The Boy and the Cigarette -Alsa, the
Law,

It is against the law in North Car
DINA for any boy under II years of
age to smoke cigarettes. Know
that? So, and what is more, any
person who gives the boy a ciga-
rette, or cigarette tobacco, as well
as any one who sells the same to a
boy, can be fined for the offense.
Still further, the law requires the
officers of the law-"every police
officer in the State Of North Carroll
na," it reads-to ask the boy caught
smoking to tell where he got the cl-
garette, ard on being told, to forth
with issue a warrant for the arrest
of the party so offending. If the
boy refuses to tell, he shall be haul
ed up before a magistrate, mayor or
recorder, as the case may be, and
tried for a misdemeanor. The old
cigarette law was amended in this
stringent manner. Of court no at
tention is going to be paid to it.
The streets of Charlotte are filled
with urchin-smoking cigarette fiends
every day and the enforcement of
this law would paralyze the delivery
service cf the whole town, and might
even break US some of the Sunday
schools. But all the same, the pa
rent who is worried by his boy
smoking cigarettes has it in his pow
er to give painful trouble to both
the boy and the one who gives or
sells him the cigarettes.-Charlotte

Crop Eoving Money Ready.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has just completed his plans for
placing $50, 100000 in the south and
the west with which to aid the farm
ers in the moving of their crops.
This has proven to be one of the
most popular moves ever made Ey
the government at Washington and
so pleased were the President and
Secretary McAdoo at the prompt
response at this offer, that Mr.. Nc
Adoo has announced if $50, 900, 600
is not enough with which to move
the crops the treasury stands ready
to double the amount if necessary.
This act on the part of President
Wilson and Secretary of the Treas
ury has had an electrical effect in
aiding business in all parts OF the
country, by easing the money mar
ket, and the business men are expe-
riencing prosperity of a very salts
factory character. AS soon as the
tariff bill is out of the way there is
no doubt whatever that wave after
wave of the most solid prosperity
will sweep over the entire country.

At The Stale Farm.

Mr.. H. B. Warner, chairman of
the State prison board, made in
spection of the State farm in Hall
fax county last week, and he was
very much pleased with what he
saw. In his paper, the Lexington
Dispatch, he says:
''This farm contains 1900 acres,
and it is probably the finest farm in
North Carolina. There are some
thing like 5000 acres in cultivation.
There are nine miles of dykes on the
farm, seven and half miles on the
Roanoke river. These dykes are
built to prevent the river from over
flowing and destroying the crops on
the farm. They are 100 feet at the
base and about 20 feet on top, from
80 to 40 feet high. Sometimes the
rains becomes so heavy and the river
gets so high that it breaks through
the dykes. When it does the crops
are destroyed.
Captain C. N. Christian, a native
Of Stokes county. and Captain G. j..
Rhem, of Eastern North Carolina,
are in charge of this farm. They
are most excellent farmers and they
say that the prospects this year are
the finest they have ever been.
They have 2,4OO acres in corn, which
will produce 1000 bushels; they
have 1900 acres in cotton, which
will produce bale to the acre; $50
acres in peanuts, which will produce
40 to SO bushels to the acre; and 400
acres of cow peas and sofa beans.
There are on the farm 200 head of
cattle; 800 hogs, 240 horses and
mules, 1000 chickens, $50 turkeys
and about $500 pigeons.
There are $50 convicts doing the
work on the farm. Of course, it
takes "a considerable numker of
guards and overseers to look after
these convicts. 1t is little world
all to itself and is very interesting
place to visit. No North Caroliniar
would regret spending the time and
money sufficient to visit this won
derful farm and see these wonder.

A, c. |. EXHIBIT CAR.
Advertising The S0uth'S Agricultural
and Horticultural Resources.

The Atlantic Coast Lines especial
ly equipped exhibit car left VIII
mington Monday night, the 18th.
with one of the very best Southern
exhibits that has ever been sent out
with view to attract settlers to the
Atlantic Coast Line territory. viz:
Virginia, North Carolina. South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama.
The first stop will be the Canadian
National Exposition, which will be
held at Toronto, August Ord to Sep
tember 9th. Then the car will
double back and the exhibit will be
displayed at various fairs in New
York State and the New England
States, until November 1st.
The exhibit consists Of sixty-three
glass jars of fruits and vegetables;
seventeen glass jars of grain. pea
nuts, peas, rice, etc.; fifteen glass
jars of pecan nuts; Georgia and
Florida cane syrup; three large cases
of grain in straw, forage grasses,
tobacco, corn; peanuts and miscel-
laneous products; grape fruit, pine
apples, watermelons. sugar cane;
twenty small bales of different kinds
Of hay grown in the South; cocoa
nuts; small bale Of cotton; cotton
on the stalk; sweet potatoes; corn
on the stalk, showing the prolific
varieties with four to six ears to
the stalk.
A great deal Of time was consum-
ed in getting the very best products
grown in the South in preparing and
putting up this exhibit in an at.
tractive manner.
A fact which the Southern farmer
should be proud Of is that this ex
ceptional exhibit was secured from
regular farms and not single item
from an experimental farm.
In addition to their regular INA
tons Garden Spot" booklet, they
prepared a very handsome bookler
containing twenty-five beautiful ag
ricultural and horticultural view!
along the Atlantic Coast Line, espe
cially for distribution on this trip.
The exhibit is in charge of tw'
experienced men who will take spe
cial pains to explain the exhibit ant
the conditions in the South to al
, visitors.
We think this kind Of advertising
should certainly attract settlers t
this unexcelled country if they cal
be attracted.

Don't Let Baby Suffer With Eczema and Skin

Skin eruptions cause them not only
intense suffering, but hinder their

permanent cure of suffering babies
whose skin eruptions have made
their life miserable. "Our baby was
afflicted with breaking out of the
skin all over the face and scalp.

,o,,se with a eood attendance

house with. a good attendance. The
first part of the afternoon was taken
up with reports of the committees,
which were somewhat incomplete, as
the work of inspection has not been
completed. The matter of having
clothing stores close OF Saturday aft
ernoon at 1 o'clock during July and
August was reported upon by he
committee and all of the stores said
they would close if the rest would
consent to do the anne, except two,
who remained firm in their arrange
of keeping open until 1890 Sat
urday night. The ladies are not dis
couraged for they hope that by next
enough sentiment will have been
worked up to make this arrangement
possible so that the clerks will be Civ
en- somewhat of a rest during n two
hot months.
Mr.. Emery, president Of the city
commission, gave a talk on how tne
ladies could help the commission n
on the disposal of garbage and the
central market, three subjects upon
which Mr.. Emery spoke straightfor-
wardly and to the point and his ad-
vice and information was greatly APP
p~reciated.
He said that the commission would
be very glad of the cooperation OF
the league in making Fargo a better
city and he explained some of the
difficulties encountered in the dispos-
all of garbage in some parts of the
city. He talked on sanitation and
public health as it is in relation to
the city and referred to some of the
