cotiuiioit Hi'iise. The perron w ho fails
tn contribute in money or activity,
nccordiug to his ability, is doing
nist that much against the interests
of our town and toward the interest
ot some other community. So the
tiiMt point to consider in municipal
advertising is the co-operation of
our own people. 1 feel thatasub
Mtant ial foundation has been laid in
t his direction.
oi'li KKSOIIKCKS NOT VVUl'j
CIATHD. It is lamentably true that the av
eragw person knows very little about
his own town or city and its re
a .iircvs. While it is true that we
should know of our advantages a9
well, in order to correct them, these
disadvantages should not be pub
lished, but should be used by our
nelves and among ourselves to make
us realize the necessity for improve
ment. Our city should be made
clean, physically, socially and politi
cally, ami if all the people will work
together and each person tlo his
hhare we shall soon have a city
which shall advertise itself.
One of the most common contribu
tions to lessening our prestige and
importance is to "knock," and my
observation has been that those
who 'knock" are seldom found
among those who are working for
the good of the community.
It is easy to criticise, but ditlieult
to accomplish. Mr. .1. 1'. Taylor's
prominence in the business and finan
cial world would illustrate what 1
lie an by our people taking a leading
part ami which help to advertise
Henderson as a wide-awake and pro
gr.-ssive city. Think of the publicity
po-sihle by having oii' or two con
ventions here and thus obtaining
prominent space in all the newspa
pers without cost, then send out
broadcast this: Ste I lemlersoii First.
This is municipal advertising of the
highest order ami will give us pub
licity throughout thecountry and at
comparatively small cost. Again,
every business man should have his
billboards displayed at every cross
road with "See Henderson First" on
the top. C. F. TANKKIiSLKY.
The Cost of Automobiling.
( Richmond Times-Dispatch. )
We now have some basis for figur
ing out the annual na tional automo
bile bill. The statistics gathered by
the State of New York show that
more than TSO.OOO automobiles
were registered in the State and Ter
ritorial capita's on May 1st. There
are some machines which are not
registered, raising t he total certain
ly over NOO.OOO. The United States
census shows that the average cost
of the 1 JT.L'S'd cars manufactured in
I'M)'.! was a fraction over $1,500.
This applied to tho figures just stat
ed, shows that we have the enor
mous sum of l,("OO,00O,000 invest
ed. These tlirures. it must be under
stood, only cover the cost of the bare !
machine. Wind sheilds, home, extra j
tires, patent lamps and other things j
are classified as extras. Behind it i
all is upkeep, a short word covering
a multitude of costs. Interesting
figures were given out in New York
the other day which places the value i
ot the automobiles manufactured at
?:Hu,00O,OO0, and the extras and
costs of operation and repairs at
another (500,H)(). The investment,
including extras, probably is not far
from jS-2,000.000,000, and we are
putting in at least $rOO,00t),ODO
operation charges annually.
The Loudon Times and the Phila
delphia Record have lately been talk
ing about the cost of operating au
tomobiles. The times thinks that
the cost of operating a high-class car
in England including the capital
invested figures out about 12 cents
the mile. The Record puts it at 17
cents the mile in this country. Both
incept the general basis that "a day
after the machine is put in service it
becomes a second-hand machiue, and
that its life is about three vears."

