for criminal assault against Victor
Barnes was taken up today and the So
licitor announced that although it was a
horrible affair the child was too young

tent. etc. The defendant had no lawyer.
Judge Mcneil appointed Col. John N.
Staples and Judge W. p. Bynum to con-
duct his defence. After an hours con.
sultation with the prisoner they asked

further in the case The prisoner on the
plea that he could prove a complete
alibi by his mother and two sisters, was
given continuance, and he will stay in

vised him to enter a plea of guilty to
the lesser court, but he stubbornly re-
fused to do so.

Systemic catarrh always gives fair

the eyes, mental confusion, fits of ner-

heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri-

symptoms or all of them should be
promptly met by the use Of Peruna.

Judge Boyd and the Bible.
Washington Post.)

There are few better Biblical scholars
outside of the clergy than that popular
Southerner, Judge James Boyd, of North
Carolina, former Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States, but now OF
the Federal bench. At the Ebbitt last
night Judge Boyd smilingly declined to
be interviewed on the political situation
in the Old North State, but he remarked
that it was relief to him to nave
done with politics after strenuous ex-
perience that had lasted for quarter
Of a century.
"But do you know" said his honor,
that one of the most appropriate politi-
cal truths ever uttered is to be found
in the Bible, and as pat today as it was
in the those remote ages. 1t occurs in
the twenty-fo chapter of Deuteron-
omy, and to this effect: Let his days
be few, and let another take his office
When one ponders the meaning of that
declaration he is forced to the conclusion
that human nature has been altered only
in the slightest degree in the centuries
since the Old Testament was written. "

Tobacco Goes Up,
Charlotte News.l

The wholesale and many of the retail
merchants of Charlotte today received
notice from one of the largest tobacco
concerns in the State. located at Winston
Salem, advising them that on and after
September %, there would be an advance
of two cents a pound on all the brands
manufactured by this firm, except eight
or nine brands none of the latter being
sold here in any quantities. This notice
naturally put our merchants to thinking,
and the first thought was whether or not
the price of leaf tobacco had advanced
in proportion to the rise in the manufac-
tured stock

TWO PIONEERS.

Raleigh Christian Advocate.
Il is common belief, especially among
vo,,no men that one must work in the
old T,,ts or not at all. Every avenue
to new endeavors and new goals is closed.
Whenever we see a manifestation of this
belief we think of two young men from
North Carolina, both belonging 10 the
ministry of the Nj. E. Church, South
one ]. l.. Cuninggim, feeling the neces
sity of fuller equipment, spent several
wears at Chicago University. Whlle at
this place, he was seized with the con-
yiction that one of the greatest needs
in the educational field of Southern
Methodism is a correspondence school
for Young preachers who are not able TO
continue their studies in college and uni
yersities Young Cunninggim went at
once to work on his idea. He dreamed
of If at night and worked toward it dur
ing the day He talked about it and
wrote about it until his very persistence
brought it before the, last General Con-
ference. There its merits were recog-
nized. and the Correspondence School
became a reality, with Cunninggim at the
head.
Another, R. T. Wyche. fel. several
years ago that there are many pleasant
spots in English literature for child
hood. especially in the school He too
attended Chicago University and studied
with the view of preparing himself to
bring before the school children of the
land the treasures of English story. He
has Iectured to thousands of school chill
dren on "Child Life and Literature"
IAN Evening with the Great Story Teller,
Uncle Remus," "Hiawatha, Homer, and
Beowulf," and "Story of Beaunef." The
latter will soon come out in book form.
These lectures show not only remark
able literary excellency but a practical
simplicity which attracts the minds of
the children.

Talks About Crops.

Theodore H. Price. in New York Com
mercial: "a very well-informed friend
who requests that l shall not mention
his name writes me as follows: This
crop seems like child that was badly
nourished in its infancy and by good
feeding later on has grown big, but still
retains seeds of weakness, due to its
poor start, and while it may by no means
be a small crop it may not be record
breaker for the acreage.
Another friend telegraphs me to con-
suit volume %, p. 222, of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, and upon turning to
the Encyclopedia 1 find in regard to the
cotton plant the following statement: 1T
is a popularity of the cotton plant to
lose a great many of it's blooms and
bolls When the weather is not favor
able at the fruiting stage the otherwise
hardy cotton plant displays great weak
ness, in this way. 1t sheds its form, as
the buds are called, its blooms, and even
the half grown bolls, in great numbers.
It has frequently been noted that even
well-fertilzed plants, upon good soil,
will mature only Is or 20 per cent. of
the bolls put on. No means is known
so far for preventing this great waste.
Even experts are at an entire loss to
form correct idea of the cause. or to
apply any effective remedy.

MUST HAVE CHILD LABOR LAW.
Asheville Citizen.
1t would be a mistake to assume that
the South is wholly to blame for our con-
dition of affairs Many of the Southern
textile factories even now are owned or
controlled by New England capitalists,
and there are grounds for believing that
certain manufacturing plants have been
transferred from New England to the
South largely because the laws here do
not interfere with the employing of child
labor. And yet, All these facts admitted,
still we have not escaped responsibility
for failure to enact anti-child labor leg
islation; and if the New England press
has aroused public sentiment on the
question to the point that the evil can
now be remedied, we ought to thank
rather than condemn it therefor.
