An Ambition and a Record i / 'Y'HE needs of the South are identical with the needs of the Southern Railway : the growth and success of one means the upbuilding of the other. The Southern Railway asks no favors ? no special privilege not accorded to others. The ambition of the Southern Railway Company is to *ee that unity of interest that is born of co-operation between the public and the railroads; to see perfected that fair and frank policy in the manage ment of railroads which invites the confidence of governmental agencies; to realize that liberality of treatment which will enable it to obtain the additional capital needed for the acquisition of better and 'enlarged facilities incident to the demand for increased and better service; and, finally? To take its niche in the body politic of the South alongside of other great industries, with no more, but with equal liberties, equal rights and equal opportunities. " The Southern Serves the South."

FOR CATALOGUE WRITE F. S. LOVE, President, ?? - - # Louisburg, N. C Where Joffre First Was Famous. Franco first heard the name of Joffre in 1894, when he was 38 years old. He was south of the Sahara in Africa, a Major in the French Ar my, when suddenly his name rang through France as "The Hero of Timbuktu." Years ago, he told how it all happened in a little book that was translated into English under the ti tle of "My March to Timbuctoo." It is a modest, simple narrative, so con densed in style, so full of weighty matter pithily presented, that it can not fail to remind the reader of Cae sar's "Commentaries." He had been sent to Senegal, French West Africa to build a rail road from Kayes, at the head of navigation on the Senegal River, to the Niger. This route would give river and rail transportation between the French Atlantic ports in Africa and the famous City of Timbuktu. The world is, today, thus linked with this once mysterious trade mart in inner Africa. It was known that the merchants of Timbuktu were handling a trade of some millions of dollars a year along the caravan routes across the Sahara; and that this commerce was greatly handicapped by the Tuareg of the desert and the Fula of the Sudan who were alternately masters of Timbuk tu, as one or the other gained the ascendency. Each race, in its turn, exacted enormous tribute as the price of permitting industry and commerce to be carried on; and the helpless people of the city were on the verge of destitution and despair when France decided to go to their relief. While Major Joffre was pushing his railroad forward as fast as possi ble, Colonel Bonnier was dispatched with troops to the relief of Timbuktu; and some time after, Joffre was? or dered to leave the railroad in other hands and lead another body of troops to that city. He made a wonderful march of about 500 miles under very difficult circumstances, for the Niger was in flood, no boats could be ob tained, and the troops had to march, heavy laden with supplies, through dense scrub, beyond the river's reach. In spite of these impediments, Joffre gained rapidly on the advance party; but he did not hear till he was within a few miles of Timbuktu that the Tua regs, who were then masters of the city, had killed Colonel Bonnier and most of his men. Then Joffre turned defeat into splendid victory. He had his force within the city almost before his pres ence was known; and he trounced the Tuaregs so effectively that in a few hours he was master of Timbuktu, to the great joy of its inhabitants. He so firmly established French suprem acy over that town and the whole of Northern French West Africa that the vast region has never again been in jeopardy. The hero of Timbuktu suddenly became one of the marked men of France; and the steady ad vancement that came to him culmin ated, early in the present war, in his supreme commandership of the French forces, and later in the posi tion, recreated for him, of Marshal of France. ?

North Carolina leads the Cotton Beli States in the per-acre production of cotton in 1916, as usual. Our average was 215 pounds to the acre. Virginia averaged 310 pounds; but any one of a half dozen counties in North Carolina produces more cotton than the whole State of Vir ginia. Missouri averaged 225 pounds, but the total crop of Missouri was less than that of Johnston and Wayne Counties, North Carolina. California produced 400 pounds to the acrc, but her entire crop was only 42,000 bales, or barely more than Johnston County produced alone in 1916. Named in order of cotton produc tion per acre the States rank as fol lows: State. Pounds. California 400 Virginia 310 Missouri 225 North Carolina 215 Arkansas 209 Tennessee 206 Louisiana 170 Georgia 166 South Carolina 160 Texas 157 Oklahoma 154 Mississippi 125 Florida 105 Alabama 79 Poor Alabama, afflicted by bad sea sons as well as the boll weevil, got barely more than a seventh of a bale to the acre. Her crop fell from 1, 700, 000_ bales in 1914 to barely more than 500,000 bales 1916. In another year or two Georgia and South Carolina will suf fer the maximum loss from boll weevil ravages. ?
