ABOUT THE SOUTH.

Whenever d new industry is born
III the South or whenever one has
been firmly esta blished there is cause
for rejoicing. In the years following
the war cotton was raised almost to
the exclusion of other products. The
reason for this was that the people
were penniless and cotton was the
one crop upon which advances could
be secured. In consequence of that
condition Southern products were
less diversified after the war than
before that period.
Now, however, Southern farmers
are doing better, as the following
statistics of values for 1892 will
show: Cotton crop, 1915, 100000;
corn crop, $248,00O,OCO; wheat,
100000; oats, $4,000, 900;
tobacco, 500, 100000; rice, S1O,-
100000; Florida oranges, $780,
900; garden truck, fruit and yege
tables, $40, 100000. This makes a
total of about $4OO,OOO,OOO, the
cotton crop being little over three
fourths of the whole.
There is a prospect of further diver
sity. An expert has recently been in
North Carolina to see if this State is
available for raising hops. He re-
ports climate and soil good and be-
lieves that some of the New York
hop growers will locate in the cen
trail part Of this State. another new
industry suggested is the bean in
dustry and the need is pointed out
of planting such crops as peas and
beans because they are renovators
of wornout soil. So the prospect is
that we will diversity more and grow
richer.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the Week Ending Monday. June
10th, 1898,

The week ending June 18th was not
SO favorable to crops and farm work
as the preceding week The temper
allure was slightly below the normal:
sunshine deficient: rainfall generally
above the normal, with great excess
in some localities. A severe storm
moving up the coast on the 10th pro-
duced very heavy rains and high winds
in counties along the coast. Hail oc-
CURED on the 18th, 18th and 18th, the
damage generally being slight, but on
the 18th greatly injuring all crops on
few farms in the west. Frequent
rains in central and western portions
of the State greatly interfered with
harvesting of wheat and caused some
slight loss. Reports on tobacco very
encouraging; plants growing off nice
ly. Corn generally very good. Only a
few discOuraging reports received. AS
compared with last year all crops
seem to be in good condition.
In the Eastern District cotton is
growing slowly In the Central Dis
trict reports on tobacco are very en-
couraging and the peach crop will be
unusually large. In the Western Dis
trict the rainfall was above the aver
age and inteFfered with harvesting
wheat. Corn on bottom land was
damaged by rain: crops generally are
doing well.

AN HrsrOR1C EVENT.

The fourth of July, 1898, will De
historic in this State. At the Gull
ford battle ground there will be a
celebration of an important event in
Revolutionary history, and we trust
that the affair may be On as imPos-
ing a scale as possible. Monuments
are objec1 lessons. Every man is a
better patriot for lookingat one and
becomes thereby a better citizen.
Therefore We trust that the occasion
will attract a great many people.
We admire the patriotic impulse
which moved Ex-Governor Holt to
build a monument of native granite.
We congratulate the directors of the
Guilford Battle Ground company at
the practical completion of their
work. We hope that citizens from
every portion of this Old North State
will be present to testify their appre-
citation of good works.
The monument marks the spot
WHGEe ULe NOIUI OdIOlIub
rifemen under Major Joseph Wins
ton fought the Hessians and Tarle-
tons cavalry after Gen. Greene had
retreated from the field. 1t may be
well to state in this connection that
the general who commanded the
American troops was second to
Washington in his services in the
great struggle which terminated not
long after the Guilford engagement
in the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown.
The park which preserves the bat
tie ground consists of IS acres of
foresf and field. It's adornments in
clude Gen. Summers monument, the
Maryland monument, the Battle
monument and now the Holt monu
ment. The festivities will comprise
the dedication of the monument, au
address to the Confederate Veterans
Association, music, parade, games,
ETC. Let every patriotic citizen at
tend if he can.

THAT LIQUOR Law.

South Carolina is said to have
undertaken the most gigantic enter
prise ever assumed by State and
the greatest political experiment of
the times. The liquor law will soon
be in operation. 1t should be given
q fair trial. Efforts will undoubtedly
be made to prevent that. There are
some extraordinary features in the
measure. Outside of the two counties
which contain the largest cities, only
one dispensary Estate saloon) will be
allowed unless a majority of free
holders petition forit. 1t is thought
that the law will curtail the sale of
whisky about one-third, in other
words, will reduce it from 5000
gallons to a million. The net profit
is expected to amount to something
ike 81 900, 900 a year. This is an
extraordinary and peculiar income
for a State to receive. The dispen-
saries win open at z a. M, and close
at 6 p. m. and sales can be made at
night only in case of illness. Some
think that this liquor plan is meant

WE approve the following from the
Danville Star because we realize that
fraud cannot thrive so well in pub
licity as in concealment:
We believe Secretary Smith should
require that at each county seat
there should be posted a list of the
names of all who receive pensions,
and the nature of their disability
that enables them to receive them.
BY this means the people in the COM
munity in which the pensioner lived
would have an opportunity of seeing
and ascertaining as TO whether the
recipients of pensions were worthy of
them or not. The people would con-
stitute themselves into a committee
of enquiry, and help the government
officials in arriving at a safe and
proper conclusion in regard to
worthy and unworthy pensioners.

