A COAL FAMINE.
Not a Pound Of Coal for
Sale at Bar Harbor.

Death Of VIM. R. Rose.
Accident to County Attorney Newell Golden
Wedding Anniversaries.

Bar Harbor, Me, Feb. 12.-Bar Har-
Dor is suffering from coal. famine.
There is not a pound of coal for sale
in the town. or on the island of Mt
Desert.
This famine was occasioned by the
loss of vessel which was en- route for
Bar Harbor with u supply of coal .or
the local dealers, and, while there has
been no actual suffering as yet, the sit
uation is anything but comfortable
during the protractcd cold weather.
Coal is being brought in small guam
titles from Hockland and Bangor to
supply immediate necessities, but high
rates of freight prohibit extensive inn
portations from these sources. Els
worth has no coal to spare. If coal
could have been had at all. it would
bring SO and $12 in the local market.

I'm DARKEST ENGLAND

1t will be well enough to postpone
the alliance with England until that
country learns to get at the truth
before falsely condemning the whole
South. Here is what the Christian
Herald, an English publication has to
say of the negro in the South:
women and girls are whipped in a
nude state by men in the presence OF
men and boys. Of course, there IS
immortality. Children are born and
grown up in the prisons, and know
no other home. Some of the states
make a regular thing of breeding
people, just as in the old slavery
days. This is specially the case in
Georgia, Florida and Texas"
1t is apparent that the Southern
States Especially Georgia, Florida and
Texas" will have to quit spending
money to send missionaries to Afri-
ca and hereafter send them to the ed
ucated heather ''in darkest England.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE.

The Wilmington Messenger has Il
''oA good authority that around
Chadbourn good trucking lands are
held ut 800 an acre, and sales haze
been made not far under that sum-
\ few years ago that land sold ftr
almost a song and nobody wanted to
buy it. Now there are bidders aud
the price has increased tenfold. What
4 company. of which State Senator
Joseph a. Brown was the active mln-
ager, bought up large bodies of iand
about Chadbourn and sold it to
thrifty farmers in the / Northwest
who moved down to grow straw
berries and truck for Northern mar
kcts. They succeeded, others came,
and the result has been beneficial IN
Wery way.
We need more intelligent people in
North Carolina to do elsewhere what
has been done at Chadbonrn. 1t does
not matter whether they come from
the South, North, West or from Eu-
rope so they have industry anl
brains.
The strawberry industry has been
developed by native North CAROLYN
ians. They first made big money out
immigrants saw what could be done
they came to Chadbourn and other
places to make money the same way.
There is lesson in this for evc,N
section of, the State. 1t is idle to ex-
pcct Northern capital ard Northern
immigrants ITO come to the State end
until native Carolinians nave made
the experiment and shown that it
could be made profitable. The cotton
mills, tobacco factories, furniture
works, iron mills, the trucking and
fishing industry-all that has made
North Carolina progressive, were first
developed by home talent and home
capital. After this has been done, IN
any line, capital and immigrants can
Oe secured.
The chief work before the new Ag-
ricultural Board is to induce ti.ririy
men and women to come into the
State and help develop its resources
along lines which have already been
shown can afford good profits.

HE MUST LIVE AT HOME AND BOARD AT
THE SAME PLACE.

There has been great progress i'll re-
cent years toward diversifying the
crops by North Carolina farmers. More
farmers make their supplies than at
any time since the war, and the people
depend less and less upon buying their
supplies in other States. We have be-
gun to live at home and board at the
sane place. We will grow rich when
we do that fully In a recent speech by
Judge Powell, of Vicksburg, a para
graph explaining why Mississippi was
poor applies in a measure to North
Carolina. He said:
1.-THE reason of our poverty iS not hard
to find. Take our average citizen. he
gets up in the morning and pulls on Il
pair Of socks from Lynn, Mass; puts on
a pair of shoes from Boston,: suit OF
clothes from Philadelphia; goes into his
breakfast, draws up chair made i'll
Chicago, and eats from a table which
came from Cincinnati: sweetens his COT
fee from Rio with sugar from Louisiana;
takes Il slice of ham cured in st. Louis,
and buffers Il biscuit of Minnesota flour
with eleomargarine which came from
the Lord knows where he eats South
Carolina or Louisiana rice and even the
very grits upon his table were ground
in some northern mill; he goes TO his sta
bic and puts Il set of harness from st.
Louis on a mule from Kentucky:
bitches it to wagon from Illinois, and
drives over to his neighbours and com
plains of hard times. OF course, times
are hard when everything people eat,
drink, Wear and drive came from some
where else and only the atmosphere
which he breathes is il home institution
The South must have manufactures
of all sorts to convert its raw material
into the finished product. North Caro-
line is taking the lead in doing this 80
far as cotton mill and wood working
factories go. There is room for profita-
lie. expansion along other lines, particu-
arly in the establishment of small in
