C, October 27 While coupling two log cars this morning at Pinetown, the 20-year-old son of Mr, Levin Wallace had his head caught between the project ing ends of logs on the cars, and it was crushed almost flat.

Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average wo raan. Even that greatest of all jew els, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the moixey to purchase them. If a womanjwill risk her health to get a coveteu gem, than let her fortify herself against the insiduous conse quences of coughs, colds and bron chial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain ctre for coughs, colds and all brcn chial troubles. Ton can get this re liable remedy at Goldsboro Drug Co.

Social Pleasure and of 5 reater xool lor t.h State Along Many Lines Miss Gertrude Weil, ot this City, Writes In terestingly ot the Convention. In accordance with the vote passed at the first meeting, in May, of the North Carolina State Federation, of woman's i Clubs, the second meeting was held in Winston October 7-8th. The occosion was a pleasurable and profitable one for all in at tendance. On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Eeynolds entertained the Fed eration and the ladies of Winston-Salem, at her beautful home, where the delegatas had the opportunity of -personally meeting the President Mrs. Lindsay Patterson and other members of the Federation. In the evening a musical re ception was tendered the Fed eration by the Salem Academy, which was a great success, both from a musical and social point of view. The Federation is in debted to this Institution, not only for this most enjoyable en tertainment, but also for the use of its assembly hall for its regular meetings. The first session of the Con ference was held Wednesday morning, October 7th. Profes sor Clewell, Principal of Salem Acadenrv, opened the meeting with an appropriate prayer, in voking blessings and success on the work of the Federation, Af ter a musical selection on the organ and piano, the same gen tleman extended a hearty wel come to the Federation in the name of Salem Academy. It seemed especially fitting, he said, that an organization which means so much for the advance and ennoblement of women should hold its first meeting in halls of our institution til v which was itself a pioneer in emphasizing the great import ance of higher education for women, Mrs. Lindsay Patter son, on behalf of the Winston Salem clubs, then gave a brief, but happily worded addess of welcome to the visiting dele gates. In the absence of the written minutes of the last meeting, a verbal report of that meeting was given by lviiss .foppen heiner, of South Carolina, who had been present on that occa sion and had been instrumental in organizing our Federation. The morning was devoted principally to a number of ad dresses which proved interest ing and instructive. Mrs. M. Of Patterson, of South Carolina, spoke of the South CarolinaFed eration, its first organization and early growth. She recount ed most sympathically their struggles against besetting dif ficulties in their efforts towards firm establishment and recog nition, and in the late official triumph encouraged her sisters of North Carolina in their sim ilar efforts. Miss Poppenheiner, Secretary of the General Feder ation of Woman's Clubs, then read a very able paper on the General Federation. She set forth the relationship of the ii dividual clubs to the State Fed eration, and of the State Fed eration in turn, to the General Federation. She dwelt, also, on the benefits of Federation, and was helpful and encourag ing in her remarks on theNorth Carolina Federation in particu lar. Miss Poppenheiner has been so instrumental in club work, has done so much for our organ ization, that her every word is worthy to be treasured and her advice held precious. After Miss Poppenheiner's ad dress, Mrs. Letitia Walker, of Danville, Va., regent for North Carolina of the Mt. Vernon As sociation, spoke of that organiza tion, which, under the leader ship of Miss Cunningham, of South Carolina, undertook the purchase and and maintaining of the Washington Home at Mt. Vernon. It was inspiring to hear Mrs. Walker, one of the charter members of this fifty-year-old Association, recount the difficult beginnings and finally successful accomplishments of its great undertaking. She al so extended to the North and South Carolina State Federa tions an invitation to attend the semi-centenial celebrations of her association, to be held at Mt. Vernon next Spring. The invitation was repeated the fol lowing day, and a committee was appointed by the President to investigate the possibility of acceptance in a body and the ar rangement of railroad rates. The last address of the morn ing was that of Mrs. Mclver, of Greensboro, on the "Betterment of School Houses in North Caro lina." The subject is one that appeals peculiarly to women for discussion and co-orjerative work, and represents a coursa that can be greatly helped by woman's activity. The morning's programme was varied by musical selections, which relieved somewhat the strenuousness of the intellectual exercises. Mrs. Mclver's talk was fol lowed by the appointment of Committees on Credentials and the Constitution, after which the session closed to be fol- lowed by a car ride fan r OTdl the Federation by the Motor Company of Winston-Salem. Wednesday evening the dele gates and ladies of Winston Salem were delightfully enter tained at the home of Mrs. W. T. Brown. f The Thursday morning ses sion of the Federation opened with a piano recital by one of the Winston ladies, followed by a report of the Committee on Credentials. Mrs. W. R. Hollowell, of Goldsboro, then gave a magnifi cently inspiring talk on the sub ject of "The Departmental Club." She illustrated her gen eral remarks by the work done and planned by the Goldsboro Woman's Club. She brought out the two-fold object in all our work self improvement and the betterment of others; dwelling especially on the Trav elling Library and the work along the line of Village Im provement. What seemed to impress the members most for cibly was the decidedly altruis tic trend of the work and the broad-minded nature of the motives and activities of the Goldsboro Woman's Club. Mrs. Hollowell ended with a strong appeal to the women of North Carolina to broaden their own lives and to give freely of what ever advantages they might en joy to their less fortunate sisters, and so to make the world better for their living. Two-minute reports from the various clubs represented were then called for and answered by j Mrs. Cook, for The Sorosis of Concord; Mrs. Brown, for The Virginia Dare of Concord; Mrs. Bord, for the Study Club of Concord; Mrs. Alderman, for The Student's Club of Hender son, (not yet federated); Mrs. Pittman, for the Tuesday Club of Henderson; Mrs. Parker, for The Round Table of Greensboro; Mrs. Mebane, for The Border Book Club of Spray; Mrs. Coble, for the Alpha Club of Statesville ; Miss Candler, for The Round Dozen of Winston; Miss Candler, ror The Book Glut of Winston; Mrs. Brown, for the Sorosis of Winston; Miss Petty, for The Tuesday Afternoon Club of Greensboro; Miss Gibson, for The M. Book Club of Concord, (not yet federated). The clubs so far federated are, for the most part, small the Goldsboro club being by far the largest -with an average membership of about fifteen. Most of them are so-called book clubs, or literary circles, with informal meetings of a largely social nature. The work of Village Improvement and of Domestic Science seems not to have been touched upon by them. Aside from the attempt at Library extension that some of the clubs are making, the work done and the work planned seems to be with a view wholly to self -improvement and social enjoyment. Whether the con trast is due to the eminently able presentation of the Golds boro club work and ideals, in comparison with the reports from the other clubs, or to the comparative work actually done, the Goldsboro club stands out pre-eminent among her sister clubs in the Federation for high ideals, broad-minded principles, and a wide scope of earnest work. A resolution was read express ing the gratitude and apprecia tion of the federated clubs of the cordial hospitality and the charming entertainment ex tended them by the club women of Winston-Salem, the Salem Academy, and the Motor Com pany of Winston-Salem. The business of the meeting was then the adoption of Con stitution and By-Laws. The Constitution of the South Caro lina State Federation had been temporarily adopted in May, un til we should form one of our own. The same was retained, with the exception of a few changes regarding length of office-holding and the regula tion of membership dues. Copies of the Constitution and By Laws, as adopted, will soon be published, and can then be pro cured by the members. The officers of the Federation, as elected by the representative delegates, are as follows: President Mrs. Lindsay Pat terson, of Winston. 1st Vice-President Mrs. W. R. Hollowell, of Goldsboro. 2nd Vice-President Mrs. T. M. Pittman, of Henderson. Recording Secretary Miss Mary Petty, of Greensboro. Corresponding Secretary Miss Candler, of Winston. Treasurer Mrs. Starbuck, of Winston. The place of the next annual conference of the Federation was not decided upon, but was left to the decision of the Exec utive Committee; nor was the exact time determined. But wherever and whenever it be, it will surely be a success and for the betterment of the State clubs and club women;, for one of the great benefits of this first regular conference is in showing the immense value of co-operation in federation, that efforts in forming a strong body cor porate may be united to give the benefit of one club's success and failures to others, and to gain by the success and failure of others a better knowledge of regulating activities, and so in crease the total amount of work done and promote the better ment of each community and the State. Gertrude Weil, Alternate Delegate. ANOTHER ASSAULT UPON THE SOUTH. At the demand of Northern dairy men the Republicans in. Congress passed the oleomargarine bill, thus striking a blow at cottonseed oil, a Southern product, and putting addi tional money in the pockets of Is orth ern farmers. Mr. Grosvenor and the wool growers now demand the pass age of another bill that shall tax shoddy out of existence, as oleomar garine had been treated by the last session of Congress. Shoddy chiefly consists of cotton, and the clothing worn by the average man in this country is chiefly composed of shod dy. So great is its use in cheapening clothing, it is estimated the shoddy consumed in this country is equiva lent to the fleeces of forty million out of its sixty -three million sheep. Shod dy is mixed with wool when it is ready for use in the production of textile fabrics, thus greatly lessening the cost of clothing, while of course diminishing its value and warmth. The Northern wool growers are thoroughly organized, and they pro pose to boom the product clipped by them from their sheep at the ex pense of the Southern cotton grower. The dairymen hit the Southern cot ton grower first, and now the wool growers propose to grow rich in like manner. How far this fashion is to be car ried by Northern producers no one can say. It certainly is not well to send any Republican to Congress to promote these Northern schemes for plundering Southern farmers. When shoddy is taxed out of existence, as oleomargarine has been, some other material into which cotton goes will be attacked and taxed to death, the Republicans holding that anything is ligitimate which fills Northern pockets and depletes Southern pockets.

