CAUSES OF THE BETTER PRICES
FOB COTTON.

The newspapers and cotton guessers
size of the crop. Now they are
discussing the reason of the advance in
cotton in the last few months. If one
were to go to guessing as to the rea-
sons why he might content himself
with the old rule of political economy
that never fails, that of supply n de-
mand. Since 1870. we have tried to
write scores of columns upon over
production in cotton. Twenty years
ago the smallest crop produced more
money than the large crop of
years produced. In recent years too
much cotton has been grown for the
worlds consumption. The result has
been low prices, ruinous prices to d
great many deserving farmers. The
crop is much below expectations.
Whatever the precise number of bales
it is known that the crop is short by
some millions Of bales. In the last
three months the visible crop is over
a million bales below what it was a
year ago.. The decrease is said to be
Is per cent. 1t is also thought that the
crop will be 1900, 900 below what the
demand will be. If that is SO, then the
cause of increase is patent. The Hous-
ton (Texas) Post, an able exchange.
says that from September until jan
uary the visible supply usually in
creases rapidly, but for the past few
weeks the amoun marketed has been
only a few thousand bales ahead of
the worlds consumption. During the
past week, for instance, the supply only
increased q, 1000 bales, while for the
same period last year 272, 900 bales were
added to the worlds stock of the
staple"
All southerners u rejoice in the
advance in cotton. 1t means a great
many tens of millions of dollars to the
southern people above What the old
low prices gave. North Carolina in
creases it's crop Of cotton, and an in
crease of 2 or 3 cents a pound puts
thousands Of none in the pockets of
our farmers. 1t means more facto-
rieS and more prosperity. But be
guarded ait one point. If the pres
ent ~remuneratiVe price of cotton
should cause the planters to lose
their heads and pitch a tremen-
should reach II, O0O, 900 or II, 200, 900 or
more even, then what? The farmers
would hear something drop" and it
would be the price of cotton. The law
of supply and demand never fails, it
is infallible. Make too much cotton
and down will go the price and per-
haps to the low prices of recent years.
Be warned in time. If a great crop is
planted, it is planted for five or six
cents a pound. An increase of $40 or
$12 a bale is very alluring. Be not de-
ceived. 1t is very certain that the
grasping, rascally trusts have had
nothing to do with the rise in the price
of cotton.

official representatives of the United
States before this government had en-
baTked upon h policy of blood and
desolation in the Philippine Islands.
All the excuses that can be made now
will not rub out the record Of the Unit
ed States in that country"
The responsibility of war rests upon
the action of the president, and he de-
serves the censure of every true nan
and real patriot for his usurping cor
duct We agree with our Charleston
contemporary that it is a question for
investigation-that the congress ought
to inquire why the president assumed
the sole preroSative of that body in
engaging in a war without its author
ity. There has not been d time since
the first guns were fired at Manila,
when the president could not have
called the congress together and re-
ferred this whole question TO that
body for settlement. He cannot share
his present responsibility with con-
gress, and he cannot escape the n
nifty of the offence which he has COM
mitted." The little fellow must bear
his own burden of censure and walk
the burning mari alone and unshel-
tered.

The tobacco growers are getting
mighty til of being robbed BIZ the
cigarette gang. They mean business,
and we can but hope that some plan,
some measure of relief can be hit upon
that will take their heads ou, of the
cigarette trust moose, and have some
chance for freedom and returning pros
perity. Our Raleigh special of yester-
day noting the gathering of the tObac-
CT growers in that town, gave this:
THE price of tobacco is lower, while
production is smaller, and there is no
decrease in demand. SO the price does
not follow the usual laws of supply
and demand"
If all other plans should fail to put
bits in the mouths of trust fellows,
there is one that cannot fail. Let
every tobacco grower in the south not
grow a plant in two years. Then the
robbers would get faint at heart. n
would open their eyes to decency n
honesty and right doing. No tobacco
no cigarette product. Ben Duke might
commit harri kari.

