The wind velocity was at no time
less than seventy miles an hour,
and there were squalls at inter
walls which were gauged at 100
L,iles an hour.

The marriage of Miss Daisie

The design of the church de-
corations was very elaborate and
most artistic, palms, ferns and
ivy, with myriads of candles fur
nishing the ma erial which trans
formed the interior of the church
into fairy scene. In front of
the altar was slender arch.
from which was suspended u
double heart. Under this the
bridal couple and the officiating
minister, the Rev. E. 0. Wat
son, stood. Amid huge pyra-
mid of palms and ferns at the
rear Of fhe altar was concealed
the organ, on which Miss Julia
Power accompanied her sister,
Mrs. Malcolm G. Woods, as she
sang during the ceremony, the
sweet old song, go, Promise
Me-"
The Rev. Mr., Parker presided
at the pipe organ in the gallery,
and at the approach of the bridal
party, played Mendelssohn's
wedding march. After the ush-

meeting OF the North Carolina

"The attendance was splendid;
practically every county in the
Stale growing cotton was repre-

an active part in the meeting.-
Some 25 or 80 warehouses had

patronized.

the Southern Cotton association
is exceedingly fattering. The
North Carolina division is profit

past, and the incoming year Will
see an effort made for the nego-

county for taking care Of the

send delegates to our meeting

is absolutely essential for the
welfare of our organization and
for the welfare of our people
that we solve the problem of how
to make our cotton the basis of
loan, 80 that we .can hold it
without creating too great a
stringency Of money. The old
aim and object, to which we are
bending every effort, is how to
meet the obligations Of those
who ownscotton without forcing
the owner to sell his cotton when
the price is not such as we deem
a proper one. This can only be
done by concert of action locally
thro ugh the warehouse and the
local bank. The ginners' report
ISSUED today, indicates the fnal

The biggest scales in the country
are in the navy yard at Washington.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by fifty tons. The latter are
not To be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as a heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are so ae.
curate that they come within a pound
of the exact weight. Railway scales
are considered good If they come with
in fifty pounds. All the large ord
nance manufactured for the navy is
weighed upon this machine which is
some ten years Old The scales look
like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invisible
the most intricate parts being in a
broad pit below the ground The plat
form is forty-eight feet long and
twelve feet wide. Beneath the power
full machinery is cement base laid
upon long piles. \ solid base being
erful weighing machine. it was found
necessary to use a pile driver to Sc.
cure stable foundation.
The machine is regarded as the fin
est of its kind in the world and is
splendid achievement of American in
genuity. In order to show the ac-
curacy of the scales an official picked
up half brick aud tossed it upon the
platform. lie then consulted long
brass lever and found that the brick
weighed Just one pound
The capacity of the scales is 100
tons. Two twelve-inch guns lying on

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out auG this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an intiamed condition
