The system ol bidding for business through public , ... , . , advertising has become almost universal with A Hint lo Advertisers. , . L , , T , business men. The Merchants Journal, of Raleigh, drops this good suggestion to advertisers : "The advertisement might contain features but only one or two can be brought out prominently in small advertisements. The attempt to give all the items in an advertisement equal prominence makes nothing promi nent, hence it is better to make one thing emphatic than to produce an advertisement with nothing emphasized. Select with care some special feature from your stock, and study what can be said about it, and how to say what can be said in the strongest way." tut Col. Fred A. Olds writes from Waco, Texas, to the Charlotte Observer, and his letter is quite interesting as it relates to the cotton situation there. The Cotton Situation iu Texas. duction in cotton acreage but the "farmers there feel that Inasmuch as they are scouriged with the boll-weevil they ought not to be expected to share so much in the acreage reduction. Some credence is given to the story that - one farmer scattered some of the boll that some regions besides his own might be infested with the pest. This is ratL.er hard to accept. It speaks rather badly for the man who could show such disposition, and one hopes it is not true. t t t t "In diction, it was as faultless as a classic of olden times ; in sentiment it was as beautiful as a mother's love for her babe ; in eloquence it was as thrilling as A Beautiful Compliment Such was Goldsboro correspondent to the Charlotte Observer concerning the address of Col. Joseph E. Robinson in welcoming the Woman's club conyention to Goldsboro. Editor Robinson writes nice things for his paper, the Argus, and we are not surprised that heRhou'd say nice things in an address to the ladies who assembled In Goldsboro. We do dot know the correspondent whom we quote at the first of this paragraph, but seldom have we seen a more neatly turned compliment by any one. Some people can say things well, and then others can tell about them well. t t t t A serious situation has confronted the truckers and berry-growers in the Southern part of the State recently. The transportation companies have Serious for Truckers. products of have had to lie at the statioas to mildew and rot for the lack of being moved to market. Thousands of crates haye had to wait too long and many of the berries were shipped in bad condition. AH this is too bad on the truckers. The transportation companies should see to it that the farmers have accommodations for shipping their truck and berries. Noth ing can be more discouraging to a farmer than to labor and toil and hope, ior good results and then lose his chance by a slip of carelessness or neg ligence of some one else. They deserve better treatment. tut Sometimes young men are persuaded that their future success will de pend much upon the institution in which they are educated. Some will tell them that certain Institutions have more It Depends Upon the stige and greater reputation and are more in Wnrlr fluen iai, and that to take a course in such an institution will give them an introduction into the possibilities ot life that they could not otherwise get. That may all be true : but we pauee to ask the question, What good will such introduction do unless there is some thing in the young man that will support him in his high-circle introduct ion? The question that must settle it for every man in tb3 race of life is, not whence he came, nor where he has been, but who is he, what does he know and what can he do. It Is the power that brings thines to pass that counts most in every man's life. These other things may have their influ ence ior a time, but it is the psrmanent qualification or ability that counts. After all, the success of one's battle depends upon how strong he ia how he can fight and how long he can keep up his lick. And this re solves itself into the conclusion that every man must lay his own founda tion, and that environment doesn't have so much to do with it. We have all often heard the adage about farming that there's more in the man than there is in the land, and the i-rinciple holds good in many other things besides farming. Yea, we believe'jt practically holds good in everything. CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REM EDY THE VERY BEST. I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and want to say it is the best cough medicine I -have ever taken," says Geo. L Chubb, a merchant of Hlnf Mich.

Mr. Editor, Scotland Neck, N. C, Dear Sir : Thinking it might be interest ing to some of the readers of The Commonwealth to know" how the pine apples grow, I will give a short history as to the growing of them in Florida. The pineapple fields 'of Florida are lo cated on a high ridge of land lying be tween the Tnrlian river and the Ever glades, 400 miles south of Jacksonville. The ridge is from one-quarter to a mile in width. The Florida East Coast Railroad runs right through the plantation? and tourists are often dis appointed in not seeing the pineapple trees. The pineapple plant is not large, growing to a beigth of four feet at maturity. The top, growing out of the apple, called a crown, is a full grown plant. These crowns are often planted when slips and suckers aro scarce. To plant a crown successfuliy, twist it out of the apple, cut off all of the fruity part, tear off a dozen of thr leaves around the bottom and you will see the little eyes that when planted become little roots. The plant will grow slow, but In eighteen months should bear fruit. When the plant bears it's frui. it gives one apple to the plant, standing upright on a single stem. The apple is surrounded with Blips, small plants growing out of this stem When the apple Is broken off the slips are left on the stem to grow to from six to twelve inches in length, when they are broken off and planted in rows 20x20 inches, about 12,000 to the acre. They are then hoed shout once a month, fertilized, first with a good pinch of cotton-seed meal and tobacco dust dropped in the heart of the plant, then, three months later, 1,000 pounds of the same mixture is broadcast and worked m the ground. After that a ton of high-grade fertilizer is broad oast twice a year over the plants. The plants bear indefinitely. The pineap ple has lew enemies, p.nd those it hae are easily controlled. A pineapple field after the first year requires very little care except fertilizing at proper times, and harvesting the crop. The plants have sharp edges which necessi tates wearing canvas leggins and can vas mittens. The picker wades right into the field, pick 3 the apple and tosses it to a catcher in the alley, who places it gently in a hand-cart, which, when full, is drawn by the catcher into the packing housii where skilful and rapid packers wrap the apple in pnper and place it in crates. The apples are pick ed green and ripen in transit to mark et. The Indian river apple is not con sidered as good as the Orlando apple, two hundred miles north and raised under cover. An apple picked ripe from the plant is much sweeter, and so juicy that the juice runs down to one's elbows, and when eaten you never think of using sugar on it. Pineapples, if eaten fretly, will allay all pangs of indigestions. I speak from experience. W. D. Pender. WHY SUFFER FKOM RHEUMA TISM? Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relieve tbe pain? The quiet relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is -worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from enffermg have ben happily surpisad to find that after awhile the relief became perman ent. Mrs. V. H. Legged of Yam Yum, Tennessee, U: S.
