GERMANY BIDS. Is CENTS
PER POUND FOR COTTON

Berlin, Sept. S.-Via London-GeP
man cotton men are taking up. earn
estly the plan to purchase American
cotton. They sent a wireless to the
German consulate in New York Aug. 81
to buy 100000 bales at Is cents per
pound on delivery in German harbor.
The message was signed by the Deut-
sche, Dresdner and Disconto Banks
Fof Berlin, and the National Bank of
Bremen.
The intending purchasers, through
the President of the Bremen chamber
of commerce, have assured the con-
sulate and the embassw at Washington
that they were in position to provide
adequate guarantees that the cotton
would no be used for military purposes
but purely industrially. They added,
as substantiation, that the military and
naval authorities have on hand cotton
enough for over two years, and that
cotton for explosives is not included
in this, as new processes haveenabled
the government to dispense with the
use of cotton in making explosives
Washington, Sept. S.-Senator Hokes
! Smith of Georgia announced todav
that he had received a cablegram from
Baumanwall Import Gosellschaft at
Berlin stating that guarantees to take
million bales of American cotton at
Is cents pound, to be used exclu-
f;vely for civil purposes in Germany,
had been deposited with the American
consul.
Senator Smith said that he knew
nothing of the importers who sent him
, the cable. Delivery of the cotton to
Germany would be, impossible SO long
as the allies continue to enforce their
Orders in Council against commerce
with Germany.

You have read the newspaper adver-

safety departments. And it wants to
include all men, too.
You cannot afford to take a chance.
Play safe.
Acquire the safety habit. 1t is the
only habit that will never injure you
Haste makes waste, and may cause
an accident
Most men who are crippled in bust
ness have a lame excuse" has been
quoted by some attorneys as the
truth. But what is the use of being
crippled if we can be safe?
Let Us ell be safety inspectors. Re

THE CARPENTERS SON.
(By Annie Johnson Flint.)

The little shop at Nazareth,
The peaceful life for which it stood
The. clear, strong, ringing hammer
strokes,
The droning saw, the riven wood.
The murmur of the smoothing plane,
The scent of shavings, freshly curled
When Thou hadst left them all behind,
And gone Thy way into the world
Where men would hate Thee and re-
vile,
And one betray Thee with a kiss,
And one deny, and all forsake-
Was there one added pang in this
That tools of Thy familiar craft
Should be the things that wound
Thee
The hammer and the driven nai':::,
The wood of that accursed tree?
All no! Thou Crowned and Crucified.
Thou Power of God that seemed to
fail:
Twas not of wood Thy cross was
made,
Twas not the hammer and the nail
That drove the blows and fixed Thee
there.
And pierced Thy hands and feet at
lasrS
Mans hatred and mans sins the
cross,
And love-Thy love-that held Thee
fast.

REGIsTER COOKS AND NURSES.
Why Not Register Cooks and Nurses
With Washerwomen?

why NOC Register COOKS ana nurses
With Washerwomen?
A number of cities and towns in
North Carolina have passed ordinances
relative to the registering of washer
women. The ordinances, in most
cases, demand that all washerwomen
shall have certificates of good health
and shall furnish sanitary premises
and pharaphernalia fol, doing their
work.
But this bit of sanitary legislation
| is being protested against by the
heusekeeneTs, not that it is deficient in
itself but that it's scope is too narrow
to be effective. If infection is going
to be kept at it's source and not allow
ed to spread to homes and to other in
tdividuals, which. seems to be the pur-
pose of the ordinance, why not include
the registry of cooks and nurses? They
are quite as, or more, important as
disease spreading factors.
Said one lady, recently, speaking on
this subject: 'Of four servants / ems
ployed consecutively three had infee-
tious diseases. Two were consump-
tives and another had even a worse
disease. For quite while each kept
her symptoms concealed and, taking It
altogether, my family was exposed for
weeks to these terrible diseases"
There is no doubt but that nurses,
cooks and washerwomen do directly
expose innocent families to contagious
diseases. There's no greater source OF
dangerous and infectious diseases than
careless, ignorant cook. If she has
mind to, she may pass many infee-
tious germs across the board to the UNI
suspecting family. We are not pessi-
mistic enough to believe that there are.
many such, but we know that such
has been the case in a number Of in
stances lOftentimes they themselves
are not aware of their condition. For
instance, Typhoid Mary and Typhoid
Anna. Eleven cases of fever occurred
in the three families in which Anna
was employed all within two years.
She herself did not know that she was
a. carrier" until she wast suspected
land examined. Yet the intimate terms
of the cook and the family are ap-
parent.
A certificate of health for the cook
nurse or washerwoman would not
only protect the employers family but
it would be means of obtaining better
health an da higher standard of SER
vice for the employed. Furthermore,
it would be a means of protection
against unfairness, on both sides.

