I'..'il-itrli N'ena and Observer. A book by two Raleijrh men au nounred by sucli a publishing' house as Doubleday, Page & Co., is in itself worth something, and when the sub ject is the all-absorbing topic of Cot ton, it must attract even more at tention. It i with real interest, therefore, that we read in the New York publishing house's announce ment of spring books: ''Cotton: Its Cultivation, Market ing, Manufacture, and the Problems of the Cotton World, by Prof. Chas. V. liurkett, of the A. & M. College, ami Clarence II. Poe, editor of the Haleigh Progressiva Farmer. Seen by a Sews and Observer re porter, Mr. Poe said that the book was written at the request of Double day, Page & Co., last fall, will make 300 to 100 pages, including G4 pages of illustrations, and will be out by April 12. The table of contents show that the book deals with every question from the preparation of the land before planting to the final ex portation and manufacture of cot ton goods. The publishers expect to push it vigorously throughout the country. Sil never knew,'" said Mr. Poe. "un til 1 went exhaustively into the sub ject, just what a king indeed is cot ton. It is the only crop for which nature has provided no substitute. It is of all crops, when the sted (or their equivalent) are returned to the soil, the least exhaustive tothe fertil ity of the land It is the only crop which in a large measure may feed, clothe and shelter man. doesn't fkak foreign competition. It is indeed a great heritage that we of the South have a practical monopoly of this indispensable world crop, and the South has only begun to get the wealth that is yet to be hers. Investigation has convinced me that there is no danger of foreign competition so long as the price is lelov 12 cents." "Do you see that book?' Mr. Poe asked, turning to a bulky, time-worn volume ontitled "Cotton is King: or Pro-Slavery Arguments.'' "Well. 1 borrowed it the other day from Col. Clins. E. Johnson. It was printed in 1858 and it shows that England and the English govern ment were trying just as hard, just as earnestly, with just as much Mul berry Scllars optimism, to grow cot ton then in India and Africa and the islands ns they an- now. It is really amusing. South Carolina Compulsary Education Bill Defeated. Durham Sun. Compulsary education has been de feated in the South Carolina legisla ture by the narrow margin of one vote. It is a significant fact that the cotton mill managers favored the bill. This is exactly contradictory of some of the sensational stories of "white child slavery in the South," which we have seen printed from time to time, lhe bill was defeated on the ground that it would mean dan gerous interference by the State with the rights of parents in the control of their own children. The cotton mill men contended the proposed law would relieve their communities of the evil and danger of children too voung to enter the mills but left run ning loose about the streets because their parents are too careless and neglectful to see that they attend the schools provided for them. About most large mill villages there is a class of squaw men who put their families in the mill and live in idle ness on the earnings of their women and children. It was felt, however, that not even to reach this class could the State adopt the principle of requiring parents to send children to schools whether thev wish to do so or not. The announcement that the Wo man's Club of Raleigh has taken in hand the matter of raising funds for the erection of a monument to Sir "Walter Raleigh probably means that the money will be forthcoming. The women generally manage to do better than the men on euch matters and this is not likely to prove an ex ception. Charlotte Observer. Wood's Seeds.

