Greensboro, Jan 2C The census fig' area shows the ginning to be 12,166,000 bales. The "into light" to riate is 1, 600,000 ahead of last year and 650,000 ahead of the biggest on record. If the tail of this crop should be as broad as the big crop year the yield will exceed 14,000,000 bales, but most people are of the opinion that the countiy stocks are relatively small,; and ; expect a sharp falling off after Mtrch 1st. It is hard to believe however that thia crop will be under 131 million and this is enough. Prices do not change much except the low grades are somewhat cheaper and the high grades somewhat dearer. The inquiry and demand for low grades is increasing as they sell at very attractive prices when compared with white cotton' and mills that 'can use them are certainly wise to make the change. The demand from all sec tions seem to be smaller than hereto fore indicai"g that spinners are not quite so hungry as they were. The next crop futures are up twenty-five points while the summer months are about un changed. ." I thtuk October futures will sell fifty points over July. ' Sarah's mother wants to tee you.

THE VJLLABE BIT THE SEA The Attractions Held (hit to Prospective Investors by Swansbot'o. Many years have corns and gone, em bracing much talk and prophecy, that sooner or later this place would become one of most desireabte locations on the Eastern Coast of NortK Carolina. Its naturnal situation is ( second to none between Sandy Hook and Florida, but for lack of development it would ere this been one of the most progressive towns in the State, bekg as it were cut off from the world for lack of trans portation. But the world d ) move and these heretofore existing tnvironments are being cleared away by greater possibilities. Within fivo years twenty residences, gnod comfortable homes, have been built and still more building. Has now about five hundred inhabitants and still increasing the main features to accomplish this was the building of a railroad. This is now being; done and extends directly front Swansboro to the Atlantic Coast Line, connecting with same near White Oak station. The right of way is about cut through the whole distance about fourteen miles and is nearly graded, ready for ties and rails This rail road is of stand ard guage which will : accomodate all ciassss of trains known to the Rail Road busihess. , About one hundred hands are now working daily on its construction and .the projectors are pushing it to rapid completion and will be ready fjr operation this summer about June. " We pause here and look to other developments Yd " folio W." This will now , demand other dontingences viz: a hotel an ice bouse fish packiug oyster industry a 1 ank possibly a news paper and last but not least the truck ing industry, land now not cultivated and much not cleared is susceptible to all kinds of vegetation the finest in the whole county and two weeks earlier than New Bern. The hotel matter is now i tereating everybody and many want to subscribe to its construction, next we mention a graded school no better location can be found, healthy and good water to be obtained. The rail road is now materializing and is an established fact, could mention much more but to investors for business on any line and pleasure seokers this is the opportunity as a nnnr summer resort is not to be found. Accomodation cannot be found here now for the people come and go and for want of some where to stop. Winter or Summer a hotel would handsomely pay. Enough to say come to Swansboro and get in the swim or get left . Real Estate is now advanced here and now is the time to strike.

Special to Journal. senate: Raleigh, Jan 26 In the Senate Sena tor Graham read the following letter from Mrs. Stonewall Jackson of Char lotte regarding the bill introduced pro viding $100 pension for her: "1 most heartily appreciate this loyal tribute to the name of my husband and tender my heartfelt thanks for the pre ferred honor and benefit, but do not feel that I would be justified in accpt ing it. I am informed that the law in North Carolina limits all pensions to those who have not $500 tf personal oroperty and as I do not come under this law I respectfully request that the bill be withdrawn. 1 would also sug gest that the pension which has be?nso magnanimously proposed in my behalf be appropriated to the relief of the destitute widows of Confederate Vete rans. It would also please me far more to see our honorable legislature take measures for a Reformatory for the good of the State." Remarks were most feelijigly mad by Senator Lovill, a Confederate Veteran and it was or dered that the letter be made part of the journal, as breathing so noble a spirit and being a valuable contribution to history. Bills were introduced to validate mar riages heretofore solsmnized by unau thorized ministers.. To enlarge the capital and provide quarters for the Supreme Court, State Library and State officers. Bills passed appropriating $20,000 ad ditional to the Jamestown exposition.

