Ti i toil's Leisure OBSERVATIONS OF Despite all the scientific investigation of the boll weevil it seems that none of it promises a way to its extermination. There is promise.it is said, Is the Ball Weevil Doomed ? and every chance will be giyen the ant to do destructive work upon the boli weevil in Texts. Much is involved in the whole matter. If the boll weevil continues its work as at present and should spread as has bean pre dicted without any check, it will soon greatly affect the production and price oi cotton. t t it . The war news for some days has been quite favorable to the Japanese. Indeed they have achieved some splendid victories and the Russians seem unable to resist them. While Russia is a great Japanese Victories. pov,er and ,he japanese must have felt it a great task before them as they approached the beginning of the conflict, the Ja psnese preparations and calculations for the war wars careful and accurate. Long before the war commenced the Japanese sent through Korea and Manchuria skilled engineers in the guise of coolies, who took the measure, depth, flow and current power of every river, and the pontoon bridges were made in sections to meet the demands in each Cise. Thus they have been successful in crossing rivers, and thus successful in most they have under taken. 1 1 it Judges Purnell and Peebles have Leen overruled and peace has been re stored within our borders. Under writ of habeas corpus the witnesses Kerr, Carroll and Southerland whom Judge Teeblea Judges Pwriell an! Pee- eentenced to fot thlrty day8 for con. bles Overruled. , . . . . , tempt in their affidavits against him, have been declared not guilty of contempt. The writ was issued by Judge H. G. Con nor of the Supreme court, and the cs:se was heard beiore him Saturday. He overruled Judge Peebles, finding that the witnesses had not committed contempt against Judge Peebles' court. As soon as that matter was settled, thecase between Judge Peebles end the Lumberton lawyers was compro mised. The attorneys ior both sides came together in amicable agreement, accepting the denial of the Luraberton lawyers that they meant any con tempt for Judge Peebles' court in continuing all tbeii cases in court some time ago. And so that matter was finally settled Friday. The case between Judge Purnell of the Federal court and Editor Daniels of the Kews and Observer was also tettled Friday. Judge Pritchard, ibe successor to the late Judge Simonton, granted a writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Daniels, and came to Raleigh to hear the case. His decision was prompt that he saw no act of contempt in the editorial utterances of Mr. Daniels, although he thought Judge Purnell had acted conscientiously in the matter. Preceding these two overrulings, Chief Justice Fuller of the Unitee States Supreme Court, had overruled Judge Purnell in the appoint ment of a receiver a second time for the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail road, and that property has been restored to its owners, the receivers, Mears and McBee, having held control only two days. And now that all these matters have been settled,the people of the State can haye something belter to read than the every day eyidences ol acrimonious feelings between per sons in high places. The people of the entire State are glad that all these troublous matters have been settled. t t t t ' Now is the time when the students from the various colleges and the children in the town ard city schools will have a season of rest from study. It is indeed a gladsome ee&son to the young men Vscitioii Tim01 ' and the young women who have spent nine or ten rronths within the walls of a college. It is the time when they can en joy to the full that looked-for freedom which has been before their mind3 for many weeks. Even to the ambitious youth, who loyes his books and delights in study ,it is a pleasure and a delight which could come in no eth er way to go back to the farm home and again drive the team a-field and again drink in the joys that are peculiar to that life tfhich has a blessed ness which no other life can have the life in the country. After a leng season of close application to books and lectures and examinations and all that is taxing in the work of a good and faithful student at college,nothirjg can be more restful and gratifying than to get back under the wide-spreading shade and enter into the freedom of bom8-lifo in the country. It is a glad and glorious time when the country boy can go back from college a nd be received into the bosom of the family, to be blessed with the commend ations of a fond father, enjoy again the tender care of a tender mother and to mingle in glee and fun with loving brothers and sisters. But perhaps every college student does not have all the joya here referred to ; but even in that case the vacation time is a glad time any way. And it ia no less eo to the young women who go from college back to be with the home folks again for a season and enjoy the pleasures that await them on their return after a faithful year's work in college. No time is quite so precious to the ideal young girl as that which 6he spends at home with mother and father and the others at home. And the boys and girls and children in the erowded town and city schools greet vacation time with just asmuch'joyas do the young men and young women from the colleges. The girls can have Bome time for play and to take perhaps their last season with their dolls and pictures and the like. And the boys have time for the rollicking fun which no one else can enjoy like a boy. It is a happy season for those who have been in school and now burst forth into the freedom of a few weeks of rest. But the pleasurs is not all on the side of those wno have been con fined to the work of the college and school. Those at home are jnst as glad to have the young men and young women home again as they are to go. All are equally , happy in the season's pleasures. It may be added that the hard-worked, faithful, thoughtful teachers have as much and "per haps more claim on tbe pleasures and rest of the season than any others. No one but those who have had the experience can even imagine the relief that comes to the tired and care-worn teacher when the last examination paper has been passed upon, the last report made out and the year's work has ail been done and tbe day for rest has come. We wish for students, children and teachers throughout all the land the richest blessings of every good that can come to them in the rest and recuperation that come through the vacation season.

