COTTON CROP LARGE.

Scotland Neck, N. c., Oct. S.-Mr. w.
r. Whitehead, one of the leading cot
ton and tobacco farmers of this COM
munity, said to your correspondent yes
terday that he thinks there will be u
larger cotton crop gathered here than
the farmers have been estimating for
some weeks past. He thinks the I'M
usually long drought has caused the far
mers to overestimate the shortage in
the crop. He thinks the present crop
somewhat under an average.
A telephone line will soon be run from
Enfield, the tobacco town of the county,
to Halifax, the county seat. This line
will probably connect with the Scotland
Neck telephone, which will soon be in
operation. The poles have been secured
and contracts are being taken for phone
service.
Persons who attended the Tar River
Baptist Association near Rocky Mount
have returned and report large crowd

of it is expended in mission work. 4

A BLESSING TO THE BABIES OF
THE POOR. AN ENTERPRISE
THAT SHOULD BE FOSTERED.

The prospect is very encouraging that
the distribution of pasteurized milk,
devoid of all microbic germs, among the
children of the poor at Il nominal price,
will become general in the large cities of
the United States. While this beneyo-
lence will be a blessing to the babies,
our adult population enjoy an equally
great one in the benefit conferred by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon per-
sons afflicted with kidney and bladder
complaint. Danger from Brights dis
ease and diabetes is surely averted by
this admirable preventive, which is also
a safeguard against malar.al fever AMI
rheumatism, and thorough remedy for
dyspepsia. constipation, liver complaint,
and nervousness. Diseases, insignificant
at the outset, enlarge their proportions
and capacity for destruction through
neglect. Another point of Importance in
using this sterling remedy is, that it
should be taken with regularity and per-
sStence.

of the matter:
lam OF the opinion tn at the claimants have
no right TO ship or remove spirituous liquors
under ia bells bearing trade name not origin
ating with them but in active use and belong
ing TO other persons and firms; the labels
should also show the true name oil the LIQUORS
or spirits contained in the bottles SO that no
intending purchaser could be deceived This
would make ii easy 10 prove that the law was
not violated.
And en- of the opinion that where ficti-
tious name is used on label, as for instance
Jean BaIbit, Bordeaux" this being q name
not known 10 the trade. and not stating the
fact as to the true name of the maker and
place OF manufacture, the liquors being COM
pounded here, that the Label should also 5 how
the true name of the manufacturer and the
place OF manufacture, SO that the goods can
be traced 10 their source. This would fulfill

The intelligence published in The CALI,
yesterday morning to the effect that In

rendered to their owners the LIQUORS

faciure, caused much comment in COM
mercial circles in this city.
The fact that the return HAD been
ordered by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington did not appear to
make much OF factor in the affair. The

In speaking about Hughes ability, Jen-
niDgs said: Hughes displayed, in the
game we played in Sacramento, number
of puzzling curves which we were unable
to hit. He lacks, In my iud gment, speed,
but think him sufficiently speedy to en-
ter the National League. 1 nave never
met pitcher in any of the local clubs in
which, as a professional. 1 have played
against, twirler who impressed me more
favorably than Hughes. Immediately
after the game at Sacramento 1 wired
Hanlon, telling him thai 1 thought had
discovered a phenomenal pitcher. He
quickly answered that if, in my Judgment,
Hughes would do for the National League
TO sign him. Negotiations were opened
and the result is that Hughes will wear a
