Ferdinand Penny Earle the artist, who sent his wife to France, her old home i to secure a divorce so that he might marry another woman, received a sorry welcome when he returned to his home in Monroe, N.

Earle was met by a crowd villagers as he stepped from the train, who at first,; insulted and hooted him and then pulled him from his carriage and dragged him through the mud on the village streets. ' HIS MOTHER'S PICTVII Boy Who Disobeyed Order te Save it Praised by Dewey. The following story of Admiral Dewey is told by one of the sailors who returned on Raleigh: Just be fore the battle of Manilia, when the order was given to strip for action, the smallest powder boy on the flag ship accidently dropped his coat over board. He asked permission to jump after it, but was refused. He went to the side of the ship dropped over board, recovered his coat, and was promptly arrested for disobedience. Admiral Dewey spoke kindly to the youngster, who broke down and said that the coat contained his mother's picture which he had just kissed, and he could not bear to see it lost. Dewey's eyes filled with tears and he fairly embraced the boy and or dered him released, saying "A boy who loves his mother enough to risk his life for her picture cannot be left in irons on this fleet." About three thousand pieces of crockery are broken each trip of a first-class ocean liner.

' IshaiTl Jordan TkePeaaatkalht(d. - Professor E. M. Jaffar, of Califor nia, makes the statement that "in ten cents worth of peanuts there is twice the protein and six times the energy contained .in a large porterhouse steak,' He says his experiments were most exhaustive. His experiments and observations are to be embodied in a bulletin to be issued, by the. govern ment. ' V!;; ' - The peanut is the' particular and special crop of North Carolina and Virginia, or rather pf twenty coun ties in these two -fjiates where they grow to perfection. It is the big crop of these counties and they know the value of the nut that cheers alke the baseball rooter and the legislator. But they had not known that "in ten cents worth of peanuts there is twice the protein and six times the energy con tained in a porterhouse steak." This information comes at a peculiarlp ap propriate time. The beef trust has put up the prices of porterhouse steak to such a figure that none but the wealthy can afford its most succulent cuts. But "ten cents worth of pea nuts" we can all afford to eat them and when we know we are getting from them "twice the proetin and six times the energy contained in a por terhouse steak" we may look to see us refer to the humble nut as Sir Pea nut and see the nabobs and nobility bow down to this North Carolina pro duct. Years ago the Sultan of Turkey gave testimony to the delights af forded him by Blackwell's Durham Bull Tobacco, We will soon see or ders pour in for peanuts while the de mand for "porterhouse steak" . falls off until the trust cannot dispose of its supply. Iri addition to giving more protein and more energy, the advantage of the peanut over , the porterhouse steak is further seen in the matter of transportation. You cannot ship porterhouse steak except in refrigerator cars, and in' cold storage. But you can send peanuts to to the ends of the world in cotton or jute bags, and their coation of shell preserves their sweetness, protein and energy in the hottest or the coldest climate. The day was when the word Meth odist was a term of derision used to FOR THE AT THE nipf mm I0-l) Crute, The Proprietors, describe the manners and ways of Wesley and Whitfield. It is now a term of honer of a great religious denomination. "Tar-heel" was used as an appellation to ridicule the North Carolinian. We now hold it as a title of distinction. A "peanut politician" has been applied to petty or unworthy public men. But, if the peanut shoves aside the porter house steak, we shall have the term "Peanut politician" to be synonym ous with "statesman of the highest school of statesmanship."" Who know? Stranger things have happened. The peanut now has the endorse ment of the distinguished professor and the eminent bishop, and is des tined to come into its own. Let us increase the acreage next year and widely advertise that ten cents worth of peanuts will give twice as much protein and six times as much energy as porterhouse steak. News and Observer. The Price For Picking Cotton. It is not the object of this article to try to set the price to be paid for picking ; cotton this fall but to call attention to some important things in connection with it. In the first place we will say that while the crop is not as large as usual it will take two months.at least and probably longer to house it. It cannot be done in a day nor a week or two no mat ter how high the price of cotton goes nor how high the price for picking ranges nor how great a hurry into which some farmers get. High prices for picking do not make one hand more or less. Last fall many farmers gave a price for picking which amounted to one fourth of the crop. Others gave as much as a third. We do not think the pick ers ought to run the price up out of reason because there are few to do the work. On the other hand we do not. think farmers should cut the price too low just because there is but little cotton to pick in a neigh borhood. A "live and let live" price should be adopted and adhered to. This would be just to all parties con cerned. Everybody should be wil ling to see right prevail in a ques tion of labor as well as anywhere. 3 HIGH DOLLAR nflKfl Uu L uu Li Lrtf MT, N. On Tobacco Business LATEST STATE NEWS.
