The cotton demand is becom.
ing more active within the past
few days than it has been for
some time, and prices are tending
to soar; it would not surprise Us
to hear of cotton getting beyond
l6 cents before the new crop is
harvested. The mills are short
of stock, and the demand for
goods is strong. With this con-
dition there is no telling what
the price will ba in the next three
months. We do not suppose there
is much of the staple in the hands
of the growers, it is only here
and there that a small lot Of cot
ton can be found, but those who
are so fortunate as to have it will
he well paid for it.

The sheriff of Lexington is on
the watch for the blind tigers in
bis county, and he has notified
the depot agent that if any
liquor IS delivered to persons
other than to the party to
whom it is addressed, the rail
road will be prosecuted under
the federal laws. He recently
captured five barrels Of beer and
two barrels of whiskey consigned
to persons who had no knoWl-
edge of the shipment, but it is
supposed the beverage was
ordered for a social club. Sheriff
Corley is acting upon the orders
of the governor, who wants all
of the laws enforced.

SMITHS ALL RIGHT.

The writer of ;:Who is Who
and Why" in the Saturday Even.
ing Post IN the last issue damns
our junior Senator with faint
praise. He INDUCES himself in
a fine piece of satire at the ex-
pense Of Senator Smith Of this
State. All the same E. D. Smith
has made good in the legislative
halls of congress, and is serving
his people with a fidelity second
tonone. So far, not one Of his votes
have been questioned, every act
has been in accordance with the
promises of the party platform,
and when he goes before the peo-
pie again, should he have oppo-
sition, which we doubt, he will
be reelected overwhelmingly.
The people recognize his ability
and his loyalty.

The tariff tinkers are at work

The tariff tinkers are at work
in Washington making campaign
material for the politicians: but
in our opinion the country will
see no benefit from it. The lower
House being Democratic and the
Senate Republican the one will
send to the other what it will
not have. The Republican Sen
ate will not accept Democratic
made tariff schedule: nor will a
Democratic House accept a Re-
publican made tariff, and there
you are. the two parties are play
ing shuttle. cock for political ad-
vantage, and the people are be-
ing buncoed right along.

me G1nter Girls.

1.-The Gunter girls of Oiken" are
winning laurels for themselves and
at the same time giving an object les
son to other girls on the farm, and
boys and men, too, for the matter of
that. The Gunter girls are tomato
girls, and it was in South Carolina,
we believe, that the tomato clubs
originated and where they are now
1ourishing. Miss Eunice Gunter, ca
SEVERN, Aiken county, the Columbia
State informs Us, has already put up
668 t~hree-pound cans of tomatoes from
cne-tenth of an acre, and will prob
ably increase the number to 700. That
means two thousand pounds of the
vegetable or at the rate of twenty
thousand pounds to- the acre. The
State thinks that when atSouth Caro-
lima. girl makes such demonstration
of what is practicable ON South Caro-
lima farms, that it is time to stop i'm
porting to the state "by railroads and
steams, for the consumption of South
Carolinians, tens of thousands of cases
of canned tomatoes" And the State
Us right. This whole section ships in
canned tomatoes, carload on top of
carload, when it could and does pro-
duce the finest kind of tomatoes right
at home. 1t ought tc produce a great
deal more of them than it doesn but it
doesn't even take care Of what it does
produce and many bushels go to waste
every year because of lack of home or
local canning industries. What is
made and goes to waste would not
supply the home demand, but it would
help some, If saved. "The Gunter
girls and others like them will have
accomplished a great thing for their
section if they succeed in increasing
the output of tomatoes and increasing
interest in the canning industry, not
only Of tomatoes, but generally.
The other. Miss Gunter, by the way,
is going to Winthrop this year. BY
making a words record in tomato
culture last year, she was given a
scholarship to winthrop and has pass
ed the examination necessary to n
tering the institution. She made a
record in tomatoes, and it is conf

cord in scholarship. 1.-THE Gunter

"BOy. / Believe in You.

Thirty years ago a man put his
hand on the shoulder of a seventeen
year-old boy and said, 'HBoy, l be-
Iieve in you. You've got in you to
make good" The boys father had
just passed away; things we're pretty
cold and confused to the boys mind,
but that evening, after his office
boys duties were ever, he went home
with a lighter heart. Somebody be-
lieved in him and had told him so!
1t was a simple thing, one may say,
but isn't, it, after all, the simple
things that oftimes makes the. great
est impression and carry the most
lasting influence? That boy is now
one of the most successful men in the
country, "and ALL" as he said not
long ago, because that man gave me
heart: gave me courage; made me
feel that somebody believed. in me.
From that 1 worked like a mailer"

perverted notions of fancied short

gulf between the boy of immaturity
and the man of experience. The
right word of encouragement, Of be-
lief, OF confidence, spoken at the right

many a boy. And it can now. There

The Boy and his Opinions.

