The Endorsement
Is Not Qualified.

MIR. LAWRENCE S. HOLT, of Bur-
n lington, N. c., is recognized as one
of the most reliable, conservative and
wealthiest business men in North Caro-
lima. He was one of the pioneers in the
manufacture of cotton in the South after
the war. He is policy holder in the
MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSUR-
ANCE CO., of Newark, N. j., as we'll as
in all the other leading companies, there
fore his unqualified endorsement should
have weight with those contemplating
insurng their lives. Read what he says
in letter addressed to the State Agent
for North Carolina.
BURLINGTON, N. c., April 22.-Dear
Sir: am this day in receipt of my pol
icy, No. 1869, in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N. j.,
for $4,000 on the ten payment plan. l
commenced insuring my life some Is
years ago, and have examined the various
plans and companies. The Mutual Ben
eft I have carefully looked into, and in
consideration Of its age, great strength,
economical management, large divi.
dends, and especially the many liberal
features of its policy, I PRONOUNCE 1T
THE MOST DESIRABLE LIFE INSURANCE
KNOW OF. Yours truly,
LAWRENCE s. HOLT.

cal career-yet twice during that pc
riod be made himself self-supporting,
once in Jackson and again after his re-
moval to Lincoln. Besides that he de-
clined to accept salary of $4,000 a
year from the Standard Oil company,
preferring to live more economically
and fight against the abuses of such
overgrown corporations.
He has much more solid record as
lawyer and business man than Pres
ident Mckinley. For one thing, no
man has ever been called upon to pay
his debts, and / personally know that
be has helped many an unfortunate
friend out of his troubles.
Another fact about Mr.. Bryan has
become known since 1896-he cannot
be used by other men-he is not weak
or invertebrate. He is the master
rather than the servant of those who
surround him. 1t was said in the
last campaign that if this uniformed
inexperienced youth from the prai'
ries of Nebraska should be seated in
the White House his every act would
be dictated by cranks and fanatics
But today the whole nation can wit
ness in every part of the country the
evidences of this mans indomitable
will and unconquerable courage.
am quite sure that if the Demo
cratic National platform should fail
to meet his convictions he would de-
cline to be the Democratic candidate,
although he would vote the Democrat
ic ticket.
MY own judgment is that he will
have no rival in the National Conven
ton, and will be nominated by accla
nation. 1t is too soon to express s
positive opinion regarding his chances
of election. But l should say that be
is much more popular than when he
was last a candidate, and that if the
contest is to be between Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Bryan the present prospect
favors Mr.. Bryan's election.
1t is a long look ahead, but at the
same stage of events preceding the las
national conventions | succeeded ir
demonstrating to my own satisfaction
at least, Mr.. McKinley's nomination
and election, and I do not fear tt
make a prediction now, with all the
reserve arising from the fact that
prophet can never hope to be as accu
rate as a historian.

PROFITS IN GOAT RAISING.

In the wear book of the United States
department of agriculture, Mr.. Almont
Barnes, of the division of statistics,
"On Keeping Goats for Profit" sug-
gests that raising common goats may
be made paying business in some por-
tions of the United States. The de-
mand for dry skins in this country now
requires the annual slaughter of over
16,OOO,O 900 goats, while in the United
States only about 100000 goats are
raised. The imports of skins for the
year ending June 80, 1898, were valued
at $15,776,6O1. Mr.. Barnes thinks a
large portion of the unimproved land
in the south Atlantic, central and
western divisions might be profitably
devoted to goat raising, though cheap
labor would be required. This can be
had wherever there is a large Negro
or Mexican population.
Mr.. Barnes reaches the conclusions
l. That the United States imports a
large and steadily increasing amount
of goat skins for necessary use in home
manufactures.
2. That there is an aggregate area
of 265,OOO,OOO acres of unimproved
farm land in the United States, large
part of which is adapted to goats.
8. Over 81 per cent. of this unim-
proved land is contained in the south
Atlantic, south central and a part OF
the western states, where the condi-
tions are more favorable than the aver
age as to labor and climate.
4. These favorable conditions are
emphasized in much of the district by
reason of the abundance of cheap la
Dor due to dense Negro population.
5. The testimony of all goat raisers
confirms the special and favorable con-
ditions, as relates to Angoras and to
goats for milk. :.
Altogether, it is concluded that it
would be easy and relatively inexpen-
sive to furnish the home market with
the goat skins now imported to the
value of $25,O0O,O 900 per year.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Ink stains on marble may be remov-
ed with salts of lemon.
Soda should be used to wash any
thing that is greasy. The alkali causes
the grease to turn into soap, which
does the work of cleaning.
To remove oil stains from wood,
cover them with stiff paste made of
pipe clay and water. Leave till the
next day, when the marks will have
disappeared. -.
To conceal cracks in floors first oil
the floor with boiled linseed oil and
thoroughly fill the cracks with putty.
When quite dry the floor should be
painted, and the cracks will then be
invisible.
Shred finely two ounces of beeswax
and one ounce of yellow soap into a
jar. Pour over enough turpentine to
cover and dissolve slowly on the stove,
stirring occasionally with a piece OF
stick. When cool, this compound will
be good floor polish.
To renovate soiled pack of card
rub over each card with a small piece
of butter applied with piece of fian-
mel. Continue rubbing till the butter
has absorbed the dirt and it has in
turn been absorbed by the flannel.
Then gloss the cards by polishing them
with foury flannel.
To polish tortoise shell combs which
have become shabby, rub them with
rotten stone mixed with little olive
oil. The rotten stone should be sifted
through piece of fine muslin before
being mixed with the oil. When all
marks have been removed from the
tortoise shell, polish again with piece
of very soft leather and little silver
smiths rouge.
To clean a silverpot, twice q week
after washing, fill the teapot with hot
soda water and allow it to remain for
a couple of hours. Then empty the
pot and rinse it thoroughly with clean
water. 1t is not sufficient that the
teapot should be bright and clean
merely on the outside, for unless it is
perfectly clean inside also it will make
bad tasting and unwholesome tea.

A QUESTION OF STANDPOINT.

The number of artists in Chicago
was increased recently by the arrival
of one from a distant city who during
his leisure moments strolled about the
downtown streets seeing the sights.
Passing store where a number OF
paintings were displayed in the win

Standing before a landscape about
1Ox14 inches in size he assumed the
manner of an admirer of art, and
awaited the approach of the proprie-

The latter advanced smiling and
rubbing his hands. He grasped the
visitor cordially, and said:
"You are an admirer of paintings,
