reputation for itself "a a state OF prog
ress and enterprise by the great
crowds il has sent to the jamestown
Exposition, and it is certain hat no
state, except Virginia itself, has given
greater crowds while the palm for the
greatest crowd on any one day belongs
to North Carolina.
The State did we'll by Jamestown
not alone in the great crowds that II
sent, but in the exhibits that received
so much praise. The State had its
own building and made a great ex-
hikit, While individual citizens sent
many things that were attractive TO
the visitors, and which showed that
in North Carolina the best is raised
and made.
AS the result Of the exhibits made
North Carolina has Jared well in the
winning Of prizes and medals, and in
the announcement of awards made

ATOOl Cabinet for the Home

The reason ordinary home tools be-
come nicked and battered sooner than
shop tools of equal quality is because
they are not properly kept.
The best tools will be ruined in a
short time if they are thrown in with
others. Each tool should have a place
of its own 50 that it viii not come in
contact with another.
Keen kutter Too Cabinets have
been designed containing just the tools
that are needed in every home. each
in a place of its own, carefully sep
arated from every other tool.
The cabinet itself is made of natural
oak, beautifully finished and polished.
and the tools are very best that are
made.
The Keen kutter Tool Cabinet is the
only one made which contains d set
of trade-marked and guaranteed tools.
the only one that can be bought with
out risk. If anything goes wrong with
any tool. it will either be replaced or
money refunded.
Keen kutter Tool Cabinets and Tool
Boxes come in different sizes and con-
tain various assortments of tools.
ranging in price from $3.50 10 S100.0 90.
These Cabinets contain in different
numbers and varieties. Saws. Brace.
Bits, Chisels. Drills. Gimlets. Brad
Avis. Scratch Avn, Planes, Hammers,
Hatchet. Files, Pliers. DraWing-knife.
Screw-drivers. Wrenches, Nail-set.
Reamer Rules. Squares. Tape Meas
ure. Level. and many accessories. such
as Wise, Clamps, Oilstone, etc.
Besides the racks for tools. there is
ample drawer room. so that not ONLY
the tools but the entire working outfit
may be kept together.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

Stand steady, my cotton growing
friends. The most liberal estimate by
Mr.. Buston, the English authority
who has been all over the cotton belt
In the interest of the English spin
ners. states that 1900. 900 is the max
lmum crop and 1900, 600 quite pos
sible. Other authorities equally as re-
liable says IL, 900. 600 or less. This be-
ing 50, cotton is bound to go to u tc
10 cents q pound as soon as the dis
tress and contract cotton sold last
spring IS out of the way.

the present crop to be neare fourteen

equally as badly informed as to the
cost of producing cotton. It says:
