In North Carolina the jury boxes in each county are to be purged and filled sgain in June. This ia a matter of no vnU Importance, and public opinion ihould be alertenoofeh to com pel oar official! to a atrict performance - of their doty in regard to it. no mat ter bow worthy our laws may be, they will count for little anleaf the maobia try for executing them ii in the hands I of 'Kood and lawful men,' ai the legal nhrau haa it. The prewure oM arouted and intelligent public opinion n aecomDliah a exeat deal for the Bute, and for law and order, just here The evil results from having unfit men on Juries are too well undentood to require elaboration, but it ia not amiea to imprest the fact upon the people of North Carolina, leat some of thoee who are charged with the import ant duty of filling: the jury boxes ehould stow careless or indifferent. Law will count for little or nothing un leaa the calibre of the juror ia of the right material. The jury system ia the Tory beet form of justice. It ia there fore all the more imDOrtant that it be improved along certain linea. In purg ing and rsfilline the jury boxes next month the offioials in every county in thia State should exercise their strictest censorship in keeping out the names of all men who are not fit to serve on jury in any case, it matters not what the importance of it may be. Let pub lic opinion grow strong on thia vital question. It ia a matter that affecta every individual, man, woman and child, in North Carolina. Build up the character of our juries, and the oondi tion of socie ty will be greatly elevated, There ia an abundance of lawa on the statute books. What ia most needed now ia their enforcement The way to enforce them ia to purge the jury boxes of all men whose characters are un' clean. A DaBf'" Boa. Bausbury Post. Conditions on the Yadkin Railroad have become so intolerable and the danger to life and limb so great that there ia a very earnest and substantial movement on foot to take the matter before the Corporation Commission un less something is done by the Southern within a abort while. During the past six months wrecks on thia road have occurred with alarming regularity and and the fact that no lives have been lost is nothing short of a miracle. From every side and from all classes and con ditions of people complaints have poured in. Since the first of January . twenty wrecks have occurred on thia little road, we are told, and box cars without number have been smashed into knidling wood. .The passenger as well aa freight service is execrable and the arrival of any train on schedule time is a novelty CapL E. B. C. Hambley, manager of the Whitney Company, was compelled to drive through the country from Gold Hill Monday in order to reach home before midnight. Mr. T. A. Gillespie, the contractor, had a similar experience yesterday. All of the Whitney officers are now carrying heavy accident insur ance owing to the insecurity of travel ing over the Yadkin. The trouble is said to lie in inferior rail, rotten cross ties and bad road bed. General Crop Report. Washington, May 16. The weekly crop report issued to-day by the govern ment says: In the central and eastern district of the cotton belt good stands and satis factory growth of cotton are generally reported. Considerable planting remains to be done in the northern portions of Lou isiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and planting is unfinished in the Carolinas. Planting is about completed in Georgia, where the stands are excellent and the plants are healthy and growing fast. In the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas many fields are foul. In central and northern Texaa planting haa been further delayed and the crop, which ia very weedy, has been much damaged by h'eavy Jains, and ia doing well over limited d areas. In southern Texaa the condition 01 cotton ranges a) from fair to good, and much has feen chopped apd cultivated. Boll weevils and other pests are attacking the crop in some localities. Transplanting of tobacco haa begun in Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. Plants are generally abundaX. Much tobacco land ia prepared, and with the favorable conditions resulting from the rains of the latter part of the week this work will now be prosecuted ac tively. Mr. R. Robinson and family came in several days ago from Oklahoma, and are viritLng at Mr. D. A. Price's, superintendent of the Gibson mill, who is a brother-in-law of Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson brought with him a pair of fine blood hounds, which are for the polios dertment at Charlotte. . ..N. C.

Davis, who recently moved there from Concord. Mr. Bud Murr is on the sick list this week. Mrs. Ingle O. Cook, who has been seriously sick, ia able to be up again, we are glad to note. Miss Pearl Cline, who was called to nurse two cases of typhoid fever three weeks ago in Lancaster county, S. C. is expected home next Saturday. The exercises by the missionary band, together with the address of Rev. J. H. Keller, at New Gilead last Sunday, is compliment of well-done by all who took part in the work. The choir was well trained, and added a great help in their part music. Along the-Little Cold Water stream, in No. 5, we'll report a marriage soon, Don't you know f We enjoy the South Rowan items in The Times from Cold Water. Come again, Miss C. This scribe and daughter, Miss Annie Cook, spent last Wednesday at our home in No. 5 with some hands pick ing cherries of the May variety. We have gathered four bushels and one peck, and have more than two bushels yet to gather. The peach, apple, plum, black cherry and damson crops are good on the highlands in No. 5. A cool, dry spring gives North Caro lina a good wheat crop. What will be the result this year t This is a' fine time on oats the early and late crop and the crop points that direction at present The wet season haa been a harvest time with the potato beetle. The poison would wash off the stalks before the insect would eat enough to kill it Some cotton fields are in a bad condi tion covered with grass, and the grass larger in places than the cotton. Mr. H. A. Wensil, one of the oldest farmers in No. 6, said that one-half the cotton fields in his 'community would be plowed up and planted in corn. Mr. Editor, I believe that Providence trying to teach us (the farmers) lesson. But, we have always had too much sense as to our farming management Yes, we were going to reduce our cotton crop one-fourth. Mr. A did so, -and Mr. B added more than one-fourth to his crop. I know a township in, Cabarrus that more than one-half the feed, corn, bread and meat will have to be bought for man and beast to grow this year's crop. It is not Nos. 5 or 6. Our cotton crops are just about a surplus. To make a rough living we ought to get sixteen cents for cotton, when we buy part or all of pur meat and pay twelve cents per pound! flour three dollars per hundred and corn eighty cents per bushel. Is it any wonder that Providence comes in and says to humanity : "Thus far shalt thou go and, no farther." Now, are you going to replant in corn or cotton. If, the publio press is correct, Provi dence has decreed reduction in all the cotton lands in North America, C. BBIEF. Miss Tilldy Love died at the home of her son, Mr. T. L. Love. May 12.

