In an address at Pinehurst before the Southern Education Conference, Governor Glenn said that the President of the United States is the great est ruler because A Timely Correction. the importance of the office. Newspapers reported that Governor Glenn said that President Roosevelt is the greatest ruler on earth. Of course Gov ernor Glenn promptly corrected the mistake, and all the papers that print ed the error should take pains to correct it. Mr. John Temple Graves declared in a speech at a banquet in Chat tanooga a few nights ago that at the next National Democratic Convention Mr. Graves' Strange DecIar. Mr-Wjlliam Jennings Bryan should nominate oMn.. - Mr- Theodore Roosevelt for the next President dUUIl. . . of the United States. There were several in congruous phases to Mr. Graves' declaration. One was that Mr. Bryan himself was the guest of honor of the occasion'. Another was that Mr. Graves was speaking to Southern Democrats and asking them to endorse as their candidate the head of the Republican party in the nation. It came in bad grace for Mr. Graves to make such a declaration at all, and espec ially in the presence of Mr. Bryan who was the guest of honor. Mr. Graves will hardly have any followers in his most unreasonable contention. Collier's has raised the question or guess, "What will President Roose velt do after1909?" From what many have expressed concerning the After 1909. dent expires. Collier's has asked all like to have the President join their number of the Senators, every one expressing a favorable opinion of it, except Ben Tillmam. Here's what he says: "It would be presumptous in me to advise the people of New York as to what they ought to do or what kind of a man they ought to send to represent them in the Senate. If President Roosevelt, after his retirement from the White House, should be elected Senator, it would be a revelation to him as to What kind of a body the Senate is, and also to the country as to what sort of a man he is. "This must be a great country to meat, meal and other things shipped East Carolina a Great Country. named by the citizen quoted and other things that ought to be produced here at home. Many people will argue that farmers can do better by rais ing money crops almost altogether and buy western corn and hay for their stock; and perhaps one may find a farmer here and there who seems to do well on that system, "but where one farmer succeeds on that plan fifty will fail. The Commonwealth holds that two barrels of corn in a farmer's own crib are worth three that have to come from some other man's crib; and it seems almoSt safe to say that two barrels at home are worth four barrels anywhere else. Home supplies and home independence are the only safe and sure motto for the southern farmer. We believe the tim is not far distant when Eastern Carolina will be one of the most prosper ous and independent sections in North Carolina. When one speaks of the rapid strides in the State's development he generally refers to Piedmont Carolina; but it only remains for the farmers of this part of the State to learn the possibilities that lie about them and this section will measure up with any other part of the State. Indeed in some things Eastern Carolina leads already. The ease with which our lands can be cultivated is one of the great advantages over other parts of the State. To be a progressive farmer in Eastern North Carolina means a great deal now, and we believe ten years from now it will mean still more. The meeting of the Southern Education Board at Pinehurst last week was indeed a great gathering. We have read carefully the reports of the The Pinehurst Meeting. cators attended from many States, and all the papers read and address es delivered were on a high plane. There has been considerable prejudice in some parts of the State against what has been termed the "Ogden move ment;" but that prejudice should pass kees," as some have called them, had pour out a flood of charity upon our people because of our ignorance, we might bowingly thank them and say that we do not accept it that way. But they have not come in that spirit. cooperators and colaborers with the Southern people for the betterment of those who need help who need better educational facilities and some good suggestions about how to appreciate and utilize the facilities they already have. And when friends come in this spirit bringing some money with them they are entitled to the cordial welcome which was extended to them by Governor Glenn and others. The truth is, the majority of those who took an active and prominent part in the meeting, or conference, were Southern men. By the coming together of prominent educators and strong men of the North and the South in such a meeting, each will be able the better to understand the other. The Governor's wise attitude con cerning our own ability to take care of our own interest, but appreciation of the good will of any who wish to help us, made a profound impression upon the meeting, for it was in the proper spirit of personal independence and at the same time courteous acknowledgment of the go6d will of our friends at the North. It was a great meeting and must be productive of good. "Pneumonia's Deadly Work had so seriously aflectecl my right lung, ( writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of Rural Route 1.

FLUE0U Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger There are three ways used by far mers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely, sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured ; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re tain the heat, and there kept in the proper temperature until this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.

(Savannah N.ws.j Perhaps the most unique cabbage patch on record is that of Thomas J. Winn of No. 127 Libery street, west, one of the oldest engineers in the employ of the Southern Railway. The pitti-H is daily visited by the curious. The "patch"is a half-barrel, thesides pierced by thirty-six augur hoks, and on this limited space grow thirty nine choice cabbages just ready to "'hire'" If planted in the conven tional way the cafctraff would extend along a row necessarily mor J than fi fty feet in length. As it is, they occupy' 2 SftCP not much more than a square foot in erea Zf.6 tho half barrel is only thirty inches high. rlach cabbage plant grows in a separate augul' h? except three which adorn the top of the barrel which is the result of an accident Coupled with the sudden freeze which oceiifi td in December last. Mr. Winn had prepared the barrel f or sLrawberries and the plants were in a healthy state when the freeze suddenly ended their existent. The- crop was then by merest acci dent changea to fc'sbbftjres and Mr. Winn had better luck with tne sefond planting. The question of watering the cabbages is solved by a wooded Cube extending from top to bottom of the barrel, inside, anil prced with augur holes in every direction. Thew jl- ter poured into the tube reaches every plant. If merely poured into the bar rel it would reach only the top plants. Every second day Engineer Winn takes his big engine to Jacksonville and returns, and the other days he spends tending his truck farm, as he designates the half barrel hidden in a bank of green leaves.

Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the kind of tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
