The Missing Link.

A lawyer having Offices in a Phila-
delphia building wherein there are
some hundreds of tenants recently
lost a cuff link, one of pair that he
greatly priced.
Being absolutely certain that he
had dropped the link somewhere in
the building, he caused a notice to be
posted in the following terms:
"Lost. A gold cuff link. The own
er, William Ward, will deeply appre-
ciate it's immediate return"
That afternoon on passing the door
whereon this notice was posted, what
were the felings of the lawyer to OBJ
serve that appended thereto were
these lines:
"The finder of the missing cuff link
would deem it great favor If the
owner would kindly lose the other
link" ."-Harper's Weekly. -.

WILL HOLD PRODUCT.
Southern Soft Yarn Spinners Place
Upset Price at 1917 Cents.

Charlotte, N. c., Jan. 16.-To hold
their products for 16a cents on a
basis of No. los, while cotton is SELL
ing in New York at 9k cents a
pound, was the determination reach
ed to-day at the annual meeting OF
the Southern Soft Yarn Spinners' AS
sociation. This action was taken
through a resolution, which received
unanimous Endorsement, and means
that the policy of hand-to-mouth op-
Grafton, in vogue for several months,
will be discontinued. This action fol-
lows the determined efforts made at
the previous meetings to bring up
the market through curtailment and
it is conceded that efforts at curtail-
ment have been successful, a poll
taken to-day showing that there is
practically no yarn on hand and that
the mills are pretty well sold up for
three to six months to come.
Reports on all sides indicated more
satisfactory business conditions IN
soft yarns and the members are dis
tinctly encouraged. The following Of
ficers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President, J. P. NcRae, Laurin-
burg, N. c.; first vice president, ]. F.
Taylor, Kinston, N. c.; second vice
president, J. F. Cannon, Concord, N.
c.: secretary and treasurer, Robert
Chapman, McColl, S. c. More than
321,000 spindles were represented at

YOUNG MAN KILLS HIS UNCLE.
P. G.. Donald, of Vienna, Ga, Claims
that he Shot in Self-Defense.

Vienna, Ca, Jan. 17.-P. G. Nc
Donald, farmer, merchant and gen.
eral trader, and one of the most
widely known men in Dooly county,
was shot and instantly killed this
evening at $50 o'clock by w. The,c-
dore Mcdonald, his nephew. Young
Mcdonald surrendered Immediately
to the sheriff and was lodged in the
Dooly county jail. He refused to
make statement regarding the
shooting of his uncle further than to
state that the killing was done in
self-defense.
The origin of the trouble which
terminated tonight in the killing was
a disagreement over some business
affair, which began week ago. W.
T. Mcdonald was a clerk in his
uncle's store here. He also lived
with his uncle and up to a few days
ago, there was no intimation that the
men were not on friendly terms. The
shooting occurred in room in the
Mcdonald home. Mrs. P. G. McDon-
aid, two daughters, and young son
were in the house when the tragedy
was enacted.

up with an ordinary corn cob. The
farmer was fairly well known by the
corps of clerks in the Office and they
began "guying' him about the jug,
asking him if it contained anything
good, etc. The farmer received their
staunts jokingly and in good humor,
but finally surprised the young bank
saspirants by asking for the cashier
calling the cashier by his christian
name, as if he had known and played
with him since early childhood. The
cashier came forward, and the farm
er planted his little brown jug on the
money counter. The cashier was
about to demonstrate against such
bold offer to taking nip" when
the farmer remarked that he had
brought something good in the jug,
and If he (the cashier) could get it
sout without breaking the jug he
would leave it (the contents) with
him for some time. The cashier
pulled out the corn cob, and protrud-

persons, residents of the mill dis

For the last two months econo-

Uncle Sam Urges Campaign on Rodents

However valuable cats may be as
mousers, few of them learn to catch
rats. The ordinary house cat is too
well fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture of any animal
as formidable as the brown rat. Birds
are much more to its liking
Rats have developed so much intel.
ligence and such extraordinary caution
that attempts to exterminate them
have rerely succeeded. The failures
have been due not so much to a lack
of effective methods as a lack of Ger.
tain precautions and absence of con.
certed action"
The department in bulletin empha,
sizes the Importance of rat clubs and
suggests that interest in organized rat
hunts may be stimulated by Offering
prizes or rewards in various commu-
mites to the individual hauling forth
the greatest number of dead rats after
one of the crusades.
Pamphlets dealing with the rodent
problem and suggestive of ways in
which the rat may be eventually rout-
ed from its haunts have been scat
tered broadcast among the farms and
villages all over the United States,
and the department expects to make
its campaign in this direction one of
thoroushness.
