A Woman's Tenderness tA Toutli is never largely given to r& flection, which ia the gift of yearsj and although my life had In a measure rendered me more thoughtful than might have proven under ordinary conditions, yet it is to be frankly con fessed, by one desirous of writing merely the truth, that I generally acted more upon Impulse than reason. As I stood ta"" the Bunlight of that lonely mountain road, my bands securely bound" behind-my back, the end of the rope held by one of my captors, while his fellow leaned lazily upon his gun and watched us, I thought somewhat deeply over the sit uation and those peculiar clrcum? stances leading up to It. ; c Under other conditions I might have felt tempted to enter into conversar tion with my guards, who, as I now perceived, were far from being the rough banditti I had at first imagined. udging from their faces and language they were Intelligent enough young fellows, such as I had often found in H ranks of the Federal army. But I xealized they could aid me little. if any, in the one thing I most de- sfeed to know, and even if they could, a sense of delicacy would have caused me to hesitate in asking those per sonal questions that burned npon my lips. 3iy deep and abiding respect for this -atnsman whom I had so strangely met, snad" with whom I had attained some (fisgree of intimacy, would never permit sff my discussing her, even In' directly. Trith private soldiers behind the back -el their officer. Every sense of honor isrolted at such a thought. Not through any curiosity of mine, however Jus2ied by the depth of my own feeling, should she be made the subject of idle gossip about the camp fire. . For, in truth, at this time, tmhappy as my own situation undeniably was, and as a soldier I realized all its dangers, I gave it but little "considera 43on. Usually quick of wit, fertile la expedients, ever ready to take ad vantage of each opportunity, I had ftaien stock of all my surroundings, yet discovered nowhere the slightest opening for escape. The vigilance of the Ktiard, as well as the thorough y This Sign you know that you are getting the one prepa ration that has stood the test for over thirty five years and still re mains the Standard toaic-f ood-medicine, used and recommended .by the medical profes-.-l svm. She world over. ' SgoWg Emulsion is the embodiment of elements that make for good health and strength. AU, DRUGGISTS V fJR i makner in which i was bound, rend ered any such attempt the merest madness. Realizing this, with the fatalism of a veteran I resigned myself hsuall patience to what must be. Then it was that other thoughts came surging upon me in a aeries of interrogatories, which no knowledge I possessed could possibly answer. Who was this proud, womanly woman who called herself Edith Brennan? She had been at some pains to inform me that she was married, yet there was that about hei" her bearing, her man ner which I could not in the least reconcile with that thought. Her ex treme youthfulness made, mo feel it lmi:rob?ble, and the impression re mained with me that she intended to make some explanation of her words, when the coming of Bungay inter rupted us. How they might bo ex plained I could not imagine; I merely struggled against accepting what I locked to believe untrue. And this man? this Federal major, bearing tie same name, whom she called Frank, who was he? What manner of rela tionship existed between them? Jr their meeting and short intercourc I had noted several things which tcld ire much that she feared, respected, valued him, and that he was not cif y swayed by, but Intensely Jealou3 oi any rival In, her good opinion. Yet their unexpected meeting was scarcely that of husband and wife. Y.'as he the one sha sought In her nfit ride from one Ttdernl camp to naother? If so, was he brother, friend, or hus band? What was the bond of union existing between these two? Every word spoken made me fear the last must be the true solution. fi h were seme of the queries I sil.. y struggled with, and they were rendered more acute by that deepen ing interest which I now confessed to myself I was feeling toward her who inspired them. .It may be fashionable nowadays to sneer at love, yet certain it ls, the rare '. personality of this Edith Brennan had ..reached and in fluenced me in those few hours we had been thrown together as that of no other woman had ever done. Pos sibly this was so because the long years In camp and field had kept me Isolated from all cultured and refined womanhood. This may,- indeed, have caused me to be peculiarly susceptible to the beauty and purity of this one. I know not; I am content to give facts, and leave philosophy" to others. My life has ever been one of action, of Intense feeling; and there in the road that day, standing bareheaded