AN ESTIMATE
OF the Tobacco Crop in Wayne and
Adjoining Counties.
importance

Adjoining Counties.
We have just had a conversation
with a gentleman VINO is familiar
with the tobacco business, having
given much attention to 1t for sever
al years, and this gentleman states
that in Wayne. Duplin, Lenoir" and
other adjoining counties, the tobacco
crop will be just about twenty per
cents of the crop of last year.
1t is the general impression among
the farmers that tobacco will bring
high prices this season ON account of
the scarcity of the crop, and for the
further reason that the tobacco trust
fears that unless they do pay high
prices this year the other twenty per
cent. of the crop will not be planted
next year.
There is also a feeling among both
farmers and merchants that the cot
ton crop will be so large that the
prices will be seven or eight cents
during the coming Fall.
This seems to be a very reasonable
view to take of the prevailing con-
ditions. However, on account of the
favorable weather, the cost of the
cultivation of the present crop has
certainly been at least forty per cent.
less than an average year. Conse-
quently, the farmers will make
money with cotton as low as seven
| cents per pound.

POLITICAL

The Republicans are scared. There
is nc doubt about that. They say the
Democrats made a big mistake in
nominating Parker. Of course the
Republicans are much worried when
the "Democrats make big mis-
takes.D
In the South nearly all white men
who are Republicans, are Republic
cans for Office, or the hope of Office.
On the other hand, nearly every
man who is a Democrat, is a Demo-
crat because he believes in the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party.
In a short time the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee will
meet and make arrangements for the
work Of the campaign. In our opin-
ion there should be a short, active,
vigorous campaign. A long cam
palgn is tiresome to all parties con
ceIned, and much time and energy
are wasted.
The next ses sion of the North
Carolina Legislature will be one of
the most important ever held in the
State. Every county should send
competent and good men, men of
ability and Of the highest character
and integrity. It is true every com
petent man makes a sacrifice when
he goes to the Legislature, but the
people should see to it that they
send their best men to represent
them. At every session Of the Leg
islature there are powerful influences
brought to bear on members to vote
for this, that or the other measure,
hence the importance of having
members of the Legislature who
know what to do, who know how to
do, and who will be honest in the
discharge of their duty to the PEG.
pie. Let the people of the State be
careful about electing men to the
Legislature. It is of the greatest
importance.

When the digestive organs are impaired. or the
process of digestion incomplete. one or more. and
sometimes all of these symptoms prevail. Or, IL
the food becomes the least tainted, poison is alb
sorbed along with the nourishing fluid and poured
with 1t into the veins. The blood becomes cor
respondingly impure. and every portion of the body
becomes more or less disturbed. The walls of the,
blood vessels, throughout the entire body become,
diseased.
AS every organ of the body receives its strength
from the blood it is plain to be seen that if the food
We eat is imperfectly digested. the blood feeds dis
ease to the various organs of the body.

double duty to perform by reason of the
extra amount of impurities which they
must filter out of the blood, and like the
other organs they too are damaged and
impaired for want of proper nourishnent.
Impurities which should be filtered out
of the system by the action Of the kidneys
are retained in the blood, redoubling the
amount of poison it receives from poor
digestion. thus increasing the poisonous
deposits made by the blood in the tissues of
the various organs in the course of its cir
culation, back and forth through the body.
