Advantages That He Expects From The Big Enterprise. New York, April 7. —Daniel J. Sully announced to-day that here after he would devote his entire time and attention to the develop ment of the Southern Cotton Cor poration, of which he had.just been elected president. The new con cern will establish cotton ware houses throughout the South. This announcement of Mr. Sully was regarded as interesting in view of statements made a few weeks ago, when he was discharged from bankruptcy. At that time it was freely predicted that the former cotton king was about to lead a great bnll movement in the cotton market. Mr. Sully then declared himself a bull in cottou and inti mated that something might be ex pected from him. The movement was widely predicted, but failed entirely to materialize. There were no signs of Sully in the mar ket and little was heard from him until to-day. Mr. Sully said the concern had been organized with a large capital and had extensive backing, but he did not specify as to the exact amount of capital or who the backers are. The plans provide for fireproof warehouses in all the most imporiant cotton cen tres of the South. "I believe that it is the broadest business proposition which I have ever investigated," said Mr. Sully, "as it means the betterment of the warehousing of the most impor tant agricultural product of our country—really the most impor tant in its influence on the world's affairs of any agricultural product of the world. leading interests throughout the South will be large ly identified with this work, and in our plans we have the heartiest co operation of growers, bankers and business men generally throughout the whole South for such a ware house system. It has for years been urged by conventions and by the press as an absolute necessity Working In the Present. The man who can do the best day's work is he who can forget about the occurrences of yesterday and the possibilities of to-morrow and put his whole soul into what he is doing today. In that way he saves a mighty waste of divided energy and all his strength is put into the thing before him that en gages his attention. Mommsen said of Caesar that his "power of living energetically in the present, undisturbed either by recollection or speculation,'' accounted for the immense amount of lasting work he was able to accomplish in his varied occupations If he had been troubled about what some semi-ci vilized tribe might be scheming against the Roman arms while try ing to write the commentaries, what would the result have been ? And wheu it came to crossing the Rubicon he thought of nothing else. Application undivided with to morrow or yesterday counts fully as much to-day in the business world as it ever did in any sphere. Indeed, it is probable that in this of competition the man who learns to put his whole heart and all his energies into the work of to-day has a big advantage over his broth er who scatters his mental forces over a wide and useless range of territory.

(Enterprise. WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905. for the welfare ot the cottcfn trade. For many yeats the cotton in terests, planters, merchants and manufacturers alike have suffered from the lack of adequate ware house facilities for storing and car rying cotton. The grain trade of the country, so long accustomed to elevators and to the facilities which they offered for handling grain and issuing against it negotiable re ceipts, could not now .be handled without elevators, and yet the cot ton trade is practically without any such warehousing system. Here and there throughout the South will be found a good fireproof warehouse with all modern im provements, and conservative bank ers and business men of various towns are undertaking to build local warehouses, forced there by the absolute necessities of the trade. But hundreds of thousands of bales of cotton now held back by th« growers are lying out in the tain and mud, and subject to seri ous injury. Cotton thus exposed to the weather is often badly in jured and is known to the trade as 'country damaged.' "Under such conditions as now exist insurance is four or five times as high as in fireproof warehouses, and every expense connected with •he storing and marketing of cotton is alike burdensome to planters and cotton mills. A broad warehouse system will overcome these heavy drawbacks and annually save mil lions of dollars. It will enable the growers as well as the spinners to store cotton in fireproof ware houses and secure therefor a uego tiable receipt 'good as gold' with the local bank, as well as in lead ing financial oentres. The whole system is merelv an adaptation to the cotton trade of the faoilities l>o«ses.sed for many years by the grain trade, and it should result in preventing the wide fluctuations in prices which are hurtful to eve ry branch of the cotton trade. With such a system of warehouses surplus cotton in years of large production will be easily carried over to famine years, and thus the whole trade will be benefitted by a regular supply and steadier prices." —Raleigh Post. > A Terrible Tragedy. Danville, Va., April B.—A spe cial to The Register from Chat ham, Va., says: As the result of a most horrible mistake Mrs. Nannie Bowe lies dead at her home near Concord church, nine miles from this place with a bullet wound through her heart, shot by her own hand; her 12-year-old daughter, Winnie, lies dead in the same room from an over-dose of strychnine, accident ally administered by her mother in the place of quinine and her 10- year-old son. Cabell, Is desperately ill iu an adjoining room from strvchnine poison administered in a like manner. J. T. Hall, who lives near the Bowe home was aroused from his slumbers early this morning by the screams of a woman. Mr. Hall and his son at once repaired to the Bowe home. They were met at the door by the woman, who told them she had killed her children by mistake. Mrs. Bowe also stated that after learning of her fatal error, she had herself taken strych nine and carbolic acid. While Mr. Hall was administering to the boy Mrs. Bowe left the house. A few minutes later her body was discov-. ered near the door with a bullet through the heart. A pistol, with one chamber empty, was lying near her. Mrs Boftre was the widow of Thomas S. Bowe, who died a year ago. She was about forty years of sge. Feel tired, no appetite, cannot sleep, work or eat?

