North CaroIina's Giant.

"I'll bet none of you folks
know that the biggest man that
ever lived was born and raised in
North Carolina" said tar heel
at the Hoffman House the other
night. ellis existence and d.
mensions are vouched for in the
American Encyclopedias says the
New York Press.
His name was Miles Darden.
He was seven feet, six inches high.
and in 1845 weighed 81 pounds.
He was born in North Carolina in
1898 and died in Tennessee, Jam
uary %, 1857. Until 1858 he was
able togo about his work in an
active manner, but his weight in-'
creased so fast that after that
year when he wanted to move
about he had to be hauled in a
two-horse wagon. In 1889 it was
chronicled that his coat was but
toned around three men each
weighing more than 200 pounds,
who walked together down the
streets of Lexington, N. G. At
his death he is said to have Weigh
ed net less than 1000 pounds.
His coffin was 8 feet long, S5inches
deep, 32 inches across the breast,
18 across the head, and IA across
the feet. These measurements
we're taken at the time and are
matters of historical rec rd -

BOYCOTTING UNLAWFUL.
Important Decisions Affecting LabokUnions
by the Supreme Court.

The United States Supreme
Court has filed another decision
of Importance bearing on labor
union affairs. 1t was in case
appealed from Kentucky and was
in effect that corporations engag-
ed in Interstate commerce cannot
be restrained from discharging
employees because they are mem-
bers of labor unions, nor from
discriminating against them for
the same reason. Section 10 of
what is known as. the "arbitra-
tlon act' prohibits such discrimi-
nation and is indeed, the most
important section of that act of
Congress. The court did not deal
with the other sections of the act.
The case came up on an appeal,
affecting the discharge of an en-
'ploye Of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Company by the
master mechanic of the road.
Justice Harlan read the opinion
Of the court. He held in sum-
ming up that there is no con-
nection between Interstate car
riers and labor organizations as
to make it crime for the carriers
to discharge and employ or re-
fuse to employ him on the ground
that he belongs toa labor union.
Charlotte Chronicle.
According to a Washington dis
patch of February 3rd, another
verdict rendered was in the case
of Lawlor VS.. Loewe, the former a
member of the Hatters' Union
and the latter hat manufacturer
Of Danbury, Conn. The case in
volved the applicability Of the
seventh section of the Sherman
antitrust law to conspiracies by
labor unions to boycott articles
entering into Interstate trade.
Under the terms of that provi-
sion the complaining party may
collect three times amount of his
loss if the charge is sustained.
The union fought the case on the
ground that the law inapplicable
to such organization but the
court, whose opinion was an
nouuced by Chief Justice Fuller,
failed to accept this view and in
effect held that the unions could
not be permitted to interfere by
boycott with the free exchange
of commerce between the States.
There was no dissenting opinion.

GREATEST LUMBER CUT.
Some Steps Should be Taken to Prevent
The Depletion Of The Supply.

More lumber was cut in the Uni.
ted States last year than in any
other year in it's history The
enormous Nmount of 1850. 73e
board feet was produced, and the
mill value of this was 1921, 151,-
1888. In addition, there were pro-
'duced 1858, 100000 shingles,
valued at $24, 1855, ,h55, and 3,812,-
S07, 900 lath, valued at $11 ,490,-
$40. On the whole, it is safe to
say that the present annual lum-
Der cut of the United States ap-
pr r5ximates 40 billion feet. and
the total mill value Of tho lum-
Der, lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than $780,
100000. These figures give some
idea of how vast is the lumber in
dustry and how great is the de-
mand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the 9TH
er the greatest hardwood which
the forest has ever grown. Since
1889 the cut of white pine has
fallen off more than 40 per cent,
while that of white oak has fallen
off more than SO per cent. Today
yellow pine leads all other woods
in amount cut, while Douglas fir
and this will be a surprise to
many-comes second. Since 1899
the cut of Douglas fir has increas-
ed 1856 per cent. Louisiana is the
foremost yellow pine State, with
Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas
following in order. Washington
produces by far the greatest
amount of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber
producing States shows that since
1899 there have been many chang.
es in their relative rank. Wash
ington. which in 1899 stood sixth.
now leads, while Wisconsin, which
eight years ag1>,,1.sa all Others, is
now -ahird u the I1ssne period
Oregon, Louisiana, Missis1Spi,
Idaho, and California made great
strides as lumber-pEoducing States
though, on the other hand, the
amount produced in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Indiana, end Ohio fell off any
where from 20 to 81 per cent.
The hlghest-priced native woods
are walnut, hickory and ash, and
the cheapest are larch and white
fir. From the fact, however, that
since 1899 the average increase in
the price of lumber has been 40
per cent. it Will not be long before
cheap woods are few and far be-
tween.
Figures upon the lumber cut of
the United States in 1906 are con-
tanned in Circular 122 of the For
est Service, which can be had upon

