Suggestion (hat a movement be launched urging all Southern wo men lu wear dresses made of cot ton goods alone, in an effort to put the business of cotton farmers, cot ton mills and. allied industries back on the tracks of good husiness. It is suggested that silks and sat ins be passed up during the de pression; and that the hundreds of thousands of women connected with farms and texile trades spend their money only on goods made from cotton. Recalling the suc cess of the "buy a bale" movement early in the war, those who cham pion this new plan believe that it is a wise one and that it will receive public favor. It is considered likely that chambers of commerce and other organizations of south ern cities will be asked to aid in the plan by the local organization. POOR HOUSE VISIONS. Human nature is very much akin, is the way Josh Billings said it. And he is right, replied a Geor gia cracker friend on the train the other day. Whereupon he recited a bit of personal history provoked by the poor house talk of a Tar Heel in the little party of smokers. In 1901 and 1902, when cotton prices dropped below 8 cents and real estate was a drug in the mar ket, I lived next door, said he, to the richest man in my State He developed a nervous fit, began to walk his office floor and wring his hands, saying again and again, my wife and 1 will die in the poor house. VC'e carried him home and guarded him day and night for three months. He died of paresis, worth three and a half million dol lars in the probate court. I travel this State and the South over from end to end, and North Carolina is by long odds the rich est State in my territory; but with billions of wealth you folks seem to have my rich friend's vison of dy ing in the porr house. North Car olina may die like my crazy rich neighbor, but if the State dies any time soon it will die rich. It may die of fear, but it cannot die of pov erty. An exchange says: "Until spec ulation in farm products is curbed, the problem of marketing to in sure a reasonable return to the producer is going to be a rocky battle." There are some well-posted people who say that speculation in farm products in the long run does not hurt the producer, that it operates to increase the price just as much as it operates to reduce the price. But if gambling with cards and other devices'is against public morals gambling in farm product futures is equally subver sive of public morals. This is the safe ground for curbing speculation in farm stuff even if justice to the grower does nut demand it. TEDF.RAL JuJkc JeierC.

A world itself is builded upon my toil, my products, my honesty Because of my industry, Amer ica, my country, leads the world: Her pri speriiy is maintained by me; her great commerce is the work of my good hands; her bal ance of trade springs from the lur rows uf my farm.

And I try to do my humble part to carry out the great plan of God. Even the birds are my compan ions; they greet me with a sympho ny at the new day's dawn and chum with me till the evening prayer is said. If it were not for me the treas uries of the earth would remain securely locked; the granaries would be useless frames; man him self would be doomed speedily to extinction or decay. Through me is produced the en ergy that maintains the spark of life. I rise with the early dawn and retire when the chores of the world are done. 1 am your true Iriend. I am the farmer. PLANET DESTROYED BY HEAT Possibility That Our Own World May Meet The Same Fate Through the Rays of the Sun. Worlds, with probably millions of human beings like ourselves, have been destroyed and turned into glowing gas by a stupendous conflagration in the heavens. The suns to which these worlds belonged must have rushed into a zone of heated gas and have had its atmosphere set on fire. It was toward the end of last summer that the vast outbreak was first seen, but it was only lately that astronomers realized its awful significance. Now it is known that the star which caught fire had its heat increased by no less an amount than five hundred thou sand times in the course of a few days. Can any one imagine our own sun filling the sky with its blaze and sending forth a heat hundreds of thousands of limes greater than it does at present. Humanity would be withered as a leaf dropped into a white-hot fur nace, and the earth itself would melt with fervent heat. Yet there are those who predict such a fate as that for our planet. WOULD FERTILIZE THE AIR. Scientist Sees Immense Possibil ities in Scheme In Which He Claims Is Quite Feasible. OLD WELDON, Things That Happened 33 Years Ago in Town S and Vicinity. I April 12, ISSS.-The trestle over Beech Swamp, just this side of Enfield, was burned Monday night and consequently the trains were delayed for some hours, but the damaged trestle has been re paired and travel is now uninter rupted. We have received with the com pliments of Mr. W. T. Clement, an invitation to attend a grand fav,.r german to be given at Ox ford on the 1 Sth, under the aus pices of the Glujklich German Club. A few days ago on the farm of Mr. J. E. Hux, near Aurelian Springs, a white man while chop pi ig w hi .J accidentally siruck his fool and severed three toes. Several of our sporting people are going to Norfolk on the ISih to witness the big cock tight be tween Mr. John G. Arrington, of this county, and other parties ol North Carolina, and Charles B. Eslen, of Washington, D. C. It will continue three days. The main, we learn, is for $1,000. On Saturday as train No. 78 of the Atlantic Coast Line passed the wood house just before coming into town a stick of wood fell oft the engine and struck engineer Ambrose of the material train on the head knocking him senseless. He was sitting on the side of the track as the train passed. For a few minutes he was thought to be dead, but came to and it was found that he had sustained no material injuries. On Sunday night about 1 o'clock the store at Halifax, occupied by Mr. I. F. Dickens, took fire and was burned down. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is sup posed to have been caused by the ignition of matches by rats. This is the second fire that has visited Halifax within a short lime. Messrs. VP. B. Tilghman and N. E. Andleton left recently for Kan sas to attend the trial of a land case in which they are witnesses and will be absent about ten days. For several days VP. T. Cheek has been running the regular mail and passenger train on the Seaboard road in place of Capt. Drummond, who has been attending court. VC'e sincerely regret to announce the death of Col. Thomas Goode Tucker which occurred at his home in the upper part of North ampton county, on Saturday last in the 82nd year of his age. For A Severe Cold. '( hamherlain's Cough Kemedy cured my daughter Anna of a severe cold and cough a few yean ago and ever since then I have never missed an Opportu nity to recommend this medicine to any one suffering from throat or lung troubles. I cannot speak too highly in praise of it," writes Mrs. I), J. Shelley, Larlville, Y . Chamberlain's' Cough Kemedy contains no narcotic and may be given to children with perfect confi dence It is a pleasant syrup so they do not object to taking it. Recently men have undertaken to mine nitrates, or some of the material for nitrates, from the air. i nere is enougn in tne air, no doubt, to blow civilization off the earth were that nitrogen concoct ed into explosives. Now comes a hopeful German scientist named Riedel, who be lives that the air itself may be fer tilized to such an extent that plants will bound forth from their seeds like tennis balls. He would fill the air where plants are imbedded with carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas) Plants love this gas as a fresh-air crank loves the out of doors They use it ambitiously, but could use more. Man expels it with his breath. Plants take it up and ex pel oxygen, which man can use Thus men and plants are mutually helpful But more carbon dioxide is always a good thing for the vet; etable world, and Dr. Reidel pro poses to supply more. He would get his supply from the blast furnaces, whose great lungs expel this gas. An industry which uses 4,000 tons of coke per day expels 35,000,000 meters of gas, of which about 20 per cent, is carbon dioxide Doctor Riedel has fertilized the air in this way, and his happy plants have flourish ed amazingly. Chamberlain' Tablets Are Just What You Need. When bilious. When constipated. When yon have no appetite When your digestion is impaired When your liver is torpid. When you feel dull and stupid after eating When you have headach They will improve your appetite, regulate your bowels and make you fee) "fine as a fiddle." They are easy to take and agreeable m effoct. Abraham Lincoln was six feet, four inches tall two inches taller than George Washington.
