Oce of the Most Interesting Re publi JUST SUPPOSE. A TIMELY AND FORCEFUL LETTER FROM MR. FINLEY ON THE SOUTH AND ITS PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES. Editor Argxts: It lias occurred to ma that it may not be improper far me to address you and other representative editor in the Southern States-an a subject whieh I believe to be -ri -great importance to the future prosperity of our section. My duties nrequire me t keep in touch, as aearlyas possible, with bas Ineas conditions throughout the oeun try, and especially in the South. Since the begianing f the business depres sion iroa which the country is new re covering I 'have been greatly im pressed wifthvidence which has come to me that, while business all or the United States has been mlavorably. affected, the - effects ol the depression have foeentfelt most severely, as a gen eral rale, in those communities the energies ot-which are devoted princi pally to the production of a single commodity, er of a few commodities, and that 'business has been relatively less affected in those jomm-Knities in which production is. more diversified. I have been impressed especially with the fact that the businese depression has been relatively lets severe in those Southern localities in which attention has been-given to the growing of fruits and vegetables. There has been a steady market lor these products, and, although prices " have not in some in tances been as high as in other sea sons., I believe they have generally yielded. profits to the growers. The'press of the South. ;kas already accomplished much by advocating diversfication of agricultnre and man nfaeturing, and, looking back over the past 25 years, we can realize that much has been accomplished in this direc tion. 1 believe, however, that the time is especially opportune fer continuing ur efforts in this , direction and for urging that each Southern community hall make the most of tfe oppertuni: ties which a revival of feusinee -will open up to it. Nature has favored the South with practically inexhaustible -resources of great variety, and the industrious and resourceful Southern people .have shown their ability to take up and car ry to success new lines of industry. I believ-e, therefore, that yau will agree with me as to the desirability -erf en couraging greater diversifications? in dustry in the direction of utilizing to the fullest extent the natural resources of eur section. Without attempting to enumerate the lines in which progress in this .di rection is gjossible, I would, suggest that, in many localities, agricultural prosperity might be advanced by further diversification of farming, especially in the direction of producing the fruits and vegetables best suited tor each locality; that live stock and dairying might profitably receive more attention in some localities, and that, in connection with a larger production of fruits and vegetables, there are many localities in which canning and pre serving industries might profitably be carried on more extensively than at present. Industrially, I believe it should be the aim of the South to add to the profits et manufacturing, by convert ing Southern raw materials,. as far as possible, into articles ready for use. As indicating what may be done along this line, I may refer to the cotton tex tile industry. Although tbe SoxUh has A substantial monopoly in the produc tion of the most widely used textile fibre in the world, some of us are old enough to remember when it was be lieved in many quarters that cotton manufacturing on a large scale could not be established successfully in the South. The Southern people first de monstrated their ability to make the coarser grades of cotton fabrics, and they are now demonstrating their abil ity to make the finer grades as well and to bleach and finish the products of theirmills. I think we may look for ward with confidence to the further de velopment of this great industry and of industries depending upon it, such 'as the manufacture of cotton goods Into articles opclothing ready for wear. I might enumerate a long list of op pert unities for the furtfrer devtiiepment of manufacturing. It would include the cenversion, on a larger scale, of Southern-made leather intofcoots and shoes, harness and belling, in Southern factQTies, and the cenversion of the proCuets f Seathern lorest and mines into a long list of Articles ready for use. I have said enough.fciiOwever, to suggest to you 'the pole! I wish to make, whiela is, that I believe that all f us who fcave tie prosperity of the fllouth at bart "should do all in our power to e&courage the diversification cf Southern industry and the conver sion in Southern factories of Southern products into articles ready for use rath er than theirshipment to ether sections in the form of raw materials or of partly manufactured commodities, I need not assure you of my great in terest in -every movement for the ad vancement ef a Southern community, and yoc know that this company, through its land and industrial de partment, stands ready at all times to co-operate iha every proper way with individuals and communities along its lines for the establishment of new in dustries., ths piomfc-iion of such immi gration as may ;be desired by ach oommusntfy., and the general advance ment oit Southern prosperity.

