HOW POULTRY PAYS.

There is nothing a farmer can do that
pays so Well as attention to raising
poultry. North Carolina has easy &C
cess to the great cities of the North
and there is always a demand at good
prices for chickens and eggs. The
prices for the first six months have
made the industry very profitable. In
the section of which Greensboro is the
centre, the shipment Of poultry to Bal
tlmore, Washington and other large
cities has assumed mammoth proper
lions. There is no reason why it should
not be carried on largely in the Western
and Eastern sections of the State as
we'll as in the Central part AS illus
tratipg how it will pay, this incident is
taken from the Greensboro Patriot:
GA farmer while in a generous mood
gave his daughter two chickens and
bade her run away and be good
girl He promised if she would look
after them he would feed the increase
four years. The girl, as it were, Plant
ed these two chickens and the result,
according to the fathers statements, are
somewhat astonishing. He says she
has S64 in the bank and some 200 chick
ems which he has to feed. According
TO the farmers calculation, his daugh-
ter will own the farm at the end of
four years and will be charging him
rent for living on it,

POUND OF FLESH NEAREST THE
HEART"

The New York papers all demand a
repeal of the 271a per cent tariff on cat
tie; the $1.5C per head tariff on sheep;
END the two cents a pound tariff on
fresh meats as sure way of bringing
the meat trust to terms. The cattle,
sheep and hogs have long ago been sold
to the trust and the repeal of these
duties would injure nobody but the
meat trust. Such a bill ought to be
passed before Saturday night, but it can
not pass this Congress. Reason: the
trusts put up the money to elect the
Republican majority and in return they
will demand and receive the pound of
flesh nearest the heart And they are
getting the blood, 100, which was not
denominated in the bond.

Inquiry has been made of a majority

reference to the fight of the American
Tobacco Company on the Carolina Bright
cigarette. since the former made the stu
pendOus proposition of a pack of Turkish

offer has but little effect on the ccnsum-

holding out for the Carolina Bright.

PASSAGE OF STATEHOOD BILL.

The Denver Republican says: The
house did we'll in passing the bill for
the admission of New Mexico, Arizona
and Oklahoma. The measure was com
bated somewhat vigorously by certain
prominent members, and its fate in the
senate is doubtful; but there is no
question that it ought to become a law
at this session.
The opposition of republicans to this
bill on political grounds is altogether
unwise. New Mexico and Oklahoma
are republican, and while Arizona may
he democratic at present. there is no
assurance that it will remain so. The
republican party would gain at least
Jour senators and the democrats at the
most only two. Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
who opposed the bill on partisan
grounds, should have made better in
quiry into the political situation in the
proposed states. and we hope that the
same error will not be committed by
any republican member of the senate.
To keep these territories out any
longer than may be necessary for them
to adopt constitutions and otherwise
comply with the conditions of the en-
abling acts would be a great wrong and
injustice to their inhabitants, who are
today deprived of the right of self-goy-
eminent. They are fully equipped in
population and the valuation of taxa.

1900 the population of Arizona vas
122.931, of New Mexico 1875, $40 and of
Oklahoma 39S. 331. Ohio was admitted
in 1903 and according to the census OF
1900 ii had a population of only As, 1865.
This was but little more than one-third

NEEDS PUSHING.

The st. Louis Globe-D Democrat says
that the passage in the house of the
bill to admit Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona to statehood will give
great encouragement TO the friends OF
that measure. 1t is believed, however
that the opposition in the senate will
be stronger than it was in the other
branch, and there is a possibility that
the bill will not be reached in that
body during the present session, which
is likely to end in June or July. The
enactment of the bill during the short
session next winter would serve al
practical purposes. although Tie sooner
il is passed the better it will be for the
communities directly concerned, anC

EVER THINK o 1T?
Many a Resident Of Albuquerque Will

Many a Resident Of Albuquerque Will
Tell You
We are living in a very rapid age.
Few of us bother our heads about
small things, and so many persons
look upon a pain, ache, or lameness in
the back as a small thing. They wait
for it to pass off. giving no thought to
the cause. Remember these important
facts, take a mental note of them for
future use. and when the time comes
use them. The kidneys are the sewers
of the system: they carry off the i'm
pure matter, but w sometimes be-
come clogged up. So do the kidneys.
The kidneys are located near the small
of the back. hence any stoppage affects
the back. This means backache, lame
back, weak back and many other dis
tressing symptoms. There is lots
more b tell on this subject, but we
won't do it here, for we want to show
you how to keep the kidneys SO the
back will have no cause to ache.
Mr.. A. S. Simpson, of 1929 Forest
avenue, Kansas City, carpenter and
painter by trade, says: 1T is seven or
eight years since | first felt the effects
of kidney trouble. During that time
have had some very severe attacks,
often being laid up for weeks, at a
time, not able to work at all. | not
only had pains in my back, but my
head ached so that | thought at times
it would split. | doctored a great deal
