This is a large amount for one day’s picking, but does not equal by far the Edgecombe record of 1, 000 pounds. Ginner’s Report. According to the returns furnished the number of bales of cottop gin ned during September was 2,568,000 against 1,583,000 for same month last year.

The unusual earliness of the cot ton season is reflected in the re cejpts at the cotton yard, 1,279 bale? against 378 for the month last year. The weatbef .was favorable for cot ton picking, but probably not ten per cent beten than the average, If the writer’s reccollection is not at fault, September 1906 was also quite favor able for gathering cotton, and the] same was reflected in the receipts for that month, 922 bales. The October receipts will show the effects of the,protracted storm of that year whe# so much cotton was dam aged in the fiehj. —To quickly check a cold, fang Ista are dispensing everywhere, a [evw Candy Cpld Cure Tablet call ,j prevent4*s.- Preventics are also in® for feverish <*Mren.

There are 12.500 newspapers pub lished in the United States; about 1,000 of them are published daily; 120 are managed, edited and publish ed by negroes. In Asia there are 3; 000 periodical publications, of which the greater part appear in British In dia and Japan; the latter country has only 200 newspapers of which 30 are published in Egypt and the rest apear in the various European colo nies. The World’s Telephones. As accurately as can be estimat ed, the number of telephones in use today is about 9,500,000, a little over 7,000,000 of* which are in the United States, 2,000,000 in Europe and the remainder in all the other parts of the world. Such figures, however can not be taken as absolutely reliable. The rapid strides with which the tel ephone is becoming more and more indispensable to mankind is borne out by the statement that the Bell com panies recorded an average of 18, 624,000 calls a day during 1907, which would be about 75 calls for every mai woman and child in the United' Stat< for the year. Early “Roentgen” Picture. As long as 1795 a Leipzig house published a German novel illustrated by something closely resembling a Roentgen picture. The story tells of the Countess Abillinia, who gave her heart to the Knight Gibello. The Jcnightly lover wras thoughtless enough to kill his lady love’s father; her af fection turned to hatred; she vow ed to kill him. In a dream she saw the man who had fascinated her, and she stood, ready to slay him, when suddenly his form changed, and be fore her stood a grinning skeleton, saying, “I have already been punish ed.” This scene is illustrated in the old book, and the picture is not unlike a Roentgen photograph. When it was published no one probably would have believed that science within a comparatively short time would make it possible to produce this picture, which the author’s im agination invented.—Chicago News.

Layton, of Raleigh, and Geo Gould, of Spencer, were killed by the terrific explosion of the powder house at Spencer Mills, Thursday night, and a score more were injur ed. The whole city was in utter con fusion as the result of the disaster. All of the injured ones were taken to a hospital in Sails'jmy. When fire was discovered in the storage of the powder house, 'the Spencer shop fire department rushes to the scene. C. H. Layton and W. Stafford were holding the fire hose when the explosion occurred. Staf ford was injured internally and Lay ton killed outright. Lawsuit Over 22 Cents. In Judge Eberhard’s curt in Chi cago on Tuesday a jury, two lawyers and half dozen witnesses spent three hours on a case involving the sum of 22 cents. Court adjourned before the charge of the judge was given to the jury. William Hindley went to a de partment store to make a purchase for his wife. The article Vunted was not in stock, but the clerk gave him something “just as good,” for 22 cents with the agreement he says, that it could be returned if not satisfactory. He returned with the goods anft de manded his money, which in his com plaint he says was refused, but that is a disputed point. Before the trial was commenced the manager of the store offered 25 cents in settlement, but Mr. Hindley is a lawyer, and three cents premium is no inducement for him to give up the chances for a bill of costs.—Utica Press. Changes in English. A striking means of measuring th great changes that have from time to time taken place in the English lan guage is to study the Lord’s Prayer, as it has been written in different centuries: 1130—Fader uriieune, haleweide beit thi neune, gumin thi kuneriche, thi wille beoth idon in heune and in erthe. 1300—Fader ure in hevene, hale wyn be thi name, thi kingdom come thi wille be done as in hevene and in erthe. 1370—Oure fadir that art in hevene hallowid be thi name, thi kingdom come, be thi wille done in erthe as in heune. 1524r—Oure father which arte in heven, hallowed by thy name. Let thy kingdom come, thy wyoll be ful filled as well in earth as it is ^ in heven. “Daily bread” appears in three versions severally as “dawe briend,” “days bred,” dayly brede,” and “su perstantial bread.”