Dr. J. J. L. McCul lers. It is hoped by certain persons to effect a compromise and thus avert .1 long legal battle in the courts.

Mrs. Nelle Claire Fleming and her chief counsel. Col. John W. Hinsdale, will leave here this afternoon for Smithfield, where will be heard, be fore Judge R. B. Peebles, the matter of the custody of her two children who were awarded to Dr. A. H. Flem ing, their paternal uncle, by Chief Justice Walter Clark.

It U said that testimony more or less sensational will be produced at the hearing Wednesday. The real Is sue will be as to Mrs. Fleming's moral competency to care for the children, but she will introduce evidence in the effort to prove that Dr. Fleming Is not the proper person to take charge of little children. The evidence will consist of the report of the first hear ing before Judge Clark and such depositions and affidavits as i both sides may haye gathered since that time...:- ' ... -i,r ,. s r j-' The divorce case will coaitsavf 'In Wake Superior court at the October term.- t rv v '. , .'; ' The tobacco market at Apex, a thriving town In this county, opened yesterday, with indications, pointing, to an unusually good year.

Marshal Roland and Deputy Collector Freeman of the revenue de partment returned last night from Polk county and tell of a rather novel and exciting experience they had as the result of levying on some mules for unpaid whiskey taxes. A numner of friends of the owner of the mules tried to take them away from the officers. The taxes were due on whiskey thnt should have been tax paid while the whiskey was in the warehous two or three years ago. After the officers had secured the mules, the crowd gathered and followed them for some distance, coming up with the officers when they stopped, for supper. There was a woman in the party and the men put her forward in an effort to cause trouble with the officers, but with some difficulty they kept out of it and at the same time kept the men away from the mules. They brought them to Tryon and they are now ad vertised for sale. The levjr was made at Melvln Hill, near the South Caro lina line.

Edwards In New York Sun Though much has been published about the material development of the Southern states, there are yet many who do not fully understand how great has been the Industrial and agricultural progress of that section In the last ten years. At the present time the sixteen Southern states, Missouri and Oklaho ma Included, have $3,000,000,000 capital Invested in manufacturing, compared with a total of $2,790,000, 000 for the entire country in 1880. The value of the agricultural out put of these; states was last year $2, 975,000,000, against a total Value of the farm crop of the United States of $2,460,000,000 in 1880. In liOQ the total value of the farm property In these states was $3,233, 000,000, whereas the census figures re oentlr lssusd show that In 1808 the value ot farm property rn these states was $T,98,0Q0,00(J, a gain, of over $4, O00,0O,0O0 in that decade. This Is four times as great as the aggregate national banking capital of the United States. -'' . ..'.' ', These figures Vindicate ' something of the marvelous change which has ( come about in the agricultural inter- ests or tne aoutn. unis gam oi 000,080,000, or 12S per cent, showed an Increase In the rate of agricultural wealth seven times as great as the rate of Increase in population.' '- , To a considerable extont this won derful change is due: to the higher prices of cotton In the last ten years, but this in not by any meuns the only reason. ' Notwithstanding tile better prices of cotton of late years, Southern farmers are giving more and more attention to diversified agriculture, nnd In this respect are returning to the Bjstem that prevailed before I860, when the production of grain and live stock was relatively for greater In proportion to population than it is to-day even after a" the advance of the last ten years. The cotton crop of 1898-99 or 11. 274,000 bales was wortlyseed Includ ed, about $830,000,000.' The crop of 1909-10 of about 11,500,000 bales was worth to southern farmers $963, 000,000.. The difference strikingly Il lustrates the importance to the south of good prices for cotton as compar ed with the starvation figures of the low price period from 1892 to 1901. The southern former is no' longer compelled to concentrate on ' cotton growing: he finds in diversified agri culture, due to the . development In part of the home market throughthe growth of manufacturing interests and cities and to the enormous In crease in the demand from the north and west for early fruits and vegeta bles, such profitable opportunities that It may safely be said this section will not for many years, if ever, except perhaps in an occasional year of un-ugciti.- favorable crop conditions, in crease Its production of cotton to such an extent as to Injure Its agricultural prosperity by bringing an era of low prices. Indicative of the Increasing pros perity of the farmers of the south during this ten year period was the advance In the value of farm build ings from $885,000,000 to $1,672,000, 000, a gain of nearly $800,000,000. Notwithstanding the great Increase in the value of the smith's agricultural output the development of its Indus trial and mining interests has been so great that the value of the output of Its mines and Its factories now largely exceeds the value of the output of its farms. In the last fiscal year 47 per cent, of the total exports of the United States originated in the south, and 36.4 per cent, passed through southern ports. In that, year the value of the foreign exports f rum Galveston ' was twice as great as the total value of the combined exports from all the pnrts of the Pad tie coast of the Unit ed States. The value of the foreign exports from Galveston exceeded by $38,389,822 the. combined foreign trade of San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. , t , Facts such as ..these could he given without end aa, illustrations of the NEW" SUITS NEV I 'NEW- DRESSES LThe NeyStyleslAre.

NEW" SrtiRTS substantial development lri manufac tures, 'In' mgrlcultUreand In foreign commerce which Is seen throughout' the whole south: And yet these facts do not tell the whole story. This In creasing wealth of the south Is find ing an expression in every line of hu man activity. It is seen in the build ing of towns and cities. In the con struction of good roads, In municipal Improvements, In the building- of schools, churches and more costly dwellings. Last year the south expended upon the maintenance of public schools (considerably over $50,000,000, or more than twice as much as the United States expended upon public educa tion In 1880. These facts, however, are more In teresting as suggestive of what Is yet to be accomplished In the upbuild ing of the south than of what has al ready been achieved. This section, now beginning to accumulate capital and to be recognized by the Investors of other sections as the coming cen ter of -American -development, should make far greater progress In the next ten years-then jt has madw in the last twenty.; Its railroads will unquestion ably be taxed to their utmost capacity to keep up with the Increasing traih) of the south. Its shipping facilities must be greatly expanded In order to take care of the rapid growth of Its commerce, foreign and domestic. The development ot Its Iron and steel Interests will be on a far larger scale In the future than In the past. The recent congressional - Investiga tion, which Is bringing conspicuously to the front the fact that the Steel corporation owns only about 20 per cent of the available ores of the south Instead of a monopoly ' as some had supposed, will result In turning cap ital Into the utilization of the vast ore resources of this section. With the proximity of coking coal and iron ores which cannot bar duplicated anywhere else In American it Is absolutely cer tain that the Iron and steel Interests of this section will grow with great rapidity as the increasing require ments of the south and of foreign countries which can be reached from the south furnish an ever widening market for the steel products of this section. ' With manufacturing capital exceed ing that of tne United States In t880 with an agricultural output exceeding in value by half a billion dollars th value of the crops ot the United States In 1890 with an increase In ten years In' agricultural wealth four times as great as the present national banking capital of the United States surely the south Is now in a position to begin Its real upbuilding. What It has accom plished is merely the getting of Its tools together to mRke ready for the acUvlties upon which it is now pre paring to enter. , , ' Ladles' who are nervous, weak and discouraged from long standing ail ments In the generative organism will And relief and the speedy restoration of health and strength In DR.
