COTTON ROOT BARK A BIG CONFERENCE PARDON MURRAYS
State Biologist Says
"HOId for Ten Cents
Per Pound"

State Botanist and Biologist Gerald
Mccarthy says there is increased in
terest in the cotton-root bark market.
and the large drug manufacturing
houses have created a larger demand
for this bark, which is ued to a great
extent in the manufacture of medi-
cines, both in this country and in
Europe.
For many years past, owing to the
very low price of cotton lint the
price paid for bark by manufacturing
druggists has been SO low that there
was little incentive for gathering it.
But, says Mr.. Mccarthy, at present
prices of farm labor and the known
value of such labor in planting fall
sown crops, no cotton grower can af-
ford to gather cotton-roOt bark for less
than 10 cents per pound, delivered at
the nearest railroad station.
IF the growers will stand firm" de-
clared Mr.. Mccarthy, land refuse to
gather or sell for les ten 10 cents they
can secure that price" He believes
there is large profit in gathering and
marketing the bark and says as the
annual crops of the staple have be-
come much smaller there is a cores
ponding increase in the demand for
barks, just as the demand for cotton
increases. He said also that the mar
ket for the cotton-root bark medicines
are being widened.
Mr.. Mccarthy gave the following
method for preparing cotton-root bark
for market:
only the bark of the root be,.0w
ground is wanted. This may be col
lected at any time after the lint is
gathered until early spring, or until
such time as the bark when peeled
shows black straks on inner side.
"Cotton-root bark must be stripped
from the woody core while fresh; dry
the peeled bark under a shed or other
water-tight' cover; turn the bark every
day until as dry as hay. Drying takes
about a week.
THE dry bark may be packed in
clean sacks, barrels or boxes. Drug
giStS will not buy less than 100
pounds Most of the larger manufac-
turing druggists will buy good bark in
lots of one ton or more.
ITO secure sale for cotton-root bark
growers should first collect a small lot
Of three or four pounds or so and dry
it carefully. Then mail samples of
about four ounces to each of the
houses. stating how much bark can be
supplied.
Il advise that the bark be sold
t. o. b. at nearest depot and that no
offer of less than 10 cents per pound
be accepted. If no satisfactory offer
is received from samples sent do not
collect more bark"

The Most Beautiful Carriers
Address,

Once more, good friend. the rolling

Has brought the Christmas-Tide;
Once more your Carrier bids good
Within your home to bide.
He deems it needless here to tell
How in the morning gray
He brought "The Old Reliable"
To open up your day.
Nor does he doubt that you have
learned
From out it's pages bright
That right for wrong should be re-
How much more right for right?
And now he has brief time to pause,
For lies his way before:
He's on the trail of Santa Clause,
And tracks him to this door.

TO Consider Questions
Relating to Insur-
anCe.

Governor Glenn and Insurance Com
missioner j. r. Young and Attorney
General r. w. Gilmer,, have been in
vited by Insurance superintendent
Drake, of the District of Columbia,
to attend a conference to be held
Thursday, February 1st, in Chicago,
to consider questions relating to insur-
ance in this country.
This call follows several conferences
that have been held recently in New
York, Washington, and other parts of
the country, and an interview with
President Roosevelt. Mr. brakes idea
is that the best features of the insur-
ance laws of the various States should
be compiled and remodelel into a
model code with a view to it's adoption
by Congress for the District of Co
iumbia, and by the Legislatures Of
the several States for their common
wealths.
The substance of Superintendent
brakes cali is as follows:
''In view of the interest that is now
being taken in the business of instr
ance and in many sections abroad,
too, also because of the belief, almost
universally existing, that the disturb
ed situation requires the wisest, most
thoughtful and comprehensive con-
sideration, it has been suggested by
several officials, who rank high in pub
lie life, that conference of all the
governors attorneys general and in
surance commissioners OF the States,
Territories and the District of Colum-
bia be held for the purpose of con-
sidering matters pertaining to life in
surance, as we'll as the business of in
surance in general. Therefore, after
a preliminary conference held in New
York city last week with a number of
insurance commissioners, and an ex-
tended meeting that was subsequently
held in this citx on the 9th. 10th and
18th inst, it was deemed advisable to
call such a meeting"

CENTURIES AGO.
Ine South and the Southern Farmers
Can Well Afford to Be Inde-
pendent

