About Tobacco and Marketing.

One way to meet the present low
price OF tobacco is for each farmer to
save and cure his tobacco to the best
advantage and then pack it away
safely and wait for an increase orrise
in the price. Let those who owe on
their crop see and talk with their
merchant. and he will, if he can. as
sist them in holding the crop. 1t will
be to his interest. for it will pay moth
ing ii sold now. The old saying that
"a crop will pay more debts in the
barn than on the warehouse floor"
is certainly true at this time.
The truth is we are marketing our
tobacco crops too soon. 1t is not
best to rush crops into market so
rapidly. When the Henderson to-
bacco market was opened in 1872,
and for several years thereafter the
bulk OF the tobacco crop was put on
the market in July and August of
the following year Then for several
years the bulk OF the crop was mark
eted in May and June. Gradually
the time of marketing has been
moved up each year. 1t was only a
few years ago when farmers ceased
to remark upon the fact if any of
their neighbOrs sold portion of his
crop before Christmas, while last
years tobacco crop-the best, or GER
tainly as good as was ever raised in
any year-was practically all sold by
the fifteenth of December.
Don't rush your crop in. Even the
American Tobacco Company will be
willing no doubt after Christmas to
pay you at least a part of what they
save in storage interest and in

Takes First Leave of Absence in
TWenty-Six Years.

Capt. J. 7. Gilmore left Friday for
Southport to visit his sister. He
will be away ten days and aside
from the pleasure of spending the
time with his sister he chose South
port because he said he wanted to
get away from the sight of a railroad
or the sound of u locomotive whistle.
This is the first time Capt. Elmore
has taken u leave of absence in the
26 years of his service with the Sea-
board Air Line Railway He has had
such offered him repeatedly but from
one cause or another he has not &C
cepted. Nor is this the only remark
able thing, and certainly not the
most cOlnmendable, connected with
Capt. Elmore's experience in rail
reading, He has never been dis
charged, locked, suspended or paid
a fine. That is good record sure
ly and one very few railroad men
can show in an experience covering
so long a service.
Mrs. Gilmore accompanied the Cap
tain and will see that he is good and
enjoys his well earned rest.

Good for Vance.

1t is very gratifying to hear it said
by State officials who are in a posi-
ton to know that Vance county is
the best managed county financially
in the State. The county has the
lowest tax rate and yet her affairs,
while run economically, are conduct
ed on a broad gauge and in an up
tO-date business manner. In many
counties a great hue and cry is made
about the valuation this year but
the burden of their song after all is
generally the tax rate. Under in
creased valuations the rate must de-
crease or there is some mismanage-
ment. Let the good work go on in
Vance. Run the county affairs all
we'll but decrease the taxes each

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Meeting Friday an resting
and Profitable One-Farming, Gar.
dening and Stock Raising Practical
Iy Discussed.


The Farmers Institute held in the
court house here Friday will be produc-
tive Of good. While the attendance was
not as large as could have been wished
there were representative men from all
parts OF the county and lively interest
was taken in the discussion. The Insti-
tute was conducted by Prof. i. W. Kill
gore, State chemist; Prof. W. F. Massey.
Agriculturist, and Mr. c. B. Williams of
the State Agricultural Department
Short talks were made by persons in
the audience by way of giving their ex-
perlence with certain crops, and per-
tinent questions were freely asked draw
ing out discussion along certain lines or
gaining knowledge on certain points.
In this way much valuable and helpful
Information was obtained and the meet
ing must result in good.
Prof. kilgOre spoke first on soil i'm
proyement. He went very fully into the
subject discussing the various kinds OF
soil and their requirements as to certain
kinds of plant foods and their adapta-
bility to certain kinds of crops.
Prof. Massey discussed the home gar
den and orchard, and when he stated
what he produced on a very small piece
OF land and the returns in money it must
have made those persons with whole
farms who do not raise enough vegeta-
bles for home consumption feel like thirty
cents. Especially interesting and instruc-
tive was Prof. Massey's talk about Or
chards and fruits Too little attention
is given to this feature and when one
does have an orchard too little care and
attention is given it as general thing
to get the best results from it.
Mr.. Williams talked about varieties of
cotton and corn and their improvement
by seed selection, a far more important
matter than most farmers think. No
one could have heard Mr.. Williams with
out being impressed by the import OF his
remarks and the value Of care and iudg-
ment in seed selection and improvement.
At the afternoon session Prof kilgOre
discussed the subject Of fertilizers for
corn, cotton, grain and tobacco, while
Prof Massey talked about crimson clover
and the value and Importance of hay
making. Both discussions were interest
ing and informing and elected the keen
est interest. Those who did not attend
the Institute were losers thereby.
Former State Senator j. E. Burroughs
was chairman Of the meeting. A vote OF
thanks was rendered Prot Massey, Prof.
Kilgore and Mr.. Williams for their pres
ence, and the pleasure and profit derived
from their edifying and instructive talks
to the farmers of Vance. The motion
was adopted by a standing vote.
\ Farmers Institute Committee, one
from each township, was appointed as

