For a little while it had xne stumped, and then I chanced to recall that you went for a year or so to a technical school and learned a good deal about the use of tools.

Of course such lines are not the same M any two persona in the world; and could I get an Imprint of your thumb and by comparison find that they cor responded, there could then be no fur ther doubt as to your hand being the ne that had rummaged the safe. But this was a difficult thing to do with out arousing your suspicions.. I finally got around it, however, by organising our burglary for the double purpose of getting the print and calling to your attention the probability of your- having lost your card esse in our previous climb.

Vail, President Vail said: "A pension committee has been compiling statistics and analysing existing pen- ion plana for many months.

"The solution of the problem has hot been an easy one,' in view of the large number of employes, their widely diversified occupations ami the large territory over wtych the ays tem extends, together with the heavy expense of the company incident to the inauguration of the pension. However, it it my firm belief that a'l employes identified by yeara of faithful a-.rviee are entitled to some financial protection against the re-easity of retirement, and It is thehpf the Company that this beginning w II extend to a further protection of emp'oyea.

STATE CAPITAL More Needless Controversy Over Date of Meckleuburjr Declara- . tion bt Independence. Raleigh, Mirch 29 h.-With the ap proach of the time for the unveiling of -the tablet by the Mecklenburg county Colonial Dames in the rotunda of the State home, comrtiefnorating the Meck-lenbu-g jpeclaratioo of Independence and i.s iipners, interest in the pnoprie ty of this tablet raised by Charles L VanNoppen, increa-es with very gen eral approval of the a:tion of the State Historical Commission in granting the Colonial Dam?s pemi-sion to place the tab'et in the State house. A promi nent citizen deeply interested and well Informed as to the controversy said, that while the "proofs" of the May 20th declaration may not be sufficient to satisfy some of our "most critical historians' it haa certainly not breo proven that there were no May 20th resolves, and, certainly the proof was considered suffie'ent by the North Car olina General Assembly to accept 'hi proof and enact that "May 20 h, 1775" he inscribed on the Stats Flag; another act making "May 20th a legal holiday and still another act prescribing that May 20th, 1775 be put on the great seal of the State. And if the members of the Stale Historical Commission dis crehted the May 20.h Declar-itfjn, theirs would be merely individual opin ions and it would be improper for them o anogate to themielves the. acting as censors for acts of the General As sembly. Put that if th majority of the people are ever convinced by these agitators against the M iy 20th Oecla ration the (bscrvmg Miy 20th is an er ror, then the G?ndral Asemb'ycan ao point a commission to investigate and decide between May 20 h and May 3 let, at the date of the retolves.

'".', COTTON MARKET PAST WEEK Big Buying and Delayed Crop Pre parations Cause Higher Prices. New York, March 30 Prices have advanced under the stimulus -of a big consumption, strong spot market, a de lay in crop preparaiiou and buying by big people, - Spot intercs's, some large Wall Street operators and at least one wing of the Waldorf-Astoria party have leen buying at tirnes Memphis and New Orleans operators! have also bought From par's of the South come com plaints that crop preparations are over a month late. ' : , .. Spot markets have been almost urn formly strong under the pressure of a good demand. The exports this season are estimated as high as 10,500,000 hales. In no season of the past ha3 the total re idled even the total up to the pr a nt time this season. As for the domestic consumption it is put as high ai 5,250,- 000 bales. Ihe exports and the domes tic consumption are tigurtd by ihe bulls as high as 15,750,000 balej out of a crop of 10,200,000 bales, to say nothing ol the hedges put out against sales of cot ton for some years ahead. Hence the lulls think the gigantic crop is no long er a, thing to be dreaded. The demand for dry goods ia increasing and prices are rising, ihe Lawrence, Mafsl, strike is over. Labor troubles in o her parts of New England are expected o be short-lived. The operators' wages have been recently advanced. Should the strenuous efforts being made t' set- 1 le the English coal air ke prove euccess- ful it will remove one grat cb.Uiiclein the path of ths cotton manufacturing trade. Bulls thir.k it will bo iha signal for a further advance in raw cotton. Ihey think that the great activity in the stook market and the rise in copper to 15 1 2 crntaa pound are significant signs of the times, and that in any ex pane-ion of trad a ths cotton industry U bound to share. The receipts continue large. ' Speculation is Sluggish.. Some large intereata seem to be selling on bulges. Some think, too. that the con sumption is being over-estimated and that the e will be a big visible stock in this country on September 1st. Wall Street bulls oo Thursday sold out fully 50,000 bales, and thejr also sold despite rains of 1 to 3 inches in the Eastern suc tion of the belt where crop preparations are believed to be especially backwaid But the cotton was well taken. Big spot interests are believed to be still bullish. The activity of the stock mar ket half caused some selling out of cot ton in order to go into stocks.

