War as a Stimulus for Trade, f There are many instances in the his tory of the world where war acted as a stimulus to trade; where It has correct ed a stagnant condition of business and has operated as the needed spur to set things in motion.

Among the advantages to be derived from the war with Spain by the Soitb will be the removal of misapprehension about its climate. In one or two in stances, notably that of the ridiculous talk about "the Virginia siin," attempts have been made to perpetuate fiotione that have long done service in certain antagonistic quarters. These attempts have failed in the face of solid facts, astonishing even to some Southerners, perhaps. When the call for volunteers was made there was, because of misap prehension, among families of IhVsol diers almost as much dread of the , ef fect of a stay in the far South in sum mer as of the possibility of active serv ice against an enemy. As events have demonstrated the small basis for such a dread, it has largely disappeared. One of the most significant circum stances of this process of pleasant dis illusion has been the condition of the troops at Tampa . CONSULTING A WOMAN. Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope. Examination by a malephysician is a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She puts it off as long as she dare, and is only driven to it by fear of can cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill. Most frequently such a woman leaves a physician's office where she has un dergone a critical examination with an impression , more or less, of discour agement. xms conui- tion of the .... mind destroys the effect of 1 advice; r and as h e grows worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink ham no hesitation need be felt, the story is told to a woman and is wholly confidential., Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women her advice without charge. Her intimate knowledge of women's troubles makesher letter of advice a wellspring of hope, and her w ide experi ence and skill point the way to health. "I suffered with ovarian trouble for seven years, and no doctor knew what was the matter with me. I had spells which would last for two days or more. I thought I would try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken seven bottles of it, and am en tirely cured." Mks. John Foreman, 26 N. Wood berry Ave., Baltimore, Md.

A Unique Character of Charlotte Says He Could Fight .the Spaniards If lie Had a Gray Uniform. The qietness of King's Mountain's Sabbath was broken and intense ex citement caused by the killing of John H. Edwards. It seems that Edwards and one Bonner had been drinking and painting the town red for several days, terrorizing and threatening every body they met. Warrants were issued for' their arrest, but the men locked themselves up in a house and refused to surrender. Marshal Ferguson went in and told the men he had a warrant for them and tried to reason with them. They would not surrender and said they would kill any one who came therefor them. Ferguson went back and reported, and the citizens urged the execution of the warrant. Fergu son then picked a posse of six men and went down to the house and demanded a surrender. They told him the first man who entered would be shot. Fer guson ordered his posse in and they had to get in a window from the piazza, the doors all being locked. As soon as the first man was in and had straight ened up Edwards fired on him, and he then began firing on Edwards, and so did a second mau who had entered, llonner presented his pistol at Ferguson with one hand, and a large knife in the other. Ferguson ad vanced and backed his man until an opportunity presented itself, when he grappled with Bonner and held him til the snooting was over with the other man and the posse. Edwards was shot through the head, and died m ahout three hours. Bonner was arrested and put in the guard house. He was brought out and tried by the mayor and fined $10 and oosts. The sheriff then served a State warrant on him, and placed him in the hands of two men to hold. Income way he made good his escape and they are now hunting him. The people are much enraged that he escaped. Copper Mines In North Carolina. The Boston-Carolina Copper Mining Company is -working copper mines in Person and Granville counties, where it owns 1,254 acres. The copper mines of Granville were indifferently worked forty years ago, and are known to be very rich, the ore being of very j high grade. Work shows that the ore j is of quite uniform grade and that there is a large amount of it. The ore is said to run from 10 to 40 per cent, as compared with 1 to 20 per cent, in Lake and Western mines. The company controls the Blue .Wing, Keystone, Pocahontas, and Gillis mines. Copper ore of good grade also exists in Cabarrus and Cherokee counties. If the Color Was Gray. Peg-leg Graham, of Charlotte, an nnreconstructed fire eater of ante bellum day in discussing the present unpleasantness to a war crowd said: "If they would put one of them old gray suits on me there ain't no five men could hold me, but I just couldn't fight with blue clothes on., You know we was taught to shoot at the red stripes, and I might wake up in the night some time, and 'fore I thought, shoot the fellow next to me. i You know force of habit is strong."

