OLYMPHIC GAMES.
-American Athletes Confident of
Many Victories Despite Un
fair Decisions of British
Judges.
(Speeial to the Argtjs.)
London, July 20. C. W. Daniels, of
tho American team, won tho second oi
tho 200 Motor somi-final swimming
ovonts of the Olympie games this morn
ing. The American team was Tery hope
ful today, ler all the dispute over the
system of scoring insisted en by the
Britons has ler seme days threatened
to serionsly impair the harmony of the
games, and hold p awarding of the
-trophy.
Commissioner Sullivan said this
morning-, "we have a good chance to
win out in the long run, for in the track
and field contests our men will have a
monopoly and take practically every
thing. We did net come over here to
-shoot bows and arrows, but when it
omes to the runs and jumps our team
will show up at the top, and will over
come the advantage the British athletes
have gained in the kind of contests
with which we are unfamiliar at
home."
Mr. Sullivan admitted that the
strange climate and damp weather
bothered his men, but said they would
all be in prime shape by the time the
track and field events, on which Amer
icans are banking, are reached.

COTTON IN OCTOBER.
While spot cotton sells at 11 cents,
cotton lor October delivery is freely of
fered at 9 1-2 cents. This, too, in New
Orleans, where quotations are not ma
nipulated and regulated by eastern
spinners. The speculative dealer de
liberately says cotton in Oatober will
be worth less than 10 cents.
The truth is, the men who 'deal i
contracts know even less thangthe far
mer does what six critical weeks will
bring lorth. The crop outturn has not
been determined and it will not be in
less than six weeks, and sales for Oc
tober delivery are mere guesses. One
guess is as good as another when
neither has anything to rest upon.
That is exactly the situation in the
cotton market. No one;lknows how
much Mother Earth will give us in the
form of cotton. She may fill the world
with the fleecy product and then again
she may hand us a crop that spells
famine.
The guesses of the cotton gamblers
need not disturb the cotton producer.
The latter deals in spots while the for
mer deals in futures. The farmer who
can bide his time in the marketing of
his crop is the man who will hold the
whip hand, and in tljepong run he is
the man who will rule the market. At
present the boss of the market and the
dictator ot prices is the cotton gambl
er, but he is to be deposed. JHe is mark
ed for a decline and fall-off worse than
Romeever knew. The farmer will com
into his own just as soon as he beeomes
as much the master of his own crop as
the western farmer is of the wheat or
corn or oats that he grows.
SOUTHERN PiNE OUTRANKING WHITE
PINE.
The census bureau presents a pre
liminary report of forest products last
year. The total out exceeded 40,000,-
000,000 feet, as against 37,500,000,000
in 1906. The output of the mills last
year wasfreflerd-making, and It will
perhaps stand a long time as the coun
try's maximum production.
The increase of 1907 was 7.2 per cent,
and this was due to the increased use
of yellow pine. White pine, hemlock,
maple and bass wood were cut in do
creasing quantities last year, while the
production of yellow pine rose to 12,-
8 17,, 790,000 feet, Even production on
the Pacific coast was decreased because
ot higher freight rates.
The lessened demand for yellow plno
this year will keep production below
that ot 1907, and it is not at all certain
that the country's forest output will
ever again be carried to 40,000,000,000
loot. It is better for the country per
haps that its natural lumber wealth
should not bo swept away in such
wholesale cuts. Forest conservation
i6 rising yearly into prominence, and
it mar to some extent lessen produc
tion in the coming years.
The full report of the census bureau
is awaited with interest. It will ne
doubt present State figures that will
enable the careful reader to understand
each State's forest wealth.

The Lakeland (Fla.) News, where
Dr. Bryan, the dentist, resided before
moving to this city, where he now has
a handsome official suite in the new
Odd Fellows' building, pays him the
following graceful an we are sure
merited tribute:
"Dr. N. L. Bryan, who left here a few
weeks ago with the intention of locat
ing at Kinston, N. C, has ohanged his
plans, and has decided to cast his lot in
the thriving towm of Goldsboro, in the
good old North State. Dr. Bryan's
host ot friends in Lakeland hope that
his decision will prove to his benefit,
which no doubt will be the case, as
there are few better towns in the South
than Goldsboro. On the other band,
The News feels that it truthfully can
say that tho people of Goldsboro are to
be congratulated on securing as a cit
izen such a man as Dr. Bryan. Pro
fessionally and as a man he is the peer
of any, and our only regret is that he
and his charming wife decided they
oould better themselves in another loca
tion, which decision was a distinct loss
to Lakeland. Your Lakeland friends
are "looking at you," Doc, and they
know you'll make good wherever you
go."
BEFORE ANI AFTER.
The Republican congress that refus
ed to pass a publicity bill, and the
Chicago convention that refused to de
mand publieity snapped their fingers
t public sentiment, very much as a
Vandorbilt is said to have done SO
year ago, but their assurance and
their disrespect for publio opinion did
not exceed Mr. Taft's and that of his
slushi gatherer, George Rumsey Shel
don. Their declarations that they will
e that tho Now York publiaity law
is- respected proves to have) been a
smart triok for postponing publieity
until after the election, for this is
what tho Now York law calls tor. Tho
voters are calling for a publicity they
can act on. They will not get it from
the Taft party, tor Mr. Taft himself
recently said:
"There is a New York law severing
the collection of campaign funds and
their endorsement, and it is the pur
pose of tho national committee to see
that tho law is rigidly adhered to. All
moneys- collected will bo reported, to
Treasurer Sheldon, and he will comply
with the statue."
Mr; Sheldon, being interviewed at
the same time, made this statement.
"Every dollar received and disburs
ed by tho Republican National Com
mittee during this campaign will be
aoceunted lor to the public. There may
bo an assistant treasurer, vhut there
will be bat one treasury, and that in
New York. No matter where tho
money is collected or where it is spent,
every dollar contributed to tho cam
paign fund will bo reported to me at
New York, and will go on my books-,.
and when the contest is over a state
ment of receipts and disbursements
will be published."
The contributions to the Democratic
fund are to be published before the
election. Those made to the Republi
can fund1 are to be pnblished after the
election. This is what the resort to
the New York law means. It is a po
litical trick that will deceive no one.
Tho Republicans dare not publish a
list of their campaign contributions,
coming as they will from tariff bene
ficiartes: that is to say, they dare not
publish them before election. The cor
rupting influence of big slush funds
is to so on, and the business is to be
kept a close secret until after election.
Tho New York law is a mere excuse for
evading a great public duty. The Dem
ocrats will set an example of straight-
out publicity before election, and the
voters can judge themselves why the
Republicans will not-

