Women Are Wearing Mems Hosiery.
What won't fair woman do next?
The latest novelty is half-hose for
women says the New York Evening
Post. They are to be had at present
in only a few exclusive shops, and
they are rather expensive, the cheapest
being 81. These stockings, which are
designed for coolness, end just below
the knee in a close ribbing, which
keeps them in place. For greater Sc
curity, nothing being worse form than
wrinkled stocking ON woman, there
is sold garter exactly like those worn
by men. French women have worn
these short stockings for some time,
and one New York shop imported
few last year. The proprietor tells an
amusing story to account for his first
purchase. A young woman from
fashionable private school, making her
summer purchases of hosiery. added a
few pairs of boys socks which she de-
clared she intended to wear on hot
days. She displayed her novel pur-
chase to her schoolmates, and the next
day they fiocked down to the store and
bought every boys sock in the place.
The proprietor sent out an,. . bought
more small socks, all he could get of
the required quality, and the school

JUDGES CAN DO MOST TO ENFORCE

cution of the Watts law than any other
agency in the State. The Anti-Saloon
Convention understood the power and in
fuence which goes with that great Of
fee when it passed resolutions requesting
all Superior Court Judges to explain the
provisions of the Watts act to the jurors
and the public in the several counties
in their charges to the grand jury. 1t is
a request that these judicial officers will
gladly comply with. for they are sincerely
interested in seeing the laws obeyed.
discussion of this law by Superior Court
Jlfge in any county will have better
effect than any lecture by the most elo-
more carefully and give greater heed to
the charges of the judge than to any
other public utterance In North Carolina.
They receive these charges as the law,
the gospel, the line of conduct. But, in
order that the judiciary may secure the
benefits of this law to the people, they
must not only preach obedience to it, but
they must make an example of the men
who violate it. One reason for the non
enforcement of anti-whiskey legislation in
the past has been because in too many
cases the Superior Court Judges have sus-
pended judgment on the payment of
costs! Judges and Solicitors have not
been as determined to see that punish
ment follows violation as was necessary
The Watts law will do much to pro-
mote temperance, education, obedience to
law if it is enforced If, from the very
beginning public officers wink at its vio-
lation or refuse to visit the severest pen
altles provided for its violation, the act
will fail of its good purpose. 1t is the
sworn duty of public officials q enforce
it; it is the moral duty of all good citi-
zens to hold up their hands in enforcing
it.

No MORE BIG COTTON CROPS.

Mr. Ashley Horne, of Clayton. one of
the best posted men in the State on cot
ton growing, cotton selling and cotton
manufacturing, has been in Washington
city this week. Talking about cotton, Mr.
Horne is quoted as saying:
"At best, there will not be more than
three fourths of crop in North Carolina,
and the same conditions prevail in the
other Southern States. The time for big
cotton crops in the South is at an end.
and in my opinion it viii be a rare thing
if the South ever produces more than n
IL ,000,0 bale crop. Scarcity of labor is
responsible for this condition, which is
more emphasized this year than ever be-
fore. / think the smallness of the crop
will result in good prices being obtained
for the product throughout the season"
There are very many farmers in the
South who agree with Mr.. Horne. Per
contra there are tens of thousands of
acres of cotton land in Texas yet un-
touched and the cultivation of cotton in
Oklahoma and Indian Territory bring in
new cotton territory. High prices this
year will induce immigration of white
farmers into the cotton sections and will
cause farmers who have abandoned cotton
to cultivate tobacco and other crops to
return to growing the fleecy staple. Mr..
Horne is correct in predicting a short
crop this year. 1t is to be hoped that
the price will be high so the farmers will
not lose heavily. as they would do with
low prices and small crop.

glad to note their explanation. 1t seems
that those who are paid $40 to 500 in the

work, who are glad to get this as sort
OF normal training. They claim also that
this custom prevails in Greensboro and

may have advantages. We are of the
opinion, however, that many OF our

is not to elevate the profession OF teach

old college which has for over half a

well as a source of pride to the church.

to be printed formal notice of meet
ing here on Wednesday, August 5th, at
which the corporation will be dissolved
and the property ordered to be sold in
conformity with a resolution passed at

alumnae have received gratifying assur-

over the Old North State as well as from

authorized by either of the State confer
