Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
'that; . ;'-?:
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says: .
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON:
"Thomasville, N. C, Feb. 22, 1910."

fARSOfJS DRUG COP'fJY,
Grand Jary Stops Work on th Case Un
til Next WeekA. Deeper Inquiry la
Planned.
New York, April 21. The sudden
adjournment .today of the Federal in
quiry into the alleged cotton pool be
fore the special grand jury sent a
thrill of hope in certain quarters 0f
the financial district that perhaps the
government had decided to call off the
investigation.'
Clark McKercher, Assistant Attor
ney General, soon dispelled that hope
by later announcing that other wit
nesses were to be called at further
grand jury sessions. Plans for a deep
er probing of the alleged cotton pools
will, it is said, be laid in the next few
days days at Washington.
James Patten of Chicago this after
nocn declared with emphasis that he
was not in "this game to squeeze
anyone," and . further that there
would be no corner in cotton. Said
he:
patten's positiox.
"I have bought cotton on the theo
ry of supply and demand. I believe
that the mills here and in Europe
will close down in August and. Sep
tember because they will have no cot
ton to-work with. They will then
cry, 'give us cotton, we must have
it.' Now there it is in a nutshell.
If I am wrong, why show me
where. I am long on cotton on this
theory.
"I became long on the product be
fore I ever saw these New York cot
ton men, or had any dealings with
them. Iam in my present position
through legitimate speculative enter
prise. If the government steps in
and stops speculation, why than I
shall 3top, but it will be an evil day
if such a step i9 ever taken.
"There has been a great deal print
ed to the effect that Frank Hayne,
W. P. Brown, F. Scales and myself
are engaged in a conspiracy to corner
the May crop of cotton. No more ri
diculous statement was ever made.
"It wiil be a financial impossibility
for the four of U3 combined to corner
May cotton. Why there are 2,000,000
bales of May cotton in sight. At $75
a Dale it wouia require sidu.uuu.uuu
to maintain a corner. It is a matter
of history that no man has ever suc
ceeded in cornering a cotton crop."
GRAND JURY STOPS.
The grand jury which has been in
vestigating the bull cotton pool stopp
ed work on the case until next week,
after, it is said, it had secured posses
sion of a document having an impor
tant bearing on the case. Whether
the government investigators had un
earthed a copy of the alleged pooling
agreement could not be definitely
learned. It is on the contention that
such an agreement was made that the
government bases its case.
Six witnesses were examined to
day, which, with the list who testi
fied on Tuesday, complete the num
ber subpoenaed, with the exception
of two who are out of town and
two who are excused from testi-fying.
Several other witnesses have been
subpoenaed however and will be re
called (before the grand jury next
week when the investigation is resumed.

