The Only Man Abandoning Alaska.

From the Everett, Washington,
NeWs, of March 18th, we take the
following concerning a former well
known North Carolina newspaper
man-one whose name is familiar to
many of our readers in this State and
Virginia.:
Mr.. w. +. Manning, who has serv-
ed two terms as deputy United States
marshal in Alaska, and has been all
over the coast country, was in Ever
EFT Thursday visiting the News man,
whom he knew dozen years ago. He
resigned his position in January and
now occupies the unique attitude of
being the only man known to be alive
who at this time is abandoning Alas
ka for the States. He says people
are getting too thick up there for
him, but there will be thinning out
within the next year and he may then
return. Mr.. Manning has real estate
interests in Spokane and mining
properties in the eastern portion of
the State, and will spend the next
few months il that vicinity.

Is the only medicine that absolutely and
infal libby cures all blood dieases. 1t

Runaway Accident.
Mr.. James L. Stone, who lives a
few miles from town, had a narrow
escape from serious accident Satur-
day afternoon. Just as he started
home his horse. attached to a wagon,
began to run up on Main street, and
by the time he had got out of the
principal business part it was appar-
ent that the animal was beyond the
old gentleman's control. Instead OF
keeping straight ahead towards home
the horse turned at the Nj. P. church
and ran across the railroad. The
wagon was turned over and MIR.
Stone was thrown violently to the
ground. His head was slightly cut
and he was rendered insensible for a
short while. A large crowd soon
collected and DR.. Goode Cheatham
rendered such professional attention
as was necessary. Regaining con-
sciousness it was ascertained that
Mr.. Stones injuries were not
serious and he was taken home in 8
buggy.
The wagon parted and the real
wheels were left on the railroad while
the other part kept with the horse
until he was stopped a few hundred
yards further.

Tom Dixon said, in a preliminary
address to his sermon, few Sundays
since, that 1.-The flag of Spain must
come down from the island of Cuba!
1t is the last red rag of tyrant that
darkens the sky of America. And
by the God of our fathers it shall
come down." Wonder if Mr.. Dixon
would take his gun and 90 to the
front if war should be declared. Usu-
ally the man who does so much blow
ing and clustering and ''chewing the
rag before the fight comes on is the
fellow who wants to do his fighting
by proxy when it is necessary to
fight. We venture the assertion that
Mr.. Dixon will continue to deliver
lectures on Sunday in the Academy of
Music in New York if war is declared
between the United States and Spain
and there is a call for volunteers and
will continue to fight the Spaniards
with his mouth.-Monroe Enquirer.

THE WIDE TIRE.

see that the wider tire is in men,
ton. The wide tire is all right, so
far as packing the road is concerned,
but the mule will have just as big
a load on as if he had a narrow tire.
If the mule can pull five hundred
pounds with the narrow tire he will
have to pull one thousand with the
wide tire. So the wide tire is not
helping the dumb beast out bit.
So you will have to legislative to re-
lieve the mule and the dumb beast.
Gold Rock, N. G. B. c. A.
Answer by w. A. Withers, Acting
Director North Carolina Expert
ment Station.
l have read with some interest
your letter in ragard to the wide
tire in which you criticise it unfa-
vorably and make the claim that the
roads are improved by being packed,
but that there is heavier burden
upon the mules. am glad you wrote
me in regard to the matter, as it
gives me an opportunity for refuting
the idea which may be in the minds
of others as well as yourself.
Were it possible to avoid all fric-
ton, and were it possible to have the
load moved on perfect plane, as a
floor, for example, the requirements
in the way of force for moving any
load would practically amount to
nothing. OF course, it is impossible
for us to remove all friction, but
we diminish it as far as possible by
applying grease or oil, or tar to the
axle. Our roads are never level en-
tirely in the first place and even if
they were we find that in rainy
weather the wheels sink in the mud,
and there is, in effect, little hill
every instant over which the load
must be pulled, the Hill being the
distance between the lowest place on
the tire and the height of the road.
You, yourself, doubtless know, by
experience, the trouble in pulling an
ordinary load through the mud. and
you know that the wheel sinks in the
! mud. The effect gained by the wide
tire is to keep the wheels from sink
ing in the mud. 1t is the experience
of all who have used the wide tire
that it diminishes the burden of carry
ing a load very much, and not only
improves the road, as you have sug-
gested, but contrary to your idea,
relieves the animals also. OF course
| if the roads are SO sloppy that the
wheels sink away, even with the wide
tire, then your criticism may be a
| lust one.-The Bulletin.

OF ADVANTAGE TO THE COTTON

Messrs. Bank & Co., of Herando.
Miss, who operate a round-bale COM
press, in a letter in which they refer
to the advantages to the South of the
roundbale system, say:
The advantages of it are many.
We are also farmers, as we'll as
merchants. We figure, and correctly.
that we save $3.50 per bale on every
round bale put up. We gin and wrap
the bale for e, which is fifty cents
per bale less than charged for the
square bale. We give from three
eighths to one-half cent per pound
more for the round bale. We find a
market for it every day, thereby
preventing any loss to us on de-
cline. Heretofore we have had to
ship the square cotton to Memphis.
taking the chances of the market
declining while in transit, and pay
ing $3.50 per bale charges, including
commission, insurance and storage.
With the round bale we get rid Of all
of this. We sell it on our platform
for more than we get in Memphis

on it whatever. The round bale
means simply this-that the COM
mission cotton merchants and COM
press men will have to quit the bus
mess, and that means a saving of at
least s.. % per bale to the farmer,
as all charges are figured against
cotton in the price paid the farmer.
We contemplate putting in a second
press this year. Manufacturers
