The best dandruff cure is a bald head The best hair restorer is a native of Columbia, at the sec- or third fall of the River. He uses an awl, a mallet and some spice gum. After punching a hole in the scalp he inserts a hair, which is plastered around with the gum and cultivated until it takes firm root. His custom is to plant three hairs a day.

When things seem to have gone wrong generally, and is quite as it should be; when the other man gets the pro- motion; the other man makes tho wise investment; the other man, in short, annexes to him- self tho desired things of life, the trouble is that you forget your part in the game while watching him play his.

The August number of the National contains an editorial on Hon. John H. Small, congressman from the- first dis- of this state, should be read Ly all North Carolinians, particularly, of course by the people that live in Mr. Small's district. We wish we-had space here to reproduce the entire but as we are unable to so do we subjoin some extracts to show in what esteem the con- is held beyond the borders f his own state and what a splendid work He is do- for the future development and increased wealth of his sec- of the country. The Na- Magazine says part. of hills pour on every side at each session of congress, and among them are a few measures that look well in- to the future. Congressman John Small, of North Caro- has not only give to the local interests of his constituents and to general leg- but his greatest; public service has consisted in direct public attention to the improve- of the waterways of the country. Beginning ii when he first entered congress, he began to concentrate of his time upon this subject. He made occasional talks in the house of representatives; be before he visited the tie be- tween Baltimore and Jackson- ville; he furnished to the press and contributed to the magazines. contended that i on sub- progress could be made the waterways which embrace the entire and contemplate the v. of all sections. Naturally, most of his attention was directed to the construction and improvement of the chain of waterways from Boston to Florida. But me particular link in that which he considered of importance. That was when it gets one there. Had Mr. Small been retired after having served only two terms, this waterways project would lave languished and, most prob- ably, fallen through entirely. Frequent change of congressmen from the districts chiefly inter- in the subject would have been fatal to it, or at least would have greatly delayed for no. matter how tent and energetic the new con- they could not have taken up the work where it was left off by their predecessors and carried it on so successfully, or have aroused such great interest in it among the people of the commercial of the entire Atlantic seaboard. Of course, Mr. Small's friends do not claim for him credit for all that has been done, but it cannot be denied that his share in it has been very large. News and Observer.

Kn Ohio farmer is solving the problem of what to do with the worn out-farm. He owns an old homestead of sixty acres, which he is desirous of keeping in the family. He does not live on the place, however, and farming has been a losing proposition. He has, therefore, decided to plant the entire tract with trees. He already planted Nor- way spruce, set three and one- half feet apart each way, on an area of about eleven acres. These trees will be cut. as they become large enough, for Christ- mas trees. Chestnut seedlings will be planted in the spaces left by the removal of the spruce, and it is that they will begin to come in bearing when the last spruce is cut In addition to the spruce, hardy catalpa, black locust, elm, and more have been planted. It is Editor w i . i a your paper till the attention of the town officials to a matter that might be remedied and greatly improve the appear- of our streets. There is an ordinance reading something like All garbage accumulation within the limits of the town shall be placed in a convenient place for removal the town carts on Monday and Thursday of each week, and at no other time. As I understand it this docs not mean for the to place on the sidewalks of the town for garbage barrels, boxes, old dish pans and every- other receptacle that can be had and keep them there to put in them all during the week, but most everybody seems to think so, judging from appearance. On Sunday after- noon I took a walk around town and saw a great deal of unsightly, bad smelling stuff placed on the streets in this way. I think this is a matter that should be looked after and the streets kept clear at least on Sunday. Citizen. For Register of Deeds.

She paused to choose from them One for her very own. Softly she crept amid the Mowers And all their beauty bright, Where nestled close by mother rose Lay a bud of purest white B, Innocence with a baby face, Watched by the keeper's tinder care. Its fragrance hero was borne for aught Why should it linger Then the angel softly sighed. here you cannot Tenderly she plucked the bud And bore her treasure away.

Looking back over a friend- ship of many years, I set more clearly than ever before two things that were characteristic of Mr. Cleveland. In his toward human nature then- was a keen perception of its weakness and limitation, com- tined with a fifth faith in the gradual and ultimate triumph of its nobler qualities. ThU made him in the broad sense of the word, a democrat, but not an obstreperous and flamboyant and hopeful demo- can trust the best judgment of the rank and he said, you always reach it in a And best part of every man ought to rule, and when you can get that all together you have the real voice of the people. That is what education is for, to bring the best part to the The second thing that was characteristic of him was his latitude toward the law. He did j not want overmuch of it. but he wanted to be profoundly re- i and fearlessly enforced. had a sincere mistrust of j excessive legislation. The hope ; of bringing the millennium y j statute was one that he did not share. But for the law as and tor the safeguards which it offers to common rights I of person and property, had la very holy reverence. Con- science and courage both enter- ed into this feeling. It came out again and again in his public acts and utterances. It shone also in his private conversation and in the whole bearing of the man. He had that kind of which consists in application large ideas to every-day pro- He illuminated questions with homely illus- I remember his begin- a discourse on the boundary dispute with a ref- to a rel between two farmers about a line-fence. Be- fore he had finished that spun figure of speech he every one see the real reason and justification of an act of can statesmanship which Wall Street cursed for a fortnight, but which the world at large hes approved ever since. It seems to me that Grover Cleveland will take his place among the great Presidents of the United States. But his greatness did not consist in the possession of extraordinary of common manhood to an extraordinary degree. He rep- resented the best type of a plain American man raised to the Nth power. His friendship, to which he admitted younger men with such a hearty and natural sympathy, was frank, generous, and stead- fast. The whole man went into it. Those who knew him thus remember him, not as a personage, but as a real and satisfying person- of native Cleveland at by Henry van Dyke, in the American Review of Reviews for August.

They also dis- cussed the preparation of the Democratic hand book, the of the advisory committee and other matters relating; to the campaign. Chairman Filer while here, will decide upon the time for opening the headquarters in Raleigh. Mr. Kitchin is in splendid health, although he has had no vacation this summer. He will deliver the first of the campaign at the opening of Rockingham court at Wentworth Monday, August 3rd, but this will probably not be the keynote speech as that will be delivered after the Republican platform shall have been published. Chairman Eller will remain in Raleigh today, Mr. Kitchin re- turning to Roxboro this morning. NEW SEASON UNDER FA- CONDITIONS. First Day's Sales are Light, Prices Very Satisfactory -Record of Warehouses and Buyers. The Greenville tobacco market today began sales for the j of 1908-09 under most favorable conditions. Following the heavy storm of last week that put -x- work on the farmers in care of their crop and made it too busy a time for them to get to market, largo sales were not expected today, yet each of the five warehouses had very fair bleaks the opening pries were entirely satisfactory. There were a number of people out at tie- warehouses to see how the market d off and to get an idea of opening prices, and several remarks were heard that if prices kept o-i as they Started today the farmers all be satisfied this The first sale was at Pas ham's warehouse, then following in or- at the Gum, the Liberty, the Star and the Brick.
