you must make proportionate raise

pays cash or makes a settlement
every month or so pays for the

On the face OF this evidence an
injustice is perpetrated on the
cash buying customer who should
DO entitled to better rates than
his two other colleagues.
The only safe way to check the
eatalog house evil is to meet it
with its own weapon. The coun-
try at large is enjoying 10 small
amount of prosperity. People Of
all eallings have plenty of money
so that a credit system is totally
uncalled tor. And in cases where
credit is requested why should
not the merchant apply a business
rule and charge interest. Mer.
chants are steadily awakening to
the fact that the credit system as
it is known is most favorable to
the catalog house and are ADOPT
ing the cash system or charging
interest on credit sales.
While the movement has been
started in the neighboring towns
it is our wish that it spreads and.
finds roots elsewhere also and par
ticularly in Tabor. 1t grieves us
to see how Our merchants are
struggling to do their best for the
people in this community. We
shall however dare say that unless
the cash system or charge interest
on credit sales is made as a basis,
all argument and useless hooting
against catalog houses will fall
hort.
A meeting of the merchants
should be called where this propo
.ition could be discussed.

DURHAM. N. c.. Sept. 2, 1905
Willy, Crazy or Mere Fool?

Inc ItSTO oOioiiiou cHSPoiu,
now in Jail in Durham charged
with completely in the murder of
Engineer Holt in that city last
December, is puzzling the author
tiles by the manner in which he
is admitting himself to be guilty
Of capital felonies. His admis-
sions include several burglaries
as well as the murder Of Engi-
neer Holt. When arrested in a
Western city on some trivial
charge he gave to the police the
first intimation that he was con-
nected with a murder in this
State and he has since then given
a fuller account of the crime.
Some believe he has been hired
to tell his tale in order in some
way to aid Barbee, the white man
in Jail in Durham awaiting trial
for the Holt murder, and that
when he comes to trial it will be
shown that the negro really had
nothing to do with the crime.
But of the several burglaries,
committed in Durham since the
murder Of Holt. and which Shep-
ard says he committed, there is
one at least in which there is
corroborative evidence to prove
his guilt, of which he knew moth
ing at the time of making his adj
missions. This is a bunch of
keys stolen at the time of the
burglary and taken from him on
the occasion of his arrest in
Petersburg, some time after the
burglary. He made his escape.
but has been identified as the
prisoner in possession of the keys
and the latter have also been
positively shown to be the ones
stolen from the Durham resi-
dence.
1t is the positive proof Of his
guilt of this burglary which
makes his confessions so puzzling
to the authorities. Men have
time and again declared them
selves guilty of certain crimes
when it was afterward shown
beyond all doubt that they could
not possibly have been the perpe-
traitors; but it is something out
of the ordinary for a criminal TO
SO openly ard without any APP
parent reason confess his guilt
when there had been no suspi-
cion Of his connection with the
crime. 1t really looks like there
are grounds for suspicion Of some
secret motive in the conduct of
this man. Can it be possible
that he found he had unwittingly
implicated himself in the Holt
murder and is now purposely
paving the way for a successful
plea of insanity? Juries have
acquitted men of murder on that
plea, where the conduct of the
accused relied on to sustain the
defence indicated no greater de-
gree Of insanity than that Of a
man volunteering confessions of
enough capital crimes TO hang
him a half dozen times. Char
lotte Observer.

Luce and his company had con-

project, and the agreemnt was that
in case the work was not finished
or was abandoned the government
could take the tools and finish it.

IF YOU'RE HARD UP,
GO TO RAISING HOGS

The importance of the hog as a
mortgage litter has never been
more evident than now in the
northwest. The hog market at
Portland has advanced recently
from s775 to sS15 per 100 pounds
for suitable fat hogs, and packers
say the supply is practically nil.
The hog raising industry is one of
the most lucrative to which the
farmers of the northwest can turn
their attention. Oregon and Wash
ington need more hogs and offer
good prices to growers. Figures
here are higher than in the Chicago
markets and there is every induce
ment for more extensive hog rails
ing.
