Women's Secrets
There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard
more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the
country, o These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but
the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr.
K. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help.
That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex
pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of
all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and
altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the
cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when
that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- mil
lion women, in a practice of over 40 Years, it is phenomenal.
end entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of
specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without
any printing or advertising whatever, upon them. Write without fear as with

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:
0 "This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but withtmt effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON,
"Thornasville, N. C, Feb. 22, 1910."

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
New York, July 29. A broaden
ing cf the speculation In the new crop
months at a rather sharp advance in
prices has been a prominent feature
of the week in the local cotton mar
ket Stimulating and strengthening
factors have been extremely hot dry
weather in Texas and. Oklahoma and
reports of a sharp decline in the con
dition of the crop over the region
east of the Mississippi. The 'unfav
orable reports have been received in
such large numbers that there is a
very general impression that the
monthlyjgovernment ieport, which is
to appear on August 2, will show a
marked deterioration in the crop
within a month. Some think it will
put the condition as low as 74 per
cent as compared with 80.7 per cent
in July.
A month ago guesses on the crop
yield of 13,000,000 to 13,500,000 bales
were frequently beard. Now esti
mates of 12,000,000 maximum are
common and there are those who be
lieve that unless Texas gets the need
ed copious rains in the near future,
the total yield is likely to be" nearer
ll,ooo,ooo than 12,ooo,ooo.
The reporter of a Wall Street house
after five trips of inspection over the
South this season estimated the yield
of ll,25o,ooo bales with average
weather conditions during the re
mainder of the season. The effect of
these sharp reductions in crop esti
mates within a month has been very
noticeable in a decided increase of
commission house buying for people
in many sections of the country, not
excepting the South and West. Also
spinners, both foreign and domestic
have bought freely. The buying by
continental spinners has ben a fea
ture of the trading of late. The buy
ing of this character seems to indi
cate a growing apprehension regard
ing supplies. During the week
local dry goods market and yarns
have been Slightly more active at
firmer prices. Cotton has continued
to arrive here in surprising large vol
ume for delivery on July contracts
and tenders duriog the week have
been heavy. Further large receipts
are expected here for delivery on Au
gust contracts. Spot interests of
prominence have sold the old crop
months rather freely at times. To
day prices declined early on disap
pointing taWesV Improved "crop re
ports . from the eastern belt and
liquidation. July notices for 10,000
bales were issued. Later there was
a rally on hot dry weather in Texas
and Oklahoma and a report that the
National Ginners' Association made
the condition of the crop only 72.9
per cent. f

Neighbors Pleased to Find a Sure
Cure for Skin Afflictions.
"I suffered for eight years with what tha
doctors called the 'seven year itch.' ThU
was like small red pimples such as form on
the face but they burned and itched, day and
night. These pimples were from my ankles
up, but mostly on my thighs and arms. I
tried doctor after doctor but their medicines
brought no relief. But at last I struck the
right treatment this was Cuticura. I
bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies Cu
ticura Soap, Ointment and Pills and a few
applications brought relief. When I had used
about half the set I was nearly cured and after
using two full sets I was well and best of au, I
have stayed cured.
"About four months ago, our baby began
to be covered with a rash and his head with a
spreading sore. Back of the ears, the .flesh
cracked open and the poor baby would
scratch till it bled. He worried, cried and
could not sleep. Then we bought a set of
Cuticura and with a few applications the
burning and itching ceased, baby stopped
worrying and could sleep. When this single
set had gone we had no use for any more as
baby was never troubled with the disease
again. The neighbors who saw the condition
of the baby all asked what cured him and
when we told them, they were surprised and
pleased to find a sure cure for these skin
afflictions. Edward H. Carter, 323 North

Manufacturers' Record.
Tbe South' cotton fields lurnished
directly or indirectly $504,500,000 of
tbe $1,710,100,000 of domestic mer
chandise exported from this country
in the fiscal year just ended. Ol the
$504,500,000 total, $450,400,000 rep
resented raw cotton, $20,000,000 cot
ton cloths, $19,300,000 oil cake and
meal and $14,800,000 cottonseed oil.
The total increase in the value of do
mestic merchandise exported over
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909,
was from $1,638,400,000 to $l,710i
100,000, or $71, 700,000. To that In
crease raw cotton contributed $33,
000,000, or nearly 47 per cent. This
increase in raw cotton, despite a de
crease of more than 3,000,000 bale?,
is the largest increase in 50 of the
principal articles exported. Of those
50 articles, 29 showed increases, with
the exeption of cotton, ranging from
$7,700,000 for boards and planks and
$7,100,000 for leaf tobacco, to a few
hundred thousand dollars in other
items. -
The direct and indirect contribu
tions of the South to the export trade
of tbe country have, during the past
few years, averaged between 33 and
40 per cent, of the total. In the past
year tbe products of the cotton field
represented nearly 30 per cent, of thf
total exports, and, when are consid
ered the contributions of the South
to the $88,700,000 of petroleum ex
ports, $38,000,000 tobacco, $36,800,
000 boards and planks, $25,900,000
bituminous coal, $12,200,000 cattle,
$9,900,000 sawed timber, 9, 800,000
resin, $8,800,000 spirits of turpentine,
$8,700,000 fertilizers, $4,600,000
staves and $444,700,000 articles not
included in the 50 principal ones, it
is likely that tbe total contributions
of the South to the export trade were
much above the average, and that
the outward n ovement of merchan
dise through Southern ports played
a considerable part in the restoration
of the figures of merchandise ex
ports toward the place they held in
1908.
Tragic Fata of Man and Male.

