One Older People Love the Fields. self giving much attention to a small plat of land which he took delight in cultivating. The second man said he was passing through the same ex perience and remarked that such love for the field and farm was an indica tion o! advancing years. That called forth the question whether or not it is true that a man's fondness for the field is a proof of approaching old age. And now, is it? The Rich Square Times last week was speaking oat loud about the act ion of the last Legislature in increasing the salary of the county commis- Unusual Raise in Salary.8ionere f NorthamPton connty- The Time says that the county has a good, faithful and efficient board of commissioners, and so far as anyone knew they were sat isfied with their saiary. But in the face of these facts the Legislature pass ed an act doubling the pay of the commissioners of Northampton county. The Times says that no one would have said much, perhaps, if the salary of the county commissioners had been raised 25 per cent. But to raise the salary one hundred per cent, at one jump, and that, too, without any one asking for it, is a little too much. The Times makes a strong protest against the whole thing ; and from its stand point it is entirely correct in the protest. ttxt Several days ago a dispatch sent out fiom Elizabeth City stated that little Kenneth Beasley had been found in Norfolk. Another statement Was it Intentional? time in February the Beasley boy disappeared from school near his home in Currituck county, and up to this writing nothing definite has been heard of him. The Wilu. .gton Messenger lays the following strictures on the sender of the fake telegram : "If that dispatch from Elizabeth City stating that Senator Beasley 's child has been found, was a 'fake' sent out just to create a sensation the friends of the boy's parents ought to give the rascal who made it up a coat of tar and feathers. A man who would, for the sake of creating ex citement, so play upon the feelings bereaved as are Mr. and Mrs. Beasley is not fit to live among civilized people." t t t I Almost every business that has disadvantages has also its better side. For instance, many people think the liie of a traveling man a hard one, The Trayeling Man's Opportunity. some special line in such way that they need to see only one person or . firm in a city or town ; and it requires only a short time to transact the business at band. Then perhaps he has a long wait of hours, and some times half a day, before he can catch a train for the direction in which be wishes to travel. Such times seem to furnish a fine opportunity for gener al reading, if not for specific study. The traveling man who is inclined to study and wishes to improve his mind can easily turn to good account many an hour which is denied a clerk or a man in a busy office. There is no telling the wonderful improvement one may realize by two or three hours reading and study every day. We are not saying that traveling men do not take advantage of these opportunities, for we do not know. If they do, and we feel quite sure that some do, they doubtless find at the end of the year that their salary has not been the only thing they have real ized as "a knight of the grip." t t t t The Richmond News-Leader presents another view of the cotton prob lem, as follows : Another Yiew of the Cotton Problem. obseryed. We have seen much in the newspapers of organized efforts to ' reduce the acreage, to limit the crop, to hold cotton for ten cents, to de stroy that part of tha crop of last year not yet marketed, so as to create a scarcity. The basis for all these suggestions Is the allegation that cotton cannot be produced profitably at less than 7 cents. Insteadof trying to force up the price, why not try to reduce the cost of production? It Is a fact that some farmers can raise cotton and sell it at a profit at six cents, while others barely come out even at 8 or 9 cents. What one man can do another can do. It seems to us that effort should be concentrated In the direction of such generally Improved methods of cotton growing as to bring the cost below the 5-cent line. We probably will have to come to that sooner or later. An official report presented in the British House of Commons yesterdav announced. that the English authorities are working tor the pipduction of cotton on their own territory and independence of America and with the dogged, methodical persistence characteristic of their race. What the English undertake to do they usually accomplish eooner or later, after a series of experiments, blunders and failures. Cer tainly in thia matter they constitute a force to be reckoned with by the American cotton grower. They have trebled their output of cotton in . fiye ear8. it in the course ot 5 or 10 years they succeed in deyeloping Tsucceesful cotton-growing Industry on their own soil, they will be iormid ble rivals. The only hope of successful competition with them will be re ducing our cost of production by the use of our own intelligence and ener M a armimnces and methods such as the American people ey ana iinpiu" . , always develop when necessity is urgent.

It will be remembered that some and indeed in many respects it is hard ; but there may be found a favorable feature in It. Many a young man, and older ones, too .represent "That solution of the cotton question.which seems to us the most obvious and direct, has not yet been suggested by anybody, so far as we have CHEATED DEATH. Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolf, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He says : "Two years ago I had Kidney Trouble, which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric bitters, which effected a com plete cure. I have also found them of great benefit in general debility and nerve trouble, and keep them constant ly on band, since, as I find they have no equal." E. T. Whitehead & Co., druggists, guarantees them at 50c. Learn to Save. Merchants Journal. The first lesson a man is given to learn when be enrolls in the school which qualifies for success is to put by part of his salary every week. The truest friend in times of adversity is the bank account and the surest foun dation upon which to build a fortune is the accumulated savings ot months and years. The habit of putting money away Is reflex in its action The money itself is a valuable accessory, and the quality of mind and character developed through this habit makes for ultimate succes. The man who can calmly pass by the tinsel aud glit ter of civilized ute. whose muuey i not drawn from bis pockets by every tinkling sound, is a man who will have small cause for complaint at the world's treatment. He will develop beyond the influence of trifles. A man past forty remarked : "If I only had a little money I could make a fortune out of this device." "He was sadly mistaken," was the comment of A. P. Monroe in a recent article. "The fact that he had reached 40 on a salaried position, without having saved money, was proof positive that be had not enough power of resistance success fully to handle any kind of an enter prise. Sharper, shrewder people would get his money away from him, just as they bad been getting it awav from him for twenty years." When a man's ambition is not a stronger force with him than theatres, cigars, fancy ties, expensive boarding-bouses, slot ma- chines, and such agencies, his life will be devoted to supporting parasites. A man who cannot withstand trivial temptations to spend money has not in him a stiff enough back-bone to make a success ot any ventuie. He could be turned aside from his under taking by the first bauble that caught bis eye, like some infant, enthralled with a toy ballon. The cafes, soda fountains, tbe places of amusement, all furnish temptation to a young man to part with his money. If his ideal, the purpose within him, is not strong er than those outside inducements his stlary will be frittered away on unneces sary expenditures, and bis life will be a failure. It is tbe order of mind such a course of action indicates that spells failue, not the mere fact of being with out money, though the possession of a small sum of monev has often made ultimate success possible. LAST HOPE VANISHED. When leading physicians said that W. M. Smithart, Pekin, la., had in curable consumption his last hope va nished ; but Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, kept him out of bis grave.
