SLAVE HOLDERS IN NORTH
CAROLINA IN 1850.

Nor instance, in the 1860 census
it appears that the Shareholders in
North Carolina at that time num-
bered $4,000. They owned 331 ,OO9
slaves. Nine-tenths of the white
population, Fl years of age and
older, and nearly three-fourths of the
white farm owners held no slaves.
Altogether 1880 slave holders had
from one TO three slaves each, main
ly as household servants, cooks,
maids, buffers, drivers, gardeners,
and the like. Only eleven owned
from 200 to 800 each; and only four
owned from 800 to 500 each. These
four largest slave-holdings were in
Bladen, Chowan, Orange, and Stokes.
Nobody in North Larolina owned
more than 500 slaves. Only one
planter in the entire South owned a
thousand of more slaves.
There were some Shareholders in
every one of the SO counties; fewest
in Watauga, 81: and most in Wake,
1895. Nearly one-half of the slaves
in Wake, 4,786, were owned or held
in Raleigh. The largest number of
planters owning slaves lived in
Granville county, 1905.

What Gentiles Could Learn.

From an article, What it Means
to be Jew" in the June American
Magazine:
let me suggest few things that
a closer contact, socially especially,
would mean to the GentiIes and
what they might learn from the
Jews: (a) Ideal family life; Co Fill
ial love and respect; (c) Devotion;
CD Self sacrifice; (e) Brotherly and
sisterly love; G) Honesty; (g) Fru'
eality; (h) Studioasness; Cd Whole
some food and surroundings; % En-
tertainment of I'D and young; (k)
Absence of domestic scandal; Cd
Unsevered marital ties; (m) lndis-
criminate charity; (n) Temperate
habits; (o) Real friendship; CD In
dustry. But why extend the list,
which might almost result in a new
alphabet?'
The author of the article is Jew
himself, but these are truths, and
powerfully important ones. at that

PEACE.

By DR.. John Grier Hibben, President
of Princeton, before Lake Mohonk
Conference, May 10.
By all means let us pay any price
which can buy peace-restraint of
passion, long suffering, sacrifice of
material wealth or of every personal
convenience and comfort. Let us
sacrifice it all, everything which can
buy peace. But let us not forget
that there are some things which
cannot buy peace. If we sacrifice
them in order to secure peace, the
peace thus sought comes before us
the veriest torment of living hell.
We dare not trade honor for peace:
we dare not betray duty in order
that we may bargain for peace
We dare not indulge ourselves in
the enjoyment of the blessings of
peace while we turn deaf ears to the
cry OF distress or to the summons
of righteous cause.

Two Better Than One.

Vice President Marshall approves
of woman suffrage. He is most "a.
tional in his assertion, Il sincerely
believe that the mothers of this land
should be allowed to vote on public
questions, but l do not hold the be-
lief that equal suffrage is cure-all
for everything bad in our society.
No reasonable man or woman re-
CARDS suffrage as panacea, but ii
is the one remedial agent for leeis-
lative conditions which react on the
social body.
1T is reasonable to infer that the
demand of men and women voters
can bring about better conditions
than the vote of one sex alone"

Presuming Upon The Sympathy o
America.

/
America.
The neutrality of the United
States finds little respect in Great
Britain and Germany because both
of these empires have been disap-
pointed in it. Both presumed on
our friendship, and each expected
to profit by it at the expense of the
other. Both wanted a champion.
If we had met the wishes OF Ger
many in all respects, our citizens,
ships and cargoes would not have
been exposed to the murderous
perils of submarine and aerial at
tack. If we had taken orders from
London, our property at sea would
not have been seized and tied up in
British prize courts.
We are under coercion from both
sides-not to continue or strengthen
our neutrality, but to break it down,
Germany promises to cease SUBJ
marine assassination of merchant
men if we will compel Great Britain
or abandon its so-called blockade of
foodstuffs. In other words, we ask
ed to become an ally of Germany.
Great Britain will not interfere
lawlessly with our shipping if we
forego, as a war measure against
Germany, our undoubted right to
trade with other neutral nations.
To accept British terms would be to
act practically as an ally of Great
Britain.
The same pressure was put upon
the United States early in the nine
teenth century by Great Britain and
France, the latter then dominated
by Napoleon Bonaparte. Both
scouraged our commerce, and each
had the impudence to say to us that
if we compelled the other to change
its war policies it would no longer
deny us our rights at sea. Such con-
ditiOns became intolerable then.
They cannot be accepted now.
The governments of London and
Berlin are peesuming upon American
sympathy. They are not attempt
ing to do justice. They are looking
for assistance. Both are mistaken.
There will be neither sympathy nor
assistance here for any belligerent
that trespasses upon the rights of
the United States. ---New York World

After. Uncle Sam for AIDE
quate Pay.

