A COLLISION.
1t Was Between Two Men, and the
Climax Was Pathetic.

OiiAtGN w 10 oNtShiSs
A blind man was making his way
cut Washington avenue, using his
cane as a guide for his feet. Across
his chest was placard bearing the
legend, q am blind" and suspend
ed by a chain around his neck was
a small tin cup, a convenient recep-
tacle for charity coins.
1t was broad daylight, and he
knew that stretch of walk so well
that he felt very little fear of &C
cident. He was about the middle
Of the block, so he did not have TO
look out for the step down from the
pavement to the cross street. There
are never many pedestrians out that
far on Washington avenue, and no
one is going to run ruthlessly into
blind man.
He was striding braTely along
when, to his utter establishment, he
collided with a rapidly moving OBJ
ject. The object was man, who
grew very angry, for the impact had
dislodged his hat. 1t had also
served to hurl the blind man back
ward, SO that he must have fallen
had it not been for the man who
sprang to the rescue and who tells
the story.
HHayen't Won got any sense?';
the enraged man cried. ''Now,
you'd better pick up my hat, you
awkward lubbard!"
81 can't" the disconnected fellow
replied. 81 think it was your own
fault. You ought to look where
you are going"
GLOW can 1 look where 1 am go
ing? Can't you see that 1 am blind?
1t is you who ought to look where
you are going and not go humping
into blind man"
"What's that? You blind? l
didn't know. l couldn't tell, you
see. 1 am blind too. Pm sorry l
knocked off your hat, I'm afraid l
can't help you find it. 1 wonder
which way it rolled"
The other man was staring blank
ly at him. Then he CROPPED his way
forward, fell upon the other blind
mans neck and said in a broken
voice: Eve blind people get selfish,
expecting all the world to get out
of our way. ! didn't mean to talk
to you as [ did"
By this time the witness to the
little tragedy had picked up the bat
tered hat, dropped coin into each
cup and hurried on, saddened but
grateful for the priceless gift OF
sight.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Eoreian Tonaues In ItaIx.

Few people, even in Italy prob
ably, are aware of the number of
colonies of foreigners In the country
who speak different languages and
are ignorant of Italian. There are
at least half a dozen of these colo
MES, inhabiting quiet hooks of the
peninsula, a little world to them
selves. They are French, German,
Slav, Albanian, Greek and Catalan.
French is the language of the coun-
try folk about Aosta. German dia-
lects are found about Domodossola
and in parts of the Venetian prov
ince; Slav is spoken about Friuli, in
the north, where it is Slavonian, and
in the Molise, where it is Serb.
There are about $4,000 Italo-Serbs.
Albanian is spoken by about 10000
Italians in fourteen circumscrip-
lions of southern Italy and three in
Sicily. Fifteen communes about
Lecce and Reggie speak Greek.

CHARCOAL AS MEDICINE.
An Antidote For Poison and Good
. Household Remedy.


Charcoal as a home medicine has
many uses, says Medical Talk.
'For all forms of poison pulver-
lied charcoal is recommended to act
as if by magic"
Our opinion is that these ae-
counts just now are greatly exagger-
ated. We doubt very much whether
poisonous dose of strychnine would
be antidoted by charcoal. At the
same time, we believe charcoal to be
a very excellent remedy, especially
in ptomaine poisoning. All kinds
of fermentation of food within the
stomach OF decomposition of food
are Immediately corrected by char
coal.
For many years we have been in
the habit of prescribing pulverized
charcoal for cholera infantum. This
we add to the milk or other fluid
nourishment which the child is tax
ing. The dose is immateIial. As
much as can be taken will do no
harm.
We believe that the frequent use
of charcoal in most cases of dys-
pepsia would be beneficial. Char
coal is perfectly harmless and can
be taken freely without the slight
est danger.
Charcoal acts as a disinfectant
and absorbent of noxious gases and
thoroughly cleanses the whole ali
mentary canal. Therefore, while
we regard these recent accounts
about the curative virtues of char
coal as exaggeration, we are glad so
innocent and useful a remedy as
charcoal has been brought into
prominence by them.
We recommend our readers to
give pulverized charcoal a promi-
nent place as a household remedy.
1t can be made by those who use
wood as a fuel. Hard wood is the
best. The coal should be a clean
one. 1t can be pulyerlzed with a
rolling pin. Those who do not have
access to Goals can purchase the
charcoal already pulverized at the
drug store.
It is a cheap remedy 1t is an eff
hcient remedy. 1t is a harmless
remedy, and it is a remedy that we
can thoroughly recommend in all
stomach and intestinal disorders.
In cases where it does no good it
certainly will do no harm.
If we were present at a case of
accidental poisoning and had no
other antidote convenient we should
certainly use pulverized charcoal.
Therefore, it may be well to bear
this in mind. Should any one be
poisoned in the household a doctor
should be Immediately sent for.

now TO SECURE GOOD PRICE.

