Tr BY ALL DRUGGISIS EVERYWHERE POSTAL SAVINGS EAKIL i-eLmcry B:;pnsit ct Salisbury Iss'ltu Unn Greater Than January. Postmaster W. H Hobson, of the Salisbury postoffice, is very much gratified with the growing interest of' the people in the Postal Savings System recently established here, as an experiment by the government. To The Po3t he stated to-day that in one day alone last week the deposits were more than during the entire month of January, and at the clos? ol the month tomorrow afternoon the deposit for February will be more than three times that of the preceding month. Mr. Hobson argues from this that the people are just finding out that the system is being operated at Sal isbury, and he feels that as they iearn more about it the deposits will increase the more. The depos itors last week, he says, were large ly new ones. Mr. W. T. Rsttz, one of the clerks in the office, was designated by Mr. Hobt-xn to take charge of the system and he i i enthusiastic over its work ing. He declares it a most excellent way to save money. The faith of the United States is solemnly pledged to the payment of deposits made in this department which makes it a very safe proposi tion. Depositors can place in this sav ings system as much as $500 and it will bear 21 per cent interest, anri deposits may be made by persons 10 years old or over in the person' own name. A depositor will be permitted to exchange the whole or any part of d -posit:; in sums of $20, $40, $60, 950, $100, or multiplies of $100 up :.o and including $500 into United States registered or coupon bonds bearing interest at the rate of2J percent annum, payable semiannual ly, an.l redeemable at the pleasurt l the United States after one year :?rom data of issue, both principal an.i interest payable z) years irorc .1 .v. 7- ' .1 Ot - 1 .Such exchange may be made undei '.'ate of January 1 and July 1 of ach year, provided such bonds are then available.

Scotra E SCOTLAND FAMINE AND PLAGUE M CHINA. Dcntli Rats Numbers Two Hundred Dai ly and ttie Worst is Net Knswn. reKing. jviarch z. famine and the plague are sweeping over China The known deaths from the plague number 30,000 and according to the official statistics, the death rate averages 200 daily. But the officials have little knowledge of conditions in the interior, or, if they have, they are not permitting the facts to be known. It is impossible even to estimate the number of deaths that have re suited from lack of food. Dr. Sam uel Cochran, an American, who is engaged in the work of relief writes "One million people will die be fore the first crop is harvested. This will be scanty, because the peo pie have not the strength to till the soil and no animals remain for plow ing." The Chinese are directing their ef forts to control the plague chiefly along the railways and frontiers, for political reasons. Since the recent Russian request for permission to cross the border and quarantin Chinese towns along the Amur, China has been attempting to check the plague along that frontier, but the Russian legation says that this has been done ineffectively because there are no doctors there who are familiar with modern methods of sanitation. Police authorities, including the police and soldiers, in former epidem ics left the people to die; now they do not care or do not know to main tain adequate sanitary measures. Japanese and Russians have both of fered assistance but only in a few places have these offers been accept ed, the Chinese not liking to receive favors frum foreigners whose politi cal motives they distrust. Physicians engaged in combating the disease are of the opinion that warm weather wiil kill the germs, although this may bring only a tem porary respite. It is said by the r.e die.! authorities that such an epi lemic as the one present, which is entirely pneumonia, has not visited the world since the middle ages. Owing to the political question in volved and presence of foreigners dong the railways, the plague in Manchuria is receiving greater at tention than the famine, but the leath rate from the famine is many times greater than that from the plague. The famine is the result of the destruction of the crops by a fall of 16 inches of rain in two days last August in a district where the people ordinarily have a hand-to-cnouth existence. So far Japan and America are the only foreign countries that have con tributed to aid the sufferers, but even the extensive assistance that has come from the United States is entirely inadequate. It is estimated that 2,000,000 people are without food and are existing on roots, grass 2S or anything that affords the slightest possibility of nourishment. Those possessing grain guard it day and night. Missionaries who are distributing relief tell of many tragic occurrances a man on his way to meet them dying on the road; another falling by the wayside as he was returning to his family with a packet of rice. They describe the people as horrible skeletons, some of them with limbs hideously swollen. From the famine the death rate is S3veral thousand daily. Sons cf Great Men. Great men apparently cast their shadows not only before, but behind them, judging from the records of their sons at the Harvard law school. Cornelius W. Wickersham, son of the attorney-general, was graduated 1 ast year cum laude, after having served as associate editor of the Harvard Law Review, the best law monthly in the country, for two years. As if to maintain the Repub lican succession to office, the elect ion of Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., of the second-year class, to the Re view has been announced. Young Huhfs made a brilliant record, ob taining five A's and a B out of a possible six A's. Judge Julian V. Mack, who has been mentioned for the vacancy in the Supreme court bench, is too young to have a son in the law school; but his counterfeit presentment, in the shape of a younger brother, Robert Tandier Mack, now in his third year at the school, ranks among the first four of his class and bids fair to outstrip his famous brother. It remains for Robert Taf t, the eldest son of school this year, to maintain the high standard set by the sons and broth ers of his father's contemporaries, Leslie's Weekly. NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1911. WHAT f.lEN SUCIEE0. A Factor Tbat is Too Infrequently Ac knowledges "Why my wife is due all my sue cess." That is the confession'freely made by the president of a big oil company last week, just after he had sold his holdings for $3,000,000 and given $200,000 to the university of Pittsburg, where he was once a student. How many successful men there are who know in their hearts that the same thing is true of themselves yet hew few confess it! Some read ily make the acknowledgement to their wives but it is not often that the man who has"achieved place and power is willing to confess publicly. Pride, selfishness and the satisfaction of being regarded by their fellows as exceptional men , hold them back. Others are so blinded by egotism that they do not realize the truth. It is not hard for a man to perceive nd admit the part his wife plays in his successes if she hapens to posess a knowledge of business and is thor oughly informed in the affairs of the world, Her held is direct and so immediately affective that it cannot fail of recognition. But such cases are few. The average wife and mo ther has had neither the opportunity nor the inclination to become famil iar with business, and she has no time to indulge in extensive study of such matters. Yet in a great num ber of cases if her husband is pros perous it is because of her efforts and her judgement. When they were married probably they had little. Who was it that saved the money which enabled him to make his first investment or to en gage in business for himself? His wife" She saw to it that the house hold expenses were kept down to the owest limit compatible with health and comfort. Sne economized and she made him economise. More than all, she kept him free from vice and moral unclean! iness, watched over his health, soothed away the bitterness of defeatsard inspired in I him the strength to perserve with a cheerful heart. If a man has arisen to be the head of a great corporation or has become . a leading light in one of the profes- sions, or it ne nas acnievea tne more mportant success of establishing a grood American home, let him ask himself the question: What would he be if it had not been for his wife? f he is candid with himself, a good many unpleasant passibinties win present themselves to his mind. He will have to acknowledge that in all probability he would have "gone wrong," Cleveland Ledger. Quickly Cures Coughs, Ccids and Catarrh. If you, dear reader, could spend an hour looking over a few of the thousands of testimonials that we have on file, you would not go on uffering from catarrh, that disgust ing disease that will surely sap your VI tality and weaken your entire sys- ;em if allowed to continue. You would have just as much faith in HYOMEl as we have, and wo have so much confidence in its won- erful curative virture that it is- sold the country ever under a posi tive guarantee to cure catarrh, croup, sore throat, coughs and colds or money back. No stomach dosing when you breathe H YO M EI . J ust pour a few drops of the liquid into the inhaler, and breathe it in. It is mighty pleasant to use; it opens up those stuffed-up nostrils in two minutes, and makes your head feel as clear as a bell in a short time. Breathe HYOMEl and kill th catarrh germs. It's the only way to cure catarrh. It's the only way to get rid of that constant hawking, snuffling and spitting. A complete HYOMEl outfit, which includes a bottle of HYOMEl and a hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs $.00 at E. T. Whitehead Company and druggists everywhere. If you already own a Hyomei inhaler you can get an extra bottle of HYOMEl for 50 cents. "We have used HYOMEl in our family for the cure, and breaking up of coughs, colds, sore throat and catarrhal affections, and can say that it is a grand remedy worth its weight in gold."

