behind closed doors, and not until it was
concluded could anyone on the outside j,
learn nything of it's details. When the ~
applicants came marching forth King
was among them, but mercy O man! in
stead of the triumphant leer which every
one expected to see on his countenance,
his looks betokened dependency and dis
appointment. Upon being gently ques-
toned by an onlooker he broke forth
into a storm of angry invective: Its a.
damned outrage! a damned ornery OUT
rage: an eternal! low down tnieving
Yankee trick!' he howled, getting hotter
and madden all the time. At length a
friend led him away from the crowd I'M
til he could cool Off. When his compos-
ure was restored he returned and gave !.
the following account of himself: 'YoHN
see. boys, when 1 axed that blamed in
| spector about that air essay as he called
it, thar was that about him which as
| good as said that Old Abe Lincoln was
the chap what we would be made to-
write about, and he can say what he
| derned pleases, but that ornery sneak
knowed 1 thought SO. and he let me go
on without telling me better. Wall, L
went straight home and looked up a
book called Life of Abraham Lincoln"
which my old oman bought from d ped
Ter about ten years ago. l TUX this book
and went to work. I'd read a little bit,
then write a little bit, and by four
o'clock in the morning l had the n~eatest,
~purtiest piece writ that ever you seed.
1 allow it would make any man in North
Caiiny cry like a baby to read it. So with
my assay, or whatever the derned thing
| is called, l went to the examination.
Then what happened? Why that damned
dirty ornery sneak of an inspector, in
stead of telling us to write about Abe
Lincoln, axed US to each furnish him a
a man whom nobody in these mountains
kncwed nothing about. [ tell you it
were q shame! a damned shame!"
But did you not write a sketch of the
life Of Washington" asked a specta-
tor.
"oh, I started one" replied King, but
all that I could remember about him
were that he were born in Bethlehem and
were killed at the battle of Waterloo, SO
l tore it up at the last minute" So say
ing and still uttering curses not loud but
deep, Mr.. King wendell his way home
ward, a sadder though a wiser man.
1t is rumored tonight that King will
take his case direct to the President,
and seek redress at his hands. AS he
and the President belong to the same
political party there is 40 telling what
will be the outcome of the affair. Mean
time, considering discretion the better
part of valor, the inspector has prudently
packed his grip and other belongings
and left for other fields of adventure.

Tie best evidence of the INDUS
trial possibilities of North Carolina
is found in the progress made dur
ing the past few years. Accord
ing to the reports of the Twelfth
Census there was more capital eZn-
uIoyed in one single industry in
1900 than there was in all the in
dustEies in the State in 1890. Ten
c~ouuties now have more money in
vested in manufacturing enter
priscs than the entire State had
ten years ago. The va1ue of pro-
duets in the two Industries Of cot
tom manufacturing and lumber is
now greater than that OF all the
manufactured products OF the
State in 1890. From 1890 to 1900
the capital invested in m~anufac-
turing increased nearly 134 per
cent. and the value of n2anufac-
tvred products increased 3 per
cent.
COTTON MANUFACTURING.
It will be interesting to note somewhat
in detail a few of those Industries in
which the most notable progress has
been made. First in Importance on ac-
count of it's magnitude and also on &C.
count of the opportunity it offers fol-
profitable investment is that of cottor
manufacturing. In 1890 there were nine
ty-one cotton mills in the State with 6
capital Of about ten and ~three-quarteI
millions of dollars, while in 1900 there
were III mills with a capital of $33,011,
516. The value of the cotton mill pro
ducts in 1890 was 50, 563, 443, and in 1906

cage board OF trade and the board Of
trade operators, james a. Patten;

ing the defendants from asking the
president of the board of trade to in
dorse down margins deposited by the
complainants. Waite, Thorburn q Co.,
to secure $4,000 bushels OF short sales.
The court held Il session before the
opening hour of the board of trade
in order that Il decision might be ar
rived at before business was begun.
So important however, did the court
consider the precedent of the case that
a motion by the complainants for a
dissolution OF the temporary injunc-
ton was not considered, and the case
will come up for further adjudication
next week.
The effect Of the action of the court
is for the time to protect the ,cOmplain-
ants against any alleged corner, and
is construed as working against the
bull clique of operators ON the board.

Rats and Mice and Large Animals.


How many people are there who
know that elephants, rhinoceroses and
other large thick skinned animals have
formidable enemies in rats and mice?
These small, rascally rodents have
found that the feet of the elephant are
excellent eating and have no hesitation
IN gnawing at them when the animal
lies down, when, owing to its confined
condition, it is not very we'll able to
defend itself against it's puny enemies.
10 protect these vast creatures it is
found necessary in most menageries to
keep terriers about the cages. These
little fellows very soon dispose of the
pachyderms tiny adversaries. 1t was
recently discovered in a we'll known
menagerie that the mice and rats had
been very busy with the hide of rhi-
noceros. A Scotch terrier, Fanny, was
put into the cage of the huge beast, and
in the first night she had killed no few
er than twenty-seven rats. In few
days there were no rats left to nibble
the hide of the poor rhinoceros.

The Arabs of Syria.

changes his name after the birth of
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
father Of" Thus, if the son is called
Fudle Allah, Gods Bounty" the ia
Their will be henceforth known as Abu
Fudle Allah, Father of Gods Bounty"
In like manner the mother would be-
come known as En- Fudle Allah, Moth
er Of Gods Bounty" This custom is
not merely one of common speech, but
extends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when a man though married has
no son the courtesy of oriental soci-
ETY. demands that he should be adj
dressed as Abu Salim or Abu Nah
moud, after an imaginary son whom

The English walnut is said to be the
most profitable of all nut bearing trees.
When in full vigor, they will yield

The nuts sell on an average at about
