"Couches have saved more minds and

miliar authority on house furnishing to
the Philadelphia North American.
cit is the best refuge that the over
worked housekeeper has, did she but
know it, and the only fault have to
find with women is that as a rule they
do not use their couches half enough.

and a half contrivances that are as
tough as a rhinoceros' hide. What
mean is a broad, comfortable couch that
is soft and luxurious and on which a
woman may nestle among the pillows

have one. When distracted by the int,
mite cares of the household and worried
over this bill and that, a woman should
have a place where she can throw her
self down and, stretched at ease. allow
her troubles to straighten themselves
out Of their own accord.

Great Talk Among the Democrats

Raleigh, n. c., September 2.
The greater part of the talk among|
democrats now is regarding the inde-I
pendent movement. Most IF theml
minimize, but others recognize it as al
very unfavorable sign. A gentleman
from Halifax says it is worse there than
is admitted. OF course the promotorsl
of this movement are delighted. They
base their hopes also upon the indepen-I
lent convention or mass meeting for
this county CWake) which is to be held
here next Saturday. The republicans
also have their eyes upon the move
ment. Some of their leaders admit that
this is their hope-to divide the White
vote and let the negros stay outside the
lines.
The need for ain is certainly as great
now in most of North Carolina as at
any time during the year; perhaps
greater. This is saying a great deal,
but the best farmers hold this view.
1t is really a critical position. The loss
to farmers by the drought and the cold
nights during the last half of August
reaches far into the millions.
The state tax commission today took
oP NLAC AAAoNICA III IN AlSIlA1S OA ASOli
tax in this county. 1t is said that the
same cause will be furnished in various
other counties, in each case the tax list
ers being summoned with their books.
The hearing today was the first of the
kind ever held, and was of particular
interest because it brought up the ques-
ton whether the salaries Of federal Of
ficialS are liable to this income tax.
The unsightly electric lamps which
since 1895 have stood at the base of the
Confederate monument in the capital
square were today removed. They We're
never lighted and the rust of the iron
was fast staining the fine granite of the
base of the monument.
Yesterday and today students poured
in here, to attend the female colleges
and the Agricultural and Mechanical
college. About 800 have so far arrived.
All the colleges are full. Last term was
a very prosperous n and the one now
beginning is up to that high mark.
The work of preparation for the state
fair here in October is very active. All
the indications are for the best fair
ever held. The financial success dur
ing the past three years, has put the
fair on a high plane. 1t will be a
clean" show this year. The outcry
against last years gross i~ndecencies or
the Midway" has a the happiest eff
feet, and the show people who gave
| those miserable performances are to dc
vigorously excluded from the grounds.
The state has so far this year charter
ed nine new cotton mills, which is re-
| garded as a good record.

before the commission as attorney for

Gals. He argued that Purnell was ex-
empt from the income tax under article

States which says the salary of United

during his term of office. He further
took the ground that this applied to all
federal office holders.
The commission considered he matter
several hours n this evening decided
that any n all persons are liable Tor
tax on Incomes in excess of a thousand
dollars, except such as are derived from
property taxed, thus including Judge
Purnell and all other federal officials.
The state tax commission having OF
dered the incomes of Judge Purnell and
Postmaster Bailey here listed for taxa

officials are ready to put the matter py