Words of Big Captain.
(News and Observer.)
One of the biggest, broadest and
most successful Captains of industry
in North Carolina is Mr. D. Y. Coop
er, of Henderson, president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers' As
sociation which heid its important
session last week in Richmond. Mr.
Cooper was given this high honor
because he is recognized as one of
the most resourceful and capable
cotton mill men. It was an honor
well deserved and an honor worthily
worn. His address to the Associa
tion shows that he has given the sub
ject of cotton from the planting of
the seed until its use as a fabric
much study and that he is interested
in every fact about the staple. He
wishes to see the Southern farmer
and the Southern manufacturer
prosper and his chief desire has been
to bring them together in helpful
co-operation.
A Wonderful Hen.
A story comes from Newbern
through the Raleigh News and Ob
server Saturday of a freak hen which
is attracting much attention in that
! place. The hen belongs to Daniel
j Mosely, colored, ami is about six
! years old. One day last week a live
i chicken fell from an opening in tier
I neck. Mosely was present ami saw
j the chick fall. He examined it and
the hen was examined by a number
of doctors, who made no explana
tion. There are three more live
ones in the pouch, like a sack, on
tho hen's neck, and one under the
wing. She is well, eats well, ami, ex
cept for the pouch-like sack, is not
abnormal in appearance. Until a
year ago the hen laid regularly, but
for the past year she has not laid an
egg. Mosely thought nothing of it
until he saw the chicken faM from the
hen, when be examined her and
found her condition. The chick
lived about 2o minutes.
Aiany. Horned Cow.
I A farmer living near Greenville, S.
! C. owns a cow that is a real freak of
nature. The cow has seventeen
horns which protrude from her back
alonjr her spine. A correspondent xf
the Washington Tost, who recently
visited Greenville and saw tli cow,
says: "Each joint of the spinal col
umn seems to be the base for a horn.
j The cow is normal in every other
! way. She give9 just a little more
milk than anv other cow in the pas
ture. The owner has been offered a
m .
lanre amount of money for the cow
by museum owners, but he refuses to
sell. I might add that the farmer
has named the cow Cornucopia, and
he thinks tho name is appropri-
ate."

Decision of Supreme Court in Stand
ard Oil Case Clarifies Situation.
( Washington Post.)
The Supreme Court's decision in
the Standard Oil case clear the way
,or the P ' rk j every
man in the Uuited States.
The trust cases had been a menace
for years. The doubt hanging over
every business, good or bad, was
such that no one knew what to do.
Everybody knew that the Standard
Oil Company would have to run the
gauntlet of the highest court, but
until the court had passed upon the
anti-trust law in this typical case no
one dared to make investments or
extend his business. Everybody
marked lime. '
Now men know where they stand.
They know the limits beyond which
they cannot pass, and they know
that so long as they stay within the
boundaries they are safe
The capitalist is now free to lay
out his money in big enterprises that
will give the laborer employment.
The tools that have been in the
barn can be taken out and put to
work. The half time factories can
go a heat I and operate at full blast.
Railroad construction can proceed.
Steamship lines can lie put on.
Building operations can tie resumed,
giving woik for thousands of arti
sans. Merchants can increase their
stocks and prepare for a big trad?.
Farmers need not be afraid that
their huge crops will not be con
sumed. The thousands of unem
ployed in New York and other cities
can be set to work. The workers
can come into their own. The d iy
of the laggards is past.
It is high time that the American
people, the most enterprising and ef
fective producers and traders in the
world, should quit eating one an
other. Let. them go out and tackle
the enemy! There are enormous
fields of commerce waiting for them
new lands, commercially unex
plored reghms. South America, the
Orient, Persia, Turkey, Africa all
offer splendid inducements to Ameri
can money and enterprise. The
trade with Europe can be immensely
increased. Meanwhile, there is the
home country and its posses
sions, the best market in the world,
full of opportunities for expansion
and development.
Unless we mistake the temper of
the average man the fellow who is
anxious to attend to his own busi
ness and get ahead in the world
there is no demand for agitation
and new legislation on the trust
question. No one wants any more
uncertainty. Every one wants an
opportunity to take off his coat and
roll up his sleeves. The people have
just seen the biggest corporation in
the world brought to time by the
courts. The courts may be depend
ed upon to hew to the line between
legitimate und illegitimate business.
The good will live and be protected;
the bad will be overhauled and forced
to mend their ways. There is no ne
cessity for more laws. The public
rights are safe with the courts.
So. with clear skies, a fruitful soil,
and wise laws, let the most ambi
tious and energetie people in the
world get busy, 'ndividually and col
lectively, and make the greatest and
most prosperous nation that the
sun ever shone upon.
Cotton Spinners Up in Arms.
One of tl:3 liveliest features of the
American Cotton Manufacturers' As
sociation at Richmond last week
was the heated discussion between
Arthur E. Marsh, president of the
New York exchange, and Lewis W.
Parker of Greenville, S. C, chairman
of the committee on relations with
cotton exchanges. The occasion was
the report of this committee and the
result was practically an open rupt
ure of the strained relations which
have existed for some time between
the association and the exchanges.
Mr. Parker's assertion that the
New York cotton exchange caters j
i i i i .t. .i. .
to speculators ratuer man to me
ueeds of legitimate business, and
that the prices of cotton have been
manipulated by members of the ex
change to the great detriment of
both spinners and producers, was
cheered to the echo by the conven
tion. President Marsh warmly de-
feuded the exchange, pointing out j
that it is an association of merchants
trading in cotton, with rules in the
interest or the merchants rather than
in that of the manufacturer or the
producer.
The convection decided in favor of
Mr. Parker, adopting the report of
the committee unanimously and con
tinuing the committee for further
conference with representatives of;
the exchange and with instructions ;
that if relief is not given it shall seek ;
a remedy through legislative chan- !

