THE FOREST FIRES.

Copious showers having sub

Henry Meekins, an aged white
man, of humble circumstances,
but much respected, went in the
woods to fight fire on the goth

The damage to both farmers
and lum bermen was great. Many
of the farmers have fenceless

crop had already been planted,
and the season is now too far ad-

even foreigners who visit us and

ciety, are astonished at the reck-
lcssness with which Americans
spend their money. In many
respects things are different with
us from what they were in for>
mer times, the days of simplicity
and frugality, when our fathers
were content with the gains of a
legitimate business, and honesty
among the commercial classes
was the rule rather than the ex-
ception.

Everything in or around us

All the faculties of body and

by idleness. The idler is a

be dispensed with as we'll as any

The State Agricultural Depart
ment announces officially that
the quantity of fertilizers bought
by the North Carolina farmers
this year is unprecedented, ag>
gregating $2,5oo,ooo--nearly all
of this great sum going out of
the State. It is nearly double
last years business, and nearly
80 per cent. ahead of any pre-
vious year. Estimating cotton
at 5 per cent, and averaging the
fertilizers at low cash price, it
will take 10000 bales, or about
a third of the whole of last years
crop to pay this years bill for
fertilizers. Last year farmers
worked on a different line. Less
fertilizer was bought, more corn
and bacon were made and cotton
was more truly surplus crop.
The agricultural Department de-
plores the folly Of the farmers
this year who are cotton crazy.
Most of the fertilizers, says the
department, will be used in a
more or less haphazard SOFT of
way Oil cotton. It is a sort of
gambling on fertilizers and is
not true farming. But it is said
by some to be a mere waste of
time and words to argue with a
cotton grower.

Pull Together.

Rock Hill, S. c., is a model
town, and its advance fully de-
monstrates what can be done for
town or city when its people
pull together. In 1880 Rock
Hill had population of 800
souls, and seven years later it had
an assessed value Of taxable props
erty of $4,000, The amount of
home investments in cotton
mills alone foot up the handsome
sum of about $ooo,ooo or twice
the value of all the taxable prop>
erty of the town in 1887. The
annual business of the place is
$3,5oo,ooo.
The capital stock of the first
cotton mill erected sixteen years
ago was 100000. This mill
runs 200 looms and 8 900 spindles.
Another mill runs $40 looms and
| 1880 spindles, and still another,
which is worked on the co>opera-
tive plan, runs 40 looms on
gingha1ns, sheetings, towels and
white goods, and the plant IS
worth $4,000: A fourth mill
is nearing completion, and will
have 100 looms and $500 spindles
Added to these is a fifth mill
which is approaching compile
ton, the value of which is $685.
900. A buggy company, with a
plant of four acres of land, en-
gagged in turning out work which
is sold all over the South, and
not a great while since the citi'
zens of the town subscribed lib
orally to secure the State Indus
trial College, which cost $780,
900, and all this has been due to
the wonderful work and enter
prise of a place which in 1886
had population of 500 people.
The Atlanta Constitution, from
which these facts are taken, says
that the Rock Hill people never
tried to get up a boom. They
have simply made the most Of
their public spirit, enterprise and
energy. There are hundreds OF
towns in the South with greater
natural advantages which have
made hardly any progress il
twenty years. If they would put
forth anything like the efforts o.
the South Carolina town they
would now be equally as pros
porous.
The lesson taught by Rock
Hill, says our contemporary, is
this: When our towns begin tc
manufacture the raw material al
their doors they move forward
draw population and capital
give employment to. labor and
furnish the surrounding farmers
with a good market. This is
the royal road to prosperity. II
is open to all, and there are nc
obstacles in the way. It thinks
that there is not a town in the
South that could not forge ahead
in this line, and it is right.
When the people of any place
pull together there is no telling
how much can be accomplished
and the fact is fully demonstrated
IN the examples narrated above.