Why does the residence cf the prime minister of the kingdom re semble the dwelling of a retired gro cer of simple tastes? The reply to this is forthcoming. It does r.ot only pretends to resemble the dwel ling of a retired grocer. No. 10 Downing street begins to reveal it self as a surprise packet when you have rung one of its three bells and persuaded its front door to open. You then discover yourself in an en trance hall whose mats, walls and general shabbiness would be the in stant ruin of a Bloornsbury temper ance hotel, and you perceive that you have unwittingly done an injus tice to the retired grocer, at any rate no English grocer, would tolerate such a kennel. But when you have penetrated a little farther, and especially when you have mounted the first flight of stairs, you will be ready to remodel your views once again. Within thirty seconds you will have lost your bear ings. Within sixty you will admit that you are in a palace full of be wildering corridors and endless sumptuosity, with here and there a glimpse of some immense and stately. apartment. No. 10 Downing street begins just exactly where you might have expected it to finish. Its ram ifications are innumerable, its geog raphy an enigma even to the most ancient janitor.

You can make money by getting a good rooster right now. Mate him with some of your best hens and set the eggs. Your basket will get full a lot faster after those pullets get to laying. Particularly at this season of the after sitting a week or two. As the weather is still cold, not more than eleven eggs should be given a hen. When a larger number is allowed, the eggs are not sufficient ly covered, and those on the outer edge3 of the clutch are likely to be come chilled. March Farm Journal. " A Child'sldsa. Unfamiliarity with money gives children a queer idea of the value of certain coins. A 50-cent piece drop- ped from the pocket of a visitor in a downtown school and was return- ed by a small girl with the remark: "Here sir, is your $10." The man laughed in spite of him- self, but the teacher looked sad. "Poor little things, she sail." "How can you expect them to know any better?
