A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
, Popularity.
TJJiere Is a steadily increasing pro
duction of durum wheat In northern
Minnesota and North , Dakota and In
tlte" arid or semiarld sections of other
states.
The big flouring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to the proper
grinding of durum wheat, says an ex
pert. They find the grain too rich In
gluten and too hard for their present
Installment of rollers. The elevator
men don't handle it freely because it
necessitates special bins. But the ex
porters take It eagerly.
Durum is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because Its main use' up to this
time has been for the manufacture of
macaroni The French, however, who
are accounted the best cooks in the
world, have employed It quite exten
sively In breadmaking,1 and it Is as
serted that the bread made from It Is
most nutritious as well as light and
appetizing. There Is no reason why it
should not be.

heard with sincere regret last
Wednesday of the death of former
president. Grover Cleveland. His
condition was doubtless almost
hopeless from the beginning of
his illness, but the public was not
informed of the real situation.
The people of tie South will sin
cerely mourn their former leader
and friend, for Mr, Cleveland was
certainly a friend to this section.
It is true that he was maligned
and slandered by many of those
who should have been his most
enthusiastic friends, but the grand
old man stood firmly for what he
believed to be right and for the
best good of the whole people, and
members of the Democratic party
who joined in the hue and cry
against him, have for the most
jpaxt, seen the error of their way
He is Nominated for 6Diernor on the 61st.
Ballot. A Long and Hard Struggle.
The recent State Convention,
held in Charlotte, will pass into
history as the occasion of one of
the hardest fought political bat
tles in the history of the State.
There were three candidates for
governor, W. W. Kitchen, Locke
Craig and Ashley Home, all good
men and good Democrats. The
friends of each made a great fight
for four days, and then the Home
forces seeing their was no chance
for the nomination of their man,
withdrew his name from the race.
Then, on the 61st ballot, Mr.
Kitchen secured enough votes to
give him the nomination, which
was promptly made unanimous.
After the nomination of Mr.
Kitchen, which took place Satur
day night the convention adjourn
ed until Monday.
The question of the nomination
of delegates to the national con
vention coming up, Senator Over
man was placed in nomination and
was elected in spite of his protests.
Gov. Glenn, Senator Simmons and
Maj. Hale, of Fayetteville were
also 'chosen as delegates. The
alternates are Julius S. Carr, John
Bailey, E. F. Watson and W. L.
Parsons.
J. Bryan Grimes, B, F. Dixon,
J. Y. Joyner, Jas. R. Young and
B. F. L'acy were re-nominated for
the offices they now hold, respect
fully : Secretory of State, Auditor,
Superintendent cf Public Instruc
tion, Insurance Commissioner and
Treasurer.
T. W. Bickett, of Louisburg,
received the nomination for at
torney general, Hayden Clement
withdrawing from the race after
the seventh ballot. The young
man made a vary neat speech in
withdrawing his name and made
a most favorable impression upon
the Convention.
The other offieers nominated
were, for Commissioner of Agri
culture, W. A. Graham ; for Com
missioner of Labor and Printing,
M. L. Shipman; for Corporation
Commissioner, B. F. Aycock.
The administration of Gov.
Glenn was endorsed, simultaneous
primaries recommended, and in

this resDect they rank close to clover
and alfalfa and have the additional ad
vantage of being able to grow on land
where no one would even think of sow
ing alfalfa.
Like the other legumes, they may
need to have the soil inoculated with
bacteria, and this may be done either
by scattering dirt from a good cowpea
field over the patch to be sown or prob
ably by scattering the manure of ani
mals fed on cowpea hay. When inocu
lated they will fix as much nitrogen in
the soil in 60 to 110 days as clover will
In eighteen months.
The nodules on the roots of a cow
pea, the top of which was thirteen
Inches Men and bore ten pods, are
shown in the accompanying picture.
On stronger land the yield of peas was
less per plant and there were fewer
nodules on the roots, owing to the fact
that the richer soil went more to the
develoDment of big vines, some- of
them being four feet long. From this
it is easily seen that the fertilizing
value of the root decreases as the soil
Increases in richness, while the con
trary is true of the fertilizing value of
the top.
The picture shows more plainly than
can be told in words the benefit to be
derived by leaving the cowpea roots in
the ground when the crop is harvested.
In order to prevent as much as possi
ble the waste of nitrogen by evapora
tion and the washing of soil by storms
the field can be seeded to rye immedi
ately after harvest The rye will ab
sorb the fertilizing properties as they
become free and keep them in storage
till spring, when it can be plowed un
der, giving the soil not only the fertil
ity gathered by cowpeas, but also that
gathered by the rye, with the addition
of humus, of which our poorer fields
are greatly in need.
Cowpeas will not grow in a cold soil.
but will lie there and soon rot For
this reason they should not be planted
until two or three weeks after corn
planting time. Stir up a good seed
bed and double the rows with a corn
planter, put in shallow and sow five
to eight quarts per acre. These will
have to be cultivated two or three
times, but you should not plow them
while they are wet either from rain or
dew or the dirt will stick to them and
they will rot If you use the drill, sow
three to five pecks per acre, putting
them about one and one-half inches
deep. They will need no further cult!
vation unless there comes a rain bafor
they get through the ground. In case
of rain harrow lightly to break the
crust or most of them will fail to get
through.

Nature's G reat Blood Tonic
The recent drugf exposures in this Country have proven to all that deadly poisons
and stimulants lurk -in many Patent Medicines. You never know when you might be tak
ing some of that class.
Nature has made ample provision for restoring vigor and vitality to humanity, and
the public, as well as doctors, resort, to Natural Remedies, when all others have failed.
Are you troubled with Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Malaria, Kidney or
Bladder Trouble, Chronic Diarrhoea or Dysentery, and above all, that
dreadful disease Scrofula, which has almost baffled human skill, or Diseases pecu

from impoverished or ruti down conditions
furnishes the svstem what it needs.
The analysis of this Water, shown on the bottle, tells you what Nature thinks
you should tab.e when sicn., and the doctor who reads it will agree.
Do you think the grouping together in this Water of 17 different minerals, which
are recognized by medical writers as most powerful blood tonics, could have been
accidental ? Reason answers, NO 1
An 18-oz bottle of Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated Iron and Alum water contains
all the minerals of 25 gallons of the average natural water Then why buy a barrel
of water when you can get a bottle of minerals at the trivial cost of
one dollar. The dose is a teaspoonful in a glass of your own spring water.
How this Water acts upon the system is not clearly known. It is judged mainly
by its works. It has cured all the diseases numerated above, and many more, evidently
through its action as a powerful BLOOD TONIC.
We have many valuable certificates, which we will be glad to mail, if you are
interested.
