RETTER FINA NCIAL
CONDITION.

The Manufacturer Record OF Balu-
more has recently sent out through the
South letters of inquiry concerning the
financial condition of the country.
Letters from all parts of the South we're
published by that paper last week
showing that agricultural interests OF
the South are in good shape, the farm
ers are less in doubt than they have
been for many years; there are album
dant supplies of corn and other provls-
ions for the next year and the farmers
generally are in a better condition and
ON \ safer basis than they have been
for :cry many years.
This is doubtless true representation
of the case. for those letters cover the
whole southern field from Maryland to
Texas. And while the prices OF cotton
are distressingly low, the farmers can
better bear up under 1t than they could
have done six or seven years ago before
thew got back to the old plan OF raising
their supplies at home.

ABOUT WESTERN Discomfort

The December number of The Forum
is filled with choice articles. Among
the most interesting articles Is one by
J. H. Garfield, Chancellor OF the Uni
versitv of Nebraska, at Linconton, us
the West Discontinued? A Study OF
Local Facts" IS the subject OF the ar
ticln. Chancellor Garfield shows by
facts gathered from his own observation
in Llncolnton, city OF 10000 people,
and In the rural districts, that there Is
nothing like the discomfort IN the West
that most people believe. He has
found BY investigation that the most OF
the discomfort is in the ranks OF the
agricultural classes, and that only a
small per cent. OF them are living in
actual discomfort We quote
at Is not probable that the hard
times have borne much more heavily
upon the farmer during the last few
wears than upon business men OF all
classes but the farmers as whole
have had less reserve power with which
tO.meet the struggle. Even IN Nebras-
ka. however. there have been fewer
men sold off from their farms than have
been sold out of their stores there has
been less money lost, in proportion to
the amount lent, by those who have
given credit to the farmers than by
those who have extended credits IN the
business world and it Is not too much
to saw that there has been more honesty
and manliness III connection with tinan-
cial transactions among farmers than
among those in the business world
The farmer who can fail, yet continue
to live as extravagantly as before, keep
ing his horses, carriages and servants
and his place in all social functions, i!
a rare sight
To make his investigation more thor
ough Chancellor Garfield made broat
inquiries as to the condition OF thu
people in Nebraska, and he says on thi
point:
There seems to be no question tina
the people of this State are almost to
family better off than they were tel
or fifteen years ago. AS far as bein
able to give their children better edu
cational advantages than the parent
enjoyed, ali correspondents answer tina
the educational systems Of the presen
are far in advance of those Of the past
land that the child of the humbles
citizen has better opportunities to-da
than most of the children of even tn
well-to.do classes of fifty years ago."
Such a review of the situation in tn
far West by SO eminent authority
indeed refreshing to North Carolin
readers. who have heard and read 6
much of discomfort and revolution i
