A second edition of "Lyrics From Cotton Land," by the late John diaries McNeil bse been issued by the enterprising Southern publishers, Stone-Barringer Company,' of Char lotte, a copy of which is received by The Tribune. Speaking of the gifted young writer, whom in life ail delight ed,-to honor, the Charlotte Observer nays: "His songs and lyrices are more highly and generally appreciated to day than they ,were when they first oame from his pen. ' ' This edition is beautifully bound in bandana cloth, and illustrated by A. B. Front, E. W. Wimble and Mrs. W. C.

Des 'Monies Evening Tribune. James Gordon Bennett, the elder, invented thd-want ad. In the old days it was generally to locate lost people or articles, to secure help or positions. The want ad has grown iwith the years as much as any part of news papering. Today it covers wide field. Almost as muoh is sold now through the classified pages as through the dis play pages. The want ad is accepted everywhere as the barometer of suc cessful newspaper advertising. The latest patron of the want ad page is the United States. The" gov ernment lias found that the most ef fective way to recruit the Navy De partment is to nse Git want ad. It is announced from Washington : ."The only method of securing ap-. plieants which the service finds more effective than tbe colored poster is the newspaper want ad." f ? Alfter i resorting . to every ;' other means of attracting attention of the young men, Uncle Sam says "that snoot the only kind of advertising be needs to pay for is the newspaper want ad." Vi A- -"'.- It is interesting to watch the. de velopment of a method of doing busi ness. From the little personals James Gorden Bennett devised has come a new general market place. Everything nnder the sun is traded and sold en the want pages; I The newspaper chat has the want . ad supremacy . - is a vertiable trading station for the State. Morever, the want page is a most Interesting page to read.:. Hhere is a greet deal of fattman' interest in the countless bargains offered. There is some pathos, some pore fun, and some deviltry.' 'Human . ristnre is seen in many guises.!; Tht intelligent reader never misses the went ads. t Jimmy Dona Offers $80,000 For Bi V, . , JKSS. ' ..." '. Odren. Utah. Not. 9.

'1 f T I-J.- - MR. ODELL WRITES. Endorses the Charlotte News in IU Position Anent Bishop's Attack on .. Rockefeller's Gift - Writing the Charlotte News under date; of 'November 6th, Mr. R. M. OdeH endorses the News in its gentle response of the Southern Bishop who denounced the Rockefeller hook-worm appropriation. The tetter is we think in good form and represents the com mon view of the matter, so we here reproduce it: "The Editor of the News. Charlotte, N.C. ' ' Dear Sir : Perimr me to commend you most heartily for your editorial of Hie 5th insl., 'Prejudice and a Bish op,' anent the recent donation of Mr. Rockefeller-for the eradication of the hook-worm disease. I endose every word of it most heartily and it makes quite refreshing reeding after having read tbe editorial in the current issue of a weekly paper (which advertises itself broadly as being devoted to the South 's interests) denouncing the gift in bitter and scathing terms. iHow long are the people of this section with all its wonderful resources to be deluded and blinded by eloquent ap peals to "pride." Let's take all tbe cash we can get whether it comes Prom the North, South, East or West, o long as it be given to a worthy cause. It does seem rather presump tions of us to impugn Mr. Rockefel ler's motives and certainly tbe fact that the expenditure of the money given by him is to be directed by such men as E. A. Alderman and our own J. Y. Joyner should be an indication that it will be spent wisely and well. Sometime ago one of tbe Vandenbilt ' gave one million dollars as a Christ mas gift to his wife to spend in an ef fort to stamp out the Great White Plague but there was no criticism of this donation nor was the charge made that Mr. Vanderbilt was making men dicants out of us all. It has become so usual and so popular to impugn the motives of the millionaires of. our eonntry no. matter bow worthy the ob jects of their generosity thai the only course left for them is to cease giving or else make their donations in other lauds where the sense of appreciation is keener than in our own land of America. "I yield to no man in loyalty to the South ami in sincere wishes for her future development and prosperiey and it is a source of gratification to And others who are not alarmed over Mr. Rockefeller's gift for fighting a disease which- it is generally admit ted is a serious menace to tlie heal Hi of the people of thU section, and who are not willing to join in the general villiflcation of the man and charge him 'With an attempt to "buy" public opinion in the South. It would be in teresting to know what the men who are so ready to resent gifts to tbe South, have ever really given in time or money to alleviate pain and Buffer ing and fight disease in this fend of ours, or what they have done to up lift human kind and make the "two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. "I am, sir, Respectfully yours, "R. M. ODELL," RUN DOWN BY AUTO. Twelve Year Old Boy Attempts to Cross in Front of Machine and is ' Knocked Down and Run Over. , Laurinburg, Nov. 9. This morniof about 10 o'clock a rather serious ac cident occurred on Main street Mr. Maynbr of Cheraw, S. C, with sever al ladies in bis automobile, was pass ing through Laurinburg- en route to Red Springe. They were going through the streets at an ordinary speed when Phillip Saseen, .. a Syrian youth about 12 years of age, attempted to pass in front of the machine, "The nearness of the machine excited tbe boy and be dodged directly in front of the machine as Mr. Maynor ; a trying to avoid striking him, A left rib was. broken . with other injuries more or leas serious, " .. The relatives of the boy got busy and immediately had Mr. Maynor in- dieted, detaining fcfrn here for some time. He gare bond and left in the ifternoon for Red Springs. The boy at this writing is getting along very nicely. The accident was vnavoidabfc by Mr. Maynor and is much regretted by bim and those with bim.

