Two departments are begun in the
September Everybody's. One is de-
partment of humor, the other depart
ment of practical suggestions for wo-
men who wish to make money by home
work. There are thousands of women
who, if trained, would be excellent
workers, and others who could execute
ably If plans were devised for them.
The feature of the number is Frederic

The well-known magazine Success"
of New York, has just completed one
of the most novel. and, in its results,
extraordinary campaigns for subscrip-
tons, ever undertaken by an American
publication. About year ago, 1t Sc
cured from some of the strongest
periodicals in the country, unusually
low prices for annual subscriptions,
and, combining an annual subscription
to Success" with subscriptions TO
other magazines, it extensively adver-
tised Success Clubbing Offers" at
large reductions from regular prices.
The result has more shan justified the
confidence of Success" in the ability
of the great American public to absorb
periodical Literature. Not only has IL
added over 100000 subscribers to it's
own list but II has sent "The Review
of Reviews nearly $4,000 new subscrib-
ers: the Cosmopolitan" between $4,000
and 600; "McClure's" over 10000, and
other magazines many thousands each.
This campaign has completely revo-
lutionized prevailing ideas about cir
culation- getting, and Success" will
undoubtedly have some competition in
this line next fall. but 1t has just COM
pleted contracts with the strongest and
best magazines in the country for the
subscription season just opening, and
IL is understood that the Success
offers will be even more popular this
year than last. Success" itself, is one
OF the clearest and most "up-to- date
magazines published. 1t is bright,
cheerful and optimistic,-and inspira-
ton and life are in every page. In a
thousand different ways, direct and in

lions of true success in life,--how to

4 MEDICAL HUMBUG.

There are quacks and humbugs. in
! ali professions and callings, and be-
cause most doctors are honest and cap
able we have little federation for the
humbugs who invade that noble call
ing. About the biggest humbug who
has climbed to a high position in the
profession is DIR. James F. Goodhart,
who. in an address before the British
Medical Association, confessed himself to
I be humbrg and cast a slur on all his
profession. Answering the question,
'Why do We give drugs?" he declared
it was mot because the disease de-
mands one but because the patient is
not happy till he gets it, and it was
sometimes given ito hide our ignorance
or to mark time while we watch ana
wait; they are given sometimes as a
gambler on the Stock Exchange spec
ulates in futures He also says thar
"all treatment by drugs is more or
less of an experiment"
If this eminent physician is tell
ing the truth about himself, and is
correctly reported, he is very much of
humbug, and 1T is strange his pa
tients have rot discovered it.

NOT MIXED BLOOD.

DR.. Henry Gannett has this para
graph about 'The Composite American
in late issue of Everybody's Maya
zine:
1.-THE average adult American is a
statistical octoroon. If the blood in
the veins of all our people, white and
black. were pooled and redistributed.
each person would have about seven
parts white and one part negro blood .
OF course DR.. Gannett didn't mean to
convey the idea that there is negro
blood in most of the people but that
one-eightt of the population has negro
blood, but his sentence would mislead
any foreigner In truth the. strain OF
English blood is purer here than any
where in the world. This is particular
w true in North Carolina which has
only 4,492 inhabitants of foreign birth.

.woODsMAN SPARE THAT TREE.

Cant. n. A. Ramsey, in an earnest
article in the Durham Herald, has
/ touched a. responsive chord in the hearts
Of all who oppose tree cutting. Some
wears ago Greensboro had beautiful
shade trees up to the Benbow. The
"boom' came on ana because there are
no shade trees on Fifth Avenue in
New York city, those beautiful shade
trees were sacrificed. They were worth
a billion dollars to Greensboro and now
no money can replace them. Somebody
thought the roots of the elm trees got
into the sewer pipes in the town of
Wilson and work. was begun to cut
down the beautiful elms-the GROWING
glory of that lovely town-and some
were killed before a halt was called.
In his argument against cutting down
shade trees in Durham Capt. Ramsey
makes reference to a venerable old tree
iR Raleigh which is beyond value ex
pressed in money. We quote:
I'm our capital city at the northwest
intersection of Edenton and Blount
streets, within the curbstone lines,
stands a magnificent oak tree, which,
for the past two hundred years or more
has been stretching out it's magnificent
arms heavenward and to all points OF
the compass. 1t has defied a thousand
storms. Thunder bolts often caused IL
to tremble, and the lurid lightnings
have flashed and spanked among its
branches for many generations, yet no
harm has ever yet befallen it, Only a
few days ago it was standing in all its
beauty and majesty. Whoever puts an
axe to the root of this grand old mon
arch of the forest let him be Anathema
Maranatha. A few years ago the street
committee of the city of Raleigh, con
cfuded they would cut this old tree
down, but. they didn't do it. There isn't
man, woman or child that has a soul
in them, in that city, that does npt
love this grand old towering monarch.
Long may it WaVe.'"

THE COTTON CROP AND PRICES

me opening of the cotton market
gives farmers hope of getting fair
price for the very short crop which has
been made in most parts of the South.
The advi,e from Texas are to the eff
feet that the crop of that State is likely
to be one million bales short of last
year. The New Orleans Picayune come,
as near being authority about cotton
as any paper in the country. 1t says
that reports as to the size Of the crops
ARE very conflicting" and in review
OF the cotton situation says:
There has undoubtedly been a long
dry spell over large section of that
State, and private as we'll as public ac-
counts agree that cotton has been unra.
vorably affected in the districts which
have suffered from drought To wha,
extent this drought damage will cut
down the Texas crop is the problem,
Texas is a great State, and it is con-
stantly extending its cotton acreage:
hence unfavorable conditions affecting
one section of the State are no precist
indications OF what the ultimate yield
for the whole State will be. In thi.
connection it is worth remembering
that at this time last year, Texas was
being visited by a series of excessive
rains, the stormy period culminatins
in the terrible hurricane at Galveston.
1t was generally predicted and believed
that the excessive rains and storms
would considerably reduce the Texas
crop. The actual result has been
bumper yield. OF course the conditions
this year are the very opposite of those
which prevailed a year ago and many
Pwifl argue that because a wet year pro-
duced big crop dry season should
produce small one. 30
While it must be admitted that the
usual uncertainty as to the outcome of
the crop prevails, there is a leaning to-
ward the short crop view. OF course,
short crop means high prices, and
high prices are extremely tempting,
particularly to those farmers who hay.,
good crops to market. There is. there
fore, no danger that damage reports
Will be held back, although not so
much will be said as to the condition
OF things in the more favored districts.
Favorable reports are not conducive 10

discusses the fact that in recent years
it has become common in Louisiana for
that negro men seldom fall on the barred

Until recent years suicide among ne

is perhaps because of the responsibility
that rests upon them to care for them

not stop with his vigorous criticism OF

to Washington city, where he secured
promise from the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington to send an ex-
pert Immediately to investigate the
