Clerk I'hillipH has ho far issued sixteen licenses to non-resident bird hunters giving them permission to hunt in thii county. The licenses are 10 each, mak ing a total of $l;o which the comity hat no far realized this season. Lexington Dispatch. If our con tern porary will look into the matter it will find that it is mis taken in Having the county et.s the Ijenefit of this license money. It all roes to the State Audubon Society. The protection of the birds is all riht, but the 10 license fee is al. wronpr, as we view it. Not that the payment of this license amounts to anything with those who come into the State to hunt, but the principle of the thin is objectionable. A GOOD IDEA. iov. Aycock announces that in his forthcoming message to the Legis lature he will recommend tin-creation of a new office, that of State His torian, who shall collect historical matter anywhere in the State, look over, prepare and publish material bearing on State history, and tore arrange all ordinal records so they will be in permanent form and easy of access.

If any skep tical person doubts the wisdom of this proposition he has only to pass by the pol:ce station in Hale:gh while some of them are being thrashed by their parents by order of Mayor I'o'well. Kaleigh Times. The Times doubtless thinks the thrashing process is all wroiifi. It would prefer a reformatory (so called), where young criminals could be coddled and coaxed from wrong doing. It strikes us that the very reason given by the Times for a re formatory is one of the strongest arguments against the need of it. Mayor Fowell seems to have solved the problem of dealing with young criminals and old ones, too, for that matter. What we need is to return to the whipping-post law. There is too much maudlin sentiment in deal ing with the criminal class these days, whether they lie young or old. white or black. NEW SPECIES OF HOG. A new siiecies or kind of hog seems to have been developed in Johnston county. They have solid feet like a Lorse instead of split ones. Some specimens of this variety of porkers were recently sold, dressed in the Raleigh market along with a number of others of the usual cloven-foot variety, according to the Evening Times. Dr. Samuel V. Smiley, who lives near Benson, Johnston county, is the man who sold these freak footed swine, and in answer to a question asked by a Times representa tive he said: These round-footed hogs are not merely freaks of nature, but were a distinct stock or breed to themselves. He had brought his first sow. he said, from Onslow county several years ago aud had been breeding the variety ever since, because there was every indication that the species was exempt from hogcbolera. Dr. Smiley said that hia first pig with round feet had leen in the pen with oth vers that died of thecholera.and yet never took it. and at that time the disease was epidemic in that sectiou. And from that time to this he had never known a round-footed pig or hog to have cholera. What Shall We Have for Dessert ? This is an important daily question. Let as answer it to-day.

A Prosperous and Growing Town Whose Business and Manufacturing Enterprises Have Assumed Large Proportions Its Development as a Cotton Manufacturing Centre The Corbitt Uugzy Company Splendid System of Graded Schools, Etc. Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Sewn and Observer, was a Henderson visitor last Thursday, coming to look in upon the Conference and take note of the growth and progress of the town since he was here last, in a lengthy article in his paper Sunday among other things he said this: How Henderson has grown! It was a prosperous and rapidly growing tow'n when it was 1113- good fortune to visit it for the first time in IHH'-i, when the whole county turned out in homage to Senator Vance, in whose honor the county had been named. Henderson was then about one-third as large as now, but it was on the crest of the wave of progress. Tobacco was high, new factories were being built, nd it looked like tobacco was going to make Hender son another Durlmm. Kut that was be fore the blight, of the Tobacco Trust fell upon this section. When the trust, by virtue of its monopoly, sent tobacco down from thirty cents a pound to six cents a pound on this market, Henderson staggered under this blow. Its growth was checked and it looked like it was doomed to remain a small village. Prop erty went down and down, the postoflice receipts fell off, and population decreasad. But something like eight years ago the progressive men of Henderson, seeing that Henderson could not grow to large proportions without factories that give employment to labor, began to build factories. There are two here now the Henderson and the Harriet. To show how gre.it factors they .-ire in Hender son's growth, it is but necessary to say that they give employment to one thous and peopie and it requires twenty thous and bales each year to keep them going. They mark the present southern and northern boundaries of Henderson, but the growth of the town is steady, and if the town continues to grow these fac tories will soon be in the heart of the town. One of the most successful of Hender son's newest iudurttrics is the Corbitt Buggy Company. It was organized only a few years ago on a small scale. Intel ligent management caused the business to grow ami last year one thousand buggies were manufactured. The stock .if the company brings 1 .". Not many years ago Henderson and adjacent points were good places for drummers for Cin cinnati buggies. They nov give this country the "go-by." The Corbitt bug gies are so gcod and so popular the people win use no others. Hie success f this company shows what Southern orains ami skill can do. Tiie South will .lever get rich until it makes what it needs and utlizes i.suwn skill for turn ing out the finished product. Speaking of the South" s own skill, rev-alls the fact that in the Henderson cot ton mill no Northern superintendents or loreuien have ever been employed. The management started out with the policy f giving all these places to home men if they could do the work. They have shown that they have as much skill and genius in machinery and management as the trained .Massachusetts spinner, and they understand "Nof Caliny ways" much better. Whenever the progressive men who own the cotton factories have desired to enlarge the mills and they have 1110; e than doubled the capital in the last four years it has been easy to get all the money needed. Some Northern money lias gone into the mills, and not long ago when it was decided to enlarge one of the mills, the Northern capitalists were anxious to take the additional stock, but the home stockholders would not permit it they wished to take it themselves. Nearly all the money in vested in these mills is home capital, they are run by home talent from top to bot tom, and managed so wisely that they have paid dividends when "other mill's nave had hard sledding. That's what North Carolina brains and North Caro lina skill has done here. And it is what can be done all over North Carolina and is being done more and more every day. The institution that is the chief pride of Henderson is its graded school. The people here tried a long time to get along without a public tax for schools. A few years ago they started a graded school and were fortunate 111 getting .Mr. J. T. Alderman as sujerintendent. After all. how much there is in a man! And how important it is to have the right man in the right place! The Henderson graded school is as good as the oldest graded schools because it has the right man as superintendent and the right men nstrus teer. .Mr. 1. Y. Cooper showed me. framed and hung up in his office, a picture of the graduating class. The people here all take deep interest in the school .is this fact shows. The trustees have nur- chased an eligible and central site for the new and modern brick building that is to be erected. The next step Henderson will take is to pave its streets. It will then have all the essentials for growth and progress. i ne grow 111 111 ine past eight years lias been steady and marked along all lines. It stands second to no other town as a tobacco and cotton market. 110 lomrer depends upon one crop or one interest, and its peoplp are of the sort that know- how to utilize their advantages. Its business and its industries are on 11 sound bottom and Henderson will con tinue to grow upon solid and substan tial lines.

