JOYNERS DISCLAIMER. Increased Cost of Publishing Makes Ad vance Imperative. Adrian Mich., Times. Weekly newspapers in Nebraska. Iowa and several other western states have lately advanced the price of subscription from $1 to $1.50, and occasionally one in Michigan is do ing the same, while more will have to follow speedily ofr go out of busi ness. The patent , side houses have raised their service about 50 per cent. Labor and material of all sorts have climbed upward until those publishers who keep accurate books say their weekly papers are costing them double what they did a few years ago. As a matter of fact, no decent looking weekly should ev er have been sold for a dollar a year, or a daily paper at $2, for that mat ter. Omitting all advertising, no weekly could be issued a year for a dollar or even $2 unless the circula tion was very large. On the same basis a daily paper of 3,000 would cost more than $5, to each subscriber, considerably more, yet has often been sold for .$2j a year by mail. That time has passed and is not like ly to return. Itjiever should have been done, for the price was always too low. A fairly readable eight page daily paper is worth 1 cent a copy by mail, and that would amount to $3.12 for a paper like the Daily Times' mail edition, postage prepaid. To make even change, the mail sub scription price should be fixed at $3, invariably in advance. Any intelli gent reader, knowing all the facts, would willingly pay the advanced cost, knowing he was getting the worth of his money and buying his paper for less than it cost. - . It is an axiom of the publishing business, a century old at least, that the subscriptions and sales of-any weekly paper ought to pay all the ex pense of producing it. leaving the receipts from advertising to pary in terest on the plant, make repairs and reward the owner for his labor. It is safe to say that not a weekly in Michigan today is doing it, and the daily papers are still worse off. In more cases subscriptions do scarcely more than pay4orthe white "paper and possibly the postage. The only conclusion is that the selling price of weekly and daily lo cal papers must go up fully 50 per cent- It is a hard proposition for most publishers, but it must be done The Concord National Bank Capital 100,000 Surplus and Undivided Profits $29,000 Your Business Solicited.

Joyner, Were Vady false. To the Editor of the Observer : This is to certify that the reports that the paper? have told are vilely false in every respect concerning my dear husband's life and death. I am his lawful wife and we had been married 11 years and 5 months and 26 days. Our lives had been congenial up to the time of coming to Winston-Salem. His way of teas ing about girls was natural and I was always forgiving and patient with him, for I loved him and proved my love true till death, and I forgive him all and loved him still. As to my being raised in Colorado it is false. I was raised in Spartan burg, SC, and raised by Christian parents and respected. I struggled so hard to keep our last trouble from the public. I only told it to one family. That was our pastor and wife, and only asked them to join with me in prayer for his heart to be changed, for I thought that was all that was needed. We were mem berrof the Baptist church and we attended as often as convenient, and we both tried to live Christians. His mind became overbalanced on the girl subject and it seemed sfrch a great burden to us both. As to his going west 1 knew he was going, but I believe he would return to me in the near future and I continued to pray day and night for his heart to be changed, and I now believe his heart was changed, for the last time he left our home on Monday morn-i ing at 7 a. m. he waved his hat at me until che train was out of sight. But our trials were not the cause of hissad death. He was knocked by an electric light post under his own train and crushed to death while on duty for the Southern. He was faithful to his cRity till death and was shifting his train getting ready to start home for the next morning. I still hope to meet him in heaven. I want to thank all his friends for their kind sympathy and his friends will ever be my friends in life and may all meet him in heaven. Trusting that his name will rest in peace and honor and that I may find comfort in my bereavement, I am his wife, - Mrs. J. W. JOyner.. September 17, 1907.