Norfolk & Seuihern and Snow Sill Ballrtads Sutler. I . (Special to the Argus.) Kinston, July 31 The rain that has fallen in torrents for 48 hours has caus ed washouts, one on Norfolk and Southern and several on the Kinston and Snow" Hill railroads. No trains are running this afternoon. ican Gampains that Kan sas Has Known in Many Years is Practically Ended. Special to the Argtjs. Topeka, JKly 31. One of tfe most interesting Republicans campaigns that Kansas lias known in m&any years is practically ended, and from end te end the State is waiting wddh the keen est interest the results of the general primary 'next ruesaay, -in its out come is involved the governorship and the question of who sfcaiii be the Re publican Senator in tbe United States Congress from this -State to succeed Chester 'I. Long. Tfeecje is also involv d .the nomination ff candidates for minor-State offices, 'tor electors, for Congress, for legislative, county and township places. Senator Long is opposed in his con test for re-election by 'Joseph L. Bris- tow, who was f orna-erly Fourth Assist ant Postmaster-General. For a num ber ef weeks the rival aspirants have been engaged in "a lively campaign ;that"has carried tfcem to every nook and corner of the State. The man agers of the Long campaign appear te feel every confidence in the result Nevertheless they have taken no change of becoming vietfcms of over-confidence and- they are keeping up the fight with ocabated vigor to the very end. Tbe Lensr forces have had the benefit of a splendid . political organization that extends it ramifications through -every county fcSKansas. They expect te-win out by a good sate majority that will leaven-o doubt as to the re sult. The Brietow forces, on the other hand, are likewise claiming the vic tory, though tfeeir claims are not so ex tensive as the Long claims. .Bristow has made a good fight for the toga and Ms friends expect him to shew up well in the primary, even though he may not win out. His at tacks en Senator Long undoubtedly have given ths t statesman some anx ious moments. President Roosevelt is exceedingly popular with the Repub licans of Kansas and Mr. Bristow has made one of hi strongest points against his opponent &y ehargiug the iStsna.tor with insincerity in his support of the President and his policies. Suppose a player never made an error, day by day, Suppose the outfielder never let a fly ball get away. Suppose you knew each time a fiy ball was hit into the air That it would never reach the ground! with some one waiting there Suppose there were no fumbles, and you knew there wouldn't be; And every time a ball was hit no wild throws yon would see , Do you really think you'd like it? Well, you wouldn't, we know, And yet you howl like thunder when it doesn't happen so. Suppose you knew a pitcher whe never allowed a hit, Suppose he struck out every man and made the batter qu.it. Suppose he never gave a pass, but shet them over straight, And yon were certain every ball would sail across the plate, Suppose you knew that one and all were masters of control, And that never in the battle would they get into a hole, Would you iltee .it? Not exactly, if I know what I'm about, And yet you raise a racket if they're wild and. set knocked out. Suppose wi-tii men on bases you were always certain that The batter would hit safely every time he came to bat; There wasn't any sort ef chance for him to fail' to bring That runner homeward with a hit re sulting 'from his swing. Suppose you knew there was no chanre beyond the slightest doubt For him to hit an easy foul or other wise .go out, How inaay people do you think would turn -out every day? And yet you throw a double fit unless it is this way. Knockers can't play ball ; t - . and have only one desire, To .knock, to;knock, to knock, the poor Umpire. Cfitton lepsrt.

Thomas Hisgen, of Massachu setts., was aominated for President on the 3rd ballot.and John Temple Graves was nominated lor Vice-President on the tfixst ballot. Hisgen's opponents were M. W. Howard, of Alabama, John Temple Graves, of Georgia. W. R. Hearst, though not a s candidate, received a complimentary vote of half a hun dred. An Attempt to place William J. Bryan in nomination for President precipitated almost a state of riot and it was with difflenlty that delegate J. I. Shepard, of Kansas, who named the Nebraskan for President was saved from vielenee at th hands of angered delegates. The national oemmittee selected William Eandolph Hearst as chairman to handle the campaign between now and November. C. N. Walsh, of Iowa, is secretary, and C. S. F. Neal, ot In diana, and M. W.

Washington, July 29. At a confer ence which has been in progress lor the past two days between President Finley, executive officers the Southern Railway Company and affiliated com panies, and officers ot the traffic and operating departments of the Southern Railway system, and which concluded today, general conditions in business in the South and prospects lor the fu ture weare thoroughly discussed. It was the consensus of opinion that there is a trend in the direction ot im proveanent of business throughout ttie Southern States. The agricultural outlook is encouraging. Southern fruit and vegetable crops have genera) ly been good and have found a ready market at prices, which although in seme cases below those of former years have been profitable. The present con dition of the cotton crop and the grain crops of the South is good. II there is no deterioration in cotton between now and the close of the season the yield will be large. As a result of sen eral prosperity among the farming communities, retail business in most Southern towns has kept fairly well. Merchants have been buying conser vatively, however, and the efifeet has been a curtailment of wholesale busi ness, and depression in some lines ol manufacturing. Stocks of goods of all kinds in the hand, of dealers have been reduced, and with the good agricultur al outlook, there is reason to expect a gradual improvement in all lines of business. Is Pc-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Pe- rcna be submitted to any medical ex pert, o f whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THESE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT EVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingred ient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase o f catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COM BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowl edge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least,brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hart man, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied di rectly to the people, and no more be, charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so uni versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, . showing that Peruna invites the full infection of the critics. . BABY HAD ITCHING HUMOR Wbich Broke Out in Different Places Nothing Would Help Him Mother Almost in Despair Skin Quickly Healed Without a Scar and Trouble Has Never Returned SINCE USING CUTICURA -M0THER GIVES IT PRAISE ." Several months ago, my little boy, now two and a half years old, began to Drean. out witn Itching sores. I began to doc tor him, and as Boon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. One even ing I read a tes timonial from a lady who had cured her little boy with Cuticura. I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores com menced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuti cura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and they are surely great. I shall always have them in the house,, handy, and shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. I cannot give them too much praise.