Of the Successful Klen. 1 Sometimes the rite of a man fa mous for hit deeds and cons; icu ous in a certain wnlk of lif s reads like a romance, but usual/ it is observed that the successful man gets there by the fhrce of his own efforts earnestly applied. Writers and orators have a way of holding up for emulation of youth the very great and eminently succesaful men of the nation whom the aver age boy can never hope to equal or surpass. Nature has supplied in every child just so much brains and na tive ability. It can be cultivated to a certain degree; no further. It '8 as futile to say that every school boy can become a great warrior as to assert that every boy can be a great musician, e* great orator, or a g e»t writer with a burning mes sage to be delivered to, the world and waiting only the opportune moment. The genius that is said to be closely akin to madness and that produces in its possessors the masterpieces is given to the very few. But we have countless thousands of good men of sterling integrity and robust common-sense —men of affairs who daily pursue their vocations without noise or fan-fare of trumpets, whose names seldom or never appear in the pub lie prints who are not known be yond their rela'ively small business mid social circles. But their names are good at ihe banks they pay their taxes, rear their children in an intelligent atmosphere of good citizenship, know the trend of po litical and economic affairs, are de voted to their families, are honest with their neighbors and with themselves. These are tlife ciji/.ens to 1 'aver age man,'' whose name is legion, must strive to emulate and when reaches that sphere of "comforta ble comfort'' and independent citi zenship. he is fulfilling his duty in Ihe world and is doing all that des tiny mapped out for him in the be ginning when the grand scheme of things was arranged. To rise with | the tide and be a successful average man implies hard work, hard study, economy, thrift and sterling integ rity and who pursues faithfully along these lines will achieve suc cess. The examples are many, but they are not often disclosed on public parade.—Selected. A Point for the Tardy Man. Give equal ability and equal op portunities, the punctual man is the one who invariably succeeds where his easy-going, indifferent competi tor fails. Punctuality may be con sidered a negative virtue, but its lack often brings disappointment and leads to distrust and want of confidence that are fatal to a busi ness future. Many employers rely on their clerks to open their placss of busi ness. No matter what the weather may be Or what the feelings of the employe, the store must always be opened prompt I v at the established time and as regularly as the stated hour arrives. Such a practice creates confidence; people will know what to expect; and 110 customer hi a hurry will be forced to go away, disappointed at locked doors. It is the clerk's duty to his em plover, and to himself as well, to be on time always. Appointments, no matter how trivial, should lie kept promptly; any little business engagement attended to promptly, as agreed, may mean considerable business eventually.

