low-gradc cotton for bagging. This would
take about 10000 bales. The Increased

A QUESTION ANsWERED.

To the Editor Of The Appeal.
Did Locke aud Rorssruu have any influence In
the development y DbcrJy in Amerca2
II is more than likely they did. Locke,
a thinker within restricted methods, was a
philosophic force, and made himself felt
in all the higher thought OF his time in
England, and tried to impress himself on
North Carolina, and Rousseau, the shame
less one, yet an oracle Of the people, an
apostle OF liberty, prepared the way for
the sweeping and awful French revolu-
ton. The leaders in the American revo-
luton, an assertion Of individual liberty
maintained by arms, werc many, If not
most OF them. scholarly men OF thought
full habits, who, with the advantages OF
freedom from the restraints imposed by
the restricted social and bigoted religious
systems OF thai day in Europe, eagerly
seized on the works Of men who were the
pronounced advocates OF personal liberty.
Jefferson, who was the intellectual leader
OF the revolution, as Washington was the
military, was undoubtedly affected by
Locke's and Rousseaus theories Of gov
eminent. Though in the application OF
those Of the latter in North Carolina they
proved a failure, they were nevertheless
effective with man who scntentiously
reproduced an old English declaration,
and still older Kettle formula, that all
powers OF government wero devised from
the consent OF the governed. The thought
and spirit OF the ago was plainly affected
by Montesquicu, Voltairc, Rousseau,
Diderot, D'Alembcrt David Hume, Glib
bon and Bolingbrokc. The encyclopedias
OF France and the dcists OF England were
the oracles Of the people. Jefferson,
Adams, Franklin and Paine were largely
influenced by them, aud they reproduced
in all that they did aud said for American
liberty the best ideas of the literature OF

Canning Factories In Arkansas.

From the Arkansas Democrat
There are about twenty Of these canning
and oyapoating establishments that have
sprung up in Arkansas within the last
twelve months. They are a blessing to
every community. They are creators Of
wealth, every one Of them. They give
employment to men. women, boys and
girls, and enable many poor family to
have comforts and luxuues TO which they
have not been accustomed. They give
diversified crops and profitable crops 10
our farmers. which is certainly most de-
sirable consideration. They put money in
circulation in every little community and
give life and energy TO every department
OF business. Now, considering the advan-
tagcs Of these little factories advantages
that flow TO all claSses-it becomes us to
help them In every way possible. This
leads us TO remark that Il Is a pity that
they cannot be exempted from taxation for
term OF years Considering the impor.
lance OF such enterprises 10 the people OF
the south, and the fact that they are in
most instances supported by men Of small
means, We believe that such an exemption
would be n move in the right direction.

TRYING TO BRIGHTEN YELLOW
EEEER


The people Of Jacksonville, Fla, owing
to their Indifference or supneness, are in
the throes and agonies Of an epidemic OF
yellow fever, and seem to have lost their
heads. They do not recall any OF the ex-
pericnces Of other cities under similar cir
cumstances, and have resorted to the tom
foolery Of killing the yellow fever germs
by artillery, or smoking or burn
ing them out by great bondres.
This IL sheer nonsense. There Is
but one thing 10 do, and that is to dis
perse the population, il necessary at the
point OF the bayonet When there Is no
food for the fever IL will die out, but 80
long Ms there are men, women and chill
dren for IL 10 feed on il will feed and live
and thrive. Dispersal, isolation, the destruc-
ton by fire Of infected clothing, bedding
and Injected houscs-these are the only
means Of preventing the spread Of the
dreadful disease. The cannon and the
fires are childish. They belong to tine
Chinese and to past that seems as re-
mote Ms the tenth century, when oxcreta
was given as a safe medicine. Dispersal,
isolation and fire are the only rational
agencies for the destruction Of yellow
fever,