The GRAPE BLACK ROT.
When and How TO Prevent It. Other VaIu
able Bulletins,

- ''S'SuA u OtuVI vUIu
able Bulletins.
This dl~ease prevails in all part
OF North Carolina. In most sec
tlons of the State it Is 80 bad tha,
the grape crop is practically ruin
ed unless the proper measures be
taken to prevent the disease,
The Black rot is easily recogn1z.
ed from the accompanying illus.
tratlon showing its most conspic.
uous characters, blackening, dry.
ing and finally shriveling of the
grapes in the clusters, Often all
of them shrivel and dry in this
way. Though the disease Is sell
dom noticed until the grape is
badly shriveled. it may be seen
earlier as a brown or black spot
on the berry. Before it's appear
ance upon the fruit at all it may
be found as brown spots, one
eighth to one. half an inch in
diameter, on the leaves an twigs.
Very close examination of the
diseased spots on twigs, leaves, or
fruit, reveals the presence of very
small pustules ip great numbers.
These pustules are the fruiting
bodies of the fungus which is the
cause of the black rot, and from
these pustules issue immense num-
bers Of spores which spread the
disease.
This disease can be prevented.
If you aaw black rot on your
grapes last year it will almost Ger.
tainly be there again this yeaf,
unless you take steps to prevent
it. Prevention is simple and sure.
1t consists in spraying your vines
with the Bordeaux mixture, con-
sisting of six pounds of bluestone,
four pounds of lime and fifty gal.
Ions of water. The first applica-
ton, killing the spores that are
wintering on the bark and trellis,
should be made before the buds
open; the second, Immediately
before the blossoms appear; the
third, ,sjust after blossoming; the
fourth and fifth at intervals of
ten to fourteen days thereafter.
The cost of sprayings for an
acre of grapes is about fifteen dol
lars, including material and labor.
The grapes saved will in value far
exceed thisecost.
Now is the time of year to get
your spray pump ready if you
have one; to buy one if mead to;
to prepare for the spraying needed
during the coming spring,
If you need further information
regarding spraying mixtures, how
to prepare them, pumps, where to
buy them, and what crops and
when to spray, write to the North

The BOTTOM OF THE MATTER.
Those Who Thought They Had Hit Bottom
Have Another Think Coming.

Those Who Thought They Had Hit Bottom
i Have Another Think Coming.
The following clipping from the
Charlotte Chronicle and communi-
cations go to show how the advo.
Gates of whiskey take advantage
of every "straw" that may come
within their reach, how good mea
lean unwittingly lend them en-
couragement, and how careful one
should guard his utterances:
Religious papers, as rule preach
widespread prohibition arguing
foc 1t in generalities, IN which of
course they are conscientious. 1t
is not often that a church organ
takes the following view, which IS
quoted from the Presbyterian
Standard:
"The thing this paper is set to
do and is devoting all Of it's ener-
gies in doing Is far bigger and
better thing than advocating pro-
hibition before the legislature or
before the sufragans of the State.
Our work is confined to making
good men. Just in proportion as
we succeed will we have good citi-
zens and good citizens mean good
laws about whiskey, ground peas,
mineral water and every other
thing. Our method is to beseech
men in behalf of Christ to be re-
conciled to God. That is the road
We travel in reforming evils and
maintaining good government.
This sta tement will explain to all
our intelligent and unprejudiced
readers why we do not use our
columns to advocate the enact.
ment of this and that law by ou1
State law makers in assembly,"
This strikes the bottom. Make
good men and women and the pro.
hibition question will take care OF
itself. The old argument that
morals cannot be legislated into
people is correct-it is a poor pol.
icy to drive man to do right
And here is the proof that statu.
tory prohibition is unwise.-Char'
lotte Chronicle.
Ed. PRESBYTERIAN Standard:
Enclosed find a quotation from
your paper by another paper
which is at last in sympathy with
liquor. It Is clipped from a Sails
bury paper which is controlled by
the liquor interests of the town.
I have no doubt that it will be
copied by every liquor organ in
the state, and I am sure that every
rum-se1ler and distiller in the
world will endorse your views on
not interfering in their awful traf-
fc in human souls, How do you
like the fellowship? Christ says,
"woe unto you when all (evil)
men speak we'll of you, for SO did
their fathers to the false pro-
phets." "Come out from among
them and be ye separate, saith the
Lord"

strain being killed wherever found, as
well as the sleep-wrecklng gray.molken

The slaughter continued several
days before housekeepers were ap.
prised OF the cat war, and then there
was a rush to save the survivors. II
was almost too late to be OF any good,
for by that time Shawnee had been
depopulated Of cats, over 500 pelts
were bought by the fur man.
