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.

Old Tlmt Eidtemtit til New 1 otk Kf
change Dae to Damage Reports.
New Nork, April ,25. Not since
the big break of January last has the
New York Cotton Exchange experi
enced so mue&, activity and excite
ment as today. It,wa3 a time ct tri
umph fcr the bulIaTbose already
strengthened position as regards the
old crop was sensationally stimulated
I y reports of disastrous weather in
the South effecting the coming crop.
This led to rumors that the bull cam
paign was to be, carried on through
out the end of the current season aDd
possibly into the early new crop de
liveries, as it was in the season ot
1902-03 when, after Sully's successful
deal in May contracts, Messrs. Brown
and ilayne, who are prominently
mentioned in connection with the
present bull movement, carried the
bull campaign through into July,
August and September. It is urged
in this connection that even if the
South finds sufficient peed to replant
the entire area reported damaged, the
cold snap has made it look like a late
crp, and that miite consequently
dependent upon old crop supplies
for a correspondingly longer period.
Meanwhile preparations for mak
ing enormous deliveries in May con
tracts are steadily going on. It is
said that the inspection bureau of the
New York Cotton Exchange had a
lager force of men engaged in pre
paring cotton for delivery yesterday
than ever before, and according to the
official figures, the stock of certifi
cated cotton at New York, which
was reported as 87,000 bales toward
the end of March, had mounted up
to'161,000 bales by the close of busi
ness Saturday with predictions that
hPtawn 1R0.000 and 200.000 bales
would lie ready for delivery by May
1st. Moreover, the May shorts have
until the end of May to secure cotton
for delivery on contract.
Far as the market learned, noth
inr fnrher developed during the
day in respect to the Federal grand
jury price exchanges Investigation
against the bull clique nor were there
any further disclosures with reference
to the affairs of Knight, Yancey &
n.v. thP Southern SDOt firm whose
-
failure caused such widespread con-
atornatinn last week. According to
latest estimates, New York firms are
creditors to the extent of over $600
, It is rumored that those firms
which had sold May against ship
ments expected here from the failed
southern house are finding little diffi
culty in adjusting their contracts
around present prices, and that they
ill be out little more than their act
ual advances, if the cotton does not
materialize. It is reported that three
English spot cotton men who arrived
here today from Liverpool sailed be
fore the Knight-Yancey failure was
announced with a view to investigat
ing the firm's condition. They de
clined to be interviewed today.
Seldom has such a flood of crop
damage reports poured into the local
trade from so wide an area as today
and for the time being it seemed that
the excitement in new crop months
was overshadowing the old crop sit
uation, possible legisntion at Wash
ington, the government investiga-
ion and even the Knigbt-Yancey
failure.
While the inference was that these
reports of damage was more or less
exaggerated, they were effective in
the market on the theory that the
sleet, snow and freezing temperature
found an UDusually large amount of
cotton up for the last week In April,
while ultimate damage from a new
crop standpoint was predicted by re
ports of any sufficient supply of seed

Damage complaints from the South
were, in many instances, accompani
ed by southern buying orders and al
most all the fresh buying for the long
account was saidto be for new crop
delivery. It was believed around the
ring that the bull leaders were selling
the near positions at times during the
day in order to prevent too rapid ad
vance or to reduce their holdings and
it was the new crop which chiefly
rt fleeted the broadening : of bullish
sentiment. October cotton sold at
12.94 or 57 points above the closing
price of last Saturday while at the
best point of today May touched 14.92,
or a gain of only 21 points. The open
ing advance in the New York mar

CROP DAMAGED 50 PERCENT.
New Orleans, April 26. Further
reports received here today from all
parts of Louisiana and Mississippi
indicate that earlier estimates of the
damage to cotton crop as a result of
Sunday night's unprecedented cold in
this section were not exaggerated.
With the cotton acreage damaged to
an extent of not less than 50 per cent,
including a total loss in many quar
ters, planters topay turned their at-
tentioo to replanting, only to be con
fronted with the grave problem of a
lack of seed. Unable to secure the
required supplies in their own sec
tions, many farmers have sought to
obtain seed in other parts of the
South only to be informed that the
same conditions prevail there.

