The Committee who has in charge the line of prizes to be given to th wheat growers of the County under the diiectton of the Farmers Institute Committee will meet in Graham next ) Saturday, the 22nd., to announce the prizes, and with these prizes they expect to serve two objects; 1st. to stimulate the production of wheat-of better wheat-of more acraege-and more yield to the acre. Some of the mills of the county are now bhipping flour to their customers in the larger towns of the state by the car load, but made principally from northern or western wheaL This is essentially a grain prodocing county and should supply our mil*s. This county should produce thousands of bushels of No. 1 wheat where it is producing hundreds of No. 2 of this profitable cash crop-and it is a cash crop. 2nd. rhese prizes are also expected to stimulate the interest and attendance of the Farmers Institute and ever} farmer, whether he learns anything oi not, by discussing or hearing diacussel the very topics he is interested in gets an enthusiasm for this work that is very essential to his success. The speakers will be men and women especially fited to discuss the topics assigned them and they will have ideas to put before you that are worth listening to. There will be specialists along different lines and will be glad to answer any question you may want to ask-have your question ready. The business men of the county who recognize that the foundation of their success is the success of the farmer should encourage these institutes in every possible way. And you, Mr. Farmer, if these insti tutes are doing a good work, and they are, should recognize that your duty to your self, to your neighbor and to your county demands that you go J. V. Price, tax assessor of Rocking ham county, was in Raleigh last Thurs day. As a resUit of Mr. Price’s investigation at Spray, the cotton mills and the property owned by them at that place was assessed for taxation at $2,240,(MX) whereas the assessment last year was $900,000. The owners of the cotton mills protested against this increase in the assessment and appealed to the Board of County Commissioners, which now has the matter under advtse- ment. They objected to the assessment put upon their property upon two grounds: Vxrst, they say that Mr. Price has put too high H valuation upon the mills and their machinery. Mr. Price as sessed the property at per spindle for the spinning mills, which includes the buildings, machinery and entire equipment. They contend that is too high. Mr. Price contends that it is reasonable and fair. Mr. Price says he investigated the matter thoroughly before he made the assessment and was advised by experts that the cost of building and equipping a mil! was, at the lowest figure, $18 per spindle, and in making the assessment at $9 per spindle he had given the mills every possible advantage they could claim, both for depreciation and to make it harmonize with the assessment of other property.

C., which has heretofore i been unknown to medical science and j is bafflmg skilled physicians, who have | made every effort to check the malady, j which manifests itself by small blood shot stains on the tips of the fingers, passing through the arm into the body and resulting in death within a few days after the first sign appears. The plague has claimed a number of victims in Mitchell coiintv, one of whom was Dr. F. P. Slagle. Dr. Charles Buchanan, a prominent physician, became affected a few days ago and was sent to Johnson City, Tenn., hospital, where his condition is said to be critical. There are no paroxyms accompany ing the attack. The disease appears to move rapidly from the finger tips, along the arm into the body and reaches the heart within' a day or two resulting invariably in immediate and apparently painless death The people ot PHnceton near Golds boro were startled last Thursday morn ing to learn that Mr. Arthur Perceval, a young farmer living near Princeton to j and his wife had been burned to death in their house during the night. The farm hands who had ijaeen working for him the day before left them at the supper table early in the night, this be ing the last time they were seen alive. Near neiehbors, upon arising sooi\ discovered that the house was missing and upon investigation found that the charred remains of this unfortunate couple were the only things left to tell the tale. Mr. Perceval married a daughter of Mr. R. W. Edmundson last December and they were living alone. Being a popular couple there was no reason for foul play, and it is susposed that tte fire occured from a defective flue. The most drastic campaign-publicity legislation ever passed in either branch of Congress was adopted by the Sen ate Monday, practically without a dis senting vote. Using’ the pre-election publicity bill passed by the House of Representatives as a basis, the Senate constructed during the day a proposed law with the following important fea tures: No candidate for the Senate or House shall spend in the flection more than a sum equal to 10 cents for each voter in his district or State. No senatorial candidate shall spend a total of more than $10,000 in the primary and general election; and no candidate for the House shall spend j more than $5,000. _ 1 Publicity must be given to all pri mary campaign contributions and ex- i penditures. * I All general election expenses must be made public before the election, beginning fifteen days before election, and making publication each six days until election. son.

