It is gratifying to note that Kinston is to have a $100,000 cotton mill. For years this section, as compared with the West, has seemed asleep. Eastern North Carolina. Yet durin a11 this time has been making a steady advance industrially. Now it has caught tne spirit and bids fair to be the favorite section of the State. Many reter to our climate as fever-producing, but scientists have long since des troyed this objection by showing us how to rid ourselves of the germ carrying mosquito. Observation will show that the East has not nearly so much Typhoid as sections farther west. The temperature here varies less, perhaps, than that of any other section of our continent. We have very few extremes, of hot or cold, wet or dry. Tne soil in most communi ties is rich. With proper attention the East will one day be an ideal sec tion!

Moral issues bring together men of different churches and different parties and make them one in the defense of the home against the .foul hand of the liquor traffic." The writer has seen nothing more significant of the predomi nance of morality than the above from the North Carolina BaptisT. The time has come when the whole State, regardless of former political views, will unite in the effort to free itself of an evil which has unbalanced the minds of so many strong men and ruined so many homes. "Prohibition does not prohibit;" neither does the law against . murder, nor the ancient law against trespass. Each lessens an evil and prevents the annoyance of third parties. Marconi has at last announced the completion of his wireless telegraphy system. He says that he will within a few weeks commence a commercial NarCOni trans-Atlantic wireless service. His announc ed rates are low as compared with the rates of the cable system; and, it seems, must mean eventual death fornhese old systems. At the same time it means a great deal for the world of news papers. It is well to note, in this connection, that persistence spells suc- C2ss. lhis is shown, not only by the . the Atlantic cable, but by the seemingly hopeless task of this Italian in o discovery and completion of wircfess telegraphy. Taking- the sympa thetic vibrations of two tuning-forks as a working principle, he labored from one principle and its application , to another until, what seemed at first hopeless effort, was crowned by complete success. Thus we go from old to new and can scarcely realize the change. There is much in such an achievement to spur us on to greater effort. As Shakespeare said, "Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might gain, by fail ing to attempt." Success makes the following timely observations on the effort of our big corporations to create a panic and thus scare legislation into a "conser . . n , . vative" additude toward capital: "A recent "Made-to-Order Panics. , . . w . , ... , . . depression m Wall Street securities, which as sumed the bugaboo of a panic, was nothing more than the customary trick which gamblers and stock jobbers manipulate whenever they are brought face to face with the law. Ithas happened before. The reason why stocks are forced down by the financial tricksters is to frighten the public into re questing President Roosevelt to put a stop to the measures that will pre vent a future looting of the public by the Standard Oil Company, the To bacco Trust, and others, who had forced down the values of certain indus trials, which had already attained unusually abnormal and unseasonable prices. These concerns stood to lose millions on paper, but they expected that their trick would throw many small brokers into the street, cause banks to fail, and create a -general run of hard times such as, it will be re membered, occured in 1S93! As a result there were no failures. The na tural prosperity of the country prevented that. When the whole thing boiled down to a nut-shell, the President simply said to the companies, 'You must obey the law.' That is the whole force and purpose of his ac tion. Nothing more; nothing less. If the railroads would attend to their business of railroading, and not become the mere gambling chips of Wall Street; if they would go ahead in an absolutely legitimate way and divorce themselves from, the quotation board; if they would obey the laws, prevent rebating and graft, they would not stand in fear of the President and the noDle This can be done, and we beg to quote no less eminent an author- ity than Andrew Carnegie.