The Hero Who Defied Vanderbilt's Millions to Buy His Land at . Lart Tempted to Sail. Atlanta Constitution. The news eomea from Asheville that Charles Collins, the negro whose little homestead of six acres occupied the I heart of Vanderbilt estate, has .at last been tempted to transfer his property to the lord of Biltmore for "a fancy consideration." An interesting story is thi,, throwing soras light on negro character. When Qeorge Vanderbilt's agents discovered his paradise ia Buncombe county and secretly bought out the Kraall farmers whose combined holdings were to con stitute his b;roi!i.il estate, they struck one pety tendk-rd m tbe dusky Ashe ville tack-driver who could not be per suaded to part With his home for many times its value. The old darkey, Charlie Collins, boru in tl.very and an independent specimen of his race, sim ply said He bad no land to ssi!. There were these who declared the old negro was simply a shrewd rcsl estate speculator, holding out for Lis price. Others said, notwithstanding he was a hack-driver, that be had no adequate conception of the value of money when placed it in the balance against tbo scntiacentality of homo. It was some ten or twelve years ago that Collins got wide newspaper noto riety by reason cf hi:-; refusal to let Vanderbilt have his little farm, End all this time he has been living qnietly in the center of the big parklikecstfjte, going to and from his Lack stand on the court house rqnare over the mag nificent macadam, flower-lined drive ways of "Biltmore Firr3." For a time the Vandeibilt agents renewed their offers, but the old negro simply replied, with quaint humor, that he h-.xi found ,:Marse Vanderbilt a mighty good neigh bab,'' who "boddercd me none," and did not care to move. At length the offers ceased, and it is said Collins began to show a disposi tion to come to terms. Vanderbilt, perhaps, nettled by tho old darkey's stubbornness, is said to have shown a disposition to keep unwelcome freeholder on the anxious seat, h's agents telling tbe old man that Mr. Vanderbilt had found him to be a pret ty good neighbor and now wa3 con tented to let him spend his days inside the Bilteora lines. In the last few years there was no tali of a transfer by the Vanderbilt interests. Whether by design or not, Collins rented his six acres to & negro lamily who were any tbing but cesirable neigh bors. The immediate effect was to re awaken Interest in the purchase ol the tract by the master of Biltmore, Col lins was approached agiin, and he is believed to have "got bis price." In addition to tbe fancy tigare.be imposed other conditions that go to show his thrifty nature. Mr. Vanderbilt bound himself to build for tte old darky a comfortable cottage eisethere and keep tb.3 same in repair during tho life of its occupant. There is ilso ges-dp of a pension and more or leas luxurious perquisites. j Built Up By Tracking. ! Selected. Correspondence of tbe Charleston News and Courier from Lake City, S. C, asserts that nothing 1 has done so much for the improvement of that section as trucking. It adds : "It has helped everything. Six or eight years ago tfce common opinion prevailed that our soil v.as suitable for only one crop, cottcn. Then our farmers were in debt and their farms were miserable weed patches. All this has been changed. The farmers, as a rule, are out of dent, their farms are in nice condition, they live in better houses, their food is better, they wear better clothes, and their children are at school. On every hand are evidences of improvement. The deposits in our local bank amount to;G0,000 to $70, 000, and tbe depositors are our own people. The credit for e11 this is due to tobacco and truck. Besides straw barries, vegetables are grown in con siderable quantities. We have from 100 to GOO acres in beans, and will put upon the market 40,000 to 0,000 crates. There are some 50 acres in cu cumbers. The lettuce this year brought the growers returns at the rate ot nearly $3,000 per acre. I feel sure that our trucking business amounts to from $75,000 to $100,000 a year. E. T. WHITEHEAD & CO. Ask the readers ol this paper to test the value ol Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

Copyright, 1904, by CARISTINE TEKIIUNK MERRICK. The fresh air fashion has ceased to be a fad. Everywhere people are learning tho value of a life in the open air and are proving for themselves what eyen a few weeks cf roughing out of doors will do. Tbe complete change of habit aids the fre;;n air to get in ita good work and it is nut necessary for the tired toiler to take a long end costly trip in order to make a total vaiiety in the habit of dally life. Farmers' wives have found out that there is benefit to b3 derived from leaving home for a few days and camping down at some place a few miles from the farm. Buy city workers who can tot s fiord to take themselves and then families to distant rural spots have discovered that a tent or a cahm within a short ride of town, near enough for the business men to go back and forth to thtir wcrs ( n wheels, is not to hs dispised ss a means of setting the charge that every ,ne should have in the course of the year. Perhaps men have more of the na tive wrood dweller in their composition than women, but they never seem to have much dillisnlty in adapting them selves to the lack of home conveniences and comforts during a camping out pe