SOUTH MUST STAND FIRM.
President Southern Cotton Growers
Protective Association Issues Cir
cular Letter to Southern Bank
ers. Merchants and Cot
ton Producers.

Shall the South quietly surrender to
the dctation of few Wall Street
gamblers in depressing the price OF
our great staple crop last week from
nine and a half to seven cents per
pound: or will they rise in their man
hood and refuse to submit to this UNI
holy sacrifice? The Bearish Bureau
report issued from the Department OF
Agriculture on Dec. 3rd, indicating q
crop of 12,162,000 bales, gave the
Spectators the opportunity they had
been praying for. and in less than 80
minutes nearly $30,000,000 in value
was struck from the pockets OF South
ern farmers. The Bureau report ex-
ceeded the expectations of the most
extreme Bear spectators, and but
few well posted men in the South be-
lieye for moment that the yield this
season will ever reach the high eStl-
mate placed upon the crop by the
Bureau. That report was based upon
a theoretical acreage of about $4,000
900 acres, and indicates a yield far in
excess of that indicated by the amount
of cotton ginned up TO Nov. 18th. in
the Census report. Either one or the
other of these reports is wrong. The
ginners' report is based upon facts as
ascertained at the gins. while the Bu-
reau report as issued last Saturday is
guess work. The recent heavy depreS-
been caused by a lot of gamblers and
spectators who neither produce nor
weave a pound of cotton. Every dol
lars loss on cotton sold at present
prices will go into the pockets of these
SPECTATORS and it remains for the
present owners and holders of at least
100000 ba.es of this crop to say
whether this unrighteous hold UP and
high handed robbery shall be quietly
submitted to- The mills had already
bought their supplies for future dc-
livery from these exporters and specu-
lators at prices ranging around. ten
cents per pound and the manufactur-
erS will not be able to share in the
heavy slump in prices. Cotton is
worth Just as much for spinning pur-
poses to-day as it was at the opening
of the season. as yarns have advanced
three cents per pound since the first
of September and no reduction has
been made in the price of cotton
goods since the drop in the price of
the raw product. Nor is there likely
to be any considerable reduction in the
price or manufactures goods this year
OF next. Then why should the South
submit TO Wall street gamblers and
speculatofs2

Tarboro. n. c.. Dec. S.-The South

to Milford Haynes, of this place, says
that the safe which was robbed con-
tanned a number of contracts with
performers and other people working
with the show and contracts With rail-
roads which made quite bundle OF
papers. These disappeared and it is
presumed that they did so when the
money was taken
If some of these papers could be
found they might help to establish

money was stolen.

Kohuer of this place has been COM
pletely restored to good health. His

the wonderful work Dodd's' Kidney
Pills can do. Mr.. Kohner says:
"For four or five years l have been a
sufferer with Kidney trouble and a
pain over my Kidneys. 1 thought 1
would give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial
and l am glad l did so, for they have
done me good work and 1 feel all right
again."
Many cases are being reported every
week in which Dodd's Kidney Pills
have effected cures of the most serious
cases.
These strong testimonies from earn
est men and women are splendid trib-
utes to the curative properties of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and judging by

trouble or backache that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cure promptly and

How to SIeep.

1t Is not uncommon to hear people
say II was too tired to slecp'-but it
is not generally known how great a
help it is at such times not to try to
sleep, but to 60 to work deliberately to
get rested in preparation for 1t. In
nine cases out of ten it is the unwill-
ingness to lie awake that keeps us
awake. We toss and turn and wish we
could sleep. We fret, and fume, and
worry, because we do not sleep. We
think Of all we have to do on the fol.
lowing day and are oppressed with
the thought that we cannot do it If we
do not sleep. First, we try one expert
ment to see If it will not make us
sleep, and when it fails, we try another
and perhaps another. In each expert
ment we are watching to see if it will
work. There are many things to do,
any one of which might help us to
sleep, but the watching to see if they
will work keeps us awake.
When we are kept awake from u
fatigue, the first thing to do is to a
over and over to ourselves that we do
not care whether we sleep or not, in
order to Undue ourselves with a
healthy Indifference about it. 1t will
help toward gaining this wholesome in
difference TO say II am too tired to
sleep, and therefore, the first thing for
me to do is to get rested in order to
prepare for sleep. When my brain is
well rested, it will 60 to sleep; it cannot
help it. When 1t is well rested, it will

SCOTCH NAMES OF INDIANS
How 1t Comes So Many Aborigines Bear
Names Brought from Scotia.

