Cunnim^' presided of the North Caw^ l^rmers’ Pro tective Assorjy^™- was in the city yesterday^x^’^^®^ returned from the wep^ section of the State, where he (J^wred several agricultural ad- ^sses. He stated that the farmers are paying more attention to diversify ing their crops and growing their home supplies than ever before. In relating the conditions over the Slate as he found them. Col. Cunningham said: “The cotton and tobacco farmers re alize that it is to their advantage to grow their home supplies, and that when they do this they can raise cotton and tobacco at a reasonable profit. The tobacco farmer is fast waking up to the fact that he can and must price his own tobacco, for if he does not he is entirely at the mercy of the great trust. The raisers of tobacco will soon appreciate the fact that they are in a position to price their product at a pro fit, and I believe that next year min imum price for tobacco will be fixqd and maintained, The minimum price in North Carolina should be 12 1-2 cents per pound. To grow the weed at a profit the farmers cannot accept less than this amount for it, as prices for everything else arc exceedingly high. “The farmers in Surry county are raising their home supplies, and that county is illustrative of every other in the State. “The tobacco acreage will not be .in creased in the State. The plants are late owing to the cold weather and the dry spell, but will be a sufficient num ber to set out the crop. The plan to raise home supplies and the scacicity of plants will cut down the tobacco ac reage in this and other Stales, and the farmeiB are in a position to demand and secure justice and their rights.” Dled.i Decatur Wesley Cog^ill, the twenty- months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C.

This reply soon came: " ‘Was aware position non-partisan; deeply appreciate great honor. My reasons for non-acceptance are profes sional and non-political.' “The President had already decided to appoint Van Leer Polk, of Tennes see, a member of the commission and there is a probability that Hannis Tay lor may be chosen in place of Governor Aycock. ” It is thought that the main reason which prompted Mr. Aycock to decline was that he would be a candidate for Senator to succeed Senator Simmons, whose term expires next year. Senator Simmons attained a great deal of popularity by his successful con duct of two campaigns during the Pop ulist party regime. For that ,work the people were willing to reward him by placing upon him the great honor of representing the State in the U. S. senate. But that debt has been paid and it is now lime tl)at our State send as its representative to the senate the man in the State who is best qualified to fill the position with honor and dis tinction, that being Mr. Aycock. Mr. Simmons had a great deal to do with the nominating of Mr. Aycock for governor, knowing that with Aycock out of the way no other man in the State could win over him for ;he senate. We are glad tl at Mr. Aycock did not allow himself to be “gotten out of the way” this time and hope that he will be a candidate for the senate. i WHAT GOOD PRICES FOR COTTON DOES, Roanoke, Va., April 2.4.—J.

The Pftst says: “It has long been known that some p^ple exercis'd an undeniable myste rious in^en«fe over otjjers, and it has for soml'time been a matter of con jecture, perhaps, rather than theory, that there passed between the individ uals so related some subtle and impal pable emanation of psychic force which enabled one- of the two to exerci^^^iore or less control oyer the other, “This forte has been known as ani mal magnetism, hypnotism, and mes merism, due to the fact that Mesmer brought it prominently into notice in Paris by means of.rxperiments in the last century. His c.aiois were investi gated in 1784 by a committee of mem bers of the faculty of Medicine and the Academy of Sciences, and were largely discredited.

It has in late years, how ever, been from time to time rediscov ered. and about ten years ago, through the developmerrt of what i« known as the Bequerel rays, thjs vital etpanation has been so studied and experimented with as to permit to some extent of it laws being formulated, and of its cor relation with physics. “Careful observation has established the fact that where a healthy nurse was brought in contact with a debili tated patient, a powerful stream of vi tal energy was absorbed by the patient, and, strangely enough, the prssage from one to another is greatest and easiest when the contact is at the knees. In order to secure a flow of the vital magnetism forni one person to another, there must be a difference of potential between the two bodies, and where this is great, experience has shown that the passage is attended by as sharp a sensation as is experinced from contact with liquid not quite hot enough to burn. The force itself is technically defined as “the dynamic force of exploding molecules, corpus cular bombardment or the collision of magnetized ions of matter, the whole of which may be regarded as subatomic activity.” What is known as the re sidual charge, or the amount which may pass from one person to another is most intense in the brain and next in the thoracic organs and the hands. “The establishment of these facts on a scientific basis does away with most of the difficulties which have existed in the minds of many as to so-called mir acles and divine magnetic healing. It is shown that some individuals are very highly endowed with this vital force, and it is easy to understand that given such a person on the one hand, and one of low vitality and high receptivity on the other, the laying on of hands in nervous and mental diseases might work rapid cures. This^^would account, as has been said, for most miracles, and for so-called divine and magnetic healing. The results are particularly striking where, with the active force of '?^^ealer, are combined the power o.

Mr. Bryan planned perhaps better than he knew when he arranged to take a journey around the world this year. He was relieved of the necessity of dai ly instructing the people as to the prop er course of political events. Discreetly away, distance has lent enchantment, and animosities once reheated by the mere mention of his name are having time to cool. Mr Bryan, although he was not a can didate for the Presidential nomination in 1904, has never bound himself not to be a candidate in 1908. Indeed he conceives it his duty to sacrifice himself if the call again comes. His recent magazine arti cle, where in he mildly combated the ^tendency of the Democratic party to ward socialism, is not without signif icance. The boy orator has given way to one who affects statesmanship—like many another man, the departure of his hair is coincident with an increase of conservatism. So the alleged Bryan movement in the Democratic Club, although its existence will doubtless be denied, is not altogether preposterous. Recently one of ^the Club’s orators publicly eulogized Mr. Bryan. He looks good to a group of somewhat scarred gentlemen compared with a certain other insistent candidate. A politician is seldom able to get what he wants—he is gained to accept the best he can get.

Chamber lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneu monia, and has gained its great popu larity and extensive sale by its prompt cures of this most common ailment.
