CATTLE RAISING.
There is No Safer Business.

The South is naturally adap'ed to
stock raising of all kinds, having ad-
vantages that are not surpassed by any
country on earth. In the first place,
land which will keep one or two COWS
can be bought just as cheap as the
land in the West, where they count on
ten acres to each COW, the common
cattle in the South are small, and if
4 person will spend little time look
ing around he could pick up herd Of
COWS at from SIS to SIS head say SI2
for an average. Suppose man would
buy one hundred COWS and breed them
to a thoroughbred, and sell his male
calves when IS months old at SIS
each and keep all the heifer calves.
In two years he would have 40 or As
half-blood COWS that would be worth
for mich COWS $40 or $50 each.
Milk is worth IS to 40 cents per gal
Ion in all the Southern cities and
butter is correspondingly high, so if a
person lived near a good sized town,
he could make money very fast selling
milk and butter If not near a city,
fix up in good shape to make first
class butter, and there would be no
trouble to sell all you could make at
an average price of 80 cents a pound
to regular customers.
If a man would start the business
with only 100 head of COWS, his sales
for beef and the value of stock on
hand at the end OF six years, would be
at least $4,000 over all expenses and
capital invested, to say nothing about
milk and butter and with proper
management a good profit could be
made On butter and cheese. The
native cattle of the South are hardy
and healthy. They should be i'm
proved by crossing with some thorough
bred animals that would raise the
quantity and quality of the milk and
the size of the beef steers. There is
no safer business and none that is
more profitable than cattle. When
our people will raise more and better
cattle, seed their surplus lands down
to grass and make hay, new era OF
prosperity will dawn upon them such
as they have never seen.

HOW TO RAISE CAPITAL FOR COT
TON MILLS.

The Manufacturers Record of Sep
temher 28th contains an elaborate
article on the organization of cotton
mill companies through the building
association or cooperative system.
The success of a number of mills in
North Carolina built on this system
has attracted SO much attention that
Mr.. ID. A. Tompkins, who has
organized number of these companies,
has prepared for the Manufacturers
Record comprehensive article cover
ing the whole subject, illustrated by
cuts Of the various mills built on this
system. Working in this way it is
within the power of every progressive
town in the South to raise sufficient
capital to build cotton mill without
depending on outside help. Mr..
Tompkins gives the full details Of the
plan He shows by the successful
record of the mills built on this system
that have been in operation for several
years, that the South can practically
become independent OF all other
sections in the building of cotton
mills. While this article deals more
especially with cotton mill enterprises,
the plan is equally applicable to Other
manufacturing industries. AS the South
is almost without savings banks, the
building of cooperative mills can be
made valuable combination O
industrial development and saving:

BE INDEPENDENT.
Think and Act for Yourself.
Monroe Enquirer.

Monroe Enquirer
Though thou hast ever SO many
counsellors, yet do not forsake the
counsel of thine own SOUL" In other
words let men think for themselves.
The advice of those who are older and
more experienced is of great benefit
and should be sought, but as no two
beings are constituted exactly alike, it
is not expedient for any man to rely
wholly upon the thinking of another.
Be yourself, honest and independent,
for thereby you will gain the respect
Of your fellow men and the appro-
baton of your own concience. Men
should be magnanimous, should have
respect to the opinions OF others, but
no man should allow the opinions OF
others to stand between him and the
truth and right. Had our fathers had
respect for the opinions of others there
would have been no civil and religious
liberty. Had Luther been guided by
the dogmas Of synods and the creeds
OF councils there would have been no
reformation. Had the Savior of men
(and we say it with reverence) had re-
spect to all the forms and usages,
ceremonies and tenets of his country
men, there would have been no re-
demption. Therefore, with all due
respect to the opinion of Others let us
realize that in this country of freedom
and of liberty that it is our imperitive
duty to think for ourselves. Every
man is king and every woman is a
queen of the royal blood of humanity
Assert your sovereignty. Be indie
pendent.

DEVELOPING THE SOUTH.
New York WOrld.l

The fact that during the last three
years there has been marked increase
in exports from Southern ports is one
of the most notable brought out at the
convention of Southern business men
recently held in Washington.
The South has felt the depression
through which the country has passed,
but has not been SO much affected by
it as the West, where the stimulation
of railroad building had been greater.
The development of the Southern
mineral regions which began under
Cleveland's first Administration took
on BOOM phases at times, but on
the whole the South has shown steady
and healthy growth rather than the
teverish activity of over stimulation.
The greater part of the immigration
OF the last twenty years has gone
Westward rather than Southwark,
because most of the railroad building
of that period was Westward. The
exception proves the rule, for Texas,
into which more miles of railroad have
been built than any other Southern
State, has been enormously developed
during that period in population and
IN facilities tor production.
As the last of the great tracts of
Government land in the West have
been absorbed in the opening of
Oklahoma, those who seek cheap
homes hereafter must seek them in the
South. The superiority OF the climate
in the Middle Southern States, the
absence of destructive droughts and
the variety of products give that
section great advantages. Undoubtedly
the time has come for greater activity
in Southern railroads and Southern
enterprise of all kinds that has vet
been seen.
The opportunities for Southern de-
velopment were never more favorable
than now, and Southern business men
are showing that they know how to
improve them.

