Mothers advice is worth more than
the advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perp1exed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to "write to
z0onsan," who is a stranger.
There may, however, be need for
PhySfcian's advice to supplement the ad-
vice of the mother. In such a case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DIR. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
arninat1ons and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ai1ing woman is invited to
write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
In a plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements
offering "medica1 advice,' which are
published by those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such ad-
vice. Any physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice" and invite
you to write to woman" do not claim
that the woman is q doctor. The "medi-
cal advice" of an unprofessienal woman
Is Just as dangerous as the medical
advice" of an unprofessiona1 man. In
more than thirty years DIR. Pierce and his
staff of nearly a score of medical special
lists, have successfully treated over half a
million women. You can write without
fear as without fee to DIR. r. v. Pierce,

Man Found Dead.

Tarboro, N. c., Aug. 8.-The
dead body of white man named
Gregory was found by the side
of the Norfolk & Carolina rail :
road this morning, about one mile
from the Atlantic Coast Line de-
pot here. It is supposed that an
outgoing freight train ran against
the man, though there were clear
signs of foul play. Many believe
that the man had been killed and
put near the track. A coroner 8
Jury was summoned to Investigate
the matter, but as yet no report
has been made.

The Arlington Hotel Was at One Time
Seriously Thereatened.
Daily Argus, Friday last.
At one time last night Colds
boro was threatened with a big
and destructive fire. The Arling-
ion Hotel, which is the second
largest building in the city, was
the scene OF the coEfagration.
Wnile the town clock OF Mr..
l. d. Giddens was striking the
hour OF IL the alarm of fire was
turned in from box 19 and the
heavy laundering tones of the
fire bell broke the quietude of a
summer night and called forth a
mum Der of citizens and the entire
fire department.
The horse hose wagon of No.
1 company was the first On the
scene. The flames were leaping
from the windows and doors of
the second story, but two streams
OF water from each side Of the
house soon left the interior Of
the building in darkness. The
flames were exringuished in five
minutes and nothing but smoke
and steam were to be seen.
The Arlington is occupied by
d NUM- Der of tenants on the up
per floor. When the cry Of fire
was heard, women and children
came rushing from the building
in terror and fright. Their fears
were Immediately allayed on the
arrival Of the fire department.
That the building is standing tos
day is due TO the efficiency OF the
fire depart ment of Goldsboro,
than which there is none better.
The fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of a lamp in the bath
room at the head of the first
fight OF stairs leading up from
East Centre street. The amount
of the damage, has not been full
ly determined.

A SAFE RULE.

We publish in this issue an
elaborate DISC aisition upon the
relative merits Of the square
'stand ARD" bale of cotton and
the newly proposed and much
advocated roundlap bale. Behind
the latter is said to be the strong
est ".rust" in the world. It is a
safe rule for the farmer to adop',
that he foster nothing that is
promoted by trust. Hence the
standard square bale - that
any ordinary farmer can pre-
pare for market with little lngenu-
.ity-aside from its superior mer-
it from a commercial stand
point, should be still the bale .of
the farmer, and they will be wise
to favor no other.

TEN DAYS MEETING
At the Presbyterian Church, at
Seven Springs.


The communion vas celebrated
on the 5th Sabbath. A large num-
Der of believers j oined in the ser
vice. I he whole audience seemed
to be melted down with sense
Eof Coos mercy as seen in the
Crucifxion of His Son. We got
very near to God. "Olr hearts
burned within u.s. as We thought,
and speks of the inspired word
as it is written in 2. Cor. X 20;
Now then we are ambassadors,
for Chris, as though God did
beseech you by US; We pray you
in Christ's stead be ye reconciled
to God.
Ga Monday I preached on
the first essential attitude of
the Church in order to secure
revival. Acts IA,
Rev. F. w. FAIRIES, whose SER
vices had been secured, came to
US Monday night. His irs5 SER
mon was TO the young people, a
a large number of whom were
present. He spoke with great
power to the audience from the
stand point Of a young man. He
continued to speak from day to
day on we'll chosen subj al
legius, and proving Coos claims
upon US with a clearness that I
have sedom heard equaled.
Ga Wednesday the believers
here reconsecrated themselves to
Coos work here, and said in
their hearts, Here am-I"; send
me to this work in our midst.
God heard them and wrought
with them and gave them time
Of refreshing from His presence.
Three persons, two Of them heads
of families, decided for Christ.
We hear that another whole fam
lily will come into the church.
These results were accomplished
Notwithstanding the fact that a
large number were kept from
the meeting, except occasionally,
by the pressing demands Of their
tobacco crops, The clouds and
rains also broke at times the cur
rent of attendance. But God
broke through these hindrauces
and rained His mercy upon US
from Heaven. It was noticeable
that all denominations co opera
ted cordially with US. We were
beautifully entertained during
the meeting at the home of Col.
w. B. Whitfield and his beloved
sister NJ SIS Mary. Their house is
very near the church, We dined
on the last day of the meeting
with the Davis family, about 25
In number. Their elegant table
was spread very near the fa-
NOUS Seven Springs. So we ate
our dinner, and drank of the
healing waters Of these springs,
while administering the water of
life to those around US.
We were greatly helped in our
song service, by Miss Katie
Mcneil, who came from La
Grange. and assisted our organs

