James Samuel Amzi Hunter, for 22 years a missionary of the As sociated Reformed Presbyterian church to Mexico, died one day last Let the peas grow .till the pods turn yellow, and then there is no hay more easy to cure well than cowpeas, notwithstanding all the talk about the difficulty in curing them. Thev will cure if von inst - let them, and do not go to monkey ing with all sorts of contrivances to spoil them. I had a lerter today from a farmer who said that he would not have barn room for his pea crop and wanted to know if they would keep well stacked. He really answered uwii question, as ne said mat a neighbor had stacked some when well wilted and limp, and thev heat ed and steamed. But to his surprise he found that they cured perfectly. If he had opened the stacks and tried to cool them off. he would doubtless have had mouldy hay. Mow the peas in the morning, and if possible put a tedder behind the mower to keep them tossed up and hasten the wilting. Rake the morn ing mowing into windrows that af ternoon. Turn them the next morn ing and let lie till afternoon, while cutting more. Cock them that af ternoon and when the hay in cocks can be taken and twisted hard and no sap runs to the twist, haul them in. If to go into stacks, make the stacks well and rake down the sides, but cover the tops of the stacks with straw or dry hay. This hay will cure, even if the stacks heat. Put some rails under the stacks to keep the hay off the ground and prevent it absorbing moisture from the ground, and have as good hay as in the barn. Progressive Farmer. TO PROTECT THE FORESTS. A Slatistical Stn3y ai The Wood-Using Industries of North Carolina. Flying For Health. The influence of even sporadic flight on the physical body and the health is remarkable. In balloon voy ages I have been in the air as long as four days at a time. Once I made voyage almost an invalid from rheumatism. 1 could scarcely raise my arms on a level with my head.

Rocky Mount Record. From the tortues of rheumatism that voyage conveyed me to the tor tures of hunger. I went to see a friend who was very low with consumption. I told him to go with me on a voyage and he would come back a well man. He shook his head, but I was persistent At last he went and for the first two hour3 in the air I thought he would bleed to death of hemorrhage. I felt like a murderer; but soon he began to change. The voyage was from St. Louis to the Atlantic coast. That was 20 years ago. He went back home and is still living, a robust man. I had another friend who cured a very bad case of iron and copper dust in the lungs by a few balloon voyages. World's Work. Gore's Chicken Yarn. Baby won't suffer five minutes with croup if you apply Dr. Thomas' Eclec tric oil at once. It acts like magic. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma is giv en credit for this story, told on his recent visit to a Methodist conven tion at St. Joseph. It is related by the Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of the Baptist church of Pleasant Hill, who happened to hear it. According to Senator Gore, there was an accomplised hen with a brood of chickens five roosters and five pullets. The chicks matured and went their various ways, while the mother hen busied herself with a new brood. In course of time Meth odist ministers came into the vicin ity of Chickenville to hold a confer ence, and, as might be suspected, the five young roosters, fat, yellow legged and extremely tender, were feasted upon by various and sundry preachers. The young pullets, left behind, were met by the mother hen a day or so later. "My children," she asked, "where are your broth ers?" "They have entered the ministry." Bracing herself from the shock of disclosure, a look of resignation spread over Biddy's countenance as she replied : "Well, my dears, perhaps it is all for the best. They would not have made . very good lay members any way." Pleasant Hill (Mo.) dispatch in Kansas City Star. Realizing the growing shortage in the supply of timber suitable for the use of our wood-using industries and the consequent gradual modifi cation in the requirements fixed by these consumers, and recognizing the value to both the producers and consumers of timber of a more inti mate knowledge of local market conditions, the North Carolina Geo logical and Economic Survey is now co-operating with the United States Forest Service inra statistical study of the wood-using industries of the State. Statistic cards will shortly be sent out from Washington to about four hundred North Carolina firms who use timber in various forms. Infor mation will be asked relating to the kinds of wood used and what it is used for; the amount in board feet, cords, etc., that is used, with the average cost delivered at the facto ry; whether the material is produced in this State, and if not, in what State or region it is grown; what are the products manufactured and in what markets are they sold. Information will also be asked as regards the form in which the raw materials of each kind of wood is desired, whether dimension stuff. boards, bolts, cord-wood, etc.; the grades of material required for the different uses, namely, size and qual ity; and the smallest sizes that can be profitably used for each specific purpose. This last question has in view the possible modification of re quirements, looking to a more com plete utilization of the timber now available. The data thus acquired will furn ish the basis for a report which is soon to be published by the State Geological and Economic Survey. It is intended in this report to in corporte a list of all the wood-using industries of the State. This will not only furnish a reliable market guide to all who have timber in its various forms to dispose of, but will be a valuable advertisement for the firms who may be listed. It is very desirable that this list be as complete as possible. The State Geologist, therefore, requests all firms con suming timber in any form in their factories, who do not receive a ques tion card within the next few days, to send their name and address to the Chief of Wood Utilization, For est Service, Washington, D. C, ask ing for a card of inquiry. It is expected that this report will have an excellent effect, by bringing the buyers and sellers of timber in North Carolina into closer touch and making them better acquainted with laws of demand and supply. Its in fluence will, however, be experienced far beyond the boundaries of the State, not only by making known the extent of our manufacturers, but by publishing the fact that the forests of our own State furnish, as they undoubtedly do, the greater part of the raw material used in our different industries. Our forests have too long been treated with indifference and neg lect, but when it can be realized that forest protection is not a mere mat ter of sentiment, but is business through and through, for on the forests depend the very life of many of our chief industries, then and then only will the producer and con sumer of timber join forces to pro tect and perpetate the source of timber supply.