As we see that our item of last week myeed the waste basket, we thought wtrWould try and give to our editor of that very interesting paper, The Times, a few items of the latest newt. 9 Our farmers are almost diacouragrd over so much rain, as Mr. or Green haa almost taken charge of the cotton and corn that is planted. Some of our farmers have not yet planted but very little cotton and corn The cotton crop in this neighborhood we think will be reduced about one- half thia year. Mr. Tobias Newaom and wife spent a few days last week at Mr. W. B. J, Best's on business. Mr. J. H. D. Walker has got almost all the framing up for his new barn, We would like to say that the gentle man that the old man "C." of No. 6, mentioned did not pass through Rimer.

Clay Grubb trial reached climax this afternoon when the pris oner took the witness stand, in his own behalf to tell how and why he killed his brother-in-law, Obe Davis at Piney Church, Davidson county, on October 16. His story was told in a plain, unaffected manner, and he made a good impression on about twothoU' sand people, who visited the court bouse to hear the testimony. Grubb said he lived one-half mile from the scene of the murder; that he and his wife drove to church that Sunday morning, the day of the killing, in a buggy, driving slowly in order to reach the grounds a little late, this idea being to avoid Pavia, whom be was informed had threatened his life. The defendant says that Davis was a most dangerous man. He said he saw him approach his (Grubb's) buggy soon after reaching the church with his hand on his hip pocket, attempting to draw something. "I heard my wife scream," said Grubb, 'and I jumped from behind my buggy and fired j I shot again and saw Davis weaken." The prisoner then told of numerous difficulties he had with Davis, but they had since mads friends and drank together. The defendant said that Davis had been outlawed for burning barns and other depredations, and bad tried to hire several men to kill the defendant Mrs. Grubb, wife of the prisoner and sister of the. deceased, was also placed upon the witness stand to-day. Her story was likewise told in a plain manner. Both Grubb and his wife stood a most rigid cross-examination in a remarkable manner, and each proved good characters, while the character of Davis was proved to be bad. Salisbury, N. C, Msy 17. All testi mony in the murder trial of H. Clay Grubb was concluded to-day. E. J. Justice, of counsel for the State, spoke two hours this afternoon. He will conclude his speech to-morrow morn ing. The case will go to the jury by Friday evening. The witness intro duced to day testified with reference to the defendant's character. Counsel on both sides express confi dence in a verdict in their favor. miaaloaary Conference. Asheville, May 17. The third an nual South Atlantic Missionary Confer ence of the Southern Methodist Church opened at the auditorium to-night with 2,000 delegates in attendance. One thousand additional delegates are scheduled to arrive to-morrow, the total numbering the largest representation ever accorded to a convention of any sort in this city. Among the prominent missionaries who are already in attendance, and who will be here during the conference, are: Dr. D. W. Carter, of Havana, superintendent of all the work in Cuba; W. G. Fletcher and Mrs. Fletcher, of Santiago, Cuba; W. P. Turner, of Ja pan; W. B. Burke, of China, and R A. Hardie, of Core. The capacity of the Auditorium, which seats 4,000 peopfe, was tested to the utmost to-night, and many were unable to gain admittance. Bishop E. E. Hoss, of Texas, opened the proceed- JjnKi with an address in which he out lined the work accomplished in the missionary field during the past year. The conference will continue for four days. la Greena- T illd a Great Revival kara. Greensboro, N. C , May 16. At a largely attended meeting of ministers and laymen in the Benhow Hotel As sembly Hall last night, it was resolved to hold a general revival in the city next fall in the following words : Re solved, "That at such time as may be determined in the early fall, we hold simultaneous evangelistic meetings in the various churches of the city, each meeting being conducted by the individ ual church, independent, in its method but all concurring in time and object" There will be no services at Central Methodist church nor First Fresbyte-1 rian church next Sunday morning on account of the graded school com mencement sermon at the Central building.

Nearly all disease germs that find lodgment in the system Rain entrance wilh tbs air ws breath, or through our food sxd drink. , If the stomach and digestive organs be weak, so that food does cpt readily digest, they will contain a sour, slimy fermenting mass, an ideal spot for the disease germs to grow and spread through the whole system. If you ruffer with headache, back ache, variable appetite, nausea, gnaw ing at the pit of ths stomach, sallow skin, heart-burn, furred tongue, sleep lessness, aft general debility, it shows that the stomach has been overwotked and weakened. A fifty oeutbox of Mio-na tablets will give quick and speedy relief. Ask Gibson drug store, one of the most reliable drug firms in Concord, to show yon the strong guarantee under which they sell Mi-o-na. It ia stated that in some parts of Georgia farmers are plowing up the cotton and will replant, it being figured that this is cheaper than to try to dean that already planted of trass. In North Carolina the protracted wet weather haa enabled the grass to run away with the cotton. It certainly seems as if Providence were helping the farmers to reduce the site of the next crop.
