A Message to the Tobacco Farmer We have no desire to play the demagog and no desire to flatter tobacco farmers with false hopes from impratical schemes. We do hope, however, to see the time when the Tobacco Trust will be brought under control and some method established by means of which the farmer may be in a position to demand what his tobacco is worth. Some re lief may come from the expected decision of the Supreme Court: but that is too uncertain for us to hang our hopes on it at this time. The one hope of success lies in the fact that the farmers in our tobacco.growing territory need not depend upon tobacco for a crop nor upon the Tobacco Trust for their money. If the white man had never learned to smoke the red man's tobacco or chew the leaves, the tobacco growing region of Virginia and the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennessee, would nevertheless be to-day a properous agricul tural section. We believe the chances are that these tobacco growing districts would be more prosperous than they are to-day. They would have won this pros perity by growing corn, hay, and stock, and other products for which they are naturally adapted. Now our point is, that this territory can start growing these crops now just as well as they could have started with them in the beginning if tobacco had never teen thought of. And in addition to these crops they can grow tobacco, which addition is a decided advantage. lin spring and summer, it's the natural time to store up health and vitality for the year.

The date will be announced in a few days. We do not advise our farmers to quit tobacco. Let every acre stay in tobacco where that crop will pay better than any other crop. There are thousands and tens of thousands of acres in Virginia and adjoining States, however, of which this is not true, and it is these acres that ought to be planted in com or other grain crops or put to grow ing hay, pasture or live stock. Most of our tobacco-growing sec tion has better advantages for raising live stock than the West, and most of this tobacco terri tory has advantages over the rest of the South in that it is free from cattle quarantine. The thing to do is to put every acre of land to corn, grass, or pasture that will pay as well in these crops as in tobacco. The high price of meat offers a bril liant opportunity for tobacco farmers, and as they begin to grow stock and grain, prices for tobacco must go up at the same time because of the shortened production. And you can apply this method this year without waiting for anybody to bust the trust. Ra leigh (N. C.) Progressive Farm er and Gazette. The Comet Coming, But Don't Be Afraid. The comet is said to be only 1 63,000,000 miles from the earth now. But do you immagine what a vast distance this is ? Traveling at a speed of 40 miles an hour, it would take an ex press train j2OO years to reach it. But a comet travels somewhat faster than 40 miles an hour. It makes a million miles a week. Even then, traveling at this in ! conceivable speed, you see it would take the blazing star more than a year to hit us. i Men's pants '9Bc. Biij lot of overall*. ~W. E. Butner.

Noted Checker Player Loses Out. Mr. Z. R. Moran, known as a champion, lost his championship last evening with great sorrow. Mr. Moran told the writer a few days ago that he had played 40 games in the last month, and only lost two games, and there was one certain fellow that he wanted to lock horns with, and if he won the game from him that he was going to advertise for a player that could interest him, but when he came in con tact with the other fellow to his great surprise the other fellow won the game 4 to 0. I will not mention his name, but he can be found when Mr. Moran wants another game. A CHECKER PLAYER. The splendid work of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is daily coming- to light.
