v other line of endeavor? I an

in any other line of endeayorf l am willing also to admit that we should read. study and plan to better the out put of our dairies and that we should work together to this end. but is 1t a good plan 4 for dairymen to appear as expert witnesses against onesanother and to make serious general charges in tho public press against each other which they cannot substantiate? No one'would be more pleased to see model dairy at the State Fair. anywhere else than I would be and I stand ready to render any reasonable assistance, financial or otherwise to further such a plan, but I will not be put in the position of con stantly criticising my fellow dairymen or running down" the reputation of the milk supply of our city in a general or particular way when such charges are unwarranted, hurtful and cannot possibly be proven.

 The state here is doing a good work for its unfortunates, indeed, and Is en- deavoring in some measure to make up to the blind unfortunates their loss by giving them an opportunity to not only earn a living, but to get great deal out of life The Master gave sight to the blind by touching the sightless eyes. We, of course, cannot do this, but Greater works than these shall ye do." We can educate them and send them out Into the world to bless and be blessed. The gloomy darkness in which these unfortunates have lived is rendered less gloomy and life is made to mean more to them.

 The New York World says 'Du Bar ry was given sumptuous revival at the Lincoln Square theatre last night by Edna May Spooner and proved the most pre- tentious offering that the star has es- saved during her successful engagement there Miss spooner cleverly played the leading role. Her rendition was vibrant with emotion, fire and passion"
 The New York Morning Telegraph says: "Of the many successes which Edna May spooner and her company have scored since coming to Manhattan none was more pronounced than that of last night when Du Barry was presented at the Lincoln Square. Miss spooner in the title role pleased large audience. She worked out her own ideas to a nicety and gave a most clever interpretation"

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT.
SO Say Travelling Men as to General
Business Conditions.

Last fall said a travelling man to-
day from Chicago, 1--WE heard much
about business conditions improving,
but the Improvement was not substan-
tial. There was a disappointment all
around. Since then business in the
North and East has been greatly de-.
pressed. But now there is talk of i'm
,rOvement again. The trade situation
S certainly better than it was two
weeks ago, and the best of it is that
the Improvement this time is substan-
tial.
Recovering from depressed condi-
lions has been slow and halting, but it
s coming now in way that means
steady revival. With fairly good crops
this summer, business will be active
and by the fall | expect to see nign
legree of prosperity. We are surely

DISAPPEARING FISH.

No section will more readily appre-
ciate the wall of the Washington Post
over the disappearing of the fish sup
ply than that around the lower end
Of the Chesapeake bay. It says:
'Shad, that delight of the gourmet,
S doomed to meet the fate which has
)vertaken the dodo and the icthyosau-
rus. From every fishing ground comes
the same tale of small catches, dwin-
ling with each succeeding year. From
the rivers of Florida to the rocky
coast of Maine the greed of man has
combined with lax laws and unscrup-
ulous and shortsighted fishermen to
destroy one Of the greatest sources of
cheap food the world has known If
the slaughter is permitted to continue
for many years as it has during the
decade or so past, the time is not far
off when that gastronomic dream
anown as planked shad will be re-
served exclusively for the tables of
millionaires.

COTTON PLANTING.
Indications Now Point to Planting for
Another Thirteen Million Crop.

Another Thirteen MIilIOn crop.
April is the month in which cotton
seed is put into the ground. Some
seed is planted in March, but outside
of Texas April is the planting month
N the cotton fields. Too little rain in
Texas and too much rain outside of
Texas rendered March planting this
year difficult if not impossible. and
the present month will, therefore, be
utilized to the fullest possible extent
IN planting cotton with some inciden-
tai planting of corn. Thus far it can
not be said that the starting of the
new crop has been favorable, but the
present weather is enabling the farm
ers to hurry on preparations foc plant
ing and the planting itself.
The sales of fertilizer tags in this
State point to preparations for another
$4,000, ,000-bale crop, but the outcome
depends upon the weather of the next
seven months. All that can be said al
present is that the farmers are plant
ing freely for large crop, and the
seed will probably be put in the
ground this month, for the weather is
now highly favorable.
The world needs a crop of 13 900 ,00(
bales grown in this country, and i
will be fortunate indeed if it gets {
crop of that size, for the pranks o
the weather clerk are to be takel
| into consideration.

HOW TO GROW FAT.
4 Lazy Stomach the Cause of Thinness
Nine Times i'm Ten.

If you are thin or lean, have scraw-
ney arms and neck, you can't grow fat
unless your food properly digests.
People take on flesh in proportion
to the nutritious matter which the or
gans of digestion absorb and pass into
the blood.
Just as long as the nutritious mat
ter passes along without being alb
sorbed, just so long will you remain
thin.
Perhaps your stomach, bowels and
liver need a tonic. If your digestion is
not perfect, Mi-o-na tabelts will put it

Letter From the War Department
in Regard to Army Mdneu-

This Summer.

Raleigh, N. c., April 14.-A letter
Just received at the North Carolina
National Guard headquarters here
from the War Department at Washing
ton indicates that within couple OF
weeks something definite will be
known as to the assembling OF the
companies composing the Coast Artll-
lery at Fort CasWell for ten days this
summer for practice in coast defense.
1t would seem that this practice will
certainly be held, although there is
nothing definite as yet as to whether OF
not the regiments of infantry will
have their usual encampment at More
head Salisbury, Wilmington, New
Bern and Greensboro companies con-
stitute the Coast Artillery. AS to the
encampment of the regiments of in
fantry this summer there is ques-
tion of whether or not there will be
funds available for both an encamp-
ment at Morehead and for providing
the full complement of equipment at
Morehead and for providing the full
complement of equipment that is nee
essary for the Guard to have in hano
by January, 1910. This must under
the Dick act measure squarely up to
the regular army. Acknowledgement
Armfield and others Of the high Off
cials of the Guard feel reasonably sure
that there will be enough funds this
year for both the equipment and fol
the encampment, but there is a possi-
bility that there may not. Much de-
pends on the report Of the inspection
of the companies of the Guard now in
progress by an army officer. This re
port Will show just what additional
equipment must be provided this year
Then with this information at hano
the officers of the Guard will be able
to determine at once whether an en-
campment is possible or not. This
inspection will be over and the report
in before a great while now.
