should ascertain how much these cor
porations have been paying TO their
stockholders in dividends, how much
money they have actually invested in
sheir plants. what they pay in salaries

have issued against their properties.

that what Is needed most at this time
IS a lower rate OF charge In the case
OF the street railway companies, 1t Is
probable the first benefits should be

The primary value of the taxation IN

made, and no bin pertaining to this

Choice of Two Fine Books
Roosevelt in Africa

NO JOURNEY OF MODERN TIMES has at
tracted such great attention or excited such great in
terest as Roosevelt's journey through the Wilds of
Africa in search of the Big Game Of that Dark Con-
tinent. The rising generation have been brought to
a more interesting realization Of the Marvellous Won
ders of the Heart Of Africa.
This story Of magnificent achievement and wonder
full discovery, thrills and captivates the reader. Not
only Roosevelt's journey is fully described, but also
experiences Of Stanley, Livingstone and Baker, in ex-
ploring the unknown wilds Of this most wonderful
region.
ROOSEVELT, THE GREAT AMERICAN
HUNTER AND NATURALIST, goes to Africa
where the game is larger and more abundant and
there he shoots the largest and most ferocious of all
beasts the Lion, Rhinocerus and Elephant, and gets
the finest specimens of Monkeys and other animals.
ROOSEVELT WITNESSES the STRANGE
CUSTOMS of the strangest of all the Worlds Peo-
pie. Freaks of Medicine Men and Rainmakers. Pc
culiar Marriage Customs. Horrible antics of the
Wizards and Snake Charmers, Great Warriors that
make civilized people laugh, and Slave Drivers that
make Christian people cry.
The story Of the African Explorations of these
Wonderful Travellers is a Brilliant Panorama OF
Tropical Wonders that interests and educates the most
languid. Every page is full of thrilling incidents and
startling scenes, and the secrets of yesterday become
the knowledge of the world today.
A vast Treasury of all that is marvellous, interest
ing, wonderful and instructive in the Dark Continent
and with graphic descriptions of the mighty rivers,
wonderful cataracts, inland seas, vast lakes, great for
ests and diamond mines Of untold wealth.

Roosevelt Among the People

Not since the time of Napoleon has there been a
man OF affairs on the worlds stage who has attracted
the attention of all nations and classes of people as
does Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt.
The people of America are anxious to know where
Roosevelt stands on the many problems of national
Importance confronting us today.
WHAT HAS HE AID ON THE, VARIOUS SUB-
~JECTS-WHAT POSITION WILL HE
TAKE IN THE FUTURE.
ROOSEVELT AMONG THE PEOPLE is an
authentic account of Ex-President Roosevelt's famous
speeches on the great questions of today: The Tariff,
The Trusts, Monroe Doctrine, The Worker and the
Wage-earners, The Army and Navy, The Philippines,
Currency, Irrigation, Conservation, Education, Char
actcr, Good Roads, etc, etc.
The value of this book really lies in the fact that
over his own signature Mr.. Roosevelt has declared it
to be authentic.
Another valuable feature of the book is the Sixty
Three Full Page Halftone Illustrations. These are
reproduced from photographs taken in many states
and shows the popular and versatile Ex-President sur
rounded by great throngs of people.

A Big Dinner.

On Thursday, 18th inst, Mr.. R. J.
Madry, one of our leading farmers
and business men, gave great feast
at his country home about two miles
from town. This annual dinner and
reunion of children and grand-chil-
dren was the custom with his moth
err, the late Mrs. P. J. Madry, and
Mr.. Madry following up this custom
has continued to give these nice
spreads each August
There were at least two hundred
guests present from the town and
community, and to say that all en-
joyed the dinner of barbecue and
Brunswick stew, country ham, with
cake, pickles, and other good eata-
bles, hardly expresses it. There was
a plenty to eat and some to spare.
Mr.. and Mrs. Madry are certainly
roval entertainers, and those pres
ent were unstinted in their praise
for the excellent dinner and the nice
manner in which the we're treated.
Among those from distance we
note the following: Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Bullock and son, Julian, OF
Conetoe, Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Wors-
ley, of Rocky Mount, Mrs. Bette
Bullock and children, of Rocky
Mount, Mrs. L. T. Allsbrook, and
two sisters, Misses George and Kate
Burch, of Richmond, Va, Mr.. J. w.
Brown, manager for H. F. Hunt, OF
Petersburg, Va, and Mr.. Hill,
travelling salesman for Armour &
Company.
Quite a number of the guest pres
ent at the dinner took look at Mr..
Madry's fine crops Of corn, cotton
and peanuts. They all pronounced
it the best crop seen in this section
His entire crop Of cotton will average
more than bales to the acre.