Straoge Case of Henry Sykes of Co lumbia, N. C, Afflicted with a Curi ous Disease Doctors Have Been Expecting Him to Die for Twelve Months, but Nature Performs an Amputation and the Indications are that the Man will Recover. Elizabeth City Tar Heel. One of the most interesting cases to come under the observation of lo cal physicians is that of Mr. Henry Sykes, of Columbia, N. C, who has been in a critical condition for the past year. He Has been afflicted with a curi ous disease in -the lee;, in which the flesh from the knee to the foot has for more than a year been undergo ing a slow process of ossification. The nature of the peculiar disease has battled not only the local physi cians, but also noted specialists and surgeons in Ualtimore and Phila delphia. Apparently, Mr. Sykes was doomed to die, and friends and rela tives have nightly for many months past gathered at his bedside to nurse him awaiting expectantly for his death. Physicians gave him up acknowl edging the fact they could do noth ing for him further than to give him ease from pain with an opiate. thus for a 3-ear has he lived, with out ever for a moment being placed in a recumbent position, always sit ting up in a large arm chair. J,ast t nday morning to the as tonishment of those, who were dress ing the diseased leg, it, of its own accord, amputated itself at the knee joint, and dropped off, leaving the remainder of the limb 111 a healthy condition. Every indication now points tothe speedy recovery of Mr. Svkes, who is expected in the near future to be able to le going about. The man to whom the disjointed irnb was intrusted to be buried stated that it was as hard as a piece of iron, that even striking it with the blade of a shovel would not cut or scratch it. Apostrophe to the Hog. . You will never know the trouble md pleasure of life until von raise hogs. They are a bother and vexa tion to the spirit of man while thev live, but bring joy and contentment to the soul of man when they die at hog-killing time. The American hog however, is the dad-blamedest, split, hoofed, long-snooted busybody ani mal we ever saw. lie can make a fellow madder than other animals that infest the premises. He will al ways squeal and muddy your pants when he knows you arc trying to feed him. He will get in your garden through a knothole and destroy enough produce in three minutes to feed your wife and children for three months. He will pay no attention to a wide open gate where you want him to go through, but will shovel out several cubic yards of dirt to make a hole into a place you don t want him to go. He is the biggest nuisance and most profitable on the farm. Ever notice how pjimIv the heart broken rirl cements t he nlnees t r yet h- 1 ( , er and awaits another smash? If you can't do .anything else, get out of the way of those who can. The average man knows a lot more than he is able to comprehend. A New Magazine I am bringing out another new magazine that you will come pretty close to liking. I wouldn't be surprised if it hit you harder than anything in the shape of a magazine you have ever seen. There isn't much style to it, but it has the stuff in it that you and everybody else will want to read.

A paragraph, a little bit, a saying, an editorial, a joke, a maxim, an epigram. Nothing Like It in the World There isn't anything in the world just like THE SCRAP BOOK. It is an idea on which we have been working for several years, and for which we have been gathering materials. We have bought hundreds and hundreds of scrap books from all over the country, some of them a century old, and are sti'.l buying them. From these books we are gathering and classifying an enormous numb-.-.- of gems, and facts and figures, and historical and personal bits that are of rare value. Furthermore, we have a corps of peo ple ransacking libraries, reading all the current publications, the leading daily papers, and digging out curious and quaint facts and useful facts and figures from reference book, cyclopedia, etc., etc. Don't fail to get a copy of this first issue of THE SCRAP BOOK. It sells at the price at which all our other maga zines sell Ten Cents a Copy and One Dollar by the Year. On all news stands or from the publisher FRANK A. MUNSEY, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York All theWay. This Promises Something. Charlotte Observer. It was pleasant to read in the Wash ington correspondence of yesterday's Observer that "a movement to es- j tablish Scandinavian colonies in Western North Carolina had been started," and "at the head of the uu dertakinic. are some Swedish gentle men, influential in Scandinavian af- J fairs in the North." It is to be great- . ly hoped that somethingwill come of this. If the Germans were excepted it could be said that no better class of immigrants comes to this country than the Norwegians, Swedes and Danes. Nearly all who have come have sought the Northwestand they, while prospering themselves, have done much to people that section and make it prosperous. They are peace able, industrious and intelligent. They are not as a mass mere day laborers but thousands are farmers on their own account, dairymen and stock-raisers, owning the property on which they live, becoming prompt ly part of the real, permanent citizen ship of thecountry.and makinggood citizens. We look askance at the im migration proposition, regarded broadly. There are those who, when the idea of choosing our immigrants is suggested, laugh derisively and say they cannot be picked; that the South must take them as they come, as the North and West do. Then we would better have no immigrants at all, though it is not clear why we may not, by the adoption of special means, as evidently have been or are to be employed in the case in hand, choose the immigrants by nationali ties. For a Scandinavian population there is unlimited room in the South. Jamestown Exposition to Open April 26th, 1907. The formal opening of the James- j town Exposition has been set for ! April 2Gth, 1007, instead of May : 1007, as originally planned. J It was on April 2G, 1G07, that the . English settlers in the London com j pany first debarked at Cape Henry, a., and in the desire fittingly to cel ebrate the .'500th anniversary of that event as well as the ter-centennial of t lie settlement at Jamestown May 1 is found the reason for changing the date of the formal opening.