Southern hotel a gentleman represent
ing himself us a buyer for a large
German cotton mill, stated that his
company would not buy cotton at
present prices, but preferred to shut
down awaiting the coming of the
next crop. He added that his com
pany haft-already purchased its next
year's supply of cotton on the basis
ot 12 cents a pound, and that a large
part of next year's had already been
sold at that figure. lie, of course,
meant that his company and others
had bought from speculators contracts
for cotton to be delivered out of the new
crop not yet planted, except in part,
a year's supply at 12cents a pound.
If those who have sold these con
tracts can break the market below
12 cents they will make a profit; if
cotton continues above 12 cents, the
seller of these contracts will either
have to repudiate them or to stand
heavy losses.
Bearing on this point Mr. Fuller E.
Calloway, president of several cotton
mills that have cotton bought on the
New York Exchange at lower price
than it can be bought South, said
"We intend to take up this
cotton this summer. It occurs to me
that undoubtedly Attorney General
Wickersham was unwittingly Inspir
ed by bears who have sold what they
do not own, depressing the cotton
market at the expense of farmers and
demoralizing the market for cotton
goods. The bear3 hope by this at
tack to scare the mills out of this le
gitimate trade and to further demor
alize the cotton and cotton-goods mar
ket. In my opinion, this attack will
prove a boomerang for the bears ana
betrays the predicament they are in
through having told something they
did not own. This investigation
questions the right of mills to buy
contracts on the New York Cotton
Exchange with the expectation of re
viving the cotton, therby denying its
reason for existence."
In this connection the New York
Journal of Commerce ot April 20
states the case very clearly as fallows:
"Now, so far as the discussion over
the prevalent high prices concerns cot
ton, there i3 no uncertainty about
their cause. The demand for that
very useful commodity had become
adjusted to a supply that included
13,000,000 bales or more from the
American crop, and in that adjust
ment the price was 9 to 10 cents a
pound. The crop of 1909-10 proved
to be about 3,000,000 bales short of
that of the previous year, but there
was no corresponding shrinkage in
the demand. There were no less cot
ton mills and machinery in Lancas-
shire, on the Continent of Europe, in
New England or in our Southern
States than before. In fact, there had
a continued increase in these under
the stimules of abundant material
and a moderate price. Now were
there fewerconsumers of cotton goods
or a lessoned demand for them, and
only the pressure of scarcity and in
creased cost was likely to reduce the
demand. What was to be expected
under such circumstances? The com
petion for buying cotton while it was
to be had necessarily put up the price,
and as the crop year advanced into
1910, with the supply lessening all
the time, there . was no recourse for
mills except to begin reducing their
output. More cotton could not be
made until a new crop was made, the
supply could not last at the normal
rate of consumption iu other years,
and there mu3t be curtailmeat, and
even then the price would keep up
under the pressure of buying compe-
tion for the mills. Furthermore, the
nrice for finished Broods would not
keep pace and consumers could not
buy on the customary scale any more
thn manufacturers could keep up
their ordinary output.
"The situation in The cotton mar
ket is the result of inevitable condi
tions. Traders have had to make
their calculations accordingly, and
lone-aiehted speculators have taken
advantage of the situation. Those
against whom this movement is made
bought last fall for delivery in March,
and they say that they received and
paid for thousands ot bales.Tb.ey have
bought lor May and July delivery,
and avow the intention of receiving
and delivering according to their con
tracts, and no intention or corner
ing the market or monopolizing the
supply. The Government can bard.
ly prove an intention which they dis
avow, and unless it can prove actua
monopoly or attempt at monopoly in
what has already been done, it is
hard to see how it can make out
a case. It may disturb the market
and derange calculations; it may at
ford some relief to those who have
I imprudently sold short and can only
deliver at a loss; in other words, it
: may be a factor in the speculation
but that it can accomplish any bene
fit to the spinners or to the consuming

promotion of public morality. (This

In view.) Hence, when prominent

against social morality; and of the

Indnfinite iDjury done to public mor
als is still worse. The crimes of the

ever, isolated acts, beiaom ao iney

that they commonly beget a brood of

endless chain. A Boccaccio in By re
pent of his Decameron, but he can
not recall it, or undo its effects.
Those who are beyond the pale of
example, or strong enough to resist
Its influence, are the rare exceptions
rather than the rule. Where high
moral standards are the vogue in
public life, they are bound to inspire
a regard for upright dealing in the
rank and file of the people. On the
contrary, where flagrant official bri
bery, graft, duplicity, vote-buying
and vote-selling, partiality in the ad
ministration of justice, etc., are the
order of the day, they are bouud to
react on the masses. First or inter
mittent glimpses of vice are apt to
repel, but oft-repeated, face-to-face
views of it gradually familiarize us
with it and thke away its sting and
loathsomeness, They create an im
moral atmosphere which we are
forced to breathe, and only the
strongest or morally soundest can
successfully resist its disease-bearing
germs. When the governors are
given over, body and soul, to im
moral practices, It is difficult to see
the ways and means of stemming the
tide of corruption among the govern
ed. ."If the blind lead the blind, will
not both fall into the ditch?"
And what we say of public men
holds equally true of all who have
the directions ot others, whether in
church or state, in the scnoolroom or
the family circle. It is of little uae
to insist on the teachings of the moral
law. if we fail to practice wbat we
preach. The object lesson of exam
ple is far more effective that the most
learned disquisition on morality.
The men and women who live up to
their convictions by practicing what
they profess have done more for mor
ality and the social uplift than all the
wise, philosophic discourses of an
Epictetus or a Marcus Aurelius.
They are practical instances of the
working of the moral law, living em
bodiments of showing in the concrete
its principles, the possibility of
regulating conduct in accordance with
its dictates. One man of the type of
New York's Governor is worth mere

enough in its way. True, the prin

for the most part, they are end ever

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due, at
least indirectly, to unchecked dyspep
sia, especially when the victim was
predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable stom
ach being unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the (required
nourishment, and the victim becomes
thin, weak and haggard. As a result
the body becomes a fertile field in
which the germs of disease may lodge
and flourish.
Thorefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
is guilty of contributing toward the
development of one of the most in
sidious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
