RAISE MORE WHEAT.

The events OF the past half dozen years
Of enforced economy and the necessity
Of making changes in old systems Of
agriculture have resulted in great diver
sification of crops. The farmer who
does not live at home and board at the
same place il becoming more rare every
year. II is a healthy indication. less
-four has been brought to North Caro-
lima this year than formerly, and the
cultivation of wheat has steadily grown.
The Asheboro Courier tells of three
farmers I'M one Haighborhood raising
over 5000 bushels Of wheat this year.
and says there are seventeen process roll
or flour mills in Randolph county. we
quote:
"1'he freight ON a ear of wheat from
Chicago to Asheboro is twenty-three
cents bushel.
when it is known that the mills IN
this county pay the farmers more for
their wheat than farmers elsewhere
can get, it is not surprising that there
is such progress in agriculture. After
paying good prices for wheat the mills
can then sell flour cheaper than the
same grade of western flour can be
sold"
The corn crop Of the State, too, IS
larger than heretofore, while from all
directions the news of many ''grunters
makes certain that we are soon to have
in North Carolina "a hog killing time.
A gentleman, who was in this office on
Saturday, said he had recently travelled
through Wake, Vance and Franklin
counties and that he had never seen so
many hogs. If we have hog, hominy and
wheat, the farmers are in Il condition to
live while they are waging war against
the trusts that press down the price of
their money crop.
The advice: Raise More Wheat,
and more hog and hominy' has been
taken this year with good results.

1T. BRUMBY DEAD.

The gallant Lieut.. Brumby, who was
Admiral Dewey's flag lieutenant during
the battle at Manila, died in Washing,
ton on Sunday. His health was broken
by his long and trying service in the
tropics. He was Georgian whose faith
err was brave Confederate soldier. He
is the third officer of that noble fleet
to die Speaking of him, Admiral Dew
ey said:
Il was greatly attached to him per
sonally. His close association with me
was always most agreeable, and came
TO know him very intimately, and TO
respect him as a man of the highest
personal character, as well as most
efficient naval officer. He was an
ideal gentleman, and his death is Il
source of deepest grief to me.
While the whole country mourns, the
South is deeply touched at the death
Of this grandson Of the Confederacy who
lost his life for the flag Of the reunited
country.

HOW TT PAYS

Cotton in the raw state sells this year
for seven and half cents pound.
When manufactured into yarns II sells
for fifteen cents a pound.
When made into underwear the prcie
goes up to thirty cents a pound.
In 1870 we sold our cotton in the raw
state: now we are selling most of it in
yarns at double the price for the raw
cotton; in the next few years we ought to
double the price of yarns by converting
them into underwear and keep
the money for the manufacture here in
North Carolina. 1T has been demonstrate
ed that it pays. Why not get the new
hosiery or knitting mill in operation IN
Raleigh early in the new year?
