Snake Grew i'll Dog.
LAGRANGE Sentinel.

Mr.. r. G. Groom killed a large
white oak snake just inside of his
front gate Saturday night.
This makes fourteen white oak
snakes he has killed within a month.
Mr.. Groom tells a remarkable story
about dog which belongs to his
father and which was bitten by a
white oak snake.
Several weeks after the dog was
bitten it sickened and died. Out of
curiosity Mr.. Groom cut the dog open
and found a white oak snake two
feet long clinging to the dogs liver.
Now its up to the science to explain
this phenQrnenon. We had often heard
OF such snake stories. But had al
ways doubted till Mr.. Groom told us
that he witnessed the circumstances
himself.
He is a truthful man.

TEN CENT COTTON AN u
TIMATUM.

Two cotton conventions WE'RE
held on Tuesday last. The cotton
growers met at st. Louis, and the
cotton mill men at Charlotte. The
latter decided to advance the prices
of yarns 2 cents a pound. They say
they will shut down their mills un-
less they can get the prices named in
the new schedule. Nearly half a
million spindles were represented at
the Charlotte meeting and undoubt-
edly the new selling prices will be
adhered to. They certainly should
be. The mill men are entitled to
fair profits, and at present they are
not earning them.
The Cotton Growers Association
met at st. Louis, and it was largely
attended. The association proposes
to organize corporation which is
to build warehouses to hold surplus
cotton, thereby preventinga glutting
of the market. The plan adopted is
KNOWN DIS CnO = w dCO p1dAs
In the meanwhile the association
urges the cotton growers to Withhold
from the market all middling cotton
that does not command 10 cents. The
association drew the line at the right
point when it named 10 cents as the
acceptable minimum. The ARGUS
has repeatedly asked the farmers to
hold all cotton that will not bring 10
cents. Theirs is no top crop, and rust
and shedding have made inroads
upon the middle and bottom crops.
Expert observers are modifying their
estimates of the crop. It is not to be
record maker. The warm dry
weather is increasing port receipts to
high figures, but those figures are no
indication of the size of the crop.
We say again, store all cotton for
which you cannot secure 10 cents.
Don't sell pound of good cotton for
less. Freeze out the bears. A naked
world will come to your aid If you
will only stand firm.

In the campaign, State Chairman
Simmons requested Pou & Fuller to-
give him an opinion upon certain
portions of the Election Law about
which information is desired by cleo
ton officers and voters. Complying
with the request of the State Chair
man, the opinion was rendered yes
terday. 1t is as follows:
Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chairman
State Democratic Executive Conn
mittee, Raleigh, n. G.
Dear Sir: AT your request, we have
examined certain portions of the
Election Law. Without troubling
you with our reasons, we will give
our conclusions upon the points sugs
gested by you.
D We do not think that a gen-
eral new registration is necessary
this year.
(2) We think the registaotiOn
books used in 1902 should be revised.
The names of voters who have died.
since that time, removed to other
precincts, or who have otherwise be-
come ineligible, should be stricken
from the list; and the names of all
qualified voters then remaining on
the old books should be transcribed
by the registrar upon the new books,
and on this new book all new regis
trations should be made. The law
certainly permits this, if it does not
require it, and we think this course
should be followed.
(9 Where a new precinct has
been formed, of course an entirely
new registration in that precinct is
necessary. there being for it 40 old
registration. We think it will be
necessary, not only to have new
registration in the now precinct, but
we think it will be necessary to have
new registrations in all of the old
precincts from which the new one
was formed. We do not see how
this can be avoided.
a. The names Of all voters who
are entitled to registration under the
grandfather clause, and who this
year so register, should be certified
in the same manner as was provided
for the certiicatton of such voters at
the last election, so that their names
may be inscribed upon the perman-
ent rolls.
With much respect, we are,
Yours truly,

Goldsboro, N. c.

