AN INTERNATIONAL EcYSIUM,

The boodler's paradise has been
found at last. 1t is Nogeles. One
side Mexican, the other United States
Of America. 1t is 1900 feet above
the sea-, picturesque, environed by YER
dant hills, and in the valley the orange
and almond fourishes. In fact, to
quote every prospect pleases, and
only man is vile" 1t is also said,
" there may be found the aristocratic
homes Of some of the best people Of
the United States and Mexico" The
south half of Nogeles should be the
boodler's paradise, for it is not infested
by American Sheriffs, at least not to
the extent of ability to harm so long
as the expatriated sticks to the south
half of this extra-national asylum. A
correspondent says: An American
boodler standing in Mexico may light
his cigar from hat of a Sheriff in the
United States. Sitting on his piazza
in Mexico, he can join in the "Star-
Spangled Banner" played across the
street in his own, his native land. He
may even take a stroll with an Ameri-
can detective for miles, and talk in
low tones of the loved and lost, yet
each remain in a different nation. 1t
is only necessary that he should guard
against abstraction and indulge in no
brown studies, else in a trice his legal
status might be changed by IN unwary
step.-Farm Field and Stockmon.

the last blowing in June. Besides big
cotton crops, Mr.. Farmer makes twice
enough corn to do him. He. plants
ten acres to the plow and every five
acres feeds and keeps fat a mule that
does not eat much idle bread. He
also makes enough meat to supply his
own table and sugar cane syrup in
sufficient quantity to supply his large
force of laborers. We may have,
more-to say of his methods next win
ter, but have said so much now to
suggest to others that. they make ex-
periments in his method Of fertiliza-
tion.-BarnaUeU People.

THE GREAT BARGAIN HOUSE OF
RALEIGH AND THE WORLD.

l have Just returned from New York
with my goods, the money the root not
using the evil. Look into the past and
get a forecast of the future. We do not
CLAIM that this is a thunderbolt from the
clear sky, an electric light from the eye
of a cambria needle, nor the catch of a
base ball fly by the man in the moon, but
simply a few unanswerable facts gathered
from thirty years experience buying and
selling on time, and battleing with the
most gigantic, most hideous and uncon-
trolable of all the evils combined that hu-
manity is heir to, that great dragon the
time ledger.
Every week adds to the list l75 to $50
who fall before it's merciless passions like
brave Custer before the inevitable Vain
Hope with not one left to tell the story
of their daring noble deeds.
Having purchased my experience at a
cost of $40, 900 and many a restless night
holding the titles in fee simple to a S25, 600
claim scattered over the State of Virginia
and other States. To those who are drift
ing to that inevitable precipice lined by
that old serpent, Time, in the name of
God, let me call On you to hault. All are
ready to admit it's damning evils.
Now, / have but one word to state to
my friends of Raleigh and our surround
ing country: that is, [ buy my goods from
good houses who have buyers all over the
city of New York looking for all kinds of
goods that are offered at reduced prices.
These men are buying for me all the time,
which enables me to sell goods cheaper
than they can be manufactured.
Now, all / ask, is a call and inspection
of my goods, and | am satisfied [ can sell
you. Our Millinery Department will be
supplied with the most fashionable goods
in the market in New York and Balti-
more, and will be I'll by Mrs. Sarah King
and Miss Undine DeCarteret; the prices
will be lower than such goods were ever
sold before. The stock is far superior to
anything we have ever kept. 80

FARMER IN NAME AND PRAC-
TICE.

Some people say there is no money
in farming and other people say that
there is, and both opinions are right.
The profit or loss depends upon the
people engaged. For instance: Smyrna
plantation, in Bull Pond township, was
and is a magnificent tract Of land, rs
sure to yield fine crops under the old
system as a coal mine was to give
"black diamonds"
Under the tenant system, occupied
by men who sold cotton seed and
bought guano, it ran down until it
took three acres to make a bale. In
1885, Mr.. H. T. Farmer began to
plant it, and although most Of his
earlier life was passed in an atmos-
phere of general merchandise he has,
by his intelligent industry, so built it
up that last year he made a bale and
upwards on the most planted, and
zone of his land produced less than
a thousand pounds of seed cotton to
the acre. 1t has kept him busy, but
he has preserved his health and hap
piness and has higher hope than Eve
of his agricultural future. Mr.. Farmer
realizes that time is money, and tries
to save it and make every lick count.
He hauls home his fertilizers, cotton
seed meal and acid phosphate in the
winter and mixes it, half and half, on
the rainy spring days. He puts 200
pounds in the drill under cotton and
applies 200 more in June, thereby
securing a steady growth from begin
nlng to end of the season. This last
application he has found of great bene-
mt, as it supplies the plants with
needed food during the fruiting
season. This year he will throw it in
the furrow ahead of the scrapers at

A CLEAR-HEADED FARMER ON
THE SITUATION.

Mr.. EDITOR The stranger passing
through North Carolina-over the
railroads-is impressed with the thrift
and energy of our towns, and carries
the impression with him, that ours is
a prosperous State; when in reality
farming is at a low ebb, and "hard
times are common with those who
till the soil. This disparity between
the agricultural and commercial in
terest of our State cannot exist in a
time of substantial prosperity-their
interests are mutual; they must go
hand in hand-ene cannot be built up
at the expense of the other, for the
products, of the soil are the basis upon
which rests the wealth and prosperity
of our mercantile, manufacturing and
and shipping interests; destroy it and
you kill the goose that lays the golden
egg.
There is an incentive to all human
rational action: the hope of gain in.
duces us to strive for the accomplish
ment, of the object sought; but agri-
culture with us is on the retrograde;
the honest tiller of the soil fails of the
remuneration he is Justly entitled to;
he is impoverished and disheartened,
and sees no incentive to redouble his
energies. The farmer has lost his
Importance as a factor in his, the most
important industry of the country;
and his prestige must be regained or
abject poverty and serfdom is his
inevitable fate. There must be a halt
in this down grade; the brakes needs
to be put on now; and how shall it be
done, is the earnest enquiry of all con
siderate men. Economic, do you
say? Very good; but while many
doubtless carry a line of expenses that
might be curtailed, l submit, that
under the present system Of traffic, the
average farmer in North Carolina is
too poor to economic. He who has
the money in hand can economic in
his purchases, but if from year to year
he is obliged to buy on a credit, to be
worked out on the farm, he has no
volce in fixing the prices on his pur-
chases; and thus falls to the ground
the proud boast of this free country(?)
that it always takes two to make a
bargain" There can be no change to
better the condition of the farmer
with the present customs. Fixed
customs, such as run in the channels
of trade are hard to change; reasoning
has failed to do it, and the only alter
native is concert Of action and a de-
mand for justice, What then, you
ask, are these customs? Simply this
and no more: What the farmer buys
is priced to him, and what he sells is
priced to him, and by this custom, no
division in the profits of his labor is
accorded him. He occupies the iden-
tical position a merchant would who
buys and sells goods at prime costs,
and with a family to support grows
poorer every year.
[ have some other thoughts bearing
upon the effects of our internal policy
on the agricultural interests of our
people which | will submit in the early
future. CHATHAM.

While only a discrepancy of 1914 has
