Yntered at ths Potto'fic as second clt&j matter
HOG AND HOMINY.
The Kinston Fiikk Pkkss applaud
the farmers of OrmondsTtlle, Greene
-fount r. for laying their plans to make
enough cotton to d'-rray all their ex
jnses, so that their tobusco crop will
h clear money, and suggests that it
wevild rv letter for them to raise a
i?tfl"lfoCT of supplies.
The improved price of farm product
hould cauae every farmer to get uon
the safest basis of agriculture. Meat,
rf?s, poultry, truck- these are all
brfnarioir better prlts even than col-
Ura at the prevailing hijfh prices. The
only true policy for farmers is to raise
all their supplies so the v "can live at
home and board at the same place."
and then to raise as much cotton and
other money crops as they can. The
outlook is that cotton will bring food
prices next year. As to tobacco, it all
depends upon the tobacco trust. It will
never pay decent prices until the far
mers brintf them dangerously near a
tobacco famine.
"Hog and hominy" fanners are the
most prosperous, year in and year out.
They can live in spite of tobacco trusts
and low cotton. They can also best
take advantage of the increase in pri
ces, for they are generally free from
the mortgage, the boll -weevil, the to
bacco worm and the other enemies of
agriculture.- News and bserver.
It cannot be impress'! upon farmers
too forcibly that cotton and especially
tobacco are largely speculative crops.
Sometimes the farmer "strikes it rich. "
and frequently he does not. As the
News and Observer suggests "hog and
hominy" Is the safe basis, while the
otner products are legitimate side is

Mr. W. J. Bryan announces that
during the week of the National I)em

St. Ixuis a daily edition of his paper,

that Mr. Wra, It. Hearst will some time
prior to the convention found, 'publish

Senator Morgan baa introduced a
bill providing for the annexation of

appropriates $10,000,000 for the pur
chase of the property of the new Pan
ama eanal company from Colombia.
Senator Hanna is distinctly worried
because of the suspicion with which he
is held in administration circles. Par
ticularly is he irritated over the panic
caused by the fact that he did not issue
the call for the national conrention as
con as they expected. He issued the
call in plenty time, but because be did
not issue it immediately, the adminis

thousands of years, and is as old as the
PYRAMIDS AN
"blighting curse has been handed down from nation to
nation and from individual to individual till it has
spread to all parts of the world.
Contagious blood poison, as it is called in modern
times, begins with a small sore or ulcer through which
the virus enters the. blood. This Is followed by inflam
mation and swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breaks out
on the body, sores appear in the month and the throat becomes ulcerated, and
as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly
infected, the hair and eyebrows drop out, the skin is spotted with copper-colored
splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it seems to the victim of
this monster scourge there is not a sound spot in th whole body.
The horror of this awful disease
can never be told. The one who con
tracts it suffers in body and mind,
and if the poison is not eradicated
transmits the taint to his children,
and Contagious Blood Poison thus
becomes responsible for many of the

radical and safe cure for Contagious
Hlood Poison. It counteracts the
deadly virus and cleanses and puri

poison are gone. The strong mineral
