'The largest yields per acre are

groes, but in the Atlantic State
where intelligent cultivation and fer
tilization has resulted in large yields,
in many cases as much as five hun

asmuch as one thousand pounds of
lint yer acre, and occasionally as
much as one thousand two hundred
pounds per acre, and in rare instan-
ces as much as two thousand pounds

Glenn Again.
lond Evening News-Leader.

Richmond Evening News-Leader.
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina,
must find the lecture business Ian
gushing and in need of advertise
ment, for he has worked his way back
into the newspapers by the familiar
plan of wholesale and violent denun-
citation of the morals and social con-
ditiOns of communities At a Chau-
tauqua lecture in New York state the
other night he declared that if he
should undertake to tell the things he
had seen in New York and Chicago
the men in the audience would tear
him from the platform and trample
him under foot; that the two cities
were the chief disgraces of the country
and that if they did not amend their
ways they would merit destruction.
We do not believe it at all likely
that the men in the audience before
which the former governor was talk
ing would have torn him from the
platform and trampled him under
foot in any circumstances, no matter
what he might have said. They
might have had him arrested for US
ing bad language, but folks up that
way usually are peaceeable and law
abiding, not much given to tearing
and trampling. And we have not much
idea that New York and Chicago, or
either, will be destroyed because of
their wickedness. Such measure
would be rather drastic and difficult
even for the most rigid North Caro-
lima moralist under Governor Glenn's
leadership to undertake.; and the
Supreme Authority promised that ten
righteous men in wicked cities might
avert from them doom and extinc-
ton. Surely Chicago and New York
each has more than that number of
inhabitants who might pass muster
even by Governor Glenn's standards.
Also, we have no doubt that both in
New York and Chicago there are
thousands of people who live through
years without seeing anything they
could not describe on penalty of be-
ing torn from platforms and trampled
1t is certain that the ordinary citizen
may walk Broadway at all hours of
the day or night without seeing any
thing to offend his sense of decency
or to tempt him to crime. 1t sequally
certain that people who go shifting
and prying about in search of filth
will find it anywhere and everywhere
on this globe where mankind has a
dwelling place. The pure in heart
are not frequently offended.
Violence, vituperation, general as
saults on masses of people, and loose
assertions rarely do any good. They
may cause sensations aud win adver-
tisements, but they do not attract

Heokworm Disease.
Monroe Journal


When DR.. Stiles discovered the
hookworn, which saps the vitality OF
its victims, causing them to become
languid, listless and no account, the
wits dubbed it the germ OF laziness,
and many people got the idea that
the disease was more or less fanciful.
Not so. 1t is terrible infection and
its victims. embracing large num-
bers in certain sections OF the South,
never knew what was the matter
with them. The disease is old enough
but no one ever understood it before
DIR. Stiles made his exhaustive study
and discoveries. The hookworm is
literally a worm. The egg from which
it comes is spread in excrement
from the human body and makes its
way up from the feet. Hence the
people from the low sandy regions
who 60 barefoot much of the time
are particularly susceptible to it. Its
entrance into the feet causes ground
itch," which is so prevalent in the
low sandy sections. The worm
fastens himself upon the intestines
and vitiates the whole system. 4
| cotton mill at Greenville, s. c., has
employed a regular physician TO
stamp out the disease among its EN-
ployees.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'

Gus diseases. They have been
cured in SO many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem

get of its merits is to write tc

Bob Womack discovers gold on
Cripple Creek, Col, January, 1901.
After years of prospecting, picks
up piece of fat rock which assays
$3.50 to the ton. Soon after uncov-
ers a bonanza vein.
"Goes on a toot" at Colorado
Springs; tells the locality of his find.
Gold hunters rush to it and locate
the best claims. Womack's claims
do not pan out. He has to work for
days wages.
Since then gold worth $2So,O00
600 has been taken from mines in
the immediate vicinity.
Now Womack lies paralytic, de.
pendent on his sister.
The above are the brief facts, but
enough to fill a volume in its full
analysis, of what a single spree
meant for one man. Hardly a spree
that is entered upon, but it's results
will furnish text, for e sermon, GER
tainly point a moral. In the western
part OF North Carolina, a few days
ago, the results of a spree were, one
man dead, one seriously wounded,
one held for murder. And back OF all
these is the effect upon relatives and
friends and upon society, for sprees
as rule are far reaching in their de-
moralizing effects.
In the case of the Colorado miner
the loss was largely pecuniary one,
perhaps it was better that Womack
went on that spree, and let other
men reap the profits, for by his
actions he was evidently not of a
mind to stand prosperity, and he
would have been incapable of realiz-
ing in any proportionate part upon
the immense bozanza that he was
first to discover. But the fact re-
mains that sprees are costly, in every
particular There is no fun in them,
but surely grief and sorrow, general
ly worse, to follow

Oklahoma Smashes the Technically

Freak and erratic laws may issue
from the "baby state" of Oklahoma
in a degree to terrify the judicious
brethren of the East, but in one re-
spect, at least, the new common
wealth has set an inspiring example
to her older sisters.
The criminal court of appeals OF
Oklahoma recently handed down the
dictum that, thenceforth, "no case
will be reversed merely upon Il show
ing of harmless error in the trial"
This prOnOuncement was promul-
gated in the instance Of the attempt
of the attorney of a wife murderer to
secure new trial upon an absolute
ly technical plea.
In affirming the decision of the low
er court, the appellate court declared
that "the reversal of just convictions
of the guilty upon purely technical
questions is the prime cause of want
of confidence in the courts This
want OF confidence often results in
mob violence on the part of n long
suffering and outraged public

North Cardinals natural resources
in water power, minerals, timber and
agricultural products place her in a
position second to none in the effort
to put the South in the front rank
of the manufacturing world.
The only requisite for the attain
ment OF this position is the instilling
in the minds of all our people that it
takes energy and push to accomplish
anything nowadays. We have edu-
cation and brains enough here in the
South and the application OF these
two important attributes to the up
building of the manufacturing in

OF that supremacy which is our nat

be secured in competition with the
