Outlived Sectional Feeling.
With the consideration of Mr. Da
vis’ political career the speaker dis
cussed at some length the issues
which led to the Civil war, mainly
the right of secession. He said:
“Mr. Davis accepted the ideas of
the eminent makers of the constitu
tion and believed that they had or
dained and established a general gov
ernment, which had ample powers to
conduct the states to the broadest and
loftiest national glory, without having
conferred a grant or even one power to
oppress any citizen or class of citizens
nor to discriminate against a section
or scourge a state.” Quoting Mr. Da
vis’ words, “As long as I held a seat
in the Senate my best efforts were
directed to the maintenance of the
constitution and the union resulting
from it, and to make the general gov
ernment an effective agent for its pre
scribed purposes. As soon as the para
mount allegiance due to Mississippi
forbade a continuance of these efforts
I withdrew from the position.”

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO.
Loopers, S. C., February 5, 1907.
The Raney Canner Co.,
Chapel Hill, N. C.
Gentlemen: —In regard to the No. 2
canner I bought of you last season, I
must say I am more than pleased
with it. When I bought it I only in
tended using it for my own goods,
but I canned for my neighbors as well
as myself. I ordered my outfit late in
the season (July 12th), as you re
member, and put up (10,000) ten thou
sand cans. My fruit is certainly fine.
It has the natural flavor. My goods
are pronounced “the very best” by
all who have tested them. I
expect to purchase a larger outfit
from you this season and can on a
larger scale.
To sum it all up I must say Raney’s
Canner is good enough for me.
With best wishes and a prosperous
season for you, I am,
Yours very truly,
W. H. WILLIAMS.

Will You Join Us
In Making A Fortune ?
Nothing so surely offers as safe an investment and large returns
as a good manufacturing stock. Probably you do not realize how
many people that are enjoying a regular income as the results from
investing in manufacturing stocks. There are thousands of them
and they are largely those who bought their stock when the op
portunity was first offered to secure shares at a low price before the
Company had been fully developed.
Stocks of many manufacturing companies have advanced from
a few dollars a share to prices ranging from SIOO to $5,000 a share
m value, and besides have paid back to the investors in dividends
many times what they first invested. Many of the companies are
paying from 50 to 100 per cent in dividends on the first price for
stock.
Twenty-live years ago, Bell Telephone stock sold at $1 a share;
this stock has increased in value to over SI,OOO a share.
A lew yeais ago, Linotype Machine stock sold at $25 a share;
this stock is worth over SI,OOO a share today on the open market.
To grasp s..ch an opportunity, purchase stock in the Empire
Machine Company at $25 a share. This company is in the hands
of men whose ability and integrity cannot be questioned, and these
men pledge themselves to see that each and every investor in the
enterprise receives an equal division of the profits.
CONCRETE,
Concrete has long been recognized as the building material of
the future; its development as such is becoming a necessity. That
some new material is needed is proven by the diminishing supply
of wood, which is estimated will all be cut in 20 years.
Wocden buildings have practically a short life of usefulness,
and buildings of brick, although they have a longer life, are sub
ject to weather conditions and will eventually disintegrate. Con
crete, on the contrary, when subject to the same conditions, becomes
stronger as time goes on.
The Empire Machine Company has just been organized as man
ufacturers of Concrete Block Alachines, Concrete Brick Alachines,
Concrete Mixers, Concrete Sidewalk Alachines, Concrete Fence Post
Afachines, etc.
Tiiis company has been incorporated with a capital stock of
$250,000, divided into shares of par value, SIOO a share, temporary
price, $25 a share.
Our Afachines are fully protected by United States and Foreign
Patents. There is over 300 per cent profit in their manufacture;
this enormous profit and the rapidly increasing demand for Concrete
Alachincry should make this s-b-ck pay dividends of 50, nr even
100 per cent a year in the rear future. Dividends will be declared
semi-annually.

THE AMAZING ECONOMICS OF ME
MORIAL DAY.
(Continued from Page 1.)
plain what the remaining $8,000,000,-
000 represents?
To speak about “value” in the
vague, reckless way manifested in
these remarks is extraordinary in a
long-deliberated public address. What
under the sun does it mean to say
that the “commercial value” of the
railroad property of the country is
worth as much as the securities rep
resenting it? The presence of the
men that get rich from stock-water
ing is that their practices are justified
because a property can rightfully be
capitalized up to its earning power.
Is that what the president means?
The net earnings of a railroad this
year may be $2,000,000, whereupon,
according to this pretence, its capi
talization should be $40,000,000, allow
ing 5 per cent as the proper and nor
mal rate of dividends. Next year the
road may go into the hands of a re
ceiver and its net earnings be noth
ing. Then, according to this brilliant
theory of economics, and according to
President Roosevelt’s deductions, the
capitalization also should be nothing.
“loose talk?” Well, rather; so
loose it rattles.
What the country would really like
to know from President Roosevelt or
some other eminent authority is this:
Since more than one-half of the cap
italization of the American railroads is
fictitious, and since on this fictitious
capitalization the public must furnish
the dividends and interest charges,
how large a proportion of the present
freight rates and passenger rates could
be scaled off if the capitalization were
real instead of fictitious?
To one not enlisted in a third-term
movement it would seem much more
important to answer this question
than to reassure Wall street at a time
when Wall street is doing quite well,
and when the only persons that need
reassuring are the tin-horn gamblers
that, securing an advance copy of the
president’s speech, use it to fleece
some unwary victims of their game.
