The Dollar i'm Action.

as having merely the purchasing
or debt paying capacity measured
by one hundred cents. AS mat
ter of fact it is difficult to estimate
the power of the dollar as respects
its capacity to purchase or to pay
debts. A common illustration is
that A buys a dollars worth of
goods from B, B takes the same
dollar and pays a debt which he
owes to @, and the process is kept
up until the dollar wears out, is
lost, or is hidden away in some
body's old stocking.
One dollar kept in constant cir
culation is worth more than a mil
lion dollars boarded away by the
miser, hence the importance of the
dollar in action can scarcely be
given too much attention. This
leads us to suggest that at this par
ticular time there is urgent need
for all our dollars to get busy, and
with that done we shall hear less
about hard times. Hoarded money
does nobody any good and is be-
sides a curse to the hoarder.
Akin to this question is that of
keeping. A dollar kept constantly
in circulation at home will pay
many bills and do much good to
the community; but dollar sent
away from home closes its mission
entirely and goes on to enrich the
section to which it may be sent
We of the South have paid too lit
tie attention to this great economic
truth as result we have, for years,
been impoverishing ourselves and
enriching the East and the West
by spending our money there for
things that we could just as well
get at home. When we send a
dollar so far away its usefulness is
lost to US almost as permanently
as though we had thrown it into
the sea. True we may get value
received for it, but that value is
soon consumed and the dollar is
lost to the community.
We do not, of course, undervalue
the importance of reciprocal re-
lationship in the matter of CON-
MERGE between the sections. That
is the tue way to promote uniform
and widely diffused prosperity;
but the reciprocity that does not
reciprocate is the kind that has
kept the nose of the South, figura-
lively speaking, Mt the grind stone
during the past sixty years. The
way to break away from the bad
results we've realized is to reverse
the policy we have been pursuing.
Let us learn to keep our money at
home, and put it to work for our
own benefit instead of sending it
away to enrich others.
Therefore it ought to be a mat
ter of public duty to seek to give
our patronage, as far as practicable,
to our own home products. In no
more effective way can we encour-
age home industry and home en-
enterprises successful that are al
ready among us. Our successful
home enterprise will give courage
to others who may have the CAPT.
tai to invest, and when once it be-
comes an established fact that our
people prefer to patronlze home
people, to buy home made products
and to invest their money in local
development of all character and
descriptions, our prosperity will
rest upon a certain and permanent
basis.
Let us put our dollars in
action aud, as far as possible, keep
them in circulation at home, for
such policy will do more towards
creating genuine prosperity than
any other that could be pursued.

The Passing Of Americas Grand
Man.


remains of Grover Cleveland, al
Princeton, N. j., yesterday, were
just what are usually given to al
American citizen who had beer
prominent in public life. This
was according to the wishes of his
family, who deprecated anything
like military display and public
pomp.
For man who has been twice
President of the American Repub-
lie and had saved its financial hon.
or and credit from being degraded
to a. basis of deprecated currency
which would have been far on the
road to financial disgrace, and who
had re-established the full signifi-
cation of the Monroe Doctrine and
had protected the territory of a
South American republic from
spoilation by the most powerful of
the European nations, Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland received but scant
recognition at the hands of the
American people.
He was more truly American
than any man who had presided
over this Republic since Jeffer-
sons time, and no man was more
devoted to the welfare of the
American people and their coun-
try, but he was too honest and firm
in principle to have secured the
friendship of the political jobbers
who regard political power anly as
the means of securing all the prey
and plumber that public Office gives
opportunity for, and he was too
little of a demsgogue to have gain
ed personal popularity with the
multitude.
President Mckinley was one of
the most adroit and consummate
politicians this country ever pro-
duced, and to this day remember
ed throughout the South as the
beloved and martyred President,
because he had appointed Fitzhugh
Lee and Joe Wheeler to the CON-
msnd of divisions in the army that
fought in the war with Spain, and
was hailed as the South's special
friend and benefactor, but the
Southern people forget that four
terms earlier President Cleveland
had put Confederate veterans in
his Cabinet and appointed them as
ministers plenipotentiary to repre-
sent the Republic in foreign coun-
tries, and had issued an executive
order for the restoration to the
South of all the flags captured by
the Union troops in the War of
Secession, and held in the custody
of the National Government. But
a public man must be a politician
and a demagogue in order to be
popular with the generation he
served. Such man as Grover
Cleveland is recognized as great
only when his character in the
light of his deeds is studied by
those who seek the truth.
Thus it was that when Mckinley
passed away his death was regard
as national bereavement and was
publicly mourned throughout the
country, and particularly in the
South. Yesterday the funeral of
Grover Cleveland was taken note
of in only few places in this vast
country. Memorial services were
held at the Union League Club
{ Republican,, at Chicago, and the
bells of Independence Hall, at
Philadelphia, were tolled. while
memorial services were held at
Dallas, Texas. National flags on
the various United States public
buildings were hoisted at half-mast
height, and the Chief Magistrate
of the nation attended the funeral

