The regular session of Con- jSxtra sossios gress will meet the first Monday in December, bat the President thinks to call the extra session the 9th' of November. While it does look like three weeks would make very little difference, still that time given to one particular thing might count much more than If it were mixed up with other things. tt tt The Wilmington Messenger has some very pointed things to say about money sharks, and closes an editorial article with the following paragraph : Against Money aris. "The AtIanta papera charge that tfaere are money sharks in that city who charge their customers from two hundred to a thousand per cent, on the loans made. No man can afford to pay such usurious rates of interest. Men who once begin it soon become much worse off financially than they were ..when driven to seek the aid of these usurers. They get into the latter's clutches and are soon on the downward road to financial and moral ruin. From the day that Christ overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple down to the present time the usurer has been the bane of the . human race.' tttt The farmers of the State generally 10 cents. Tbey have their faith in a report that this being Cotton for 10 Cents must go higher. Cotton farmers at the opening of the season calculated on 10 cents for their cotton and a fall to lower than 9 cents brings them great disappointment, and they are not to be eriticized for holding their cotton lor a better price. The only question to be considered, are they able to do do it? The farmer who bad his supplies at home and did not have to bay them'from some one's store, can afford to hold his cotton for whatever price he may set on it. It is to be hoped that farmers will not haye to wait long before they get 10 cents for cotton. tut The New York Times in answering a correspondent's inquiry about the danger of sitting in a draft of air during a tbundcr storm says : "The only Air Currents and Ligutning. moisture than the body of the atmosphere. As this could scarcely be in a dwelling, it is quite safe to say that those who leave windows open during thunder showers run no greater risk of being 'struck by lighting' than do those who render themselves uncomfortable by high temperatures In a stagnant atmosphere. The only good reasons we know of for closing doors and windows at such times are to keep out the dust which usually precedes them and the driving rain of which they consist. If for any reason the lightning should want to come in 'out of the wet' it would not stop to knock at a closed door or lift a dropped sash. It does many surprising things, but these are not included In its repertoire." 'tut The Kinston Free Press quotes a leading business man who favors Mr. Josephus Daniels for next Governor of North Carolina. He gives as his reasons that Mr. Daniels has, thronghthe News Josephus Daniels for and observor) done more to buiJa ap thi8 State QdYernOTr and the South than any other paper published. ' It quotes the business man referred to as follows : "We may go back and take every issue of his paper for year?, and he has advised and pointed out to our people the high road to progeess and success. He has encouraged with all his might the building of factories of all kinds, railroads and Im provements of all kinds. He has taken a lively interest' in farming and farmers in fact every class of people in oar grand old State. The extra illustrated issues gotten out by the News and Observer from time to time show enterprise unequalled in all the South. There are numbers of great and good efforts that Mr.Daniels has made for the public good,by no means the least of which Is the fact that he left no stone unturned to rid our capi tal city of saloons. The West, of coarse, is entitled to the Governor this time ; but If they are unable to agree, I shall present the name of Josephus Daniels, Esq. He would make a noble Governor." tttt According to the September Bulletin of the North Carolina Board of Health, there haa been considerable increase is diphtheria in a number of counties in the State. The increase during the Diphtheria in the State. month ot August over July was400 percenLbotb as to the area affected and the number of cases reported. The Bulletin sug gests that on the family physicians rests much of the responsibility against the spread of the disease. The public health officers are also charged with much of the responsibility in governing and keeping the disease from spreading. The article on the disease closes as follows : "Diphtheria is essentially a disease of childhood, and the infection is therefore very fre quently spread in the schools. It is, therefore, extremely important that the offioials charged with the duty of giving notice of contagious diseases to'tbose in charge of our schools, public and private, as set forth in section ll" should perform this duty promptly .and equally important that the said school authorities should see to it that the instructions laid down in sect ion 12 are rigidly carried out. These are very grave responsibilities, and a failure to meet them is sure to entail sickness and death that cou!d have been avoided. We very much tear that the duties elted are often overlooked, and we earnestly commend to those interested a careful re-reading of the sections of the law quoted." cfr -J PASSING EVENTS. seem inclined to hold their cotton for rise in the price on the government the crop is 25 per cent, short ; and the case they .think that the price case in which an electrical discharge would be likely to follow an air current into a house is when such current carries a higher j ercentage of b TtvoDapa. cn every Scarcity of Farm Labor. Wilmington Messenger. At the South in recent years tbeie has been a marked tendency among the white people of the rural districts to move to the tons and villages, and it is increasing each year. This is be cause of the desire for securing better educational facilities for the children and of the great increase in the num ber of factories and other industrial plants. Many negroes also leave the country for the tons. This has great ly decreased the supply of farm labor ers and haa consequently Increased the cost of raising the crops. One farmer in this State is quoted as saying the scarcity of farm labor in his section has advanced, by two cents a pound the cost of putting cotton on the market. This matter ot scarcity of farm labor ers has already become, a serious