In the sun, I was clearly conscious of but one changeless fact, that I loved Edith Brennan with . every throb of my heart, and that there was enmity, bit tor and unforgiving, between me and the man within who bore her name, Whatever he might be to her I re joiced to know that he hated me with all the unreasoning hatred of jealousy. I had read it in his eyes, in his words, in his manner; and tHe memory of Its open . manifestation caused me to smile, as I hoped for an hour when we should meet alone and face to face. How she regarded him I was unable as yet to tell, but his love for her was plainly apparent in every glance and word. As I was thus thinking? half in despair and half in hope, the two came out from the house together; and It pleased me to note how Imme diately her eyes sought for me, and how she lifted her hand to shade them from the glare of the sun, bo that she might see more clearly. Her com panion appeared to ignore my pres ence utterly, and gazed anxiously up and down the road as though search ing for something. " "Peters," he asked 6harply of the fellow on guard, "where are Sergeant Steele and the rest of the squad?" The soldier addressed saluted in a manner that convinced me he was of the regular service. "They . are resting out of the sun in that clump of bushes down the hill, sir." Brennan glanced In the direction in dicated. . "Very well, he said. "Take your prisoner down there, and tell the Sergeant to press on at once toward the lower road. We shall follow you, and the lady will ride his horse." " The man turned, and with peremp tory gesture eHred me forward. As I drew closer vhere the two waited beside the open door, I lifted my head proudly, determined that neither should perceive how deeply I felt the humiliation of my position. As I thus passed them, my eyes fixed upon the shining road ahead, my ears caught a word or two of Indignant expostula tion from her lips. "But, Frank, it is positively shame ful in this sun."' He laughed lightly, yet his answer came to- me"- in all clearness of ut terance. -1 believed he wished me to overhear the words. "Oh, it will only prove of benefit to his brains, if by "are chance he .possesses any." I glanced aside, and saw her turn 'nstantly and face "him, her eyei aflam with! indignation. , "Then I will!" s As jshe spoke, her voice fairly trem bling with intense feeling, she stepped backward but of sight into the house. Another instant and she reappeared. sweeping past him without so much aa a word, and bearing in her hand my old campaign hat, came directly up to 115. (To E3 Continued.) $30,000,000 RAISED. Plan Envoi vwl Whereby Will Benefit By Any Farmers RJbe in Price. ) New York, Nov. 21. New York bankers who have been conferring I here for the last few days witn representatives of the Governors Conference and of the Southern Cot ton Congress announced this after noon that they had raised a fund $5J).000,000 to be placed lmmedi- ateiy in tne cotton Belt states ior the purpose of handling the cotton crop of 1911 and enabling growers to participate In any rise In the mar- ket. The . negotations were conducted on behalf of the South, by Governor Emmet O'Neal of Alabama; Senator Bailey, of Texas, who has been ad vising his colleagues as to the le- gal aspects of the proposition, E. J. Watson, president of the permanent Southern Cotton Congress and Com missioner of Agriculture of South Carolina, and Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth, Texas, representing the Governor of his State. The bankers who will furnish the fund, according to the statement, are headed by Col. Robert M. Thompson of the brokerage firm of S. H. P. Pell , & Co., of this city. The financial support of several of the strongest banks in New York has been given to the plan, the statement continues. The plan proposes to advance the g 'ower . J25a bale upon his cotton, based on the market value at the ime of the loan. No Interest will be paid upon the loan, the only charge being $1 a bale, which Is re garded as a legitimate minimum charge for expense of grading and handling. The cotton is not held, nor taken from channels of trade, but ls placed at the best advantage. The 'grower Is given the right to designate the day of sale prior to January 1, 1913, and will partici pate in any advance in price to the extent of three-forths of the rjse of the market. Details of the plan are yet to be worked out. It has been de cided, however, to place the fund through State committees named by the Governor or. Commissioner of Agriculture of a State and " these committeesa shall be empowered to sell when cotton reaches 12 cents and compelled to sell when it reach- es 13 cents, regardless of advices from the growers. Provisions against any violation of the Sher man anti-trust law