The Galax Industry.
(BOOne DemOcrat.)

There are few people who have an
idea of the magnitude of the galax
Colts FOOT industry in some of the
yields to those who gather for the local
dealer, as Well as to the dealers them
selves, who ship them TO the northern
markets by the millions, where they are
used for decorating, etc.
The leaves are gathered and sorted,
tied in lunches of ~tWenty-seven each,
end bring from 20 to % cents per thous-
and on the home market, and We are
told that a ten year boy or girl can make
80 to IS cents per day gathering them.
Mr.. j. B. Johnson, who is an extensive
buyer. tells US that last year Watauga
and Mitchell alone shipped 10000 900
leaves, which, when reduced to dollars
among q class that needs it worst. The
crop, Mr.. Johnson remarked, is here to
stay, as thinning the leaves only makes
finer and more marketable ones the fol-
lowing year, and the millions tina have
been gathered from the heights of the
Grandfather within the past few years
does not seem to have diminished the
supply but little. Mr.. Johnson thinks, and
rightly too, that the galax industry is
worth far more to the people at large
in these counties than the lumber bust
ness has ever been.
The market closes on the 18th Of April
and the gathering is over until next
fall.

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., April 19.-After the
turbulent scene OF yesterday marking the
passage of the revised Cuban Reciprocity
Bill, the House settled down to routine
business today. An opportunity was
found, however, for the two elements in
the recent struggle to give expression to
their feelings. This occurred while the
Fertilization Appropriation Bill was I'M
der consideration. Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio),
one of the Ways and Means leaders, said
that the amendment which the opponents
of the Ways and Means Committee had
engrafted upon the Payne Bill not only
wiped out the differential on sugar but
also did away with the counterValllng
duty of the Dingley law. Mr.. Weeks
CMich.), made a spirited r%ejoinder, in be-
half of those who opposed the Ways and
Means Committee. He frankly conceded
that the motives of the opposition had
been TO kill the Reciprocity Bill.
The Fertilization appropriation Bill
was passed and the conference report
on the Legislative Appropriation Bill
agreed to.

FUQUAY
A Canning and a Furniture
Plant Coming.
An Energetic Movement That Will Soon Make
Famous Health Resort Manufacturing
Centre as Well.

In the recent rapid developent of Flu
quay Springs into a popular health and
pleasure resort. industrial factors con-
tributing to the growth Of the place seem
to have been overlooked even by the
great majority of its own people.
1t will be a great surprise to most
readers to learn hi the future OF Flu
quay Springs as a manufacturing enter
is assured. Beside the Chemical Works
already mentioned that will distill creo-
sote and turpentine from pine stumps and
knots and manufacture oils and paints,
two new enterprises are underway and
others are in embryo.
a canning factory will be at once To-
Gated Lear the present depot which Will
probably be retained as a freight depot.
The output this season will be principally
canned tomatoes. Free tomato seed is
being furnished to all applicants, and
many farmers will extensively engag in
raising this crop. Berries and small
fruits are being planted for next years
crop. The soil is rich and light and we'll
fitted for these things.
Not far from the planning mill, that by
the-way is shipping millions of feet Of
high grade pine lumber to Northern mar
kets, will be erected a furniture factory.
This Will be equipped with the latest
improved machinery for the manufacture
of all kinds of household and office furni-
tire. The location is unsurpassed on &C
count of the great abundance of cabi-
ret woods in the vicinity, and the railroad
facilities.
These three new factories that are to
be built as rapidly as possible will bring
carpenters, masOns and mechanics to
town, as we'll as operators and foremen
and these men must have homes for their
families. At present there are not
enough rentable houses for the pOpula-
ton.
Building will be begun as soon as the
lots can be staked off. This is delayed
until the route of the railroad extension
that will run through the property and
the location of the new passenger depot
nearer the Spring are decided.
Mr.. VIM. Ballentine is adding six rooms
to the Barnam House, which will greatly
increase the accommodations of that pop
ular boarding house. The new residence
tha Mr.. J. D. B~allentine is building and
that will be completed in another week
will be quite a pretty place. 1t will be
occupied by Mr.. Ragsdale and will en-
able him to offer even greater comfort
to his guests than he did last year. The
Ellis House will be opened in a few weeks
and will be under Mrs. Ellis personal
management.
All the residents of Fuquay Springs
seem to be working in harmony to de-
velop the place and to furnish the best
cbtainable accommodations to visitors.

counties.
And, whereas, The makers of the law
referred the matter to the county boards,
ard they in their deliberations thought
better to give unto two needy men $500
each, rather than to give 10 one SO or
$50 and cave his more needy and worthy
cCnnrade without anything.
And, whereas, II the distribution of

worthy and needy veterans We're left
entirely out, thereby ignoring the ac-
ton Of the county boards. Now, there

Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being
tired. meaning that the retina, or seeing
portion of the eye, is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue IS in the inner
and outer muscle attached to the eyehall
and'the muscles of accommodation which
surround the lens of the eye. When q
near object is to be looked at this muscle
relaxes and allows the lens to thicken,
increasingits retroactive power The in
ner and outer muscles are used in cover
ing the eye ON the object to be looked
at. the inner one being especially used
when q near object is looked at. 1t is
in the three muscles mentioned that the
fatigue is felt, and relief is secured tenn
porarily by closing the eyes or gazing at
far-distant objects. The usual indica-
ton OF strain is q redness of the rim of
the eyelid, betokening a congested state
of the inner surface, accompanied by
some pain. Sometimes this weariness
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other cases
the true remedy is to massage the eye
and it's surroundings. so far as may be,
with the hand in cold water.-Family

DISCOURAGES TREATING.
The X, bate Check Induces Solitary
Tipping.

There is one drinking place on Curtis
street which is making Il distinct effort
to discourage treating by placing the
nontreating customer on the same finan-
cial basis as the one who treats. You
go into the place and order Il glass of
whisky. If you plank down a quarter
by way of payment the barkeeper will
give you back 10 cents and nice little
celluloid check on which is inscribed the
figures "212.' II you ask the meaning
of this check the man behind the bar
will tell you smilingly that it is a re-
bate check which is good for 21a cents
the next time you purchase Il Decent

I'VE sell our whisky at the rate of
two drinks for n quarter" he explains,
land we do not believe in charging the
man who treats himself any more than
| the one who treats his neighbor. Does
/ it pay? Yes, indeed. it does We have
added an entirely new line of customers

which has received warm commentator.
