self denies that ne has had a misun-
derstanding with those who have ep-
nosite views to his In spite OF this,
however. it is understood that an ele-
ment OF friction has existed.
This is borne out by the frequent
statements and limitations advanced by
Senator TiiIman that the committee IS
as far apart in reaching an agreement
as It has ever been.
Toda-5's session occupied nearly four
hours The House bin was taken up

a Few Salty Facts.

Nothing we eat cuts such figure in
the worlds daily spread, as the salt
which we use season after season, to
pack and preserve next years supply of
meats. Food wouldn't keep-eaters of
food wouldn't keep-without salt.
1t is well recognized fact that nine
out of ten people, think salt is salt, when
really, most so called salt is simply mas
querading under an assumed name. This
kind of salt is responsible for most of
the spoiled meats and unwholesome
foods. Now these impurities we are
talking about, found so freely in COM
mon salt, will spoil the flavor of any
thing they get into. Really pure salt
is known nowadays by the name "Wor-
cester," and is the product of a concern
which has made special study of how
to make salt that is true salt. So if you
use Worcester Salt in packing your
meats, you are certain to enjoy many
good feasts later on when winter comes.

BsaGCrop and Bio Story.

Charles S. Grimes of Wilmington, has
recently determined the result of an ex.
pertinent made this summer in the high
cultivation of onions. Mr.. Grimes put
down little patch only three by twenty
fe.t in area in his garden, planted in red
onions. He gave the plants careful at
tention and the crops prospered so well
that he has taken off nearly four bushels
of excellent marketable bulbs This
yield is at the amazing rate of 1904
bushels 20 the acre. If Mr.. Grimes ex-
pertinent were carried out on a large
scale, with the same relative amount of
Iabor and care, yield of a thousand
dollars to the acre would not appear to
be an altogether wild expectation.

Ezekiel Guyot, Of Salisbury, and his

Gorham Bros. They then started down
Court street to go home when their
horse ran away, the wagon striking a
tree and was wrecked. Both men were
thrown out and rendered unconscious
by the fall They were carried into the
Jail and two physicians worked over
them for some hours before they were
restored. The young man recovered
about ten O'clock, but Ezekiel remained
unconscious until near morning They
were both able to go home.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
President Rooseveit's Prociams-
ton Fixing Thursday, Novem-
her 90.

Washington, Oct. "a THE presidents
proclamation naming Thursday, Novem-
her 90, as a day of Thanksgiving follows:
The time of year has come when, in
accordance with the wise custom of our
fwefathers, il becomes my duty to set
aside special day of thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty because of the
blessings we have received, and of prayer
that these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread well.
being has passed. Never before in our
history or in the history of any other
nation has people enjoyed more abound
ing material prosperity than is ours:
prosperity SO general tn 1t it should arc u e
in us no spirit of reckless pride, and
least of all, a spirit of needless disregard
OF our responsibilities; but rather sober
sense of our many blessings, and reso-
lutte purpose, under Providence, not to
forfeit them by any action of our own.
Material well being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything but
the foundation of true national greatness
and happiness. If we build nothing
upon this foundation, then our national
life will be as meaningless and empty as
house where only the foundation has
been laid. Upon our material well being
must be built a super-structlre of in
dividual and national life lived in, accor-
dance with the laws of the highest NOR
alitv, or else our prosperity itself will in
the long run turn out curse instead of
blessing. We should be both rever-
emily thankful for what we have re-
ceived, and, earnestly bent upon turning
il into a means of grace and not of de-
struction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday, the Goth day of November,
next, as day of thanksgiving and sup
plication on which the people shall meet
in their homes or their churches, de-
voutly acknowledge all that has been
given them, and pray that they may in
addition receive the power to use these
gifts Alright"