Education Means Wealth.
Sanford Express.

The campaign for better education
in North Carolina should be encOur-
aged by every one. Popular educa-
ton is a paying investment. The
returns to the State in better equip
ped citizenship are visible yet inesti-
mable. The ratio OF enterprise, thrift;
economies and substantial wealth as
between educated and semi-educated
communities is too wide not to be
recognized. North Carolina cannot
afford to lag behind any State in the
union in her efforts to create the
beneficent conditions that follow
popular education.

Is Indigestion q Disease?

The best medical authorities say that indi-
gestion is not always caused by a diseased
stomach, but may result from a disordered
liver, constipation. excitement. etc. The
cause is of little consequence when fsydales
fail to digest the food, check fermentation,
free the stomach from irritating acids and an
excess OF gas. They relieve at once Belching,
Heartburn, Sour Stomach, Fullness after
Eating, etc. Rydales Stomach Tablets have

Letter to John D. Cooper.
Henderson. n. {.

Dear Sir: 1T costs as much to put-on
poor paint as good'-a common saying
and true-it costs much more to put-on
poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand, or paint and lime, or
paint and chalk, or paint and benzine,
or paint and water; these are the usual
cheats; there are others.
1t takes more gallons OF panhandle
cheat than of honest paint; and the cost
of the labor of painting is SO much gal
lon-one gallon costs as much as another,
for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next year?
Paint Devoe and next year costs moth
ing year after next the same; the same
for several years.
Paint anything else and your costs re-
cur according to what you paint-with.
Some of the mixtures wear one year;
some two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times, four times,
five times, as much to paint with cheat
as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FoR
M

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method oftreatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc, stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. II drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.

builder, nerve restorer, and Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-

SAD DEATH.
Young rlan Dies Suddenly on His
Bridal Tr;p-The Bride-Widow Re-
turns Home With the Remains.

One of the saddest deaths that has
come under our notice lately was that of
Dr. Thomas Palmer Wynn, which Oc-
Cured in New York Sunday before last.
On the Wednesday previous he was mar
ried in Durham to Miss Alberta Robbins,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rob-
bins, of that city, and the happy couple
went to New York on a bridal trip. Sat
urday they visited COney Island and Dr.
Wynn ate some soft shell crabs and drank
q glass Or two of lemonade later Re
turning to his hotel he was taken violent
ly sick during the night.
Next morning a physician was sum
moned and it was discovered that he
was suffering from a severe case OF
ptOmaine poisoning. He continued to
grow worse and was removed to a hos
pital where he died that night.
The body was brought to Durham via
Greensboro last Wednesday and taken
thence to the old family burial place at
Ridgeway for interment. Undertaken ID.
". Hardee took charge of it here and
performed the duties of his office at the
grave.
DIR. Wynn was formerly from Warren
county but had been living in Tarboro
for several years where he was success
fully engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession. He was a talented and most es-
Unable young man and his death under
the peculiar circumstances and surround
ings is distressingly sad indeed.
