secks the standing of u newspaper he|
has only to see if it is in the category
of assailant or assailed. Ifin the for-'

TuEspAY, OCTOBER 12, 1897.
; "
: What is known as the Bureau
report, showing monthly an esti-
mate of the cotton crep, was
given to the public on Monday.
This report placed the estimate
at 70 per cent. of an average crop,
a decline of 10 per cent since the
September report was made a
month ago. Notwithstanding the
falling off in the estimate, and the
prospect of a much shorter crop
than was expecte] early in the
season, this Bureau report was
followed by a decline in the price
of spot cotton. This looks like
there is some other influence that
bears upon the price of cotton
beside the supply. We believe
the speculators are largely re-
sponsible for the low price that
prevails. It may not be the best
course to advise farmers to hold
their cotton, but it does not seem
possible that it can remain as low
as at present.

A WRONG TO BUSINESS MEN.
The theory of the law is that itis
based upon common sense, but a
great North Carolina lawyer has
been heard to say that this does
not apply to statute law. If it,
did the theory and the facts would
fail to square. Wehavein mind
at this time a statute which works
a great wrong to the merchants
of Charlotte, and not of Charlotte
alone, but of every other town in
the State which sets itself up as a
trading centre. A Charlotte mer-
chant cannot pack a trunk with
gocdsand send a salesman with
it to Salisbury or Raleigh or any
other North Carolina town and
have him display the goods and
offer them for sale; nor can a
merchant of Salisbury or Raleigh
- pack such a trunk and send a
3 representative with itto Charlotte
| or any other North Carolina town
�"� to display its contents and offer
them for sale; but such a sales-
map with such a trunk may come
into any of these towns from
Tennessee, South Carolina or
Virginia and offer his goode for
sale, without the payment of any
tax, against the local merchant
who stays here all the time and
pays tax upon poll, property and
purchases. The inter-State com-
merce laws protect him, and he
can go where ho pleases, as the
wind, which bloweth where it
_ Tisteth, but the home merchant is
_. eonfined, as by a Chinese wall
to his owntown. The injustice ig
palpable, and by means of the
operation of this law North Caro-
_ Hina is drained of a creat deal of
- Money. Salesmen come into the
Btate from abroad, sell goods at
wetail, take measures and orders,
nd go away without leaving a
pliar in tax, while adealer in a
about getting legislation on the
subject, bus the remedy of the
évil is in the hands of our own
people. Let them stop buying
goods and giving orders to stroll-
ing salesmen from other States.
Let them deal with their own
merchants and keep their money
athome. Ifthe Salisbury woman
cannt get what she wants in Sal-
isbury, let her come or send to
Charlotte for it, and vice versa,
and if neither can get in either
market the ¢ oods wanted, let. her
at least, if she is going to . buy it
abroad, give the order for it
through her home merchant."
Charlotte Observer.
Are American Women Unhealthy
Surely Dr. Cyrus Edson must
be taking too-pessimistic a view
of the physical condition of
American women when he de-
clares that oa perfectly healthy
woman 18 quite a rarity.�
oWheneTer we take our walks
abroad� anywhere within the
boundaries of Greater New York,
wa see women on foot, on horse-
back and on wheel whose shapely
figures, elastic muvements and
fresh complexions seem to war-
rant the belief that they are oin
the pink of condition.� ©
Recent athletic records show
that our young men are surpass-
ing their predecessors in nearly
every line of muscular perform-
ance. Ithas been demonstrated,
moreover, that the ayerage A mer-
ican man has become taller by at
least one inch within the last two
generations, and that, compared
with his Eurcpean contempo-
raries, he has been steadily grow-
ing larger cf limb, weightier in
the szale and, most significant of
all, longer lived.
This being the superior exhibit
of the American man, can it be
true, as Dr. Edson tells us in the
North American Reyiew, that the
American woman is_ rarely
healthy ?
The American man is borr of
the American woman, and
strength is not inherited from
weakness nor supericr physique
from unhealthy mothers. Yet
Dr. Edson says be lately inquired
carefully into the cases of 239
average women of his acquaint-
ance, and found only fourteen of
them to be in perfect health.
Only one healthy American
woman in seventeen is a dis-"
heartening ratio. Dr. HdsonTs
239 women were not, weT think
fairly representative of the glo-
rious womanhood of America."
New York World.
Is the Cotton Yield Exaggerated ?
The manager of a very great
cottonseed oil plant informs the
World that this yearTs cotton
crop will fall about 2,000,000 bales
short or the current estimates.
He gets his iniormation from
his cottonseed buyers, who go
into every part of the cotton
country, and he is confident that
his figures are accurate.
If heis right there is an over-
estimate of the crop. which
threatens serious detriment to the
planters. For the price of cotton
is determined by the crop esti-
mate, and if this is gieatly too
high the price will remain cor-
respondingly too low until the
error becomes apparent. By that
time the cotton will have passed
out of the hands of its growers
and any increase in price will
inure tothe benefit ot the spec-
ulators only."New York World.

