WishinntJn, D.O.September :4. -The management of South ern Railway Company is actively em'ouratfing the "Buy a Bale of Cotton Movement" throughout the South. President Harrison h is bought a bale in each cotton pr.M'ufing state traversed by the Southern Railway lines and has ad Iressed the following letter to the principal officers of Southern Railway and allied lines, sugges ting that they join the movement: 1 commend to your personal i (Fr. side ration the Buy a Bale of cvtiOn Movement now active throughout the South. While this is a movement of sentiment, ic is wholesome sentiment as ex i e-sing a determination of the s iLthern people to help them selves in a time of emergency rather than depend on he'p from o itside or from the government, Federal or State. If this move ment results in marketing 500,- 0 to bales at 10 cents a pound, as believed to be possible. i t will n ive a profound effect encoura ging the small farmers and those who uive them credit to hold for a stable price. "Ail of us derive our livihood rand that of our families in some r.aeasure from cotton, and so, :v.art from from any interest of Uhe Company everyone of us has personal interest the cotton "I .have myself bought a halo of coUon in each cotton producing state If you feel that vou can afford it, 1 re .r.ommt nJ that you buy at least one bale for personal account and induce as many as possible .of your friends so do likewise. It .will he a safe investment of the mruiy and a patriotic act in a vital emergency." Shaking of the cotton situa tion todayj President Harrison said: "There are, in. my opinion, good reasons for believing that the oirket for cotton will improve. . Wrjle there has been a temporary ;letlifcup in manufacturing, I 1 think tuat so far as affected mills in the United States and Eng land and possible those of FraLce .itfaj been due. in large measure. the disturbed financial situa tion and to eoae extent to the difficulty in getting dye stuffs. I am encouraged to believe that, as soon as the financial difficul ties have been straightened out, there will be an increased de mand not only from the mills in United States, but. also, from those in all parts of Europe i i which the war has not shut iess to the sea. Already there ;arfe reports of increasing ship me&te of cotton both to Erjgland rand to the Continent and it should fee borne in mind that the Mar itself will give rise to an in traced demand for certain lines of cation goods.

As important as the taxation amendment is, it is not one whit more important than the mend Mi nt designed to eliminate pri vate and purely local legisla tion. If this amendment is adop t-d the counties and cities may do for themselves what the en tire legislature has been forced io do at great time and expense in the yast. There has been no ieason advanced for defeating anv of the amendments, and the people of North Carolina ought to endorse them at the polls in November. The amendments are not loaded. Salisbury Post. They Make You Feel Good The pleasant purgative effect pro duced by Chamberlain's Tablets and h' realty rendition of body and mind Attorney General Pleased With Trip Raleigh, Sept. 23. Attorney General T, W. Bickett, just back from Washington where he went with the delegation from the re cent State Farmers' Union Con vention here to see what could be done in-the North Carolina cotton growers, says he believes that much benefit will come of the efforts that have been put forth at the Washington con ferences and that the situation will be worked out to the salva tion of the farmers yet- Mr- Bickett wishes to con gratulate the North Carolina farmers on the splendid manner in which they have deported themselves throughout this try ing period and persistently 'sat steadily on the boat" without losing their heads at any point as the market conditions have developed. He says they have demonstrated the fact that they are of one mind for the holding of their cotton and for market ing it gradually as the conditions and the prices justify, He says he is satisfied that cotton right now is at least two cents a pound higher on the open market today than it would have been had not the farmers co-operated and demonstrated the fact that they cannot be stampeded into a break for sales that would glut the market. Mr, Bickett says that the promise or secretary oi tne Treasury McAdoo that the Fed eral Reserve banking system will be in operation by October 15 will tend to greatly relieve the situation as to finances to take care of the crop and ad vance money on warehouse cer tificates that will protect the ma chinery for holding the so-called distress" cotton, WHEN OUT OF Sl'RTS START YOUR LIVER WORKING No Matter What Aids You, Dod sons. Liver Toneijf Usaally a Big Help insetting : Well. Avoid Calo mel. Nine times out of ten, when you are ill or out of sorts, your liver is out of order and get ting it m order again will make you feel better. When your liver is sluggish and torpid and you are constipated and bil- lious. it is impossible to feel well, There is a time when a a great number of people took calomel when so troubled. But this is not true today. It has become widely known that calomel often bas bad after effects and is even dancerous to mano. The use of Dodson s Liver Tone instead of. calomel has spread wonderfully because it has proved so benefi cial in so many households. Clarence Clapp and Freze Drug Co. recommend and guar antee Dodson's Liver Tonic in stead of colomel and guarantee to refund purchase price (oOc.) to you instantly without ques tion if you are not perfectly pleased with the way in which it relieves you from constipation sick headache, billiousness, etc. It "livens the liver" and is a pleasant-tastiDg, vegetable liquid easy lo take and causes no pain or gripe, no bad results, no change from your regular duties and habits. To test Dodson's Liver Tone is a sensible matter because you get ycr money back if you are not satisfied. The Handbook, War in the East! Peace in the West! Thank God for Wilson!