To deal plainly with this awful curse we will say that- whiskey "not strong drink" does damn the precious souls of our fellowmen. One of the most awful things that is before the human eye tc- aay is to see our citizens going in and out of the damning places, and then if you try to protect the poor fellow by denouncing these evils he pretends to "get mad and some times is guilty of threatening that fellow, with bodily injury. It is no use to try to hurt this man, be cause if you tried your conscience would say to you "Thou shalt do thy friend no harm." There are some men that are slaves to the awful drink habit and they realize that the end is death, and they plead for help. Now who is the man that would not do all he could to get this awful enemy out of that man's way. He is almost powerless being bound by the serpent of the devil and those of us that are free should certainly do all we can to release - these friends of ours. Oh the other hand there are others who are be coming bound by this awful ser pent, but he gets mad if you talk about moving whiskey out of his way. "Yes, he has the assurance that he will stop before he is a drunkard like that other fellow he has jn mind, but a few years later if you find him down in a drunken wallow he does not get mad if you take him up and carry him home and then, he says, "I wished I had never seen a drop." Those who think they want it, do not want it, and certainly do not need it, so the thing we want to do is to put it entirely out of the State. It seems like that is the only remedy; so let everybody be agitat ing this question ior in my mind it will not be long before you have the chance of voting for State pro hibition. Other States are doing it and as "The Old North State" ntciiiua ctiicau m aiiiiost ovci jtimig else it would be a shame for her to lag behind in this important thing. Our noble Governor who has won so much fame in recent weeks is a temperance man and when our leader is pushing forward to try to stamp" out this awful curse we certainly should be encouraged to go forward in this great movement and we are. " We talk to men every day and we can see that " their hearts are burning with a desire to see this evil stopped. Give this your careful attention for the time is soon coming when you will have a chance to vote on this ques tion. Manners Make the Boy. (American Eoj-.j The manager of a big traction com pany in Chicago not long ago sent word to the superintendent of the special delivery bureau of the post- office that there was something about the manner and bearing of one of the boy carriers of the division that he liked. He needed a good boy, and asked the superintendent to send the young man to his office. That boy was employed and today is working his way rapidly to the best positions that the company has to offer. It was not long before the incident was repeated and two boys found good positions that they are still holding. The traction magnate knew noth ing about either of the boys more than that their work in the special delivery bureau had brought them to his office. Both boys, by their be havior and general make-up, impress ed the head of the office and impell ed him to offer them positions. Another boy from the same de partment was sent on repeated errands to one of the strongest banks in Chicago. The president noticed him", obtained an interview with him-and finally employed him in a position from which he could ,work himself to the top of tho ladder. Not very long after that one of the officers of a greatf bank in Den ver asked the aid of the Chicago bank in finding a first-class cashier. The letter that answered the Denver banker carried the name of the- boy who had begun his career in the special delivery department of our distinguished Uncle Samuel, and that boy is uow at the cashier's desk of one of the most powerful banks of the Rocky Mountain region.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the Des Moines Capital the following very pertinent suggestion as to why the mail order houses succeed in get ting the business 'of the rural com munities away from local merchants: "If the mail order houses get $1,000 out of this county each month that belongs to the home merchants the fault is with the merchants themselves. The mail order houses advertise and give us prices on every thing they offer for sale. They tell us what they have and what they want for it. Of course we get soak ed once in a while and if we do we can try some other house. Most of the home merchants who advertise at all don't quote prices. They neg lect to tell us what we want to know the price. Of course we can go to the store and ask the price of this article,' and that, but you know how it is one doesn't know so well exactly what he wants to buy when he gets in a store as when he is at home. And there is where the mail order houses make their hit. They send their advertising matter into homes and we read it when we have nothing else to do and every mem ber of the family who reads their stuff usually finds something that he or some other member of the fam ily wants and many orders are made up and sent out juetatsuch times. "Right here is where the home merchant falls down. If he talked up his business to us in our homes the same as the mail order houses do the people, would be in -to see him the next time they came to town, and in many cases extra trips would be made to get the things at once that we didn't know we wanted until they were brought to our attention. "The home merchant can save the expense of getting up a catalogue. We -people read the home papers more carefully than we do the cata logue, and if the merchant wants to taiK Dusinoss witn us let mm put nis talk in the home papers, and put it in so that we know he means busi ness. The home merchant likely, nine times out of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the mail order houses, and I believe on -many things they are much cheaper but how are we to know if he doesn't tell us about it. "A merchant must not think that even his best customers know his good3 so well that they can tell what he has without being shown. "It is none of my business how the home merchant runs his business, but I don't like to see these roasts in the papers all the time about us fel lows who get-a little stuff shipped in once in awhile and never anything said cn the other side. There are alwaj's two sides of a question, and I have given you mine. If it is worth anything to you you can take it." A Truthful Boy. Robert Burdette says, "How peo ple do trust a truthful boy! We never ' worry about him when he is out of sight. We never say, 'I won der where he is; I wish I knew what he is doing; I wonder whom he is with; I wonder why he doesn't come home.' Nothing of the sort. We know that he is all right, and that when he comes home we will know all about it and get it straight. We don't have to ask him where he is going or how long he will be gone every time he leaves the house. We don't have to call him back and make him 'solemnly promise' the same thing over and over. When he says, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't,' just once, that settles it." HIS DEAR OLD MOTHER. "My dear old mother, who is now eighty three years old, thrives on Elec tric Bitters" writes W. B. Burnson, of Dublin, Ga. "She has t aken t hem fur about two years and enjoys an excellent appetite, feels strong and sleeps well."

The cool snap which followed the autmnal equinox and sent the mer cury down to 46 in New York and 42 in Asheville caused many prognos ticators to look for an early frost. The cotton fields are teeming with green and growing bolls, and if the general killing frost should come within the month of October it is certain that it would greatly shorten an already short cotton crop. But this, of course, is mere speculation. With the exception of the few cool days mentioned, the week's weather has been fine. Over the entire Cotton Belt, showers have al ternated with pleasant weather, one effect of which is to give promise of fine stands of clovers and grains that were seeded in September and early October. Cotton is still "filling out" as opening and picking proceed. Cotton prices which had been weakening under great pressure in New York and by the bear allies over the country have rallied and taken an upward turn. While noth ing like so many bales have gone to market this year as last year for the same date, still the farmers are marketing more cotton than they should in view of the short price and the prospects for higher figures. In fact, the indications and the confi dence that 15 cents will be reached are so strong, that it is believed that the bear speculators in many cases are buying cotton to hold. "Never," .said an experienced auctioneer, "have I known so much tobacco bought by speculators as they are buying now." This is taken as an augury of better prices, though tobacco figures throughout The Progressive Farmer's territory have been fairly satisfactory, averaging something like 10 cents in North Carolina to 11 1-2 cents in South Car olina, where the market is earlier and the better grades have been coming in. The Virginia markets are doing finely, and there, as in North Carolina, the only thing likely f.n donrnss the rrmrkrt i the hurried marketing of leaf improperly con ditioned. In Eastern North Caroli na, the determination to hold off for better prices is shown in a marked falling off of sales. One auctioneer says the sales for last week were only half as large a3 for the week before. OUT OF SIGHT. "Out of sight, outof mind, "is an old saying which applies with special force to a soi-e, burn or wound that's been treated with Bucklon's Arnica Salve.