Before leaving for his home in
Hillsboro yesterday Secretary Parker
said:
Quite number who profess to be
very much interested in the welfare
of the South seem to think ~ or Is
cent cotton will prove to be an injury
instead of a blessing to the South by
stimulating the growth of cotton in
other countries. OF course it is a
very hard matter to look into the
future with any degree of accuracy
but this we know, history tells us cot
ton was grown in India Egypt, China
and other countries centuries before
it was grown in the South. 1t seems
those people have not made much
progress up to this time and why
should the cotton industry now take
on new life and increased production
in those countries? Again, it is ac-
knowledged that on account of climate
and soil conditions the South is the
best known country for the growth of
cotton, and yet with all these things
In her favor it has required more than
a hundred years of training and expe-
rience to be able to grow $4,000, ,O00-
pale crop. If these other countries
tnat are not as we'll situated do not
do better than the South has done in
growing cotton it will be long time
before they will be able to clothe the
WI III WllHOul the SOutn S assistance.
Before that time shall come, the farm
ers of the South will have an opportu-
nifty of selling a great many crops at
profitable figures
"A crop of cotton at IL cents per
pound will bring to the South
$200. 900. 600 more money than the
same crop would bring if sold at 8
cents per pound, three-fourths of
which would come from foreign coun-
tries. What business man in the
South wants to see this enormous sum
kept out of the South? And vet. that
is just what the man is doing who
tries to put the price of cotton down.
Thanks to the foresight and patriotism
of our business men. they realize what
GOOD prices of cotton mean to the
South and her every industry and have
Joined hands with the farmers to hold
the price of cotton at q point which
will insure to the farmers of the
farmers of the South profit on their
la"or end to her every industry a de-
gree Of prosperity heretofore unknown
and which never would be known if
low prices of cotton were to prevail
The farmers and the entire South
have a good thing in the cotton crop
at II cents per pound and they know
II. With this fact before them it
would be the height of folly to drive
the price down..

A Card of Thanks.

To our friends and customers in the
Southern States.
AS the year draws to a close we de-
sire through this medium to thank you
all for contributing so literally to our
business during the past, and especial
ly during the season of 1905. Since
beginning our campaign # paint sell
ing in the South, some five years ago.
our trade has constantly increased till
the "Kurfees" Paint has become az
most a household word. Our repre-
setative Mr.. Jno. w. Kurfees, of North
Carolina, who looks after our interests
in the two Cardinals and Virginia.
came to Louisville recently. When
he stepped into our office on the morn
ing of November 18th. he drew from
his pocket an order for solid car
load of "Kurfees Paints" to be shipped
at once to Gastonia Hardware Co., at
Gastonia. N. c. These enterprising
people have handled our entire line for
several seasons and are highly pleased
with our goods. Their trade has so
rapidly increased they have decided TO
purchase in car lots. All persons in
the vicinity of Gastonia desiring to use
paint will do well to confer with these
people before buying, as the man who
buys in car lots not only buys at right
prices, but has an assortment of every
fees referred to above spent several
days in our Office together with the
other travelling men in general con-
ference after which he left for his
home in the Tar Heel State. When he
started he told the other boys his gun
was we'll loaded and that he had
some interesting talk for the Paint
Dealers throughout his territory for
1906. We are glad to know that he
feels this way about it, because we
are sure there is no better paint propo-
sition in the United States
Our line for 1906 is complete In
every detail, and we invite the most
careful examination of same in COM
parison with any other line before
placing your Spring order. Any one
desiring to purchase in car load guam
titles will do well to write us and we
will have our representative to call
on you at once.
Any buyers no matter how large or
how small cannot go wrong on the
'Kurfees" line. The goods are right
the prices are right. Every gallon
guaranteed.
Yours for business.

RoosEvELT's NOTE FOR PEACE.
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov.
ernments.

On June the following dispatch
was sent by the president through dip
lomatic channels to the Japanese and
Russian governments:
1.-THE president feels that the time
has come when in the interest of all
mankind he must endeavor to see il
it is possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. When both Russia and
and friendship. 1t hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and ii
feels that the progress of the world is
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president &C
cordingly urges the Russian and Jap
own sakes, but in the interest of the
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another.
''The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted di-
rectly and exclusively between the
belligerents; in other words, that
there may be a meeting of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any intermediary, in
order to see if it is not possible for
these representatives of the two pow
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments do
now agree to such meeting and is
asking the Japanese and Russian gov
ernments to agree likewise.
"While the president does not feel
that any intermediary should be call
ed with respect to the peace negoti-
ations themselves, he is entirely will
ing to do what he properly can, if
the powers concerned feel that his SER
vices will be of effect in arranging the
preliminaries as to the time and place
of meeting. But if even these prelim-
inaries can be arranged directly be-
tween the two powers, or in any other
way, the president will be glad, as his
sole purpose is to bring about meet
ing which the whole civilized world
will pray may result in peace"
