some bills.
The bill of Senator Walker to admit

reported favorably.
The Joint Committee on Asylums met
and considered the recommendations oil
the asylums officials as to the funds
needed. Gen. Davidson addressed the
committee and said that all approDria
items for buildings and extra expenses
would have to be omitted, and only at

water and boilers. To the Goldsboro
Asylum $55, 900 for the first year, 100000
for the second. To the Asylum for the

lums.
A subcommittee was appointed which
will meet this afternoon to consider the
necessary appropriations and this sub
committee will report to the full COM
mittee tomorrow afternoon.

But Not Much of a Pastor.

There was an old clergyman in Central
New York State some years ago who
vas very powerful speaker but whose
private life was by ne means exemplary
Some of the more outsDoken Of his par
ishioGers were in the habit of remon-
strating with him regularly about this
and his reply invariably was Don't dc
as | co. do as | tell you TO DO.
1t is so with a great many physicians.
There arc hundreds OF medical men who
fully understand the folly of drinking
coffee ard tea. who tell their patients
not to drink either. yet who use one or
the other themselves. But sometimes ii
knocks even the doctor out and he has
TO quit Old King Coffee. A physician
OF Wasioja. Mimi. says: Il was a liberal
user Of coffee from my youth and my
health broke down while at college in
1851 al p Years OF age, but | continued
TO use coffee until 1898 although | was

condition that is well-known to be due

Even II, your physician does drink cof-
foe, you had better do as he tells YOU to
do. Give Postum a trial. That's the
easy way to shake off coffee and get well
and keep well.

SHORT CORN CROP
IN UNITED STATES
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WILL
SON TALKS OF THE CoUN-
TRY'S PROSPECTS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, July I6.-Secretary Wilson,
who has returned from trip that included
Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and
South Dakota said today that while the
farming conditions are generally good and
some of the crops have large yield, the
corn crop will be short.
"The abnormally cold weather" he said.
"has retarded the development of the corn
crop. Along the valleys and high waters
the crop has been destroyed and on the
level lands that have been saturated, the
corn will not mature.
The best corn is along the dry rolling
lands, but even there the cool season has
prevented the crop from being what it
should be at this time.
I'VE may have an average crop il the
weather in the future is favorable, but il
it continues cold ii is hard to say TO what
extent there will be a shortage
The grass crop will be the finest for
many years
The cool weather has favored the
growth of oats, wheat and barley and that
class Of products.
The wheat crop is generally good and
altogether the outlook for the farmer Is
good.
We have been paying $4,000, 900 annu-
ally for macaroni. We are growing all
our own macaroni this year"