Scotland Neck People Must Rec ognize and Heed It. Has Come to Stay. The disease that has afflicted dis tricts in Italy many years called pel- lagara, has probably been felt in this ountry at least twenty-five years. In those years its nature was not, however, understood. It was re ported under a variety of diagnoses, but it is now known and reported and classified as a distinct disease. Pellagra is a scaly eruption of the neck, face and wrists, accompanied by mental disorders, and the physi cians in Italy attribute its prevalences to the consumption of moldy corn. The cause of the disease has not, however, been fully ascertained. It is known to be contagious even to the point of an epidemic, and no doubt it will receive from the scien tists careful attention in the future. The eating of wet and moldy corn should be avoided on general princi ples, and especially should this be the case wherever a case of pellagra appears. The disease has been large ly confined to the South, but at pres ent the Marine Hospital service is in vestigating a case that arose in Peo ria, 111. Until some other cause is detected it is safer to consider the source of pellagra to be the eating of wet, unsound coni, and the sale of such corn should be regulated and, if possible, prevented, for unsound corn is unfit food for both man and beast. Goldsboro Argus. fame, and whether one likes the jux position or not, no one will deny that the two most distinguished sons of Virginia were George Wash ington and Robert E. Lee. Mural tablets to those two vestrymen of the parish adorn the walls of Christ Church, Alexandria. The two men were connections, also, for Lee mar ried a descendant by adoption of Washington, and there is a striking coincidence in the fact that each of them won his greatest military dis tinction by waging war against the government under which he was born. Washington's statue does not stand in Westminster Abbey, but it might have been there before this if our revolution had failed and we had remained a part of the British Em pire. Whether we regard the purity and dignity of Lee's character or his re markable capacity as a commander, we must recognize that he was not only one of the greatest of Virgin ians, but one of the greatest of Am ericans; a man whose moral qualities and whose professional genius, whose great successes with meager re sources' and whose sublime patience and self-possession in defeat com bine to reflect honor upon the Amer ican name. He resigned his commis sion m th United States army af ter, it is believed, having had the command of the Federal army offer ed to him and accepted a commis sion to fight against the United States. But to him his nation was Virgin ia; he believed that she was the country to whom he owed his allegi ance; he held that the United States were but a federation of sovereign nations which were as free to with draw from the federation as they were to enter it. This theory of the Constitution had been cherished by a large part of the American people, not wholly in the South, from the very date of the adoption of the Constitution. It is idle to pretend that it involved anything of dishonor. And, finally, it is to be re membered that it is Virginia, and not the nation, that pays this honor j to Lee. Philadelphia Record.

A newspaper, if it has any brains, conscience and muscle back of it, must continually decide between do ing its duty and injuring its pocket. In any position but that of editor the public is ab)e to separate the in dividual home from the collective citizen. But if an editor does not please them it is at his pockets they aim. Thus it is the newspapers learn who their friends are. The man who reads a newspaper and admires it all the year around, yet gives his business support to some other concern, is not a friend to the form er newspaper. There are too many j-men who expect an editor to slave in defense of their pet notions and hobbies, advocate their views against the strongest opposition and coolly withhold their business support, by which alone a country newspaper can live. Talk about a paper having a public duty to perform and an editor hav ing to work for his principle is cheap when others stand back and extend a luke-warm neutrality. Washing ton News. Relating to Glass Residences. "See that old guy yonder," asked one of the town toughs. "I do," responded a man whose paths are straighter. "Well, I heard him giving a young fellow fits the other day for smoking cigarettes, drinking corn licker and playing poker. The same is bad business and I am not defending or excusing any of it or all of it; but I merely call your attention to the fact that that old guy, sanctimonious, spiritual, righteous and holy, went before the tax-lister and swore a lie as big as a barn. He didn t give in half what he is worth. And yet he thinks he is as high over a tough as a star is above a tadpole. I would rather be guilty of all the things he vas cussing out than be guilty of swearing a bald headed lie in order to escape paying what might be my just part of the burdens of govern ment and society.