"Why is He SO Irritable ."

This question is often heard and nearly
as often unanswered
1t is not always remembered, as it should
be, that the occasion of ill-temper and
irritability is often to be found in the
physical condition of the persons affected.

SENATOR VOORHEES,, Of Indiana, in
a recent campaign speech, uttered the
following enlightening truths in behalf
of justice to the Democratic party:
There is brutal and senseless spirit
of accusation in certain quarters at this
time against the Democratic party
because it has not, in the first eighteen
months of its legislative ascendency,
been able to uproot, tear down and
demollsh the entire system of vicious
legislation whereby the Republican
party for more than a generation has
practically revolutionized this Govern
ment, made it plutocracy instead of
a government of the plain people,
established privilege and caste in all
our public affairs, made the rich richer
and the poor poorer, aggrandized the
power of capital, and ground and
oppressed every organization of labor
and every branch of industry under
the American flag.

The following from one of our ex-
changes should be the battle cry of the
Democratic party now. 1t voices the
sentiment of every true Democrat. 1t
embraces the principles upon which
the perpetuity of the party rests:
Unfaithful stewardship in the Demo-
cratic fold should not be charged
against the party. The penalty should
be visited upon those who have betrayed
their trust. Let Democracy close up
It's ranks and keep step with the music
OF harmony. Differences within the
party fold should not he allowed to go
to the extent of opening to the enemy
a single avenue through which we may
be attacked. "-Fayetteyiile Observer.

No sooner did the Democratic party
take control of the Government than
the entire machinery of the Republican
organization was brought into requisi-
ton for the pur pose of breaking down
the Administration, and bringing the
Democratic party into disrepute and
this at the expense OF the country's
Interests. That this most unpatriotic
purpose was successful to very
damaging extent, was due to the fact
that the country had been brought to
the verge of disaster by the Republican
party before it was voted out Of power.
This desperate game has now been
played for all there was in il, and the
evidences are everywhere apparent of
returning prosperity under Democratic
auspices and observation-disclosures

FUSION is A COMPROMISE OF
PRINCIPLE.
I TarbOrO SOutherner.

lTarboro Southerner.l
The Shelby, Nebraska, SIN, Pop
ulist organ, disposes of the fusion
question as follows:
No fusion.
Fusion is suicide.
Fusion is cOWardice.
Fusion is damnating.
A correspondent in the Reformer,
a Populist paper published at Wilson,
commenting on the above says:
"That's right, brother, stick to it. If
there isn't anything in this fight but
offices the Populists had better get out
of it. That is what the Republicans
and Democrats are fighting for. There
is no fusion without compromise Of
principle. Nominate straight tickets
and if the minority party don't want
to vote for it let them join the other
old party
Fusion between the Populis,s and
Republicans in North Carolina is not
merely compromise of principles; it
is a complete surrender of principles.
The honest and self-respecting
members of the Populist party in
Edgecombe will condemn this cowardly
betrayal and dishonorable surrender of
the principles of their party. Candor
will compel the admission that there is
nothing but offices in this combination,
and we are reluctant to believe that
men like Mr.. M. ]. Battle, Mr.. J. NJ.
Cutchin and DR.. Mobiles will approve
the bartering of the principles of their
party for a seat in the United States
Senate tor Mr.. Butler.
THERE are honest men in the Popu-
list and Republican parties, and as
honest men they are not willing to
sacrifice their political principles-to
join so unholy an alliance or fusion
merely for the purpose of promoting
the selfish purposes of these shrewd
schemers. Every sensible man knows
that, if Butler and Pritchard could be
elected, each would nullify or kill the
vote of the other in the Senate, tor on
all national issues the Republican and
Popullst parties are exactly opposite.
If elected Senator Butler would vote
one way and Senator Pritchard exactly
opposite: that is, if each remained
true to his party. For instance,
Butler, if he remained true to the
Populists, would vote for free silver,
for tariff reform, for an income tax,
for the government ownership of rail-
roads, for the sub-treasury scheme,
etc. while Pritchard, if he remained
true to the Republicans, would vote
against all of these measures. Now,
how would this help either the Populists
or the Republicans Pittsboro Record