riotl. Tosslbly this is because they have less of the work of the purveying to do. Children, too, oft?n enj ny this sort of life and are never hnpp'er than when enduring some small privation that makes th3m feel that they are leading a truly wild existence. Tbe average woman does not take quite so kindly to the unconyentional camp life for obvious reasons. She is usually more a creature of habits than the man and she takes her pleas ures in an orthodox lashion. Yet it is a good thing for her to bs shaken out of her accustomed round once in a while, and even if she does not become so enthusiastic over camping out as do her children and husband, she can hardly fail to get real banelat from it. There ere many ways in which tbe csmp may be made comfortable for" the seekers for health and change who can not indulge themselves in the luxuries of ihoeeAdiroudack campers who supply their rustic dwelilnzs with brass beds and porcelain tubs. That sort ol thing is not camping at ali, m tho real sense ot tbe word, much as ii may appeal to the lovers of the flesh pots. The day has gone by when a camp must cf ne cessity bo a tent. A tciH Has its ad vantages, but it also possesses draw backs. In hot weather it is very hot, even although it coolsquiykly at night. In wet wealter it is not always wa'.cr-t-roof, and is chilly. Men and boys are usually satisfied with it, but a woman owns to a preference for some kind of a shanty or shsck when sha goes camp ing. Whether it be under canvas or beneath a more substantial roof, the main thing to make sure, of in planning for a camp is that the beds shall be comfortable. Happily a fair bed is easily achieved. A camp cot two lengths of wood with a breadth of canvas between, and fold ing legs beneath makes a bed not to be depised, especially when a rug or quilt or comtortable 13 laid upon it. Such a bed as this can be shifted from place to place, but the fame result may be achieved with less bother of trans portation by driving into tbe ground four pests, corresponding with tbe four corners of the bed, lastening strips from one of these to the other so ss to form a hollow square, and to these strips securing stout canvas. If one is within reach of evergreens in abund ance, cross strips of wood may be fast ened to the lengthwise strips of the bed frame and boughs of spruce or THAT THROBBING HEADACHE Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

In wet weather, even with a ditch cut around the tout, some dampness was sure to make itself felt. Likewise crawling t lings found' it very easy to get into th gre9n mst tress. The covering for such a bed should I be dark blankets blankets are lighter and warmer than comfortables and; there t hr u!d b3 enough of them.

Let no woman be delud ed into believing ehe can be really comfortable sleeping on a rubbsr pi.'- tow. i his may do for a foundation, but for real comfort she will need a pillow of feathers or down. When a man camper wishes to wash he lakes a plunge in the nearest body of water. A woman must p'ead for a ba&iu. If the can afford herself tfcej luxury of a rubber tub she is in great . luck. Seme sort of a rude waeh stand can be readily contrived tor her in the! corner of her tent or cf her cabin and I there may be a rope put up or pegs on which she can bang the few clothes' she bates with her in camping. Her wardrobe should he small s.nd sensible. Of coursa she will wear f short skirt of some woolen stuff, Tthin flannel shirtwaist, aa being easily done up, soft stocks instead of laundried collars, knickers rather th.in elaborate underwear, stout boots and a soft hat. "Frills" of any sort aro out of place ir a camp unites it be one ot tho luxur ions establishments' to which I h;;ve already referred. In the lcgnlar hunting camps where 1 hare are guides, ttosa take charge of the cooking, r.nd the women of the party do ut b:;ve to trouble themselves with anything in the way of kitchen work. But there eve camps where tht women do tho housework and tberf taurft be provision mads for the cook ing and eating. The best camp outfit, both for the stove and the table, is of the blue enamel iron-ware, which U iight and durable and not unpieasinr to look at. StOEe china is ugly as well as heavy and anything finer or moie fbgile is out of the question. Table linen, too, is tetter dispensed with as far as possible. If one cannot be bsppy without a tab'cclolh it is v.tH to take a colored oae, but a while oil cloth comes in well r.s a eubsii!u!e Japanese paper napkins are better than damask. Washing ar.d Ironing should be spared the campers as much as possible. Tho women who enjoy outdoor sport ne very fortunate when they go camp ing. I do not lefer only to the lucuj omen who love to fish and row or wht. can handle a gun. They may be con sidered supremely blest. But the ad vantages of an outdoor tad, plreadj dwelt upon in these column, are felt, especially by tho women who camp out. Therefore, unless the woman who goes camping has the love cf Nature very strongly developed, or is deeply interested in some ou'door fad, she will do well to ta!:o with her some meana of amusing herself. Ltt it be her i ncy work, or her basket making, or ber ptt game. There should always bo books and reading aloud, and with these and ths needed w ork of the camp is in a place accessible by good roads the bieycle will help to make th9 out ing more delightful.
