Not all buttons and their loops are put on tor
practical purpose, In some cases. they are sewed
in frank fashion in two rows with no suspicion
of loop. Again, the fastening is invisible. the
closing being made under hooks and eyes ~
Where the buttons are small number are used
and placed quite close on both sides. Larger but
tons are more sparingly used. Placed in straight
line or several in little groups. Both selt-coverea
and ornamental buttons will be employed And
my advice to women is to pick up bargains IN out-
tons for trimmings when they see them.
Lines of buttons likewise featured IN the
back, but not to the same extent IN front, be-
cause they are likely to come off readily.
The first model shows the sparing manner IN
which large buttons are introduced The gown Is

failure of the food proposition.
The nurse is usually to blame when the patient
will not take enough food She will bring huge
plateful of jelly or a big basinful of beef tea to
him, and he will reject it with disgust because the
sight of so much food is dstasteful If she brought
a few spoonfuls at time and served them daintiy

Give little food at time and give It often That
which is eaten willingly and with relish is far bet

II time is fixed for the patients meals, always
be punctual If kept waiting, most sick people lose
their desire to eat and will reject the tood when
it is brought to them.
Be careful never TO have food in the sick room
in the hope that the patient may eat it presently.
Miss Florence Nightingale, the worlds most famous
nurse says this will prevent him from taking food
at all So
Never take large quantity of anything at one
time thinking that because the patient had liked it
before he will like it again. In nine cases out Of
ten sick persons appetite is capricious. His
food, therefore, should be varied as much as pos
sible

THE OBSERVER SEES A NEW
LIGHT.
The Charlotte Observer, in an edi-
torial, says:

The Charlotte Observer, in an edi-
torial, says:
The Government has just put
out an estimate of the amount
of gold and silver produced in
this country during the past
year. We have no complaint at
the production; it's the distribu-
ton that occasions such worry"
For a number of years The eau
casian and the Charlotte Observer
have had more or less standing and
continued controversy as to the mer-
it's and dement's of the gold standard,
or in fact, any standard based on
chance or accident. The Caucasian
has always contended that the great
est objection to the gold standard
had been that gold was too scarce,
and that it was foolish and suicidal
for any people or civilization to de-
liberately decide to the evils of scarce
money and falling prices simply be-
cause there was not enough gold &C
cidentally found in the earth to sup
ply enough money for the increase
in population and business. The
Caucasian has contended that the vol
ume of money should be increased
each year with the increase in popu-
lation and in business so as to main
tain the stability of prices. Scarce
money and falling prices cause a man
who owes debt to become bankrupt
by being forced to pay his debt in
more labor and wealth than when
the debt was contracted.
We have contended and still con-
tend that the money question is the
greatest question before our country
and all civilization. We have pointed
out that the men who a number of
years ago, when We had hard times
and falling prices, were advocating
the gold standard were doing it not
because they cared anything for gold
but because they wanted scarce
money, and that all men who wanted
scarce money were men who wanted
to make the dollars which they them
selves already have buy two or three
times as much of the products of the
wealth producer as they should prop
erly buy.

UGLY TRUTH.

II has been very noticeable for sew
eral years that the Democratic ring
politicians and the machine organs
nave gone out OF their way to pat Mr..
Poe, the editor OF The Progressive
Farmer. on the back in most pat
ronizing manner. Indeed, he has
seemed TO be one Of their especial
pets. 1t has been the general opin-
ion that the purpose OF these ring
politicians and machine organs was
TO try to capture Mr.. Poe sc that he
would use mis- paper to support, or at
least not attack, their record OF ex-
travagance and incompetency.
Recently, MIR. Poe, in speech al
the Normal Industrial School at
Greensboro, arraigned the public
school system in North Carolina, by
declaring fatty that the boy and girl
in North Carolina to-day who has to
depend upon the public schools for
an education has only one-half as
good a chance as the boys and girls
of the other States Of the Union on
an average.
This fact is one which the Re-
publicans have been pointing out in
their platforms and campaign speech
es and newspapers for many years.
Mr. Poe's bold declaration support
ing the facts which the Republicans
have repeated a hundred times has
apparently caused considerable cool
ness toward him on the part of his
former Democratic admirers and pat
ronizers. If Mr.. Poe does not modi-
fly his statement or attempt to ex-
plain it away to the satisfaction OF
| these machine Democrats, he may
soon learn what they think of man
who has the courage to tell the
| truth.

