RATHER 4 GOOD RAKE.OFF.

Mr. P. J. Moran, in an article in the
Atlanta Constitution, says; Gas an
illustration OF the manner IN which the
farmers Of the country have lost here
tofore, it is only necessary to repeat a
statement recently made by Mr.. Hes
ter, OF New Orleans, that out OF an
nual cotton receipt Of one million three
hundred thousand bales in that city
over tblrty-sayen thousand bales were
made up cut OF samples which had
been rutblessIy plucked from the bales
BY he men who handled them, which
should have gone into the parishes OF
Louisiana" Not the least merit of the
american Cotton Company's Round
lap bale is that besides its other econo-
mics 1T prevents this unjust tribute
tron being levied on the farmer.

"Wi,ere are your wheat fields?"
Such was the question Of a gentle
man OF observation few days ago, a.

agricultural region like this ought 10

And the opinions remain the same.
With the success that has attended
the efforts Of the farmers who have
raised wheat this year, we think Others
ought to be encouraged to plant wheat
this fall.
This is a good season OF the Sesg in
which to lay plans tor planting wheat.
Wheat land ought to tie we'll prepared

Wien this is done, there will not be s..
much complaint about failure to make
wheat. To be sure, one need not ex-
pect such crops and at such little cost
as are gathered from the wheat lands
of the western states; but say what
you may about home-raised supplies,
| they are cheaper than bought supplies,
if there is anything ike a half yield Of

results.
| For two hundred years it has been
believed that tobacco could not be
raised in Eastern Carolina successfully
but the experience with it for the past
few years has shown this to be one Of
the finest tobacco sections in the State.
Somewhat similar results might follow
a careful and persistent trial of wheat
culture. Perhaps the farmers have not
studied the wheat question as they
might. At any rate it Is a gooti season

OTHER PLACES CAN DO IT.

Almost every day one may see ID
print reference to the great develop
rncnt Of Charlotte. It's industries arc
well advertised by the press generally
in the comments made on that city as
an object lesson and as an pie
of what can be done by cooperation.
Charlotte has done It's best and most
prorresslve work in the cotton milling
business. That industry was com,
monced there little over len years
ago, and now Charlotte is regarded as
one of the leading industrial cities In
the South
The work was commenced on the
cooperative plan. The writer remeul
bers that while in that city some eight
or nine years ago a gentleman of eD<
terprise showed aim some Of the Nil
ling Industries there, and related how
on certain evening number oi c:ti-
zans of the town were together and the
cooperative plan WAS suggested By
which to build cotton mill! It at
once materlallzed ana several splen-
iidly equipped mills then were the
monuments to the plan. Since that
time many other such enterprise
have been established, untiI Charlotte
is now the pride OF the State.
Now, what has been done in Char
lotte can de done in other places. II
be sure, every place in the State ca:
not establish and maintain IS man
various manufactures SIS Charlotte
but according to population and loca-
ton other towns can DO So On a scale
commensurate with the money thai
can be secured.
There is too much tInidity in some
places about putting money together
Some persons are much afraid thai
when they pat their money into Ger
tain pntprnrises with other persons
they will not see it again. While il
it is sometimes true that such is the
case, it is not always so; and in sucf
cases proper business vigilance woulc
remedy 1t.
Let more places follow Charlotte

ROAD WORK WITH JAZZ BIRDS
A SUCCESS.

For some weeks Mr.. w. F. Parker,
!. chairman OF the Board of county COM
missioners, has had squad OF eight
Jail birds working the roads near En-
field. It IS an experiment with Mr..
Parker and whose utility some doubt
eed but Mr.. Parker thought that ifthey
could be put to work on the roads with
about the same cost to the county, it
would be an economy that ought to
be regarded. He says now that En-
7 field offers $50 for them for one month !;
and they will be hired to that town
for that time.
Mr.. Parker says they have done
some good work and thinks it the very
best solution of the question about
what to do with criminals sentenced
to Jail as punishment for crime.
The COMMONWEALTH has all tire
while thought that strong men ought
not to be allowed to lie in Jail, grow
sleek and fat at the connty's expense
and do nothing.
We believe this is step in the right
direction, and we hope to see 1t en-
couraged by the people of the county

coon CITIZENS SHIP.

Webster's definition Of Il "cltiZen" Is
this: "a person, natl}e or natural
lied, who has the privilege OF voting
for public officers, and who is qualified
to fill Offices in the gilt OF the people
also. any native born or naturaliZed
person, of either sex, who is entitled to
full protection In the exercise and en-
ioyment Of the so-called private rights.
Coed citizenship implies a proper
appreciation Of its privileges and rights
and faithful personal guardianship
over the same.
To be good citizen ought to NEAR
the same for the State that TO be
good husband Or father means to the
home. 1t implies muc'i more than {.
simple existence as such it implies
that appreciation which will develop
ones life into the best tina. can be
made of it. He is gooi citizen" is
high compliment to be passed upon
any one. 1t Is to be feared that it IL
often passed when it is not fully de-
served.
But what is good citizenship? Well.
Webster's first definition of citizen Is
that d man ''has the privilege to vote
for public officers" But the privilege
to vote simply does not bespeak goof'
citizenship, so far as that right goes, OF
the part of him who exercises it, unless
proper care Is also exercised in The
manner and spirit OF his voting. With
large per cent. of the voters Of this
country now, the privilege to vote is
the chief end of life. They are willing
to have any other right abridged be-
fore the right to vote.
And, sad to say for our country's
good, many who look upon the right t.
vote as the supreme blessing to mort:,'
man, give the least heed to how the:
vote, for whom they vote, or what is t.
be the result of their voting. Many Il
man who casts his vote at an election,
municipal, state or national, does s.,
with no thought whatever of the good
or the bad that is to come Of it; BIT
votes because others vote, or because
he fears ii he does not cast his vote liEe
others he will not be quite SO big man
as he will by voting.
The right to vote and the exercise ct
that right ought to be seriously COR
sidered by every American citizen IS
often as he approaches the ballot boz.
1t Is not the part Of a good citizen to
cast his vote carelessly or with spirit
of animosity against any person On
persons. Yet thousands and thousands
OF votes are thus cast every year.
By the genius of our goyernme:4t
through the ballot-box must come the
voice OF the people as an expression Il
their Will for rulers and men who aia
to be in authority. Every ballot cast
by every voter in this country not onl 8.
affects the rights, happiness and we'-
fare OF the individual voter who cas- 5
it; but the rights, happiness and well
fare Of every other American citizen,
either Immediately or remotely.
It is a subject, then, worth the stuGy
of every voter, whether or not he is a
good citizen and is the exponent cf
good citizenship in the casting of his
vote according to the privileges which
his citizenship confers upon him.
