had fallen without taking the drink.

Free Cure For MNien

Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so OverfOws with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident OF Kalamazoo, Mich.
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them Of
al the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
The organs to natural size and vIgor. As
t costs nothing to try the experiment il
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
leeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence OF untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result OF
many years research as to what comb
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring TO men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to H. G. Oids, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out OF
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use OF the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

THE COTTON CROP SHORT
is HAS DECLINED NEARLY oNE. THIRD
SINCE SEeri.


The Weekly Crop Bulletia for North
Carolina, issued yesterday by the
Weather Bureau here. says that The
week ending Monday, September 2Ith,
was decidedly lower in temperature, es-
pecally on Tuesday, Wednesday aal
Thursday. which were cold and cloudy,
with brisk northeast winds and rain.
Rain occurred on three days, but aver
aged less than one inch for the State
and though OF some benefit to turnps
and late potatoes, came too late for any
other crops. Neither was there sufficient
rain to fill water courses or wells. At
some points where the rainfall was
heaviest little fall blowing and seed
ing was done at the end of the week,
but at most points but little progress was
possible. The last three days of the
week were warm and dry, and the
drought cannot be considered broken yet.
A touch of frost occurred in the noun
ta:ns without any damage. Cotton is
about all matured and upland all open.
The rainfall was of no value, while the
high wind did some damage by blowing
out cotton. A further deterioration Of
the crop took place during the week and
conservative estimates place the decline
at nearly one third since September LIST
Picking, interrupted for two days by the
rain, has since progressed very rapidly.
Late corn did well in eastern counties;
elsewhere, on account of drought. it
dried immature; it is being gathered. To
bacco is nearly all housed and cured.
Sweet potatoes and peanuts were badly
damaged by drought; digging peanuts is
progressing now. Late Irish potatoes
were helped little by the rain, and
turnips, though looking badly, have start
ed growth since the showers Early
sown rye seems to be making a start,
but most fall seeds are nearly failure
Much re-breaking of wheat land has to
be done. and all fall work is being de-
layed. Large quantities of rough food,
fodder and hay, have been saved in good
condition. Trees are beginning to shed
their leaves.
This is the last bulletin for the season.
Crop correspondents are requested to
discontinue reports. The Section Direc-
tor desires to extend to all his sincere
thanks for valuable services during the
past season, which have been highly aI-
preciated.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The Weekly
Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural De

Except on the Atlantic coast, where
rains have fallen, the week has been ex-
ceptiOnally dry, and upon the whole
very favorable for maturing and gather

however, it has been very unfaVOrable
for termination of sOwn grain, as we'll
as for following and seeding, which is
delayed generally and seeding, which is
trail and Western, and in some of the
Southern States. In Nebraska, how
ever, a large acreage Of wheat has been
sown, much of which is up and doing
nicely. In the Atlantic coast States the
conditions have svbeen more favorable
for fall seeding, and satisfactory pro-
gress has been made.
The frosts of the early part OF the
week proved injurious to late corn in
portions OF Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsyl-
vania, but farther West no serious in
jury is reported, and in some States
cutting is nearing completion.
Cotton picking has been pushed for

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH.
Two Prominent Cubans Clearly
State Their Positions.

New York, Nov. j.-The Herald repro
duces fac smile of u letter sent by Ger.
MaNimo Gomez, also Il statement by Sal
vador Cisneros Betancourt. formerly
president of the Cuban republic, which
will set Mt rest the question as to the nos.
sibility of the insurgents accepting any
terms except absolute independence. 1t
can be stated also that the government at
Washington has letters from General Go
mez and other prominent leaders in the
field in Cuba to the same effect En-
President Cisneros writes as follows:
"Independence or death has been and
is our motto. We would rather see our
beloved country disappear amid D. heap of
ashes than pt any concessions, no
matter how ample, unless they carry
with them the absolute Independence of
Cnta. To obtain this many of Cuba's
best sons have given up their lives: 10
obtBin this many other sons are daily
shedding their blood, which, absorbed by
the plants of our soil, we breath in the
air we inhale."
General Gomez, In his letter, saws:
The enemies of Cuba have circulated in
the United States the rumor that I am
disposed to accept autonomy as a basis
OF settlement or solution of the present
war. The constitution of Cuba abso
lutely establishes in article Il that peace
is to be negotiated upon the basis of the
abso ute independence of Cuba. 1t is TO
obtain independence that we have been
fighting for two years and will continue
to fight until victory be ours. All state.
ments that have been made hitherto or
may in future be published to the effect
that we are willing to accept any solu-
ton short of Independence. should be re-
9arded as false. We will fight for nbso.
lutte independence, rs we stated in the
manifesto issued at Monte Cristi, rs also
it was later set down in our consultation.
and ms we are daily confirming it by the
shedding of our blood on the battlefields."

NOBLE ACQUITTED.
The Court Frees Him From a
Serious Charge.

The case of w. A. Noble, late city au-
ditor, charged with forgery, was con-
tinued before Judge Woods yesterday,
and when the commemorative attorney
attempted to introduce testimony tend
ing to chow that Noble had issued CITY
warrant to himself without authority
from the Council and salary was over
drawn, Mr.. Watts, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, objected on the ground that
while Noble might be guilty of an oirense
he was not guilty of forgery when he
signed his own name to the warrant
After quite spirited discussion be-
tween Commonwealth Attol ney Lyle
and Mr.. Watts, Judge Woods held that
the simple issuance of a city warrant
without authority was not forgery, but
when such IL warrant WAS issued TO OBJ
tain goods or other articles of value the
party so using it would be guilty af OBJ
tanning Voous under false pretenses,
which our law makes larceny.
In rendering his opinion Judge Woods
said he thought cas-. such as the com
'i'Oo "S'iSii oOU5hI ~ sCb up SUt ulU DE
forgery, but it was simply analogous to
one in which rarty purporting to have
authority signs the name of another to
check or note as by himself. This, he
said, had been declared to be no forgery.
He could, therefore. not allow. the trial
to be proceeded with. when the jury
would be so hedgcd about with instruc-
tions as to compel them to find for the
accused. This would, he said. be acting
unfair to the jury ami in directing the
acquittal of the defendant he felt that
he ought to assume the responsibility
Accordingly the jur found verdict
OF not guilty rs instructed. The con.
clusion reached in this case means the
acquittal of Mr. Noble, for while there
are one or more similar charges pending
against him they will be pole pressed or
meet with the same fate as the first case
brought before the court
The decision naturally gives great
satisfaction to Mr.. Noble and his friends.

course as city officer.