Facts About the Bible.
i
The first book ever printed was I
the Bible. The first Bible was print
ed between the years 1450 and 1455 ;
at Mentz, by Gnttenburg, who is sup- j
1 . . 1 a t. J! J a 1. a. f !
posed to have discovered the art of
printing. The Old Testament was
devided into chapters as tbey now
stand by Cardinal Hugo in the mid-
die of the Thirteenth century. These
chapters were divided into verses as
we have them by Rabbi Nathan aud
adopted by Robert Stephens in edi -
tion of the Vulgate in 1555. These
chapters and verses as thus origina-
ted for the Ola Testament were trans-
ferred to our English Bible published
in 1811 under King James. The
shortest -verse in the Bible is John
11:35, the longest Esther 3:9.

Nearly every day the mail brings
to the Insurance Department a re
port of some fire with the cause given
aa "Rata uud Matches." Of course
many of these fires are really started
by rats and matches, but others are
not, ar;d the trouble is merely laid
on this too frequent cause. In some
cases the cause ia due to carelessness
and in others to criminality.
The vhole thing can be remedied
in a very simple manner 'Use Only
Safety Matches." This will put a
stop to fires really caused by rata
and matches, as well as those caused
by" the careless use of matches, and
in other ways, and laid to the charge
or "Rats and Matches." Some who
are inclined to burn their property
will le deterred by a knowledge that
it tam.ot be laid to "Rats and
Matches."
' A safety match is one that will not
6trike except on a prepared surface,
and ia therefore harmless in causing
fires. They cost no more than fric
tion or parlor matches, and their
use will do away with at least one
fourth of our firea. Why not use
only safety matches?
CLEAN UP DAY.
It is very gratifying to see so many
cities and towns having "Clean-Up
Day." It is certainly to the interest
of improved health as well as im
proved appearance in our cities and
homes. As usual the women all re
alize this, and are leading the move
ment in many places to have their
cities improved in appearance and
health. Through organization of
their clubs they are enabled. to oper
ate as a power for gobd in this and
other matters.
CLEAN-OUT DAY.
Now let us have in every cityr and
town in North Carolina a "Clean-Out
Day" a day in which we will not
clean up our streets and lots, but
will clean out our cellars and garrets,
and all parts of our houses and
premises where combustible matter
has accumulated. This will mean a
great check to our fire waste. At
least two-thirds of our fires are pre
ventive. It is right and necessary
for us to spend thousands of dollars
to support fire departments with
which to put out fires after they
once etart, but money spent" in pre
venting fires will go further and ac
complish more.
Will not our women's clubs and
municipal officers help along this
line?

A Cure For Laziness.
The Dutch are a hard working peo
ple, and have little use for the man
who is able to work and wilUiot.
The cure for laziness, when the lazy
one happens to be an able bodied
pauper who is disinclined to labor is
no L-83 effective than amusing.
When it has been determined that
the pauper is, in fact, able to work,

The farmer's business often needs a little extra financial back
ing, if it is to grow and prosper. That is one reason why he
should have a strong and willing bank behind him.
.It is an important function of this Bank to give temporary as
sistance to farmers who seek it of us, and who have demon
strated their ability to pay obligations when due.
The best way to establish a credit here is to carry an account
with us, and we cordially invite not only the farmers, but
everyone who wants to gain ground financially, to do so.

Keep The House Warm
Wouldn't it be mighty foolish
to try and heat your house from
the outside? It would be a
shameful waste of coal. Yet
some folks try and heat their
houses with poor quality coal.
Why not pay a fair price and
get coal that bums hotly and
economically? Our coal is clean
hot and even burning. Deliver
ed at summer prices now.
