Sounds Like Truth.

DIR. Weir Mitchell, the great scientist
says that Nervousness in women
causes more domestic unhappiness than
dram drinking among men This is a
tremendous saying by one speaking as
with authority. He also says that the
nervousness in women is caused by the
strain on them in school days. He
thinks no girl ought to be required to
attend school until she is II. Preserve
her nerves until II, and she can stand
il afterwards.

WEEK CROP SUMMARY.


IN Y. "a ~
From the crops we have seen
and reports of the planters, the
planting of.crops is about ten days
behind that of last year. but if the
cold spell does not cause arepIant-
ing it is really ahead. The differ
ent sections reported show that
the advancement IS aboutthe same
throughout the Delta. Where the
land is high the crop is planted,
where low it is not planted or even
the land. made ready for the seed.
Oats look promising In all sec
tons AMI will furnish an early
feed that will keep down to some
extent the corn bill of many plant
ers. Corn is up in every neigh
borhood, but it is yellow from the
cold weather. The stand is most
ly good and if a few warm days
will come, it will remainIso,

DR.. +. A. BizzeIl of Arcola
said:
That he planted $50 acres of
cotton week before last and ex-
poets to finish this week. He
thought, owing to the cold spell
and condition OF the ground, that
80 per cent of corn in the neigh
borhood will have to be planted
over. That he was now working
out his corn. He SAID that he
commenced planting last year in
March, but most had to be- plant
ed over. lie did not expect to in
crease his corn but little this year.

ADDRESS
The Hill Committee Present
the Claims of Their Can

The following address has been issued:
To the Voters of North Carolina :y1st
At a meeting of Independent Demo-
Gratis, held in Greensboro, N. c., Septem-
Der 18th, the undersigned were appoint
ed a committee to issue an address to the
voters Of the State in advocacy of the
election of Hon. Thomas N. Hill, of Hal
flax county,, as Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court OF North Carolina, and in
opposition to the election of Justice Wal
ctr Clark to hat position.
We believe we reflect the sentiment OF
the virtue and intelligence of the State
in maintaining the proposition that the
man who fills the chief judicial office in
this State should possess the highest or
der of intellect, a personal character
above suspicion, and such a high sense
of the duties and requirements of this
exalted office as will induce him in the
discharge thereof to hold his personal
ambition in abeyance, and to refrain from
the use Of the arts and Wiles Of the DEM
agOgue and politician. Like Caesars
wife, the personal and official character
Of the Chief Justice of q great State
SHOULD be above suspicion, and his con-
fuuct such as to invite investigation I'M

desire for security from possible cen
sure should prompt requests that the
evidence of his action should be Destroy
ed or withheld from public scrutiny.
While it is his right as a citizen to have
opinions upon all political questions
which agitate the public, yet these
opinions should be the result of careful
investigation, honestly formed without
thought of promoting personal ambition,
and not subject to change with every
change of party in power. The Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of this
State should not permit his judicial ac-
ton to be influenced against any man,
or set of men, or any property interest
by public clamor, or pOpula prejudice,
which has been reused and melted by
the appeals of the demagogue. He
should be free from all influences ex-
cept an honorable desire to administer
justice alike to those in exalted station.
and those in the humber walks of life,
to those whom fortune has favored. and
to those who light the battle of life amid
poverty and want 1t is his province to
administer equal and exact justice and
thus romote among the whole people a
respect and reverence for the law and
those who expound and administer it,
thereby restraining and preventing
those personal animosities. and hostilities
which arise from arraying one class
against another, and which are so de-
structive of the public interests and the
conservative principles upon which our
government rests.
We do not believe that Judge Clark
measures UP to these requirements. 1t
is not the purpose Of this address to
weigh the evidence upon which the pub
lie charges against Judge Clark's DO
litical and judicial character rest, nor to
a~nalyse the defense which he has made.

The SUNDAY TRAFFIC
Ordinance Asked Against Sale
of Soft Drinks and Cigars.
Ministers and Druggists Held a Conference
Yesterday and Talked Of the Matter
Of Sunday Sales.

The movement begun by Rev. G. T.
Adams against the sale of soft drinks
and cigars on Sunday will result in the
Board of Aldermen being requested to
pass an ordinance prohibiting such sales
by druggists.
This is the outcome of a meeting held
yesterday morning in the Mayors office.
Mr.. Adams had personally seen the drug
gists of the city, the, various ministers
and prominent citizens and asked these
to meet and confer about the matter OF
Sunday sales.
At the meeting Rev. G.. T. Adams pre-
sided and Rev. NJ. W. Butler acted as
secretary. Among the ministers present
We're Rev. G. T. Adams, Rev. NJ. NJ.
Marshall, Rev. c.. F. Smith. Rev. r.. S.
Stephenson, Rev. DR.. j. 7. Gibbs, Rev.
NJ. w. Butler, Rev. DR.. l. Nick. Pitten-
ger, Rev. DR.. T. N. Ivey, and Rev. NJ. NJ.
Mcfarland.
The druggists present by invitation
were Messrs. II. T. Hicks, w. H. King,
Robert Simpson, James |. Johnson, O.. 6.
King, Rawley Galloway and w. q.
Thomas, while the number present was
increased by prominent citizens interest
ed in the movement.
There was a full and free discussion of
the best method of aiding in the obserV-
ance Of the Sabbath in the matter of hav-
ing an end put to the sale Of tobacco and
soda fountain drinks on that day, and
some of the druggists present expressed
their views, among those who spoke be-
ing H. T. Hicks, Robert Simpson and
W H. King. The consensus Of opinion
among these was that the only way to
stop the sale would be to close the stores,
as it was not thought that an agreement
not to sell would be effective with open
stores.
The ministers and others agreed that
what was needed was an ordinance that
would prohibit such sales. An address
stating the wishes of the minister's, and
an ordinance which would cover this was
read and it's provisions discussed. This
PROPOSED ordinance is prohibitOry of the
sale of soft drinks and cigars by drug
stores on Sunday, but a provision is in
serted allowing hotels to sell to their
registered guest. There was not full
agreement on this ordinance and another
will be drawn which will be presented to
the Board of Aldermen for adoption.
In the discussion of the matter Rev. Il.
s Stephenson said that the sale of the
articles mentioned was not the sin that
needed the greatest assault, as there
were other things needing attention He
said that in this matter 1t was d case OF
shooting at a sparrow when there was
a snake in the grass at their feet"