HIr. FergusOn's Saving Prayer.

FROM Inc oSdtlle 1IHles.
Away back in the early COS Mr..
Ferguson was defending a man
accused of beating his wife. The case
was on trial before a Justice of the
Peace, probably the same Justice
who decided that stealing a sack of
potatoes out of a canoe in the river
was piracy on the high seas" The
accused was convicted, and the
Justice promptly sentenced him to
be hanged
"But you can't hang a man for
beating his wife," exPostulated Fer
guson.
1.-The devil l can't" said the JUS
tice, bridling up. Amt he guilty :?
Oughtn't any man to be hung who
would beat a woman and that
woman bis wife? And amt ] the
only Judge in this county? If l
haven't got the power to haag a
man, who has, Ell? I'll hang him
within an hour; WON'T we, boys?, he
concluded, addressing the crowd
standing around. whose sympathies
were evidently with the woman.
"That we WILL" shouted the crowd.
Seeing that the case was beginning
to look serious for his client, Fer
guson said:
"Well, Your Honor, before the man
is hanged I'd like to take him out
behind that big tree and pray with
him."
.'AIl right" said the Justice; ard
off went the prisoner and Ferguson.
When they got behind the tree Fer
guson said in an undertone:
Now git, you ID bound. .
And he got.

MAKING WILLS.

Few persons have had such large
experience in the construction and,
we might also say, the destruction
of wills as Surrogate Ransom of New
York. His remarks are worthy Of
consideration and We therefore APP
pend the following quotation:
"Our law libraries are grooming
under the weight of textbooks and
reported decisions of courts of inter
mediate and appellate jurisdiction,
all devoted to the task of explaining
the meaning and legal effect OF wills
1t seems to me a man about to make
a will should realize the fact that
when his will becomes operative he
will no longer have any interest in
the property left behind, and that
any attempt on his part to keep
control of it or of its earnings is
utterly impracticable and foolish.
He should dispose of his estate in the,
simplest way. If he be very wealthy
and philanthropic, public-spirited or
charitable, or all three, let him ad
minister his own estate by giving it
away in his lifetime to his chosen
objects, vesting in his doners the
title absolutely. To my mind, the
testator unwittingly invites and en-
courages litigation by appointing
several executors and trustees, either
the same persons Or different ones.
If the estate be q large one. with
divers trusts to execute, investments
and sales to effectuate, disagree
meDt and contention is certain to
happen among these represen tatives,
ali of which would be avoided if but
one executor had been chosen.
Again, I believe the choice of natural
persons to serve ia these capacities
is q bad one Many women are
named as executives of wills, and it
is my experience that they know
little or nothing of business, rely
largely upon their own emotions and
intuitions and fall an easy prey to
the ever-ready and always conven-
lent confidence man and sharper.
Ny own judgement is that women
should never be compelled or per-
mitted to undergo the labor and re-
sponsibiIities of these positions.
am of opinion that good, safe trust
companies are the best executors,
etc., and by far the best guardians
of the estate of infants.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
From Bradstreet,s

IiptI DIdNlStESeIS
Baltimore: General trade is very
quiet. Merchants are scanning
credits closely, and conservative
dealers are not giving their usual
large orders for fall supplies Some
explain that they intend visiting the
Worlds Fair and will order what
they want in person; others that,
owing to the present state of trade
they do not like to order as former
ly, and prefer waiting until later.
The bulk of orders now being re-
ceived are mainly of ''filling III"
variety. Collections are but fair,
and at present there appears DO inn
mediate prospect of Improvement.
The banks claim the demand for ac-
cOmmodatiOn has neither decreased
nor increased materially since last
week; that they are only charging
per cent. on call and time loans, the
former being given the preference,
though it is understood that outside
the banks others are obtaining more
than per cent. on call loans.

THE APPOINTMENTS.

The contention for The principal
offices in this district is over and
Winston loses the colIectorship,
although it was known that Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Car
isle recognized the claims of tie
Twin City and the President wanted
to appoint a Winston man. While
no one can truthiully say that the
appointees have notsufficienta ability,
and no one has denied that they were
entitled TO political favor for their
party services, it is, nevertheless, a
matter of regret that Winston did
not get what she was justly and pre-
eminently entitled to. The inf1uen-
tial- office of collector with it's 300
sub-appointments, the men and
money it would bring to town every
day of the year, the constant de-
post of some 100000 in our local
banks, the name, the prestige and
the convenience which the location
here would bring to our tobacco
men, the new lite that the city would
feel, the prosperity of our mer-
chants and the other results which
would have followed the establish
ment of the collectors office, the in
creased probability of a public build
ing, are all gone. There has been one
more misfortune added to the i0n0
list which began with the destruction
of our finest business block and Il e
burning Of the Zinzendorf. Winston
has lost and the politicians have won.