—Philadelphia Bui letin. * The Political Harlot. It is that the people nave awaken ed to the fact that the allegiance to their rights and interests of the agen cies chosen to make and execute their laws has been made the sub ject of vulgar traffic by men who thus seek to obtain and maintain ad vantage over their fellows. Because whenever a Toga is besmirched, or a stain discovered on ft Judge’s er mine, or a legislative body is seduced into betrayal of its masters—there in variably behind the fallen idols is to gents of Standard Oil. It comes in cohtact with men in public station on ly to tempt them to dishonor. It pen etrates into the citadels of the com mon liberties and into the halls of Justice only to buy men’s souls with filthy lucre. Its emissaries are every where and always on the same fell mischief bent—until now but to con sort with them is the death knell of honest reputation and the grave of worthy ambition. Trader in human in firmities, traitor to civic obligations, cut-worm of men’s consciences, pollu tor of the very fountains of Nation al security, a pimp, and purveyor of political harlotry—that is why the coi tempt and passion qf the iand are concentrated against Dia^aiu uiiauu the head devils who weave the nets of corruption and the under-demons who set them in the paths where the facile or unwary victims walk.

These people of the White World, these children of the snow and ice give themselves little concern regard ing what is going en in worlds be yond their own. The climate in which they live and the limitations of their whole environment make; it impossi ble that there should be much change in their own manner of life, and they do cot care for the changes that soap and water might make in their domes tic life, while the women of the fami ly are not anxious to adopt changes in methods of cooking that might make' some of the dishes they pre pare much cleaner and far less dead ly than they, appear to be. But the best filled larder in the homes of the most affluent of the Eskimos offers but little in the way of varie ty in food, and the question so vex ing to the American housewife “What shall we hav^ for breakfast?’ | or dinner or super, never troubles the Eskimo housewife, since these meals may not vary for mo; ths at a time and are prepared in the primitiv way in which they were prepared by the Eskimos of generations and gen erations ago. The dress of the woman and the men is so much alike that if an Es kimo lady’s husband’s clothes hap pened to be better than her own she might borrow them to wear to some Eskimo society function without ex citing any comment as to her dregs. As in some other lands, the man is regarded as a being vastly superior to the women, and the birth of a girl is never regarded- as a blessing. In deed, it often happens that both the father and mother resort to the un availing folly of tears and lamenta uons wnen it 13 announced that a newcomer is a girl. A boy can be come a great fisherman or a great hunter, while a girl—of what use is she? A mere cumberer of the earth, regardless of the fact that she works as many hours a day as and even more than, a man when she reaches the goal of her ambition and marries. Not to marry is as sad a misfor tune as may befall herv and if Bhp is married and widowed she makes all possible haste in securing a se cond partner —J, L, Harbour in Les lie’s Weekly, Creed for Club Woman. . “I believe in nine-tenths of the club mepibei s doing the work and one tenth ■ doing the criticising instead of the reverse. • “I believe in individual responsibil ity for every interest of the club mutual sympathy and appreciation of results. “I believe that woman shquld have a moral responsibility regarding fi nanc}al matters in the prompt pay ment of dues and pledges, and a com prehension that, as no other phas of life can be carried on without mon ey, neither can the enlarged club life. “I believe in the value of a minute, and that thievery of time on the part of one late member from those in waiting is reprehensible. “I believe, out of consideration for othe'rs in removing the hat in gll public assemblies. “I believe in occupying the peat from the aisle when there -are others to come, and, for the same reason occupying the front seats first. “I believe that no woman should seek or use official position for self aggrandizement, or club affiliation for stepping stones only, but that she should utilize her opportunity jor the altruisms of life. “I bel|eve that the character and good name of each individual mem ber of the club phquld be a§ sacred ly guarded by all other members as are those of the family, and that the use of dishonorable political meth ods in club life for women will be the death knell of a pure woman anly organization. „ “I believe the golden rule fop club women should be: Do right unto others, regardless qf what others do untq you.”—Mfs.

