The rain sounded more re freshing as it battered on the tin roof and the intermittent panorama of dis tant hills as revealed by occasional flashes of lightning gave cheering oc ular assurance as to the thoroughness of the rain. The section of Cabarrus immediately around -Coneord had been more greatly in need of rain than any other part of the State. The rain which last night cheered the 'waiting passengers, gave out at the Mecklenburg line, at least the train ran out of it there and Charlotte was found as dry as a dust pan. However, there is ome moisture in the air, and the indications are that there will be no more serious suffering from dry weather. Cotton and corn is in fine condition. Even one rainy day this week will bring out these crops won- derfully. ' Toting Tsnnesse Senator Gives Up .Ouart of His Blood,. .

Aa result of unofficial ' information reaching Washington from Tokio in the last few days, tb attention of the State Department baa been turned on .the activities of Japan in carrying out what aeemea to b a "divine policy" of expansion u tb Philippines and Sooih Amereia. It is learend from Tokio that the Japanese Government, whieb directs all emigration, movements, has de cided to ponr her 'eitixena in upon the Philippines. . One hundred and fifty will be aent by each steamer to Manila, according to the present plan, In the past they have received a chilly reception, especially from the native Piliptnea, who dislike them intensely. ' The word has gone forth in Tokio that passports will be freely issued to subjects of the Mikado desiring to try their fortune in South American coun tries.

For several years rumors have been current of a movement 4o consolidate ten or more of ihe largest furniture manufacturing plants in the Piedmont section, the towns included being Winston-Salem, High Point and Mt. Airy. The High Point Enterprise has this Story : 1 "The Enterprise never has any in clination to dip into private matters unless the public jjseoneerned. We have known for" some, time 4hat about ten furniture factories here and elsewhere were discussing. tb advisa bility of organizing a new company bttyinrput these ten factories. In cotton mill circles they would call it a merger. Some time ago there was a preliminary meeting to talk over the matter and subsequently there waa a signed agree ment to have a future meeting to hear reports, discuss still further the plans suggested. This meeting will be held some time next week. This is all 4hat has been done np to this time and is best for all that a plain state ment of facts be given. "The Enterprise is not in posses sion of a complete list of the factories named in connection with the new plan .but tbey embrace some of the largest furniture factories here and Mt. A-ry and Winston. This is nvaliiia1t tliA aitnat inn t ttita 1 1 ma Teaching Monkeys to Pick Cotton. An attempt is to be made in Fulton county, Ga., French cotton experts to teach monkeys to pick cotton. If 'the experiment succeeds a colony of mon keys will to imported and put to work. The idea was suggested by tb an tics ot a pet chimpanzee carried by a farmer boy into 4b fields. The lutle animal after frisking around for time and watching the .negroes at work, began of its own accord to pick the cotton with almost incredible ra;- idity. Animal trainers find it very easy to teach monkeys to perform any manual trick or labor. By utilising monkey labor the cost of cotton harvesting would be infinitely less than with hu man labor. v Futils 8trik at Spencer. Spencer, Jane 19.
