NEWSPAPERS AND BUSINESS.

There is food for thought in this
statement from d recent issue of the
Raleigh Christian Advocate, and we
commend it to the careful cOnsidera-
ton of all that read newspapers. The
Advocate says:
1T is a fact we'll known that 81. so
a year for the Advocate is a cash
price. 1t could not be otherwise
with the present high price of labor,
and increased cost of printing paper.
Yet it is no uncommon occurrence
for us to receive an INDECENT letter
on account of having sent to the
subscriber, what they call a dun
for subscription three years due. We
know some who would not appreci-
ate u sending to them a statement
of Indebtedness incurred months
ago. To draw on them would be an
offence. We take this opportunity
of saying that running a newspaper
is a matter of stern, strict business.
10 lose sight or this faCt on either
side means financial ruin. The Bust
S Manager of this paper is com
PEELED to follow the methods and
principles adopted by the manage
ment of other forms of business. If
this cannot be done, we might as
we'll go out of the business. When
we send out what some call in an ag-
grieved spirit 'duns,' we are only
carrying out the principles of strict
business. The Advocate is beset
every day with these 'duns,' which
we ~cheerfully pay, whether we get
money from our patrons or not.
Neither business policy nor morals
will allow us to get in a huff over
it."

farmers. But if we are merly to meet
once d year for lamentation, I con-
slider our organization useless"
Among other things Commissioner
Patterson said that he did not think
cotton should sell for less than ten
cents this year. Cotton opened SO
much earlier than usual and farmers
have been so anxious to sell at ten
cents that, while the crop is much
shorter than last year, the number
of bales marketed to date is no less
than to the same date last year.
This has had a bad influence upon
the market.

FERTILIZER SALES INCREASING

Addressing the Board of AgrjcrI.
ture last week, Commissioner Pat
tersOn made the following interest
ing statement:
The receipts for fertilizer TAGS
for the fall season up to YESTERDAY
(Oct. 22nd) compared with receint
of last year up to a few days later
are rather surprising, indicating an
increase in sales of fertilizers a III.
tie startling. The receipts for time
indicated for last year amounted to
$6,624; for this year, $7,968, ind,
eating tons of fertilizer sv1l MS
year (at tax of 25 cents per tonl
26,496 this year Cat tax Of 20 cents
per ton), 80, 84O-almost exactly soy
more sales Of fertilizer this year than
last"
Far from being a bad sign, how.
ever, this would seem to indicated
largely increased acreage of small
grain-another blow to the one crop
system.
Mr.. Patterson also referred to the
fact that during the summer season
little or no demand is made for fer
tilizer tags, hence employment Of IN
spectors is unnecessary. Of court
be did not say that inspection is IN
necessary at all seasons, as some re
ports of his speech would indicate,

IMPORTANT ACT AS TO CATTLE AND THE
QUARANTINE.

Perhaps the most important act of
the Board of Agriculture at it's sess
sion here last week was the passage
Of the following order:
'From Nov, 1, 1900, no cattle may
be driven, carried, or allowed to
stray from other districts of this
State or from quarantined districts
of other States into that district of
this State, lying west of the follow
ing line, to-wit: Beginning at the
S. E. corner of Henderson county at
the State line thence ~nOrthward
along Henderson county line to Nc
Dowen county thence eastward and
nOrthward along the township lines
of Broad River, Crooked Creek and
Old Fort townships to the Catawba
river thence eastward along the
Catawba river to the southeastern
corner of Caldwell county thence
nOrthward along the Caldwell county
line to the Wilkes county line thence
eastward along the Wilkes county
line to the S. E. corner of Wilkes :;
thence nOrthward along the Wilkes
line to the Yadkin river; thence
eastward along the Yadkin river to
the S. E. corner of Surry thence
northward along the SUrry county
line to the State line; thence west
ward along the State line to N. E.
orr Of Allegheny county. Until
otherwise ordered. Violation is a
misdemeanor. Public laws of 1899,
Chap. 377, Sec. T."
It will be seen that this territory
embraces all of Surry, Wilkes, and
Caldwell, and portions of Burke and
Mcdowell counties. It is hoped that
by this act the people in this section
may be enabled to free their cattle
from ticks. When this is done and
proven to the satisfaction of the Ma
tional authorities, the quarantine
line will be extended so as to add
this section to that excepted from
the quarantine. This is a matter of
more Importance than the average
farmer in the eastern and central
sections of the State realizes. Here's
an illustration given by DR.. Curtice
Henderson county is an example.
Within the past year it was trans
ferred across the quarantine line,
and, as a result, the cattlemen have
received two cents per pound more
for their beef"
By cleaning out the ticks in sec
ton after section, it is hoped to
gradually extend the quarantine line
eastward. The success of this work
means millions to North Carolina
agriculture, and all farmers should
interest themselves in it.

