Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and tn at is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by infamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inaamed you have a rumbiing sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which rs moth.
ing but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

The November Woman's Home
COMPANION.

The opening chapter of a new
novel, Though Life Us.Do PART" by
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, is the feature
of the Woman's Home Companion for
November. The announcement of q
new story by the author of ga Sin
gular Life is always agreeable, and
this new novel gives promise OF being
one of Mrs. Wards best.
Under the title "Do You Know
Your Grocer" the editor makes some
very telling comments on grocery con-
ditions throughout the country, that
every housewife will read with inter-
est.
DR.. E dward Everett Hale, one of the
editors of the Woman's Home CON-
panion, contributes charming talk
on 'Thanksgiving-Then and Now"
and Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson
completes her series of three articles
on ''The Woman in Business. The
other editors, Grace Margaret Gould,
Margaret E. Sangster, Dan Beard
and Fannie Merritt Farmer, contrib
ute especially interesting depart
ments. Particular notice should be
called to the Cooking Department,
which gives large number of excel
lent receipts for Thanksgiving season.
There is splendid fiction by Juliet Will
Dor Tompkins, Mrs. C. N. Williamson,
Herbert D. Ward, and Others.

The Old North State.
Richmond Times-Dispatch. 18th.

Richmond Dispatch. 18th,
In the industrial Section today will
be found an instructive article on
Greensboro, one of the most progress
sive cities in the prOgressive State OF
North Carolina. Tie advance which
North Carolina has made within the
past twenty years is marvellous. Her
cotton has grown from forty-nine
mills in 1890, with a capital OF So
100000, to 31S mills in 1907, with
q capital OF $50, 600, 600, employing
more than $4,000 hands.
In 1890 the capital invested in the
tobacco industry was less than So
100000; today it is $50, 100000.
There has been similar advance in
other branches OF trade and industry.
North Carolina has no large cities,
but it has what is better-an unusual
ly large number ofprosperous towns,
each of which is trade centre for a
rich farming community. She has
many natural advantages, but her
progress is due to the enterprise, in
dustry and ability of her sons, whose
patriotic devotion is her most Valua-
BILE asset and her browning glory.

Reciprocal Obligations.

II the country had more railroad
presidents of the same stamp as Pres
ident Cannon of the Norfolk and
Southern Railway there would be a
better feeling now existing between
the roads and the public. All reason
able men will heartily subscribe to the
following from his address at Wash
ington:
For a long time the power of the
government to regulate railroads
was an open question, but step by
step through the years it has been
fought out in the courts, and now
the right of the government to regu-
late commerce has been practically es-
tablished. Recognizing this right,
and believing that obedience to the
laws OF the land is the first qualifi-
cation of good citizenship, the man.
agement of the Norfolk and Southern
is willing to submit it's affairs to
proper inquiry, rendering to duly ap-
pointed AUTHORITY every facility for the
prosecution of such inquiry. But
this rig bit of regulation carries with it
a reciprocal obligation on the part
OF the government and the people.
Having the power to regulate rail-
roads, it is incumbent on the gov
eminent to see that power is used
wisely and we'll; that the large invest
ments which railroads represent are
safeguarded; that transportation
companies are permitted to charge
such rates as will yield a reasonable
return on the money invested and that
they are allowed the widest possible
latitude in the conduct of their busi-
ness. so long as they properly dis
charge their obligations to the pub
lie"

South's Saving Power.
Manufacturers Record.

MaDut0ctuferS RECORD
The South holds Il call upon the
worlds gold to the extent OF $780,,
100000 to $500,0OO,O 200 for the
cotton which it will this year furnish
to Europe. Every dollar of gold
mined would not be sufficient to pay
the bill, and TITS call which the South
has upon Europe is one which will
prove not only IL great blessing to
the South, but a great blessing to
the entire country. This money
whetherpa in actual gold or in some
other ways, will so strengthen the
financial situation, not only Of the
South. but of American financial in
terest. No other crop on earth is of
such far reaching Importance to any
other great country rs cotton is to
the United States. Had it not been
for the late season, which delayed
cotton picking from three to four
weeks, the crop would have gone for
ward at the same time as heretofore
and would have largely helped to
stem the financial current, and
would doubtless have materially aid
ed in preventing the panicky cOndl-
tions in New York.
Upon a severe pinch Europe may
sometimes lessen its imports of other
things, but cotton it must have, and
cotton it will have regardless of all
other conditions.
The whole country, every business
man in it, whether he be manufac-
turer, merchant or banker, farmer or
mechanic, and whether his home be
in the far North or the far West, will
be indebted to the South for produc-
ing the crop which at this critical
state is already saving the situation,
and which will soon turn such tide
OF gold or its equivalent to our
shores as to stay the Mysteries and
stop the fear which has been paralyz-
ing the free and easy movement of
the banking facilities of the country.
While enriching itself the South will
be enriching the whole nation.

would feel that nothing but justice

Joined in the Kissing demonstration
could have been detected and sent to

OF course the men Oh trial were not

Those College Prize Fights.
mington Messenger, Nov. LIST.