Riley of Durham was found dead in bed at his boarding house in Richmond, Va., last Saturday morning. His remains were shipped by way of Durham, his two daughters Misses Annie and Nellie Riley and his mother-in-law Mrs. Jordan and some other friends came up from Durham with his dead body Monday morning he was taken to Chestnut Ridge for interment which took place about one o’clock. Mr. Riley wa.s a carpenter by trade and was about 43 years of age He was borne and reared in Orange County near Efland and was a son of Mr. Patterson Riley. He left Orange about twenty years ago, and has since then made his home in Durham when not off at work. He married Miss Jordan of Durham who preceded him to the spirit land about fourteen years ago. Mr. Riley leaves two daughters a fathei:, three brothers and one sister to mourn tbeir loss. May he rest in peace and may God comfort and protect the two orphan daughters. Pa-Paw-Queese. Blonde or Brunette:* Discussed in Munsey’s From the beginning, mankind seems to have had a marked preference for blond things, a sense of security in their presence, a feeling that their blondness stood for a central beneficence and innocence in their nature; whereas darkness of hue has been similarly suspected as standing for hidden and possibly evil qualities and powers. It is not, I thinic, too fantastic to see in this man’s primitive fear of the dark, and to trace the universal preference for blond wigs in artificial periods to his ancient worship of the sun. The deities to which, in the terrify ing mystery of his childhood, he has turned for protection have usually been blond, as have most of those gracious personifications which em bodied his notions of unseen beneficent influences. Apollo in the south and Balder in the north were both golden haired gods; so was Dionysos, “the sprit of fire anp dew, alive and leaping in “a thousand vines,” Angels and saviors of the world have usually been imagined as blond. Man’s most appealing symbol of divine love, the Madonna, from Raphael to Rosetti, comes to us in a halo of her own golden hair. Athene is always “the gray eyed.” Aurora, Flora, Pomona, and the Graces are all blondes.—Munsey’s Magazine. ^ His At- A nice lot of pigs for sale apply to the Cook Milling Company. better Left Unsaid. “They (lumbermen) may rest as sured that the Democrats would not put lumber on the free list, it being a Southern product, unless there should be coupled with it the placing upon the free list of all article entering into competition with trust-controlled arti cles as their platform demands, and which would tend to largely cheapen the expenses of the manufacturer of lumber.” Here, as Chairman Eller says, the Democratic State execul;ive committee stood for free, lumber dur ing the last campaign, but only, as Senator Simmons says; in connection with free lumber machinery. And this assuiance was certainly circulated Uhoroughout the State, however little Mr. Eller personally may have been a party there-unto.

Misses Bessie Baity, Annie Belle, The Governor and titude to the Tobacco Trust —Senator Simmons and Swapping Horses While Crossing Streams—Judge Clark’s Candidacy Progres sing Nicely. ^ (Madison Herald.) Considerable fun is beirg had up this way over the receipt by some of the boys of letters from Governor Kitchin announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate and asking their support. The letters have elicited many a genial haw, haw from the boys, as they have long since made up their minds, in view of the fact that he has been so kind and sympathetic towards the American Tobacco Company since his inauguration as Governor, that if he ever gets to the Senate, the aforesaid wseet-scented American Tobacco Com pany will have to elect him, as far as they are concerned. Governor Kitchin chose to desert the ranks of the people in their great fight against the tobacco trust, and he has no just cause for Berta Pratt, Messrs. George Thompson, now that he is again seeking Julian Brown, Ernest Forrest and Looks Bad For The Governor. This paper apparently spoke better than it knew, when, in a previous edi torial, it voiced the opinion that a good deal of crisis confronted the Democ racy in this state. One can scarcely doubt that a period of readjustment is at hand. The Lockhart letter published in Sunday’s edition of the News and Observer, is one that can scarcely be ignored; the governor will find it un comfortably specific in its allegation that he has been tried by some of his most loyal liegemen, and found wanting.
