PLANT LESS COTTON.

In season and out of season the news.
palsers of the South, of all parties and
all faiths, have urged the farmers to re,
duce the cotton acreage. The necessity
for a reduction is so apparent that it is
strange that all farmers do not act upon
il. The Atlanta Constitution has had
a number of editorials showing the folly
of big cotton crop. In its Sunday issue
it publishes the following sensible letter
from Mr.. William |. Holt, secretary and
treasurer of the Lakeside Mills at Bur
lington.
1--WE wish to congratulate you on
your able efforts to induce the farm
crs to plant less cotton, as we think
it the duty of every southern man
to do all i'll his power TO remedy
this evil that is bringing destruction
and poverty on our grand Southern
country. You will notice the foxy"
work of manipulatorS in running up
the price recently, with heavy re-
ceipts, when nothing warrants the
advance. These spectators do this
every season about planting time,
when Seven-eighths of the farmers
have sold their cotton, to encourage
planting and the farmer gets moth
ing out of it. Let another large crop
be planted this year and the price
will be to AZ cents, which would
reduce the finest country on the face
of the globe to pauperism. 1t is only
a question of about an hours time to
make the price of the whole cotton
crop, and with another large crop
Wall streets spectators will not fail
to make it low enough. 1t is in your
power to redeem quite host of hard
working tillers of the soil, as your
paper has wide circulation, and the
people of the south have Il high re-
gard for your opinion and many will
follow your suggestions. Hoping you
will make some effort about planting
time in getting them to reduce acre
age, we are, yours truly,

EDITORS OF AL PARTIES.

The Progressive Farmer seems to
think it is in an enviabe position for the
coming campaign, for it says Demo
Gratis, Republicans and POpulists are on
our staff of editors" If they are true
to the principles of their respective par
ties. we may expect a composite editor
ial in the Progressive Farmer something
like this:
''The gold standard has brought ruin
on the masses; the gold standard is Il
blessing to humanity; the government
ought to have strict control of railroads,
the government ought to own the rail-
roads. the railroad ought to own the
government: both the old parties are
corrupt, the Democratic party is the
hope of the country, the Republican,
PARTY saved the nation follow Jefferson
and he happy, in Hamilton is the true
way. PETER les the only true Prophet:
IA tariff for revenue only is the correct
system of taxation. a protective tariff
is a blessing. the tariff does not amount
TO anything anyhow" &c, &c.
One editor will denounce Bryan, one
denounce Mckinley, and all during the
campaign we may expect discordant
notes. IL there is a Democrat ON the
editorial staff, he has been SO silent as
to make it impossible for the reader to-
discern his presence. The readers
would like him to write at least one line
and sign his name.

THEY ARE COMING OUT FROM AMONG
THEM.

Ono of the most prominent Republic
cans of Davidson county, Mr.. @. G..
Wall, has written a letter severing his
connection with the Republican party
and says he will henceforth work and
act with the Democratic party. He is
disgr~ted with the Incompetent and scan
dalolls rule of the present State adj
ministration.
This is the kind of news that comes
from all parts of the State. There are
two white Republican magistrates in
Wake county who declare that they will
never vote another Republican ticket in
their lives. The truth is that if the real
conditions of affairs could be known to
all the people as it is known to the
readers of the daily papers, there would
be a political revolution in North Caro-
lima next November that would utterly
destroy the leaders who are responsible
for the deplorable condition that pre-
walls in North Carolina.

SILVER MEN TOGETHER.

Hon. Charles A. Towne, who was the
most eloquent Republican who walked
out of the st. Louis convention when
the gold standard platform was adopted,
is as we'll posted as to the attitude of
his colleagues as any man in the coun-
try. In a recent interview, Mr.. TOwne
said:
''For the present, the nation must
look to the silver elements for re-
lief. Only through them can any
permanent relief be had. To the
everlasting credit of the Democratic
party. be it said, since they threw
off the yoke of Cleveland. Carlisle
and others of that type of master,
that party organization has become
champion of the people, and l be-
lieve will remain so.
THE indications to-day are that we
will carry the next Congress
sional elections and also add to our
strength i'll the Senate. l do not
think that a single plank of the
Democratic platform of 1896 will be
repudiated in 1900. If anything, L
believe the Democrats will go even
further, and / believe that they will
nominate Bryan and so cooperate
with the other great silver clements
that 1900 viii see our cause victori-
ous and prosperity assured through
out our country"
This is in marked contrast to the utter
ances of the little North Carolina office
seekers, who, anxious to keep their jobs,
are prating that the Democrats are in
sincere in order to get some excuse for
voting with the goldbugs again. These
fellows have fooled the people for the
ast time. When men like Towne says
IKE Democratic party has become the
champion of the people, and / believe
will remain sc" the specious pleas,
made by offce-holders to keep their
obs, will not fool silver men any more.
