Newspaper Office Mistakes.
Religious Herald.
■There is just one wrong date in
the Religious Herald of last week,
and that, of course, had to be one the
first page! Everywhere else in the
paper, that is to say, on twenty-three
pages, the true date, September 10th,
----' \ ■ --
is printed, but on Sie first pgge, where
the reader naturally looks for his
date, it just had to be September
3rd. The error was discovered too
late for correction and the .discovery
gave us a bad quarter of an hour.
After the little vexation w4s abated
eertairf doggerel lines of childhood
were recalled:
“I never had a piece of bread
Particularly long and wide,
But when it fell upon the floor
'Twas on the buttered side.”
We occasionally poke a little fun
at our editorial friends on account of
the freakishnes sos the types. They
have their opportunity to get back,
at us now.

A PRAYER.
If I have walked about my race and
shown no-shining morning face,
If beams from happy human -eyes
have moved me not:
Books and my food and slimmer rain
knocked at my .sullen soul in
vain,
Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
and stab my spirit wide awake.

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. .
New York, Sept. 24. —The stead
iness of the market is the subject of
much favorable comment and ap
pears to result from persistent trade
demand though such buying does not
follow- advances and there has been
more or less belated liquidation, to
day ad vgell as somewhat more
hedging, both of which have enabled
buyers to secure what they wanted"
without being forced to bid prices
till. The demand for actual is report
ed excellent from practically all
sources aud the basis, if anything, is
firmer as producers have a fixed idea
of price aud are not much in
fluenced by fluuetuations in futures.
It is becoming almost automatic
that when futures sell off the basis
stiffens while if futures advance, the’
basis grows easier. Although outside
interests are more often influenced
by supply figures which ate more
easily available than those relating
to demand the actual trade realizes
that demand is the prime factor in
determining the price and believe
that every bale of a 14.000,000 bale
crop wi)l he readily absorbed at
those levels While any development
suggesting strongly a snip Her quan
tity would be quickly reflected in
more active efforts to secure cotton
even at fairly sharp advance. The
result is that trade interests are
steadily taking up the slack in the
markets and demand from that
source would if anything, it tri-ease on
a scale down in the opinion! of com
petent judges, t
An immediate recovery from such
a- wallop as the market received yes
terday is hardly am eng tlje pvob- :
abilities but the notion of iill branch- i
cs of the trade suggest that there is
plenty of vitality left for a good re
siionse to any encouraging develop
ments. The market may drift around
present levels for a time with mod
erate fluctuations but purchases on
set-backs still looking to be more in
harmony with future probabilities
than sales even on strong spots. *

COTTON PICKING WELL
UNDERWAY IN SOUTH
I
Weedier Igist Week Favorable and
Cotton Harvesting Makes Good
Headway.
Washington, Sept. 22.—Crop and
weather conditions in southern states
for t*ae week ending yesterday were
summarized by (he department of ag
riculture today as follows: -
Fair weather prevailed during the
week in practically the whole of the
cotton belt and corn! it Tons were gen
erally favorable for field work, ex
cept for complaints of too warm in
ithe eastern half of the belt. Pick
ing and ginning made good progress,
although there was some retardation
by labor shortage in many districts.
Picking is-unusually well advanced
in Tennessee aud the staple is gen
erally good. With the warm weatil
er prevailing the bolls continued to
open rapidly in Mississippi and Ala
bama and many prematurely. The
crop has be eh mostly gathered in
Georgia and harvest is finished to a
large extent in Florida, l’aretically
all cotton is open in South Carolina
with picking well advanced, and rains
have apparently checked deterioration
In eastern North Carolina. Picking
was delayed by rain in southern Il
linois aud also in parts of the far
southwest.
Conditions by states included r
North Carolina : Beneficial gener
ous rains in north "and cast but very
light elsewhere and drought prac
tically without relief in southern
Piedmont and most of mountain area.
Showers enabled farmers to start fall)
plowing. Rains apparently checked
deterioration of cotton in east: open
hug fast and rain would be too latet
to benefit in southwest . Housing
tobacco nearly completed; results
poor in west.
/ Tennessee:. Local showers over
much of state bom-fitted sweet pota
toes. tobacco, pastures and other im
mature crops, but in some localities
rainfall very light or none. Condi
tions of cotton averages fair with
some very good; picking will be fin-j
ished, probably earliest known; staple|
generally good. General average of
corn fair ; harvest advanced and some
of late crop helped by showers. Fall
planting much delayed.
Virginia: Unusually warm; mod-i
erate showers first of week of tempo
rary benefit to pastures and late corn.!
Droughty conditions continue in most!
sections of interior. Favorable for*

Appealed For Precautionary .Measures;
Own Daughter Hurt.
Salisbury, Sept.’ s 23. —Several day
ago Cl, F. Morefield, chairman of the
police committee's of (lie city aider
men. issued an appeal for co-operation
in an effort to avoid accidents in the
neighborhood of the city high school
where automobile traffic had increas
ed on account of the opening of the
school. The school children were ad
monished to be careful and their par
ents were asked to help prevent acci
dents by instructions to the children
about driving.
By a strange whim of fate Mr.
Morelield’s own daughter, Miss May,
was the first high school student to be
hurt in an accident. She was thrown
through a windshield when a car in
which she and several other high
school students were going to school
today was in. collision with a car
driven by J. \V. Gardner, of Faith,
fortunately Miss May’s injuries con
sisted only of severe bruises and shock
and none of the others were hurt.
Stay Away From Florida.
Ihe Florida l-eal estate boom has
made money for n few people anil
lost it for nobody knows how many.
’Hie Statesville Landmark, as usual,
hits tlm bull’s eye when it advises its
readers, to stay away from Florida —
"unless you have a big bunch of
| money- a very big bunch. Even then
you might play safe by leaving about
all tiie money at home and tying it
up so you can’t draw a check.”
