IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT TO BE
TRIED AT CHARLOTTE.

TO the great natural advantages Of
the South, the propinquity Of raw
material for manufacturers and for
the power to operate the machinery
therefor, is to be added another adj
vantage. For several years Mr.. ID.
a. Tompkins, Of Charlotte, n. c., has
been developing an idea that the
baling of cotton can be eliminated
from the movements now necessary
to bring the staple from the field
into the shape of marketable cloth.
Tersclv stated, his idea is in effect
the manufacture of cotton in the
field. He is about to realize his idea
and has perfected arrangements for
the construction of complete plants
to work seed cotton as a raw mater
ial. 1t is proposed to construct
plants IN which the cotton will be
ginned, the seed crushed for OIL
meal and hulls, and the cotton spun
and woven The machinery for the
plants will be assembled in combi-
nation with Western and New
England firm, and it is expected that
the success of the undertaking will
reduce the cost of cotton manufac-
ture still further. In the meantime
the cotton mills Of the South have
experienced but little depression
from the political campaign just
ended.

A Good lotto.

A Maryland farmers club which
has ust celebrated its twentv-fifth
anniversary, has for its motto the
old proverb: Ito feed the land be-
fore it gets hungry; to weed it we'll
before it gets dirty. to rest it before
it grows weary-the marks of good
husbandman." AS might be expect
ed from an organization which finds
its inspiration in principles so just,
the club has done a great deal of
good for the section to which it be-
longs. The ideas SO pithily expressed
go a long way toward constituting
good farming. The man who keeps
up the fertility of the soil, who hus-
bands its energies by proper rota-
ton and who keeps it clean and free
from weed growth, is not likely to
tan IN other respects very seriously.
The points named are not ..all the
law and the prophets" but they form
a good share Of all around agricul-
tural teaching.

Death of Hon. r. r. Armfield, of States.
vi!Ie-an Able and Distinguished
North CarOliniap.
(Charlotte Observer, 10Th. }

Our news columns tell of the dea h
of Hon. Robert Franklin Armfield at
his home in Statesville yesterday
morning. He had been in declining
health for six or eight years, and his
death was not unexpected. Judge
Armfeld was born in Guilford county
July 9th, 1929, and was therefore in
his 10Th year He was reared on the
farm and was educated at Trinity
College. He taught school in his
early life, and afterward studied law
with Hon. John a. Gilmer. settling
at Yadkinville, where he commenced
the practice of his profession. He
was u member Of the constitutional
convention of 1861 from Yadkin
county and resigned from that body
to enter the Confederate army; en-
listed with Company B, Thirty
eighth Regiment. North Carolina
State Troops, and was elected first
lieutenant; was afterwards elected
lieutenant colonel of the regiment.
was wounded at .Shepherdstown in
October, 1862, and while at home on
furlough was elected solicitor of his
district, on which account he resign
ed from the army. In 1865 he moved
to Wilkesboro, where he practiced
law until 1890, when he removed to
Statesville, where he lived until his
death. In 1874 he was elected to the
State Senate from Iredell, Alexander
and Wilkes, and was chosen Presi
dent of that body, in the absence of
Lieutenant Governor, and presided
over it throughout the session. He
was elected to the Forty-sixth Con-
gress, and to the Forty-seventh, and
was afterward appointed to the
Superior Court bench, was elected to
it at the next ensuing election, and
served upon it with great dis
tinction.
1t is putting the case conservative
ly to say that Judge Armtield was
one Of the very ablest men in the
State. When in his prime he was
perhaps the very foremost criminal
lawyer in the State. Before a jury
he was simply overwhelming. AS a
Judge he was great. In appearance
he was singularly commanding,
carrying u IudSSlNc lCuu d1lU HdF 1uS
a face which told the most casual
observer that he was in the presence
of greatness There was no more de-
ightful conversationalist. He was
full of anecdote and Renaissance;
his wit was the keenest; as a re-
contour he was unapproachable. An
omniverous reader, and having a
memory which was marvel, he was
self-educated rather than product
of the schools, and while first of all
things lawyer, and a master of the
law, his mind was a store-house of
general knowledge.
SO great man and so engaging 4
personality are rarely found. When
the true history of the State is writ
ten, it will be recorded in it that
Judge Armfield was among the very
foremost of North Carolinians, living
or dead.

