"Major Graham intimates that this year's crop would have to be more than 15,000,000 bales to make the production for the last three years equal that of the preceding three, and should be worth at least four teen cents a pound. Taking the In creased number of mill3 and the larg er number of consumers of cotton products Into consideration, he sees no reason why farmers should not re ceive a fair price. "The following table of production for the years 1906-1909 is illumina tive for purposes of comparison: "1909 13,305,265 bales. "1907 11,325,882 bales. 1908 13,4444,000 bales.

Charlie Adams, the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. Joe Adams, a farmer who lives near Four Oaks in Johns ton county, committed suicide Sun day by shooting his brains out with a double barrel shot gun. It seems that Adams was in love .with a young girl and that they had some misun derstanding and she had jilted him. Yesterday morning going to her home with a gun, he told her he was going to kill himself, but she thought he was joking, however, taking the gun muzzle in his mouth after taking oil his shoe and leaning up against the well and placing his foot on the trig ger he blew the entire top of his head off in the presence of the girl. with the American Tobacco Com- j pany, was preparing to depart.

Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., convicted of wife murder and to die in the elec tric chair next Friday, have aban doned all hope and are acting as though he were already dead. The faithful father, who was hopeful while there was the slightest pros pect even of a reprieve, has done away with all his interest in Virginia and is going elsewhere. He will take Hazel, the convicted youth's sister, with him. The brother, Douglass, j will have the big tobacco company j which employs him to transfer him ; to another city. The day after the ; execution the name of Beattie will be ', merely a memory at least so far as its living representatives will go. It will vanish." OOO for Library Fund.

Mr. H. W. Horton and a surveyor from Boone went to survey a tract of land for the former about fifteen miles north of this place, and after completing the work returned to their buggies to find that the horse of the surveyor had been turned loose, and his harness cut to pieces. Mr. Horton's driver says that the men who did It started for. his bug gy, but on seeing the driver turned off into the woods and disappeared. Returning to town a couple of rev enue officerswere met going in the opposite direction on the lookout for some blockaders who had been reported-operating in that vicinity. The surveying party was evidently mis taken for officers, and they were treated very much as several officers were in this county several weeks ago. It will be remembered that the officers had their horses killed and their harness and saddles cut to pieces. Union Labor Officials Win Out. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21. President Gompers and , other leaders in the American Federation of Labor, may continue to associate with Andrew Carnegie, August Belmont and other alleged "enemies of organized labor" as members of the National Civic Federation. The labor Convention late to-day defeated the resolution "respectfully requesting Its officers to resign from the Civic Federation." Mitchell Denounces Mine Workers. John Mitchell told the convention that it was a "packed" convention of the United Mine Workers at Colum bus, Ohio, last spring that compelled him to give. up his $6,000 job with the National Civic Federation. He declared that at the proper time he would furnish proofs that delegates bearing fraudulent credentials were sent there to destroy him at a time when he "was bound hand and foot" In the Supreme Court of the United States, defending himself against the enemies of organized labor. After a day of stormy debate dur ing which the Socialists rallied to the support of the Mine Workers' Dele gation, the"convention refused its en dorsement by a vote of 11,849 to 4,559. As a result President Gomp ers and fourteen 'other labor leaders will continue as members of the Ex ecutive Board of the Civic Feder ation. . V Obesity Removed by an Operation.. Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, at the Sa maritan Hospital In Philadelphia last week," demonstrated the most up-to-date method of making a stout per son slim and sylph-like, and allow ing all women to glory in the straightest of "straight fronts," should they decree that such shall be the style. The technical name of the operation performed by Dr. Bab cock for the edification of the sur geons attending the clinic, is "re section of abdominal wall for obesity." The patient was a woman. Twelve pounds of fat were removed. The operation itself seemed to be simple. Dr. Babcock said that with a skilled surgeon such an operation was not dangerous to the patient. Great care had to be exercised so that no mus cles were severed. Exchange. "Cotton Root Skinning" A New One on Solomon. A correspondent of the Statesviye Landmark says: "Solomon said, 'There Is no new thing under the sun.' 1 But they are having 'cotton root skinnings' here in Olin Township. It strikes me there was no such social function in Solo mon's good day. It is this way. The family giving the entertainment gathers in the roots of the cotton ; stalks and invites their friends and skin the roots in the long evenings, and also have a social time together. The skin of cotton root bar com mands 8 to 10 cents per pound, and is quite an industry up this way." AToK GOflBLOOr 4 fU'f .