Estate RIGHTS" AS A SHELTER
FOR MONOPOLY.

We notice that a number, of Dem
ocratic organs are raising a howl on
account of the recent decision of the
Supreme Court in UNFOLDING the Fed
eral safety appliance law and the
ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to the effect that all cars,
whether used in interstate commerce
or in commerce within the States on
railroads that traverse State lines,
must be so equipped. They are de-
claring with much apparent grief that
it is the end of the fight of the South
to uphold States rights. They are
further declaring that this means
that the power of the States in the
future to regulate railways and to
break up trusts is taken over by the
Federal Government and the reign of
nationalism and centralized govern
ment is firmly established, etc.
Every paper that takes this posi-
ton is either weak in its upper story,
or else that paper knows what it is
talking about, and therefore is acting
as the organ of trusts and monopol-
lists. The American Tobacco Trust
has been in favor of States rights. ;"
They have been opposed to having
the Federal Government enforce the
Sherman antitrust law. They want
the people left to the tender mercies
of Governor Kitchin and his Attor-
ney-General. They seem to have felt
satisfied that they would be protect
ed behind the doctrine of States
rights"
In this connection, it should be re-
membered that the case just decided

THE CRY OF "OVERPRODUCTIO
AND THE "HIGH COST OF LIV-

The Democratic politicians are still
crying "over-production" in one
breath and the high cost of living"
in the next breath. If the Republi-
cans are responsible for the high cost
Of living, who is responsible for the
low price Of cotton? If cotton would
to-day bring $500 bale as it did
last year, the people could afford to
live high and have money left over
to put in bank. To-day, every farm
er is losing over $4,000 on each bale
of cotton.
The politicians are crying cover
production to try to divert the at
tention Of the farmers from the real
truth. If the farmers were receiving
$500 a bale for their cotton, the
high cost of living would give them
but little concern. Indeed, they
could pay the high prices for every
thing they need, and still have more
money left over than ever before.

CONVICTIONS" ABOUT WHAT?

The Daily Record of Rocky
Mount, which poses as one of the
champions and organs of Senator
Simmons, appeals to the Democratic
voters to vote for him in the pri-
maries because ''he is a man of firm
convictions with nerve enough to
stand by them" 1t would be inter-
esting if this Simmons organ could
state any public question on which
Mr.. Simmons has any convictions of
any kind.
Mr.. Simmons was delegate to the
last National Democratic Convention.
He was a member of the Committee
on Platforms in that convention. If
he had any convictions on any public
question before the country at that
time we ought to be able to look
there and see what those convictions
were. We turn to that platform,
which Mr.. Simmons helped to write
and for which he voted, land which
was adopted by a unanimous vote.
and what do We find?
We find that that platform de-
clares fiat-footedly against protec-
ton. 1t declares against protection
in any and all forms. It then de-
clares for revenue tariff. In addi-
ton to these general declarations on
the tariff question, that platform
went further and picked out certain
| articles and declared as to them that
there should be no tariff on them
| either for protection or for revenue.
In short, the members of that
committee, including Senator Sim
mons and the whole convention, de-
| clared squarely and uneuuivocally
/ for free trade as to certain articles.
One of the articles picked out and
held up by Mr.. Simmons and the
committee and the convention on
which there should be no duty of any
kind was lumber Now, if Mr.. Sim
mons ever had any convictions on any
question, it was expressed in this
platform, which he helped to write,
which declared for free lumber.
When this question came up in the
United States Senate Immediately af-
ter the campaign, and Senator Sim
mons found the lumber interests of
the State here with a strong protest
and demanding that the lumber in
terests of the State and the South
should not be sacrificed by free trade.
ne took water and lodged and hedg-
ed and straddled, and at last stood
for the highest rate of duty offered
by those who favored the principle
of protection.
Again, when Mr.. Simmons got into
the last campaign and found that the
declaration of his party for free lum-
Der was very unpopular in North
Carolina, and that it was going to
nurt him and cost his party votes
and probably mean his defeat in the
Democratic primaries next year for
the Senate. he made haste to try to
get his party to reverse its position.