Moore, Presiding, Elder of the Raleigh District, North Caro ! lina Conference, has just issued from the press 01 .kawarus & urougnton his storv in verse of "Virgin ia Dare." the first ; whitochildof English parent age bom on the American continent. The story is well told. There are some variations from the historic narrative, but the line of authetie events is very closely followed, and there is no liberty taken that is not legitimate. The verse is well constructed and flows rhythmically. The metre limps in astonishingly few places, We undertake to say that the intelligent, appreciative reader who begins the perusal of this story of "Virginia Dare" will be so charmed with the narrative aud rhythmical flow that lie will 1m! tempted not to close the book until he has finished it. . It is a book which has a rightful place in the purely liiterary works of the State. It should be used as a reader in our schools; The verbiage is Anglo-Saxon, and mainly mono sylhibic. Dr. Moore is the only member of the North Carolina Conference, as far as we know, to bring out a volume of poems. He has laid more than Methodism under Obligations to him. The members of the North Carolina Conference should be the first to pro cure a copy, which only costs 50 cents. The volume is beautifully printed, with gray covers and silver ornamentation. The friends of Mr. J. C. Caddell, editor of the Raleigh Times, who deeply regretted to hear that he was ' quarantined at his home with small pox, will be gratified to know that Ids physicians pronounce it a mild case. All will wish for his speedy res toration to health. Sews and Ob server. NOTICE. rjMli: INDKltSKiNED HAVE THIS DAY fi qualified as Executors of the last will and testament of James II.

With all enormous cotton crop ripening, the largest fruit crop in its history and prospects for a great yield of corn, the South is reasonably sure of a prosperous fall and winter. Twelve million bales of cotton is a conservative estimate at this writ ing, August, 1904. The price for all months is really better than wecoulcl expect. Peaches brought into Georgia alone nearly :t,000,000, and the Souths melons and vegetables have netted two or three times as much. The South's cotton will give us half a billion dollars an 1 there will be. very little corn to buy next winterl In the West, corn prospects are fine, but wheat will be 20 per cent, short. So the West will barely hold its own. In the East, the presidential "cam paign and a slow iron and steel mar ket are depressing general business. Last winter the South's cotton money went a long way to avert a general panic. Now it looks as if the South will again furnish the money and the prosperity for the nation. As an exchange says, if merchants or tradesmen of any kind gave as much for nothing as the newspapers are constantly expected to do well, there would soon be nothing left, for the sheriff to seize. f flMS(5) 1 TAKES THE PLACE OF CALOMEL Laxo is a liquid, purely vegetable, that contains no opiate, mercury or mineral of any kind It is a prompt and positive cure for biliousness, tor pid liver, dyspepsia and constipation. 1 1 a c t s without iritating the bowels ; dispels colds and sick headaches.
