Night Session.
The feature of the second session of ! is sickness or
the Cotton Growers' Convention last
night was the address of Dr. George T.
Hid M. College,
All medical authorities are agreed
j that the blood is the great source of
j disease of health in the human sys
iicm. If the blood is pure, the indi
vidual is strong and healthy, if the
, blood is impure or diseased then there

Winston, of the A
whose subject was,
cation."
Dr. Winston was instructive and in
teresting from beginning to end, and he
made a great hit when he said: We
do not need immigrants, because there
is no race suicide among the farmers
of North Carolina."
"What we need" continued Dr. Win
ston," is not more farmers but to know
how to make farm products on fewer
acres, and how to have one man cul
tivate more acres."
Dr. Winston's word picture, compar
ing the city boy, standing on the street
corner, hreakfastless, because of the
lack of appetite, with a cigarette in his
mouth, and a coco cola in his stomach,
watching the lantern jawed, knock
kneed farmer boy, coming to town
with a load of wood, was another pc ro
tation, wnicn Kept tne delegates in
Laughter and keen expectancy, of what
was next.
"Twenty years hence," said the doc
tor, "that farmer boy, with whom it is
now not a ojiestion of can't eat that, or
this, but "how much more can I get",
"will be the lawyer, the doctor, the
leading merchant of the city, and that
city boy who laughed at him will be
working for ?20 a month."
Cotton is King.
Within my life, I have seen the cot-
Ton crop ot the world only -1.000.000
bales, and today ir i.? i;;,000.000, and
there are people living today, who will
see it reach fiO.00.0(K, every bale oC
which will lie used.
Fo-th Race Nke.
"One-fourth cf the human race today
is naked, and one-third of the remain
der is poorly clad. When this forth and
one third are clad, it will be in cotton,
and the problem of the cotton growers
will be to relieve this demand as cheap
as possiDte.
trri . i
ine cotton crop m its raw state is
only surpassed by our corn crop, and if
we take the value of the crop in its
manufactured state, it is the largest
-iup, ami inereiore u is a most impor
tant subject.
The State's Averaqe.
"Cotton is Xeith Carolina's only
crop, where the state average is great
er than that of the Pnited States.
North Carolina's yieid is 42-100 of a
bale per acre, and the average in the
United States is 37-100 per acre. Our
yield of corn is 16 1-2 bushels to the
acre, while the country's average is
25 9-10.
"It is to our cotton crop that we owe
our progress, for along with cotton
culture, comes cotton manufacturing,
and along with cotton manufacturing
comes other manufacturing. The one-1
ruth, of our population engaged in
manufacturing creates more wealth
than the four-fifths engatred in farm
ing" How wo Corr-pete.
Dr. "Winston next showed how North
Carolina farmers were able to compete
with the country when the average in
the whole country is greater. He ar
gued that North Carolina farmers were
able to compete because North Caro
lina farmers got more for their pro-
uucts man me rest of me country. The
average money W,. ,fr acre inXort'
Carolina is AK..71, while the money
yield in the whole count rv ir; $14.04.
This is due to the manufacturing pop
ulation taking the products from the
farm.
Larrr! Valuation.
The speakei said that the tax re
turns showed that Gaston count v lands
were the mn:;t valuable in the stat
being placed at. Sir; per acre, not be
cause they were the most fertile, but
for the reason that Gaston has a large
manufacturing population.

Rheumatism is strictly a blood dis
ease. It is caused by excessive uric
acid. Sores, pimples, etc.. mean bad
blood. Catarrhal affections must bo
treated through the blood to get per
manent results. To get well, to feel
fctrong. hearty and vigorous one must
have good clean blood and lots of it.
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid
neys and liver which causes, too. such
symptoms as nackacne, nervousness,
bladder and urinary difficulties, and
other sympathetic troubles.
Here is a simple home remedy and
the Recipe for making it up is as fol
lows: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce. Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sai saparilla. three
cumes. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teasnoonful doses after nnfii
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gredients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost.
Here the readers of this paper have
a simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms of blood, kidney
and bladder diseases which should re
lieve rheumatism and catarrhal affec
tions and replace that weak, worn-out
indifferent feeling with strength, vigor
and health.

What Cities Owe the Country.
"Town people owe the country much
besides their daily sustenance," said
the sneaker. "The towns m-A r ,ibt
to the country for that stream of man
hood, which comes from the country
to run the towns.
"I have never advocated that every
farmer boy should stay on the farm.
If his mind runs towards the law, or
medicine let him study that. It does
not hurt the farmers to have one quit
farming. That only makes one more,
who will have to use the farm products I
and one less who are producing.
Education.
ur. Winston closed his address
telling of the great importance
agricultural education. He said:
"I want this association to go
record as tavonng the Davis bill,
wmcn is now pending in Congress
uiiicii, ii passen, win give an appro
priation to the states for the estab
Jishment of agricultural high schools
in the congressional districts.

tnose ooys who have a natural bent
towards agricultural will be encour
aged to pursue this vocation."
Informal Smoker.
Besides Dr. Winston's speech there
were several inrormal talks made
and cigars were passed to the dele
gates. At the opening of the night ses
sion Mr. E. B. Moore, manper rf tho
Selwyn, was introduced and told the
farmers of his interest in farming.
He gave the convention a cordial
invitation to hold all their meetings
in the future at the Selwyn. Mr.
Moore's invitation was greeted with
great applause. j
. i . i
wumr speaKers during the evening
were Col. W. B. Rodman, Hon. Cam
eron Morrison, Prof. Alexander Gra
ham, Mr. Jasper Miller, S. B. Tanner,
John A. McRae and Mr. R. D Smith
who made a short talk on the rela
tions of the business men tto the
farmers.
Mr. Tanner and Mr. Miller were
called upon as representing cotton
manufacturing. Mr. Tanner said the
farmers had saved the situation dur
ing the recent panic by not becoming
nervous, and they had shown them
selves more conservative than many
of the bankers.
Mr. Miller's talk was brief and to
the point. He told the association
that he was with them in every ef
fort to advance the price of cotton
to a living level.
All of the speakers were introduced
by President C. C. Moore in a very
delightful way, proving the president
ot the association a magnificent
siding officer.
Just before adjournment was taken
Col. H. C. Bockery offered a resolu
tion asking our representatives in
Congress to support the Davis bill,
which has for its purpose the estab
lishment of the agricultural high
schools. This was referred to the
committee on resolutions.

The story is this: We are r ot the loser it's the New York manufacturer. This firm is a specialist of
Net and Silk Waists, and the maker of those pretty Net Waists we have been showing all season the hiph-
priced ones. He found the spring trade coming to the market earlier and necessitated their time on spring
goods; consequently decided it a good business policy to dispose of Net and Silk Waists on hand, even
though at a big loss.
He offered us one hundred at just about half original price. We wired to ship them. They came in
today by express. We opened them and found them to be exceptionally pretty models, and very few alike.
Sizes mostly 34, 36, 38 and 40.
I ou Know our specials are always bargains, and this is an exceptional good one. Come loo
over. We have them displayed on two large tables in center of our store. If they do not appeal
the best bargains you ever saw in Net Waists, do not buy them.
They will remain on sale until sold, but we advise you to come early.