DINA. His name is Isaac Brock, born
in Buncombe county on LIST March
1888, now in his 111th year, said to
be the oldest man IN America. He was
born before the United States q a
life. He has seen twenty-five Iresi-
dents elected. He has fought in four
wars. He shod a horse when 80. He
has been written up in Texas papers.
On 4th December 1898, the Waco Times
Herald had a sketch of him. On 18th
December 1898, the Dallas Morning
News had a more elaborate biography,
as did also the Chicago Times-Herald.
He is a worthy citizen of unblemished
name. His old family Bible tells his
age. He lived much of his life near
Waco. A sketch before us says:
"a short time ago by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his
picture. In his hand he held a stick
cut from the grave of General Anirew
Jackson, which has been carried by
him ever since. Mr.. Brock is a dIgni-
fed old gentleman, showing few signs
of decrepitnde. His family Bible is
still preserved, and it shows thai the
date of his birth was written Ill years
ago."

1t is said by the Charleston News
and Courier that many negroes in that
city are wild with fear believing that
the world will soon end, and about the
Christmas time.
The Denver Evening Post has a poet
who sings of a prevailing style. The
poem opens in this wise:
Have you seen the jaunty maiden
tripping lightly long the street
With an old gray goosequill sticking
in her hat?
She is neat n she is natty and most
ravishingly sweet,
With the old gray goosequill sticking
in. her hat"
That was horrible work out in Ken
lucky, burning a negro to death for
raping and numbering a lady. The
penalty was terrific, the crime was
devilish beyond description.
Senator Harris says hat Kansas is
for Bryan. He says he is absolutely
certain that the unanimous desire of
all those who wish to see successful
cooperation of all the different ele-
ments in Kansas opposed to the repub-
lican party is heartily fer the renom-
ination of the Hon.. W.. J. Bryan" Tam
many is for him also, and so is the en-
tire south.
Teddy Roosevelt has gone into train
ing in wrestling. He has a tutor.
What's up? Does he anticipate "wah?'
Georgians favor the franchise for ne
groes indefinitely. They do not have
trouble at the polls down there as the
whites are 60, 900 in majority, but they
have a great many crimes and rapes,

tor, who served SO long in parliament

Bill Bynum, who deserted the demo-
Gratis in 1896, has been rewarded by
Mckinley with an office tia pays
$4,000 a year. Traitors from democ-
racy are usually we'll paid. Patterson

A correspondent of the Raleigh Post
at Washington, N. c., writes of a visit
of Bishop Watson Of this town. He
says:
HE made his annual visitation and
administered the sacred rite of confir-
nation to twelve persons. AS usual his
sermon vas beautiful, logical and elo-
quent, and the esteem in which he is
held by all denominations was testi-
fed to by the large congregation, made
up in part from the other city churches.
Bishop Watson is truly an ideal bishop
and sheperd to his flock, going
through all weather to our scattered
country parishes, ever staying with the
Door of the congregation in preference
to h affiuent, thereby gaining a sure
knowledge and understanding of their
needs and desires that would be we'll
nigh impossible under other circum-
stances. He is indeed venerated and
appreciated at his true work"
He is truly apostolic in his visits
to the poor rather than to the rich.
He is a faithful worker, now eighty
two years of age, and sets the robust,
younger man a noble example of zeal,
devotion, piety and abundant labors.
He is held in high esteem in Whining
ton by all who know this venerable SER
a of God.

We have never favored preventing
railroads from granting passes. 1t is
really an usurpation of power that is
tyrannical and undemocratic. A rail-
road is a public carrier but not a pub
lie enemy. 1t is owned by private cit
izens. They should be able to trans
port any man they choose to transport,
just as any one of the owners might
take a friend to church or court in his
private carriage. It is an abuse of
power to forbid issuing free passes to
friends. The Southern railroad has
been fined 81, 900 for giving a free pass
This is not the first fine paid. The
state supreme court makes the deci-
sion. It is a bad law and wrong.
