HOW ABOUT IT NOV ?

One wear AGO there was much dlssat-
i-raction amongst all classes Of people
II the pnce OF cotton. Farmers SAID
constantly that they could not do thus
and - with 4 cent cotton And tru-
IL they could not do much.
But manv, strangely enough, charg-
ed the low price of cotton against the
Government and the financial condition
Of the country: and Popullsts all the
time stuck to it that supply and de-
nand had nothing to do with 1t.
Now that the price of cotton is
twice what 1t was year ago, do these
same persons who blamed the govern
nent and the no,noor,tio odn1iniotra
ton for low prices, applaud the same
government and the same administr2-
ton for the good prices of cotton?
We have tie same financial system
ana the same environments, 50 far as
the government is concerned, but the
entire cotton crop of the country is
quite short Does it not now look like
supply and demand regulate prices
somewhat
80 one can lie more delighted at the
improved cotton market than We anC

orr grumbling friends to the lact tha

4BOTT THAT WHEAT PA Ten.

IT i now time to begin TO prepare

reminds its farmer readers that wheat
culture Is a very important part OF their
work.
We hope to lee a fair wheat crop II
this community next year. We are
persuaded that il the farmers would
once raise wheat successfully they
would he slow to abandon it.
It IS no longer necessary to assert
that the farmer who raises All hls home

THE NEGRO AND FREE
SCHOOLS.

The South has done much for the
colored race since the war. In the
matter Of education alone the colorod
people have been greatly blessed. They
pay about One-thirtieth Of the pubic
school money in the South and receive
nearly half Of It for their schooling.
" hoover tries to make the colored peo-
pie dissatisfied with their treatment at
the hands of the whites in the South,
is really an enemy to both races.
Mr.. F. ID. Winston, Of Windsor, IN a
speech to the colored people at then
Agricultural Fair at Conway last week
made correct reference to the showing
the colored people have in the South
He also gave them some very whole
some advice. Among other things he
said
"N-hcn the United states govern
ment lent Its aid to the great Worlds

III IS IT SO2

Til, DEMOCRAT gives weekly, as re
ported through the Manufacturers
He@ord a brief review of the new in
Custrie5 in North Carolina. It must
have struck our readers as a fact a lit
tie strange that there are so few cotton
mills III Eastern Carolina. Almost all
the cotton mills III the State are west
Of Raleigh. Eastern Carolina is a great
cotton rrcducin. section Of the State.
and vet there are so few mills here
with which to utilize the cotton. It has
been stated. we believe. that there
are Gotten mills enough in Cleveland
county to consume all the cotton raised
in that county. Y matter OF fact,
too, cotton sells for at least dollar a
bale more IN Cleveland county than in
Halifax, or any other eastern county.
Now. suppose Halifax county had
cotton mills enough to consume even
h3lf the crop produced in the county.
and the price OF cotton should so be a
dollar bale more than it Is. It would
take only a few years to save large
amounts Of money to the farmers of
the county directly in the sale of their
cotton, besides being means OF fur
nishIng employment to many people
who are now not protitably employed.
This III turn would bring money into
circulation and every one would feel
the effect
The DEMOCRAT hopes to see cotton
mills take their proper place Tor loca-
ton, namely in Eastern Carolina where
the most Of the cotton crop of the
state Is produced.

Inter.state ra,r At rrentnr.