A most curious phenomenon has been observed in the flow of an artesian well on Kealla plantation, Kauai, Hawaii. The water has regular variations in its ftow, being lowest at 8 o'clock in tho morning, gradually rising until It at tains its greatest flow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then as gradually failing until 8 o'clock in the morning. Manager George H- Fairchild of the plantation thus describes the peculiar phenomenon: 1 "The top of the pipe is thirteen feet above sealevel. At eight feet there is a flow of about 1,000,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. By adding five feet more of pipe the. flow stops. We have had this extra five feet of pipe on top ox the well for a month or more, wait ing for extra pipe to conduct the water to the mill where it is to be used. . We have noticed a peculiar action of this column cf water, and I have been un able to find any explanation of it. If the publication of the facts by the Star will lead to an explanation, I will be very much gratified. "The column of water in this five ad ditional pipe placed to prevent the flow at 8 o'clock in the morning is at its lowest point one and a half inches be low the top of the pipe. Then it rises until at noon it begins to flow over the pipe. The flow increases until two o'clock, when "there is quite a flow. From that time, it gradually falls, until at 11 o'clock at night there is a very slight flow, and this ceases at 1 o'clock ia the morning, the water gradually falling until it reaches the lowest point at 8 o'clock, when it begins to rise again. "It has been suggested that this change in flow is due to the tides, or to the rotation cf the earth, or to ths in fluence of the sftin. It is interesting, and I should like satisfactory ex planation." Representative McCandless says re garding this phenomenon that in hi3 experience where an artesian well is Influenced by the tides the water never rises above the sea level. To-day. , GREAT .WHEAT YIELD. Banner Wheat Farmer at Charlotte, N. C. Forty Bushels to the Acre Wheat Growing In (he South. There has been raised at Charlotte, N. C, what is no doubt one of the largest crops of wheat ever raised in the South, not only in the number of acres planted, but in the bushels of wheat per acre. The Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer Compauy have 140 acres, and the president of this company, Mr. Fred Oliver, 110, making 250 acres virtually in one crop. The Oil Mill Company's land has been cultivated with cotton for eight years, the past five years raising a bale of 500 pounds per acre. Mr. Oliver's land has been cultivated by him for three years, and produced lastJ year 3o pounds of lint per acre. Both of these farms were as poor as any land in the county, aud would not produce under the management of the colored renters over 50 to 100 pounds of lint per acre. Mr. Oliver, as manager for the oil mill .and for his own farm, decided it did not pay to raise cotton at five cents per pound even when 500 pounds per acre could be produced, and concluded to abandon the cultivation of cotton and try wheat. The wheat was planted very late, as it was first necessary to gather the cotton crop. The first seed ing was done the last week in Novem ber and the last the last week in De cember. ..The stand was so poor on ac count of being so late sown that Mr. Oliver almost decided to plow it up, but finally concluded to see it through. The grain was put in with drills about one and one-half bushels per acre, and 450 pounds cf very high grade fertilizer per acre was used. The crop now cut, but not all threshed, will no doubt give nearly if not fully forty bushels of clean wheat per acre on the average, or a total of 10,000 bushels on 250 acres. The wheat is of very fine quality and of three varieties Red Mav, Fulcaster and White1 Clausen. About 1,000 bushels havo already been threshed and clean ed, and is very, free from cockle in fact, not a single grain of cockleseed has 3-et been seen. Mr, Oliver expects to sell the entire crop of the oil mill and his farm for seed. The Oil Mill Company has purchased a very complete plant for threshing the wheat and balic? the straw direct from - the thresher, having a capacity cf 1,000 bushels of wheat and baling fifty tons of straw fer day- of twelve hours, y It is certainly an object lesr