WHAT NORTH CAROLINA NEEDS.

North Carolina ought to produce
corn and hogs enough to satisfy home
consumption. II the farmers of the
State will meet consumption in these
two respects, no one will object to
their cotton acreage, no matter how
large it may be. A State that's full of
corn, side meat, eggs, cows and
queens is State that can afford to
ignore the current talk as to a great
cotton acreage. But the trouble is
North Carolina is not full of these
needful articles. We need more
acres in corn-more hogs, more
cattle and particularly more hens.
In some States the little brown hen
is the most important and lucrative
creature contained therein. 1t has
been the salvation, it is claimed, OF
Kansas, as the COW has been of Iowa.

A SENSIBLE NEGRO.

If Booker T. Washington had not
already established thoroughly his
reputation as a sensible man, the let
ter written by him few days ago to
a North Carolina negro in response to
questions asked would 90 far towards
doing that thing.
The Citizen yesterday printed ex-
tracts from this letter of Washington,
and they will speak for themselves.
1t appears the North Caroliua negro
wanted Washington's opinion as to
what ought to be done to 'allay the
present conflict between the races"
WashiHgton's reply was:
Il have been asking myself lately some
rather serious questions and l want to
put one or two of them to you. Is there
any reason why the negroes in the South
continue to oppose the Southern white
man and his politics? Is this not the
source OF nearly all our troubles?
''Unconsciously We seem to havegotten
the idea into our blood and bones that
we are only acting in a manly way when
We oppose Southern white men with our
votes.
"In some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point where
it will cease to feel that the only way Tor
it to succeed is to oppose every thing sug'
gested or put forth by the Southern
white men.
"This consider one of the problems
| believe that there are thousands OF
white Democrats in North Carolina who
are so per cent better friends to the
negro than Governor Russell. | see nc
necessity in continuing to follow Gov
Russell, who has no power to protect
or if he has the power does not exercise it
rather than these other white men who
can protect Us if we cease continually
and forever to oppose them"
Nothing could be truer than this,
and few men could have stated il
more tersely or distinctly. The only
criticism that can be made against il
is that Washington should have beer
so long reaching this conclusion. Il
he had thought of this 10 years ago
and could have impressed it upor
the people of his race as to overcome
their political prejudices against thu
white people and Democrats of thu
South, he would in all probability
have saved many Southern States
from doing that which has been dom
more as duty to their own race thar
because of i'll feeling towards thu
negro race.-Asheville Citizen.

Aurelian Flagg Of the board OF trade
Discovered scheme whereby
million or more could be handlly made
Through speculation in rye;
So he laid his plans and he blundered in,
lie staked his all to lose or win
AS others had done before;
Lo! the market turned, as he said it would.
And there with a swelling chest he stood,
Worth million dollars or more.
AureIian Flagg OF the board of trade
Who had specialized in rye.
Put on some frills of the highest grade
And exploited a capital |;
II was not to luck that success was due,
But wise foresight had carried him
through
And made him millionaire.
You had the chance, | had it, too,
But we didn't know the things he knew,
so we stood alOOf and didn't dare.
Aurelian Flagg of the board OF trade,
Took a second flyer in rye,
And dropped the million that he had
made
Would you know the reason why?
Things didn't turn out as he thought they
would,
Just why he never quite understood
Ill luck had entered the deal somewhere;
When you win you have wisdom, genius,
pluck,
When you lose your loss is due to bad luck
As it CHANGED with the eX-milliOnaire.

tarrh being constitutional disease re-

Factories Help the Farmers.

Apprehension has been expressed
that growing manufacturing interests
will tend to the disadvantage Of the
farming interests of the South. OBJ
servation of facts do not prove such
to be the case, but show contrary
result. The population engaged in
manufactures becomes customers of
farmers for their crops of food stuffs
These markets for perishable pro-
duets become of great advantage to
farmers, and the Improvement in
farming interests are readily noticea-
BILE in the vicinity of manufacturing
towns. OF course, more work is re-
quired. but the work of raising fruits,
vegetables. chickens, eggs, milk and
butter and taking these to the factory
villages. where markets are found, is
not by any means disagreeable work.
This can all usually be done by a
thrifty farmer without materially
interfering with the production OF
the usual cotton crop. 1t would
seem as if manufactures benefit the
neighboring farmers in about as
large proportion as they do those
owning stock in them or engaged in
operating them.-Charlotte Observer.

A Strong Petition From the Former

The county commissioners received to-

discussion between the embers of the
board and a committee from the asso-
citation.
The document reads as follows
"The members of the County of Silver
Bow Retail Liquor Dealers Protective
association especially petition your hon
rable body in the interes, of justice and
fair play to give your careful n earn
est consideration to their grievances as
stated herein. Your petitioners repre-
sent that they pay annually into the
county treasury $50, 600 for the privilege
OF carrying on their business, and they
believe that in consideration Of the pay
ment of such a sum they are entitled to
the protection of the county authorities
from wrongful and unlawful COMPETE
ton; that SO long as grocers, druggists
and other merchants are permitted to
sell liquors, wines and beer by retail
without paying a county license therefor,
they are denied the protection guaran-
teed them by the %tatutes of Montana.
and their business is Doth unfairly and
unlaWfully being encroached upon. 1t
is a conceded fact that in many grocery
and drug stores in the city of Butte and

your petitioners contribute nearly 800, 900
annually to the count for the privilege
OF carrying on their business, these mer-
chants sell the same class of erchandis
by retail without paying one cent there
for into the county treasury. as required
by law; and your petitioners are strongly
of the opinion that our honorable body
will agree with them that this state OF
affairs is most inequitable and unjust,
1t is a condition against which your Pc
tltloners solemnly and most earnestly
protest.
Recently two cases We're brought in the
police court of the city against grocers
for an lnfraction of the license laws of
the city and both defendants entered a

a license. These men We're equally guilty
OF violating the law relating to county

no steps towards bringing them to JUS

desire to shirk any legitimate burden or
responsibility, but simply desire that
these glaring abuses may be stopped and
made impossible in the future or the
~delinquents made to pay the penalty for
their fraudulent acts. 1t has been the
practice of the county officials. when any
saloon keeper has been unable to pay his
license. to arrest aud incarcerate him in
the county Jail and hold him up to the
world as a common felon. while it is a
matter of record that the grocers who
have committed the same offense and
who could but would not pay their license
as required by law, are simply proceeded
against by civil action; and then these
proceedings are allowed to stretch over
a period of time until the cases are al
most forgotten. This. we respectfully
submit. is an unjust discrimination
against the saloon-keepers as a class. and
one which your petitioners will not toll
crate in the future, but shall demand in
the name of justice that the retail liquor
dealers of this county be treated in the
same manner and in the same courteous
spirit as grocers and other merchants by
the officers of Silver Bow county.
you petitioners desire to know what
the status of the license cases against
the delinquent grocers is at this time and
whether it is the intention of the county

and compel, if possible. the defendants
to pay their proper share of taxation.
