Tajlor. It was not my pleasure to know Mr. W. P. Taylor until about 80 years ago. Since that time until Ilia death, I have been aasociated with him in many waya, and by reaaon of tbia intimacy I learned to know him and appreciate him almost aa well aa if we had come un from boyhood together. Since hia death my mental picture of him ia chiefly as I saw him in the days of bi? health?sitting in hia office looking out across Main Street. I can hear the alow measured tones of bis voice and see the look qf friendly interest on bis face aa it was when adyised, admonished, and encouraged. This picture ia not unfamiliar to others, especially the latter part of hia life, for I know of no man who so constantly manifested so deep and continued interest in the wellfare of young people or more willingly contribut ed bis wisdom, influence and of his goods for their advancement, and their pleasure. ? Underneath this memory picture of him I feel should b$ inscribed fn fadeless letters: "Where every G?5i did seem to set hia seal to give the world assurance of a man." Mr. Taylor was gifted in high qualities and fortuned in the en dowment of manhood. My regard for tbia man was so deep that I have hesitated to at tempt this tribute; which I wished to pay him, realizing my inability to express my appreciation of bis splendid worth as a man, a gentle man. a'chriatian. and a friend. In conversation he was always enter taining for as I have remarked,^ having seen with a clear vision having caught all tones and colors and meanings of things be saw. For over a year he felt the fear ful hand of dissolution, tearing from him tbe vigor of life. Mr, Taylor met each day with a smile, and bravely oblivious of himself and hia affliction, lived calmly and ko nnilti in (ka liiuo g\4 liie lamilir ua|'|iii,T. in nuc ii>vw vi ma ibuihj and friend*, thinking of other*, interested in others, doing for others cheerful and unafraid. Even when the end was near and the shadow of the twilight had set tled upon him, with a sublime and lofty courage be waited trustfully for the touch of the 6nger of God. 1 never shall forget him as T saw him last. Mr. Taylor was one of the best men I ever saw to the colored race and to the poorer class of white men. He employed more men and gave them work, when all other works were closed down he would keep his going. He said men must have something to do?that they had their wives and children to take care of. He was a great man a$4 will lie long remembered, Ffis influence will live for years John R. Armstrong. Be Careful in What You Say. In speaking of a person's faults. Pray don't forget your own, ^ Remember those with house of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If wfe have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin, 'Tis better we commence at home And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried, Should we not like his company. We know this world is wide. Some have their faults, and who has not? The old as well as young. Perhaps we may, for ought we know Have fifty to their own. I'll tell you of a better plan And flqd It works full well, To try my own defects to cure Before of others' tell. And though I sometimes hope to be No worse than some I know, My own shortcoming bids me let The faults of others go. Then let us all when we commence To slander friend or foe Think of the harm one word may do To those who little know. Remember curses sometims like Our chickens, roost at home; Pray don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. (Published by request of Mr. B. 8. Barnes, Ahoskie, N. C.)

' Speaking for this section of the Soutli it m?y bo put down as a safe estimate that the debt the farmers have carried over for payment this fall is 25 per cent of the normal liability of this kind in the past. This excepts fertilizer accounts. These will amount to 50 per cent. On the other hand, the purchases me at this time about 50 per cent less than ordinary. Back of this is to be placed the largest crop the South has raised in many years larger crop of wheat, corn, oats, hay, but not a larger crop of cot ton. The deficit in purchases indicates that much more money is held in reserve by the people. Take thjs in connection with the small average of debts to pay and the strong fortification of big crops, and one will have the situa tion if this part of the South in a nutshell. This report would do to send the commercial agencies of the country as a mirror of con ditions hereabouts. ? Charlotte Observer, 1 .. Better Prepared to Stand Cheap Cotton. ? SITUATION IN SOUTH DIFFER ENT FROM LAST YEAR. United State* ,Chamber of Com merce Take* Optimistic View of Buaine** Otftlook ? Gloom Ha* Disappeared Washington, D. C.. Aug. 8.?A statement issued tonight by the Chamber of Commerce of the United State*, After a careful in vestigation by ita committee on statics and standards, takes opti mistic view of the business out look in general and announces that the former falling of apprehension of "something is going to happen" because,of the Europeau war, has almost entirely disappeared. The statement has the following to say regardiog the cotton situa tion in the Southern States. "The reduction in the Cotton acreage as compared with last year is approxi mately 16 per cent and combined with this is about 40 per cent de crease in the use of fertilizer be cause being confined largely to South Atlantic States. A tenta tive long distance forecast on so uncertain a matter as the total yield of cotton indicates a produc tion tbis year of about 12,000.000 bales, exclusive of linters, which possibly will run up 600,000 more though needing rain in central and southern Texas, (?wing to the wet season in some sections, there are a number of complaints of boll weevil, though it is not possible yet even to approximate the damage done. . _ "Even with low priced cotton, however, the salutation in the South will be radically different from last. Enforced economies have everywhere prevailed in the agricultural sections, old material and implements are being used in cultivating, and the cotton crop this year will be the cheapest rais ed in the way of production for many years. Consequently, the South will be in a much better condition to stand low priced cot ton this year thau last.?P. R. A. in tbv Wilmington Star.

Lost One oLHis Very Best Friends t I wish to speak a word in regard to the death of Bro. J. T. Williams, Q a man whom 1 loved. I commenc ed work for him in 1893 and worked for him about four years.