With sightless eyes upturned to

ing prostrat3 beside a lifeless mule
with reins within tola grasy " the 'life
less body of Jam Jomes was discov
ered three miles out ot Henderson
ville yesterday afterthe severe elec
trical storm that swept this section.
Prior to the storm, Jones was plow
ing corn, and as be did not reach
home directly after the rain it was
feared that ill fate had overtaken
him, whereupon a search was made.
Jones' body was found outstretched
beside that of the mule, which he
had been plowing, deneath an apple
tree nearby where he bad beed work
ing. Presumably, he had taken tbe
tree as a refuge from the storm. The
tree beneath which he was found
showed no signs of having been
struck by lightning, but indications
were seen . on another- tree a short
distance away. It is said that tbe
case of the watch found on bis per
son bad been melted bv the stroke
that caused his death.
Now Ha Thinks It's Wrong to Bet.
Two old cronies went into a drug store
in the downtown part of New York city,
and, addressing tbe proprietor by bis first
name, one of them said:
'Dr. Charley, we have made a bet of tbe
ice cream sodas. We will have them now,
and when the bet is decided the loser will
drop in and pay for them."
As tbe two old fellows were departing
after enjoying their temperate beverage,
tbe druggist asked them what the wager
was. "
Well," said one of them, "our friend
George bets that when the tower of the
Singer Building falls it will topple over
toward the North river, and I bet that it
won't. "Everybody's Magazine.

REMAINS OF GENERAL PACK
HAM 'REST IN CAROLINA SOIL
From old records and . newspaper
clippings in her . possession, MUs
Minnie Massey, of this, place, fur
nishes us the following account of the
burial place ot General Edward
Packenham, who waa killed at the
battle of New J3rleans by General
Jackson's 'men. Some time ago
Miss Massey visited the place, where,
it is said, the General was buried,
and she gathered information for the
following story: '.
"In the early part of the eigh
teenth century there lived an old
man who kept a tavern on a stage
ccikch line at Morgantown, in Fair
field county, South Carolina, and
who sent periodically to Charleston
for rum. The barrels were brought
on shafts. His guests helped him to
dispose of the contents of the barrels
without mujch persuasion-
"But one ot the barrels being
drained more quickly than usual,
that is the rum gave out too soon,
they wanted to ascertain tbe cause at
once. Tbe barrel was burst open
and a dead man's body waa discov
ered inside of the barrel, to the bor
or and diiuiy of tha bysUndars,
who had drunk the rum off the dead
man.'
It is generally conceded that the
body of General Packenham was
never received in England. It is
claimed by some that it was mysteri
ously lost in soma way never fully
explained. The story further says:
. "After the death of General Pack
enham, an English officer concealed
his body in a barrel of rum, among
oth ej reasons to -preserve it, and
secretly put upon this barrel a pecu
liar mark in order that he could
easily recognize it. Whether tbe
barrel was sold unwittingly or other
wise is not known. But later a dead
man in a barrel of rum was sent from
Charleston to a person at Morgan
town, in Fairfield county, South
Carolina. . It is said that two sol
diers, who had returned home from
the; battle of New Orleans were pres
ent when the barrel was opened and
readily identified tbe nniform, in
which the body was dressed, to be
that of General Packenham. There
was also a passenger on board a stage
coach Btopping over at that place at
tha time and vouchsafed that the ap
pearance of the dead man in the bar
rel corresponded accurately with the
appearance of General Packenham
when be last saw him at the battle of
New Orleans.
"The remains found in the barrel,
whether they were those of the Gen
eral or not, were buried in an old
graveyard near the tavern, and the
inhabitants of that place and com
munity look upon it as the grave of
General Packenham." "
Lewis Bald Ha Harder ad Zacbary
to
Help His Fattier.
Bristol, Term., Dispatch, 24th.
Harry Lewis, 16 years old, of
Roanoke, Va., who was arrested
here yesterday for cruelty to ani
mals and afterward singled out as
the individual wanted at Roanoke
for the murder last Sunday night of
Henry F. Zacbary, today made a
complete confession, after which he
broke out into a cry and expressed
regrets.
Lewis said he ebot Zachary three
times In the head while the victim
was asleep alter which he took
Zachary's watch and about $60 in
money.
Asked why he conceived and ex
ecuted such a crime, he said that it
was to help his father "out of a
hole." He said his father, who is
ioundry boss at the West End Fur
nace in Roanoke, was in need of
money.
The Roanoke police express the
belief that Lewis was influenced by
dime novels and Wild West pictures.
Lewis has a swarthy complexion
and dark brown hair and weighs 132
pounds. His face is tanned as a
result of his wanderings since he
killed Zacbary. From Roanoke he
went to the former home of his par
ents at Shenandoah, thence to Nor
folk and Washington, and from there
to this city, arriving here Friday.
He waa in the city jail for another
cause wnen a post card describing
mm as tbe youth wanted was re
ceived here from Roanoke. .

