50 cotton mills in CASTOR county. that

other in the state. Alamance comes

The labor commissioner has reports
from sc furniture factories in the state

Very few people have an idea of the

FINANCIAL POLICY COMMENDED
President aid Secretary Gratified
at Result
Many Subscriptions Being Received for
Bonds and Certificates-Indicat
That Both Loans VIII De over
Subscribed For-Criticism OF the

Washington, Nov. 19.-The COM
which camesto the treas
urv department today, approving the
financial policy adopted by the presl-
dent and Secretary Cortelyou, III the
subscriptions which were received 1or
Panama bonds and one year certln-
cafes. were the subject of discussion
at the meeting of The cabinet ana
afforded general qualification. While
the details regarding subscriptions are
lot yet made public, it seems to be
the feeling at the treasury that botn
loans will be over subscribed as was
the case of the popular loan of SlOp,-
O0C 600 issued by the Cleveland admin
istration in 1896. The decline in tho
stock market today Is regarded as
ONLY a symptom of hesitation until the
full effect and degree of success OF the
government measures are proved by
the opening of the bids. Several I'M
portant questions are being raised
in communications addressed to the
treasury, but the treasury officials are
exercising an unusual amount OF care
in defining their position. One Of these
questions upon which no official In
formation has been yet given is wheth
ell the new one year certificates will
be available for bank reserves. The
law on the subject seems to be suffi-
GENTLY clear that they are not availa-
Lie for this purpose, but it is pos
sible that the presence Of a few of
them in reserve under present critical
conditions would be winked at just as
in the case of clearing house certifi-
Gates.
AS large portion of national banks
with their reserves considerably re-
duCed below the legal limit, the ques-
ton whether the proposed treasury
certificates shall be ccuntey to reserves
or investments is practically only a
matter of bookkeeping The law is
framed, however, to require actual
money to be held in reserve and those
familiar with the currency system OF
other solvent countries declare that
il would be entirely contrary to sound
policy to count in interest-bearing
certificates of debt as the equivalent
OF money under normal conditions
policy Of reserve is being pursued
by Comptroller Ridgley, apparently
for the purpose of avoiding any un-
favorable Impressions among bankers
or misunderstanding by the public
pending the opening of bids for the
new securities.
The possibility is attracting some at
tentiOn the issue of certificates will
be criticised in congress in much the
same manner as those of bonds to
Morgan syndicate to protect the gold
reserve in 1895.
The fact that a republican member
or the house committee on banking.
Mr.. Prince of Illinois, was quoted to-
day as declaring the issue mot justif-
able under existing conditions. Is
considered a symptom of the attitude
which may be taken by a few members

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Beautiful Tributes to the Memory OF
the Late Mr. n. jacob.

The Orphans Home, published at
the Odd Fellows Home in GOldsboro
contains the following tribute to the
late Mr.. N. jacob:
Yes, how sadly true it is! A good
oId man has walked the earth long
reward at the feet Of the Master
perhaps no truer Odd Fellow ever
entered the door of an Odd Fellows
lodge room. He was always ready and
willing to give his time and means to
advance the cause Of Odd Fellowship
| wherever it existed Thus in the death
of this old veteran not only has Odd
Fellowship in North Carolina lost one
Of it's best and oldest members, but
the universal order has suffered an ir-
reparable loss.
Our orphan Home is indeed an or
phan now. At the meetings Of the
board of trustees, Brother jacob will
not be there to give his valuable opin-
ion; nor will he be there to cheer the
| children by his kind face. We real
ize, to an extent, the loss that we, as
inmates of the home, have suffered. It
is one that can never be regained, and
one that causes us all to feel sad.
He has made vacant a place that
will be hard to fill by any one else
as he filled it. But, thank God, his
memory will forever be fresh ana green
Il. the hearts of those who loved him;
and to know him was to love him.
Many were his friends, and few, #
any, were his enemies. Yes, more
than that, we are 10th 10 believe that
ne knew what it was to have an enemy
IL can truly be said that "he went
about doing good" which was his ma
ture.
When We think of his kindly look,
his friendly handshake, and the loving
tone IL his voice, We sometimes find
ourselves saying, Can it 1ea11y be true
that he is gomez And somehow we
hear the answer, No because:
There in no death.
What seems so is transition,
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb OF the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call DEATH
Let us all hope to meet him in that
land where there is no parting"
The children of the Odd Fellows
Home realizing the great loss they
has sustained adopted the following
resolutions:
On the morning of November 5th,
1907, our dearly beloved Father, in his
Infinite wisdom, saw fit to take from
our midst Mr.. Nathaniel jacob. a vet
eran member of the board of trustees
of our Home.
Mr.. jacob was indeed a father to
Our Home, and will be missed by all
of us.
Whereas, the bereaeed family hav-
ing lost beloved fatEer, and the Or
phan Home true and faithful friend.
who loved us as We love him, be it
therefore resolved
First. That in his death our Home
leeds a great and sad loss. since he is
no longer in our midst.
second, That We the children Of the
orphan Home extend our deepest SYM
pathies to his grief stricken sons and
relatives.
Third, That copy of these rssolu-
tons be sent to his grief stricken sons.

PROCESS OF PURIEICATION.
GOtbam's Financial Disturbance Eek
pected to Result in Good.

GOtham's Financial Disturbance EX-
pected to Result in Good,
From the New York Times.
The process through which the finan-
cial institutions OF New York are pass
ing is a strenuous but healthy one. The
loRg-contlnued decline in stock market
values, that is to say, in the values of
collateral securities for loans large in
total amount and various in character
and purpose. has necessarily brought out
such weak spots as existed, with the in
evitable result Of excitement, exaggeTa-
ton. and apprehension.
We are firmly convinced that the act
ual situation is in the hands Of able,
wise. and strong men, in consultation
and cooperation with the Secretary Of
the Treasury: that the immense resources
at their deposit viii be used with courage
and discretion to prevent or aliay undue
alarm, while dealing resolutely with de-
fects and errors that may be disclosed.
So far as the general business public are
concerned, it is well to remember that
the percentage Of actual loss to de-
pOsitors in banking institutions in this
city has, in the times of most serious
reaction. been insignificant, and that the
risk and trouble involved in the unsettle-
ment Of credit at the present time are
only aggravated by yielding to alarm. 1t
IS a period of some acute disturbance,
but it is one, also. of purification. Il
will do good in the end, and the more
coolly and steadily it is taken the less
will be the inconvenience, and the sooner
it viii be over.