If he cotton situation. fact is coming into appreciation J Dad not been wise and level- "This is the first year in my i that it is the cheapest of edible headed we would have been in recollection that September 23 had come with no cotton offering on Queen Street." Mr. Rouse says. "In 1898,(the second year of the McKinley administration) cotton sold at as low at 4.85 and people brought it to market. Some years afterward it sold for around 5 cents, and still came to market. But now, although good cotton would probably bring in excess of 8 cents on the Kinston market, there is none offered for sale. "I interpret this to mean that the producers of cotton realize its value, and that the sentiment has. taken hold of the entire cotton producing community to demand for their cotton some thing near its value. The diffi culty heretofore bas been the failure of concerted, well directed and united effort among the cotton farmers to demand for their produce its value. "If peace shall come soon.then most assuredly the price of cot ton and other products would materially advance, but if peace shall be delayed, nevertheless, judgment and prudence on the part the producers of cotton wil! maintain a fair price. It would not seem the part of prudence, as I view it, for our farmers to hold all their cotton at a fixed price, and I think that in order to relieve our individual-requir-ments and to prevent the wheels of business from being stopped that it might be the part of wis dom to from time to time, make sales of a small percentage of the crop."

He concentrated character- The Wall Street Journal has found evidence that shippers of pro ducts largely used in supplying the commissariat department of armies are buying cotton seed oil for the purpose of shipping it to Europe- With these ship, ments, it is stated, the manu facturers have nothing to do. One steamship carried 1,000 bar rels while smaller consignments have gone by other ships to France, The futher fact that considerable supplies are being shipped to the Scandvinavian countries suggests that at least a portion of that product is find ing its way into Germanj; and Great Britain is taking substan tial amounts, probably for use in the preparation of concen trated foods which are especial ly convenient in providing for the maintenance of a large army in the field. South America has always been a heavy user of cot ton seed oil; and trade with that section of the world will not be permanently impeded. It would seem that here is at least one in dustry that is not going to be hurt by the war: The Revised Slogan.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Champerlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases.

The Democratic party natural ly expected the President to make political speeches during the coming campaign, as has been the custom of former Presi dents, President Wilson, while a Democrat, says that America is greater than any party and he issued a statement in which he sayg that he will not enter the campaign. On account of the European war he will stay on the job in Washineton and take care of the interests of A"ieri2a. He is a great and wise Christian President, and is not only look ing after the best interests of the nation, but is looking out for the best interests of the average man. Every man should be profound ly thankful that we have such a patriotic and peace-loving citizen as Woodrow Wilson in this crisis of the world.

As civilization drives out ignorance su perstition also takes its departure, so that the degree of civilzation possessed by any peoble may be readily meaured by the number and character of its Buperititions. Ethnologists who have studied savage tribes tells us that the greatest barrier to civilizatitn is superstition, which in many instances so firmly binds the minds of the natives, that they are actu ally afraid to think for themselves. Science, the handmaid of ciyilation. is rapidly separating the false from the true and is giving the world facts in place of superstdtious fancies. Even in such every-day matters of life as food, drink, clothing etc., false notions and hear-say reports are giving away to scientific fact. Thus the laboratory of the scientist has now demonstrated the fact that the caffeine contained in suh beverages as coffc;, tea and Coca-Cola is not only not injurious to health but is positively helpful in that it diminishes the wear and tear of the nature of a lubricant, as it were. Such unpleasant effects we were formerly attributed to caffe ine are now known to b- the result of improper methods in the preparation of the beverages and are traced to the door of caff eol and tannic acid in the case of coffee and to tannic acid in the case of tea. These substances, when taken in excessive quantities, give rise to discomfort Lut do no positive injury. Since Coca-Cola contains only caffeine with sugar and flavoring extracts these scientific proofs substantiate the often repeated claim of the manufacturer that Coco-Cola possesses all the ad vantages of tea and coffee with none of their disad vantages.
