sufficient to cover expenses and the
money made Thanksgiving will

Another Great Cure by
Hoods SarsapariIIa.

Charles L. Hutchins is well known
and popular in S. Royalton, VT, being
driver of the stage to and from Chelsea.
He says of his boy Arthur, now Is,
whose portrait appears below:
"He fell on the mill dam and in
jured his hip. An abscess developed
and dreadful sickness followed. The
doctors lanced the abscess and later
performed an operation in the Mary
Fletcher Hospital in Burlington.
Arthur came near dying after the
operation, but we got him home and
neighbors said he would certainly die.
In the spring l began taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla, al usual, and gave Arthur
a little each day. After a week or two
there was a great change in the boy.
He seemed hungry, and one day sur
prised us by exclaiming, How good
my food fastest We could soon see
the color coming into his face, as day
by day he got better, seemed more
lively and took more interest in things.
1.-The sore is now entirely healed,
there is no pain in hip or limb.
Arthur goes to school every day and
his health could not be better. To our
friends his cure by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla seems miraculous"

The Executive Committee and

to make greater Efforts during the
Year for increase in numbers and
efficiency in each Sunday School in
the County, and requested that no.
tees be given all s. 8. workers in
the County that they use every pos
sible efo1t to increase the interest in
their own Sunday School.
They also requested tina, every
person who possibly can, will attend
the State 8. 8. Convention, which
will be held in Charlotte April 3rd
TO 9Th next, free entertainm snt will
be given all delegates. If those who
desire to go will forward their names
to II. B. Parker, Jr., Goldsboro, N.
c., he will forward them to the chair
man of the entertainment committee

homes. The program for said con-
vention is undoubtedly the best ever
prepared, and the finest S. 8. work
ers of the United States will be pres
ent and take part in the program.
Ali Sunday Schools WAC have not
yet contributed their part of two
cents for each member, and ten cents
for each officer and teacher will
please send same in at once to J. w.

Secretary Taft's Indecision.

Secretary Taft writes to a Roose-
welt club in Cincinnati to say that
bossesand machines are S undesirable
as inpendency is desirable. This no
doubt means he is about to put poll
tics behind by going back to the
bench He has been offered the
place now held by Justice Brown,
who, on accountof failing eyesight,
prefers retirement.
The war secretary hesitates be-
cause he has the Panama canal and
the Philippines or his hands, and al
so because he has a presidential bee
in his bonnet. But at the parting of
the Ways he may decide that a bird
in the hand is better than one in the
bush. He knows he cannot stay in
power until the canal is completed
or the Filipinos paclfed unless
pacification of the Leonard Wood
sort is to be progressed rapidly, and
he also knows that a walkover to the
White House is never PERMITTED.
1t is safe therefore to say that TIE
portly and popular Secretary of Wal
will see his way clear to the supreme
bench, where Leonard W3od and
ShOntses do not modest or make
afraid, where Boss Coxes are un-
known, and where he will find COLI
genial work in a corgeniai stmos-
phere. The vice president Will see
that confirmation of bis nomination
to the supreme court is secured with
out delay Or friction, and there are
other men who will assist him to g. t
out of politics and into law again.

The purchase Of fertilizers and the

A rule the condi.,O :, AVE been
f,NuraDie for farm woIs, AMI If the
rainfall ICES not become excessive
the crops in the south will have the
advantage of an early start. But an
early start and an increased acreage
do not necessarily mean large crops,
for the weather will continue to be a
factor until the crops are harvested.
All that can be said is, excellent
progress has been made In seeding
and other preparatory steps, and
that the outlook for corn is better
than it WIS last spring. The acreage
is to be larger, and the acreage in
cotton promises to be larger than
that of last summer, but below that
of the summer of 1904, when 81, 7O3,-
311 acres were devoted to cotton, ana