Von Didn't l'nt Vim Enough Into It
Exchange.
A friend of mine bought a horse at
auction some time since, which Beem
ed to be a perfect model. He was as
handsome as a picture, b autifully
proportioned; he had all the earmarks
ot the thoroughbred and there did
not seem to be an out about him. Yet
he was absolutely good for nothing
as a driver or draught horse, and he
could not be used under the saddle.
He seemed to be all right and toihave
plenty of spirit until he was harness
ed. Once id a carriage, he fizz'.eo:
there was no life or energy in him.
My friend was soon glad to get rid
of him at aDy price.
A good many young men are like
this horse. They seem to be superb
ly equipped. They have fine phy
siques, talk intelligently and impress
you as having great possibilities; and
yet there is nothing to them; they are
nobodies in life. They never get
anywhere. They barely get a living;
just vegetate, and you can hardly tell
why.

Nothing Mora Productive Tban Intelli
gent Men and Women.
Joseph M. Hogers, in Lippincott's.
To make the well-rounded man and
woman, we must give an onjeciive
and subjective experience of life to
the boy and girl. We are making it
almost wholly academic. The great
objection that children have to most
studies is that they seem to deal
with unrealities, are so intangible as
to be nothing more than pictures. To
supply the needed instruction calls for
a much larger and more varied equip
ment than is now employed, and it is
going to cost a lot ol money.
How easily we raise money for any
thing which we consider really essen
tial! It is not forgotten how blithly
we entered upon the war with Spain,
phichrdid not prove expensive as
wars go, but brought in its train
an increase of general expenditures,
so that our national expenses are now
double what they were 20 years ago.
A billion dollars could be raised for
war purposes without the slightest
difneulty. We are not alone in this
respect. Ten years ago Great Brit
ain thought it washeuvily encumber
ed with del-!, but itexpeuded f 1,250,
000,000 in tha Rccr War, and has
been Increasing its expense ever
since.
France hap a public debt of nearly
$7,000,000,000. It may be granted
that the French are not growing in
population, nor is the uatioo expand
ing in any way outside its borders,
yet It seems to carry this burden
without dimculty, while every na
tion in the world that wants money
goes to Paris, where there is ever
demand for investment by the thrifty
people. There is not a nation in Eu
rope that is not heaving in debt, yet
not one that ii hi anything like a crit
ical condition. The point I wish to
make is that the taxpaying power of
a nation is ahvays greater than is eS'
timated, and good investment if ap
plied to proper purposes. Nothing is
more productive financially tban in
tellizent men and women. In 1879
our totil national ex pens23 were $275,
000,000. This year they will be al
most four limes as great, and 1 think
there are few who feel the burden in
any way. There are few people who
are aware that they pay any federal
tax whatever. Some think the edu
Cition of their children costs nothing

You may bring customers to your
store once by shrewd scheme and ad
vertising, but you cannot hold them
by this means alone. Unless you sat
i-fy them, give them good value for
their money, you cannot Induce them
to come again. But the satisfied cus
tomer is a perpetual advertisement,
tie not only comes again himself,
but he sends his frends, and they fur
nish a perpetual mouth to mouth ad
vertisement which gives stability and
permanence to a business (which can
never come from mere newspaper
advertising.
Many young men going Into busi
ness seem to think that price is the
only element that enters Into compe-
tlon. But it is really only one of
many. There may be a score of
reasons besides price why customers
dock to one store and pass by a doz
en half-empty stores on their way.
For instance, a great many people
never learn to depend upon them
selves in their buying. They do not
trust their own judgment, but de
pend upon the clerk who waits on
them. A clerk who knows his busi
ness can assist a customer wonderful
ly in a very delicate way, by sugges
tion, his knowledge of goods, of qual
ities, of fabrics, of durability.
The courtesy and affability of clerks
in one store pull thousands of cus
tomers right by the doors of rival es
tablishments where the clerks are not
so courteous or accommodating. Ev
erybody appreciates courtesy,' and a
little personal interest goes a great
way in attracting and holding cus
tomers. Most of us are willing to put
ourselves to considerable trouble to
patronize those who show a disposi
tion to help us, to render a real service.
He is a shrewd merchant, therefore,
who keeps only courteous, accommo
dating employees.
Confidence has everything to do
with patronage. We likejo patron-
iz? the firm which has a good repu
tation, and many prefer to pay more
for articles in a reliable store that
guarantees their quality, than to buy
similar articles at a much lower price
in an unreliable store. People are
afraid to go to unreliable places, even
though the prices are cheaper. They
have a feeling that they will be
swindled somewhere; that the lower
price only covers up poor quality.
There is no one thing that has so
much to do with a business man's
success as the absolute confidence of
