THE PASSING OF THE ELBOW SLEEVE.
There is every indication that the
reign of the elbow sleeve is drawing
to a close. The sleeves on the new
gowns are short, bat come well be
low the elbow, and the close-fitting
cuff or tucked chiffon and lace
lengthens them still more. The
fashion has" been so-exaggerated and
caricatured that it has entirely lost'
any smart effect, excepting in sdme
elaborate gown with which elbow
sleeves are appropriate. For mid
summer' and in the thin fabrics, the
fashion will revive to' a certain ex
tent, but fortunately-it popularity
has proved its own undoing, and ere
long it will be numbered as a past
fashion. . 'v'Vv;
ELABORATE LINGERIE.
"Once again common serehas
prevailed, and the over elaborate
lingerie waists with short sleeves are
no longer deemed appropriate with
plain tailor gowns, but are reserved
for the gowns suitable for them.
The plain linen waists, extremely
smart from their perfection of cut
and fit, are now much smarter with
the severe plain cheviot, serge and
cloth costumes."
THE PASSINGOF THE POMPADOUR.
Slowly but surely is the pompadour
roll in the front of the hair losing its
hold on fashionable favor. The front
and side locks most' certainly stand
out around the face, but the hard,
stiff and uncompromising line of the
pompadour is no longer thought
smart, and the hair must be in soft
waves over the forehead. . ' .
". . NEW LACE TIES.
Lace is more fashionable than ever,
and the soft lace ties, bows and
jabots are becoming immensely and
extremely popular. A band of Val
enciennes insertion, with a narrow
edge to match, makes a charming
tie, the ends finished with a wide
ruffle of the same lace. Valencien
nes and the fine laces are the most
used for this .fashion. Rare old
pieces of lace are making their ap
pearance. J3LACK VELVET NECK RIBBON. ,
Wearing black velvet ribbon
around the neck with ball .gowns is
immensely fashionable at the present
moment. The velvet is as wide as
can. be worn comtortaDiy, ana is
fastened at the back with a jeweled
bar. In front is a diamond pm or
buckle, diamond slides at the side or
fine specimens of the Cartier jew
elry may be worn over the velvet.
' NEW VEILS.
There are several new designs in
veils that are attractive. The che
nille dotted small rather than large
dots in the French veiling, is ex
tremely fashionable, and the clear
mesh makes it generally becoming.
novelty in heavier veiling is the
yard and an eighth square of chiffon
cloth, with large round velvet dots a
shade darker in color. There is a
wide hem finished with hemstitching.

LINEN COLLARS.
Embroidered linen collars, the high
turned down style, are extremely
smart, and are worn with all .kinds
of waists. They are fastened-in
front, and the favorite finish is the
tulle bow or rosette, fastened with a
bar pin of diamonds or. pearls. One
style has button holes through which
are put link cuff buttons, or a velvet
ribbon that is tied in a stiff bow. A
hemstitched edge, a narrow line of

An Editor's Appeal.
My friend, help the editor in his
wild-eyed search for news. When
your friends come to see; you, if
you are not a shamed of it, tell him;
when your wjfe gives a tea party if
you have recovered from the effects
of the gossip, drop it with the news;
when a baby arrives fill you pockets
with cigars and call, if you go to a
party steal some of the good things,
and leave'em with the item m our
sanctum. If your wife licks you
come in and let us see your scars
and tender sympathy through the
paper; if your mother-in-law has
died don't be bashful about itf give
in all the commonplace news. In
short, whatever makes you feel
'proud, sad, 'lonesome or glad submit
it to our 24 karat wisdom and see
bur matted locks part and stand On
end with gratitude which will pour
from every pore moisture .from the
dew besprinkled earth.

Slow and steady" may be rather
a dangerous motto if followed too
literally. i
"Well, how's Tom getting on?"
asked a friend, addressing Tom's
employer.:
"Oh; all right, I guess," answered
the employer, without enthusiasm.
"What? Isn't he sober? Isn't
he steady ?" again asked the friend
anxiously.
"Steady !" blurted the. employer.
"That's it. Indeed he is steady. If
he was any steadier he wouldn't
move at all !"
x On the "whole a motto written by
Thomas A. Edison on his phonograph
is more practical : '.'All things come
to those who hustle while they wait."
The Charming: Woman
not necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many a plain woman who
could never serve as an artist's model,
possesses those rare qualities that all the
world admires; neatness, clear eyes,
clean smooth skin and that sprightli
ness of step and action that accompany
good health. A physically weak woman
is never attractive, not even to herself.
Electric Bitters restore -weak women,
give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, beautiful complexion.

