More than 81 per cent of the inhabitants listed as eligible to vote.

With the pro duction of a million bales this State i assumes the undreamed of rank*"of ; second in the production of cotton among the States of the Union. The I forecast production for North Caro lina is 70 as against 22 to 53 in other ! large cotton producing States. Our i cotton crop, with the seed, will be I worth more than $150,000,000. and i this in the face of the fact that nearly nalf the counties of the State produce I little or no cotton. How Observant Are Yon? Among the advertising pages of the Sat urday Evening Post, and other magazines, you frequently hnd pictures of kitchens. It might be in an advertisement of kitchen ware, or soap, or a congoleum rug. But whatever it is, do you observe that the kitchen range is ahvays a gas range? Just took carefully at future advertise ments of this kind and you will realize that the gas range is a necessity in every well furnished kitchen. Housewives are using gas for cooking the year round now a days. They are too busy to bother with any other method. Furthermore, they get better results, with less effort and loss of time, on a gas range than on the kind their grandmothers had to use. If you haven't a gas range, there is no ex cuse for your not phoning now for uslo put one in. Southern Cas improvement Company G. V. JH3KIXS. Mtrr. "They say that Gas Can Do It Better."