Editor Journal: An Impression prevails among the voters of this city that another election can oe neia on ma uquur quenuun '- in two years or at any time within 90 days of the next city election. This is not correct Under section 2069 oi the j RevUJ of lm M electlonon the liquor question in any form can be held within two years from the election on Febru ary 5th and then not within ninety days of the city election in 1909, so that no election can be held sooner than about August 19U9., After the election on next Tuesday either prohibition or the dispensary will be in force in' this city for two years at least LAWYER, icicles ON WHISKERS Frigid Weather Has Tendency To Put Them There. Comparison of Cold i Waves 'Lest we forget ' about former cold i fjjuiib e ueueve ii win oe oi interest : to reproduce comments of the Journal) on the weather in 1905 and 1906. The following item appeared in the issue of January 27, 1905. The cold wave continued yesterday, the weather of the morning being rather severer than that of th? day be fore, but it moderated during the day. The lowest temperature was 19 de grees while that of the ()ay before was 23 degrees. Three Lays Later: Yesterday morning the Trent river was covered with ice from shore to shore. It varied in thickness from one half inch to four inches, and a large number of fish were found frozen in the ice. In the vicinity of the Trent bridge several men were seen in boats breaking through the ice and taking the imprisoned fish! A pond of small dimensions near Big Hill's store was frozen so that it would bear peoule and a few skated on it. Wherever the water flowed out of hyd rants or of taps, ice had formed to several inches thickness. The climax of ths unpleasantness oc curred Friday morning when the mer cury got down to 12 degrees the cold est weather for several years. The yacht Lulu, Capt. L. B. Mid- yette, is ice bound in Broad Creek, three miles from the Neuae. She is well stocked with provisions and has a fine cargo of striped bass. MOST REMARKABLE WEATHER. 1906: The Journal has, in years gone past, made a record of weather when there was any unusual temperature, either high or low to report. It generally happens about this time of year that the low temperature is the natural thing to record and if we should say that we have been getting weather at 20 or 17 degrees we would remark that it is right cold and let it go at that But we have been having extraordinarily warm weather for the past few days and it is well to pote the temperature at this time for future reference" as" such weather is very rare. It was more like March than January. Although it was pleasant and enjoyable it was unseason able and nearly everybody appreciated the change which came yesterday morn ing.

Healing Medication That is Breathed, - , Giving Quick Relief. It seems just as rediculous to put medicine in the stomach to cure a cold in the head or lungs as it does to go out in the rain if we want to keep dry. The fact that many people right here in New Bern cough and hawk and snuf fle for davs and weeks after they treat a cold with the usual stomach dosing, shows how valueless, are the ordinary cough and cold cures.. The right way to cure a cold in the head or a cough and irritation in the throat and lungs, is by breathing Hyo mei's medicated air. Put a tew drops of Hvomei in the neat pocket inhaler thatcomes with every outfit and breathe . thig healing air for a few times and im- mediatw relief will be noted The mod cati0n goes right to the spot where the digeaae germs are located and renders them hwmleM ta the futuM, At the same time the soothing and ' healing effects of Hyomei on the irrita ted mucous membrane give quick relief, and the cough or cold is broken up. The best evidence of the great value of Hvomei in curing coughs, colds and Bll bronchial troubles is the fact that F, S. Duffy gives an absolute guaran- ieew it i ev r nu in no ens, nun. u it does imtai.e ai.Ufaction, the money wiH be refunded. - x complete Hyomei outfit consisting b( a bottle of Hyomei, the inhaler and medicine dropper, costs but $1, while extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can be obtained for only 50 cents. , h- ' I ,lu healthful, wholesome. forone as the other.
