One among the most encourag ing things in farming in the year of 1913 is the very great increase in the corn crop of the State, which is reported far larger than ever be fore. A powerful factor in bring ing this result has been the Boys Corn Club movement which more than anything else has waked the people up to their State's possibili ties as a new member of the corn belt. Senator Overman too Busy. When asked if he had any com ment to make on Mr. Justice's an nouncement of his candidacy for the United States Senate Senator Over man replied that he was too busy now to discuss the matter, but would make his announcement la ter. Such a reply was an exhibi tion of the characteristic wisdom of the Junior Senator Overman from North Carolina. The Senator is a very busy man at Washington. Be sides being a member of several of the most important committees of the Senate he is chairman of the important Lobby Investigation com mittee, which is and has been for several weeks exposing the insidu ous lobby at Washington. Freight Rate Question. Since Corporation Commission and the Freight Traffic managers for the railroads doing interstate carrier service in North Carolina have continued a conference for 3 days at Old Point it is taken to mean that they have reached a definite basis for working out the actual reductions of rates. And in the light of the fact that the cor poration commission went to this conference with the fixed de termination to cut off the negotia tions unless the railroad men came fully to the agreement for a 25 per cent, reduction it isbelieved that the working out of the tables of reduc tions on this basis is actually in progress and that the corporation commission will have such a final compromise to submit to Governor Craig, who is ex officio chairman of the legislative freight rate commission. Interest in Others. The man who is generous enough and thoughtful enough to pause in the midst of his own affairs to show an interest in others and to do what he can to help them on the way may not attach much importance to his act, but it often happens that it is just the touch of human sympathy which is most needed, He would be surprised perhaps at the good that he has unconsciously wrought and to know that what he consider ed only an ordinary deed of kind ness was really the means of carry ing a bit of heaven into some sore ly tired heart. There is a great deal more in life than simply the serving of our own selfish ends. If that were all, our efforts would soon deteriorate into unholy attempts to circumvent our fellowmen in every possible way and to mount on their failures to our own successes. As it is, there is too great a pr oneness for this sort of achievement even now to make life the fair fight it ought to be, but for all that there is still left in the souls of the majority of God's children &n understanding of the deeper significance of life and the part they must play to make worthy of the divine plans for the future. Sign of Prosperity. One editor thinks that the num ber of marriage licenses is a guide to prosperity; the more marriages the more prosperity. He is partly right. People who marry need in come, and a man, especially if he is prudent, has some money saved for the purpose of a ceremony and a bridal tour. On the other hand when the fever of restless love gets into blood, and especially when the matrimonial barometer gets up to blood or fever heat, small attention is paid to finances. At the time of mild insanity, or the delirium of love's intoxication, most people are optimistic. The world seems to be a dream and life like a long, sweet song. Youth lives for the present and is bouyant. It has a sublime audacity of faith. It is more prosaic and also more truthful to take for a business ba rometer the condition of the stock and bond market, the increase or decreased in bank clearings, and the output of iron and steel. These things are real indications of pros perity or the reverse. Mother. A feeling of sadness comes o'er me, as I gaze at the pitiless rain; Once again in mv heart comes a longing for mother and child hood again. In winter the long lonely evenings, she'd wait for me down at the gate; With care her brow always furrow ed when e'er my home-coming was late. How quick it would smooth at my presence and her eyes would brighten with joy; Although I was grown to young manhood, I was always her dear baby boy, And down the long years I remem ber her face framed in silvery hair; Towards the end old age sadly marked it, to me were none other so fair; And now when dark clouds seemd to gather, my sunshine is weak for a while, For back in the past I remember her face with its sweet gentle smile.

Had Tuberculosis of Glands; Now Well If you are a Bufferer from Glandular Tuberculosis, or know of anyone so afflicted, it might be well to investigate this case, where the writer declares after a year of suffering, he found permanent relief and full recovery to health by using Eckman's Alterative, a medicine which has been effective in many cases of Tuberculosis : 257 Laruston St.. Phlla.. Pa. "Gentlemen: In March, 1909, I was taken sick and my doctor pronounced my case 'Tuberculosis in the Glands.' Medical treatment did not help me, and on my doctor's advice, I went to a hos pital to be operated upon, but relief was only temporary. I lost strength, and at times would have cold sweats and fever. In April, 1910, I returned to the hospital, but the continued operations were not benefiting me. "In the meantime, a friend of mine advised Eckman's Alterative, saying it was good for Tuberculosis. The wounds In my neck were still open and in a frightful condition when I started to j take it. After using two bottles, I found I was improving, having gained weight, could eat, and was able to sleep. I continued using it until I was well, which was in November, 1910. Before I took the medicine, 1 had three hemor rhages; since I have been taking it, I have not had any. On November 11, 1910, 1 started to work, and since that time I have not lost one day's work through sickness. I can highly recom mend Eckman's Alterative to anyone who. is suffering from Tuberculosis or Gland Trouble, providing they take It as directed. I will gladly correspond with any party desiring further infor mation of what the medicine did for me." (Sworn affidavit) JOSEPH B. WHITE. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bron chitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs.
