Two years airo when 13,565,000 bales were given as the total crop. The government estimate of tbe 1906 crop was 12,546.000 showing an under-esti mation in actual production of about 750, 000 bales. The effect of the report on, the market this after noon was hardly noticeable. There was a tendency toward an advance, but the influence was immaterial. The exceedingly large produc tion was generally unexpected, especially by the great body of farmers who thought themselves acquainted with the damages sustained during the maturity of the crop by frost and rains, There were likewise but few cot ton brokers in this city who were looking for such figures. The majority abomt 12,000,000, the general estimate ranging from 12,000,000 to 13,000,000 bales, Those holding that the last figure would come anywhere near the actual crop were count ed uncompromising bears.

Elizabeth City, March 20, The case of States vs. Joshua Har rison, charged with kidnapping Senator Beasley's son is now in the hands of the jury. Solictor Hallet S. Ward made the closing speech and concluding his argu ment at 11:30 this morning, when Jude W. H. Allen began at once to charge the jury and closed at 12:30. His concluding remarks were: ' Gentlemen of the jury; If the State has con-,' vinced you beyond a reasonable! doubt that the defendant kidnap ed this child, you should return a verdict of guilty, if not you should acquit him. Retire and consider the case.' ' STORY Or THE CRIME. It will be remembered that Kenneth Basley, 9-year-old son of State Senator S. M, Beasley, mysteriously disappeared during recess at the afternoon session of school he was attending near his home at Poplar Branch, Currituck county, this state, Monday. March 13, 1905. The woods and swamps were thoroughly searched by hun dreds of people, in a systematic manner being divided intofcom panies with captains of each party. The search continued fur two weeks or more and, as is well known, no trace of the lost child was found. Mrs, Beasley, mother of the lost child, was prostrated with grief and has been in a critical state of health ever since, HARRISON SUSPECTED, Suspicion was at once centered on Joshua Harrison. He was seen in a buggy that same after noon traveling rapidly witn . a chiid covered up with blankets which was recognized by voice. The mule and buggy were also recognized as Harrison's. The child was crying and Harrison was talking to him in a smooth ing manner. Harrison was seen in Norfolk, at 2 o'clock, the Tues day morning following the Mon day the boy disappeard. He has a very bad reputation in Curri tuck county.- He has been tried for murder twice. He requested that the trial be removed to Pasquotank county. The case began od Thursday, March 14tb, and was concluded this evening. The defenant was represented by E. F. Aydlette, of Elizabeth City, Ex-Governors T, J. Jarvis and Chas, B. Aycock. and Hon, I. M. Meeains, while the State was represented by Solicitor Hallet S. Ward, J. Heyward Sawyer. W. D. Pruden, and W. L. Cahoon. The large court room has been overcrowded at every session. At 10 o'clock tonight the jury rendered a verdict of "guilt.'" The winds of March have no terror to the user of DeWitts Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve. It quickly heals chapped and cracked Bkin.

Because Vinol is a real Cod Liver Preparation and does not contain a single disagreeable or harmful ingredient and is not a secret formula.

That's Why Vinol is altogether different and better than any other remedy for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and all Throat, Lung and Wasting Diseases. That's Why Vinol Restores Health and Strength to Delicate Children, Feeble Old People, Weak and Sickly Persons, Nursing Mothers, and Convalescents. A Ripe Old Age.

For somo years Senator Till man has been putting in all of his spare time and some of the time for which he is paid to re-; present South Carolina in the! Senate on tbe lecture platform, lecturing under the auspices of lyceum bureaus. A dispatch from Washington to the Balti more Sun says that the Senator has engrgements to lecture every week day except three from j March 4 to November 30. For these lecture he is paid $200 each arid his earning for the period named will aggregate 43,000. We don't blame Mr, TUJman for taking the money, but as his lectures consist of his "views oh the race question, it is amazing that so n.any people can be found who are willing to pay money to hear Senator Tillman talk about the negro. He is an extremist and holds extreme views on this, as on most other question views which according to our thinking are neither edifying nor entertaining. Found At Last. J.

The laziest person on earth is belieyed to be a man named Thompson, who lives with his mother at Clare, Lursran, in Ire land. He went to bed in 1877, whun he was a boy of 11. He was waited on by his mother and he wonld probably haye remained in bed for the rest of his life had she not become ill two weeks ago and been taken to the hospital leaving him alone. He was com pelled to get up, and the work of squeezing him into the suit which he discarded twenty-nine years ago took three men a whole evening. Thompson told them he was too tired to walk, and an ambulance had to be summoned to carry him to the workhouse. There he reposed until his moth er was well again. But the officials made him walk home. When Mrs. Thompson applied for relief to the poor officer an inquiry showed that several medical men had tried to stimu late Thompson out of his chronic lethargy. Irritating plasters were applied, but they were powerless to stir kirn. Electric currents left him unruffled, and finally he was left by the doctors to injoy the serene calm they were unable to disturb Thomp son is in bed again, and his suit of clothes has again been put away.