is contained, the promoters believe, ln a clause em powering each committee to name the day of Bale In event the market climbs to 12 or 13 cents "Of course," reads the statement, "everything depends - upon the ac ceptance of the plan by the indi vidual farmer in connection with hi3 pledge to reduce acreage the coming year." . Following is the announcement of the plan, issued after today'3 con ference: "The announcement was made here today following conferences that have been in progress for sev eral days between prominent bank ers of New York and leading rep resentatives of the South, such as Governor O'Neal of Alabama, Clar- ence Ousley, representing Governor Colquitt of Texas and E, J. Watson, president of the permanent South ern Cotton Congress and Commis sioner of Agriculture of South SCar- olina, that a proposition has been presented to these gentlemen, rep resenting respectively the Govern- ors conrerence and tne boutnern Cotton Congress, composed of pro- ducera and business men and bank- ers or tne boutn, wnicn means tne placing in the Cotton Belt States of about $50,000,000 immediately for the handling of the cotton crop OI mil. in otner words tne proposition is to give the farmer $25 per bale advance on his cotton, without In- difference being that he will regis terest, charging him only $ 1 a bale ter from Winston-Salem instead of to cover expences of grading and handling, letting him turn over the cotton to the holders who will ad - vance him $25 a bale and give him the opportunity to designate the date of sale prior to January 1. 1913, and to participate in any ad vance in price to the extent of three-fourths of the rise ln the market. "It is calculated by the present ordinary holding process the farm er Cakes all the chances of the rise in the market. By this plan he takes no more chance than he did before and has every oportunity of maximum participation in a rise in the market, meantime paying the debts he has to pay and saving the losseB sustained by country damage and by loss of weight and warehous ing charges. 'Provision is made against any apparent violation of the Sherman law. In that each State committee sioner of Agriculture of each State has the power to name the day of Bale if cotton reaches 12 or 13 cents, which, according to the tes timony gathered, gives only a close legitimate profit on the cost of production. "Of course, everything depends on the acceptance of the plan by the individual farmer ln connection wth his pledge to reduce acreage the coming year. The Individual farmer alone can make success pos slble. The undertaking is fathered by a number f bankers of which Col onel Robert M. Thompson ls the h:, tc :el;'r r. wl " " - kr." ::a l 'l and of the firm of S. H. P. Pell &' Co., bankerB and cotton men, and I all necessary machinery for carina - . w w lor the cotton has been provided. The commltteement here have been assured by a number of the strong est banks in New York of a thorough backing of these already 8tr0ng interests. "The gentlemen nere, as well as President Barrett of the National Farmers Union, consiaer ine pian acceptable to the growers and they are tonight returning to their i BpecUve States to present it their people and. If it be agreeable! to the Droducers. to put It into im- mediate operation. Senator Bailey, of Texas who ls bere baa been ad- vlslng as to the legal aspects of the proposition." I President Watson, of the Souiv 1 era Cotton Congress, commenting on the plan tonight said: 'We have carefully considered the whole thIng ln aU Ujj pna8e8. ( j can't Bay what the growers are go - - i ing to do. The financial end is strong. It holds out prospectsj of fine results and stops any effort at a corner of the market. It seems to insure an honest price for cotton and to safeguard .the commodity which is the very keystone of Amer ican finance. Some one besides the farmer may make some money out ' ' ol it: Dut as iaai is uoiie, iub farmer is being assured several dol lars a bale more than he would get under the present iniquitous market ing methods. We are, therefore, willing to submit and recommend expressions or interest and tne puo the proposition to our people and if ( He for whatever sympathy was felt they wish to accent It then help them to make it as effective as we can. "There is no doubt that the holding and . reduction of acreage pledge movement we have been pusning bo successiuny nas cnecseo the downward tendency of prices un ' der the persistent hammering up to this time. So far we have fought the battle unaided; now that money to the extent of $50,000,000 is of fered, we may fight harder and in the end, we hope, put a check to methods of marketing of a nation ally important commodity which the Federal government ought to have wiped out long ago."