NORTH CAROLINA WOMEN
ORGANIZE FOR COOPERATION

The North Carolina Farm Women's
Convention, which was recently in ses-
sion inrRaIeigh, was most interesting
and profitable. wish every one. OF
you women might have been there.
The keynote of the convention was Coz
operation
1t was a wonderful convention; not
in size, but as indicating the growth of
country women as individuals interest
ed in home in its broader sense 1t
was splendid to see those women
standing on their feet telling of
conditions in their countries clearly
and without embarrassment women
who few years ago would have been
absolutely overcome with confusion at
the thought of even rising to their feeE
in meeting. Yet there they were, self
developed leaders of women, each do
ing fine work.
The women have been attending this
convention for years as individuals,
but this year they formed permanent
federation. The name chosen for the
organization was "The North Carolina
Federation of Rural Women" At first
they thought of saying Rural Organi-
cations" instead of rural women but
uaI worker. The object of the feder-
alton shall be to bring together all
women interested in rural welfare .
Could anything be finer?
Some of the subjects discussed by
women were Community Welfare;
The Work of Rural Clubs in Sampson
County,; "A Model Community; "Co-
operative Marketing for Women; us
Country Produce Satisfactory to City
Customers? If not, Why Not?"; de
mands of Northern Markets and Co
operation of Town and Country Wo-
men," There was also a demonstra-
ton in preserving figs for the city
markets.

SNAKE IN A STRAW MATTRESS.


Suppose you knew that in the straw
mattress under the comfortable feath-
Ier bed on which you were sleeping
there was a snake crawling around
in the straw, you would not sleep very
comfortably, would you? If you knew
nothing about the snake being in the
mattress, why you would do just as
the folks who slept over the live snake
did sleep, sound and comfortable. A
lady in this county, who is one of the
best housekeepers ever and whose
beds are noted for their softness and
comfort, told one of the boys few
days ago to take certain straw mat
tress out, take all the old straw out Of
it and go out to where the threshing
had just been done and to fill the mat
tress with clean, fresh straw. The
boy obeyed orders and in putting in.
the straw he put in a live snake, long
as his arm or longer. The mattress
was sewed up, put under a fluffy feath-
er bed and for number of nights peo-
pie slept on the bed and that snake
wriggled and squirmed trying to get
out of his cloth prison. but the ones
sleeping on the bed did not even
dream of snakes. The reptile was not
found until after he was very dead

STORY OF
TRANGE INSCRIPTION ON A TOMB
Monroe Enquirer


"When / come, "I'll come Whistlin!
That sentence is carved on the marble
slab at the head of the grave of an old
colored man in cemetery near Ian
caster, S. C. The story of the strange
inscription is that the old colored man
whose tombstone bears it was trust
ed servant in the homeaof Attorney
John T. Green's father in the days of
slavery, and was the family carriage
driver. When Sherman's army made
its raid this servant was told by the
federal soldiers one night that he must
go to Lancaster and he went and told
his mistress. She told him that he
was the only man on the place and
she was sick and needed him to look
after the household. The faithful
servant replied, IF don't go dey will
kill me, but I'll be back dis night. IL:
git away from 'em dis night, and you
will know when / git here, for when /
come I'll come whistlin.'" Mrs. Green
says that at o'clock in the morning
she heard her faithful old servant COM
ing through the ward and he was
Whistling as loud and as cheerfully as
if peace covered the land and the sur
was shining in mid-heaven. Mrs
Green often related the story in years
after the war and she said that the
whistle of that old colored man was
the sweetest music she ever heard
The former owners of the faithful oil
servant buried him. Attorney J..
Green delivered an address at his fun
eral the headstone at the grave wa
erected by the Green family and at tbs
suggestion OF member of the fami1-
he inscription quoted was carved on it