Baltimoreaa Injects Temperance Question Into Convention. Raleigh, Nov. 9. T. Alvah Mer ritt, of the Maryland delegation, stir red up a sensation in the; National Farmers ' Congress this afternoon by demanding that the resolution intro duced by him early in the session be pat upon its paosage. His resolution intended to put the congress squarely on record against tbe saloon's and tbe whiskey business generally, saying the resolution was metomngle8. He declared ' it looked like the Farmers' Congress was dom inated by the whiskey interests. If such was true he wanted to know it, so he could insist that tbe next session come to Baltimore, tbe proud pos sessor of more whiskey bouses tlhan any other city on the continent. The resolution celled on all farm ers' oiganizations to work for the complete elimination of saloons as most detirmental to the best interests of the farmers. Merritt was not per mited to recall the resolution and left the hall. In connection with a conference here between Dr. C. W. Stills and State Snjperintendent Jbynsr, both of the Rockefeller book-worm com mission, it is nmierstol that there is a strong possibility of Raleiglh being made tbe headquarters of the hook worm campaign in the wihole South. Mysteries of Bird Life. Chicago Evening Post. The hermit thrushes are feeling the pinch of cold and are moving si lenty southward, with the fox spar rows and tbe wbitetlxroats keeping them good company. They have, been preceded by a greet army of songsters less well equipped to stand the hard ships of northern campaigning under conditions of frost and scarcity of food. The mystery of the cause of the migration has never been explained. It is no puzzle to understand why birds pressed by hunger and cold will seek a .land of warmth and., plenty, but wtfiy do they leave it to come ack over thousands of miles of land and wirer, with every rod of the way be set with danger? Why do some hardy species that can live and grow fat among the sonw banks follow, and at times lead their weaker fellows to the mild latitudes T The migration is a mystery, and it will remain one until man learns better how to mterpert the ways of nature. It is impossible to estimate with anything like accumacy the loses to tlbe bird ranks caused 'by yielding to the impulse of travel. Hundreds of thousands of the voyagers perish ev ery spring and fall in the journeys to and from tbe nesting land. We read of birds that "ride tbe storm." The sea and lake coasts are strewn with bodies of victims that are overtaken in midnight by the season's gales. Great numbers of birds migrate at night, and when a fog covers their path and headlands and shore lines and river courses are lost to them they fly Wiwdly against light house panes and against towers and tall buildings. No speices of bird is exempt from these night perils. From bumming bird to great blue hereon they are done to death in multitudes. The dangers are not all oonfiened to tbe , night travel. Golden-crowned thruehes, kinglets, and veeries kill themselves by scores daily by flying against windows through which the light from somefarther window shines deeeiveingly. Sharp shinned 'and Cooper's hawks hang on the flanks and rear of ibe migrating hosts and strike down the stragglers. The game birds run a gantlet of shotguns from Hudson bay to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. The wonder grows year by ye; that so many of tbe birds sur vive to come back to the April fields. One species of plover makes tbe yearly journey, from Alaska to Pata- gonit. Some members of the wabler family, seemingly the frailest of our birds, travel , by,- night stages from Canada-to' the interior of Mexico. The winter homes of nearly all of our birds have been, located, but no man yet knows tie winter resort of tlie great hosts of ehimney swifts, erroneously but generally called ehimney swallows. The swifts feave txA they come back, and byond this science knows little or notfeing. ' These familiar birds of summer hare held their secret through; tha ages and have added their own puule to the geneeral oiyetry of the migration. s " - ' Nell Do yo think that slothes make tire woman t Belle WelL they srs mora apt .to if a tnso makes tbe clothes.

Miss Maggie Poe, an Employe of a Greensboro Cigar Factory, Throws Hers If Into Lake at Guilford Bat tle Ground. Greenbor, Nov. 9. Miss Maggie Poe, 25 years old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Poe, of R. F. D. 2, Siler City, committed suicide today by drowning herself in the lake at Guil ford battleground, 6 miles northwest )f Greensboro. All indications point to the fact that self-destruction was Dremedinted and carefully planned. 3he left her boarding bouse on Dick street early in the forenoon and walk id a portion of the wny to tbe battle ground, traveling the remainder of the distaidce in a wagon drireg by two Soys. She left the vehicle at the bat tle ground and was last seen walking in the direction of the lake. A farmer returning home at noon observed a woman's hat and cloak in 'he dam of the lake, and later bear ing of a strange young woman's ap Tearance in tbe vicinity, organized a marching party to drag the lake. The body was recovered early in the after noon and the county authorities were notified. The body was brough to town and canned to an undertaking establishment, where it was identified this evening by acquaintances of the young woman. The young woman had resided in Greensboro about two years and had been employed in a cigar fartory nntil Saturday. One of the firsts persons to identify tihe body was a young man who had been with Miss Poe frequent ly of late. He said when he called on 'her last night she informed him of her purpose to take her life and ex hibited a letter she 'had written her mother, saying she would seek release from disgrace in death. Under prom ise that he would help her in her trou ble, the young woman's caller extract ed from her the promise that she would do nothing rash and carried away with bim the letter. The letter which 'has been turned over to the offi cers, names the author of the young woman's ruin a man who hBt the city recent! v. Contract Let For Amazon Mill! at Thomasville.
