Rockefeller,
Carnegie and Clark. New York alone
has more wealthy citizens than Lon
don, Paris, Berlin and st. Petersburg
combined.
The American producing gold dis
tricts are still led by Cripple Creek, in
Colorado, which turned out SIS, 200. 600
last year. 1t has yielded S25, 900 900 in
a single rear, and a production ofabout
$40, QO0, 900 is expected from it every
year.
Alaska, Colorado and California are
our Big Three in gold production, and
when the years returns are all at hand
it may appear that Alaska cad all
the rest, and the K1onkike also. The
mines in Canada are not holding their
own, while those eff Alaska are increas-
ing their outputs.

is now just about a round 500, 600 ,O0O

Important Trade Mark Decision.

Lynchburg, V a., Feb. 9th, 1907.-A
decision of Importance to all manufac-
turers of trade mark goods has been
awarded by. Judge Pritchard in the
United States Circuit Court of this dis
trict.
The question involved was whether
the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co., OF
Lynchburg, Va, has the legal right to
use on it's ''Traveler'' brand of plug
tobacco a tag similar in size, shape,
color, and slant of lettering, but differ
ent as to wording, from that used by
the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., OF
Winston-Salem, NC, on its''Schnapps''
Plug Tobacco.
In the argument, on motion of the
plaintiff, the r. j.. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., that a restraining order be issued
forbidding the defendant company
from further initiating its tag. many
affidavits were submitted tending to
show that owing to the similarity OF
the tags, the "Trave1er'' tobacco, pur-
chased by dealers at a lower price, was
sold to uneducated chewers for
"Schnapps."
In a decree signed by Judge Prit-
chard, the Allnd Brothers Tobacco
Company is enjoined from manutac-
turing, putting up, advertising, SELL
ing, or offering for sale plug tobacco
bearing a tag Identical with or like the
said tag of the complainant, known as
the "~Schnapps'' tag.
According to this decision, no manu-
facturer can initiate even in color,
shape, or style of lettering, the trade
mark of another manufacturer, ever
though the wording be entirely differ.

GIFT A SURPRISE.
Rockefeller Offers an Inn
menSe Sum.
Thirty-Two Millions Added to a
Previous Gift of Eleven NIL
lions TO the General Edu-
cation Board---No
Explanation
Offered.

New York, Feb. AN announce
ment was made late today that John
D. Rockefeller has given the general
education board $50, 000, 900. He had
previously given the board Sill ,O00, 900.
The gift is intended to assist in the
work of the board throughout the
country. The educational board is de-
signed to help educational institutions.
The gift is in the form of thirty-two
million dollars worth of income bear
ing securities, the largest single prize
ever handed out for educational pur-
poses. Mr.. Rock efeller's contributions
to the work now amount to $43, 00O,-
600. The General Education Board ap-
parently was not prepared for this gift,
which was announced simply in this
letter:
New York, Feb. 3, 1907.
general Education Board, "a Will
liam street. New York city.
'Gentlemen:-My father authorizes
me to say that on or before April 1,
1907, he will give to the General

present market value OF which is
about thirty-two million dollars, one
third to be added to the permanent
endowment of the board; t~wo-thirds
to be applied to such specific objects

time to time direct, any remainder not
so designated at the death of the sur
vivor to be added also to the perman-
ent endowment of the board.
livery truly,
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR."
Most of the members of the board
were surprised at the announcement
and amazed at the size of the gift. Dr.
Buttrick, the secretary, said he did mo-
know the gift was to be made until he
received the letter. Other members
did not know of the donation until thu
letter was read.
The board voted to accept the gift.
and drafted a letter of acknowledge
ment to the elder Mr.. Rockefeller.

Mr.. Matthew O'Hare, AS William ST.,

"About four years ago I consulted a
physician to get relief from a cold
which had stopped up my head and also
settled on my lungs, resulting IN CO.
tarrh and also throat difficulties.
aHe gave me some medicine, but four
months faithful use of the same did me
no good. / then tried other doctors, but
it was just the same.

using two bottles my lungs began te
heal, I did not cough nearly SO much
and slept better.
GIN six months the cough, catarrl
and throat difficulties were all cured.