Give to the World the Very Best You Have. The discussion started by the not altogether original utterances of Dr. William Osier, ot Baltimore, has set men in all walks of life to pondering on the question of whether their usefulness has ceased and a hether they have reached the limits of their powers. Especially ia this likely to be true among the more tl-an ordinarily intelligent. This expression is not designed to differentiate between any class of craftmen, for a high order of intel ligence is often found among the very poor and those who are com pelted to earn a livelihood by poor ly compensated labor—a situation sometimes existing where oppor tunities have never been opened Again, among professional people, who usually are thinkers, the stand ard of intelligence is high. But wherever it may be, or in what class, there i; none who will not pause occasionally as t'e fust flush of youth passes and propound seri ously the question, "Am I giving the world the best I liavo, and am I getting trom it all I am entitled to ?" The answer is or should be easy. The man who is honest with him self can be trusted to bj hones! with his neighbor and in the con scientious individual, man or wo man, there is a continual prompt ing to do his best. That some excel naturally follows Physical strength, endurance, mei til pow ers being differently -proport oned ■here will be leaders; but to suggest to any man that at any p rind of life's performance ii is time for him to retire from the stage and ring down the, curtain >s sheerest non sense and fallacy. For the sake of illustration in numerable examples of men to M be cited who do their thire ol tin world's work in a quiet, unosten tatious way, and elaborate monu ments may be erected by a thought ful posterity to the most humble and unsuspecting of them. In a public square in New Orleans such a memento stands -the statute of an aged Irish woman who did her duty, as she felt, very simply and humbly, but when she died the city mourned for and honored 'Mar garet" as one who had done a re markable work in caring for or phans. In any walk of life there is no time or place to stop and say, 'Nothing more, nothing greater, nothing better can be done.'' The man who keeps trying, keeps striv ing with a firm resolution to do better than he has ever done be fore, no matter how much or how little that may have been, is going to conclude the business of life in success, and the chances are he will be called that long before he gets to the conclusion. For him there is no chloroforming age. —Merchants Journal, A strength tonic that brings rich, red blood. Makes y m strong, healthy and active.

Had the father of the "original" Rothschild had his way the talents of this family might never have been known to the world of finance. When Mayor Anselm Rothschild was born in the Judeustras.se, Frankfort, in 1743, his j-arents con secrated him to the church. Al though he worked in his father's store, driving a bargain whenever there wasan opportunity, he was told constantly that he was to be come a rabbi. For a long time the boy's remonstrances were in vain, but he finally overcame his father's will in the following way: The elder Rothschild had left his son one day at the home of a neigh boring rabbi in order that this rev erend doctor might persuade the youth to choose the synagogue rath er than the counting room. After a long talk the rabbi gave the boy the Talmud and asked him to read certain passages. An hour or so later the father came for his child, and, finding no one at the door, he stepped into the hallway. A low murmer from an adjoining room caused him to look quickly, and his heart swelled with jov. lie saw his beloved Mayer crouching over a book and chanting from its pages as if learning something by heart. Approaching nearer he saw that the volume was the Talmud. "What are you reading, my boy?" asked th? father, taking the book with one hand while he patted his son's head lovingly with the other. Before the lad could answer a loose leaf slipped out and floated to the floor. The father picked up the runaway sheet of paper and stared at it hard. Finally the smile re turned, but it was broader and more worldly. The boy had tucked into his Talmud a leaf from an old irithinetic. There was 110 further effosfto thwart the lad's ambition, and a year or so later he was sent to Hanover to serve as an employee of the banking house of Oppenheim. After a short apprenticeship young Rothschild returned tp his native town and opened a banking estab lishment of his own. —New York Tribune. Qualities of a Salesman. In setting forth some ot, the qualities a salesman must have, a writer in the Business Man's Maga zine pursues the subject in this fashion: He must have faith, faith in the infinite, faith in himself, faith in his customer that he will buy,-faith in his goods—he must realize the commercial value of love in the sense of brotherly kindness, that makes the hand-shake genuine and the smile real. He must know the valued and how to cultivate it. If he_ would bag big game in business, he must shoot with the rifle of concentration and leave the shot-gun of scatteration to the other fellow —he mu«t load that rifle of concentration with the powder of ambition manufactured in the work-shop of the soul —he must cultivate reverence, reveren ces for his ideals, striving to become more and more like greater men than he, who have lead the Way. He must cultivate courage, indus try, preseverence, honesty, truth fulness, tact and courtesy. From the standpoint of the phy sical, he must so live that there is strength and symmetry in his life. He must cultivate and develop ac tivity and endurance. From the instruction process, he must learn how to read human nature; he must be a logician; he he must be able to analyze, pick things to pieces, and synthesize, logically put together again. He must know something of psycholo gy, the science of the human mind or soul. He must fill in useful knowledge concerning credits, sysr tem, advertising, costs in relation to selling prices In other words, he must have organized knowledge pertaining to his profession, the profession of' trade—salesmanship, broadly interpreted—the greatest profession in all the world for those who are truly fit. —Merchants Journal.
