Farmers will remember that onl,

Farmers will remember that only
few years ago cotton sold on our
streets at 4 cents per pound. 1t is
10 cents per pound today, but that
does not mean it will be anything
like that much when the 1904 crop
is put on the market. Tobacco has
beon cultivated in this and other
counties to advantage and has helped
many a poor man to lift his mort
gage. Therefore, inasmuch as the
crop of tobacco in North Carolina is
certainly going to be materially de.
creased, is it not advisable for our
farmers to raise some cotton and
some tobacco and have two money
crops instead of one. Darlington

MONUMENTS or SHAME.
Mounds Erected to Men Who Were
Liars While on Earth.


Liars While on Earth.
While other nations build monuments
to the memory Of men who lave done
great and noble deeds, the Dyaks heap
up a pile of the branches of trees in
memory Of the man who has uttered
great lie, so that future generations
may know of his wickedness and take
warning from it.
The persons deceived start the tu-
gong bula by heapins up large num-
Der Of branches in some conspicuous
spot by the side of the main road Ev.
cry paSserby contributes to it and at
the same time curses the man in mem
DRY of whom it is.
The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass Sal
cred duty, the omission of which will
meet with supernatural punishment.
and so, however pressed for time a
Dyak may be, he stops to throw on the
pile some branches or twigs.
This custom dates from very ancient
times. 1t is interesting to notice that
though the ethics of the Dyaks, even at
the present day, do not agree in many
points with the moral code Of other
and more advanced races, still from
the earliest ages the Dyaks seem to
have agreed in considering lie most
disgraceful crime and liar a man
who deserves the curses not only Of his
own generation, but also Of people yet
unborn.
A few small branches, few dry
twigs and leaves-that is what the tu-
gong bula is at first But day by day
1t increases in size. Every passerby
adds something to it, and in few
years time 1T becomes a large and i'm
posing monument raised to the men,
DRY Of one who was liar.
1t has often been remarked by Dyaks
that any other punishment would, if a
man had his choice, be much preferred
to having tugong bula put up in his
memory. Other punishments are soon
forgotten, but tugong bula remains
as a testimony to mans untruthful-
ness for succeeding generations to wit
ness and is standing disgrace to his
children's children.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the
efficacy of curses-a curse among them
being q fineable offense-it is easy to
understand how Dyak would dread
the accumulation of curses which
would necessarily accompany the for
nation of a tugong bula.-Straits Set
Elements Budget.
