New Developments Against Hook worm. 1 he State ami county dispen saries lor the free treatment of nookworni diseases are attracting wie-iM'einl attention hi teen eastern counties have made th necessary provision to have them. In four of these counties, Kobe- son, Sampson, Columbus and Hal ifax, the work was completed a bout three weeks ago and an av era ge of about :',(MH) victims ol the disease wee tidied in each eo'iiity.

New Hanover, Hrunswick. Craven. Pitt. Warren and Hert ford counties have made provis ion for the dispensaries and will be intend as soon as possible. I'ladeii and perhaps two or three other counties will take action the next first Monday. The dis pensaries remain in a county us ually six weeks.

Carl Helms, son of Mr. ,1. K. C. Helms of the Corinth community, dived into the creek last Sunday for a swim, and lit mi his head on a sharp rock, and the rock scalped his head as neatly as an Indian tomahawk could have done. Din. Xanee and I'.lair got a hurry call, and they found a wound that looked mighty ugly, 'nit wits not dangerous. The skin and flesh about the sie of a man's hand was peeled off the bone, but the bone was not in j ii :! . When a long section of skin is cut on the head the skin draws up like a pi if rubber and has to be stretched back to gether before it can Is- sewed up. This is why a scalp wound looks so very ugly. Myrtle Hawkins Case Still Un solved. The ease of Myrtle Hawkins, the young woman of Ileuilerson ville who was murdered in a criminal o)eration. and whose body was found iu the lake, is still unsolved. The coroner's ju ry made its report that it. didn't know .who the guilty parties were. H is pretty safe to say that everylmdy in that commun ity knows who they arc and yet it seems that sufficient proof could not be secured. Putt sooner or later it will be if the autlioii tiis do their duty. BARRETT SAYS STAND FIRM. Adviie3 Farmers to Deal Squar ely With Their Merchant and To Seek to Get All to Hold for better Prices. Mr. ( has. S. PurTcit, pivMd. nl ot the farmers I limn. Has ad Iresscd all op U letter to the tanners, in which lie says that the concensus of opinion of the Moiigomery meeting was that the rop this year will be 12. mi, OlHI hales, and tllell goes oil to sav : No sane southern man will tpies- tioii the statement to throw this crop on the market ai less man the price set will be snilul waste. In our opiuiou, the expected yield is not the only thing to be con sidered in setting the price. I'n der the present high cost of liv ing, everthing used by the cot ton producer in making his crop, shoukl the yield be much greater than this estimate, which is not likelv, it would be suicidal to sell for less than the minimum price. It is a source of great satis faction to the officials of the Farmers' Union to know that at last the business interest of the entire South have been aroused to protect its greatest crop, a fight which the Fanners Cnion has been waging single for years. We have borne the brunt of these efforts heretofore, hut in this gjod year of It'll we have every reason to believe that all South ern interests will rally to our support. Already your National Secreta ry has received contributions fr campaigning in the interests ol this movement and is know ar ranging with the Slate officials of inch cotton producing State to s.nd lecturers into the field to impress the importance of ntaudiug firm in Ihis movement. Watch for the dates and rally ev ery farmer, business man. banker, in fact everybody. tiet busy among your farmer friends and have them join the I'nioii, the business world as being aide to cope with the situation. Surely no Southern farmer worth the dignity of being called a produc er can willfully withhold his membership from the organiza tion which means the betterment of his present fiances and the fu- t;i-, jiv,t I'i't Mil! nj Ills I'ome. Arranged! nts have been prac tically made for the assembling of millions of dollars to finance those who are competed to have assistance iu this movement, ami needs only the support of the producers themselves to insure success. Hut bear this iu mind, determination if a bigger asset in this struggle than finances. A large number of you will not need assistance, and those who do. should be urged to borrow as lit tle as possible. See to it 1 1 111 II III) merchant nor banker to whom you may be obligated, is made to suffer by the stand you take. This organization does not pro pose to teach its members to en ter this campaign at a sacrifice of honesty, and we believe that its membership is composed of men who would not do such a thing, even if urged. The money secured will be used to assist local bankers and will be circulated through the local banks. With the support of the entire South it will not be dif ficult for you Pi satisfy your el editors. Comet Visible. lhe Charlotte Okserver intonns its readers that Hrook's comet, the newly discovered heavenly wonder, is now visible to the na ked eye. It is not a stupendous, flaming body flashing through the skies, but is distinctly visi ble and is receiving great atten tion from astronomers. The com et is moving rapidly in a north westerly direction. It is now vis ible iu the constellation of Ce phus, which at !l o'clock in the evening is visible in the north western skv. Craven county recently voted to establish a farm life school and is the only county that has done so. Others have made a pass aud either backed out or vo ted down the proposition. The Craven county school is to be lo cated at Vaneeboro, which town has given !2 acres of land and $10,000 in bonds to secure the site. Crowd Jeers Another Mas to Lis Death. Hayt. m il.. Sept. 22.

The machine wrecked ly the impact ami debris, was hurled hundreds of feet in all directions. what remained of the machine and its driver burning almost to a crisp as they droppul rapidly to the earth. In a short flight shortly after noon today Miller's machine act ed unsteadily and be did not care to go up. The crowd jeered him th.s aft ernoon when he said lie w u!d not make a flight and this even ing he went into the air. "Let her go; I'll be gU'd when this is over," he shouted to h's mechanieaiis.

While cotton has been going down on the hi lit f that a big crop has been made, tiler;, is no such reason for the price of seed to be so low. Thi re is a big movement for the purimse of holding cotton for better prices, and this is well. Put nothing has been said about seed. The s'ed has become a big part of the crop. Now, the indications are that tlu-re will he a greater de mand for the cotton seed pro duets this war ihan ever before. The food crops of the "oiintr.v are short and in eoiiseipience the de mand for cattle f od is going to be greater than ever. Not only this, but the ii--c of the seed pro ducts as a human food is growing daily. If the xople who are in control of the cotton seed mar ket in the South were able to pay fifty cents per bushel for seed last year they are able to pay more than thirty now. The farmers ought to get busy on the seed proposition before their seed are in somcl-odv else's hands New York Stock Dealer Here. Mr. Miles J. Peek of Cortland. N.
