Meets his Appointments.

Halifax, N. c., Dec. 9.-The Rev.
A. G.. Wilcox filled his preaching
appointment here last Sunday morn
ing and night and at the county
home in the afternoon. We are glad
to state to his many friends
that though he is still feeble,
by degrees he is getting stronger
and insists or filing his regular ap-
pointments. Perhaps there are
very few in the ministry to-day who
has missed as few regular preaching
days in as long course of ministry as
his. There are few, indeed, WHO
love their fellow man better than
he-a hand shake, fervent, God
bless you, my brother" is ever his
genial greeting. 1t makes you feel
good to come in contact with such a
man. Would that there were more
such men as A. G. Wilcox in the
world to-day. w. F. C.

Fairfax Harrison.

Fairfax Harrison, the new presi-
dent of the Southern Railway, was
closely associated with the late Pres
ident Finley and was one of his ad-
visers, we are told in press dis
patches. This augurs well for the
Southern and the territory it serves,
for Mr.. Finley was the ablest presl-
dent this railroad ever had. Mr..
Harrison has announced that he will
carry out the policies Of the South
ern, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he will succeed.
A southerner himself, native OF
Virginia ugh who's Who
places his birth in New York-a son
of a distinguished Confederate
statesman, with all his sympatlsies
of the south, Mr.. Harrison has a
wonderful opportunity for const'uc-
tive work. His training is such as
to make him, it would appear, pre-
eminently fitted for his duties. He
is scholar. lawyer and railroad
man, and he attained all three dis
tinctions by hard work.
We feel that the south is also for
tunate in the election of Mr.. Harrl-
on.-Raleigh Times.

Death Of q Lille Chill.

Halifax, N. c., Dec. 9.-The death
Of little Mary Mcconnell Marshall,
the nine-months old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry R. Marshall, at their
home on the morning Of December
3rd at 3 o'clock, was peculiarly sad.
The little one had only been i'll few
days. Physicians and nurses were
faithful IN endeavoring to save the
life of the little sufferer.
Little Mary was a bright, inter-
esting and well hammered child for
her age. and had never been i'll to
amount to anything. She had
grown in the affection Of er p
rents ard It as hal - ha to give
her up.
The little one was placed vay the
day following in nice sunny spot IN
the Episcopal cemetery, the Service
being conducted by Rev. L. ".
Blackwelder, of Scotland Neck.
May the One who comforts all sad
hearts console those who weep and
resign each of them to His will.

Statistics to be Displayed at P0stoffICe.

The arrangements made by Hon.
VIM. J. Harris, director Of the CEN
sus, for the wider distribution of
statistics collected by his office con-
corning the quantity Of cotton
ginned, the quantity of cotton con-
sumed monthly, and the stocks Of
cotton on hand at the end of each
month, has met with general ap-
prevail throughout the cotton-grow-
ing States.
He has received numerous sug-
gestions concerning a still wider dis
tribution of these statistics, and he
has made arrangements with the
postmaster general to allow the
postmasters in every postoffice in
counties where cotton is grown to
post in conspicuous place copies of
the reports containing statistics of
cotton. These copies will be print
ed on extra large cards, 50 the fig
ures can be easily read. Mr.. Harris
hopes that in this manner he will be
able to give the farmers, and all
others, access to the valuable sta
tistics collected by this bureau.
Heretofore the reports have been
given by the bureau of the census to
newspaper representatives and to
the different telegraph companies
for distribution. Following this dis
tribution copies of the reports have
bern mailed to the ginners, manu-
facturers, and warehouse men, but
there has been no practical method
devised for the distribution of the
information directly to the farmers.
1t is Mr.. Harris purpose to give the
statistics to the farmers so they can
take advantage of the information
collected by the federal government.

THE CONTEST A FAILURE.

The question is often asked us as
to whether our recent contest was a
success or a failure, and since we
have not made a public statement
we wish to do so now The contest
was a failure so far as our interests
are conce, ned, but a mighty good
thing for the Unired Contest Com
pany, of Cleveland, Ohio, and also
for the young man sent here by the
company to manage and run the
contest. Any other newspaper that
runs one in the same way we did
will likely finish with the same re-
sult-a failure.
The company required US to pay
a large commission on the gross re-
ceipts, furnish all the prizes at
total cost of $5S5.0O for the Ford
car, about S125.OO for the other
prizes, all advertising, job printing,
postage and travelling expenses for
the manager while visiting the con-
testants, etc. With the gross re-
ceipts amounting to less than fif-
teen hundred dollars, it can east
ly be seen that there was very
little left for We editor after paying
all this expense.
AS to why the contest failed we
are unable to say definitely and will
not discuss this point more than to
say that the success or failure of the
contest was largely with the mana
ger, for this was his part in the con-
test work. We purchased every
prize he suggested in order to give
him good prizes to work with and
upon the representation that he
could make the receipts run over
100000. This being true we can
not see anywhere else to place the
failure. Of course the manager and
the company he represented will OBJ
ject to our saying these things, but
suppose the contest had been great
success, then they would have liked
for US to say as much in their favor.
There is a great deal more that
could be said that would place the
blame of the failure where it be-
longs, but we are not going to say
more than that we have enough of
contests to last us as long as we live,
even if we should be spared to stay
here one thousand years. not because
this contest was failure, but be-
cause of the spirit in which these
s. managers act and deal with US. 1t
took two trials to give us this
ENOUGH, Tut we have it now.
