HON. F. N. SIMMONS.

THE COMMONWEALTH has been filled
with Election news and observations
since the election, and has made no
comments on any ones work before
this week.
While The great democratic victory
was gained by the united effort of
the white men oi.the State tor reform
and good government, it is not too late
to say that much OF the glory belongs
to Chairman F. NJ. Simmons.
The COMMONWEALTH predicted Wet
DRY upon the selection of Mr.. Simmons
to lead the fight. There were great
odds against him, but no man in the
history o. tie State has made a more
determined fight or finished it more
successfully.
The people of North Carolina are
under lasting obligations to Mr.. Sim.
mons for the redemption Of the State
from the burdens Of inisfule and NAL
administration, nor will they be slow
to reward him for bis labors.
We now look out to the future with
full confidence that times are to be
brighter our homes happier; liberty
sweeter prosperity more certain; and
we all trust and believe that soon shall
the clouds be swept away by the soft,
sweet zephyrs OF peace, and the bless
ings OF prosperity anu good order shall
make glad cur land.
Thanks 20 Mr.. Simmons for his fear

MR.. TRAVIS U00b WORK.

The COMMONWEALTH has not yet
taken time to review any ones work
in the la;e campaign but we now gave
place for word of commentator for
Chairman E. L. Tfavis, Of Halifax.
The News 4 Observer said that Mr..
Travis marched at the head of the pro-
cession In the jubilee in Raleigh last
week. He was given that place in
honor of the great dem ocratic victory
achieved in Halifax.
Every true white man in Halifax
county feels under obligations to Mr..
Travis for his untiring work in the
campaign which he so successfully
conducted in the county. He had
heavy odds to meet, and some said
there was no need of trying but Mr.
Travis in the spirit of "whe1e there's a
will thers's way" went persistently
to work and never relaxed his efforts
until the victory was complete.
THE COMMONWEALTH with the en-
tire Democratic party of the county
and the State, thanks Mr.. Trayis for
his untirlng energies and his success
full efforts Tor the great victory.
He will take good position in the
State Senate of which he is a member
elect, and we predict that North Caro-.
lima will know Mr.. Travis better through
his work in the Senate than through
his work as Democratic Chairman OF
Halifax.
While all praise is given to Mr..
Travis let us not forget the good work
of the speakers in the county, among
whom ought specially to be mentioned
Mess. w. A. Dunn and Claude Kitchin
O. Scotland Neck.
Indeed, thanks are due Democrats
all for the glorious victory which we all
enjoy.

A WORD TO FARMERS.

THE COMMONWEALTH tries to be
true to all classes, and tries never to
offer any but good suggestions.
For several years we have been try
ing IT, induce farmers to plant wheat
III .his community. We are quite
sure that this would be one of the
wisest steps our farmers could take
towards home independence,
Our opinions on this subject are
corroborated by the observations of
persons in other sections o: the coun-
try. For instance, the Charlotte OBJ
server quotes the Greenville, Is. CO.
News as saying that the farmers are in
much better condition in that COM
munity since they have been planting
good quantities OF wheat and have es-
tablishe1 good roller-mills for convert
ing the wheat into flour.
The Charlotte Observer quotes the
following from the Greenville News:
The grain crops we made in this
country this year saved us from desti-
tuition. Because of them We have
avoided actual suffering and people are
in fairly good shape even With cotton at
4 J cents. Flour, meal, oats and hay
will be exported from here in large
quantities in year or 80, while we
will be buying cotton from distant
points for our mills. Eighteen years
ago Greenville shipped 10000 bales of
cotton In season and received hun
dreds of car loads of corn, bacon, flour,
oats and hay. Now she does not ship
bale of cotton and is receiving 1t by
rail in steadily increasing quantities.
On the other hand she is receiving less
supplies and fertilizer every year be-
cause our own mills are making and
selling fertilizer and our own farmers
are making feed for man aud beast.
We will soon have it to sell.
The Observer wisely adds the fol-
owing:
The most prosperous counties In
North Carolina to-day are those in
which diversified system of agricul-
ture prevails and whose farmers raise
cotton, not as the main crop, but as a
side issue-a producer of pin money
as 1t were. The number of these
counties has been gradually increasing
and very soon large majority of the
counties in this State will be on a
solid basis. There is no expectation
that the cotton crop will be decreased.
On the contrary, it Is likely to become
larger as the mills multiply, but cot
ton will no longer be the farmers
main dependence. He Is turning his
attention more largely to the cereals,
grasses, and live stock-his idea being
to make enough of all productions for
his own consumption and with some
to sell, and to pocket his cotton money
as so much clear gain, instead of pay
ing off mortgages with 1t as formerly.
In Mecklenburg, the change to the
new order Is being steadily accom-
plished and since the establishment of
the roller Touring mills here, Mecklen-
burg Is rapidly developing into a
wheat county. The old order of
things on the farm is fast being re-
versed. The farmer is on the right
track and is in good way to work out
his own salvation, regardless of free
silver and the tariff.
