Winchester nmoked. The cigar was not burning and had never burned, but it was muzzled with a small bahd of robber and bore the appearance of a fractured limb that had been spliced nd wrapped. "What sort of a'halter Is that you have on your cigar, Col. Winchester?" Inquired the reporter. "Oh, that Is a little trick or my own." declared the fine old sanitary officer, as his face lit Up with a smile, "and it works like a top. You see I have not smoked a cigar in 24 years, tout I am now trying to break myself Vrom chewing tobacco. Thin cigar gives me a dry smoke. If I do not lose It I can use it for two weeks; that rub ber band keeps it from falling to pieces." The conversation came to a sudden end, for Mr. Winchester had reached the house he was looking for. and went In to ply his trade. i PAUL WHTTLOCK'S DOG. Eclipse, the Fine Bird Hunter, Does Not Take to City Ways Ho Is a Friend of Everybody and Is Al ways Ready to Say "Good Morning" He Longs for Itoeklngham. . When Mr. Paul C. Whltlock moved to" Charlotte from Rockingham he brought with him Eclipse, his black nd white setter. Eclipse Is lost in this city, not literally lost, but he does not know how to take on city ways. Like the cauntry boy who comes to town Eclipse speaks to everybody he meets. No one Is a stranger to him; every man, woman and child is his freind. People who live on North Church street, near the Whltlock home, have become attached to Eclipse for his weet simplicity. All yards look alike to Eclipse, and when he tires of his master's front porch he cnsses over to the next door neighbor's house and drops himself there. If the owner sal lies forth to make war or friends with Eclipse his tall wags, and his eyes hlne with kindness. No humane per son could have the heart to strike him. He is friendly, kind nnd gentle-na-tured. He Is a country dog come to the city. This Is no reflection on the beautiful and charming town of Kock Ingham, the former home of Kcllpse, but It Is a compliment to Charlotte. As the writer wends his way home eary In the morning he Is mot two blocks away by Eflipsn. who hus be come lonesome and longs for the peaceful night scenes of Ilorklngham, where he can hear the singing of the frogs and the call of th whippoorwlll. One night last week, far towards day, Kclipse we"ht out into the middle of the tr?e(,. sat down and gave vent to his pent up feelings In a long and lonesome and mournful howl. lie was thinking of the cool place by the spring, where he was wont to sleep on warm, mnonllt nlirht and the pool room, where he uifd to loaf. The cry was pathetic, for Eclipse was in ear nest. It will require some weeks for the dog to get used to things here. But he has made friends, who will he patient with and kind to lilm. nly Safe and "Wholesome for All . Household nd Domestic Purpose T-An Absence or Intestinal Bacte. .

COTTOX OFF, A MTTLE,J Farmers Are Urged to Stand by Jor "V" v dam to the tast. -. - Cotton fell fto 11 cents ' pound on the local market yesterday to 10:75. The price the corresponding day last year Was 4 cents and the number of bales 38 against 83 this, year. Some of the Mecklenburg farmers are getting weak In the knees, but they are urged to hold fast now or ses their organization go to pieces. It Is not a question now of a few- more dollars a bale but a question of defeat or vic tory. The Cotton Growers' Association Is being put to the crucial test. Many farmers in this section of the country were opposed to Harvle " Jordan's scheme of jumping from 11 cents, the price fixed, and going to 35 cents, and they urged against it. They foresaw that the mill men would loin hands with the speculators and fight the or ganization. Rut the deed has been dode and the farmers must stand be hind Jordan or fall with him. Those who are in the front ranks of the Cotton Growers' Assocatton are crying hold on to your cotton and It will rise again." Up to this time the farm ers have held and it looks as if they would continue to hold, but some are scared. Mill men and growers believe that the price will go higher but it may be close to planting time before it will do so. Echo Answers. Charity and Children. 'Alice, whore art thou?"