explain different parts Of the sub
ject.
By a logical and conventional
system of arrangement Mr.. Mcln'
tosh has covered the whole sub
iect of contract law; and there is
no point of any importance that
is not fully covered. BY great
diligence and by a discriminating
and most careful selection OF
cases, he has revealed the law
whether wise or otherwise
governing his subject; and this he
has done by cases taken almost
exclusively from the North Caro-
lima reports. The cases are brief
ly but pointedly annotated and
the reader who wishes TO make
further investigation of any ques-
ton is referred to other decisions
in this state, to leading text books.
and to such publications as CYc.,
Am. & Eng. Enc. Law, l.. r. A. ,
etc. These notes also point out
wherein our North Carolina law
differs, where such is the case,
from the doctrines generally &C
cepted by other jurisdictions.
Few intelligent students who
have been introduced to the case
system will willingly exchange it
for either of the other systems
because by the case system his
work is made easier, more inter
estiug, and far more cfectual, as
a general rule. In the prepare
ton OF this book Mr.. Mcintosh
has taken progressive step and
made a most valuable contribution
to the literature of' legal cduca-
ton.
While designed for law school
work, the book will be of great
value to those pract cling lawyers
who wish to get a complete birds
eye view of the law contracts in
general and of ouI North Carolina
law of contracts in particular
not from hearsay evidence, but
from the mouths Of the witness
es--,o-wit, the judges.
The book is uow being used
in the law school here, and a
limited number of copies will
shortly be offered TO the general
public, at a reasonable price,
through the book sellers.

new Law BOOK PUBLISHED.
Gases on Contracts" by Professor
Mcintosh Has Come From Press.
from the Trinity chcronicle)

Intosh, of Trinity's Law School,
last week brought out his "Se-
lected Cases on Contracts The
work was printed by The Ed
| wards & Broughton Printing
Company, Raleigh. Tie book is
written in a very readable style,
and contains several hundred
pages exclusive Of preface, table
of contents and index. The vol
ume is bound in law sheep, has a
clearly written table of contents,
a concise summary Of the whole
law of contracts, with references
to the pages of the text for verifi-
cation of its statements, a full
aud carefully prepared index, and
a table of cases. y
Mr.. Mcintosh has been at work
on the book some time, and it
represents much effective effort
on his part. Up to the present
time the subject of Contracts in
Trinity's Law School was taught
from Clark on Contracts, supple
mented by HufFcutt and Wood
ruffs Cases on Contracts, and the
reading of some ruling cases in
the Negth Carolina Reports. Mr..
McIntosh's Case Book, however,
covers the entire subject with
North Carolina cases, and in it
are numerous brief notes giving
the substantial difference between
the North Carolina law and that
of other jurisdictions where such
a difference exists in points of
sufficient importance to deserve
mention. North Carolina is an
old State, her Court has always
been conservative, many very able
lawyers have been members Of it,
and every point Of value can be
fully and practically illustrated
from our own reports. Although
The book is not confined alto
getter to the North Carolina law
Of contracts. the student who pro-
poses to practice in North Caro-
lima will have the double adj
vantage Of knowing the law Of
contracts in genera. and a
thorough familiarity with the
North Carolina authorities.
The Charlotte Observer in its
review Of the book says:
In this book We have the frs;
Case Book" issued from a south
efn Law School and, as for as our
! information goes, the first Of its
kind to be published in the
South. Case books are used
, principally for purpose Of instruc.
ton. BY them the student gets
his information at first hands. He
? sees for himself how a real legal
. proposition was settled by the
' court, the principals upon which
, the rights of the Iitigants depend,
b the argument advanced by the
p respective parties, and the reason
for, and, in many instances, the

The Fallen Hero!

