FEATS OF DARING IN ATHLETICS
INCREASING, SAYS OLD SNOWMAN

That the limits of human daring in
athletics have been vastly increased in
the past quarter of a century is the firm
opinion Of an old show man who has
just retired from the business. and who
is now in Washington. where he in
tends TO reside Tor the rest Of his life.
Men who e:I:er the dens OF wild
beasts, Daniel fashion; women who
swing on the daring trapeze. and pretty
girls who stand up as targets for arlzs-
men are commonplace incidents OF show
life nowadays. says the old snowman.
The appetite Of the public for perilous
deeds has greatly increased within the
past decide. Many men of middle age

hands TO the public as their predecessors
had done.
IA fact, there was little variation until
the recent Introduction OF the bicycle
into athletics Then the public seemed

who rode backward or forward indiner-
entity. who ambIed along on the rear

POSTOFFICE ROBBED.
Also a Store Robbed of About One
Hundred Dollars Worth Of
ValuabIes In Black
Creek.

Wilson, n. G., March 30.-Some
time during last night after 10 o'clock
the postoffice at Black Creek was
broken into and Messrs. Pearson &
Brooks store also. Nothing has
been missed from the p%ostofice, but
there were pistols, watches, rings,
etc.. stolen from the store amounting
to about 800.
There were two suspicious charac-
tiers in Black Creek yesterday selling
eye glasses and telling some they
were sign painters. They left some
time in the afternoon on a freight,
saying they were going to oldsboro,
and also spoke of stopping in Ere
mont. It is supposed they returned
: in the night and committed the rob-
berry.
One man was about five feet ten
inches tall, had black eyes, Was in.

was taller, with blue eyes, light hail
and beard, had not shaved in a week
or two, and wore shabby clothes.

THE RISE IN

The latest government report con-
corning lotion has bad a decidedly
bulIiSh effect upon the market, and
is important as showing that the
staple i really worth about what it
is bringing; that there is ntt a great
deal that is fictitious in the present
price.
The final report of the census bu-
reau upon the crop gave the follow
ing statistics:
Number of commercial bales, in
GLIDING l~inters, 1O,399, 558, against
11,275.1 rs for 1902.
The following table distributes the
crop exclusive of linters in the United
States:
In the United States /, 2O5, O73 COM
mercial bales; 9,359,472 square bales;
40, 708 round bales; rs, 1898 sea island
bales.
The total crop reduced to a COM
mon basis as to size of bales is an
equivalent of 9,851,12 5OO-pound
bales as against 10, $3.50, 945 50O-pound
bales in 1902.
! The number of bales, counting
round as half bales, including ~linters,
was 10, 0 454 against 10, 784,473.
The equivalent bales of 500-pound
standard, including l~inters, were 10,
O45, GA against 1O,927, 168 in 1902.
The square bales, upland crop, re-
ported from ginners, which aggre-
gated 1889, 372, shows a decrease of
633, 1913 from 1902.
The round bales, upland crop, re-
ported from ginneries, were 40, 2O8,
a decrease Of 211 ,O56, the bales of sea
island cotton reported from ginneries
were IS, 1893, a decrease of %, $50; and
the bales of linters reported from cot
ton seed oils are 1914, 495, a decrease
of 1,738.
These statistics were collected
through q canVass of the individual
ginneries of cotton states by 631 local
special agents who found that 3O,218
| ginneries had been operated for the
crop of 1903, compared with 80, 948
for 1902.
The effect of this official announce
ment of the shortage was, as we have
said, to cause a sudden rise of from
80 to 40 points at one jump. This has
done much to counteract the effect of
the SuIly failure.
We would not advise the planters,
however, to plant cotton SO exclu-
siveIy as to neglect their other neces-
sary crops.

(Publ d ~ Request.)
To THE ljfM" GRATIS OF NORTH
CAROLINA:
The D unt4rat of Forsyth county
ask you, IN ~ ur next convention, to
nominate X T.. Glenn, Esq, for
Governor.
In support q this request, we re-
spectfully call attention to the fol-
lowing reasons:
l.. He stands pom the broad pla-
teau Of middle life in the fullness of
matured faculties. He is a good
lawyer, a strong thinker, an able
campaigner, a sound statesman, a
man of the people aud for the peo-
pie, with the courage of his convic-
tiOns
2. He is a man who loves his
party with his whole heart; who
loves it most when in the right, but
right or wrong, weak or strong, in
prosperity or in adversely, he is a
loyal, true, steaufast Democrat.
8. Since manhood he has been a
party worker, commencing in 1876,
and taking part in every campaign
from that day to this. He has al
ways placed himself in the hands of
the State Executive Committee and
the campaign managers of his own
county, going ch~eertully at his own
expense, wherever and whenever
sent, and in the dark days Of his
thickest OF the fray, fighting to rid
the people of negro domination and
radical mi>rule. Surely the people
will not forget his campaign with
Marion Butler, his services as a
member of the Senate Committee
that helped frame the constitutional
Amendment" his more than one
hundred speeches for White Suprem-
acy and Good Government in 1900,
and his untiring efforts in every
campaign for his party's success.
4. Being now under so years of
age, he has no war record, but at
South Mountain his father gave his
life for the "Lost Cause", which
cause has always been dear to his
son, as has been every other interest
of the State.
5. He has not yet been honored
with an Office directly from the peo-
pie of the State, and would deeply
appreciate an honor which carries
with it the stamp of approval, recog-
milton and confidence of his fellow
citizens.
Democrats, this man has labored
for your success for tWenty-eight
years-on the hustings, in the oun
ellis of the party, at the voting pre-
cinct on the day of election, never
studying his w ease, but only ask
ing where he was needed, he has
given himself to the people. Now

RAISING plsHRAcs.

From the New York Tribune,
 novel enterprise. that of raising dish rags Is being exploited by a number of southern California horticulturists. who received the inspiration for the scheme from Charles Richardson, whose gardens in Pasadena are becoming famous for their remarkable productions. MT. Rich ardson has successfully raised many growths new to American soil, and this year is exceeding all his previous triumphs by raising thousands of dish rags. Last year Mir Richardson's string beans which measured forty-three inches in length, created a stir, but dishrag vines, which, with their pendent dshrags. twine about orange trees. palms, ever greens and peach trees. and peek in at the second story windows, bid fair to win the championship from the beans. These dishrags or vegetable sponges as they arc sometimes called. are indigenious to Africa, but now that it has been
 strated that they will thrive in this coun- try they are bound to become a popular production. The seed looks like a cu- cumber, but when ripe the shell is broken
 and disclosed.