Lt In addition to the two physicians aauiuoa to tue iwo there were gathered In the deatb 1 When the preliminaries were over, Superintendent Woods, accompanied by two deputies, threw back an iron studded door and started for. the death cell. Instantly the death chamber was plunged in blackness with the exception of a vivid cir- cle of lights from the hooded and poweriui lamp aDove tne cnair. ine chair, an oaken bit of furniture, ' which except for its straps and steel j bands might grace any library, was on a rubber mat.

The little party in the chamber heard the superintendent a few feet away droning out the death war rant, Beattie listened to it witn in tensity, but did not flinch. He stood during the reading, as is the custom, and when it--was ended he swayed just a trifle but quickly re-covered. Then, without assistance he took his place between the guards and began his march to the un known. His entrance to the death cham ber was as dramatic as anything he had done since first he commanded the public eye. He halted for a brief moment on the threshold, looked on the chair with an inscru table smile that had in it the Wadesboro Loan AND Insurance Com'y WADESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. R. T. BKSSKTT, JR., Pra.

It had been feared that the pris oner would flinch when the dreadful moment came to seat himself in the chair. There was no trepidation and not a hint of hesitation in Beat tie's attitude. Still wearing his pe culiar smile, half amused and half cynical, he stepped lightly Into the seat, settled himself as though he had been looking forward to the rest and assisted the attendants m i adjusting the straps and clamps by Placing his arms and hands In the ! proper positions. The only iadica- j tlon that he was under a nervous ' strain was disclosed by his tightly j clenched left hand. Wben tne law was avenged and Ithe witnesses were gone, .the prison ! attendants removed the body to the mortuary room, arhich adjoins the death chamber. There it lay for four hours until an undertaker, au thorized by the Beattie family to prepare it for burial, removed it to his morgue. Later it was taken to the Beattie home where funeral ser vices, attended only by the family, will be held. Interment in Maury cemetery will follow Sunday. CHAMPION CORN' GROWER. Charlie Parker, of Hertford Coun I ty, Raised 2354 Bushels to the Acre. Master Charlie Parker, of Hert ford county, North Carolina, aged 1, is nowthe champion corn-grower ct the world, having raised on cne acre 235 bushels of corn, harvest weight, which, when dried cut, made 195.87 bushels of dry crib corn, containing 12.21 per cent of moisture. It co6t the farmer lad only 24 cents per bushel to produce, tnls record-breaking amount." He had ttree acres and each of the other two contained practically as much as the one that was tested. Master Parker's picture will appear In the News and Observer in a day or two. j "When Master Parker's report wa : sent in. Director T. B. Parker, of the Boys' Corn Club, to make fnre that no mi3take had been made. sent Mr. T. Frank Parker, assist- 1 ant agronomist, and Mr. T.-J. W. ! Broom, assistant demonstrator, to Th eentlemen I were me(. at the home of Mr Parker by Prof. I. O. Schaub, special agent for the Boys Corn Club; Mr. T. E. Brown, of Hertford county, district demonstrator agent, and Industrial Agent Clark, of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. These gentlemen and others witnessed the re-weighing of the corn, after it had been cribbed and dried out a month. Every ear of corn was weighed and a part of it shelled and the result was 195.87 bushels of crib dry corn containing 12.21 per cent of moisture. On November 9 th, a Boston fer tilizer company sent out a state ment concerning a record corn crop in which a Mr. White, of Connecti cut, made 160 bushels of shelled corn, harvest weight and 112.68 bushels when dried, containing 12 per cent of moisture. Master Par ker's record far outstrips this, and goes to show that North Carolinians are writing agricultural history. Young Parker beat Jerry Moore's record of last year by seven bush els. In establishing this record he used only ten loads of stable ma nure and less than $10 worth of commercial fertilizer. Director Parker has quite a num ber of reports in from his corn club boys, who have made around 150 bushels of corn' this year. He Bays that the average this year will be higher than last, when it was 68.7 bushels. It will pay you to investigate the improved roller bearing force pump manufactured by T. M. Sheets & Co., Lexington, N. C, be fore you buy a pump. i. H. K. BCROWIJt, V. Pi WALTER K, BROCI,BcT Accident Health , Plate Glass Surety Bonds NO. 234
