WAKE COUNTY FARMERS

This Fact is Shown by Comparing Sales
This Year and Last Year.
Let Every Cotton Planter Who Possibly Can Attend
His County Meeting These Meetings are to
Be Held Next Saturday Through
out the Cotton Belt.

three bales of cotton were sold on the
taleigh market between December
Sd and December 14th, last year. This
year the sales have been three hun
dred and six bales, twenty-five bales Of
which were marketed December 3rd,
the day the government report came
out. 1t would seem from these figures
that the cotton planters in this section
are net inclined 10 sell at prevailing

TO RETAIN BEAUTY.
Madame Yale Lectures to a Big Audi
ence YESTERDAY.

Nine. Maude Yale, past the half:century
mark in life, was in Washington yesterday
to lecture again on beauty, the preservation
of which her own face and figure show she
understands probably better than any one
else. The lecture began at go O'Clock yes
terday afternoon in the New National The
alter. The audience of women, who listened
and watched intenty during the entire per-
Torrance, filled the playhouse to overflow
ing.
There were four acts or features to the
lecture, in each of which the madame APP
peared in different costume, each seeming
to be more beautiful than the last and
showing off her beauty to perfection. Her
gowns Were all imported and of the very
latest style. Once it was a black-spangled
affair, and again a perfect dream of white
tulle. The crowning act, however, was that
in which she appeared in tights. and to the
time of appropriate music demonstrated
many of her physical culture ideas. The eff
feet produced by this act was remarkably
pleasing.
No one will gainsay that Nine. Yale has
distanced all competitors in the art of
teaching women how to become and remain
beautiful Her system is a combination Of
the don't worry plan and the gymnasium
so to speak Besides, she has her own
preparations that she declares never fail
In her lecture she barely hints at this side
of her treatment, leaving her hearers to
guess the rest.

thirst for knowledge, she took advantage
of every book and paper that fell in her
way, and thus obtained an education which
enabled her to begin teaching at the age
of fifteen.
She Is probably the first woman in Amer

theological and medical degrees. She won
her way into and through college by self
culture and by teaching, paying for her
theological training by preaching Sundays.

Constitution Amended
The association this morning adopted
three amendments to the constitution. The
first of these materially alters the condi-
tons of membership and the fee. AS the
clause now stands, ANY State Woman
Suffrage Association may become auxiliary
to the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, and thus secure representation
in the annual convention by paying annual
ly into its treasury 10 cents per member of
the state society and its pad-up auxil-
iarieS'
The amendment. offered by Mrs. Harriet
Taylor Upton, and adopted by large ma
jority vote, is as follows:
'AH citizens of the United States sub
scribng to this constitution, and paving
not less than $40 annually into the treasury
OF this association shall become members
thereof, and shall be entitled to attend all
Its meetings, to participate in all discus
slons That may arise and to receive reports
and other documents published by it,
This admits both men and women and
changes the admission fee from 10 cents
a member to $40 a member for admission
to the national organization.
Amendment number 2 declares for
one honorary president instead of two,
as the constitution now stands
Amendment number 8 changes the by
laws in an immaterial way.
A fourth amendment was adopted
striking from the list of suffrage COM
mittees that on federal suffrage This
was dropped because such committee is
now considered misnomer.

France who arrived in Rome yesterday
with a royal cortege to the Pantheon
today to lay wreaths on the tombs of
King Victor Emmanuel II and King
Humbert. He was received by vetsr-
ans Of the Italian army.
The king in proposing the health Of
President Loubet. said hat the hearl
of Italy beat in unison with his in well
coming the representatives Of the gen.
erous French nation. Agreement be-
tween the governments was easy, his
majesty said. and by contributing 70
the maintenance OF peace and signing
the arbitration and labor treaties they
had guaranteed the political and
strengthened the social life.
President Loubet in expressing his
gratitude for his majesty's words and
for the magnificent reception accorded
him by the Romans. declared that the
affinities uniting the two countries
would always keep them friends.
Those surrounding the pope assert
that he has expressed his intention to
protest against the visit of President
Loubet to Rome on the ground that 1T
is the first occasion on which the head
of a Catholic country has visited the
quirinal since the fall of the TEMPORAL
power of the popes. 1t Us not known
when or under what form the protest
will be issued.
