Mr. divers Bid.

( William J Oliver has summoned to
his aid some of the best equipped
managers and administrators in the
country, and he and they have organ
lied a company whose paid-up capital
is to be $1,000, 900. In other words,
every demand of the administration
has been met, although the time in
which to complete the task does not
expire until tomorrow.
1t is now reasonably certain that the
great contract will be awarded to Will
liam J. Oliver and his associates. Be-
yond all doubt this is the greatest con-
tract ever awarded in this world to a
private construction company. It is
the biggest piece Of construction work
ever undertaken in this world by one
company. Mr.. Oliver doubtless SUBJ
mitted the record bid of the world, and
the expectation is that he and his asso-
ciates will, without unnecessary delay,
receive a record award.
Such an award will be a comfort to
the South, which had not been consid-
cred in the running. MI. divers cour-
age and experience has brought this
section into all races, nc matter how
large the prizes may be-. It will, too,
bring substantial benefits to this Sec
ton in various ways, and no doubt our
gulf ports will now get a share OF the
benefits that will flew from the gigan-
tic construction work that the oliver
company will have in hand in case it
secures the contract. Between Mr..
and Mr.. Ackert it is reasonable
to conclude that this section of the
country will be treated fairly and just
ly. All the plums, in other words, will
not go to the effete east.

HOW MUCH FERTILIZER TO
APPLY.

The question:, How much fertilizer
should be used per acre?"' cannot be an
way. It is sometimes put in this form:
what is the most profitable amount that
may be applied per acre?' Neither can
exactly and accurately answered. The
soil, it's character, condition, preparation,
etc, may be well known, or comfortable
Director Georgia Experiment Station, De-
partment of Agriculture, in the Virginia
Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
We know that some crops will bear
larger mounts of fertilizers with reason

may be expected of other soils. A crop

Corn is rather an uncertain crop on the

Cotton is therefore another ideal crop
for liberal fertilizing. A small amount
of fertilizers applied per acre will no
doubt yield a larger percentage profit
on its cost than will a larger amount.
To Illustrator: An application of 81 worth
OF fertilizer per acre may cause an in
creased yield of cotton Cat 10 cents per
OF 200 to 300 per cent. on its cost. I have
frequently had such results. But it does
not follow that twice as heavy an appli-

suits, or, that three times as much would
cause three times as great al increase
In the yield. In other words, the rate
OF increase in the yield of cotton will
not be in proportion to the increase in
the amount Of fertilizers applied. Two
dollars worth of fertilizer per acre may
yield al increase In the crop of Sc; but
Sc worth would not therefore bring an

But careful observation has shown tina
an application of SIS to Sc worth of fertil-

LOST ON HATTERAS.
Schooner Wrecked and
Grew PefiShed.
Unknown Vessel Goes to Pieces on
DiamOnd---Life Savers Unable
to Respond to Signals OF
Distress.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. The unknown
three-masted schooner driven ashore
during Tuesday night on the south
west corner of the inner Diamond
Shoals, went to pieces last night and
whenl life savers from the Hatteras and
Creed's Hill life saving stations arose
at daybreak today to renew their efforts
to rescue the crew of the vessel there
was no trace of the illfated schooner to
be seen. There seems to be no doubt
whatever Of the loss of all the crew who
were seen yesterday clinging to the
rigging of the ship franticaIly display
ing signals ofdistress, but whose rescue
elements.
The position of the vessel as seer
yesterday after she struck on the
shoals would lead to the impression that
she was bound sounthward.
The vessel is believed to have carried
a crew OF from eight to ten men, and
possibly more, and those who were not
washed overheard and drowned are be-
lieved to nave been frozen to death
while dashed to the masts and rigging
before the vessel went completely to
pieces and everything went into the
ocean,.

of New York, bound from that port for
Wilmington, n. c., with a cargo of

time the wreck there was reported.
Mr.. Pendleton fears that the vessel
wrecked may be his.
The schooner William H. Bailey, !
which loaded coal at Newport News for
the south, is said also to have been due
off Hatteras about this time. It is
thought that the identity of the vessel
may eventually be ascertained by the
washing ashore of wreckage.

WHISKY" COLD CURES.
Danger Of using Alcoholic Mixtures
or Coal Tar Tablets.

The most dangerous thing that one
can do when affected with a cough or
cold is to use a medicine that contains
whiskey or a tablet that is made of
some coal tar product. Putting aside
all moral objections to filling up with
whisky or drugs because one has a
cold, the injurious physical effect
should be sufficient to keep n from
using these strong medicines.
The most sensible as well as the
only scientific way to treat cough or
cold is by inhaling medication that
will kill the germs and give relief to
the irritated mucous membrane in
the nose, throat and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are
used in this way, Hyomei stands pre-
eminent. It is breathed through a
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and the first breath of
it's healing air relieves the irritation,
and its continued use soon effects a
thorough cur
The bestpeoplei in Goldsboro always
keep Hyomei at hand in the winter
months, and at the first symptoms OF
a cold or bronchial trouble, use the
remedy and prevent serious and last
ing illness. If you have any doubts
as to the effects of Hyomei in curing
coughs, colds and all bronchial trou-
bles, the guarantee J. III. Hill & Son
give with every outfit should con-
vince you of its curative powers. A
Hyomei outfit costs ST., and if it does
not give satisfaction, j. I'll. Hill &
Son will return your money.
Extra bottles of Hyomei, ifneeded
can be obtained for SOC. but the COM
plete outfit is usually enough to curt
several colds.

THE Valley City Times Record says
the Record is mistaken in saying that
Gov. Burke opposed tile initiative and
referendum at the Chautauqua tenn
perance meeting. The writer was not
there, of course: but half a dozen Of
our North Dakota exchanges stated in
almost identical language that "Gov.
Burke expressed himself as being OPP
posed to the provision of the initiative
and referendum allowing amendment
OF the constitution. We believe that
Editor Packard will find, II he investi-
gates the matter, that in the govern
or's ChautauQua remarks he placed
himself squarely against the constitu-
tional provision of the proposition.