The great Interstate Fair at Trenton
grows moro extensive and important
each succeeding year, and tho exhibit
tion to be held from September 3Oth,
October 1st, I'd, Sd and 4th promises
to be unusually attractive and compre-
hensiye. Every department is replete
with interesting and instructive sights.
The blooded stock is particularly fine,
and the daily programme of races con-
tains the speediest classes obtainable.
Circus acts of rare merit and daring,
and vaudeville entertainments of all
kinds will be presented. The large
purses offered for supremacy in the
manifold species of exhibits and con
tests insure earnest efforts in the en-
deavor to prove superiority and excel
lence in the various departments. The
Pennsylvania railroad, as is its yearly
custom on this occasion, will sell ex-
cursion tickets at greatly reduced rates
from many Of it's principal stations
within wide radius, and special trains
over the New York Belvidere & Am
boy divisions will be run direct to the
grounds. The tracks of this company
are the only ones within three miles.
Extensive preparations have been made
by both the management Of the fair
and the railroad company for the accom-
mediation and the convenience of the
thousands who will not fail to attend
an affair of such increasing importance.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. a. A special
to the Tribune from Havana. Sep
temher 10th, says:
Armed parties of reyolutionists are
already in tho province of Matanzas
and actually within 10 miles OF the city
of Havana. or greater Importance Is
the reported advance into tho province
Of Matanzas. If as it is said, they
have quantities of arms and munitions
there concealed, and if they are really
advancing in force, the crisis is not far
olf
Yesterday morning at O'Clock, while
the steamer Santa Barbara with the
battalion of Tetuan, LOCO men, was
waiting outside the harbor, the gov.
crnmental chief of police suddenly call
ed in his inspectors and chief officers
and at 2 30 O'Clock these, with rein
forcements from the municipal police,
went off rapidly in many directions.
Eighty-fiye persons were arrested by
them within few hours and are CON
fined in cells in the Mora Castle
Rumors were soon flying around that
a great conspiracy had been discover
cd and that the initial step was to have
been attackswith dyamite on the Santa
Barbara or on the battalion. 1t is said
documents ineulcating important per-
sonages have been found. 1t is also
said that large quantity of concealed
arms and munitions have been seized.
The sequel to the arrest came at mid
night, when there was a frightfu ac-
cident in the harbor-the sinking of
the Spanish cruizcr Barcaeztegui, by
which Al lives were lost. Z, This terrible
affair, coming close on the heels of the
arrests, has caused profound alarm.
While official reports leave little
doubt the collision was accidental,
nevertheless it is strange coinci-
dence, at least.
The question is asked how the Nor
terra should have been attempting to
enter the port after it was closed, and
there are those who say it was better to
send Spanish cruiser and an ad-
miral to the bottom than even troop
ship.

GRAIN oRoP or raE WoRLn.

The United States Wheat Crop Fails on
slightiy-rhat of Great Britain and Ire.
land is Poor-Egypt win Have Wheat to
fixport-In Other Countries.
AssocatedPress Dispatch BY Special Wires
Washington, Sept. %. Consul Gen
eral Max Judd of Vienna has forwarded
to the Department of State a report
on the grain crop Of the world for 1895,
compiled from the report of the annual
international Grain Fair, which Mr..
Judd commends AS trustworthy.
The abstract furnished by Mr. Judd
shows that the wheat, rye, barley and
oats crops of Europe are somewhat below
the average while corn is exceedingly
promising, and it is expected that the
yield will be one-half again as large
this year as it has been on an average
for 10 years.
Canada shows an increase of about
6,000, 600 meter centners in wheat,
while India shows loss of about
double that quantity, both as compared
with 1894. Most OF the Russian prov
inces indicate an incresse in wheat
and rye. The Australia Hungary wheat
crop is poor in quality and less in
quantity than usual.
A lighter wheat crop is also indicated
in the United States. The French
wheat crop is estimated at 9s per cent
rye at 80, and oats at 95 per cent. The
wheat crop of Great Britain and Ire
land is put down as poor and is esti-
mated at from 40 to so per cent of the
average. The English barley crop will
be better than the wheat crop, but the
quality will be poor. Egypt win export
considerable wheat.
Ii is anticipated that the loss on
wheat IN India and the United States
will be compensated for by the gain in
Canada and Russia, and that taking
this corp throughout the world, the
result for the year will be about equal
to the average season.

The Warwick Cycle Club, which now
has membership of nearly rs, is ar
ranging for a road race and number
Of track events at Hazel Dell track. on
Saturday, October 9Th, and as it will
probably be the only event of the kind
that will occur here this season it is
likely to be very successful one.
The principal event will be 10 mile
road race over the course usually Sc
lected for such events Of the kind, the
first mile or two on the track, then on
the New Castle road, and the finish on
the half mile course. 1t will be limited
to club members only. There will be
at least five track events, and probably
more, and one Of them which will at
tract unusual interest from Wilmington
ians vii be an effort Of Frank Turner
of this city to lower the mile record for
Delaware. The record at present, .. %,
was made about two years ago by Car
roll B. Jack on the kite track at Kirk
wood. The latter course is much faster
than Hazel Dell, but Turner has been
riding in excellent form this season,
and his admirers feel certain that his
effort on October 9th will prove sue
cessful.
A special train will leave the p, W.

will begin at 2.30.