A CARD FROM MRS. JOE PERSON.
Charlotte, N. (J., April 23, 1908.
I was in Lumberton, N. C, on Oc
tober gth, 1907. Several of th ladies
had a fcreat deal to tell me in regard
to the wonderful euro of Mrs. E. F.
Kelly's child. They saw her at s
time when she was considered at
death's door, and the doctors had
s,id that amputation of the child's
U g was the only hope of saving the
child's life, that the cure that my
Hemedy had effected of her case was
nothing short of a miracle. I went
to Mrs. Kelly's and saw the mother,,
but the little girl was at school.
Th letter from Mrs. Kelly given
below explains trfe child's condition.
I was in JLumberton again on the
6th. of April, 1908, and again went
to tee Mrs. Kelly. The little gil
was at home and when she was told
who I was, she jumped into my
arms with a delighted cry of wel
come. "I wouldn't take a ttiousand
dollars for seeing you, Mrs. Joe Per
son, for you saved my life." She is
as healthy a specimen of a child aa
can be found in the State and a child
ol winning grace and beauty. She
is not even left with a limp. Mrs.
Kelly told me that the frequent
"operations?' that were made on the
child consisted of splitting the child's
leg to the bone, scraping the bone
and cutting away the diseased flesh.
The scars that were left from these
operations wete fearful; the one on
the outside of her leg entends to the
bone for the length of seven inches,
the one on the inside tor four inches.
'Healthy, natural skin how cover3
the bone and her leg is perfectly well
and her general health perfect. Mrs.
Kelly showed me a drainage tube
which she had. to insert by the doc
tor's direction. every day, passing it
through the decayed bone of her leg.
When . sho would syringe a wash
through either. opening it would pass
through the opposite opening, and
Mrs. t. elly said, the leg was virtual
ly honey -cow Led with t-is decayed
flesh.. It wouldpuy any one scientifi
cally interested in a subject of this
importance to g to Liumberton and
see what my Kemedy has done for.
Mrs. Kelly's little girl. I am,
Very truly,"
MELS. JOE PERSON
Lumberton,.N. C.rOur little daugh- -ter
had a case -of typhi id lever when,
she was three years old. It settled
in her. riht leg,, the leg swelling up
just above her. knee and bursing and,
pieces of bone came out. We bad.
three or four, doctors atttj&d htr, but
they could, do her no good at all..
They said, there would have to be an
operation, and we took her to Dar
lington, S..C..K and had an operation
performed. We waited about four
months and took her to Charleston
Hospital, for another operation. and
kept her there three months. Dr.
Simmons,, the head surgeon there,
said the leg would have to be am
putated,, but I would notconsentto it.
I brought her back to Darlingtoa
ami had another operation performed
there. I waited four or five months
and took her to the Memorial Hospi
tal in Richmond, Va., and had an
operation, performed. She stayed
there one month and five, days and
came back apparently well. In
ehj,ht months alter her return her
leg swelled jand burst again in the
same place. Pieces of bone were
discharged. We called in the doctor
of this place. She had a hemorrhage
form the lungs. The doctor said her
leg would have to come off. I went
I to the drug store, got six bottles ot
Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy and com
menced giving it to her according to
directions. In two weeks' time she
could get out of bed. By the time
she had taken the six bottles the
leg was healded up. Up to this time
she has taken twenty-eight bottles.
Her leg seems perfectly well. She
goes to school every day and has
only a slight limp, Her general
health is better than it has ever been.
She is still taking the Remedy, as
we wish to be sure that all the poison
is eradicated from her sysstem. Be
fore taking your Remedy she was
in bed nearly all the time and could
scarcely walk without the aid ot
crutches. Now she has no need oi
then).
She is now ten years oi age. I
consider your Remedy the finest pre
paration in the world, and the great
est boom to suffering humanity.
