ATTENTION, COTTON FARMERS!

Secretary Parker Urges That County Organ
~izations be Perfected at Once.
Correspondence of Progressive Farmer.
, A letter just received from Mr.
w. G. Stone, Enfield, who is Score
tary of the Cotton Farmers Associa-
ton of Halifax county, says that
they effected a temporary organizs-
ton the 5th, and appointed organic
ers for the county 80 as to be ready
for the permanent organization 21st
inst. He writes that everything
looks encouraging and says that the
planters of Halifax county will stand
firm in the movement. This seems
to be the sentiment in the various
sections that I have heard from.
There are only a few counties that I
have not heard from. I hope that
these will take steps for organizing
before the 23d, so that every cotton
growing county in the State will be
represented as the meeting in Raj
eigh, Wednesday of Fair week.

Swamp-Root will do just as much

who is always tired and overwrought,
who feels that the cares of life are
more than she can stand. It is a
boon to the weak and ailing.

gale stays carried away. The fore
royal mast was sprung and the fore
royal stay was off.
All hands were on deck from the
time that the captain was lost until
the fury of the gale abated.
At o'clock there was three feet of
water in the hold Very little could
be done with the pumps for the reason
that the seas We're continually wash
ing about the decks, and 1t was all the
men could do to hold on for their lives.
They were thrown off their feet and
hurled against the bulwarks whenever
they tried to move from a firm hold
on the rigging. Most of the men were
demoralized They paid but little at
tention TO the orders of the officers.
Indeed, after the captain had been lost,
it was doubtful for a time who was
commanding the vessel. The mate was
sick in his bunk. The second mate,
young fellow who has had very little
experience, was not equal to the occa-
sion. 1t was the boatswain VINO step
ped into the breach and gave orders
for the handling of the ship.
AS daylight came the wind and sea
went down together
Shortly after 8 o'clock in the morn
ing one of the crew. r. Emmett, was
thrown under the pumpwheel by a sea
which boarded the vessel. His right
arm was broken above the elbow This
put him out of commission, and the
boatswain had to busy himself with
setting the broken limb.
Towards midday the gale had about
blown itself out. All hands were or
dered to the pumps. and some of the
water was gotten out of her hold
Then did the crew set to work to clear
up a little after the havoc of the
storm.
1t was three weeks after the captain
was lost before the mate, Lawrence,
was able to get out of his bunk. In
the meanwhile the boatswain did duty.
When the mate got on deck he re-
quested the boatswain to continue as
commander, as he claimed that he was

MONSIEUR TURoT.

BY d strange coincidence there are
two globe racers on the Peking. One
has had every detail of his way care
fully planned before he even bought
his first railroad ticket. The other man
is, save for the fact that he is a self
respecting individual, little more than
a vagabond. When on land he is,
through the terms of his contract,
bound to travel from one city to an
other on a bicycle. He has but one use
for time tables, and that is to know
when trains are coming and going, in
order that he may keep out of their
way. When his journey will have been
completed, this latter tourist will have
consumed almost three years. The first
traveller is Monsieur II. Turot, the rep
reSentative of the Paris Journal. The
second is Max Schiller. German writer
and correspondent.
The French rival of the three Ameri-
can schoolboys who are racing around
the world is a massive man, We'll above
six feet in height and with a smile that
bespeaks anything but the duelist., He
has a good understanding of English,
and speaks it intelIigently,. although
with some diffidence.
Turot is first of all man of the
world. His compliments are few and
sincere He makes no gestures He
discusses the great race around the
world with practical earnestness.- He

unable to navigate lube therefore
continued to live aft and to command.
The mate continued to act ass mate.
lube was the only navigator aboard
the Thomas. The command naturally
fell to him. Shippers who went aboard
the Thomas last night think that lube
did we'll to bring the Thomas safely
to this port, considering the crew he
has, and the damage which the vessel
has sustained
There were queer stories afioat about
this affair on the waterfront last night.
People thought that there must be some
thing in the Thomas story other than
the mere losing of the captain over
board The foremost hands would talk
very little. They said queer things about
the mate; that he was a morphine fiend
and that he had been of no use on the
voyage. lube, the acting captain, has
possession of the ships papers, navigated
the vessel to this port, thinking that he
could do better than TO bring her
here. and in fact, has done everything
since the death of the captain that would
have been done by the captain himself.
Yet, when the mate was seen last night,
he said that he was the commander of
the boatswain, as to who was in COM
mand Gld not agree. The mate is very
sick. He has been advised to go to the
hospital.
lube referred the reporter to the log
for the story of the loss of the captain.
The above account Is mainly taken from
the log. The story is short and simple,
but there are those who are not satisfied
They are of the opinion that the crew
can tell a more exciting story If they
feel so inclined. The rumors On the wa
terfront last night were of mutiny and
treachery.
| Whether there is anything in these ru-
mors, and 4. there is a mystery connect
ed with the story of the Thomas, remains
to be seen.