How 1t Comes So Many Aborigines Rear
Names Brought from Scotia.
The prevalence Of Scotch names
with the Creek and Cherokee Indians
has at various times been the source
of some comment Although other ma
tons and. in fact. nearly every nation
is represented by the names borne bv
these people. the Scotch names are far
more numerous and have suffered less
change than those acquired from any
other nation. The names of some of
these Scotch Indians are closely allied
with the history of these two nations
for the last 100 years, and for several
generations such names as Mcintosh.
McKellopp, McCombs, Adir, MCQUEEN
and McGillivary are registered on
nearly all the treaties and official pa-
pers Of moment in either nation. Men
bearing these names to-day are among
the foremost Of the progressive In
dams.
The News Of Okmulgee gives this
account of the origin Of these Scotch
names:
"As was stated. the origin of these
Scotch names dates back over 100
years. At that time the Creek and
Cherokee Indians, more especially.
bent their efforts toward building up a
nation Of physically perfect men. The
women were encouraged to mate only
with the strong, robust men of the
tribe. and II a weak man withstood
the taunts and gibes Of his fellows and
remained there was little chance of his
securing a wife. In that way the life
Of these people was almost Spartan.
while this sentiment was at its
height ana the tribes were living in
Georgia, some time before the reyolu-
ton, a regiment Of Scotch %highlanders
was quartered in the vicinity of n
of the principal villages of the nations.
The Indian maidens loked with favor
on the burly men of the north of Scot
land and a number Of marriages was
the result. When the regiment was
ordered back to England or to some
other quarter of the globe there were
some Of these Scotchmen who stayed
behind and their names have thus been
fixed in the annals Of the Creek ma
ton. 1t is through the Creeks that the
C~herokees acquired their Scotch
names. Descendants Of these High
landers have been enrolled in the
armies Of the United States since that
time and President Roosevelt had sew
eral Of them in his Rough Riders."-

MAKE SOME ODD MISTAKES.
People Who Are Color Blind Are Prone
to B1undering,

People Who Are Color Blind Are Prone
to Blundering.
Color blindness is by no means a
rare affection. Some people expert
ence little Inconvenience from it; 9TH
ers find it a constant embarrassment.
THE world must be a curious place
to color-blind people, Of whom there are
forty males and three females to every
1000 persons" said an expert oculist
recently. Some are blue-yellow blind
and everything seems either red, green
or gray to them; others are red-green
blind and all things appear to them to
be yellow, blue or gray Of various
shades, and others again perceive no
distinction Of color at all, but the
whole world wears an unchanging
aspect of dull gray.
ITO these last a visit to a picture
gallery would reveal merely a collec-
ton of %engravings or photographs. But
the two former have the compensation
of seeing their own two colors much
more brightly than ordinary people.
"Tht color blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer of the
navy went n day to buy material for
q coat, vest and trousers. He bought
a blue coat and red trousers, beliey-
ing them Of the same color. A British
admiral painted a landscape and was
very proud Of his performance. but he
made the tree red, thinking it was the
same color as green. When he DUR
chased a pair Of trousers he chose
green ones, suspecting them to be
brown. g.,
An architects pupil, being directed
to copy the picture of a brown house.
made the house green, the sky scarlet
and the roses blue.
"A p~ostoffice clerk was always short
in his accounts because he could not
distinguish the different colored
stamps. And a sedate Quaker has
been known to buy a green coat for
himself and a red gown for his wife.
thinking they were both brown.
IF you see a man in the street with
a preposterous display of colors chart
tably believe him to be one of the
color blind.
Just why the eyes of women are
less defective in the matter of distin-
guished colors than those Of a nan ia
one of the things in nature that is I'M
explained. The construction is the
same, yet the woman's superiority in
matching colors has always been rec
