WHAT 1T DID.

1t occurs to the Citizen that while
a great deal has been said about the
Atlanta Exposition in the line of what
it was worth 10 the South, one point
remains untouched on. And that is,
that the South by that Exposition made
forever impossible further doubling,
in a fair spirit, of its possibilities. The
very fact that a southern city the size
of Atlanta could conceive and carry
into successful execution such an
Exposition proves the courage, the
energy and the liberalty of its people:
and it also goes to remove any reas-
enable doubt of the success of what
ever enterprise they may undertake in
the future. Further, as the EXPOSE
ton could not have been the great
success it was without the cooperation
of the South generally, the whole
South must be measurably benefited
and uplifted.
Again, great good was done by the
commingling at Atlanta of people
from all parts of the country. 1t is
generally. if not invariably the case,
that to like any people Of any part of
the United States better, one has only
to know them better. We are pretty
much of a kind after all is said, and
that kind is worthy Of respect.-Ashe-
vile CHiseR.

DANA on PULITZER,

The New York SIN paid lis respects
20 Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York
WorIH, last Friday, in style that is
vigorous and candid ifnot compliment
tary and respectful. AS the SIN is a
strong anli-Clveland paper, comment
on Editor Dana's little say to Editor
Pulitzer would be superf1uous. Here
it is:
PULITZER.
We presume hat the public under
standing Of Joseph Pulitzer as an
eneu.y ofthe general welfare, and Of
the welfare of this city in particular, is
sufficiently keen AMI widespread to
make what we wish TO say OF him on
this occasion Of timely interest.
In the existing crisis Of the affairs Of
the United States Treasury, when the
great banking interes of the whole
country, without single exception,
are standing compactly together in a
steadfast effort to preserve the national
credit and avert disaster: at such a
juncture it is that Pulitzer assails the
President and his Cabinet and accuses
them Of grosser treason and corruption
than the criminal Ingenuity of any
scoundrel beside himself could con-
ceive. He says as boldly as he dares,
and with the characteristic inuendO Of
his class, that the relations between
the great commercial and mercantile
leaders of this country and the indi
vidual members of the Administra-
ton are those of the brber to the
bribcd
The anxious scrutiny of the banking
situation by members of the Cabinet
he holds up TO the public obloquy as
the overtures of criminal guardians of
the Treasury to the despoilers waiting
to rob it. He ascribes no limit to the
infamy of the scandal that he repre-
sents the White House as frantically
hiding from an indignant and out
ragged public. As for Mr.. ]. Plerpon,
Morgan, the acknowledged and natur-
al leader of every great financial move
ment among us, he is pictured to the
public as powerful and unscrupulou:
plunderer of the public purse, man
devoid of conscience, decency or patrl.
otism. AS Mr.. Morgan stands fol
pretty much everything in this com
munity that is honorable fellowship
and valuable in public life, Pulitzer
rascallty We suppose, personally is in
different to him; but it is important tC
note that such is the course of Pulitzer
WorM at this particular time, wher
every business man in New York feel
that he has a personal stake in a grea
and critical national issue.
Pulitzer's idea of the occason is t(
print every conceivable SANDER ane
falsehood that he can lay his unclear
hands on, to distract the public with {
bogus list of subscripti for $4,000,
900 OF the Governments offer O
bonds, piece of lying that he hImsel
has not before surpassed; and to at
tack members of the Administration
with degree of reckless depravlty ant
vlllainy that should never be forgiven
by the people.

AS to the rumOred war, we cannot af-
ford to have war \ war with England,
while it would enable Il certain class to
reap large fortunes, would entail the
direst suffering upon the people To the

ruin. No nation can afford to go to war
except where there j. no safe Or honor
able escape. No wise or Christian nation
will suffer itself to be hurried into a
frightful conflict by the "frenzed ambi-
thirstiness of civilized savages." The
sober reason and humane feelings of the
people will crush the ferocity of the lin
goes and peace and amitv and concord
result.

THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1896.
WHAT SHALL WE RAISE?

This is an all important question
to be settled by our farmers at the be-
ginning of each year. Those who do
not appreciate the importance of this
query, but 60 on in cold ruts" are
frequently brought face to face with
adversely when more thoughtful
course might have brought prosperity.
Vance county is fortunately located,
geographically. We can raise success
fully all of the staple crops--tobacco,
cotton, corn, wheat, oats-and all of
the vegetables and fruits are grown
in perfection. 1t is possessed of rich
and diversified soils, adapted to each
and all of the above crops, and any
farmer who is economical and knows
what crops are best adapted to these
respective soils, can make money
farming in Vance county. To illus
trate our idea we will state that the red
lands around WILLIAMSBURG and down
Nutbush creek are and should be the
cotton, corn, wheat and oats raising
sections of Vance-in other words,
our "granary'' while the white
sandy lands should raise our tobacco
and enough of grain, ETC., for home
supply.
We have lands that are adapted to
the finest tobacco, wheat, c,rn, oats,
vegetables and fruits of any section
in North Carolina, and it only re-
mains for our people to apply a little
more business principles and plant such
crops upon these lands as they will
grow successfully. Oars is splendid
agricultural section and our people
should make big efforts to make the
most of their opportunities and to i'm
prove their conditions and fortunes
No finer tobacco can be raised in the
State than we grow. No finer cotton,
both as to staple and strength, can be
grown than upon our red lands. 1t is
said that our WILLIAMSBURG cotton can
not be surpassed any where. When
mills once buy it they want more.
So, with the finest and surest tobac-
CO market in North Carolina and our
new cotton mill, at our farmers doors,
why should they not look forward
hopefully to prosperous future and
renew their energies and redouble
their efforts to "empt Dame Fortune?'
