enable that our farmers and
planters should follow the all
cane or all cotton policy or alli-
ance so long as the margins were
very wide and the profits in any
one season might entirely cover
the greatest disaster of any other.
Now, however, we find all this
changed, and when a serious loss
occurs we find the profits are SO
small that years of earnest efforts
are required to recover from
them. The time for conservative
farming has come, and every
cultivator of the soil in the
Southern States should endeavor
to produce practically all of the
staple home supplies that he re-
quires. When this is done, we
shall not find the whole country
lamenting over FIVE cent cotton
and three cent sugar, and dollar
bag rice, as we have been doing
during recent years.

FAIR FEVER.

All the county fairs this year
have been attended by signal
success. We may think the hard
times would prevent large crowds
of people attending places of
amusement and recreation, but
the contrary is true. The hard
er the times the more people teel
the need of recreation Shows
and sports of all kinds catch the
crowds this year.
Our people want a fair and the
gentlemen in charge Of the E1iz-
abeth City Fair intend to give
the people a good entertainment
at hard times prices. 1t will
come just before the people
house up for winter, yet the
weather generally about that
time is in the soft Indian SUM
mer glow.
AS our fair closes the fair sea-
son this year, we are likely tc
get a great many attractions IN
the way of stock, trotters, h1cy>
cles and other drawing features
Let the people get ready.
The boys should put up their
chickens, pigs and calves. Let
the ladies get up the preserves
butter, bread and jellies. Let
farmers gather the best OF al
their products and arrange them
lin the best order. The mer'
chants will beautify the halls
with unsual attractions.
Let all talk and work for the
Elizabeth City Fair from no"
until the event.

The writer arrived at his home
in Rockahock On Wednesday,
the goth ulto., just in time to
attend one of the most interesting
and spiritual meetings that has
ever been held at Rockahock
Church. DR.. Speight had en-
gagged the services of Rev. l.. NJ.
Curtis, of Aulander, who preach
ed with such power and fervency
that the church was greatly re-
vived and many sinners were
converted from the error of their
| ways. At the close of the meet
ing 81 happy converts obeyed
their Lord and Master in the or
dinance of baptism, and two
wandering ones were restored to
the fellowship of the church.
Bro. Curtis very much endeared
himself to the people of this COM
munity and his visit will long be
remerl bered by the hundreds
who enjoyed his splendid preach
ing He is a preacher Of rare
gifts and splendid attachments
and has the power to command
the attention of his audience

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

Hon. r. w. Mason, Democrat
ic candidate fol- Lieut.. Governor,
and Hon. Locke Craig, Bryan
and Sewall State Elector, spoke
at the Court House Wednesday
night, under the auspices of the
Democratic Club. Although
only a short notice was given the
hall was packed. Mr.. E. F.
Aydlett, in a few we'll chosen re-
marks, first introduced Mr..
Craig who, for one and a halt
hours, held the entire audience
almost spellbound. His speech
was eloquent, his subject grand
and his argument unanswerable.
One by one he took up the oppo>
sltion arguments and answered
them clearly, plainly, conclusive
". His hearers were with him
at all times, and the applause he
received was at times deafening.
He closed amid a whirlwind OF
applause by predicting the elec>

ticket-both State and National
There have been many great
speeches delivered in Elizabeth

critics say Locke Craig beats
them all.

ability. The meeting adjourned
amid cheers, and everybody went

FARMING VS.. PLANTING.

Cultivators in the South have
generally rather wholesale ideas,
the result of the great agricul-
tural advantages possessed by us
in our soil and climate. Most
of them have but little idea OF
how difficult it is to make a
clear profit by tilling the soil; Of
how rarely any considerable
profit is made and how frequent
ly losses result.
In a recent issue Of the Amer
lean Agriculturalist gentleman
writing to that journal from Lo-
gan county, Ohio, said that he
had kept a careful account with
his farm for fifteen years; that
the last season was the worst of
all, bringing with it poor prices,
drought and insect pests. Yet,
in spite of this, the farm paid a
net profit Of over 6 per cent. On
the $4,000 invested in its 100
acres and outfit. The farms ex-
penses for the year were 1898,
including farm supplies, repairs,
hired labor and taxes. There
was sold from the farm solS in
produce and at the end of the
season there was as much or
more on hand then as at the
same time the previous year.
The gentleman considered that
the house rent and most of the
food for the family from the
farm offset his own labor, and
thus on his $4,000 he cleared
about $500.
What would farmer in any
one OF the Gulf States, owning a
farm worth 1000, entirely paid
for, think of his prospects if he
were told in advance that he
would realize $500 per annum
for the use Of his farm and his
personal labor, over aud above
any value he might include fol-
rent for the house he occupied
and the food he consumed? The
farmers of the Gulf States dc
not figure that way. They
would most generally figure on
making 81 900; would 60 in debt
in order to make a sufficiently
large planting, such as might
produce some such profit in very
favorable years, with, unfortu
nately, the general result that
they do not come out even with
the $500 made, as was done by
our Ohio farmer just cited.
The wonderful opportunities
for profit in agricultural pursuit:
| in the South lead almost every
cultivator beyond his depth. Toe
much land is bought On credit
too large all area is placed under
cultivation; too much money i:
paid out for hired labor, and the
result is that three times out O
. four. if not more frequently
some unforeseen disaster befall:
the venturesome farmer; he get:
heavily in debt, and has to labo,
the rest of his life to recove,
, from his reverses. frequently fail
ing entirely.
Contrasting the opportunitie
that offer themselves to farme
in the Gulf States, who would b.
as we'll situated financially as The
Ohio farmer herein referred to
with the opportunities of thu
latter, it is manifest that double
or triple the revenue of the Ohio
: man could be obtained with com
parative certainty, and yet We
5 find very few Southern cultiva
: tors willing to proceed along
such conservative lines. AS I
rule, nothing but necessity will
lead people into conservative
farming. In fact, it seems reas