Peruna has done for my family.
"When I broughtthe first bottle home
I found my wife and daughter bot

were both cured.

taken in the beginning, will cure til

4 r ina LEGISLATOR.
Hon. Vim. G. Hunter Uses
Pc-ru-na AS a Family
Medicine.

yvTHEN a man of undoubted reputa-
w ton M out squarely in public
print, giving unqualified endorsement to
a household remedy there must be some
thing genuine to account for it.
Hon. w. G.. Hunter, of North Caro-
lima, well-known in Washington and
throughout the Southern States, says OF
Peruna that he regards it as h greatest
family medicine ever discovered.
He does not hesitate to say that
Peruna invigorates and gives fresh
strength to mind and body.
Such testimonials as this ought to
make Peruna popular.
No advertising known'to the arts of
man, no commercial management could
ever raise Peruna to such a high stand
ard of appreciation as the frank and un-
qualified statements of such men.

Mr.. G. w. Taylor, Clendenin, w. Va,
writes:
"I think that Peruna is the greatest
tonic that was ever put on the market.
For several years my eyes bothered me
30 much. The pain was so severe some
times / would think they would surely
burst out of my head.
81 tried Peruna and ManaIin and am
to-day a well man. am sure ! should
have died had it not been for Dr.. Hart

Such testimony, as the above has
given Peruna a high standard in the es'
| timation of the public.

"The greatest family medicine

Judge Parker's Timely Warning.

b
The address Of Judge Alton B.
Parker before the North Carolina Bar
association on July II clearly indi-
Gated that the common law principles
can solve every problem in civil life
ii permitted to do so, and that the
Capitalization of power in the federal
government which is now being at
tempted will destroy the local author
ity of the states. THE. campaign
against the governmental plan of the
fathers is on said Judge Parker.
land has been for several years. 1t
has for it's leader the most accom-
plished politician of our history. Be-
hind him and backing him stand these
great corporations of the country,
which are engaged in interstate COM
merce and insurance. Their reason is
that it is easier to deal with one gov
eminent than with many"
The corruption fund of the life in
rance companies which the Repub-
lican campaign managers, Cortelyou
and Bliss, solicited and received; the
acknowledged request of President
Roosevelt to the railroad magnate
Hartman that he collect more cam.
paign funds which the president de-
clared were needed in New York,
were no doubt in the mind of Judge
Parker, when he now charges that the
president is backed by the great cor
porations of the country in his effort
to centraliZe their control in the gen.
eral government and thus release TIE
railroads and trusts from state laws
AS the charge of Judge Parker, before
the election of 1904, that the corpora
tions had contributed large sums to
the Roosevelt campaign, has been
fully verified by later official disclos-
ures, although denied by President
Roosevelt; there can be no doubt
that the proof will be forthcoming in
due time of the present connection
between the corporations and the
president.
Alton B. Parker, the honest and
fearless judge, was denied the presi-
dency by the people, but those voters
who supported him must now feel
more proud Of their position than
those who voted for the winning can
didate.

The Trees and the Tariff.

fhe Ohio State Journal says that
assuming that we shall have no for
est fires, yet our supply of standing
timber will be practically exhausted
in twenty years. There is encourage
ment in the forest reservations which
the state and nation are making,
but these will not meet the demand.
The Journal continues:
1.-THE timber supply will not be abb
solutely exhausted in twenty years,
but there will be such a shortage as
to make the cost of the product, es-
pecially after the long haul east, al
most prohibitive. Across the line In
Canada are thousands OF billions Of
feet Of standing timber. II what we
need of this almost inexhaustible sap
ply could be brought into this country
from this time on, our own forests
would be conserved and the excessive
cost OF lumber would come down. But
the politicians say the Dingley law
must stand just as 1t is until after the
next presidential election. BY that
time they'll have some other plaus-
ible excuse for delay, unless the peo.
pie are sufficiently aroused to show
that further opposition to popular sen.
timent Is futile and dangerous.

CRAZY p-RoTEcrIoNlsTs
Would Add Fifty Per Cent to Present
Tariff Rates.

