SaOy latends to Contact Aa otber Campaiga. New York, March 15 -DuU J. Solly, deposed "king of cotton pit." has come into his owi again Upon the announcement on Mon day that ha had been discharged from bankruptcy, cotton began to •oar. Yesterday every bale of cot loam the United States increased la value at least sl, and to-day the advance continues. May cot ton doaed last night at 7 (1, It lass than an hoar it had advanced la 7-04. The highest point reach ed for May cotton was y 17. A determined effort of the bears at this point had the effect of lower ering the quotations several points. aa4 from |hen on a slight decline set in until 7.84 was reached. The late prices were March 7.75, May 7.5«, July 7.tr, October y.16. That Sully intend* to conduct another campaign anf that his two previous experiences in nowiae hare discouraged him cannot be doubted. In answer to the ques tion, "What do you intend to do?" he said. "That is the hardest ques tion anybody ever asked me. You ask me about a staple as unstaple from a market standpoint as any thing on earth. ■ 1 cannot tell you what iam going to do. I can tell you only what I believe. I think that cotton is bound to sell much higher and 1 am going to act 00 this belief." The head of one of the oldest cotton houses in the street, aaked what the chances of success bull compared with conditions a year ago. said, "I should aay that tbey were about as 1 to $. Sully went down to defeat last year when con ditions favored him five times an much as they do, to-day. A boll campaign now is worse than fool ish. It is suicidal." But on the floor of the exchange the idea that higher prices may rule was not taken so coolly. Scenes of pandemonium attar the first call were fully as wild as dur ing the hottest days of the' Solly campaign Theodore Price, the bear leader, appeared in the pit at 11 o'clock and forced prices down only after literally swamping the excited buyers with thousands of hales for future delivery. There was rumor, which seemed well founded, that at the same time Price had covered no less than 75,000 bales. Although barred from the ex change, Sully's domination was apparent there to-day on every hand. His name was to be heard oa all sides. Advices were sent out by a well known firm to the effect that Solly ia backed by a Wall street syndi cate, beaded by Joseph H. Ho ad ley, who supported bim at about the time of hia failure and dismissal from membership in the cotton ex change. According'to these state ments -the Sully pool proposed to torce the covering of short lines ia New Orleans and New York. May cotton opened 7.14, ad vanced to 7.97 and closed at 7.I0; July opened 7.8*, advanced to 7.91 and closed at 7.77; October opened at 7.57, advanced to 7.9S and closed at 7.8*. —Wilson Times. Baravarf Haaare sa tbe Farm. Barnyard manure not ooly pro vides food for the plants, but it en ables the soil to retain more mofe tnre, without which no plant food can be made available. When rough and strawy manure is plowed under the first effect is to dry the fy» and some damage may come ia thia manner. When it is ooce well wet and thoroughly settled this trouble disappears. It is esti mated that well manured land will bold from eighteen to twenty tons more water per acre than the same soil uamanured. —Selected. If taken this month, keeps yon well all summer.

If we were to read only that which "makes for happiness" we should certainly eliminate from our mental bill of the substance of moat of our huge dailies. Storiea of crime, of whatever nature, would be passed by. The trials for murder, report ed with all their sickening details, would go unread, and the papers which find apace Car little else in their columas would face a dimin ishing subscription list. And this ia exactly aa it ahoold be. it the wading of theae horrors served aay good purpose there would be more of an excuse for it; but it does not On the contrary, not only is the reader harmed, but the iniaeace for evil is intensified. We think it amy be considered sim ply a habit—a bad habit; and it ia encouraging to note thdl a great ■•any people are beginning to be ■attained of it Not long ago, aa aa instance. Baa ton suffered under a three-weeks' murder trial, and nine out of ten people expressing an optaioa as to the innocence or guilt of the prisoner would add, *-1 don't pretend to know anything about it. however; 1 never read such things, that ia, to any extent." Thie in face of the fact that the "grounds for belief" set forth indi cated a pretty thorough following of the legal battle—for a trial in which all evidence is purely cir cumatantial ia nothing rise. Too many times has the prosecuting attorney, by hia own oratorical power and methods of appealing to a jury, convicted an innocent man. Wa are growing, however, and one day in the not distant future our gallows and electric chair win belong to the past—our legal mur der* or executions'of today will be classed with the hanging of witches at Salem, and other similar evi dences of ignorance. We shall know that the criminal is a person mentally sick, needing only kindly restraint and education, and we shall see—as a State, as a Nation, as a broad minded, thinking peo ple—that he baa both Our "re formatories" will be such in the true sense of the term, and not, aa now, places of penance. They wOl be educational institutions— ssnitoriums, in which the true phy sician will know jut how to min ister to the mind diseased, taking into consideration the parental in fluences that had to do with eaft* case, no less than the subsequent environment and training. Oh, we have much to learn. And while the good time is com ing, let us form the habit of read ing pleasant things. At firat we shall have to look for them, per hapa, but after a time we shall find them gravitating to us. There is nothing truer than the statement that '-like attracts like,*' and if we make up our mluds, once for all, that we will read nothing but pleas- aat things -a pretty story, a bit of fen, a poem, news that is really worth knowing—we shall aee noth ing dee to read. There will no longer be,tbe desire or even incli nation to rua qver column after column of printed chaff- in which, to say the best, there is not one grain of wheat.—Hearth and Home Laifcst Farm 1b the World. The largest farm ia the world, which uatfl recently was in Mis souri, has been extended into lowa. It ia owned bv David Rankin and his son, W: F. Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo.

