SUPERIOR coUET JUDGES:
Editor Caucasian,
DpaG Sir:

DeaG Sir:
knowing that you always
tak Ike deep interest III the IL
nanCial condition OF on: county
and state, | hope Won will find
space for the following thoughts
The embarrassment in BUSH
Tess matters has become alarm
ing; the subject demands Che
deepest study of Ill who have
the prosperity OF our people at
heart. la five years frOm to-
day continuing in its present
policy, our section OF the state
will be absolutely bankrupt.
Our course tor some time Las
--'-syy-- c-.ai-aentlX nafs---+'.',.'i'a- asa
suicidal. Now why suicidal?
Because we are Responsible Ill
part for past failures. We CON
sumo more than we produce. We
buy more than we sell. Oar
policy is draining our county OF
its financial life. No strictly
agricultural people, and such we
are, can afford 10 Ouy what they
can produce by the exercise OF
their own energy, even suppO5-
ing tkey can bny cheaper than
they can produce. Why? Be
canse they hava no money to
buy with except that which
they produce by their own la
Dor from the soil. II q farmer
can buy western meat for eight
cents whiie it costs him ten
cents to- raise e-mada meGt,
let him raise it always. WIN ?
Because he cLn utilize and con-
vert into money il the raising
Of his mcat such products as
would be useless 10 him il COIL
su,ued otherwise, and further
more. if we buy meat we must
paw for it with cotton and cot
ton almost exclusively.
by investigation it will be
found That our Imports OF meat
aud flour require for their pay
nent aboGs two thirds of our
exports III cotton, and the re.
maiuinsc one thIrd goes for fer.
tiljZeIs.
We are new at that point
where We must, in spite OF
ourselves, leave off the purchase
OF flour, meat and fertilizers to
such an eXtravLgant extent
and, just in proportion as We
abandon this policy and produce
ut home, the articles mentioned
will our prosperity be advanced
Now, MIR. Editor, comes the cues
ton, can it be done? As tC
flours aud fertilizers, undoubt.
edly,yes, if our people are in-
dustrious AMI prudent. As t.
producing our own meat xa can
only rely Oh future effort and
experience. No trial that we
may make is likely to prove
worse than the existing state OF
things.
We have understood, from
various sources that by Constant
and careful attention and by
keeping them shut up to them
selves, our hogs in almost every
case will escape the cholera
More over we learn that liz
these seotions of our state where
the mo Fence Law" prevail.
the loss of hogs is exceediugl,
small, while prior to the zen
foreenerst efethis law they die

"Hillsboro is next to the Oldest
town in North Carolina, and some
OF the streets are laid with rock by
the order, SO | was told, Of Lord
CORVALLIS. For some years past
people have been calling Hilisboro
a dead town. Durham has been
drawing the tobacco trade from this
section, but last tall the citizens said
tha, they were tired Of that kind of
way OF doing business ard they pro-
posed TO change the order OF things;
SO they went to work 10 establish a

of Mr.. L e. II. Brown. Mr.. Springs
started the factory last May and al