North Carotin Baptist
The use of this expression makes
us tired. Some of the Northern mag
azines delight in using it. They speak
sneeringly about our Southern people
who lives in the mountains anl talk
about their "ignorance, lack of cul
ture and intellectuality." And along
with their articles they published
kodak pictures of log cabins, which
they call "mountain homes."
These folks of the mountains may
not have as much culture as Boston,
as much society as Newport, or as
much wealth as New York, but they
have mose religion and every day
common sense than the whole push.
They do not have to be looked after
by charity societies and then do not
figure in divorce suits or in the police
courts as do many of the upper tens
and lower tens of the Northern cities.
If we have a magazine cl our own
we would get a kodak and visit New
York's awful tenements, ther shacks
and cabins of the out skirts, and the
debauched homes of the stockyards
of Chicago and we would get some
rare pictures to show our Southern
people.
i Our splendid people of the moun
tains people of virtrue and honor,
people of splendid physical life and
intellectual possibility, are far su-
Eerior to the hordes of toughs and
urns which threaten the very life of
much of the North.
I Just let the "Mountains Whites"
alone, Mr. Magazine man. They will
show you some fine day their su
periority ver your police court
crowd. V
Yes, it makes us tired to read the
gratuitous advices showered on us
by some of these fine folks of the
North. The trouble with them is
that they measure us by a standard
which we repudiate with all the em
phasis of our soul. We can hoe our
own row without the kodak and foun
tain pen of the misguided philan
thropist. v" "
! John J. Ingalls on Death.
i "In the Democracy of the dead all
men at least are equal. There is
neither rank nor station nor preroga
tive in the republic of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song of
the poet is silent. Dives relinquishes
his millions, and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the rich
est; and the rich man is poor as the
pauper. The creditor loses his usury
and the debtor is acquitted of his ob-
lcration. There the proud man sur
renders his dignities, the politician
his honor, the worldling his pleas
ures: the invalid needs no physician.
and the laborer rests from his unre
quited toil. Here at last is nature's
final decree in equity. The wrongs
of time are redressed." injustice is

versary who disarms alike the victor
and vanquished." " .

A" young man once wrote the
celebrated Thomas Carlyle, asked his
advice about the best way to get on.
The following was the quaint answer:
btudy to do faithfully whatsoever
thing in your, actual situation you
find, either expressly or .tacitly, laid
to your charge. That is your post;
stand in it like a soldier. Silently
devour the many chagrins of it as all
human situations have many, and
that you aim not to quit it without
doing all that it at least requires of
you. A man perfects himself by
work much more than by reading.
They are a growing kind of men that
can wisely combine the two things
wisely, valiantly, can do what is laid
to their hand in their present sphere,
and prepare themselves withal for
doing other wider things if such be
before them."

To; the Editor: Last February
when I was pleading with the farm
ers of this State to make a reduction
in the acreage to be planted to cot
ton in 1906. 1 got out what was said
to be a most "bearish" statement of
cotton conditions I was called to task
by men who held spot cotton, and
even President Harvie Jordan wrote
me that my statement was mis
leading. Twelve months have passed and in
reviewing my statement Lfind that
conditions to-day are about as I pre
dicted. We have a tremendous crop
from the 1006 planting and there are
bales and bales of cotton of the 1904
and 1905 crop stuck away in ware
houses, in sheds and barns on the
the farm. This cotton is held from
market by loyal members of the
Southern Cotton Association ; it has
iot been marketed because the hold
ers know that quite too much cotton
is being forced on the world, and
that if they were to rush their hold
ings into market, the prieo would be
depressed.
Now I shall make another "bear
ish" statement. As I se it, we are
about to go into the spinning year
1907 with near a million bales more
than the manufacturers need for this
year. I do not pretend to say that
this cotton will be pushed onto the
market, not at all; the same. loyal
men who have protected the price of
cotton for the past two years will
continue to keep their holdings from
market.
But for the weather damage to
the crop of 1906 the market would
have been greatly depressed. Even
as it was the great builk of the 1906
crop which has been sold has not
averaged above 8 cents per pound,
for the reason that most of 1906 cot
ton has graded poor.
Nowsuppose the season had been
such as to produce only a high grade
staple, any thinking man will see
that the price for good grades would
have been very much under the rul
ing price of the season.
What are we going to do about it ?
There is but one sensible answer the
acreage for 1907 must be reduced 10
per cent, under the crop of last year;
the cotton we hold, must not be of
fered at any time when the price for
any strong staple is below 10 cents
per pound. No matter . if it is
"stains," if the staple is strong, de
mand 10 cents and stand DaL
The merchants and bankers have a
great influence on the cotton acreage.
call on these to come to cur help
and beg them to show to their cus
tomers (the cotton planter) that un-
ess the acreage be reduced and the
cotton now on hand be held for 10
cents or more the prospects for a
gbod price next season are very
gloomy.
I earnestly entreat every banker
and merchant to advise the grower
not to contract his crop at any price
or future delivery. Nothing de
presses the price of cotton so much
as this practice of selling the crop be
fore it is made.
Yours for fair prices for cotton,

excuse for hU delay. Practically
half the week was lost. What would
that judge have done tf he had turn

another, fails to answer to his name
as it is called, is subjected to a
lecture from the judge, maybe of a
more or less impertinent character,

bale of cotton, while his honor rears
back in his chair and. calls "next."
The Legislature killed a mighty good

In other words, the judge should be
