THE MONTHLY BULLETIN.
Commissioner Patterson Issues State
mcnt Relative to Official Pub
IicatiCM.

There has been great irregularlty
about the publication of the Monthly
Bulletin of the State Department of
Agriculture, and Commissioner S. l..
Patterson has issued the following
statement concerning it:
For many months past the bulle
tin has been irregular in reaching its
subscribers. 1t might be anywhere
from two to four months behind; or
at times, two or three issues would
appear in as many weeks. This state
of things has led to constant COM
plant among the bulletin readers and
has seriously affected the value of
some issues. The department has been
criticised and many complaints have
been made.
THE department has not been at
fault. Nobody has been as much an
nOyed over the delays and irregulari-
ties of the bulletin as the officers of
the department, who prepare it for
publication.
1.-THE State Printer has of late adj
ded largely to the equipment of his
office, in order to keep up with the
constant increase of State printing
From now on he promises that the
bulletin and all other State printing
shall be issued promptly and regular
ly. Beginning the indulgence, there
fore, of the bulletin readers for past
failures, l earnestly hope that there
will be no cause for complaint in the
future"

ON MAN|A'S VERGE
Now All This Has Been
Changed.
Robert Winter Tells of the Miserable
Condition From Which He Was
Lifted to Present Hap
piness.

Speaking of how he was rescued
from a miserable fate, Mr.. Winter says
he believes that if the power that
saved him were very largely extended
covering all territory where saloons
are found, the latter would have to go
out of business. Here is what he says:
l entered the Kelley Institute at
Greensboro, n. c., June "a, 1902, for
| months treatment. l had always
| been in the habit of drinking whiskey,
and was subject to drinking spells so
| that l had to be under the care of a
| physician, and was on the verge of
mania and death. Since leaving
Greensboro all this is changed, and
can eat, sleep, and do a days work
with any man, and have no desire for
| liquor but instead a reVulSiOn for it.
pass half dozen saloons every day
going to and from work, and have no
| thought or craving whatever for, whis-
key. This is hard to realize and
harder still to believe by any one
in the same condition that l was in.
arb now convinced that if your treat
ment was put into general use the sa-
looms would have to go out of bus
mess. AS to the treatment itself and
the care given me at your Institution
l cannot saw enough in its praise. 1t
was the grandest kind of a summer
vacation. | would be glad if this let
ter would induce some poor fellow in
his last extremity, as l surely was, to
take your treatment and be fully re-
claimed at less cost than a Whiskey
bill, and if this can be the means of
saving even one l shall be amply re-
paid. ROBERT WINTER.