come elongated like an uncOlled
spring. Il is as hard to discharge
an elongated Lowry bale from a
ships hold as it is 10 discharge
an unrolled roundlap bale in case
of fire.
The difficulty of sampling a
round bale operates against the
chance of making spot sales of
uchcotton.
Foreign spinners are dissatis-
fed with their experiences with
the round bale. Read their own
statements on the subject.
The round bales do not get re-
duction in insurance rates. They
might claim to do sc, but~it is
only claim.
In case of fire the spaces be-
tween round bales act as fues
and carry the flames through
press, warehouse Or ships hold.
The standard bale admits of no
air passages. They stow closely
one against the other.
Standard 24x54 bales will be
accorded forty per cent reduction
in ocean freight rates over irregu.
lar bales. This is another reason
why you should change your gin
box to standard measurements.
The round bale companies say
they will pay port prices at ins
terror points. Do not be fooled.
They will only give you cold
blooded classification. If your
cotton classes barely middling
they will grade it as low middling
and pay for it as such. They will
not pay you any premiumNf for ex-
ira staple or for the quarter
grades.
The one per cent. tare claimed
by the trust in favor of the round
bale is a claim set up by them
selves alone. No recognized au-
thority, individual, body or asso-
citation has ever fixed the tare on
around bale package at one per
cent.
Round bales average $50 pounds
in weight. Square bales average
500 pounds in weight. 1t takes as
much time and as much labor to
handle the one package of half the
weight as it does the other with
twice the weight. This. means a
difference in cost of handling in
favor of the sqoare bale.
Subjecting damp cotton, just
picked from the field, to the heavy
pressure necessary under the
round bale system, presses the oil
from the fibre, mats the lint and
causes vegetable decomposition.
This decomposition on round
bales runs from twenty to one
hundred pounds. It is just that
much cotton absolutely lost.
The round bale system does not
allow the cotton to dry out. The
very opposite is true with the
square bale.
The round bale is purely an ex-
hibition bale. Handle s'with care
and no. hooks is the only way to
treat them. 1t cannot be treated as
an article of commerce, but must
be handled as work of art.
Finally-To allow the introduc-
tion of round press gin in your
plant means the revolutionizing of
your business, the risk of putting
yourself wholly in the hands of
gigantic trust, the positive loss
that you will sustain for reasons
shown herein and the almost GER
tainty of the trust treating you
just as keys and scores of other
ginners have been treated after
they had been imposed upon by
the trust agents.

G0LDSBORO's POSITION

M ent at Greensboro,
Communicated

A the State EIromen IOurna.
M ent ut Greensboro.
Communicated
While wounds over irjustices at
the hands of tournament officials
and the Greensboro Fire Depart
ment are yet unhealetl, infamous
attacks.en our conduct and char
acter come so frequently before
the unknowing public that it be-
comas necessary for self respect
ing citizen to say word in de-
fence of the department.
The Goldsboro Fire Departm ent
Is composed mainly of representa-
tives of the best families of our
town all of whom are. business
men and gentlemen. The depart-
ment has no use for loafors and
idlers. Naturally such an organ
izstion has the support of the en-
tire community. On the other
hand, every fireman holds it bis
personal duty to make our depart
ment the best in the State. With
such energy and character from
within and so much enthusiastic
support from without it wss but
to be expected that GoIdsboro
should be awarded the first prize
for the best manned and equipped
department. This all Greensboro
recognized. As to the fine deport-
ment and character of the men,
hundreds of distinguished visitors
and citizens have testified, and the
Greensboro Record has voiced the
sentiment of all fairminded judges.
Systematic in our training we
felt with fair treatment confident
of success.
The fruits of our training we
displayed before all contesting
teams. Unfortunately we were
denied that which all gentlemen
have at all times a right to ex-
pect, fairness.
To lower all State records aud
then to be deprived of prize
which is fairly won would exas-
perate a saint, much more an
ardent fireman who has cherished
an ideal through two months of
hard training. Then wher, like
men, we arose in righteous ins
dignation a. this trickery. and
branded the principals as "Rob
ers", even our good name-thst
which we have ceasely striven to
return inviolata to our native
town, is now being held in jeop-
ardy by these very kuaves be-
fore the bar OF public opinion.
For this they have accused US of
being drunkards, blackguards,
and guilty of every indecency.
We deny these weaklings'charges
and affirm them to be as abusive
as they are false. They are but
the fangless stings of a venes
nous serpent polluting moth
ing but the air in which they
hiss.
To the Good people of Green's
boro our boys have never been
ill disposed. We, as appreciatiye
fremep, thank you most heartily
for your numerous courtesies and
in return we pledge our words as
gentlemen we have never abused
your hospitality. Our only miss
giving is that your fire depart
ment should have allowed such
unfairness to be perpetrated in
SO fair city.
