The Department of Agriculture
ordered a new cotton acreage
report to take the place of the
one issued June 3rd. The new
report was made public Wednes
day and showed the decrease in
cotton acreage to be 14.9 per
cent, instead of 11.4 per cent.,
the figures of the June report.
This is quite a difference and
shows how Holmes and his as
sociates manipulated and twist
ed the figures to suit certain cot
ton brokers. The new report
shows the reduction in North
Carolina to be 1<> per cent.

Bent Her Double.
"1 knew no one, for four weeks,
when I was sick with typhoid
and kidney trouble," write Mrs.
Annie Hunter, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
"and when I got better, although
I had one of the best, doctors 1
could get, 1 was bent double, and
. had to rest mv hands on my
knees when I walked. From this
terrible affliction I was rescued
by Electric Bitters, which restored
my health und strength, and
now I can walk as straight as
ever. They are simply wonder

At Rest.
The announcement of the
d^atb of Mis. L. K. Waddell in
last week's issue brought a feel
ing of personal loss to many lov
ing friends iu the community.
Mrs. Wad dell had been in declin
ing health for the past few years,
but so great was her energy of
mind and body, that only beritn?
mediate family knew how frail ami
feeble she was, and when in Feb
ruary last she suffered a stroke
of paralysis which rendered her a
helpless invalid, little hope could
be entertained of even a partial
recovery.
From week to week she was
tenderly nursed by anxious fami
ly, loving friends, and ber faith
ful physician, but it was evident
the answer was only a question
of time; and at the expiration of
fifteen weeks, it became evident
she must have even more skilled
attention, and she was removed
to the Wilson Sanatorium, where
every thing humnu knowledge,
and kind hands could do, was
done to prolong her life. Fre
quently her family were at her
bedside and although she ling
ered for eight weeks so gradual
was her decline, that on Tuesday
it was thought she might yet
have some weeks of life, but on
Wednesday morning as though
iu llight, the Augel of Death wrote
the word, "I'eace," on her brow
as she slept.
Mrs Waddell was in her seven
ty-first year, and during her long
illness, repeatedly expressed a
wish to be free?commending her
soul to God, she would pra.y
aloud, pleading for release?with
out fear, with the patience and
courage of a Christian soldier
she awaited the end. Her life '
was a long one. filled with chari
ty and good deeds, and her
tender loving sympathy ran out
to all mankind. She believed '
evil of no one, and her tongue 1
was the law of kindness.
Horn of the Aristocracy of the
Old South, her manners, customs 1
and ideas, were those of a past
generation; carefully educated,
and possessing many natural
gifts her young womanhood was
one of place and distinction, and
throughout her life there advan- 1
tages and gifts of mind and
heart, spoke ever for culture, re
finement and thegeueral upliftiug 1
of the community in which she
dwelt. Many are the testimonies
of her high ideals and noble
character, ner love of duty well
ilone, right for right's sake, her
clear vision of justice, and a
broad charity which covered all
mankind and many times caus
ed her to exclaim "1 love my fel
low beiug." 1
She loved to do good, by na
ture unselfish and warm hearted, ,
all humanity was her friend, i
I'hy neighbor as thyself, might (
have been her watchword, so
faithfully did she live up to its
message.
The silent tearful faces, of j
many friends who met her re- (
mains, when the train arrived
from Wilson on Monday night,
bespoke the esteem in which the j
community held her.
Mrs. Waddell before her mar
jiage was Miss Olivia Wright,
daughter of Mr. John Wright, of i
Wayne county and married Mr. i
Waddelljon the 24th of February i
1859.
Her body was placed in the
Kpiscopal church which had
been dear to her for many years,
and the burial for the dead was
read on Thursday afternoon at
0 o'clock. The interment in the
Suiithtield cemetery took place,
as the long shadows fell, which
proclaimed the evening at hand.
Rest, was written upon the air,
her sweet spirit shall know it
forever.
The sympathy of the commun
ity is extended to the aged hus
band, our esteemed and honored
friend, Hon. L. R. Waddell, and
to his bereaved daughter, Mrs.
Gilmtr Hrenizer. M.

The service of the Kmitbtleld

improved wonderfully since Mr.
