DOES WICHITA DIRT
Topeka Figures on This City's
Population Ridiculous.
CITY HAS GAINED HEAVILY
In the Last Year Population
Has Increased 1900.

Somebody at Topeka is apparently COM
pIling returns to the detriment of wich-
tia. Out OF Secretary Coburn's Office a
table has been issued which gives wich-
tia a black eye, showing that the city
has lost-in the last year ne inhabitants.
OF course everybody in Wichita knows
this false, but then Wichitaspeople have
ceased to expect justice from Topeka
sources.
Every other town in this part of the
state is shown as gaining largely. Wich-
ita alone is put down as losing popula-
ton, when it is a fact known to all that
every house in the town is occupied, with
more of a demand than ean be flied,
that business has extended in every di-
rection and the day when new families
did not move into the city was an ex-
ception the past year.
AS a matter of cold fact, Wichita has
in the last year gained in population 1881.

II can't understand" said Mr.. Denny,
why such damaging mistake could be
made"
There is a good deal of indignation in
Wichita that the city should be given a
black eye. The assessors returns on pop
ulation are, as a matter of fact, far from
complete on account of the other duties
which with the assessor are paramount
The real population of Wichita is some
where near 26,OO0. With the growing in
crease of the next twelve months added
to 1t, the national census fixtures, which
will be taken next year, will prove this

Monday. There was no sensation except

by Representative Taylor, of Ohio, who
called attention to the petition OF
seven million names of men and women
against Roberts taking seat. The
petition was in % rolls of names each
about two feet in diameter encased in
the American flag. These rolls were
stocked ia front OF the clerks desk and

FARMER ELLIOTT'S EXPERT
zENCE.

THE COMMONWEALTH had an inter-
teresting talk on the train recently
with Mr.. w. Fl. Elliott, a farmer OF
Eagletown, Northampton county, on
tho SUBJECT of wheat-ralsing. He
thinks 1t pays the farmers IN this part
of the state as we'll as those in other
parts to raise wheat. He says that if
a farmer can raise IL bushels to the
acre it pays him better than to buy
his -four.
From IA to 20 bushels to the acre is
a good crop, Mr.. Elicit says, and any
farmer is wise to raise his wheat on his
own farm. He says also that from
wheat planted in December one may
get good crop. He has known wheat
planted "between the Christmases" to
make a good yield.
SO those farmers who have not vet
planted wheat still have time. and THE
COMMONWEALTH urges them to do so.

SHERIFF STALLINGS' WHEA r.
MIL.

While at Tarboro last week we had a
conversation with Sheriff w. L. STALL
ings about his proposed wheat mill.
He says be shall put In first-class
mill near Tarboro in time to grind
wheat from the next crop. It will be
an up-to-date mill, patent roller pro.
Cess, and farmers of Edgecombe, Hall
fax and other counties near by will
have an opportunity to get their wheat
ground.
Now, this is an encouragement to
farmers OF all this region to plant
wheat and have their flour at home
next year.
It is another step towards the COM
plete independence of the farmer, and
The COMMONWEALTH hopes to see
large quantities of wheat grown here

News & Observer.
The revival of business that has
sprung up since the war with Spain
has brought many paradoxes In Its
tram. While labor has been employed
and products, with a few exceptions,
have brought better prices, and man
ufacturing has hourlsned, the bulk OF
the benefits has gone to the trusts. The
farmer and mechanic have been forced
to pay two prices tor their implements,
tools and working material ,-enough
in manv cases to offset the increase
due to the enlarged demand for labor.
The newspaper publisher has been
hit as hard by the trusts as any other
class, probably harder. We we're in
formed yesterday that white paper ha d
advanced to a point that increases the
cost OF the supply used in printing our
daily and weekly issues $500 per day
| or something like $1,000 per year.
That is pretty steep assessment for
the trusts to make On the News and
Observer Publishing Company. Pro
port1onately, the same assessment Is
made on every other paper In the
country, u Mess the paper trust gives
special rates to those pa pels that are
always extolling the blessings OF the
trust. If they have to pay as much
