THE TILL HELPS THE FAR1ER.

The farmer is largely debtor to the
mill. They furnish competitive
market for his cotton, and North
Carolina farmers have this year
upward Of a cent per pound more for
their staple than they would have
received had they been dependent
upon New York and export markets
alone. This in addition to local
market for produce. Wise farmers
rejoice in the mill prosperity, which
is bringing SO many new mills to
their doors to buy their products. -
Rockingham Anglo- -Sanon.
This is the contention of the GOLD
LEAF. The factory helps the farmer
no less than the merchant, the
property owner and other interests in
the community where it is located.
Farmers cotton planters and truck
growers especially-ought to be the
most enthusiastic advocates and
supporters of the cotton mill in the
South.

LAST year the Post suggested to the
farmers of this State that broom corn
could be profitably cultivated in this
STAGE. Unit! recently the crop sold
for from $50 to $50 per ton, and there
was some profit at that price. Now
it has gone up to $40 to $3.50 per
ton, and is in demand at that price,
with the supply short. Suppose our
farmers had taken the advice of the
Post last spring and could each now
send to market some tons of the
useful commodity, it would be extra
"money' in their pockets which
would prove very comfortable.
We do not advise any one to quit
everything else next year and go into
broom corn, but few acres in ad-
dition to other crops will help even
up returns certainly.-Raleigh Post.

see no good reason why Henderson

indeed we may not secure the loca-

IF some papers would drop adver-
tisements from their columns when
the time paid for expires, perhaps said
papers would be valued more highly
as advertising mediums. Nothing
hurts paper more in the estimation
OF advertisers than the knowledge
that it carries month after month a
load of dead advertisements Better
devote the space to reading matter,
and if the extra type setting can't be
afforded reduce the size OF the paper
or quit altogether. Most any other

profitable.

TIE Warrenton Record has closed
the seventh year of its career-a
career of unsefulness and honor
usefulness to its county and honor to
its publisher. The Record has been
true to its trust, faithful to its town
and county and we are glad to know
its circulation was never larger or
the paper more firmly established in
the confidence and affections of its
people. And yet it deserves better
support than it receives, not because
of the personality of the editor or any
special merit he may possess, but be-
cause it stands as the public mouth
pice of its people holding up to the
outside world the interests its section
and citizenship as only a newspaper
can. and the better its patronage the
better the service it can render.

WHAT will our people do about
trying to secure the location of the
railroad shops here? 1t is worth
while to show some interest and
public spirit in the matter even if we
are not successful in the undertake
ing. If the railroad people find it
necessary to do so Henderson will
be made a relay station any how,
otherwise it will not. Not so with
the shops, however. Such an enter
prise will not come without some
effort and inducement to secure it.
