BOOM IN RUBBER.

Washington, Oct. 14:-An echo of
the boom in rubber that extends all
around the world is given In a re-
port from Consul General James T.
Du Bots at Singapore. An increase
in demand has caused extremely
high prices in the rubber markets
and one result has been the planting
of rubber trees on a tremendous
scale wherever the soil favors its
growth.
Du Bots says that the eastern rub
Der boom has caused the hoatation
of seventy-hve companies with thir-
ty-1ve million shares, capitalized at
nearly $8O,000,0 900, gold. The
amount actually expended by the
companies, the consul general says,
represents only a modest part of the
total value set upon these proper
ties by the specializing world.
Wide reaches of waste land on the
island at Singapore, formerly used
in the growth Of coffee and pepper,
are being planted with thousands of
rubber plants. In Malacca there
were formerly many square miles of
land covered with lalang, the hiding
place of the tigers. which have been
transported into fine rubber planta-
tons. Rubber has transformed NAL
aacca, which has for years been
largely neglected into a fiourishing
and prosperous community.

mails giving a statement signed by
John G. Carlisle, formerly Demo-
cratic Speaker of the National House

change insisting that North Caro-

issue should not be listed on the Ex-
change and that bond buyers should
have nothing to do with them.

the history and status of the repudi-

that they were issued by the State
government in 1859, and duly listed
on the New York Exchange and that

A Very Sensible Letter From One OF

of your Democratic subscribers lit
tie space in your columns? While I
claim to be a Democrat, l am not one
of the kind that can agree with the

graceful affair at the Wake County
mass meeting is better than any Re-
publican. This Is too broad an as
sertion for any sane man to make. |

sure would not take part in the cor
rupt part OF that meeting; at any
rate, they bear better fruit. Surely
there is no better way to judge q
tree than by its fruit. Neither am

would steal a vote any quicker than
he would rob a bank, if the bank
robbery was as much tolerated. Sure
ly the principle is the same. Not
long since / saw an editorial In the
New Bern Sun saying that the Re
publican party would not be called
upon to reform the Wake County
primary. Sometimes people go sc

the corrupt conversation it could b.
so in this case, and if so, a reforma
ton would be serious job to per
form by any party. I am very sur

property at the A. & NJ. College was

much havoc was wrought in the coun-

trees being uproOted.
The barn of Mr.. ]. r. Chamberlain,

lege, was completely demolished and
a valuable horse so badly injured
that it had to be killed.
1t is estimated by persons in West

that the wind reached a velocity OF
at least seventy miles an hour.