Personally the editor of THE
ARGUS has no quarrel with Hon.
Samuel b. Montgomery, the elias
tic editor of the Preston Leader,
but as public ofiice-holder and Il
pretended molder of public opin-
ion he reserves the right to take
issue with the senator and criti-
else his lightning presto change
in the world of politics.
The gratuitous insult which he
offered every German or man of
German descent had lao place i'm
political controversy II cannot
be justified by the most crude po-
litical ethics, and it stamps him
as very naTow-minded and
bigoted individual. The Insults
one which will long be remem-
bered by every one of German
birth.
In resenting the attack THE
ARGUS simply pointed out the
woeful and pitiful ignorance of the
editor of the Leader in the matter
of history and photography, which
in itself was sufficient evidence to
the unbiased that the editor of the
Leader did not measure up to the
caliber which men are supposed
to possess who aspire to public
office aud the role of n critic.
If THE ARGUS has heretofore
",hrown boquets" at the editor of
the Leader, and in truth it must
admit the soft impeachment, 1T
was because it believed the senator
honest and sincere in that which
he was advocating from the hust.
ings and through the columns of
the Leader But according to his
own evidence, which we shall not
attempt to refute, he was not sim
cere and was simply playing to
the, gallery for applause while
borrowing the brains of others to
give utterance to that which he
imagined would court favor with
the people and make himself an
important parsonage.
He has now fallen by his own
weight of insincerity and he must
not blame THE ARGUS fit occa-

Grasping at Straws.

The Grafton Republican having
lost all hope of influencing the
Taylor county Republicans to vote
for Charley Swisher, casts wistful
eyes toward old Preston to save
thc sinking ship. Taking heart
mt ihe report sent out by the Jim
committee it eXultantly shouts:
Did you read the good Repub-
lean news from Preston county i'm
our last evenings issue? Twenty
five hundred majority. That's fine.
If the Republican will just step
across the line into Preston and
interview the rank and file of the
Republicans it will not deliberate
one moment IN deciding to not
publish "the good Republican
ncws from Preston" It, will find
the conditions in Preston as de-
scrlbed by the gentleman in Mon
"ngalia county who told the Post
Chronicle:
A Republican who has Just been

SCOTS run To- Wadestown and back
says that Swisher men are scarce
It's hens teeth in that part of the
county.
There is no enthusiasm nor sen.
timent in Preston for the Swisher
ticket, although it has four ma.
chine organs in the county waging
an unrelenting war ON all Repub-
leans who refuse to accept the
dictates of the ring ami the ma
chine. The Republican, taxpayers
of Preston know who is response
bic for the increase in their tax
receipt, and they have made up
their minds to punish the respon-
sible parties by voting against the
ring and machine tickets.
1t is worthy of note that the
Grafton Republican is not singing
the praises of "taN reform" since
it has learned that the taxpayers
of Taylor county have discovered
that there is going to be decided
increase in their tax receipt for
1908. In the face of the increase
in taxes how can the Republican
ask the voters to vote the Swisher
ticket, which is pledged to con-
tinue the Dawson tax laws?
No; the Republican may as we'll
give up the fight. The tax receipt
is the acknowledged authority on
the new tax laws and its decision

The Tariff Helps Who?

Mr.. Francis IIeermahs would
have the farmers believe it is ow-
ing to a high protective tariff that
prices of farm products are so high
at this time. However, the farmer
has more intelligence, probably,
than Mr.. Heermans credits him
with. He knows that when there
is shortage in farm products
prices rise, and that when his
granaries are full TO overAowino
prices fall.
Not so with manufactured pro-
ducts. A high protective tariff
restricts competition. Hence the
manufactures is enabled to fix and
maintain his own prices. Manu-
featured goods have a stated or
fixed price. Prices raise, but never
TAIL below this fixed price. 1t is
different with the products of the
farm. The farmer has to compete
with the markets of the world
take what he can get for his pro-
ducts-under the general law of
supply and demand. A protective
tariff IN no way benefits him.