In n Woman'S Home Companion
for September a writer on F"The Boy
and His Opinions" reports a case thai
contains valuable lessons for both
boys and mothers. my son." a moth.
er said, with, perhaps a note OF
amused irritation in her voice, to the
spruce college-boy, Iwho had question
edNthe wisdom of-one of her actions
"you must understand once for all
that ] do not wish to have you criti-
else me on any subject whatsoever
The lad opened wide his eyes and
asked, do you mean l am never tC
tell you when you do a thing I think
isn't right" II mean just that" re-
piled the mother. "For a number of
years / have conducted my affairs with
tolerable success without the benefit
Of your criticism, and 1 have faith tc
believe / can keep on doing it. OF
course, you will c~riticise me in your
own mind; that is quite natural and
take 1t for granted; but / don't wish
to hear your criticism unless l ask
for it."
OF course the boy did not like it,
but he respected his mother too much
to show any evidence of that fact.
The writer in the Woman's Home
Companion says he admired the moth
or for having given the boy the advice
she did, and gees on to say that no
essential part of teaching a boy to
think for himself is served by permit
ting him to find fault with his parents.
AS the mother said he is likely to
.cr1ticfse mentally the conduct and de-
meanor of his parents, to look down
upon their beliefs and theories and
fatter himself he could manage most
of their affairs far better than they
themselves do.
All this is in a way a part of the
boys training in learning to think
an dact for himself, and the fact that
he will probably discard most of his
experimental theories, which his par
ents had tested and thrown aside in
their younger days, and come around
eventually to the codes CT his father
and mother, does not make the edu-
cational values Of the earlier process
any loss. But there is nc. gain for
him in the public expression of his
adverse opinions, and the self-con-
troll involved in their repression is
good for his soul.
In all their lines, however, encour-
age your children to air their views.
Perhaps this might not be so desira-
bic II they were likely not to be your
views as well as his. But the wan
dering seeds of opinion tt which I
already deferred will grow in
the soil you have cultivated and you
will be able - advise him which are
weeds to be retted\ out, and which are
useful growths to he tended and fos-
tered. Remember that some day your
boys and girls will have to do all their
own thinking.

How to Gain in Weight

In the October Woman's Home
Companion, DR.. Jean Williams, writ
ing in her regular Doctors Page"
tells how thin people can gain
weight. She says, in part:
Cream, butter and oliVe-oil r all
highly valuable and, as a rule or
more-sometimes all-may be liber-
ally used. If we'll tolerated, they
may be take mas follows: Butter
thickly spread on bread at each
meal, or used in gravies, sauces, on
hot cakes, toast, etc., in which form
it is less easily dfgested. Cream is
best taken on cereals an din the form
Of rich milk. When used whipped
with sugar and favoring On rich
deserts, it is difficult tc digest, or,
rather, the combination is. Olive-oil
may be taken directly after each
meal on one hour after. Beginning
with one teaspoonful, the amount
may be gradually increased to one
tablespoonful after each meal. In
addition to this, it may be freely
used in salads.
Cereals, bread, potatoes, etc., are
possibly the most valuable we have
as fesh-makers and they may be
taken, unlike fats and sugar, in gen.
erous quantities. Fats and sugars
r so highly concentrated that a
comparatively small bulk furnishes
many units of heat and energy, and
the body chemistry is soon disorder
ed by more than can be conveniently
handled. Remember, it is not the
quantity we eat that gives results in
energy and flesh, but the ameunt that
assimilated. Too much unassimiIat-
ed food heavily taxes the eliminative
organs, thus producing a condition
that helps tc defeat our object"

Woman Assistant Pastor.

The appointment of a woman as
sistant tc the pastor of a prominent
LEGAL church is an interesting innova-
tion-one intended to fill a long-felt
want The intellectual standard in
the ministry has constantly risen in
response to an insistent demand. The
old-fashioned preacher was a sort of
jack of all trades within the scope CT
his profession and the multiplicity of
his duties left little time for the pre-
~paration of his sermons, upon which
the success of his ministry largely
depended. Fortunately the modest
demands of the old-fashiened congre-
cation in this respect Offset the num-
erous subsidiary calls upon the min
ister's time.
But in these days the preacher who
does not say something really worth
while, and who does not say it every
Sunday, is the preacher with the
small congregation, and the lifting Of
the burdens which compel preachers
to fritte raway SO much time on So
cial calls and bazaars and oyster
suppers and other inconsequential &C
compartments of church life will in
evitably result in the delivery Of SER
mons that ar" more and more worth
while.
For many of the duties a man is
at best poorly fitted and a woman is
by nature best equipped. For this
reason it is both interesting and OPP
perfume to note an innovation which
turns over woman's work to woman
n leaves the men to do mems work.

Dog Carries Stove Wood and Gathers
Apples.

Mr.. George Laxton, of Kings
Creek, has an unusually intelligent
and useful female bird dog which he
has given'the popular name of 'Trix-
lie" The dog has been taught to
carry in stove wood and when told to
do so will procee dto fill the wood box
with the light; prepared wood for the
stover During the summer she also,
of her own accord, took up the work
of picking up apples. There is an
apple tree in the yard near the house
and as the fruit begansto ripen and
fall the members of the family would
go out from time to time as they
heard the apples fall and pick them
up before the chickens got to them.
Trixie watched the performance for
awhile and finally when an apple
would fall and no member of the
family was present to get it she would
get 1t and bring it in the house. She
was of course petted and praised for
her work and now she will attend to
the falling fruit any time. during the
day or night.-Lenoir News.
