HAVING A GREAT RUN ON CHAM

Manager Martin, of the Pierson drug
store, informs us that he is having a
great run on Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. He sells five bottles of that medi-
cine to one of any other kind, and it gives
great satisfaction. In these days of la
grippe there is nothing like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to stop the cough,
heal up the sore throat and lungs and
give relief within a very short time.

INTERESTING COTTON FIGURES.

From the day that Neill gave out his
until the tremendous efforts of Price. Nc
Cormick and Company, last week. every
influence which the English spinners and
bears could command has been exerted
TO press down the price Of cotton. 1t
was largely due to the earnest efforts
of such papers as the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, Houston Post, the News and Obser-
yer, that the NELL predictions We're
shown to be false. The people have
known more about the present cotton
crop than ever before, and so when last
week the New York firm tried to stam-
pede the market and make everybody
hasten to sell, it was failure. The peo-
pie We're too we'll posted TO be influenced
by reports that were as far wrong as
the NELL predictions were wide Of the
mark.
The best estimate of the cotton crop is
about eight and half million bales.

A WONDERFUL RECORD.

Twelve years ago the Raleigh Savings
Bank began business with n capital of
$4,000. The capital has never been IN
creased. The deposits of the bank now
exceed three hundred thousand dollars
and last year it paid ten thousand dol
lars in interest TO depositors, and de-
clared dividend of twelve per cent
to its stockholders.
The stock in this bank has been in
great demand and much of it has recent
~ changed hands ut prices that are I'M
precedented in North Carolina bank
stock. One gentleman who owned $1,000
worth of stock. on which he has been
receiving dividend of eight per cent
all along, sold it for $4,000 and other
sales have been made at the same rate.
This is truly wonderful record.

one OF the most remarkable feats
to be noted With the closing Of the CEN
fury is the rapid strides with which the
evolution Of humanity has proceeded
during the hundred years that are
about to elapse. sThe signal event of
this epoch is the astonishing progress
that has been the dominant influence
Of the people who speak the English
language, represented by the United
States anu Great Britain.
when the century began" says the
Journal of Commerce, these people
numbered only 100000, or 100000
less than the people who spoke Ger
man, 100000 less than those who
spoke French and 100000 less even
than those who spoke Spanish AS the
century draws to It's close, the people
who speak English as their mother
tongue number $4,000, oOO-nn increase
Of an per cent and a greater number
than all the people who speak French
and German combined. AT the end OF
the last century there were in these
United states only 100000 inhablt-
ants; the census with which this one
will terminate will hardly show less
than 75,OOo,OOO. In the same period the
population Of the United Kingdom has
grown from 100000 to 100000, and
the colOnists Of English race have In
creased from few hundred thousand
to between eleven and twelve millions.
At the beginning Of the century the
population Of the European continent
was 17O,OOoOOO. AT It's close the total
approaches S4s.OOo,OOO.
"Thus. while at the end Of the last
century. the EngliBh-spealtng family
was outnumbered by the nations Of
continental Europe in the proportion
Of eight to one, It Is OutnumbOred BY

London News: Sleep Is not "the
brother Of DEATH" as the poets have
said, from Homer to Shelley; but, on
the contrary, "sleep is the brother Of
life." SO Professor Baschide asserts,
who. in an article in the Naturwlssen-
schaftiiche Rundschau, gives an ac-
count OF his Experiments upon thirty
six dreamers." His subjects were Of
various ages, from one year to eighty
years. In some cases his observations
were continued during the whole night
and in others for a great part Of the
night. He watched and recorded every
change Of physiognomy, every move
ment OF the limbs. and every speech
or sound uttered by the unconscious
dreamers. The depth Of the sleep was
also carefully measured, while from
time to time the dreamers were awak-
ened, but without their own percep-
ton that the awakening was inten-
tlonal. The professor obtained, as he
writes at length, the following results:
~ We dream throughout the whole Of
our sleep. even in that DEEPEST sleep
which we imagine to be "dreamleSs."
(2) There is an intimate connection be-
tween the depth Of our sleep and the
character OF our dreams. The deeper
the sleep, the further back travels the
retrospect into the past experiences of
life, and also the more remote are the
contents OF dream from reality. In a
light sleep, on the contrary, the sub
ject of the dream relates to the expert
ences and excitements Of the day, and
has a character of probability. go In
q comatose sleep the professor thinks
there may. perhaps, be no dreaming.
~ Persons who assert that they do
not dream fare the victims Of q
phychical delusion." % Dreams Of a
moderate character remain longest in
the memory; the wilder the dream the
sooner 1t Is forgotten.