"LEST WE FORGET,LESTW WE FOR
GET"

''And now, what of Cuba and Porto
Rico, the Philippines and all the rest?'
requires the war correspondent, Peter
MacQueen. at the end of his strong
article in The National Magazimc for
November. 1--WE must get into the
current of history and guide with
wisdom the nightly ship that bears
the hope and fortune of the world.
General Wheeler and others have
shown how we may reasonably put
our army on par with the best in
Europe. The general verdict seems
to be gradually shaping itself into a
kinder judgment regarding the way
the army was handled at Santiago.
Grand old Admiral Cervera advises
Spain to cultivate the friendship of
America and initiate her virtues
Brown skin will soon no longer be
a disability for any man in any place.
The Porto Rican country lends itself
kindly to our many nervous folk in
winter. England understands us
now; and the rest of the world has a
wholesome respect for the nation of
merchants. We shall yet belt the
globe with colonies. The sails of our
commerce shall whiten every sea.
Inventions shall spring from the
fruitful life of our people like roses
from the juicy roots of June.
The best hearts are leading ma
ton. All the fever and hunger and
wounds were' on the programme
when our men went forth to war.
Let us correct the mistakes of the
past. The day of our expansion is
here. No Ion ger shall we lee small,
provincial and mercenary. Nights
candles are burnt out, and duskv
day stands tip-toe on the misty

ARE AMERICANS LOSING lNDiVID-
UALITY?

"Are the American people losing
their individuality" queries Joe NJ
Chapple, publisher of The Nufion0I
Magnzinc, in the November issue.
The onward tide of corporate and
concentrated interests in the past few
years has certainly presented a
serious problem. Without the tenn
per of a demagogue or with any in
diligence in i'll temper, the wide
awake people of the United States
are bordering and thinking. Even
the swirl of excitement occasioned by
the war cannot obliterate a growing
condition of affairs, that must be
remedied in some way, or it means a
revolution that will be serious and
far-reaching. The American people
are equal to the question. and
will eventually evolve the correct
solution. AS long as capital is con-
gestcd in certain centres and cor
porations swallow up and engulf
every appearance of personality and
individuality there are going to be
deserving ones to suffer and others
less deserving prosper, more because
OF fortunate circumstance than from
individual effort or merit in either
case. The National Magacine is no
alarmist. and does not seek the role
of .reformer;' but these conditions
deserve sympathetic consideration.
The average person is endowed or
inspired with an impulse to do good
in the world. The betterment Of
mankind is an appeal that always
meets hearty response. sympathy
is one OF the most susceptible forces
in human nature if it could only be
properly developed. But there-no
need Of despair and rant-a silent
and deep-running undercurrent-a
quiet and transformations force is at
work which will cause the pendulum
to swing back from maddening
craze for corporate monopoly to the
more equitable, old-time opportuni-
ties once offered the individual in
life"

LIE CASE OF MRS. BOTKIN.

The California courts having refused
10 honor Delaware's reQuisition for
Mrs. Botkin on the ground that she
was not a fugitive from justice, the
grand jury Of San Francisco has taken
up the case and returned an indict-
meut against her. Ii has been sug
gested that the criminal code Of Calt
fornia does net provide for a case OF
this kind, and that she may slip be-
tween the meshes of the law and es-
cape trial altogether. The murder OF
which she is accused was committed by
sending poisoned candy through the
mails from California to Delaware, and
Is similar, in a legal aspect, to that
which would be committed by a man
who should stand close to the bound
airy line Of one state and shoot another
man just over the line in an adjoining
state 1t would seem that in such
cases either state ought to have juris'
diction TO try the criminal, and II Mrs.
Botlln should cecape trial in Califor-
MIA, as ehe has escaped extradition to
Delaware, the result would illustrate
forcibly the difference between natural
and technical justice. In any event, it

dence as a celebrated case and prove as