There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking pow ders on the market, viz: 1) Mineral- Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or phes phate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. Jt - is important, from the standpoint of health, to know some thing about.' these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking pow (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, ia made from a kind of clay. This is mixed with diluted oil cf vitriol, and from this so lution a product is obtained Which a'um. Alum ia cheap; coots about two cent a pound, and baking powder with this Mineral-Acid sella from 10 25c a pound. v (2) Bone Acid, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders are the process is fully described in In patents issued to a largo mtnufar.turer of a ph wpbate pswder. The U. S. Pat rnt office report gives a full and exact leseription, but the following xtract ft enough: f "Burned bones, after being grouifr, are put into freshly diluted oil of vitiol and with continual stirring and in the following proportion," tic. From this Bone Acid phosphate bak ing I'owdeis are made; auch powders sell trom 20 to 30 cents a pound. (3) Cream of Tartar exists in all rif e grapes, and flows with the juice when the grapes are pressed, Tbe tartar ia subsequently gathered from the cak boiled with water, and refined when crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate and are procur. d ' It differs In no respect from the foim in which it originally ' existed in the grape. Cream of Tartar then while the most expensive, is the only ingredent thst shout I be used in baking powder to act upon the fo la, as its wholesome nesa ia beyon 1 question. Cream of Tar tar baking powders sell at about 40- to 60 cents a pound. . Such arrThe facts; and everyone, careful of the health of the family, should remember tlis lule: Baking powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a pound are made of Mineral-AciJs; those idling from 20 to30csntsof Bona-Aci.l; and thsc from 40 to 50 cents of Ci ts a tf Ti.rt.ir made from grapsi. LOCAL COTTON i HIGHLY.PRA1SED Messrs Hack burn & Willett Re ceive Letters From Manufact urers Praising Cottou Grotvn j on Their Farms. A few months ago Messrs. Hackburn & Willett of this city, sold to the Gray Manufacturing Company, of Gastonia, N !C. fifteen bales of long at aple cot ton which waa grown on their farm near New Bern. 0ing to the extia fine quality of the cotton, the owne: a received 16 cents per pound for the fif teen bales. The stap'e was so'd thrt' Mr. Thomas L. Craig, uf Gastonia, and the manufacturers have written the following letter to him in regards to what they think of this cotton. ; Gastonia, N. C Mar. SO, 1912. Mr. Thos. L. Craig, Gastonia, N C. . Dear Sir. Relative to the fifteen bates long staple' cotton recently pur chased of you, beg to say that we have found it entirely satisfactory to our needs. On actual test the thread in 43-lJ and 50-2 produced from th 8 stock com- parea favorably with that p oduced from the beat delta Ped r. We 'con ratulite, through yoa. the Messrs Hackburn & Willett, of New Bern, N. Q., on the success of their ef forts in growing long staple cotton. Wi venture the prediction that, if they and the otht rs of our progres-ive farmers, will ray heed to tne matter of seid te-L-ction and proper to'l assimilation, ii a few years they will have established beyoud d jubt the practibility of long fi bre cotton culture under which condi tions will be made possible the keep'np of much of our good Carolina mon? light here in North Carolina. Yours very truly GRAY MANUFACT'NG CO. To show their belief in this varioty ol ed Messrs Hackburn & Willett uil thin season plant thir entire- acreage with this variety. They have about tno hundred busheles of these seed which they will sell to farmer in this section at $1 25 per bushel. There is not the least doubt but that if the farmers would use these seed they could tci-e just as good col ton as that sold by Mes-irs Hackburn & Willett for 18 cts. p ir pound.
