Ocnuine made by Hollisteb Pnuo Company, Madison, Wis GOLDEN NUGGETS FOR SALLOW PEOPLE WJ pDITOr'S JEISURE JioUIS, OBSERVATIONS OF The Manufacturers' Record on its outside cover page asks what will the South do in 1907. It precedes the question with the following en couraging and suggestive statement of what the The South for 1907. Bouth did ln 1906 : in 1906 the South built 3,055 miles of railroads. Produced $2,000,000,000 on its farms. Dug 84, 000,000 tons of coal from its mines. Cut at least 13,000,000,000 feet of lumber. Gave $700,000,000 worth of Merchandise to American Export trade. Manufactured $2,000,000,000 worth ot goods in iron and steel and wood and leather and cotton and wool and other materials. Added $2,650, 000,000 to the value of its real wealth." txxt Virginia and all eaatern Carolina this year have a fine chance for good business in truck, poultry, butter, and. other choice farm products. The Watch the Exposition. such products as named will be In great demand ln Norfolk. Already prices for such things are high and there is no probability that the prices will range any lower before the exposition closes, and those who pay prop er attention to these products may well expect a good patronage and good prices. So we suggest to farmers and poultry men, especially those who have railroad facilities, that good profit may be realized with little more expense than usual. till When we say that the eyes of the people o! the State are on the legisla ture now in session, we say nothing new. For a long time the people have The Legislature. time, perhaps the gaze of the public eye on the legislature will be more in tense than usual, and the law-makers at Raleigh may not be surprised if there is more comment on their work than usual. So far as we know there are no great questions to come bafore the body, and we predict that most of the legislation will be of a local nature. And such being the case the body ought to be able to fairly finish up its work in good time and not have to pass bills the last day or two of the session In a "lump sum." According to the following from the Wilmington Messenger, North Carolina ranks third in the number of spindles in cotton mills : "Recent- ., , ly the census bureau of the department of com- North Carolina Third. . , . , a , , merce and labor issued a bulletin on cotton. It contains some interesting figures on the consumption in regard to locality of the mills for the year ended August 31st last. Massachusetts baa more spindles than any other State 8,901.725 or 34 5 per cent, of the entire country. South Carolina comes next, with 3,387,204 or 13 per cent. North Carolina ranks third with 2,396 703 or 9.3 per cent. Rhode Island is fourth and Georgia fifth. The Massachusetts mills consumed 1,334,182 bales or 25.1 per cent, of the total cotton consumed by the mills of the whole country and the two .Carolinas 1,349,920 bales, or 27.50 per cent. The number of idle spindles during the year was b61,'85 and the number of new ones, not inoluding renewals, was 687,221." 4 1 1 So many protests have been offered against any tendency on the part of boys and young men to speak lightly of their parents that it would reem "The Old Man." have a way of speaking of their father in an unbecoming manner, and to ouch the following from the Franklin Times is quite suggestive and ap propriate : -"Boys, when you speak of your lather don't call him 'the old man.' Of course you are older now than when you were taught to call him father. You are much smarter than you were then, you are much more manly looking, your clothes fit you better, your hat has a modern shape and your hair is combed differently, in short "flyer" than you were then. Your father has a last years coat, a two-year-old hat and a vest of still older pattern. He can't write such an elegant note as you oan and all that, but don't call him 'the old man.' Call him father. For years he has been rustling around to get things together, he has been held to the thorny path ot uphill industry, and the brightest half of life is gone from him forever. But he loves you though he goes along without saying much about it, therefore, be not so ungrateful or so inconsiderate." tut The 19th ol January will be observed as the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of R bert E. Lee, the great chieftain whose name Will Honor Lee. observations : '-This movement to thus honor the great Confederate chief tain is not confined to the South, but is shared in by the people of the North also. The genius of the man ha? been recognize! by those who were his bitterest foes, and they will now join in praises to bis memory. As this is a very fitting time to study the character of this great hero it would be well for all the schools to turn to that part of American history, in which he figures so prom'nently, and carefully learn of him. No char acter in all history is more inspiring than his. He it was who said, 'Duty Is the sublimest word in the English language,' He exemplified that eublimity in his every act. As a military genius Lee stands far superior to Grant, who vanquished him. He may be mentioned along with Napoleon and Hannibal, both of whom were defeated as he was. There hare been few generals in all history superior to him. And the Country, north and south, is begmn-ig t . accord him his proper place in history." FOR OVER' SIXTY YEARS.