A STRANGE. DISCOVERY.
The Bile of @ Serpent. an Autilote For Ie
~Another fry elfactive agent ya
overcoming the venom of serpents
thas been discovered by Professor |
Thomas R. Fraser of the University
of Edinburgh. It is not whisky,
wherewithAmericans antagonize
the poison of rattlesnakes, nor is it
M. CalmetteTs antitoxic serum, ob-
tained from the blood of animals
which have been rendered immune
by successive inoculations with
small quantities of the venom. The
new antidote is nothing more or less
than the serpentT sown bile. In re-
porting a series of elaborate experi-
ments conducted by himself Profess-
or Fraser recently said:
oThe bile from the gall bladder of
the African cobra, puff adder, rattle-
snake and grass snake was used,
and each bile was tested against the
venom of the African and the In-
dian cobra. For the most part the
experiments were made by mixing
various quantities of each bile with
alittle more than the minimum fatal
dose of the venom and then inject-
ing this mixture under the skin of
the animal. The object of the ex-
periments was not only to determine
if the bile can render venom innocu-
ous, but also, if it have this power,
what is the smallest quantity of bile
capable of doing if,
Having recounted the various
doses which he employed and their
effects, he thus summarizes the re-
sult: ~o~It was thus shown that the
bile of venomous serpents is able,
when mixed with the venom of
serpents, to prevent lethal doses
of the latter from producing death,
and that the bile is, indeed, so
powerful an agent in doing this
that a quantity actually smaller
than the quantity of venom may
It
need scarcely be added that the
doses of bile thus shown to be suffi-
cient represent only minute portions
of the bile stored in the gall bladder
of a serpent, and that a serpent,
therefore, has at its disposal enough
bile to prevent injury from venom
introduced into the stomach in quan-
tities many times greater than the
minimum lethal.�T
The bile of harmless serpents was
also tested and found to be effective,
though ina less degree, The same
secretion from an animal like the ox
was made the subject of other ex-
periments. It was even less power-
ful than the bile of innocuous snakes
and about one-seventh as strong in
its antitoxic influence as the bite of
the cobra or asp, but if enough of
it were used it would overcome a
fatal dose of the poison.
Dy. Fraser found that he could iso-
late the particular element in a ser-
8 | pentTs bite which has this surprising
property so that the antidote can be
prepared for the market in very
compact form, and the process of
manufacture is probably quite as
simple as and perhaps more rapid
than that of M. Calmette.
Precisely how he obtained his clew
the Edinburgh savant does not say,
but he incidentally remarks that
some of the native snake doctors in
Africa have a remedy, compounded
of several substances, of which one
is snake bile, and they are accus-
tomed to administer it not only by
introducing it into the patientTs |;
stomach, where it is probably with-
out effect, but also by rubbing it in-
to the wound, where it would be ab-
sorbed into the blood. It is proba-
ble, therefore, that this wonderful
provision of nature, which compels
a serpent tosecrete in one part of its
system a cure for the poison that it
eecretes in another, has long been
known in some of those countries
where the information is most likely
to prove beneficial to mankind."

he Missing Link.
The party of scientists and anfi-
quariangs who were exploring the
Rocky mountains in the spring of
the year 2000, mounted on their
new T00 model bikes, suddenly heard
a loud cry of triumph from the lips
of Professor Rubbertire of the
Smithsonian institution, who was
some distance ahead,
Hastening forward, they found
the professor standing by the side
of the moldering remains of a wag-
on. ln front of the decaying frag-
ments lay the petrified remains of
four extinct animals.
~See,T said the professor, point- |
ing to the animal to the right, near}
est the wagon. ~~We have found
the missing link between that noble
machine, the bicycle, and the ani-
mal kingdom at last,TT .
~~What is itiT? asked the excited
group.
~That, gentlemen,�T said the pro-
fessor, ~~is undoubtedly the fossil re-
mainsof.a wheel horse.�"!* ge