Atlanta, Ca, May 30.-Railroad
executives representing 80 per cent
of the entire mileage of the country,
among them officials of the leading
southern roads, at recent meeting
approved the course of the Commit
tee on Railway Mail Pay in its efforts
to secure from the U. $. govern
ment adequate compensation for
transporting the mails and urged
that Congress enact a law giving
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the same jurisdiction over mail
traffic. that it now has over other
classes of traffic.
Unanimous approval was given
the following reforms of the present
law which the committee has urged:
l. That the mails be weighed and
the pay readjusted at least once a
year on every railway mail route
instead of once in four years, as at
present.
2. That the railroads be paid for,
or relieved from, the duty of carry
ing the mails between railroad sta
tons and postoffices.
3. That the railroads be paid fl +
apartment postoffice cars-for which
the present law allows no pay-on
a pro rata basis with the compensa-
ton for full railway postoffice cars.
Among the lines operating in the
south represented at the meeting
were: Southern Railway, Norfolk &
Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, 1lli-
nois Central, Louisville & Nashville
and Nashville. N. C. & St. L., r. F,

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

HE MAIL ORDER HOUSE.
l. You shall sell your farm pro.
ducts for cash whenever you can
but note to us. We do not buy
from you.
2. You shall believe our state
ments and buy all you need from us,
because we want to be good to you,
although we are not personally &C.
quainted with you.
3. You shall send the money in
advance to give us chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money. Meanwhile you will have

est city to add you in building good
roads so that you can conveniently
get the goods from the depot, for
we do not building country roads.

men in your city as much money as
you can for the benefit of the

churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from
us and be your own mechanic in
order to drive the mechanics from

less money you have in your COM
munity the sooner we can put your

charge you any price we please.
8. You shall look often at the
beautiful pictures in our catalogue
so that your wishes will increase
and so you will send in big orders,
although you are not in immediate

some necessary goods from your To-
cal merchant.
9. You shall have the merchant |
who repairs the goods you buy from
us book the bills SO you can send
the money for his labor to us for
new goods, otherwise he will not

10. You shall in case of Sickness
or need apply to your local dealer
for aid and credit, as we do not know
you nor care to.

Down With the Demon Auto

Henry FORD, the automobile man
ufacturer, has launched a cam.
paign against cigarettes and has en-
listed the aid of his colleague, Thos
A. Edison. Their aim is to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of cigar
cites. If this mania for prohibiting
one thing and another continues it
may get beyond the control of even
the Fords and the Edisons. Some
chap. looking around for something
to reform, will perhaps discover the
frightful things for which the auto
mobile is directly to blame. AS
founded by his discoveries he will
set about to organize an Anti-Auto-
mobile Association. Thousands will
flock to his standard. Then they will
elect a man to the legislature and
that man will introduce bill to
prohibit the manufacture, sale and
use of the automobile. He will have
STAGGERING arguments to back up his
demand. He can present a petition
signed by the pastors and members
of a certain religious body in lndi-
ana, praying for the passage of the
bill on the broad grounds of moral
ity. This sect already has forbidden
its members to buy or use automo-
biles. The legislator will make a
thrilling speech, bristling with ire
futable statistics and interpreted
with appealing and pathetic word
pictures. He will point to the fact
that 10 persons a day, over 300 a
year, including strong men, beautl-
full women and innocent little chill
dren. meet violent deaths on &C
count of the demon automobile. He
will Depict graphically, the man
eled bodies, the desolate homes, the
weeping orphans of the poor vic,

Turning to the divorce courts he
will prove by the official reports that
the automobile joy ride has clogged
the hoppers with cases of wrecked
domesticity. He will show how pure,
innocent young girls are daily led to
their ruin by some soulless scoun-
drels who run automobiles. tie Will
point to the mortgages hanging over
thousands of American homes. mort
cages NEGOTIATED for the purpose OF
raising funds to buy and keep up
these inventions of Satan. He will
show how the millions spent for au

Panama Canals and pay national
debts. He may point to the easo'
line barons, the rubber magnates
and the auto mllllonaires rolling in
their ill-gotten wealth. while their
poo1 victims are struggling through
the divorce, probate, chancery and
bankruptcy courts. He will call upon
the manhood and womanhood OF our
fair land to arise in its might and
crush this monster which today Is
