Writer la the Greensboro News says
it Is time, the Japanese question was
being amicably discussed. Why, that's
whatj President Wilson aad Secretary
Bryan have been doing to it all the time.
(Now 'that the Japanese war-scare
has about blown over it is time to get
interested again in the question as
to whether Col. "Aus" Watts is going
to be able to manage to land that col
kctorship.
We have heard it norated around
in times past that Joscphus Daniels was
a man without physical courage. Still
we have no doubt that many of his
detractors would have refused to ac
company him on the air voyage that
he took the other day. Josephus is
vindicating himself all 'round these
days. He is fully equal to his job.
Postmaster Basnight is to be con
gratulated on his success in securing
the consent of the Postoffice Depart
ment to Dut on a night clerk here
The installation of this service wi
meet a long felt want. Heretofore
in order to get mail off on the night
trains it has been necessary to get it
in the office by 9 o'clock at night
This has been very inconvenient in
many cases to business men and they
will welcome the change by which
they wiil have three hours additiona
in which to get important matter into
the mails. The change will be of
great advantage to the Journal also
enabling it to get a much better news
service by mail than ithas been able
to do heretofore.
JAPAN COOLING OFF.
Japanjhas had time to cool off and
is not spoiling for a fight any mor
In fact, as one of its own newspapers
said, it has no doubt, been bluffing to
a certain extent all along. A compar
ison between its state of preparedness
for war and that of the United States
made by the New York World show
that while in size of standing army and
in number of topedo boats Japan is
ahead of the United States, in every
other respect this country has a trc
mendous advantage over Japan. For
one thing the little island kingdom is
so heavily in debt that its borrowing
capacity is practically nil and to Imam
a war with any great power woul
be, the World thinks, a task which
the most daring of Japanese statesmen
would hesitate to undertake. The
World does not say so in so man
words, but it broadly intimates and
no doubt intended for its remarks t
be so construed, that there has bee
in this country's diplomatic brush wit
Japan nothing to justify a raid on th
treasury for the construction of more
dreadnaughts.
Always something doing in the office
seeking line. Four men ia addition to
Senator Overman are said to be after
the berth now being occupied by that
Senator. It would tie refreshing to see
pome big job go begging but rt-obsh'v

Republican S tutors are said to
have sharply criticised President Wit
so because be has taken a hand in the
Senatorial fight in Maryland where Mr.
Marbury, a man of the Wilson type,
Is seeking to succeed ia the Senate John
Walter Smith, who seem to be some
what after the fasiohn of the Jim Smith
who hap been Wilson's inveterate foe
irKfW-JeVseypoHtir. But why should
.the Republicans take umbrage because
of Wilson's getting into s fight within

f BETTER HANDLING OF COTTON.'

I i. --- -i-. A. - .L - ...V
nab seui uui a aiuienicui. uu lire suu
ject, "The Uplift in Cotton Handling"
that should make very helpful and time
ly reading in the South. Nobody who
has observed the condition in which
cotton is often sent to market can have
failed to be impressed with the care
lessness which is sometimes displayed
in connection with it.
It is more the rule than the exception
to leave it exposed to the rain and some
times it is left for days, or perhaps weeks,
partially embedded in dirt. Some idea
of how costly such carelessness is may
be had from the fact that government
experts claim that of the cotton crop
in the United States there is between
the gin and the spinner a wastage and
damage amounting to fifty millions
of dollars per annum and while the
proportion which wastage bears to
damage is not given it isjdoubtless safe to
assume that a considerable part of
the loss mentioned is due to the lack of
proper protection for the staple after
it is ginned and baled.
Trans-Atlantic steamship lines and
railroads made have rules which will
make necessary cleaner and neater
cotton Every effort is being made
with compressors, cotton ginners, farm
ers and shippers to bring about the
reform so much needed and the rait-
way bureau well says that when those
concerned in cotton growing and ship
ping find that shiftlessness reacts their
bpocket ooks it is probable that i
better order of things will come about

DFAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
ty Iocs! applies ions, as they csnnet
roa-h the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional rsmtdies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it in en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored te its
normal condition, hearing will be .de
stroyed forever: nine cases out ' ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
su if sees.