The True Hero. One That Comes in the Georgeous Apparel of Right eousness. (Psalm 6$:—1.) (By Rev. R. W. Alexander.) The prophet sees, In vision, a mighty hero returning borne from the battlefield in apparel that was gloriou to a soldier, having hfs garments soil ed with the dust of battle and be smeared with the blood of the enemy, bearing aloft the trophies of victory. His language is evidently borrowed from the custom of the Orientals in celebrating their victories. As the successful general returned home with his army the people from far and near by hundreds and thousands gath I ered by the wayside to welcome and | congratulate their own soldiers and to ! mock and insult their conquered foe. It was with all the pomp and splen dor possible that the victorious Gen eral was conducted through the streets of his own city, marching in grand procession to the music of na natlonal airs and display of banners. Before thousands of rejoicing spec tators who crowded and thronged the streets to welcome home their brave men was displayed all the trophies of victory; men, women, children and the conquered King himself, following in chainS! It was . from the contem plation of such a scene that the pro phet writes, but so vast and com plete were the victories, so rich and precious the trophies, so mighty and awe inspiring were the captives that in wonder he inquires who this great hero is that has triumphed so gloriou ly over so formidable an enemy. This passage has been variously in terpreted. Some think that the hero here spoken of, is Judas Maccabaeus, because he gained a splendid victory over the Edomites and secured for Israel a temporary peace and rest. But the contest immediately followin sets aside this interpretation, ‘‘I have trodden the wine press alone; and of the people there was none with me/' Now to whomsoever these words may refer, they arc in no sense aplicable to Judas Maccabaeus. Others think that Cyrus is the hero; others again that the language is purely figura tive, But the mighty hero is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ, and the glorious conquests here spoken of are the conquests of the Son of Man. Does it seem a contradiction to speak of Him who was of such in finite tenderness that He would not break the bruised reed and of such boundless compassion that He would not quench the smoking flax, as a mighty Conqueror? Be assured it is nq contradiction, but. before this in vincible Hqro qvqry nation «haU pros trate itself and ascribe all power and glqry and dominion to .this Son of Man. Does the improbability of puch a thing stagger us? Let us consider for a time, the improbability of such a thing: In the first place, He comes of a humble family. The sunlight first falls upon His face as He shares with mule§ and oxen the comforts qf a common barn, He if reared in a despised village, *£au anything goo cqme qut qf ^%zareth?’’ He toils at the bench until after He is thirty years of age, in the sweat of His face eating His daily bread. In the second place He was a Jew. He belonged to a subjugated people. Also His people were a despised and persecuted people. In the third place, He was hated by Hif own people. “He came untq rfis own, and His owq r^c^ved Him not," He yfag not only rejected, but persecuted, being driven from city tq §i|y, lu a word, there was not a heart to love Him, not a hand to help Him, not a voice to encourage Him, but from the highest to th® lowest “He was despised and reject ed.” True, Hq gathered from the common walks of life twelve men as poor and despised as Himself/ but even these “BeUeyed nq,t Him," I One of them prqv^d a ^raftor, another *ifui w. surest vrta.4 agd deepest need, and & darkest t\Qup qf His, life aU forsook Him. Scribes, pharisees and Sadduces vied with each other in helping indig nities upon Him. The Roman soldiers and the contemptible rabble subject ed Him to every species of shame and reproach, spitting in His face, throsp ing over Hia shoulders the worn and faded robe of Herod placing upon -His brow for a crown a wreath of thorns, putting in His hand for a scpptej. a stick and prostrating rh^m^elvea be fore Hift, mycjk an<f taunt with the cr^;—.“.Hail King?"Hail King }” They take Hjm info the inner court yard and striping Him of every garment, scourge with knotty whips His unpro tected person till almost every bone of His body could be counted one by one! Then “as a lamb for the slaugh ter,” they march Him ojoi ty tfie hill of Calvary w^erq H^* hands and Jeet Hf.e |pik^d tq a cross. Suspended thus between heaven ap,d earth, the bleed ing Jegys sinks la the v agonies of death, a pale and lifeless corpse. And, as we stand In full view of the scene, we are wont to ask— Is this the mighty Hero of the prophet’s vis ion ? Is this He who is to ^a^uer the whole world.? Not oni^ was the aparent triumph of the powers of darkness sufficient “to wither the hopes of a few unlet tered men but there were profoundest astonishment and wildest surprise throughout the whole doma^ of bites.

