the January Cosmopolitan. "Ouida" sue
ceeds Froude, Gosse, Lang, and other
distinguished writer's with an installment

Mr.. Edward Bok's article on The Young

preceding the famous Charcot's death
he prepared an article for the Cosmopolitan

and so with the consent of Charcot's
executors, the article is given now. The
present "Theatrical Season in New York ;"
is critically considered by Mr.. James S.
Metcalfe, editor of Life, and there are
stories by Tourgee, Howells, and the
famous French writer Francois Coppee.

The Big-Little Paper.

We have just received the last issue Of
the big-little Farm Journal, the we'll known
and popular monthly farm paper, edited
by Wilmer Atkinson. The Farm Journal
is now in its eighteenth year, with over
100000 subscribers, giving it round
million of readers. 1t circulates every
where from Maine to Washington and
from Michigan to Texas, its editors and
contributors are sleeves-rolled-up men
and women, and it is surprising how so
much valuable and helpful information
can be crowded into SO small a space.
The very best people take it because it is
clean, honest, earnest, and progressive,
with no ak to grind, or hobby to ride. 1t
is for the farmer, first, last, and all the
time. If you do not know the paper.
send a postal to Farm Journal, Phladel-
phia, Pa, for a free sample copy and
beautiful colored plate of berries. Take
our word for it, you will be delighted
with the paper.

ASTOMR. DANIELS RESIGNATION.

Mr.. w. w. Scott, writing from
Washington to his paper the Lenolr
Topic, last week, says this concerning
rumor of which we had already
heard:
TIE North Carolinians in Washing
ton have read with regret the announce
ment in the newspapers that Mr..
Josephus Daniels, Chief Clerk of the
Interior Department, contemplates re-
signing his office at an early day for
the purpose of returning to Raleigh
and taking personal charge of the
Nr7os amt Observer, of which he is
editor and whose policy he directs
from here, not to speak of the great
amount of editorial work he does for
the paper. It may be stated that this
step has not been positively decided
upon, though the chances are decidedly
on the side of his going back to
K leigh. Mr.. Daniels will go to
Raleigh to -morrow for a stay of week
or ten days. If ne should resign he
will do SO much to the regret Of
Secretary Smith and of the hosts of
friends, in stations high and humble as
we'll, whom he has attached to him
during his wise and efficient manage
ment Of the important office which he
fills. 1t is my opinion, shared with
many others, that he can be of greater
service to North Carolina by remain
ing in Washington COR the next two
years than he can by returning to
Raleigh.

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
The North Carolina Commercial and
Industrial Association to Meet In
Raleigh January 10th.

Organized activity is the most
ffective, if not the the only means by
which common good can be effected.
The realization of this fact led to the
organization in August, 1892, a, More
head City, N. c., Of the Commercial
and Industrial Association OF North
Carolina. The expressed purpose OF
the Association was to urge before the
law-making power of the State such
enactments, and changes in existing
enactmen,s, as experience in business
and efforts toward general develop
ment could suggest as advisable; also
to urge and aid as far as possible the
promotion of such practicable meas
ures as would result in securing Tor
towns and business enterprises the
cheapest possible fuel, water, lights
and transportation facilities. A further
and principal object of the Association
is an alignment of all petty jealousles
SO that the people of the State might
work together for fostering manutac-
turing Interests and otherwise develop
ing the resources ofthe Commonwealth.
Some principal results of the efforts
of the Association thus far have been
beneficial changes in the insurance
laws; the passage of a banking ana
financial measure 10 be operative when
the 10 per cent. tax on State bank CIR
culation shall have been repealed
which measure was pronounced by the
New York Journal Of Commerce to be
the best one ever formulated the
creation of sentiment favoring NUM-
cipal control of lighting systems and
water supplies, &c. Matters OF much
importance affecting the agricultural
and commercial interests of the State
demand the attention of good citizens
engaged in these pursuits. Whatever
may be best and most needed can be
more clearly determined by general
discussion and interchange of opinion
than otherwise, and a presentation OF
such opinion, as may be arrived at by
this method, to the lawmaking power
OF the State may result advantageously.
That the work of the Association
may be continued and some matters
which have been undertaken hereto
fore by it may be completed, hereby,
with the advice and consent OF the
Executive Committee, call meeting
of the North Carolina Commercial
and Industrial Association to be held
in Raleigh on Wednesday, January 10,
1905. Members of the Association
are respectfully urged to take note OF
this call.
Towns and Boards of Trade not
already having membership in the
Association are invited to send repre-
sentatives appointed by the mayors OF
towns, or selected by such trade
organizations as may exist within the
towns, or in any way they may deem
proper. Each town and city is emit
tied to one membership, casting one
vote in the Association, and may be
represented by as many delegates as II
may be deemed expedient to send.

H. w. AVER, President.
Secretary.

In The Beginning

or a new year, when the winter season OF
close confinement is only half gone, many
find that their health begins to break down,
that the least exposure threatens sickness:
1t is then as we'll as at all other times, and
with people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hoods Sarsaparilla leads
everything in the way of medicines that it
accomplishes the greatest cures in the
world has the largest sale in tine world,
and requires the largest building in the
world devoted exclusively to the prepare
ton of the proprietary medicine. Does
not this cOnclusively prove, if you are
sick, that Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medi-
cine for you to take?

A CRISIS is at hand in the affairs of
the Southern Passenger Association.
A meeting is to be held in New York
on the 18th for the purpose of deciding
whether it shall live or die. Every
road now in the Association has
served notice of withdrawal and it is
likely that the organization will 60 to
pieces. The object for which ',he
Association was formed was to have
uniformity in passenger and freight
rates on all Southern railroads and to
prevent the cutting of prices. Every
thing was regulated by commission
and all the roads were bound by its
action. If the organization is dissolved,
as rs likely, each railroad will make its
own prices and cutting Of rates may
be expected.-Eechangs.

NORTH CAROLINA'S GOOD SHOW
INE

We have not yet seen the annual
report of the auditing officers of that
State, but it seems to be conceded that
North Carolina did we'll during the
year Just closed. That State, like our
own, has wonderful capacities, which
only need to be fully developed to
make it one of the leading Common
wealths in the South.
Our sister State, too, may become
competitor Of ours in furnishing a great
part of the world with oysters.
The Wilmington Messenger says:
If the oyster industry was prosecuted
with the wisdom and industry that
distinguish little Connecticut, in few
years the oyster product would be
worth millions to the people.
You can go into a county that was
erected in 1746 and ride from its
county seat for twenty miles in one
direction without passing through
cleared land, but through forests of oak
and hickory and black jack and elm
and SO on. Its fisheries can be made
still more profitable and its mines as
yet are only partially developed. Let
North Carolinians stick by the State
and unite in making it great in educa-
ton, in material prosperity, and even
more advanced in religion. There are