one in many sections and will continue to grow more so each year unless some thing can be diioe. What we need in this State, and we suppose the condi tions are the same all oyer the South, Is immigration either from the North and Northwest or from Europe. But how to secure this immigration is the question. Most of the people who come South from other sections of the country are men who have means and come for the purpose of employing labor, or working themselves upon their own farms. Tbey, ot course, are welcomed, but we want laborers as well as labor employers and men of means ; but the laborers do not come, and, ac cording to Commissioner of Agricul ture Patterson, they are not coming and compete with the negroes. The thousands and thousands of foreign, im migrants who land on our shores each year either stop in the North Atlantic States or go west. None of tbem come South, for no serious eff rts are made to induce them to do so, and if there were it is doubtful if they would come, for the same reason that keeps the American laborers away from us. What then are!we to do? The question is growing more serious every year and nothing is being done to remedy the increasing evil. We must do some thing and should get about it in a hur ry for there is no time to lose. Agricultural and Immigration Qns& tions A$);ting the South. Nearly eigh t pages of the October is sue of the Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore devoted to letters from officials of Southern and Southwestern railroads engaged in the practical task of attracting white settlers are striking illustrations of the widespread interest in Southern immigration. The inter est is shown in the North and West by the throng ot bomeseekers moving from those quarters, by the activity In the South of real estate men who have succeeded In other parts ol.tbe country, and by the general spirit of inquiry. Its complement is in the quickening activities in many parts of the South to make advantages known and to wel come the new-comers. Of special interest in this connection is an article in the same issue of the Magazine by Mr, Thurston H. Allen of Florence, Ala., who presents the de tailed figures of the experience of Ger man settlers in Alabama with several kinds of crops. This thriftyjclass depends largely upon itself, but others look to the negroes as helpers in their farming operations. Much misapprehension about the capabilities of the negroes as farm laborers has been created by agita tors. Mr. Thomas P. Grasty contributes some sensible advice on this point, to the effect that the farm is a first-class school for the proper education of the negro, and he urges that meanwhile Southern farmers might find relief from temporary inconvenience by giv ing more attention to the raising ol good grade live-stock. The Southern Farm Magz':ue,which is published by the Manufacturers' Re cord Publishing Co., Baltimore, is in valuable to all who want to keep in touch with the great questons affecting Southern agriculture and immigration interests.

Now for a little talk with the boys and girls of the Kinston schools. The graded school has opened, and the private schools are well under way. Nearly all of vou boys and girls are now at work upon school duties. Did the question ever occur to you? If not I will ask it. What are you going to school for any way ? Are you going there to have a "good time?" Arr you going there to get through with a disagreeable piece ol work? Are you going there to develop your minds and o make of yourselves the best possible sen and women ? To be sure the good time must not be lost sight of. There is something sadly laoking in the school or in yourelf if you don't have a good time whiie in school. You must not let your school duties keep you from having a pure enough good time, with plenty of play thrown in. And one of the very best ways in the world for you to have a good time is for you to perform your school tasks so willingly and honestly that the per formance will become a pleasure to you. To be sure there are disagreeable tasks to be performed during a course ot Bchool, but you must not allow tbem to rob you ot the sweetness and joy ot your school life. You may not realize it now, but re member, boys and girls, that sometime sooner or later, you will realize that your school days were meant simply to prepare you tor the lite beyond tbe school that awaits you. Your school is nothing more nor less than a place in which you are to form correct habits of living. You are now "twigs." The school takes hold of you and bends you and you know the way the twig is bent the tree's inclined. But I'm sure you understand that. There are a few things, though, that we must notice especially : It is very easy for us all, and young people especially, to fall, into habits Now, instead of falling headlong luto habits, we must in some way, get hab its into us. In other words ire must not let babifs master us, we must mas ter and make habits. There is going to be trouble between yourselves and some habits this very year. See that you master tbe habit. Form correct habits of living and then life will not be anything like so bard, dark and gloomy as some people say it is. Now, as to some of those habits : Maae it a habit to do everything you are called upon to do as willingly and cheerfully as possible. Some things will be disagreeable ; but disagreeable tasks oan be done cheerfully and then they are not half so bad as you thought. Be sure to be on time for each duty that claims you during the day. That habit will be of gret value to you when you go to a business man for a job. Then another habit you can form in school with your teachers and, fellow-pupils better than almost any where'else is that ot politeness. No body wants the surly, impolite boy or girl around, much less the surly, im polite man or woman. Then in your habit forming form the habit of doing good, honest work. Do not let idleness get hold of you ; for if it once masters you, you might as well get off tbe iaceot the earth and give your place to somebody else. Then above all, be faithful to' your father and mother, love them, cherish them, obey tbem, try to please them. There are a great many other habits that might be spoken of, but if you will start this school year with a deter mination to form these habits that we have been talking about, you will find life much easier and you will be far more successful than you had supposed.