IfORtH CAROLINA LEADS. ' wm Have i Home at the Janestawa Expositiop. The firat State, other than Vir ginia. to practically endorse the propoaad Jammiown Exposition, and to come to the aid of Virginia in property celebrating the three hundredth aahrertary of the settle meat of thia country by white peo ple. ia North Gsrolina. The Legis lature of that State in its closing boors paaaad a lull appropriating money to enable the Old North State to have a home at Jameatown and make an exhibit at the great Eipoaition that ia sure to be held in 1907. Virginia has always looked to North Carolina for aid and com fort, and hfw never looked in vain. In 1776 North Carolinians hold a convention at Hillaboro, in the ■sooth of August, and by act of that convention the people of that State • "seceded," threw off the Brit ish yoke and at once the Caro linians prepared for serious busi ness. Colonel (afterwards Gener al) Robert Howe quickly raised a requirement of a thousand men, and by the fimt of October had marched to the defense of Norfolk, soon to be menaced by the British Thus it happened that the first troops from beyond Virginia bor ders to come to the defense of Vir ginia in 177# came from the heart of North Carolina. Again, in IMI the first soldiers from beyond the State line to come up to Virginia's defense, were the men of Colonel (afterwards Gener al) D. H. Hill's regiment, who re ceived their first baptism of fire at Bethel. Again ia the dark days of Vir ginia's second reconstruction, when a partisan majority in the Senate of the United States was "investigat ing" the so-caked "Danville riot - ' and striving to humiliate some of the best and nobleat of the Virginia manhood, and at a period when that manhood waa for the time being without a representative in the Senate the peerless Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carolina, became the champion of insulted Virgin ians, and etudents of %istory know how well and how faithfully he stood by them. And, now again, and in yet a different way. North Carolina comes up to the help of the Old Dominion Hurrah for the old North State forever!— Richmond Times - Dis patch. Bvfla at Card Playlag. It has not been so very long ago that Jadge Reagin, of the Flint circuit, made a similar charge to that of Judge Martin to the grand jury of Butts county, and we re member where the recorder of Ma coo made a statement from the bench that card playing for prizes, whether in the gilded palace, the low dive, around a pine knot fire, or in the homes of tbe people, ia gambling, aad all those engaged in the practice, whether for money or prices, are guilty of gambling and subject to punishment for such. We are glad that the State of Georgia has men on the bench who are Irave enough to spesk against the great evil of card playing and to do all they can to break up the practice.—Walton Tribune.

Kodol is a thorough digestant and a guaran teed cure for Indigestion, Dyspep sia, Gas on tbe Stomach, Sour Ris ings, Bsd Bread aad all stomech troubles. N. Watkins, Lesbus, Ky., says; "I can testify to the efficacy of Kodol in the cure of Stomach Trouble. I was sflHctad with Stom ach Trouble for fifteen years and have taken six bottle of your Ko dol Dyspepsia Cure, which entirely cured ta/t. The six bottles were worth SI,OOO to ate."

