"ones 120 at 7 8-4; 88 at 0 I estimate trlaTthe advance of civilisa tion and progress has now increased the figure to 52,000. Statistics prove that 1,700 people die every year through swallowing things, such as pins, needles, studes, buttons, pieces of bone, unmasttcated meat and false teeth. This is due to hurry. In London alone there are 4,000 street accidents per month. These accidents arise almost entirely from the anxiety of the populace to get there quick. There is no other rea son why cabs, motors, bicycles, carts, train cars and parcel vans should go dashing along, hurling pedestrians t3 right and left, cutting off arms and legs and filling the hospitals with casualty cases. In order to keep up with the de mand, triumphant scienee Is always advising fresh appartus to save time and accelerate speed. Take electricity for example. You frequently read in the papers that somebody has died suddenly through touching a live wire. Doctors all agree that this Is the quickest death ever invented. And as electricity now plays so large a part In modern life it is satisfactory to know that if any of us should happen to come in contact with a live wire there Is no delay. We are hur ried off at top speed. It is quicker and more reliable than chloroform a fact which apparently was not known to the chief actor in this tragedy. "After' chloroforming two cats, a West Mampstead artist killed himself by the same means." We are not told why the deceased artist did it. Probably It was because this age Is In too great a hurry to patronize art. Or It may be that he was so worried by the, danger of being alive and the endless possibilities of being knocked down, blown up. or otherwise cut off by violence, that he chose a safe and easy way out of It. Statistics prove that home is a dan gerous place. Progress and the de sire to equip ourselves with 'conven iences have undermined home with deadly wires and pipes, gas that may explode and boilers that may burst. And, agreeable to tht demand for hurry, houses are now run up by the Jerry builder at Buch speed tnai uiej are capable of coming down with equal celerity. Walls or ceilings may collapse at a moment's notice, chim ney pots mar'crash through the roof, or the flooring subside and launch you hurriedly Into the cellar. Consequent ly It Is proved, by figures that you are a lot safer tn an express train than at home. Manchester (Eng land) Ideas. At Annual Meeting Monday Morning the Winston-Salem Tobacco Board of Trade Old Officers Were Re Elected for Ensuing Year, Begin ning of Tobacco Year Changed From Sept. 1 to August 1 and Report of President Read President Smith's Report a Splendid One and Heard With Much Interest. The annual meeting of the Winston Tobacco Board of Trade was held Monday morning In the city council chamber, there being a very full at tendance of the members. The ses sion was very short, and aside from changing the beginning of the tobacco year from September 1 to August 1 no business of special importance was transacted. Report of President Smith. The report of President Sterling Smith, submitted to the board, was one of the moat intereslln docu ments ever presented to that body. It showed that the market, continues, to thrive and that there has been a good Increase in prices. The report in full is given below: Sales of leaf on the Winston market for the 1907 crop amounted to 17,484, 742 pounds, which brought $1,883, 489.56. an average of $10.76. The monthly sales were as follows: September, 440,983 pounds for $36, 483.23. at an average of $8.27. October, 3,153,644 for pounds, for $354,666.28, at an average of $11.21. November, 2,99.',787 pounds for $289,879.3,' at average of $9.34. December, 2,113,957 pounds for $210,394.22, at average of $9.93. January, 1,771,452 pounds Tor $211, 205.60, at average of $11.92. February, 2.827,792 for $331,236.24. at average of $11.71. March, 2,189,894 for $231,608.51, at average of $11-48. April, 923,797 pounds for $108,529.39, at average of $11.83. May, 323.783 pounds for $37,791.62. at average of $11.60. June, 39.874 pounds for $4,237.77, at iru nf 110 62. July, 17,504 pounds for $1,672.22, at average of $9.53. August, 6S2.275 pounds for $15. 781. S3, at average of $6.71. (Prim Ingsl. ,' . Compared with the 1906 crop this shows a gain in pounds of 2.007.497. oh,,r 15 nr rpnt. and in dollars of $393,380.51, slightly' in excess of 45 per cent, the average price tiii kihr Thp January average was the highest. $11.92, and Septem ber average $8.27, the lowest. Au gust average not Included in thin, as offerings consisted entirely or prim In view of the fact that all the large markets in VirgUrta and North Carolina show a decrease In P""15 sold as compared with the 19 crop this should be Tery gratifying and In STOPPED DRINGING LIQUOR cite us to renewed vigor for 1908. It may interest you to know that the number of pounds sold of the 1904J crop corresponds almost exactly witn 1907, yet the latter brought about half a million dollars more, exact figures being 8608 pounds less of 1907 crop bringing $491,069.36 more...' Sales last month were the largest In Ihe history of the market for Au gust. with single exception of August, 1902, when they slightly exceeded one million pounds, though the average last month was sixty-two cents' per hundred higher Jhan In 1902. Divided itno periods of five years' sales for 20 years past have been as follows: 1888-9269,137,729 pounds for $7, 141,121.61, an average of $10.32. 1893-9775,945,406 pounds for $5, 157,371.75, an average of $6.79. 1898-1902 87,501,873 pounds for $, 676,206.58, an average of $7,62. 1903-0788,611.951 pounds for $7. 575,742.25, an average of $8.54. It will thus be seen that while prices declined from the 5-year period 1888-92, they have steadily gained Bince 1893, the average for the 1907 crop being $2.53 more than the 20 year average and exceeding the high period from 1888-82 by 44 cents per hundred. This association and especially those of our number conducting warehouses should make it a point to impress on the farmer the advan tages to be derived from marketing their tobacco gradually and avoid glutting the market. United action on their part In this, as well as in fhe size of the crop planted, will go far towards securing for them remunera tive prices and a steady market. While reports of the growing xrop are somewhat conflicting, I think it fair to assume, with favorable weath er for next 30 days, we will have a good and useful crop, well suited to requirements of oui) manufacturers and leaf dealers. We start the new year with bright prospects and with no unforeseen calamity should sell over 20,000,000 pounds. I respectfully suggest for your con sideratlon that the tobacco year be gin on August 1 instead of Septem ber 1. This would enable us to de termine more accurately the exact number of pounds sold of each crop, or rather give ample time to sell all of a given crop. In retiring from the presidency I desire to thank you for the honor con ferred in electing me for four succes sive terms. Wishing you one and all a very prosn.-roiis year, I am.