on for the South, North, East and West to find such a wheat crop growing in North Carolina, and should be the means of creating a demand for land in this healthy section of the country from all quarters of the United States. If the wheat growers of the Northwest can afford to pay 325 to $75 per acre for land to produce fifteen to twenty-five bushels of wheat per acrer and to raise only one crop per year, how much better would it be for these farmers to go- South, where the land can be ob tained for $3 to $10 per acre, where farm labor can bo had for forty and fiity cents per day, where green fodder, for the mules can be cat at least nine months in the year, and, aboye all, where the laad will produce two crops per year instead of one. After harvesting tb.3 wheat the same land will grow and mature a crop of corn, Irish or sweet potatoes, peanuts, or a crop of cow-pea hay. The land this big wheat crop is on will all be planted in cow peaa, and Mr. Oliver expects to harvest three to four tons of cured cow-pea hay per acre.. This hay sells for more money than any Northern hay brought South, and at the present time is bringing S18 per ton. The crop of wheat will cost for fertilizer, seed-wheat aud all preparation of land, sowing and harvestiag, not over $11 per acre. The baled straw will surely bu two and a half tons per acre, and will bring SO to $8 per ton, or more than enough to pay for tho entire crop, leav ing the wheat as net profit. The cow pea crop wi.ll cost about $10 per acre, as the land will be fertilized about as heavily as for wheat. This crop should pay a profit of at least $25 net per acre, which, added to the wheat profit of 35 to $40, will make a net profit per acre of not less than $50, perhaps as high as $75. - The cow peas will be harvested in time to sow wheat on the 250 acres be fore December 1. What is being done on these two farms is simply a revela tion to all South and North. There is only one Book In the world never out of print and always appear ing in a new edition, and it is of this Book that Captain Mahan, himself the instructor of emperors and Eatiohs, re cently said, "In the Word of God I find not merely strength and comfort, but Intense intellectual satisfaction." -"Doctor, what is free alkali? ". . " The alkali used in the manufacture of soap is a strong chemical and is destructive of animal and vegetable tissue. " Pure soap is harmless, but when the soap is carelessly or dis honestly made, alkali Is left in it and it is then said to be free.' Soap containing free alkali should not be used where it may do damage. " " In the medical profession, in sickness, in surgery and in the hospitals we use Ivory Soap because it is pure and contains no free alkali. , . ' . . ' ... " Ivory Soap is a powerful antiseptic, it is healing to a diseased surface and stimulating to a healthy skin." IVORY SOAP IS oooo PER CENT. PURE. c Tea at $143 per Pound. One hundred and forty-three dollars a pound is what Ceylon tea of a cer tain kind brought at auction InXondon some time ago. This is stated, says the Buffalo Courier, on the authority of J. H. Gralro, of the Ceylon Import ing Company, who says planters of Ceylon were as much surprised as you or I or the next person at such fabu lous price. Owing to certain peculiari ties a pound of that tea probably repre sents, approximately, one hundred and forty-three dollars' worth of labor; but the figure it fetched is so extraordinary as to give the tea or the sale absolutely no commercial value whatever. This is particularly so because this tea has no appreciably finer flavor. It is named "the golden tips." The leaves, when ouly twTenty-four hours old, are picked from the top only of tea bushes. They are very small, not half as big as your finger nail, and extra expert pickers are required to gather them. It can be imagined that thre" hundred or four hundred people on the plantation must pick over several acres of bushes to get enough green one-day-old tea leaves to make a pound of tea-when dried. Or dinary tea is from leaves . which are ten days old, and consequently very much larger. A contemporary asserts that a Chi cago woman has invented a bed which at a touch telescopes and forms a sofa. This should prove interesting for the life Insurance companies. Beantr ! Blood Deep Clean blood means a clean skin. No beauty without it.