During, the past wteek, the enroll ments of the Tarboro and Macclesfiei schools have increased and now the local institution has 370 students and Maclesfield 52. The Plnetops school opened Thurs day with an enrollment of 30. S. T. Thorne and Miss Kate Moore are the teachers. \ The schools at Speed and Runny mede will probably open Monday, Oct 12th. * ‘ That wondrous sight to see— i The Lord of life expire! And -could these eyes have known a tear, Perhaps, for a time, the wiilings of the damned were hushed, and the very walls of hell tjrembled to the deep hoarse screams of triumph! But, “God’s paths are in the deep. His foo steps in the Eighty waters.” “Christ crucified is to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to every one that believeth He is the wisdom of God and the power of God unto salvation.” “Babylon, the capital of Chaldea, has reached the zenith of her glory. The city is said to have been 15 miles square. It was surrounded by a wall of bitumen 87 feet thick and 350 feet high. It had 100 gates of brass. There was a street corresponding with each gate 15 miles long, and 150 feet wide. It had 676 squares of 2% miles in circumference. In addition to this it had splendid hanging gardens, two magnificent palaces and the renowne temple of Belus. In addition to its im pregnable wall, it was defended by the deep bed of the river Euphrates,” How safe the people who lived in such a city! What if the enemy's tents dotted the country outside, how secure those within the walls. Thus Belshazer reasoned. The banqueting hall is made ready. The princes, the nobles are all assembled. Nothing is heard save the sounds of revelry and the din of maddening mirth..But con trary to all expectations that very night the enemy enters the city and “Belshazzer, the. King of the Chal deans was slain.” And—such is the mystery of Godliness—when Christ the mighty Maker died, when the powers of darkness -.were raising their shouts of triumph, even then— that day on Calvary—the Serpent’s head was crushed, “For so it pleased God that by His death He should de stroy him that had the power of death: that is the devil,” and should ■deliver from their, bondage the count less millions of His redeemed. And as McLaurin beautifully observes: “Though He was crucified in weak ness, yet. with one hand He grasp ed multitudes of poor lost sinners, just ready to plunge into hell; and with the other He grasped a heavenly in heritance, unspeakable joys, and an eternal weight of glory' to give them, and. died with the shout of victory in his mouth.” But not only did he spoil the prin cipalities and powers triumphing over them openly on the cross, He triumph ed over them in His resurrection acpd ascension. In His death the battle was foughj: and the victory won, but in His resurrection and ascension that fact was proclaimed. As. another has expressed it, “if in His death He paid our debt;--if in His blood was quenched the fiery darts of justice, ip His resurrection He was treed from the prison of the graves and declared to have fulfilled everything that was necessary for our salvation.” Heiipe He ii represented as a mighty con queror “leading captivity captive,” dragging, as it were, at His chariot wheels the vanquished powers of dari ness. And in eyqry succeeding age, He has rescued His thousands from the i bondage of ignorance prejudice and sin and will ere long complete His triumphs in gathering out His own from the nations of the earth. ?atan has “risen from his fiery couch, and from the hollow depths 0? heU, has summoned his princess, poiemaies ana warriors to ta&e up tne scattered arms” and go forth to bat tle against the saints. In obedience to his commands, they have scurried forth and charged God’s camp. But this invincible hero has hurled them back into inglorious shame and de feat, achieving victory upon victory, pushing His conquests k*to the re motest parts of t_ho earth, and the time is approaching when His Kingdom shaH girdle the globe. t wish, in closing, .to note the fact that His conquests are conquests of hearts. We open our histories and read of the conquests of Caesar, Na poleon and Garribaldi ap.d we say: mighty conqueror But whencompar They were great men, they were ed with this Conqueror they dwindle. mtc^ insignificance. Why? Because they destroyed Rves and made stoves o£ men, Jeeua comes hot to destroy mon’e Jives but to save them. Caesar and Napoleon made wiv^s and moth ers weep "over loved ones gone,” for many devoted huabgftds and lov ing sons bit the upon the field of battle tha^ these men might # con quer. J'jgpus comes conquering to mak> the weeping Rachels rejoice, for He takes the. burdens from their hearts, and the wail from their lips, putting a song of thanksgiving tjj&aa their tongues: "This my s&t was lost and is found; was <&ad and Is alive.” —Wanted to buy logs in large or small quantities.