The cotton growers of the South have lost millions by planting scrub seedseed selected with haphazard recklessness at the common cotton gin: mixed seed of good stalks, bumblebee cotton from galled hill sides, starred and misshapen cotton from fields practically turned out to grass by jjegro tenants, all this degenerate, unproductive seed mixed with seed of the better sort, and the farmer's planting seed taken from this disgusting mixture only to treed poverty for him by poor yields of poor cotton. If the seed used on your iarm are carefully . selected, and carefully bred up through a period of 15 or 20 years, undoubtedly jtou can increase your yield 20 cr30 per cent without one extra lick of work. A very simple plan of seed selection is suggested herewith by Dr. H. J. Webber, of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the only amendment we would suggest is that the farmer go through his field and select his seed plants for himself, instead of leaving it even to his best laborers. Dr. Webber's plan of seed selection is as follows: - "Take careful pickers that remain on the farm plantation continuously from year to year and train them to recognize the best plants, that i3, those most productive, eacliest in ripening, and having the largest, best iormed, and most numerous bolls. Each year before the second picking, have these select pickers go over the field and pick the cotton from the best plants only. These pickers should b paid by the day and not for the amount picked. Preserve sueh seed cotton separately, gin it separately on a carefully cleaned, gin to avoid mixing, and use the seed to plant the general crop tne next year, ii sufficient seed is not secured at the? second picking. the same pickers can be sent over the field again before the next pick ing." 1 ..' - . -v 1W1 is the land mark of Honesty, and who for over thirty years have pro duced chewing tobaccos of un- questioned merit In.Trai Farmer. 1 he close of the cotton vear on I Aiuauomiuuk&. September 1st was the occasion for the publication of some figures of absorbing interest bearing upon this universally demanded staple. One of the most itnkmir thin&rs brought out by the statistics was, that of the world's crop of I8.GOO.000 Ules. 1.500.000 bales remain oh hand as a surplus. A more striking thing about the situation is. that this sur plus seems to have no knnreciable depressing effect upon present prices of cotton. i The absence of such effect is due apparently to two causes: (1) The prospect of a shorter crop for this year, and (2) the universal prospering increase in facilities for spinning it. The 119.000.000 spindles in all parts of the world which spun 17.000.000 bales of cot ton last year have grown into 123.- 000,000 spindles equally as hungry for this year s crop. Great Britain alone added 2.000,000 spindles, or half the increase for the entire world. The same rate of increase, 4 per cent., was made in New England or Northern mills with the addition of 400.000 spindles, while the South ern States with an addition of nearly three quarters of a million spindles score an 8 per cent rate of increase in a single year. In Europe, the East Indies. Japan. China. Canada and Mexico the business of building new mills and adding to present ones goes on a rate the world never saw before. With 123,000,000 hungry epindles busily buzzing at their wonderful work, only a month would be needed to lick up the last vear s surplus of a million and a half bales. And that month has nearly expired already. No wonder, then, that this surplus makes so small - an impression upon prices, twelve months ago, with not only no surplus, but a dencien of overC00,000 bales, the price ofj The pM lady who distinguished her cotton was three cents less than the pies by mnrking them with a T. market to-day.

Would Be Unwise to Defeat Senator Overman. . . ' .. ... lasing occasion recently to reier to the high position taken by Hon Lee b. Overman in the United btates Senate, and the meritorious service rendered by him to his State and the nation, the Wilmington" Messenger said: . bull there are some Democrats in the State a fact hard to believe who are desirous of retiring him at the end of his first term and putting a new man in his place. We feel sure, however, that a large majority of our party will recognize how sui cidal, as a State measure, such action wouia be, to say nothing of its un fa rr ess to Senator Overman. The orly truthful reason those who wish his retirement can give is" that they want the onice for a personal friend, who is very anxious for the place. The question for the Demo cratic members of the next legisla ture to decide is: Shall the interest of the State be sacrificed and her reputation of being represented in the Senate by one of that body's brainiest t nd ablest members be lost, for the sole purpose jof gratifying the personal ambition of a politician? We have no personal interest in Senator Overman or his re-election It is a matter of State pride with us the desire to have North Carolina represented by Senators who will bring honor and credit to her by the position they take among the fore most statements of the nations. 31 l - I " - - - . ..

There was a small strike of cotton mill operatives in Charlotte a few days ago, and this was followed by small strike of mill operatives in Gastonia. Both strikes were so easily settled as to sustain the belief that there was no need for either. When matters are sifted down, it will be ound that the Southern cotton mill managers give no cause for a strike. n the two cases cited, the operatives ound that their demands could have been secured by the sensible course of a conference with the mill men and that the spectacular display of a strike was altogether unnecessary his should teach the Southern cot ton milH operatives' to think twice before being influenced by the strike agitator.

Winsted, Coun.. Dispatch. A trolley car in charge of Conduc tor James Furoy stopped in Windsor Locks to take a man aboard. After the car had started again the con ductor saw a woman waving her hand and running toward the car. Supposing she desired passage, the conductor stopped the car. The man who had just seated himself. jumped from his seat and ran back to meet the woman. As soon as the couple met the man put his arm around the woman s neck and kissed her three times. Then the woman kissed him. The man took his arm from around the woman's neck, looked at her for an instant, kissed her again, then turn ed and started back for the car. Conductor Furoy said this was the first case he knew of a woman stop ping a trolley car to get, a kiss. ' An Untaught Cow. Down on a Southern plantation the dairy hands were accustomed to do the milking squatting down in a primitive fashion, until the owner in troduced milking stools with other improvements.