Dear Sir: Weknow what the paints
are all made-of; you know; we have
to. In Wilson, N. c., are two deal
ers. One of 'em thinks he can't sell
paint for more than 81 gallon; the
other won't have such stuff in his
store-sells Devoe lead-and-zinc, of
course.
The 81 paint is adulterated 76 per
cent; Devoe is all lead and zinc and
linseed oil, with as little good dryer
as possible. A gallon of Devoe has
in it little more paint than four
gallons of the other. A gallon of De-
voc will cover as much as four of the
other. Who wants to pay wages for
painting four gallons for one?
How much is DeYoe lead-and-zinc
worth in that town?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & Co.

Sanford Express.
A man by the name of Guy was
arrested here Wednesday upon the
charge of trying to induce operatives
to leave the Sanford Cotton Mill and
take employment in the cotton mill
at Laurinburg. He also tried to get
operatives from the Jonesboro and
Cameron cotton mills. He was
given a hearing before Mayor Chish-
olm and fined $25.0O and costs. He
wired his people for the money to
pay the fine but failing to hear from
them he was locked up in the guard
house. He says when he gets out OF
this trouble he expects to leave the
lstate and go to Florida.

Laurinburg, N. c., Oct. 1.-The
farmers are considerably put out
over the price of cotton which has
fallen from 10a to 81 during the last
few days. Not few of them are in
clined to hold and take chances on
a better price later on. They say the
crop will undoubtedly be short in
spite of Mr.. Prices efforts to create
a great crop from his Office in New
York; that the place to make cotton
is in the fields Of Dixie, and with a
gray mule and not with a pad and
pencil.

Outpost skirmishes constitute the
sum total of disclosed activities on
the Liao and Taitse rivers in Man
churia. General Kuropatkin is res
ported to be keeping in contact with
the entire japanese front. Russian
scouts report that the main japanese
force is centered in the vicinity of
the Yental mines. Fresh troops and
convalescents are arriving at Muk-
den in large numbers. The railway
north from Mukden is proving Of
much value to General Kuropatkin
in bringing supplies for his army as
we'll as reinforcements. Chinese ar
irving at Chefoo report that Japa-
nese attacks on Port Arthur have
resulted in heavy losses to the as
sailing forces while the Russians suf-
tered comparatively little.
Field Marshal Oyama has begun
the long expected advance upon the
Russian army at Mukden, and
coincident movement against Sim
mintin is Indicated by the fact that
the japanese have occupied Siaobey-
no, west of the Liao River. There
is a concentration of japanese forces
in the vicinity of the Yentai mines,
and the advance lines are being grad
ually pushed eastward. General
Sakharoff in the dispatches to the
War Office at ST. Petersburg reports
successes in several engagements Of
minor character.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 3O.-The gen
eral staff has received news that in
the general assault on Port Arthur
from September 20 to September 26
the japanese were everywhere re-
pulsed.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 3O.-From a
reliable source the Associated Press
hears that sharp fighting has oc-
cured near Mukden, resulting in
the japanese driving in General
Kuropatkin's outposts.
London, Sept. 29.--A dispatch to
a news agency from VIa3ivostock
says that according to reports from
Port Arthur two japanese torpedo
boats and japanese steamer have
beeh sunk by mines near Port Ar
thur during the last few days. A
japanese cruiser of the Nitaka type,
it is also added, was badly dam
aged.
Chefoo, Sept. 28.-Russians resid-
ing here claim to have received in
formation that the japanese losses
in the last assault on Port Arthur
which began September 10, were
seven thousand. A Chinese who left
the fortress on September 26, says
that the Russian losses were between
800 and 600.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 28.-The
latest official advices from the from
are silent on the subject of the
Japanese fanking movements cas-
and west of Mukden, from which
the War Office concludes that Fielt
Marshal Oyama has not yet begun
to press his advance from suanchan
or up the Liao river valley, indicat
ing that there is still further della.

(ciated Press is now authorized de
finitely to deny the report that tn

The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nourish-
ment. Health and strength can
not be restored to any sick man
or weak woman without first re-

stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and
run down limbs and organs of the

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of,food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
