LADY BED FAST FOR
TWO Or THREE WEEKS
Too Weak to Do Any Housework.
Gives Up Hope Of Ever Being Well.
Dreco Restored Her She Says.

Here is a remarkable statement
made by a highly esteemed man, WHO
has been employed for 13 years at
the Victor Cotton Mills, Greer, S. {
His name is Mr.. J. H. Jackson, and
every one there knows him. He says:
"My wife has suffered for 20 years
with stomach disorders, Indigestion,
gas, nervousness, pains in her back
and limbs, loss of sleep and general
breakdown in her system She hal
chronic diarrhoea, her food passing
right on through, doing her no good.

While we are waiting to get the
big road bills passed by the legisla
ture and the bonds voted we might
use the split log drag on some of the
roads we now have and the immediate
results would be amazing. With a
proper application and use at the right
time of thes pitt log drag we could
have very good roads in this county
all. the year round. And 1t would cost
very little in comparison with the
good results. But there would have
to be a regular and systematic use of
the drag.
And while we are talking, about
roads we understand that the officials
of the Southern railway have finally
agreed to cooperate with the G., N. &
L. and the county supervisor in the
relocation of the road between New
berry and Prosperity in the removal
of the grade crossings. So we may
expect in the near future to have this
road in good shape and the railroad
crossings removed. At the present
time it is about as bad road as there
is in the county, much worse than it
has been in many years, due, we sup
pose, to the fact that everything has
been stopped on it expecting the re-
location in the near future.

HOLDING COTTON.

There is one thing the farmer should
remember at this time in regard to the
proposition to hold cotton and reduce
acreage. It is, that in this crisis when
the cotton farmer is urged to reduce
acreage. that the greater portion OF
the cotton that is being held is in the
hands of the producer. At other
times when the farmers were urged
to reduce acreage there was not near
so large proportion of the cotton IN
the hands of the men who produce it.
We do not suppose there ever has
been a time in the history of the
country when there was so large a
proportion of the cotton of any crop
still in the hands of the cotton pro-
dueer as is at present. So much
stronger is the appeal to the selfish
ness and personal interest OF the cot
ton producer to reduce the acreage
for the crop that is to be planted this
year.
The only salvation of the cotton
grower is to reduce the acreage of the
crop this year and plant more exten-
sively of something to eat and to give
more attention to cattle and hog
raising.
The situation is absolutely in the
hands of the cotton farmer of the
sSouth. Reduce the acreage and cut
down the use of fertilizer. Any other
plan will bankrupt the farmer and ruin
all other business enterprises.

February came in like nice little

edy Here Last Night.
IGoldsboro, N. C. August 1st.
Playing before an immense audience
! at the popular Acme theatre, in this
city, last night, "My Soldier Girl" the
popular military musical spectacle was
declared to be the most thoroughly en-
joyed show ever played on, Goldsboro
stage.
The entire cast played their individ-
ual parts in grand stayle, but the star
actress Of the evening, was Miss Gun
drum Walberg, who played the part Of
"My Soldier Girl" This clever little
lady, by her modern dancing, and
beautiful voice, coupled with striking
stage appearance, won the admiration
of every person in the spacious theatre.
Time and again this winsome little
kid, by her clever acting would bring
the entire house down in appleause.
! The opening scene was taken from a
were preparing for a rehearsal. Before
proceeding it is learned that two Of
the star actors have been ordered to
report for duty in the aviation corps.
"My Soldier Girl" he leading actress,
after viewing military parade on the
streets of New York, becomes enthused
and decides that she wishes to some
thing for her country. Her father, who
was colonel in the Spanish-American
war and typical Southerner, accom-
panied by his negro body gaurd comes
to New York in search of his daughter.
After searching diligently he finds her.
She tells him she has decided to be-
come an aviator. The colonel secures
an aviation camp on his plantation.
The girls all leave for the South and
the curtain falls.
The next scene is On the Southern
plantation Two instructors arrive and
the girls begin their training. "My
Soldier Girl soon becomes an aviator

comes military abode
The show was undoubtedly great
success from beginning to end and
Manager Mason is to be congratulated
upon securing such high class enter
tainment for the Goldsboro public.