The seed and flower distribution to be made this vear by the Depart ment of Agriculture to Senators, members of Congress, and dele gates, is to be made, so far as it is possible, a factor in the education of American youth, and the pro motion of nature study in the com mon schools, it being deemed high • ly desirable that the first principles of agriculture be made a prominent feature of common school instruc tion. .To aid in this work, large quantities of seeds will be distribu ted free to the school children of the country. This distribution is to be made, of course, on orders from Congiesamen. Accompany ing the seeds will be circulars giv ing directions for their cultivation, etc., ao that where the experiments are conducted under the direction of interested teachers, it is doubly interesting to the ptipils, because of the object lesson that will be afforded by the carefdl culture re quired to perfect them. It is an ticipated that tbe result will be to inspire in the miodk of the HBys and girls an enthusiastic love for, and a lively interest in, agriculture and horticulture as a pursuit well worthy of their attention as an oc cupation later in life. —W. M. K. in Southern Tobacconist. Ob Guard. If you ever go to a fort, you will always find a soldier on guard. He is called the sentry, and it is his duty to see that no enemy enters the fort. If the sentry Is caught off his guard, be may be put to death for neglecting his duty. This is necessary, for it Li important that no enemy ever he allowed to enter the fort. Every boy should always be on his guard, for there are enemies who are trying all the time to get into a boy's life. Some one lias said that a boy should be iron clad in his whole body. His ears should be Ironclad against impure, words, his hands against wrougaoing, his feet against going into bad conij>a ny, his eyes against bad looks and pictures, his tongue against evil speaking. A boy wants to guard himself against all these enemies needs Jesus Christ as his Great Captain; and with his help, there will be no need to fear any foe, however strong.—-Boy's World. Tbe Boy of Worth. And a tender, boy who wears his rusty cap and out-grown coat that he may secure a coveted place in college and the right in the library is educated to some purpose. There is a great deal of self denial in poor and middle class houses that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities and spends on essentials; that goes rus ty and educates the boy; that sells the house but builds the schodl; works early and late; takes two looms in factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfullv to work again. —Selected. k Otstrictlvt Fir* To draw the fire out of a burn, or heal a cut without leaving a scar, use DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

Ellison, & Co. ' STICK TO THE FARM. Better Than a Cheap Clerk ship in the City. A young ma 11 from the 4hrtn goes into the city, where he sees other young men who are engaged, perhaps, as clerks. They wear fine clothes, have soft hands, Ind appear to be having a fine, easy time, generally. The young man from the country is quite apt to envy these fellows, and wi?h that he, too, might obtain a position as a clerk. But he little realizes what a struggle these same clerks, who work in stores or offices, have to pay for their fine clothes, their board and other expenses, which the young, man from the country knows nothing of. Neither does he realize that a clerk is liable to be thrown out of employment: at any time, and how difficult it is to obtain another position. This is •no fancy sketch, as the writer had some experience a nuinlier of years ago in a nearby city. t The majority of clerks are poor ly paid, so that it is a constant struggle for them to keep up ap pearances. While a few get to the top round anil become successful business men. the majority never rise any higher. Few people who live in the country [pali/e how much it costs to live in the city. The rent aloue. which many are obliged to pay, would support a family quite comfortably in the country. A young man, or a man with a family, living in the city can seldom save any mouey, even though he draws quite a liberal salary, which is rarely the case. The privileges and opportunities [or the enjoyment of life are lie coming greater and better in the couutry every year. Do not 1* in too great haste to leave the, farm with the expectation that you can do so much better in the city. Stick to the farm—learn liow to farm right by attending your agri cultural college and reading farm papers, ,and you will beat the aver age clerk in usefulness, happiness, and wealth.—Selected. Helping Others What do we see in an erring or suffering neighbor ? An oppor tunity to criticise? An illustra tion of God's sure punishment ? A case of hopeless wandering from right > No; a call to us "that the works of God should I*? made man ifest." How that answer from Jesus of Nazareth shame-; our cold blooded, intellectual examinations of "truth," as we have been pleas ed to call it. He who. was the Truth, and whose hatred ol sin and sensitiveness to suffering were greater than ever man's have been, saw in sin and suffering only the call to help. Shall we set our selves above Him ? The question asked at the be ginning of this article used the word "impulse." Most impulses are beyond control. Thev often come unsought and unbidden. Awl if we never have the impulse to help others, what then? Help others anyway. Throw defiance into the teeth of impulse. Impulse is a minor matter in life, when it is disregarded. A good impulse counts lor nothing if it is ignored. So does a bad impulse. Actions we can control; ami if our actions are persistently governed by Christ i» will we may some day be surprised to find even our im pulses becoming more Christlike, — I Charles G. Trumbull.
