Hut for the gen eral sale of mules in the cotton licit these are not the animals, and mares of good-blocky shaje mated to medium-sized jacks will lc best for any one intending to supply I he general Southern demand. One endeavoring to raise mules in the South should gie his attention entirely to the cotton mules and let the Missouri and Kentucky breeders furnish what, demand there is for heavy mules. Now, as to the best sections of North Carolina for raising mules, I would say that any of the moun tain valleys are suitable, and all the rolling uplands of the upir Piedmont section, west of the main line of the Southern Railway. In fact, if I were intending to raise mules in North Carolina I would select first the valleys of Chero kee and Macon, the counties of Ashe ami Alleghany, and then in the Piedmont section I would pre fer the counties of Catawba, Hurke, McDowell. Uutherford and For syth. One family with the business and with the "lest breeding stock to produce the cotton mule could make a very remunerative business in any of these counties. Hut why should any farmer who is engaged in the growing of cot ton, keep only mules on his farm? Why should not every farmer in the cotton Udt raise hisown mules rather than tax the cotton crop with everything? And yet there are hundreds, nay thousands, of farms in the South on which there is not a breeding animal, mules ami mules only, and when new mules are needed it makes a big hole in the cotton crop to buy them, while the cost of a mule or two grown on the farm would hardly be felt, and the marcs would Ik as available in the cotton field as the mules. If the South ern cdtton growers arc ever to at tain the indcienden.t positions of real fanners they must realize that live stock raising in some form lies at the very foundation of improving agriculture. The pros leet is that with the growing de mand for cotton, the price of the staph will never again touch the low figures it has in past years. Hut if is not in an exclusive devo tion to cotton, even high-priced cotton, that the development of Southern agriculture is to be work ed out. Taking the whole cotton licit the average crop of cotton is about 200 iunds per acre one sea son with another. On frm Froai Cotta: 0 Fn Stock. And yet there are thousands of farmers who make a bale per acre and here and thenc a good farmer who makes two bales in favor able season. So that the average is made by those who never make a laying crop. And these are the several classes, and will be conveniently connected with the rear of the church.

The next thing will be a splendid building for a gymnasium, read ing rooms and class study and en tertainments. The young people are thrilled with the movement.' To Stanl the Test. (Yonng People's Weekly.) Kvery yard of cloth that goes to make a uniform for the navy is tested for flaws. How ashamed Uncle Sam would lx to have one of his boys of Uie men-of-war ap lear in some foreign ort with a shabby hole in the arm of the blouse! There must be no flaws in the cloth; such is the order of the Navy Department. Accordingly, the thousands of bales of woolen material, before being worked up, are rigidly ex amined bv cloth inspectors. A ma-J chine is used for the purpose. In this contrivance the cloth is reeled from the bolt over rollers geared to a dial, which measures the length of a piece of goods in yards. As the cloth passes down over the rollers, the examiner marks any holes or imperfections with tailor's chalk. Hesides, each bolt is submitted to a physical and chemical test. A small strip is taken from the bolt and set into the machine. It is caught with a firm grip in a set of jaws, which can be tighten ed so as to stretch the fabric. A dial indicates the breaking strain, which varies according to the size and weight of the cloth. The navy requires that blue trou sers cloth stand a strain of sixty pounds to the square inch. All this to detect flaws in uni forms! How much greater should be the qare we ought to take in detecting anything detrimental to the fabric of our characters! In these days of scientific investiga tion, and keen observation on the part of business men, it is recog nized that only sound, honest character will stand the test of life. The "shoddy" places caused by socalled small indulgences, are bound to show in the wear and tear. The young man of today needs to keep every inch of his character-fabric up to the all-wool firmly woven standard, if be is to stand Uie test that will be imposed upon him in the years of service.

So father then asked me if he attempted .to assault me. I told him that he had forced him self uon me. I tried to resist him, I tried to push, him off; I screamed, but I suppose no one heard me; that I resisted all . I could, but I could not keep him back; that he forced himself upon me; and that I then lost conscious ness and didn't remember anything after that until I was at Mrs. Kidd's house that night. When I told father he got so white and un natural looking t lat it scared me. I ran ut to mother and told her I believed I had killed my father." The Cross-Examination. At the conclusion of her state ment, Miss Loving regained her composure and the cross-examination by the prosecution began. Attorney Daniel Harmon pre sented a map of the country 6ver which the buggy ride was taken, and asked that the witness fix the point where Estes gave her a drink. She could not remember exactly, but designated the neighborhood. She was then asked where the as sault occurred, to which she re plied that it was after she and Kstes had turned up the moun tain road. "When did you remember gain ing consciousness?" "During the night at Mrs. Kidd's." s "Do you remember telling Mrs. Kidd that you had taken too large a drink and that you did that once before at Hellevue?" "No." "Did you not .get out of the buggy and walk up the steps and into the house without any assis tance?" "No." "On the next "morning did you see Miss Shelton, the dressmaker?" "Yes." "Did Miss Shelton come up to take your measure for a dress?" "Yes." "Did not Mrs. Estes, mother of Theodore, come to see you on the day after the assault and give you a cup of chocolate?" "Yes." "Did you not take breakfast at the home of Mrs. Kidd on the following morning?" "Yes."

J (Progressive FarmeJ.) Dr. W. D. Hunter, Government Entomologist, and the most emi nent authority in the world on the boll weevil, was in New Orleans a few days ago on his way from Dallas, Texas, to Washington. D. C. Hefore leaving he gave out the following statement about the. tre mendous increase of the boll ; wee vil: "The mild winter and the wet spring have leen exceptionally favorable to the boll weevil and they have increased amazingly. From my observations and from the observations of my assistants I calculate that there are thirty times more weevils at Uie present time than there were at this; time last year. The propagation of the weevil was materially assisted by the greatquantity of 'volunteer' cotton in Texas this spring, the winter being so mild that much cotton, even as far as North Texas was not killed. The weevil now extends from San Antonio to the river in Louisiana, and for a dis tance of seventy miles up into the Indian Territory." Is Whiskey Indispensable to Health and Happiness of a Community?

One whole block of the Pine Heach sec tion, immediately adjoining the Jamestown exposition grounds, was swept by fire today. The Arcade hotel, Herkeley ho tel, Outside inn, Powhatan hotel, Carolina hotel, several other smal ler hotels, and a large part of the outside warpath were destroyed. The loss may aggregate $300, 000. Ketween 40 and 50 structures Were entirely consumed. On 102nd street ten were swept away. A like number were des troyed on Maryland avenue, and on 103rd street it is estimated about 20 structures were burned. Pobably 1,000 people arc home less. Captain Carpenter, with the Powhatan guards and Sheriff Cromwell, with his force, are do ing their utmost to relieve the dis tress. It is reported that two lives were lost but the report can not be confirmed. What Mark Twain Wanted. Mark Twain once wrote to An drew Carnegie as follows: "My dear Mr. Carnegie: I see by the papers that you re very prosperous. I want to g1et a hymn-book. It costs two dollars. I will bless you, God will j bless you, and it will do a great deal of good. Yours truly, Mark Twain." "P. S. Don't send me the hymn-book; send me the two dol lars." Maxims. If you can't sjxeak well ofiyour neighbors; do not speak of jthem at all. ! Across neighbor may be made a kind one by kind treatment. The true way to !e happyj is to make others happy. To do good is a luxury. If you are not wiser and better at the end of the day, that day is lost. m Practice kindness, even jit be but a little each day. A,boy saved himself from pun ishment the other day by an apt pun upon a familiar quotation.