Securities and Money
Brighter Labor
Outlook Causes
Rise i'm Stocks

In the stock market, where security
prices yesterday crept to higher levels
the view Of market operators that the
labor outlook was brighter found ex-
preston. Until the final hour of trad
ing prices with few exceptions plunged
upward and many stocks gained from 2
to points.
Profit taking and a report from union
leaders at Washington that unless
Judge Gary would consent to confer
with them n strike would be declared
caused recessions averaging more than
points. But at closing time the news
reached the market that the executive
committee Of the railway shopmen
would recommend to the men accept
ance of President Wilson's proposals.
This information was regarded as
cheerful by the speculative community.
With the labor question again the
dominant market influence, opinion
about the course of security values
plvoted chiefly on judgment as to what
decision large groups of workinpmen
would make. The buoyancy which pre-
vailed in Wall Street during the first
four hours of trading was caused
mainly by the labor news of the dav.
The statement of John Fitzpatrick.
chairman OF the conference committee
of the steel workers, Wednesday nigh.
that his second lette- to the chairman
OF the United States Steel Corporation
was moderate in tenor, press report,
from the Pennsylvania steel districts
that the rank and fl lie of workers were
opposed to a strike, and information
ABOUT a more conciliatory attitude on
the part of railway shopmen in indi-
vldual cities-these three DEVELOPMENTS
made buyers and sellers of stocks feel
that the preceding days estimate of
the labor situation was perhaps over
pessimistic
The actual rise Of stocks was aided
to an appreciable extent by short COW
erlng, as the market was again largely
In the hands OF professionals. 1t was
the LABOR news, however. which induced
those who had sold stocks heavily on
wednesday to buy them back yesterday.
Steel common itself at the close had
net gain Of y points. The equipment
stocks were in great demand, and
American Wool, despite sharp de-
cline toward the close, was extremely
active.
In the bond market, which showed no
qulckened activity, Liberty bonds sold
trif1e lower. However, the tax-ex-
empt 3l2s and the converted 4s and
422s Of the first Liberty loan, contrary
to the other government issues. showed
slight advances. According to opinions
expressed BY investment bankers, the
bond market should improve in Scptem-
Der, when the potential buyers return
from their vacations.

The movement against London was at
trbuted partly to the report that the
Bank OF England had reduced the rate
OF interest on foreign deposits from

mated that foreign balances would

news seemed to have it's effect on the

Withdrawing Incentives

Private cables from London brought
the news yesterday that the Bank of
England had reduced the rate of in
terest on foreign balances from Az
per cent to 3 per cent. Bankers char
acterized the reduction as a logical
move, because the bank had been pay
ing more on these deposits than it
was getting on its own loans, many of
which were made at 31a per cent. The
high rate. which was instituted on No
vember 10. 1915. was designed to at
tract funds TO London, and keep that
city the worlds banking centre. In
January the bank reduced the rate as
applied to French, Italian and Belgian
balances, because the exchange rate in
relation to those countries was in favor
OF London, and there was no need of
artlllcially acting TO stabilize exchange.

day of Crucible Steel, when the latter
jumped more than 10 points. Baldwin,

sold off with the rest Of the market
on the news that the representatives

New Buyers of Rails

New information regarding the dis
tribution of railroad securities is con-
tanned in the announcement of the
Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday that
the number of stockholders of the COM
pany on August was 2,261, gain
of 613 in NORTH and 8,033 in year.
The wider distribution is probably due
to the low price at which the stock is
selling. 1t now yields about per
cent. Although the company has never
paid less than 6 per cent on its com
mon stock since 1900, it actually
earned less than per cent in 1918,
under war conditions.
