"GooBERs'' A GREAT CROP.
Growing Peanuts a Big Industry-North
Carolina the Leader.

Seven million bushels Of peanuts consumed
annually by the people in the cities OF America,
and the largest profit from the crop goes to the
farmers of North Carolina. this state outrankins
all others in peanut acreage and production, says
THE Raleigh News and Observer" The palatable-
ness of the peanut has caused its spread, and Ii
has high commercial value luxury and as q
food Originally the food value OF the "goOber"
was known chiefly to the slave dealer before the
Civil War, but to-day it is celebrated not only by
the circus crowd and theatre gallery complement,
but universally is 4 favorite nut Its uses are
multtudinous. and the culture of this crop brings
handsome returns TO the grower.

Peanut Culture says in part: The peanut Is a
native of Brazil, although authorities nave en-

sphere. 1t known 10 planters OF the old coun-

and planted them on their own farms. From this

French cotton growers have succeeded in ra'Fing
a cotton of very long fibre In the Mekong Val
ley, in Indo-China, but the cost is from 10 to 20
per cent higher than cotton Of somewhat inferior
grade that is grown in India The French
Mekong Valley cotton is purchased almost ex-
clusively by the Japanese. The value of the
Mekong cotton exported in 1897 2.5SO,0O0
francs. or $4,000.
1t appears that the French protectorat' of
Tunis is by far the most hopeful of the French
colonies just now. The production Of barley.
iron phosphates and olive oil is becoming very
important. The quality of the sfax olive oil Is
fully equal to the best samples from Italy or
France Mr. Ware indicates what lucrative
trade In fresh fruits and early vegetables might
be built up with England. but with singular
want of foresight the French have yet failed

and living quietly on their earnings accumulated
during five or six years Of exile" The result
is that almost all the enterprise that makes the
wealth of French colonial possessions Is the
work OF natives, Italians, Spaniards or, in some
instances, British companies, provided with
British capital. Great efforts were made by the
French government to present the colonies at
the Shepherds Bush Exposition in the most
favorable light in order to attract Frances best
customer, the British public The result was on
the whole fairly satisfactory. The initiative has
been given toward what promises TO be far
better manifestation Of colonial France-the In
ternationaI Colonial Exposition that is to pe
held at Algiers in 1912.
A summary glance at Lewis Wares EXHAUST
i've report of 450 pages brstling with figures and
statistics. from which are deduced promising
future results shows that the success and pros
perity OF the colonies prospective rather than
actual France has expended enormous sums
upon Algeria, which for three years has had its
own budget but which would become bankrupt
II suddenly called upon to pay back with ac-
curnulated interest the capital lent by the
mother country The same is true of almost all
the other colonies.
An interesting feature is the attempt to grow
cotton and thus compete in Europe with the
United States and Egypt Although cotton
grown In Algeria was exhibited in Paris as long
ago as 1850 it remains yet merely In the ex-
perimental stage. Cotton growing in the West
African possessions has been more favorable,
especially in Central Nigeria and Dahomey.
where cotton was experimental with in 1903.
The British Cotton Growing Association four
years ago established plantations and cotton
gins in Central Nigeria. where cotton OF the
Egyptian species failed and where the United
States varieties thrived. The Nigeria planta-
tions are however. insignificant when COM
pared with the large plantations Of America or
Egypt During the year 1907 the quantity of
cotton exported from Central Nigeria was I1OO.-
600 Kilograms. and its value was 21000Uo
francs. Mr.. Ware, however, states that II may
be accepted as certain that the Central Nigerian
and Dahomey cotton crops will continue TO in
crease in such rapid proportions that they must
eventually compete in Europe with the products
of the United States and Egypt 1t is the
'Mississippi" and Excelsior grades which
thrive best in Nigeria, and under the care of the
cotton association all other species have been
destroyed so as TO enable the two AmoItsan
kinds 10 attain the best development. Tho

THE FRENCH COLONIES
Their Condition Clearly Set Forth
by american Engineer.

Paris, July u.
The condition Of the French colonies has never
before been so clearly set forth as in the report
upon the French colonial section OF the Franco
Britannia Exhibition OF 1908, just completed by
Lewis Ware OF Philadelphia, civil engineer, who
was appointed by the French government presi-
dent of the Technical Council of the Colonial
Department.
France has acquired magnificent colonies. but
the French race seems to lack the genius and
special aptitude for successful colonization
The tourist landing in new French colony is
attracted first by the palatial residence OF the
Governor. the comfortable quarters OF the
numerous officials, the monopolies of tobacco
and OF matches and luxurious and we'll fire.

become government functionaries, and those few
who start out upon their own individual initia-
tive do so only with the idea OF returning home

stroyer that 1t penetrates every fold

Of the nose and throat. And 1t kills
the catarrh germs because 1t gets
where they are.
Hyomei is pleasant to use, 1t is
made from concentrated extract of
pine and eucalyptus taken from trees
in inland Australia where catarrh
was never known.
Breathe in this pleasant, healing yet
germ killing air you'll like to use Hy-

haler that comes with each outfit and
relief will come quickly.
Hyomei is guaranteed by Wilkinson
& Co. to cure catarrh or money back /;
1t gives most wonderful relief to CON
suraptives. A complete outfit which
includes an inhaler, a bottle of Hy-
omei and simple instructions for use
costs $1.00, and extra bottles IL after
ward needed costs SO cents. Leading
druggists everywhere sell Hyomei.

Brown is returning contracts to tn.
players ne had signed for the coming
season
The salary limit is too high is the
only light Mr.. Brown would throw

1t is supposed that several of the

The withdrawal of the Kellogg Birge
team leaves the league with but five
clubs for the coming season and put
a number of fast players on the mar

The action of the firm comes as g

Yes: dear reader, catarrh can be
cured; but not by pouring vile drugs
into the stomach.
You've got to kill the catarrh
germs; that's all there is to it. before
you can cure catarrh.
And catarrh germs thrive, flourish
and multiply in the miner recesses OF
the nose and throat.
Can you kill these tough and persis-
ent little health destroyers by swal-
lowing pills or nostrum. It's joke
and those that would appreciate tle
joke most would be the same little
devilish germs II they only knew what
you were trying TO do.
