Building up a Town.
Central North Carolinian.

Central North Carolinian.
There is no better way Of advanc-
ing the interests of and building upa
town than that of standing by, en-
couraging and supporting it's news
papers and banking institutions
These institutions go hand in hand
on the mission of expanding and
building up the town in which they
are located. The very life of each is
closely interviewer with that of the
town. The greater the growth and
prosperity of the town, the greater
will be the success of the banks and
newspapers. The better, and per-
haps the only way, to encourage the
newspaper is for one to subscribe for
1T himself and induce others TO do the
same.
If one is in business he should ad-
vertise literally in it's columns and
not expect returns too soon. remem-
bering that we have to SOW before we
reap. 1t is the constant dropping Of
the water that wears away the stone
Besides, the advertisements con-
.tained in the town newspaper are an
index of the town to the outside
world.
A newspaper full OF home advertise
ments indicates that the town is peo-
pied by a live and energetic citizen
ship and others are induced to move
to and locate in it.
Every hotel and boarding house
keeper should advertise i'm the home
paper, so that people who visit the
town from a distance can know in ad-
vance where to find days or week 8
lodging. Such advertising assists in
attracting visitors to the town.
Just the same the banks may be ell
couraged and support to an eminent
degree by the citizens of n town by
depositing their savings in the bank,
where it will be safe from fire and
burglars.
There is a way OF handling ones
money wisely and there is way OF
using it foolishly. And nothing is more
foolish at any time than the over
cautiousness that leads 10 the with
drawal of funds from the channels of
trade and commerce. to be tied up in
an old stocking and hidden in a stove
pipe.
That kind of finance is not only
dangerous to the experimenter, but
unfortunate for the country at large.
Now let us suppose that all Of our
captains OF industry and capitalists
OF the country were to adopt the
methods of the old stockings finance
and were to hoard their money, or
bury it, so to speak, railroad build
ing and cotton mill operating would
cease at once, labor would go unem-
plOyed, die from utter starvation, and
be laid in the grave by the side OF
buried capital.

And kindly faces to my own uplifting

And both forgiven thro' Thy abounding

Unto my fitting place.

Some sheltering shade where sin and striv.

And flows forever thro' Heavens green ex

Liquor Adulteration.
Manufactured" Spirits and Poison
Gus Decoctions in Which Death

Form Ought to be a High Crime
to Make and Sell Such Stuff.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
People who know are astounded at
the adulteration of liquor these days
and some of them contend that il the
tax were removed entirely it would
cease; they cite the days before the
war when it sold for % cents a gallon
up. Not on your life. The art of
adulteration permeates every artery
of trade; even stocks are adulterated
-watered-and the practice has so
grown that Congress had to pass n
pure food law, applicable to liquor as
well as other things. of all the COM
modities, however, whiskey is perhaps
doctored to greater extent than
anything else. Ten years ago such IA
thing as concentrated extract of I've
was unknown around still house;
now wagon loads OF empty cans are
to be seen around every one, whether
a blockade or a government still.
Its use permits the use OF n great deal
of water, but it is rank poison and if
too much finds its way into given
quantity OF liquor it will take the
skin off of the lips, mouth and throat.
This is day of education and the
liquor maker is right up with the
procession. He adulterates it when
it is made; he sells it and the pur-
chaser tries his hand on it, SO that
when it reaches the drinker he takes
his life i'm his own hands if he imbibes
much of it.

The Unbridled Tongue.
New Bern Sun.

we" DeFD SUU
The most terrible aftiiction that is
permitted to fall on humanity is the
unbridled tongue. This thought was
aptly and forcefully put "a few days
ago by DIR. A. w. Knox, OF Raleigh,
one of the first physicians in the
State, and withal one of the most
sensible, discriminating men, we have
known. He was writing of his posi-
ton On the liquor traffic, declaring
that he wanted the most effective
means of controlling the evil. ''be-
cause" said he, II believe that-next
to the human tongue, let loose and
Observation-Disclosures drinking is the
greatest curse that affiicts human
ity."
This is, indeed, a terrible indict-
ment, but it is nevertheless true. The
greatest of all curses is the "lIuman
tongue, let loose and unrestrained. !"
We have never been much of a believ-
er in the doctrine of total deprayity,
but the ghoulish work of the unbri-
died tongue is the best argument in
favor of that doctrine 1t is not
necessary form person to speak or to
act-the tongues of slander start up
without a shadow OF reason, and
barbed shafts OF poison are sent out,
hat strike the quivering hearts
where purest thoughts aud the cleau-
est, whitest souls abide, producing
mental suffering and awful. inexpress-
ible anguish OF soul.
Talk about your bomb throwers,
anarchistic fiends, midnight assassins
and murderers, the devil inearnate
who would stick fire to your dwelling
and destroy your physical bodies
| and your property-all these are
entitled to respect compared with
the tattling b az whose poisoned
whispers defile regulations and wiring
the very life blood from pure and in
nocent hearts. Lies, the base progeny
of the devils own select henchmen,
whispered ''in confidence" are flung
out to run a course of destruction
and death to fair names and spotless
POPULATIONS. Vicious and venomous
work, whose beginning cannot be
traced and whose ending will be
eternity, out in the vast and un-
known somewhere, where the secrets
of all hearts shall be known.
The unhridled tongue is one OF Sd
tan's blind tiger propositions against
which no human statute can he ef-
fective.