Editorial.
JUST ONE WORD MORE.

It appears that socialism, so long
popular with d large foreign element
in the Northern States, has at last
secured a slight fOOthOld in North
Carolina. While disagreeing with
the authors, we have recently pub
lished two articles advocating this
ancient ''ism." For our part, we
believer CompetitiOn-free, natural,
and unrestricted competition. There
are very few lines of industry in
which monopoly may not be destroy
ed and competition maintained by
proper legislation when legislation
fails, we may then talk of govern
ment ownership. We repeat that
the lines of industry belonging to
this class are few.
We believe that the human race is
to reach its highest development not
by the ignoble peace and tranquility
of socialism, but by competition
the struggle of man with man to
produce work of the greatest good
to humanity.
We do not believe that in order to
escape from the ~mOnOpOliSt boss
we must surrender to a boss no
less Objectionable because in the
shape of a community instead Of an
individual. The idea that socialism
means an escape from bOsSism Is
absurd. Socialism would place a
boss over every man, limiting his
progress, compelling him if indus
trioUs and energetic to share with
the indOlent, placing an insurmOunt-
able barrier between him and that
healthful, beneficial competition that
works for the betterment of human
ity through natural law-"the sur
vival of the fttest."
There are evils in our present
system, but in hunting a remedy let
Us not turn to the quack doctors
who advocate the destruction of that
competitive energy that has evolved
the whole fabric Of modern civiliza-
ton and which impeIs the individual
toward industry, merit, and prog
reSs."
Though the monopolist owns too
much of the earth and the fullness
thereof, be not deceived by those
carried about by ever. wind of
doctrine" who condemn the cOmpe-
titive system as a failure, and adj
voCate the substitution of a system
whereby the government would own
everything, thus depriving merit
and industry of its greatest stimu-
lus and turning back the hands on
the dial of human progress.
Rather let US, quitting ourselves
like men, search out the disorders in
the present system and correct them.
The doctors who tell us to get rid of
the competitive system because it is
not without imperfections and the
doctors who advise de~capitation as a
remedy for a headache belong to the
same family.

man of really RtateSman-llKo Quall-
ties. He has travelled extensively
and amassed a comfortable fortune,
we believe, as a banker. While a
Republican, he was prominent in the
councils of that party. President
Carried offered him the position OF
Secretary of State, which he refused,
desiring to be Secretary of the Treas
Try. But while all this is true OF
Mr.. Barker, it must be said with
euual frankness that his running
mate, Ignatius DOnnelly, is a
dreamer, d visionary, Of the most
impractical type.
If Mr.. Mckinley is reelected, it is
almost certain that the Democratic
party will drop some of Col. Bryan's
most cherished principles, as we'll as
BRYAN himself. The free silver idea
will probably be restored to the
POpulists and a gold man, probably
David B. Hill, nominated for the
Presidency in 1904. This is rendered
more probable, by the movement to
make Col. Roosevelt, the RepUbli-
can candidate that year. New
York would then be the battle
ground and between Hill and ROOse-
Welt the contest would be exciting
enough. But in this we are trying
to peep too far into the future.
Col. Bryan's election would no
doubt cause a sort of panic for a few
weeks, as Wall street and its allies
have the power of bringing on a
panic and would probably do so to
express their feelings. But this
would be only temporary. 1t is not
likely that Col. Bryan could do any
thing for silver, unless a free silver
Congress were elected in 1902, in
which case the gold standard would
be abolished. We cannot see that
Col. Bryan's free silver ideas have
been at all exploded by the recent
prosperity under the gold standard.
He said that free silver was needed
to increase u circulating medium.
Quite unexpectedly, the worlds gold
production has enormously increased,
nearly $500, 600, 900 have been coined
during the past four years, an in
crease of So per capita, and prices
have correspondingly increased. Mr..
Bryan asserts that the gold prOduc-
tiOn will fall back to the old rate
and that free silver is therefore
needed to continue the expansion of
the currency and the present high
prices.
AS we said in the outset, Mr.. Nc
Kinley evidently has the best chances
of election. Without New York,
Col. Bryan's chances are not of the
best, and in that State, not every
thing is working in his favor. The
leaders of the Democratic party there
honor him with their lips, but their
hearts are a great way from him.
And it is a matter of common knOwl-
edge that the mOneyed classes are
openly against him and are cOntribut-
ing much Doodle to use upon the
purchasable vote. Wall street itself
is bedecked with anti-Bryan ban
ners.
It is only a week till the election.
You should vote, but you should not
DO so thoughtlessly. Study the
question and then vote as your con
science dictates.
