V Washington, July 4. Tests che department of agrclulture have shown that long staple cotton of a spinning ' quality equal to the standard Mls- ! slssippl delta grade may be produced iby scientific methods on the Carolina uplands. The department, announcing 'this conclusion, declared the general Impression that the uplands were un suited fox production of long-stapJe types 'Was. due to "lack of understand ing of the-proper methods to be used wit hthe seed and at the gin." Previous tests had shown, the de partment's statement continued, that other parts of the southeast was cap able of producing the 1 Inch staple, and recent investigation has convinc ed experts that the cotton of this lo cality and type, while not so strong - as'.that of the deltas is less "wasty" The Blue Sky. The blue sky which,, reveals Itself as the hemispherical vault of the firma ment In the absence of clouds is the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which they receive. The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air ore of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vi brations that is, with the "blue" un dulations. There are a few faint in termingllngs of the other colored rays In the blue of the sty, but they are In such trifling quantity that the blue swallows them up. Stockholm, July 4. The campaign for an alliance between Norway and Sweden continues without a dissenting note. Prominent poltlclans of all par ties are advocating such a course on the public plaftorms, and in the news Daoers. The movement, however, still lacks any official action. Sven Hedln, the Swedish explorer, and Siguld Isben, haxe exchanged vis- Its between Stockholm and Christia na, and each found public sentiment noroPHhln to the nroDosed alliance. The irreconcilable differences which led to the disruption of the union be tween the two countries in 1905, and whtoh bnrelv escaDed causing war, seem to have smoothed out to the ex tent at least that both peoples de sire to unite in in a defensive alll-. ance against possible Kusalan aggression. The Increase In the army and navy of Sweden, Instead of exciting the concern of Norway, is greeted there wuh the utmost saitsi.-vjuon. it is Si'd. tmrt Norway Itself has a strong movement underway for an Increase In armaments. Isben, In his lectures here, has armied that the two foreign offices and the general Btaffs should have some formal arrangement for working together In case of war. Electrlo Lights, An English authority assures us that we need not be afraid that the ultra violet rays In the electric light will harm our eyes, for the reason that, since glass of all kinds is opaque to these rays, no form of Incandescent lamp having a glass bulb can emit them.

Ostprmpvfir nri Wfttaon did the Alph.onse and Gaston act in the first on Emery's sacrifice and as a result Emery went to first.

"Doc" High Is no longer with W'ln-ston-Salem, having drawn his relea&a this week. This leaves but three other clubs for the "Doctor" to try in this league, Greensboro, Durham and Ral eigh, as he has unsuccessfully been a Hornet, Mountaineer and Twin. "Doc" at times seems to be a good pitcher, but he failed to get control this year and then he has not the staving quail ties.

McManus has pitched three double headers this season. He sure Is soma "Iron Man" and when "Wild Bill" Morrlsette goes- up against him, the latter seems like a mere amateur. Hickman and Schumaker are run ning a close race for the home run honors In the league, for "Hick" has seven to his credit and "Schu" is given credit for eight this season. The North Carolina league will be half over after the games this after noon. The first half of the season has perhaps ben the moBt eventful In the history of the league, for many things of an extraordinary nature have happened. It is Just about as hard now to pick a winner In this league a it is to settle the Mexican question. Of course all of us have a "hunch," but then It Is just a case of who Is the best guesser. Raleigh Times: "Myers always pitches a good, game, but he never has been able to defeat Asheville. That club Is his Jinx, and he ought not to be sent against certain defeat any more." Greensboro News: "Ever since he assumed the management of the Box ers, Jack Corbett has been employing wily tactics to bring breaks Ashevllle's way. When leading in a time-limit game on the home grounds. Jack witched his players to stretch the contest and yesterday he instructed his crowd to get themselves out wnon rain threatened at Prince AJbi.rt park." "Charlie Clapp, whose homer pro duced the first Mountaineer scores In Winston-Salem yesterday, has been putting up a nifty game since beoni Ing an Ashevilleian. Charles has a lot of good baseball In his make-up and ought to be on the works for quite a spell longer.

Houston Post. - ' II, , T1 Editorially, The Greensboro Record has the following to say: "If our olJ friend, Peter Wagstaff, were living we would take pleasure In reoommenllii him to Prenldent Lyon as an umpire to succeed Mr. Franklin here for the present series of games. Peter, how ever, is dead more'a the piiy. Hut seriously, Mr. Franklin Is wrongly constituted. Of the three umpires In the league, he is perhaps the most competent, but this Is not saying much. Hie chief trouble is that when he errs in one of his decisions and is roasted by the crowd, he proceeds to lay it on right and left; he la revenge ful; he sets mad and makes decisions that he knows are wrong." The scribe on the Charlotte Ob server grows humorous:. "Manager Km.ry wasn't Conns to loee that game so he sent Thrallklll In to save It" Again he pulls this: "Umpire Franklin pursues us. President Lyon thinks he Is a good umpire and we do not hesitate to express the convli-. tion that he is Improving." ; Kdlt.irta'ly, The Oriciiborj Kews rryr "Mr. I.ycrt wants clean sirt; en do the patrons of the tame and it In STATEMENT C entra & Trust Co At the Close of Business June 30th, 1914 Resources Notes and Discounts $382,257.61 Overdrafts None Furniture and Fixtures .. 5,388.55 Cash and Due from Banks 66,862.04 $451,508.20 Liabilities Capital.., ..... ...,,.$ 50,000.00 Surplus and Profits .... .... .. ... 12,858.99 Rediscounts ..........