Progress of the South.

Chattanooga, Tena., Jan. 5.-The
Tradesman Annual contains among
its important features an elaborate
review of Southern progress during
1907, in which the following inter-
rsting facts are given:
The principal crops were as fol-
lows:
Hay of all kinds, tons. $500, 900.
Wheat, bushels, 81. .433.0O0.
Corn, bushels, $50. .743,OOO.
Oats, bushels, 81, 1891 900.
Tobacco, pounds, 437, 139, 900
Rice, bushels, 81 ,412.
Two notable increases over the
previous year are shown by these
figures, the Southern hay crop being
% per cent. greater than in 1906,
aud the rice crop increased nearly
the same percentage.
PROGRESS OF AGRICULTURE.
| During the last five years. however,
agriculture has made such progress
in the Southern States that the corn
crop has increased nearly 50per cent.
The rice crop is five times greater,
while us already stated the fodder
crop has enlarged % per cent in a
single year. In 1900 the value of
products of vegetable gardens of the
South was $13.OOO,OOO; at present
the annual yield of orchards and
vineyards in this section is over $780,
900, 900, making the sum total Of
the annual fruit and truck product
of the South fully $50, 100000.
During the last cotton year we sent
out of the country about 100000
bales of raw cotton, fully thirds
OF the crop; but such is the growth of
the cotton industry in the United
States that the South now contains
700 mills, operating nearly 10000
600 spindles and 1908 will add fully
20 more plants. The States OF North
and South Carolina have no less than
400 plants with 100000 spindles.
THE METAL INDUSTRY.
The metal industry, including the
mining of ore, shows a notable in
crease compared with previous years.
The total tonnage of iron produced
by the Alabama furnaces during 9O7
will aggregate about l, ,75O, 900 tons,
with Il value Of $32, 100000. This is
100000 tons more than the record
for 1906 and about 10000 tons
more than the record for 1906, while
the value has increased within the
last two years nearly SO per cent.
In Kentucky the total tonnage of
pig iron produced aggregates over
125, 900 tons, gain OF fully 100 per
cent in two years, while the value of
the output of the smelters has actu-
ally more than doubled in two
years.
Tennessee also shows remarkable
progress, for the tonnage OF pig
iron made in this State in 1905 was
but 372 2,692, while for the present
year it will be about 100000 tons,
representing Il value of about 81
100000
The total investment of capital in
miscellaneous industries in the South
ern States increased no less than so
per cent. in the brief period of five
years, while the value of the manu-
factures has increased % per cent.
and in 1905 exceeded the total in
vestment in Southern industrial
plants by the sum of nearly $780,
100000.

Hope of the Seaboard.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
Recently the News expressed the
view that after all the appointment
of receivers to take over the affairs
of the Seabo,rd Air Line Railway
may result in much good to the pub
lie. since it is likely the road will be
reorganized and placed in able hands,
with ample capital to finance all it's
undertakings-We cited the exam
pie of the Baltimore & Ohio's won
derful progress under a strong re-
ceivership. as indicative Of what may
be the result with the Seaboard.
Commenting on the opinion of the
News, the Wilmington Messenger
says:
The News takes the right view of the
situation. There is no danger Of disin-
tegration of the system. 1t will continue
during the receivership and afterward to
be operated as a whole.
Certainly conditions cannot become
! worse than they have been in the past,
and there is every reason to suppose
| that they will be greatly improved. The
sections of the country traversed by the
| lines of this corporation have nothing to
fear from impairment of service because
OF the receivership. but much to hope for
through that change and the reorganiza-
| ton which is bound to follow. We
firmly believe that the company will
emerge from the receivership stronger
financially and under better manage
ment than it has experienced in years, il
ever before. There can be no doubt, if
| the report be true that the Gould system
has joined forces with Mr.. Williams in
his effort to secure control Of the COM
pany, and if he succeed--as everything
now indicates that he will-the South
will be greatly benefited by the new
| order OF things and that the Seaboard
will become a factor ip Southern rail-
rOading greater than it ever was before.
The Southern seaboard will have a new
and independent route to the West and
Northwest-one with plenty Of financial
backing to make it one of the strongest
, railway systems in the. country, able to
put it's whole system in fine ply ysical con-
dition and to aid in the development OF
the country through which it's lines run
and which is so much in need OF railway
enterprise in such development
We have faith in Mr.. Williams and his
hackers and we believe that great good
will come to our section out of the pres
ent financial troubles of the Seaboard
system.