Belated Fury. Richmond News-Leader. Darkest Brooklyn has been heard from again. From the depths of that sequestered intellectual jungle comes once more the horrid voice of war. pvidently the facts of the last thirty five years have failed to penetrate there and the civil conflict which be gan in 18G1 and is supposed to have ended in 18G5 at Appomattox is rag ing fiercely. Apparently Brooklyn is just beginning to get mad, to acquire the fighting mood and to clothe her self in the glorious but terrifying panoply of battle. The (5 rand Army of the Republic, the United Veterans and the Sons of Veterans have just passed some reso lutions. These are based on the re port that a monument is to be erect ed at the site of Anderson ville prison, in Georgia, to Captain Wirz, the Con- federate officer who was in command there and who was hanged by the Federal government after the war for alleged cruelty to prisoners. The Brooklyji enunciations fairly reek with the scent of gore. They declare that the resolving bodies are tired of the glorification of treason and are in humor to rebel against the honors bestowed upon the rebellion. They demand of congress a law forbidding the display of any emblem or relic of treason, obviously meaning thereby the Confederate flag. They go furth er and urge that every monument or memorial of "treason," intended to represent, dignify or honor any man who fought for the Confederate States shall be destroyed and that it shall be made a felony to speak, write or publish anything in praise of the Con federacy or its soldiers or representa tives or to the discredit of the Union cause or leaders. If all these gentle methods are not effective in stamping out treason finally, we may look to see the stern warriors of Brooklyn suggest something more drastic They are not in a mood to be trifled with. Their fury is slightly belated but obviously intense. Possibly the latest informotion that has reached them is that of the battle of Bui Run and they are but beginning to feel warlike. A baby will get awfully fooled if he thinks he is going to have all those nice clothes all his life. for You of everything that can be Common Sense. Thurify and Children. Our attention was called not long ago to the origin of the word "common-sense," that we honor so much and refer to so often. The man with common sense, our informant ex plained, was the man who voiced the common sense of the community the conclusion in other words, upon which public sentiment finally settled down. This is a good theory at least and is strictly true of the men pos sessed of this rare gift. He who is not endowed with this saving com mon nense is the man who has not cor rectly read the public mind upon any given question, and who fails to in terpret the concensus of opinion among the neighbors. We have all seen these rarely gifted men, and they are always leaders and guides, valua ble alike to stimulate or restrain the public conscience. Brilliant men are not always, nor usually, the ones upon whom the people rely in times of stress. The man of marked per sonal gifts is usually over confident in his own wisdom. He does not pause to feel the public pulse or take counsel of the many minds about him, while the man of common sense, thinking of others rather than of himself, balances the conflictingopin ions of those about him, and out of the Babel of voices weighed in the scales of his calm reason reaches the same and safe conclusions that satis fy the public mind. It is not toady ing to the opinions of the populace, but it is the great truth so often quoted, that in the multitude of coun sels there is wisdom. The fact is.that exactly at this point the highest wisdom may be found, and the man who first discovers and gives it ex pression is he who is gifted with what we call good old common sense. And one of the vital elements in his suc cess is his ability to bridle his own tongue, for the man whose words outrun his thoughts will never com mand the confidence of his fellows. Important Epochs. Chicago News. "There are only two important epochs in a woman's life, at best," re marked the cheerful idiot. "Name them," suggested the fluffy haired blonde who typewrites be tween meals because she needs the money. "Before and after marriage," re plied the cheerful idiot with adiaboli cai grin.
