NORTH CAROLINA COTTON.
While upon the subject, we will men
ton that North Carolina, though not
considered a "cotton State" is fast
taking rank with her more Southern
sisters in producing the fieecy staple.
When single towns, like Raleigh or
Charlotte, buy 40, 900 in a season, there
can be no doubt that the State is great
ly increasing her product.
In truth, North Carolina has special
advantages for cotton growing. Our
climate admits of its culture by white
labor and u proximity to the sea-
board and the great Northern mart,
gives Us the preference when orders
are to be filed. Besides, the charac-
ter of our upland cotton is highly es-
teemed. Improved by the vse of fer
tilizerS, the staple is white as snow !;
and without that dirt, grit and sand,
which in many portions of the Gulf
States drifts from the coast, and proves
ruinous to the machinery wherein the
cotton is worked.
These favorable characteristics have
led many Of the leading Northern fac
tories to establish agencies for buying
in all u chief towns, thus permitting
our farmers to sell directly to the mills,
without mourning the extra commits
sions of the New York or Baltimore
broker.
We are pleased to note these facts
because we consider cotton the best
"money-crop We can have. 1t Is
hSds, SASoA, Noiipd1t, easily ndiluleO
and always equivalent to cash. Look
at the trouble of keeping 500 worth o
hay, or corn, or potatoes, which com
pels the Northern farmer to builC
large barns, whereas 500 worth O.
cotton can be rolled under a she'd anv
where.
There is little sense or profit in cul
tivating cotton as an exclusive crop
but after the farmer has insured 70
himself a plentiful crop of corn, wheat
vegetables and fruits, he will do wei
to plant half a dozen acres in cotton I
sell for cash to pay taxes, school bills
preacher and doctor bills, and abov
all-The Printer.

thought in d~enouncing the venality
of the Northern Press, in the great
money centres. 1t says
The most alarming feature of the
present financial struggle is the We
nality of the city press of the North.
To that press the country Is inclined
to look for leadership. because in it is
combined so much of taleut. of in
formation and of political knowledge
and experience as TO present all the
qualifications for safe guidance added
to which. there has been such D e
ance of independent thought and fear

maintain the promise that justice.
honesty and fairness wOul live and
eventually survive a general deluge of
corruption. But the power of money
has seduced the press, and with no
exception that we can recall. North
ern journalism is arraved on the side
OF the money power as against the in
terests of all the country besides. 1t
Is impossible TO conceive that all the
country outside of the money centres
is wrong that all its intelligence is at
fault that all its sufferings are unreal:
and that all the remedies it proposes
are irrational or dishonorable.
The worst cure that has befallen the
United States are the combinations of
Wall Street the focus financial tricks:
and a curse less tolerable is that of a
press bought to favor and defend
them"
Yes, and we see the same insidious
scoundrelism work in some of the
leading Southern cities. such as Rich
mond, New Orleans, Nashville and
Charleston. Let the honest Press of
the South do its duty at all risks.
