S3E BCZEHL& CUE 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." We sell Hobson's Eczema Ointment under an absolute guarantee.

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. JOHN T BENNETT ATTORNEY"-AT-LAW.

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 FORCE OF EXAMPLE.

If it be Illegal for the cotton far mers of the South to struggle to se cure a fair profit oh cotton, is it legal or worthy of commendation for men to unite for the express purpose of beatipg down the prices of cotton in order to prevent the farmers secur ing a fair profit that they may be en riched at the expenses of the grower?

Francis Wilson, the comedian, said at a dinner In New York appropos of the law that forbade the performance of his play, "The Bachelor's Ba by." i "The law against chl'd labor Is an excellent one, but It ia an abuse of this law to forbid children, properly protected, to appear on the stage. "The best of things are open to abuse, you know. Even prayer meetings." Mr. Wilson smiled.

"Deacon Jones was too shocked at first to reply. lie soon recovered himself, however, and he rose in bis pew and said: " I am Indeed glad, dear Christian friends, to have gained Brother Wil liam Spargus' forgiveness, but, all the same, he ain't paid me for the hoss yet.' " To Maeh Water. National Magazine- A Kentucky Senator told about an old pilot on the Mississippi, aged 82, who was recouating an incident con nected with the temperance question: "Interperance is ruining the na tion," he insisted. "The sad victims are on every side of us; I have seen many, of them In my long career. Once we bad a passenger on a b team- boat where I was pilot; he was in toxicated and fell overboard.

" public does not seem at all likely. Is the Department of Justice interpos ing in behalf of those who are try ing to get legislation to break up the system of dealing in future contracts, some measure special efforts for the promotion of public morality. (This is a feature which Is not kept so well In view.) Hence, when prominent public officials betray their trust by peculation, gross negligence, conniv ance at wrongdoing, etc, they are guilty of a two-fold breach the one common justice, the other a crime against social morality; and of the two, the latter Is oiten the wor3e, be cause it Is more far-reaching in its power for evlL The wrong done the public by notorious gralt or thievery is bad enough, but the permanent or Indnfinite iDjury done to public mor als is still worse. The crimes of the men in the ilimelight are rarely, if ever, isolated acts, beiaom ao iney stand alone. Their worst feature is that they commonly beget a brood of vipers like unto themselves.

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 to the cause of morality than a host Indispensable For Home Baking of theoretical moralists. "Don't do as I do, but do as I say," is good enough in its way. True, the prin ciples of morality are ever the same just as sound and binding no mat ter how numerous or how prominent the men who disregard them. Nev ertheless, we must take men as we find them; and the fact retains that, for the most part, they are end ever wili be far more deeply impressed by our acts than they are by our word or precepts, And the men and wom en whose upright lives are sources of light and strength to those within their circle deserve to have their names recorded, and their memories revered, as the most noble and useful benefactors of society.

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. Dyspepsia may be completely erad icated if properly treated. We eel' a remedy that we positively guaran tee will completely relieve indiges tion or dyspepsia, or the medicine used during the trial will cost ithe user nothing.