'THE COST OF LIVING AND THE
SIMPLE LIFE.
From "The Increased Cost of Living", by
J. Laurence Laughlln, in Scribner's.
Special causes, such as high tariffs,
agricultural readjustment, higher
wages, and increasing expenditures
ot the rich, have opereted : to raise
prices. The resultant seems to be
tbe outcome of special forces on the
goods side of the price ratio working
to raise the prices of goods more than
inventions and progress in the arts
have been able to depress them. In
this respect the latter differs from the
earlier period.
Lastly, it must be admitted that,
aside from the higher prices of many
staple articles, our standard of living
has changed with the growing wealth
of tbe country. Each family now
wishes more expensive food, better
clothes, more costly millinery, more
pictures and books and those of a
higher price, more bicycles and auto
mobiles, more horseback riding, more
traveling, stays at higher priced ho
tels, passege on more expensive
steamers, than formerly alt to keep
up in the procession with the euc
cessturich, who are increasing enor
mously in numbers. Every one ex
pects, as a matter of course, to buy
fruits and vegetables out of season
such as a very short time ago were
considered within the reach of only
the largest purses. Our kitchen ec
onomy is quite too wasteful; we
throw away fats and buy lard to
take their place. May it not be the
psychological hour to call for
creation of a new aristocracy of
simple life, of those who care for
reality and not for the shadow,
tba true inward pleasures of
the
the
the
for
tbe
mind rather than for the external
evanescent show? May it not be
high time to oreate a free-masonry
of those who do not agk how much
one has, nor how much oue knows,
but what one is? Gold i3 the sen e
of riches, may be the root of all evil;
but gold, in the sense of a standard
of prices, cannot be the sale root of
the evil in our increased cost of liv-
ng. From "The Increased Cost of
Living," by J. Laurence Lauchlia,

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
Monroe Enquirer .
The agricultural school is coming.
They are teaching elementary ag
riculture in the public schools now,
but that is about like teaching the
public school book on physiology to
a real doctor it does not go far
enough. A movement has been on
foot for some time to have some real
farming taught the boys of North
Carolina. The State Farmers' Un
ion, now in session in Raleigh, has
taken up the matter of agricultural
education and in a ppeech before that
body last Tuesday, State Superinten
dent J. Y. Joyner declared in favor
of establishing agricultural farm life
in schools, at least one in each coun
ty. He outlined the plan of having
the Legislature appropriate $50,000
or 31U0.390 and then apportioning
this in lots of $2,500 to counties in
which the county authorities and the
people will provide suitable farm and
school buildings, including dormito
ries and raie at least an additional
$2,500 toward maintenance. He de
clared this the most needful step at
the time, in tbe development of the
educational system of tbe State. He
thought that a $50,000 appropriation
should be uemanded ol the next
Legislature and thU allotted through
out the State, where counties were
ready to undertake this advanced
work.
JAPANESE HEROISM.
Tho
Bravo Record of tho Lost
of
Submarine Vsssel.
Subjoined is tbe translation of a mes
sage written by Lieutenant Tautoma
Baku ma, who was In command of the
Japanese submarine No. 6, which
foundered while maneuvering In Hiro
shima bay. The message was found
in tbe conning tower of tbe submarine
after she had been brought to the sur
face:
It is with the deepest regret that 1
write this message to describe tbe loss
of this boat with my fellow officers
and men, due to my own fault. 1
would here specially mention that all
steps have been taken to raise her,
my comrades and men working ear
nestly and calmly till tbe end. I or
dered tbe ship to dire with the engine
running, but as I found she went down
too far I trfrnl to shut the valves which
admit the sea water to the ballast
tank, but unexpectedly the chain work
ing these valves broke, and 1 was left
helpless, unable to control the boat.
Meanwhile tbe tanks filled with water.
nd the boat went down at an incline
of about twenty-five degrees. After
striking the bottom the water began
rushing in. the switchboard was im
mersed In water, all electric lights went
out, the fuses burnt away, and the
bout was filled with poisonous gases.
so that we experienced tbe greatest
difficulty In breathing.
Under these conditions we worked
our very utmost with the hand pumps
to empty the main ballast tank, which.
believe, we succeeded In doing, al
though we could not read the gauges
owing to darkness. No electric cur
rent was available, as I mentioned be
fore, and our last hope of rising to
tbe surface lay In working the hand
pumps only.
I write this In the dim light coming
from the conning tower 11:45 a. m.
"1 earnestly beseech his majesty to
grant me forgiveness and to succor
the families of my comrades and men
who have lost their lives In this per
ishing boat. This is my only wish.
1250 p. m.
"It Is with the utmost difficulty that
can breathe, though I am sure we
must have blown out the gasoline en
tirely from tbe tanks. I cannot con
tinue any more. 12:40 p. m." London