The maximum and minimum tariff
rates that the Republicans are talk
Ing of imposing is a system copied
from the European nations, like Ger
many and France, that are always
fighting each other. 1t is retaliation
pure and simple, COR such a tariff no
tities the world that unless special
advantages are given for the sale OF
the products of the country imposing
such a tariff that the maximum rates
will be exacted. These highest rates
of duty are, of course, placed so high
that they are prohibitiye on such
products as the country imposing
Them can produce enough of to supply
the wants of its own people. Compe-
tition in such products is thus abol-
ished and very naturally the prices are
advanced to all the ~plundered consum-
ers can afford to pay.
The proposition is now being dis
cussed here in ardent protectionism
quarters to adopt excessive maximum
rates, and the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle goes so far as to say that, "our
executive and congress" have been
lost to all considerations of national
dignity" and but for this m~ollycoddle
spirit a bill would have been passed
providing: That the products of ain
countries should continue to be adj
mitted to our ports on equal terms,
except that in case any country should
discriminate against our products
either with or without consideration
all products of those countries should
pay SO per cent more than regular
rates" The American Economist,
the subsidized organ of the tariff pro-
tected trusts and monopolists, en-
dorses this so per cent addition to
the present high tariff as maximum.
tariff rates, so that 1t may be taken
as certain that this high tariff mania
is to be persisted in as far as the
Stand-patter Republicans are con-
cerned.
Fancy adding so per cent to the
present enormous profits of the Steel
trust and so per cent to the profits Of
the Wooden Goods tydst, already pro-
tected by a tariff tax averaging 100
per cent, to say nothing of the other
trusts. Is not this protectionism gone
mad? And yet that may be the outcome
If the Republican party is allowed to
elect the next president and the next
congress.

IN STYLE
PLAIN COMBS ARE NOW DEcREEp
FOR THE HAIR.
Gold and JewetTrimmed Ornaments
No Longer in vogue-Sleeve
Links Have Achieved
Popularity.

For the hair the gold and jewel
trimmed combs are no longer con-
sidered in the very best taste, espe-
cially for young girls.
The plain amber colored combs and
pins for the head of the blond girl
and those in dark shell for the bru-
nette are correct. The combs are usu-
ally better also when made with tops,
without knobs or other decoration.
The button pins are used by girls who
ear their hair up. The top part OF
these pins turn back over the hair In
a fiat piece of shell, like a large but
ton. The effect is very neat. For
keeping in flying ends Of hair also
there are corkscrew pins of amber
strange looking things, that screw into
the hair in spiral fashion, so that one
would fear they might never come out
again. But they are in fact compare
lively easy of adjustment and they
are admirable for keeping the hair
neat. There are also pins which come
In pairs, called. staple pins. They have
amber or shell tops and are in the
shape of large staples, as their nam
. indicates. They are worn on either
side of a low knot, or If the hair is
braided and turned under may be
form in place of a bow. The tops
stand out well from the head.
Sleeve links are much worn nova
days by women, though many waists
of the tailor made variety have but
tons sewed on. When girls prefer
buttons, the styles worn by men are
chosen, care being taken to select a
suitably small and dainty pair. An
idea which has been followed out by
some girls for the sleeve links of
their morning waists of the tailor
made variety is to get the plain moth
er of pearl buttons which are sold for
wear in mems evening clothes. These
are fiat buttons, just like those which
are sewed on shirt waists, only finer
and of more attractive design. They
are small in size and when used in
tailored shirt waists they are exceed
ingly neat and at the same time smart
looking.
Belt buckles for wear with fine silk
belts are in gold, silver or mother of
pearl. They are most attractive with
out stone settings. The gold and sill
yer buckles are chased or engraved
in charming designs. The mother of
pearl buckles are very nice for linen
belts or for those in white corded silk

Dotted Swiss Frock.

Very attractive for a young girl
would be a popular model of white
dotted Swiss trimmed in bands and
straps Of Irish lace insertion, edged
with tiny inch and a half wide frills
of the swiss. The bell sleeves are
worn over an inner bishop sleeve. The
full-gathered skirt has two bands of
the befrilled Irish insertion. With
this little frock is worn a whito sash
of soft satin ribbon tied in an AL
satan bow with long ends. The
white chip hat is bound in black rib
erty satin, and has no other trim
ming but a large lace bow of the
same material.

ALL KINDS OF NEckwEAR.
Pretty Little Bows Easy to Fashion
from Lace.

Lingerie neck fixings FORM a large
part Of dress accessories this sea-
son, says the Chicago American. In
all the stores at the neckwear our
tiers they are selling little bows by

made once a girl gets her hand in.
Some persons use lace-edged ruching,
Joining the ends with a knot in the
middle. A few yards Of pretty lace
can be quickly worked into trig bows
by clever fingers. Some girls depend
upon the need and inspiration, only
carrying along bits Of fine null and
lace and embroidery for the purpose
and putting them together as part
Of the dressing. 1t goes without say

and not thread and needle hold them
in place. There are cardboard backs