Jamestown Exposition will bring thousands upon thousands of visitors to Norfolk, and all been ln the habit of keeping their eyes on legis lators, but as this Is a most strenuous age and almost out of place to mention it again. But there are still some boys and young men who Is loved and honored tar and wide. The Way nesville Courier makes the following timely Nearly every person who is subject to attacks from the stomach suffers frcm a morbid dread of a dietetic treat ment for relief, that is three-fourth starvation, and one-fourth toast and milk. On the other hand you can eat as you please and digest the food by the aid of a good digestant, thus giving the tired stomach equally as much rest. Eat what you please and take a littl Kodol For Indigestion after your meals. It digests what you eat. Sold by E. T. Whitehead & Co. The Farmer's Greatest Need. The Cotton Journal.. Turn it and twist it as you will, the greatest neen of the Southern framers today, that which will make their fu ture pathway bright, happy and pros perous, is education the better train ing of the mind, so that by intellectual activity, the pitfalls of the persentmay be overcome, and the roadway of the future made smooth and easy. The man who does not study, rend, think and act intelligently will always be re guarded as a mere mechanic to achieve results through the influence of some master mind behind him. The highest type oi an intelligent, cultivated husbandry wi;i, at all times, achieve the greatest results from the soil, and, at the same time, win proper remuneration for the products or their labor from the world with which they deal. As we ring out the old year and welcome lri the new, let us remember that the principal obstacles which have beset our pathway through the yars gone by, were due to ignorance of the true principles of life which make suc cess sure and certain. We have exer cised our muscles too much and used our brain too little. The world at large, which has fattened and grown rich on the products ot our labor, has exercised its brain power as a leading asset. The farmers have been the draft-horses of production, their pro duels the chariot, and the captains of commerce and finance have held the lines aj?d used the whip to fill their own coffers as a premium on their sjperior brain. No great fight ln modern times can be whipped through the collective co-operation ot mnscu'ar force, no matter in whom the leader ship may be Invested or bow sacred the trust represented. The friction of brain against brain is the only medium through which the success of all com binations is made possible, and the farmers must begin to realize that fact more now than ever in the past. Wasting Feed. The time of the year has arrived when all stock shou'd be safely housed, at least through nights and stormy days. The question of how much and what to feed to obtain best results Is a serious one. The farmers ot the coun try can be divided into about three clasces. The first class, which are in the mijority, are wasting feed by feed ing just enough for maintenance or simply keepiug their animals alive, and are not getting the growth thej might. The second class are those that realize that you cannot starve money into an animal and so feed him with such an open hand that his stom ach either gets overtaxed and the ani mal becomes diseased or else gets over tat. I am now speaking of the stock that are to be carried over winter and not fattened. It only pays to fatten an animal once, and that is just before he is to be sold. The farmer that over fattens his growing stock is also a loser. The third class are In the minority ; they are the ones that study the require ments of their animals and the quality ot their feeds and aim at all times to feed the proper feed in just the right amount to keep up a nice growth and healthly condition ; but not to watte feed by fattening the animals at a time when fat is only a hindrance to their proper development. The time has come when the succasslul farmer must make a study of his farm animals and their needs. Ha who looks into the matter closest (everything else being equal.) will succeed best. Men that have mads the great success in the busi ness world have beea the men that have given the closest attention to their business. Forest Henery.

Whitehead & Co., Scotland Neck, and Leggett's Drug Store, Hobgood. "A Miss Is as Good as a Mile." We have all used the saying, "A miss is as good as a mile :" yet It is doubtful If any know the origin of the proverb. Before the days of tho great Charlemagne, when King Teplin ruled the Franklsh Empire, there dwelt two friends, Amis and Amile. According to the story of Turpin, these men were so strongly attached to each other that Amile risked his life to save the life and fortune of Amis, and later, when Ami'e was euflenng from leprosy, Amis sacrificed bis own children in or der that his friend might be bathed in their blood and cured. Thus came that peculiarly true proverb which will no doubt remain with Us until the end ot time.

Drug Store, Hobgood. . THE OPEN FIBE. John Charles McNeill. 'Pis the crumple of iootfalls soft in the snow, The crunch, crunch, crunch, where the embers glow, Tis the flutter of slow winds, stirring the trees ; The murmur of distant, beckoning seas. Whatever the heart of a man may de sire He sees or he hears in the winter night's fire. Alas, for the flickering dreams that flare One moment, and pass to the upper air ! But the darker the night the brighter the gleam, And the sadder the heart the gladder the dream. The lonelier he who may muse at the fire The sweeter his vision ot all his de fire. Ala?, for gray ashes and smoke that is fled, As son I flees from body when dream a'l are dead ! But between the wing'd smoke and the bed of gray ashes, L'.f9 mounting on earth, the eager ili me flushes, And upward untiring doth climb and aeplre Man's emblem and nature's the win ter night's fire. Henry Grady on Bum, To-night it enters a humble home to strike the roses from a woman's cheek, and to-morrow it challenges this repub lic ln the hslla of congress. To-diy it stiikes a crust from the lips of a starving child, and to-morrow levies tribute from the government iuolf. There la no cottage humble enous;h to escape 1', no palace strong enough to shut it out. It defies the law when it cannot coerce suffrage. It Is fbx!b!e to caj le, but merciless in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despoiier of men and terror of women, the cloud that shadows the face of children, the demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls u nth rived to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood beyond Jericho. It comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons and miue. It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under Its rumbling wheels. It comes to bring grayhalred moth ers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to change the wife's love into despair and her pride into shame. It comes to stil! the laughter on the lips of little children. It. comes to stiflj all the music ot the home and fill it with silence and desolation. It comes to ruin your body and it knows it must measure its prosperity by the swiftne s aud certainty with which it wrecks this world. Kefiaing Influences. Lauderdale Enterprise. Let us 6tudy the value of the beauti ful. The influence of the beautiful is largely of a subconscious nature, it is ti'ent, permeating and powerful. The ministry ot the beautiful has a refining effect. A taste for music, poetry, pic tures, etc , tends to destroy the attrac tion for the vulgar. A home of beauty, of taste and refinement always tends to elevate and ennoble the mind, and cultivate the spirit ot contentment. B9auty fills the world, as well ea heaven, if we only have eyes to see it. It is open to all. The rose Is as fragrant, the lily as white and the hya cinth as delicately blue, when culti vated by the poor, as by the jeweled fingers of the wealthy.

Don't bother about being either brilliant or reasonab'e. For some inscrutable reason a man pre fers to think that while he is reason incarnate, a woman has no reason whatever only intuition. It's a harmless delusion and let him enj jy it. And so, while the clear, cold light ot reason shines like a search light In your brain keep it to your self.
