The State Hoard of Agriculture has adopted for use in the publis schools in the State a text-book on agricul ture written by I'rof.

Haywood Bailed by His Friend Judge Douglas. After about a week examining wit nesses on both sides in the Ernest Haywood case for the murder of Ludlow Skinner, in Raleigh, before Judges Douglas and Walker, Hay wood was released on a bond of $10, 000. TUIC DKCISIOX. North Carolina, Wake County, In the matter of Ernest Haywood, Petitioner. This is an application for bail upon the return of a writ of habeas corpus heretofore issued by me at the in stance of the petitioner. The State was represented by Solicitor Walter E. Daniel and associate counsel and the defendant by his counsel. Judge Walker, at my request, sat with me. After a careful consideration of all the testimony and argument of coun sel, we are of the opinion that, as the case Is presented to us, under the rule laid down In State vs. Herndon, j 17, N. C.,i:U, the petitioner Is entitled to ball. It is therefore ordered and adjudg ed that the petitioner, Ernest Hay wood, give bond with good and suf ficient sureties in the sum of $10,000 conditioned as required by law for his appearance at the next term of the Superior Court of the county of Wake to ansvTer the indictment now pending against him, and upon ap proval of the said bond by me or by the Clerk of the Superior Court of said county, the Sheriff will release the prisoner from custody. It Is further adjudged that the costs of the State in this proceeding be paid by the county of Wake and that the petitioner pay his own costs, the said costs to be taxed by the Clerk of the Superior Court of said county, in cluding the usual fees of the oliieers. R. M. DOUGLAS, Justice of the Supreme Court of N. C. June 3rd, 15)03. The bond was really for 7.",000. The bondsmen were Alfred W.

Ferrall and W. Z. Rlack, $10,000 each. It required only 2" minutes to read the decision and give the bond. As soon as the decis ion was rendered several persons gathered around the defendant and shook hands with him, and many more did so after the bond had been prepared and the judge had directed the Sheriff to release him. In a min ute or two more Haywood, accom panied by his brothers, walked to a carriage In front of the court house and was then driven, along quiet streets, to his home on Newbem av enue. Warning.

A man who makes a bad buggy or who builds a poor house, scratches a poor farm, or does anything badly he makes us all poorer. He pulls down the level of our life. The only substance that most men have Is their labor. It is the most precious substance that anybody can have the best gift of God. The man that wastes his labor throws his own life away, and he wastes the time and degrades the standard of all other men who have to do with him. Every Inefficient man is a burden on the State. On the other hand a man who does a thing well makes a buggy, builds a house, preaches a sermon, or tills an acre he is the wise man and the only wise man, and the only useful man in the State. He is saved he saves himself he Is the only man worth saving. He saves the community. He Is the only man that makes the community worth living in. Our history has been but a fleeting chapter of men's first deeds in a wil derness. The one stable thing the one lasting thing that we know in all God's universe is the soil that we stand on.

Gentlemen : In September, 1899, I took rheumatism in a very bad form. In a month after the disease started I had to give up my work and go to bed. It continued to trrow worse until my arms and hands were badly drawn, so much so that I could not use them. My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death many times over. Was treated by six different physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marion, but none of them could do me any jrood, until Dr. J. P. Ewinfr, of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your " Rheumacidb." He got me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it and before the first bottle was used up I began to get better. I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard "Rheumacidb" aa by far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cannot say too much for it. I have recommended it to others since and it has cured them. wh say further, that I began to walk in about six days after I began to take Rhkumacide," with the aid of crutches ; in about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, and went back to work again.
