THE DAILY FREE PRESS Entered at P, ). as second class mall matter. Published ky THE KINST N FREE PRESS PUB. CO. W. S. HKRBERT, Editor. WOROS OF WISDOM. The Wilson Times contains the following excellent advice, in which The Post most earnestly joins. If our farmers will but fol low such, their condition will surely improve from year to year. Says The Times: "Cotton is going up a little. But we hope this will not cause our farmers to plant heavily of that crop, for the chances are the price will be lower next fall. The fanners of the south seem deter mined to plant for about twelve million bales and they can't ex pect much oi a price as long as they raise that amount, when it only requires about eight million bales to supply the world during the depressed financial condition of the prople. So live at home as much as possible, raise plenty of Corn, meat nd small grain, cut your cotton acreage one-half. Bet ter let your lands lie out than wear Out lands, teams and yourselves making ctton that costs six cents to sell at four " Two statements have been made recently that surprised us. One is that our people have not as many hogs in 1898 as they had in 1860, while our population has very ' nearly doubled; and the second, that the people of our eastern counties, specially those near-by Weldon. d not raise corn enough for home consumption. This policy is simplv ruinous. It will cer tainly ruin the small farmers, sueh as raise only from two or three to ten or twenty bales of cotton. As The Times suggests, a twelve mil lion bale crop or larger seems to be the fixed purpose ofthe fanners. This necessaril y means low prices for the s'aple and no legislation on earth will help it. Then to have to buy with this money the fo6d stuffs for the farm the family as well as the beasts -is suicidal. It is not too late to sow grain in this section. We unite with our con contemporaries in urging ' these matters upon the present attention of our farmers. -r-Kaleigh Post. Former rarllamentarr PrIVtTeffefe The privilege of freedom from arret! enjoyed by member of parliament ( confined to civil matters; bat, sinoe the abolition of imprisonment for debt, this immunity has been shorn of most of its utility. Formerly it was a verj useful privilege. Disraeli says of one of (be j characters in bis first novel, "Vivian Grey," that "the only way to keep him cut of the house of correction was to get bim into the bouse of commons.' Parliament was then a convenient baven of refuge for "splendid paupers." In one rase an English member named Mills, who owed 28,000 and for whose arrest a warrant was in the hands of the sheriff, avoided Imprisonment by purchasing a seat for one of the old "rotten boroughs" in 1807 for the 10m of 1,000. In another case an Irishman named Bourke was confined in the King,ftJBenohprisonaboot 70 years ago in execution for a considerable debt His friends got bim elected for an Irish constituency, but be never entered the bouse. On bis release after election he fled to the continent and remained 1 there. Again in 1825 the year before Dis raeli published "Vivian Grey," a man who was in prison for debt was returned for Bererley, a small English borough, and was forthwith released on a war rant issued by Mr. Speaker. It was a case in real life of from the house of correction to the bouse of commons. Good Words. Mr. T. M. Kmerson, traffic man oger of the Coast line, is quoted as opposing a law to provide separate cars for the races. He says only occasionally does a negro .ride in first-class cars. for the past year or so especially, are that a great many negroes ride in first-class cars. Sometimes there are more negroes than whites in the first-class cars. BiMtiuy Uu.;alo Bill. A rather ' good story is told about Bishop Donne and another member of the Episcopal bouse of bishops from the middle states, who is fond of a joke, as many of the venerable gentlemen of the cburcb are. Bishop Doaue addresses bis colleagues with whom be is on especial ly familiar terms by the name of tbeir 'diocese instead of by their surnames, and in correspondence frequently makes nee of his own and other titles, relates the Washington Times. - It is related that on one occasion be wroto a letter to the other bishop refer' red to and .in feigning it nsed the term " William of Albany" instead of his name. Hie correspondent promptly re- plied to the letter, and in bis answer said: . "It is really too bad, bishop, that you. are no., cf the western diocese ol jyour state instead of Albany. If yon 'were, you might very appropriately 'Sign yourself 'Buffalo BilL' " A Strong ComblaatfM j . ..- ..t . I. ' - . . - . . A . .

The Flanking; Movement. No battle plana have been more gen rally used than the flanging move ments intended to overwhelm one end of an opponent's fighting line, to the great and probably fatal weakening of the rest of bis position. The Oonfeder ates nsed these tactics in their most sue cessful battles of the civil war, and it is worthy of notice that their attacks wbiob were particularly daring and successful were almost invariably made against the Federal right wing. The troubles peculiar to that unlncky part of the northern armies bf ;ian at Bull IxUii, and continued, east and west, for over two years. At that battle the Federal right wing made a cell planned movement against the Confederate left. Both sides fought well for new trocj s, "Stonewall "' Jackson earning his battle name by the reeistriuoe be and bis men made to tbe attack against them, but the Federals had gaiuud ground and were still hdvanoing, when fresh Con -federatA frrrps full nn t.hf rfPiniflntB at the right end of their liue of battle.

A medical scientist is authority for the statement that children and eld people especially suffer from a lack of lime in tbe system. Persons who habit nally drink soft water, while tbey may enjoy immunity from certain of the ills of life, expose themselves to others per haps quite as much to be avoided. Hard water helps the teeth and tbe bones by furnishing lime, which is necessary to Health, growth and development. . Old persons who drink but little lose tbeir teeth more quickly than those who take a reasonable amount of drinking water. Lime, or food products in which it abounds,-should be a part of the xecu lar supply furnished to the V system. One of the most valuable vegetables for this purpose is the yellow turnip or rata baga, which should be given to growing children at least once a week. Properly prepared, it is very relishabJe and its food value baa never been appre ciated. . She Thought She Did.

Advertising is tbe Keystone to Success. Barnum. . ' These are the days when the man who - does a successful business must realize the full scope and significance of the great verb, 'hustle." You must Jtustle if you do any business. Every man who has. a dollar wants his money's worth before he lets it go.' The man who has bargains to offer, must let the fact be known. If you have anything special to offer advertise the fact, else the people will never know it. As a medium for reaching th people--the money-spending classes Tmi Free Press is the baper par excellent. It reaches the homes of the people throughout this and adjoining counties, and is . read by everybody. An advertisement in its columns will prove a paying investment.