W llnlnRCOn messenger, NOV. lRU.
When President Winston advised
the boys of the freshman and sophie
more classes at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College to fight it out
in the open" he was encouraging two
hundred or more young men under
his charge to violate the criminal
law of the State. And when the Off
GERS Of the college stood by and gave
their approval to students breaking
each Others noses and backing each
others eyes they made themselves
parties to the many cases of assault
and battery. While hazing is not a
violation of any State law, fighting
such as the president advised and his
assistants took part in managing is
a violation of such, and college Off

There is law of the college that
there shall be no hazing OF students.
Do the college officials admit that
they cannot enforce that law? Do
we understand them to have taken the
position that the only way they can
enforce college rule is to countenance
and advise the breaking Of the crimi-
nal law of the State? We can see no
other construction to put upon the
language of President Winston aud
on the conduct of his assistants at
the time of the two disgraceful occur
rences. The trustees OF the college
should make thorough investiga-
ton OF the affair. Taxpayers do not
support that institution nor do it's
patrons send their sons there in order
that the young men may be educated
as prize fighters.
If the college authorities admit
that they cannot control the stu
dents and enforce the college rules
they should resign and let men be
chosen in their places who can do so.
We do not think the people OF the
State will endorse the conduct of
President Winston and his assist

Trying to Fix Responsibility on the
President.
Rocky Mount Record

The kind of talk INDUCED in by Ed
ward M. Shepard, who at one time
was considered presidential timber,
that Roosevelt's prosecution of lille
gal combinations is responsible for
the present financial condition, is
more like that to be expected of a
stock gambler, and is not warranted
by the facts. The great mass of
American people look elsewhere for
the cause. But even if Mr.. Shepard's
view of it is correct, more's the rea-
son that the remedy should be APP
piled that the patien may sooner
recover from what is evidently a bad
disease. No honest interests can be
hurt by the prosecution of dishonest
corporations, but on the other hand
will profit by the elimination OF cor
rupt practices.

Substitute for Money.
A Plan Proposed That is Not Con-
: trary to Law That if Adopted
Generally Would Relieve Local
Money Panics.

! For eight years National Bank Ex-
aminer, Col. Burgwyn, now president
of the First National Bank of We'll
don, contributes a thoughtful and
well considered article IN today's pa
per on a method of providing local
relief in case of a money famine. Out
of the suggestions of such practical
men as Colonel Burgwyn some meth
cd will be devised that will relieve
stringency and end the dependence
upon New York banks.-Raleigh
News and Observer.
| Following is the article referred to:
To the Editor:-I was appointed
National Bank Examiner in June,
1898, the territory assigned me ex-
tending from Virginia to New Orleans,
| and at different times | was in charge
ofsuspended national banks in Virgin
ia, South Carolina, Georgia. Mississippi
and New Orleans. [ witnessed the
panic of 1893 in it's acutest stages
and was brought in contact with the
various devices by which the people
gradually worked out the difficulties
of their financial situation with COM
paratively no money III circulation
and with little exchangeable value in
anything.
The experience OF 1893 has enabled
the financiers of this day to handle
such conditions of panic more wisely,
and whereas in 1893 hundreds of
banks closed their doors, we have
heard, but here and there, of banks
suspension during this panic. The
devices resorted to in 1893 as a sub
stitute for money were in many i'll
stances crude snd only in Il limited
degree relieved the situation. OF
course, they were only local in their
usefulness, and negotiabilty. A de-
vice that would utilize all the depos-
its in banks for purposes of effecting
local exchanges and at the same time
not draw out the money in the banks,
would relieve the local situation from
this scarcity of currency and in this
way help the country at large, as
there would then no longer exist this
demand for the shipment of currency
from the banks in the money centres
to the country banks.
Nothing is simpler or more practical
BILE as substitute for currency, than
the issue of certified checks, in denom-
nations of one, two and five dollars.
The form might be something like
this:

A certificate of deposit in the usual
form would also answer, but my pref
aro,,on is for a oa-tifad ohool.. Thnrn
is nothing in the National Banking
law or the State law regulating State
Banks to make such an issue on the
part of a National or State bank H.
legal.
The success of such a device will de-
pend upon the loyalty OF the commu-
nifty where the bank is located-as it
must be al entirely voluntary trans
action between the deposition, the
bank and people who have transac-
tions with the two.
The certificates issued by the clear
ing houses of the large cities which

ances between the members of the Or
ginization, without the use,,of money,
would not avail us in North Caro-

We need q substitute for money,
a device or expedient that will an
swer to effect exchanges in the sale
and purchase of commodities, that
will furnish the pay rolls for the fac
tories, that will buy goods at the
stores, cotton and peanuts that are
brought to the local markets, and be
received by neighbor from his neigh
Dor in payment OF a debt. If a com
munity has confidence in it's local
banks, and is loyal in it's support Of
its home institutions it will be entire
ly practicable to put in local circula-
ton these certified checks or certifi-
Gates of deposit as temporary sub