Speaking of the de crease last month on spirits and the Increase on tobacco. Cashier Roberts reniurked to the correspondent of the Charlotte Observer that "They've about stopped drinking liquor ,uid have gone to smoking and chewing to bacco." Last month's report will sound good to the prphtbl06u,l8ts, who havu been wondering; why the taxes collect ed on booite have been on the In crease each month.- . HEIRS RANSACK A GRAVE.

The dls covery is made by a family tree ex pert that Rockefellpr Is descended from the French nobility. The Republican county convention was held today and tho attendant was held Saturday and. the attenduucM had good delegations on hand and full ticket was nominated. The con vention was harmonious, mid the tick et nominated Is considered a strong one. Nearly all of the candidates are comparatively new men to majority of the voter of the county, the old crowd that has for year -been on the ticket being dropped this time. The ticket as nominated Is given be low: ''. .'.' '.: . For SheriffDavid A. Jones, of Mlddlo Fork. For Register Henry W. Winston. For Treasurer W. A. Bethanlu, For Coroner Dr. W. C.

He said he had ijeoolv ed Information that delegation from several townships had not arrived on account of the heavy ruin, but would be present later. Ho thought It best that the convention postpone the se lection of a ticket tintll these delega tions arrived. . : Talking " about the weather the chalrtnwtjdjj . required more than Jiettvy trains to keep Republicans away froth their conventions and cited the Charlotte convention to prove his assertion. Mr. Hull told of a conversation with a Democrat an hour previous to the convention. This Democrat, met Mr. Hall and pointing to tho falling rains remarked: "Even the heavens weep for the Republicans when they meet In convention." "The heavens may weep for the Republicans," Mr, Hull declared, "but, when the ticket we nominate today gets through with yon there will bo more weeping, and the heavens and the Republicans will not be the weepers." This made tho delegates feel good, and a Utile later when the chairman mentioned .Ihe name of Mr, Cox and predicted his nomination for governor there was a small demonstration. The roll call of the townships show ed all represented. It was agreed that while walling for the absent delega tions to arrive the selections of Judg es and supervisors be taken up. At this point Postmaster Reynolds got in a few words that brought laughter to the crowd. As Hroadbay had not se lected a candidate for road supervisor the delegates withdrew to name 1 man. "Go Into the prisoner's cell," exclaimed ex Sheriff Teague," "Yes." said the postmaster. "Hroadbay will go to Jail or anywhere else before she'll vote tho Democratic 1 ticket." They accordingly followed him Into the cage. There was a long wait after the se lection of road supervisors and final ly a motion was mnde to adjourn un til one o'clock.
