number of unopened bolls is now
small. Gathering corn has now
commenced; late planted did not
mature very well. Pulling fod
der is now over except in the west;
arge quantities of hay were saved,
and the dry weather was favorable
for cutting and curing tobacco;
considerable quantities of tobacco
remain uncut in the northwestern

crop will be housed by the end of

are ready for market; late sown
have a very poor' stand. and much
re-seeding will be necessary. Dig
ging peanuts is advancing slowly

Sweet potatoes appear to be gen
erally excellent. Peas, fall Irish
potatoes and late cabbage have
been damaged by drought and
need rain. The golden color of
early rice indicates that the crop
is ready for harvest. Small
amounts of winter wheat, oats and

much delayed. "

The strange case of Lucy Young
the colored girl who, the wor
shippers at 4 'Baby Zion" church
believe, was "stricken by the
Lord" while at the mourners'
bench, continues in its mystery at
the church, and the sessions of the
protracted meeting still in : prog
ress have full houses of the faith
ful. - ' -j
Lucy went to the altar on the
night of September 1, and while
in a devout attitude she - suddenly
fclljpyex.and all efforts to aid- her
in "coming to" failed. he was
removed to a house- near by,
where she remained for a week in
a state, of semi-consciousness, and
it was then decided to take her
back to the church and ' "camp"
with her. This was done .and the
girl's resounding prayers at inter
vals arouse to the keenest pitch
he emotions of the congregations.
The girl lies on a pallet spread
in a corner of the floor near the
pulpit, and she is, closely covered
with a quilt ahd the weight of a
heavy ulster. She has not par
taken of solid food since she was
'stricken." Her only expressed
desire is for water. Attempts
liave been made to - have her
drink milk,, but she turns from
it, and, though some of the fluid
has been given her, the diet for
ourteen days has been almost en
tirely of water. A physician was
called in by the watchers and his
opinion was that the girl was all
right arid'no medicine was given.
"Baby Zion" is a mission of
Zion church on College street, and
its membership is stirred to the
depths over Lucy's "manifesta-
ions," and say the case is a warn
ing for the people to "get right."

THAT IS THE QUESTION TO
ASK YOURSELF.
You want a piano and have
needed one for some time. You
have put off buying one from
spring to fall and from fall to
spring for. the past two years.
You now have a chance to buy a
strictly high grade piano at factory
price and save at. least $100 by do
ing so, lhe question is, can you
afford to let this opportunity go
by without taking advantage of it.
These pianos can not be sold in the
U. S. for this money. We get
them in carload lots,Jiot only to
supply our branch bouses, but for
these special sales. We can afford
o sell (20) pianos in one week at a
profit of $10 each and then make
$200, while a dealer who sells one
piano a week at an expense of $50
must make at least $50 more for
himself and thus the man who
buys pays a profit of $100.
Dont wait until the finest styles
have been sold, but come and so-
ect a piano at once. . We have a
beautiful instrument with all late
improvements at only $174, You
can buy a $450 piano now at only
$317. Our terms are $25 cash and
$10 per month. There are now .
(80) of our pianos in use in the
city of Salisbury. All pianos are
warranted five years by a firm
worth $50,000. Don't miss this
chance of a life time. In Wood
