We regret to announce to our
readers that the Raleigh banks have
made a new rule by which they
charge five cents or more for the
collection of each check deposited
with them-except checks on Will

tiers North. We shall have to ask
our readers therefore to make re-
mittance by p~ostofice or express
money order or registered letter
when it is not convenient to send
checks on the points just named
though your bank will probably be
perfectly willing, if you ask it, to
give check on one of these places. If
checks on other banks are sent, add
five cents for cost of collection. That

tence should read "cost but little
over $4,000" instead of $4OO; this
amount ($4OO) will buy one of the

TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.


Messrs. Editors The compare
lively good crops of wheat in this
State last summer and the high
price which it is now bringing will
no doubt stimulate heavy sowing this
fall.
Farmers should remember that
the Hessian fly is liable to do great
injury to the wheat if the grain is
sown early, but if sown late it will
not come up until after the fall
brood of flies has disappeared, and
so will escape.
Experience has taught hal in the
principal wheat-growing district of
this State, as in Davidson, Rowan,
Cabarrus, Iredell, Catawba, Burke
and Lincoln counties, the wheat
should not be sown earlier than late
October or first of November to
make sure of avoiding injury. Nov
ember LIST seems to make a good date
to depend upon.
Now, / am well aware that if
wheat is sown too late it is liable to
severe injury by freezing out before
it gets we'll started. If your expe-
rience has shown that wheat sown as
late as November 1st is likely to be
frozen out, then SOW just as late as
you can without running that risk.
1t is likely that the fly will do a
considerable amount of damage in
the wheat fields this fall, but you
will find that it will be mostly in the
early sown fields.
A special circular regarding the
Hessian fly will be sent to anyone
on application.

COON SKINS.
Advertisement

An old Arkansas hunter, who was
in the habit of taking his dogs and
gun out for a solitary coon hunt al
most every evening, weather permit
ting, also took himself to the cross
roads store each following morning,
and to the neighbors assembled there,
related miraculous stories of the still
more miraculous numbers of coons
he had annihilated the night before.
These honest friends, with true
Southern good nature, passively sub
mitted to these wild tales from day
to day, until the number grew to such
and then, rising in their righteous
Indignation, as one body, gave vent
to their feelings in the following:
"Look here, neighbor, this talk of
killing coons is all well and good.
There are coons in the 7eods-and
powder and shot can kill them, but
if you want us to believe that you
are such a mighty hunter, you have
just got to show us those coon skins"
And that is just what Vitae-Ore,'
the natural mineral remedy which is
being advertised so extensively in
these columns, has been doing right
along. For every claim of a cure
made it has produced the "coon skim"
the actual living, breathing, walking,
taking witness in the cured one. It
does not ask belief, it asks no cred
ence, it wants only an opportunity to
show "coon SKINS in each individual
case, to produce before each and ev-
cry sick and ailing reader of this pa
per a "coon skin" in the form of his
her own Improvement and benefit,
before he or she need believe one jot
or pay n cent.
Medicines have come and gone,
have sprung up in the like mush-
rooms, have made broad claims and
told of remarkable hunts and the cap
ture Of remarkable numbers of
'coons," but when the time came they
could not show the "coon SKINS" and
out into the night, to be
heard of no more.
Not so with Vitae-Ore It has stood
the test of over a generation of time
and peoples, and has fully proven
and substantiated it's right to the
title of being the "best thing in, on,
Or out of the earth for the afflicted"

SEA SERPENT is
seen BY GUNBOAT

A hideous monster of the sea, "shap-
ed like a fat-bodied serpent of about
a hundred feet in length is reported
to be on the usual periodical visit to
southern Chinese waters. It is said to
have been observed by the officers and
crew of the French gunboat Decide,
when cruising in the Bay of Along,
near Haiphong. "I was standing on
the<bridge." says the commander in
his report to the admiral when my
attention was directed to a round, dark
mass in the water, about three hun
dred yards to port. 1 took it TO be d
rock, but, on seeing it move, presumed
it was an enormous turtle, four or five
rose out of the water, and by the I'M
dulatory movement that followed I saw
that [ was in the presence of an enor-
nous sea monster shaped like a fiat
bodied serpent of about a hundred feet
in length. 1t appeared to have a soft,
black skin covered with marble spots,
and the head. which rose about six
teen feet out of the water, closely re-
sembled that of an enormous turtle
with huge scales. 1t blew up two jets
of water to a height of about fifty
feet. It moved slowly through the wat
er at a speed of about eight knots, and
when about $50 yards from the gunboat
plunged beneath it like submarine,
reappearing on the surface about four
officers and crew also watched the
monster which gradually disappeared
from view.'-Manila paper.

4 STEAMER
IN PERIL

TACOMA CWash.), June 22.-The
steamship Oregon, arriving this
morning from Nome, brings news that
the steamer Portland was six days
overdue when the Oregon sailed, June
18th. It was believed that the Port
land had been caught in an ice pack
and was drifting toward the Arctic
with 200 people aboard. Other steam
ers had arrived on time or were pass
ed on the way
Not a single vessel arriving prior
to the departure, of the Oregon had
seen or heard of the Portland, which
left Unalaska ahead of them. The
steamer Corwin was the first vessel
to reach Nome, on the evening of
June 8th The Nome City arrived two
days later, and the Oregon on the fol-
lowing day. The Corwin and Nome
City had their boats damaged by con-
tact with the ice.

ANIMALS ARE poor SAILORS.

The polar bear is the only wild ami
mai that likes a trip on the water, ac-
cording to a French scientist, who has
studied its behavior at sea. He is quite
Jolly when aboard ship, but all other
animals violently resent such voyage
and vociferously give vent TO their
feelings until seasickness brings
silence. The tiger suffers most Of all.
He wines pitifully, his eyes water
continually. and he rubs his stomach
with his terrible paws. Horses are bad
sailors and often perish on a sea voy-
age. oxen are heroic in their attempts
not to give way to sickness. Elephants
do not like the sea. but they are amen
abla tn medical treatment. A good
remedy is a bucketful of hot water con-
tanning three and a half pints of whis-
XIV and seven ounces of quinine.

LAST NIGHT

To the stirring strains of the Hawai-

and many fearful farewells, the United
States Army transport backed into 'the
stream yesterday afternoon at Ais and
proceeded on her way to San Francisco.
-Thereawas a crowd at the wharf to see
the big vessel sail Just before the
departure of the transport the officers
were somewhat disturbed over the nom
appearance of several enlisted men but
they arrived at the last minute. The
vessel was delayed about ten minutes
by the non-arrival of one of the cabin
passengers who appeared on the dead
run and rushed up the gang-plank amid
the cheers of the passengers. The
Thomas took fifteen passengers from