There is general agreement that
there is no prospect for large cot
ton crop this year. Mr.. Harvie Jor-
dan, president of the Southern Cot
ton Association, in circular letter
urges the farmers to market the crop
slowly. Among other things he says:
''There is one practical way, and
only one, to maintain the price of
cotton at it's true value, and that is to
market the crop slowly from the
opening of the season to the end.
This can be successfully done if each
grower will store his crop in good
warehouse, or under a good shelter
at home and sell one-tenth Of his
crop each month. If money is need
ed, the warehouse receipts can be de-
posted with the local bankers as Sc
curity for needed loans to meet press
ing obligations. This is the only prac-
teal plan now in operation which
will tend to check heavy ava
lanche of selling in September, Oc-
tober and November, by which in
the past an enormous, over supply
of spot cotton has been deluged on
the market far beyond the immedi-
ate legitimate consumption. 1t is
THIS heavy weight of spot cotton on
the markets during the fall months
which depresses prices and paralyzes
the demand. AS cotton grower, or
as man interested in helping to Sc
cure the true value of our great
staple crop will you aid and encour-
age a slow movement of the crop this
season? The higher the price Of cot
tH, the greater the volume of cur
rtAcy in the South to make more in
dependent homes, more prosperous
business institutions and general bet
terment of our entire agricultural,
industrial and financial common
wealth. Talk high price and slow
movement Of the crop to your neigh
bors at home, and in the streets,
along the highways and the hedges
and let us all, from Virginia to the
Rio Graz d pledge hand to hand, land
stand shoulder to shoulder for the
protection of our great staple crop
and the maintenance of such prices
as truly represent its intrinsic value
to the growers and to the consuming
xvor1d ,,

COULD MOT DO BETTER.

Perhaps no man in the United
States has filled a larger place in
the public mind since the eighth of
July than Governor R. B. Glenn.
The manner in which he has handled
the railroad passenger rate fight in
this State has brought him real and
we'll deserved fame at home and
abroad. The time may never come
when a Southern man will be made
President Of these United States, or,
for aught we know, the occasion is al
ready upon us when the Democratic
party may wisely and appropriately
name Son thern man for that posi-
ton. The Springfield Republican
pays our beloved Governor a high
compliment in the following obser-
walton with which the entire South
will heartily agree:
eff State rights are going to fig
ure in the next Democratic cam
paign, Governor Glenn, of North Car
DINA, must evidently be considered
for the nomination rather than Gov
ernor Johnson, of Minnesota. Both
States have lately been put under
Federal government by injunction
but the reception given to It in North
Carolina differs widely from that
rendered in Minnesota. Yet the pop,
ular feeling of resentment seems tc
be about as strong in the Northern
as in the Southern States"

President Moore Is Encouraged.
The Commonwealth:

The Commonwealth:
Since June LIST, | have presented
the Notwithstanding plan in Union,
Robson, Bladen, New Hanover, Har-
nett, Johnston, and Wake counties.
At fourteen places, COMMITTEES are
now soliciting subscription to stock
for warehouses.
Four places have bought lots on
which to build the warehouses.
In communities where a few live
men have kept in touch with the
Cotton Association, it is not difficult
to organize warehouse companies.
1t is surprising to find some COM
munities where the intelligent men
do not know of the great work of
the Cotton Associa ton, there it
takes much explaining and repeating
of history to get their eyes open, but
the eyes of lots Of men are getting
open.
Another surprise is to find so many
men who do not know the price of
cotton. They notice the newspaper
quotations at about IL to Is IL
cents, but do not know that mills are
paying IA to ii 1-2 cents and glad to
get cotton at these prices.
O my people, how long will you
blunder along uniformed?
But it is encouraging to note the
growing interest in the Cotton Asso-
citation, the outlook is brighter than
at this time last year.
On August 18th a meeting OF
the North Carolina Cotton Associa.
ton will be held at the A. & M
College at Raleigh. l earnestly de.
sire large attendance from every
county. Railroads will sell tickets
at reduced prices, and we will have
an interesting program.

THE RAILROADS SURRENDER.

A conference in the Governors
Office in Raleigh between Governor
Glenn and the general counsel for
the Southern Railway and the At

suited in the surrender of the rail-
roads. They finally consented to

rate into effect not later than Au-
gust 8, 1907.

ing parties in Asheville on writ of
habea.s corpus.
8. The Southern Rally ' appeal
to the Supreme Court r.; North
Carolina in the Wake county case,
and if the case is there decided
against it to take the case by writ of
error to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
d. That both sides cooperate to
have both Of said cases advanced and
argued together and speedily deter
mined.
5. The State at it's option to in
dict the Atlantic Coast Line in one
case.
6. All indictments and prosecu-
tons now pending to be dismissed
and no other indictments or prose.
cutions to be instituted for any al
legged violation Of the law, up to the
time the new 2 IA cent rate is put
into effect under this arrangement
as far as the Governor can control
the same.
2. The Governor advise all PEG
pie against bringing any penalty
suits pending final determination Of
the questions involved and ask the
people as a whole to acquiesce ir
this arrangement.
8. The suit pending before Judge
Pritchard to be diligently prosecuted
without the State, however, waiv

The price of spool cotton having
gone to ten cents it is in order ter
farmers to ask and expect a good
rise in the price of cotton. If the
price Of cotton should advance IN
proportion with the price of spool
cotton farmers could see better
times soon and could come much
nearer realizing the true value OF
their product.
