the sum of one hundred and fifty
pounds currency. which fact goes to
show, of course, that the transaction
could not have taken place in North
Carolina, as there was never horse
foaled in that state that was worth
half that much Now, we lave known
some North Carolina asses which
thought they we're worth all that they
would fetch or could get. Speaking
in the language of Texas. we would
say that this discovery of Historian

In fact, with all its good points, the
bill lacks one essential. 1t provides

State bank. 1t gives some protection

the bill will not operate a year. Be-
fore it has been in force nine months
as it now stands, it might as well be
taken off the statute books.
The trouble is simple one. There

surance. The banks, and not the State
were to pay for it. Every dollar tina,
the bureau receives is to come from
fees paid in by the banks which are
inspected by the accountants of the
bureau. When these resources fail the
bureau must close. When the banks
have paid their fees they have no fur
ther responsibility. They cannot be
| further assessed
| But the fees stipulated in the bill
will not cover the expenses OF the bu-
reau. AT a most conservative estimate
the bureau can be operated for about
$4,000 the year. With less than that
sum it's work could only be partial,

We're to pay the precise cost of the
work-no more, no less.
But the scale OF fees us fixed by the
Williams bin was regulated. not by the
total resources OF the bank, but BY
capital, surplus and undivided profits,
The result is obvious: the banks pay
less than they would under the oris-
nal bin. Experts who have worked the
matter out find that the total OF all
assessable fees Will not be over $4,000

GO SLOW WITH THE NEW SCIENCE

GO SLOW WITH THE NEW SCIENCE
When new medical sciences are born
almost daily, it is a difficult task TO
classify each and every one of them.
1t WAS not easy, for example, when
rhinologists were first heraldcd among
the medical men, 10 know whether
they were the self-ordaned prophets
of n new scientific dispcnsation, or tho
followers of the long revered and ever
respected allopaths.
on this broad ground we have hest
tated to comment on the bill regulat-
ing the science of chropractice, as 1t
made its way from the Senate to the
| House and as 1t ascended the calendar
until ii is now on its third reading
| We were not quite sure what chiro-
| practice was. To condemn it unheard
| might be TO drive from the State some
| approved and meritorious branch OF
TO license quackery and TO put 9
premium on charlata,nism of the worst
type.
1T now develops, from the debates
in the House, that chiropractice is q
form of osteopathy, differing from it's
parent science in some respects, and
devoting itself to the treatment of
the nervous system. It teaches, we
are informed, that practically all the
woes TO which flesh is heir have their
origin between the mcdulla oblongata
and the coccyX BY treating the spinal
column. according 10 their particular
methods, the chiropractitloners can
cure appendicitis, can stamp out yell
low fever, can dispense with the open
air treatment of tuberculosis, can
cure typhoid fever in few days. In
a word, their science can do all that
