The State Department of Agriculture haa since December let received nu merous earn pies of diseased cotton bolls showing blackened surface and in many cases having the immature Hot exposed and rotten. These diseased bolle show the presence of the spores or reproductive part of a parasitic fuDgus colleto trichium goesipyum. The fungus seems to be spreading in North Carolina and already does very serious damage. The estimated damage now caused is about one-half the normal y it Id ou the infected areas. The spores or so-called seeds of the fungus live over winter in the diseased bolls and stalks of the preceding crop usually left in the field. The Bpores also undoubtedly live upon the seed stored in barns and cotton gius. When this seed h planted or when uninfected seed is planted upon the infected soil the fungus starts growth along with the seed and grows up through the young plants, eventually coming to the surface of the stalks and forming black patches on 8 talk and boll. Great damage is done to the growing crop by the threads of this fungus choking the sap vessels of the leaf stalks, thereby causing the leaves to fall cff. When young bolls are seriously infected they Btop growth, open and expose the immature lint, which soon rots The only practicable remedy for this disease is to rotate crops so that cotton will not come upon the same land of tener than once in three years Seed cotton should never be taken from the piles at gin houses. The seed Bhould always be carefully Belected from healthy and prolific plants in the field. Such selection, together with a proper rotation, will prevent the Iobs now caused by the disease and will at the same time improve the strain and in crease the yield of the crop. The use of fungicidal sprays is not recom mended. Gerald McCarthy, Biologist. Substitute. A young married woman, who was passing the summer alone on account of her husband having been summoned to Europe on a business matter, had caller one morning, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, who asked if she were not lonely without her husband. "A little lonely," was the qualified answer. "But surely," said the visitor, "you miss your husband very much, now he is away?" The young woman laughed. "Oh. no," she said. "At breakfast and at dinner I just stand his newspa- up in front of his plaie, and half the time I forget he isn't there." Second Choice. A story recently told by Thomas Hunter, president of the New York Normal College, seems to indicate that once in a while a willing wife is spoiled to make an unwilling teacher. A pretty and agreeable young woman who lived in a country village suddenly announced that she was going to take up teaching. 'You! You a school-teacher!" ex claimed the recipient of her confidence. "Why, I'd rather marry a widower with nine children!" "So would I," the young woman re plied, frankly, "but where is the wid ower? ' Startling .Tlortallt y. Statistics show startling mortality front appendicitis and peritonitis. To prevent and cure these awful diseases there is just one reliable remedy, Dr King's New Life Pills. M. Flannery, of 14 Custom House Place, Chicago, says : "They have no equal for Constipation and Biliousness." 25c at all Drueeists a onae ana Dnaegroom trom "up A 1 1 m State" went into the Savoy Hotel a day or two ago and asked for a room.

"Gimme something on the first floor up," interrupted the bridegroom. "If there should be a fire or anything I want to git Nellie out.

Of course there is the exception to all the rules, but the proposition that mur der will out comes about aa near being true as any of the old saws twed by the world. And it outs sometimes in the most unexpected way. Probably the strangest out was the other day in Cam den, New Jersey, where a man named Carl Zarbee went to the sheriff and sur rendered to him, telling mm that be wanted to be hanged. He said that he had killed a man in Virginia named Jeffreys, and he had Btood it long enough. Inquiry elicited the fact that Zarbee' s story was trueK and he will be tried and perhaps hie wish will be granted. Of course there are several reasons why the man surrendered but the great reason seenu to be that if you im brue your hands in the blood of a brother you are apt to come into camp. The many instances of jrecord prove this statement and that U why the world has accepted as truism the statement that murder will out. .Tien in Bondx. Charlotte Observer. There is a distinct element of pathos in the walking from under The Observ er's roof-tree of some of the men who turned their backs upon it Monday afternoon. Some of them have been with it for years; Bome were genuinely attached to it and it to them. It has striven to be just to them, and they were secure and contented in their positions. The most of them have fam ilies, some own their homes here and others are paying for homes. All of them were making good money, were treated considerately and were happy in their work, but strangers, men whom they have never seen and may never tee, who have no interest in them nor thought of their families had de creed that, under certain circumstances they should strike, and though there was no reason why they should have done so, though they were satisfied with both their pay and their hours, they obeyed went, did! the o former friends, without one mi- ent's notice. It is pitiful, but BU"h f periences are ikely to fa'l into th-n of any me who sign away their liberties. Cargo ot Wild Animal Hade It Lively for Crew, New York, Sept. 29. A badly lace rated crew arrived here to-day on the steamer Indramayo, guarding a cargo of wild animals from Chinese and Ja panese ports. Six leopards and two big snakes caused most oi the injuries which were inflicted by the the animals during an exciting voyage. Besideb these animals the Indramayo started out with an elephant, Bix monkeys of a large and savage species, and some smaller animals. The leopards from teir cages suc ceeded in lacerating the arms and legs of si i sailors, who attempted to feed them on the rolling, pitching ship. In the Bed sea, one of the snakes, which weighed 200 pounds and was 23 feet long, escaped from his cage and crawled out upon the deck about dawn. During most of the forenoon the entire crew fought and rolled about, the deck in a struggle to get the snake back into his cage, xhey naaiiy succeeaea. Four days ago the t elephant died from complications resulting from sea sickness, and the animal's body was thrown ovr rboard. Good Reason. Representative Adamson, of Georgia, says that when he was judge of bis county court a fellow was before him charged, with having stolen a pair of pantaloons they call them "britches" in Georgia, There were Beveral wit nesses, but the evidence was rather meager, and the accused was acquitted. He was told that he could go, but he remained in his seat. His lawyer, to whose successful defense he owed his liberty, hinted to him that he was free to depart, but he didn't budg. "I don't want to go," said the fellow. "Let the witnesses go first." "Why?" "Why, sir, I've got on the 'britches' I stole." Strikes Rlddet?

McAra, who is president f the Master Cotton Spinners' Associa tion of Great Britain, says that eight cents a pound is enough for cotton. Not this year, Mr. McAra. We respectfully submit that the pro ducer is the proper person to say what price he will take for his product. An that just now, he is in a pretty good condition to say it and make what he says go. Of course, it is something of a blow to the English mills to be finally forced to realize that the planter wants more than five or six cents and is in a condi tion to get it. But then We have ourselves to consider, as well as the English spinners. And if the English spinners can't stand it, we Buggeat that they move their mills over to this Bide of the water, where the item of transportation will not cost so much that they get nearer the field. Our southern spinners aronot k:ckiog about the price of cotton. The English spinners will have to "come arjross" in one way or the other either come across with a good price, or come across the water, literally. Well Parried. "What passed between yourself and the complainant?" inquired the magis trate in a county court. "I think, sor," replied the worthy Mr. O'Brien, "a half-dozen bricks and a lump of paving-stone." In "Irish Life and Humour" Mr. WillUm Harvey gives another anecdote of the Irishman's readiness in the court of law. "Now, Pat," said a magistrate to an old offender, "what brought you here again ?" "Two policemin, Bor," was the la conic reply. "Drunk, 1 "Suppose?" queried the magistrate. "les, sor, Baia rat, "both av thim." Speaking to Future Aeea. The British Museum authorities have decided to make a collection of ; Sonographic records preserving the voices of great living orators, aingers and actors, and the instrumental ren derings of famous musicians.