Let us glide adown thy stream Gently, as we sometimes glide Through a quiet dream, Humble voyagers are we, Husband, wife, and children three (One is lost, an angel, fled To the azure overhead).

Humble voyagers are we, O'er life's dim, unsounded sea, Seeking only some calm clime, Touch us gently, gently, Time! "He's quite a star as an after-dinner speaker, isn't he?" "Star? He's a regular moon. He becomes brighter the fulier he gets." "Mixem,the chemist.has made his fortune at last," says the friend. "But I thought he couldn't find anysaleatall for his cough mixture," answers the oilier friend. "He couldn't so he labeled it 'Gen uine Maple Syrup' and sold every drop of it the fi:-t cm day we had. Now he is rushed with orders for it." Old Duffer I hs:v ofien thought, George, what a wonderful world this would be if all the things the young man says he is goii.g to do should materialize.

"Your husband i a floor walker in a department store, isn't he?" "Yes." "Then why don't you have him get up and walk the floor with the baby when she cries?" "I can't wake him up.

"Where?" asked the pork packer. "That man coming this way. Shall I introduce you?" "Bet your life. No man I'd like batter to see." "I had no idea you cared so much for his work." "Care for it! Nothing like it; knocks the spots off of everything else in the line." The man of culture presented the Chicagoan. "Proud to meet you. Remington is a great name with me." "Indeed," said Remington. "That's right. My wife will be glad I've run across you. She used to be my stenographer; liked your machine mighty well. I never would use any other, and if you want a recommend from " Mr. Remington turned away. "When the Bostonian recovered, he explained " things. "Artist? Oh, Lord! One of them chromo men.
