EDITORIAL NOTES.

We are glad to learn from a state
ment by President Charles D. McIver,
of the State Normal and Industrial
College, that very good progress is
being made in :, c lring the $1,000 0
endowment which i desired, as u stu
dents aid fund. DR.. McIver says
that $40, 900 is in sight from GuiIford
county alone.
It is reported that before oIeomar-
garine was so extensively munufac-
tured there was ii very large amount
Of cheap axle grease put on the
market. With the use of the grease
for cleo oil, the chief component OF
Oleomargarine, the axle grease has
disappeared, or i disappearing. See
note on page 1 regarding cleo oil.
A private letter from State Lee
tnrer Balm brings this encouraging
bit of news: My success IN re
organizing Alliances in Sampson
county last week was really more
shan l expected. re-orgunized five
Subs. and the membership is com
posed of some IF the best people o.
the county. Would have organized
more had it not been for rain Thurs
day. Expect to return and do more
work in that county last of next
week.
One of the most readable and
most carefully prepared series OF
articles which The Progressive Far
mer has ever published is that now
running on page 5, 1.-The Worlds
Progress in the Nineteenth Cen
tury," written by DR.. J. B. Alex
ander, of N~Iecklenburg county. These
articles are we'll worth preserving ;
our younger readers especially should
ind d place in their s~crap-books for
DR.. Alexander's well-written review
Of the greatest of the centuries.
t'The Legislature has increased
the Governors salary from $4,000 to
$4,000, which was the right and
proper thing to do says Charity
and Children. So say We. But it Is
more eminently right aud proper
that the public schools be literally
supported, the asylums enlarged,
and the Reformatory established
We believe that the Governor of the
great State Of North Carolina should
have $4,000 per year, bat these are
more worthy objects. And unless
they are properly supported, we
shall insist that the Legislature fnr.
got the sage advice, ''Be just, ther
generous"

THIS WEEKS PAPER.

The series of letters written for
this paper by the famous Hi
nOis corn grower. Mr.. J. G.. Suffern.
= attracting much favorable CON-
ment from subscribers. Another
article from his pen appears on
page l. Following it i Il note telling
Of the success Of a Rhode Island ex-
pertinent with rural free delivery,
bearing out our editorial on the sub
iect.
The articles published in The Pro
gresSive Farmer last year urging III
purchase of corn ]sEredders seems. t.
have borne good fruit. Several
farmers who took our advice have
written Us, all uniting in praise of
the new plan and urging others to.
adopt it. One of the letters is pub
lished in Our agricultural depart
ment this week.
We heartily endorse Harry Farm
er's suggestion to teachers. The
young people should be taught the
rudimentS of business correspond
ence. There are few greater draw
backs to agricultural progress than
the average farmers aversion to
letter writing By the way, have
YOU learned this lesson thoroughly {:
1t is the top bushel or pound that
gives the profit. This fact lies at
the bottom of all successful farming
and is neatly emphasized in Harry
Farmers letter.
On page 5 you will find a letter
from Mr., S. F. Thompson urging
Columbus county farmers to start d
cooperative cotton factory. Along
the same line is Prof. Irbv's edi-
tOriul on "COmhinatiOn for Cotton
Farmers" on this page. Prof. Irby
tells Us that he has never written III
article to which he gave more time
and thought than to this. 1t is in
deed II subject that deserves the a
full consideration Of all cotton farm
erS and should be discussed in farm
rrs' meetings all over the South.

Of STATE POLICY, is the motto of The
Progressive Farmer, and upon this
platform it shall rise or fall. Serving
no master, ruled by no faction, cir

whole people of the State. 1t will be

GET GOOD SEED.


Our readers ought to take advan-
tage Of the State Agricultural De
partment's offer of seed inspection
free of charge. Inferior seeds cost
heavily. In this connection, we urge
our farmers not to depend upon the
Congressional free distribution seed.
The comparative cost of good seed
is SO insignificant that only the fool
ish run the risk of Il poor crop by
planting poor or doubtful seed. Ap-
ply at once for catalogues of the
seedsmen who advertise in The Pro
gressive Farmer-all are reliable
and make your selections.

OUR ADVERTISERS.

Last week some one wrote us, ask
ing as to the reliability of one Of our
advertisers. Such queries are en-
tirely unnecessary. The fact that
an ad. appears in The Progressive
Farmer is in itself d statement that
we have reason to consider the ad-
vertiser reliable and that it is our
belief that you will get your moneys
worth in all dealings with him.
Almost every week we reject ads. Of
unreliable dealers, humbug medi-
cineS, guessing contests, etc, regard
less of the price offered US to insert
them. Occasionally perfectly rell-
able ads. are refused, simply because
we do not know the character Of the
dealer, and we try to take no risks
in such matters. Yes, we believe
each and every advertiser in our
columns will treat you fairly and
honestly. We have never heard a
complaint against u single one of
them, and nearly all have been doing
business with North Carolina farmers
yea after year. Patronage then,
write for their catalogues, price lists,
etc. we guarantee satisfaction.

j. F., Of Randolph county, who
constructs our commentator Of Gov.
Aycock's inaugural address as IAN
endorsement of mob rule and cleo
ton frauds has certainly never
read the address. 1t is the ablest
argument against these two evils
ever written by a Governor Of
North Carolina. Mr.. Aycock urges
the repeal of the present election
law and the substitution of one per
fectly fair; he deplores mob rule
and declares such Iuwlessness must
cease. The address is simply a plea
for fairness, for good faith, for law
and order. Read it, brother, and
see for yourself.

As we go to press news comes from
Washington that Chairman Proctor
Of the Committee on Agriculture has
presented to the Senate the majority
report of that committe on the CIRCUIT
bill, recommending its passage.

good prices for butter, write your
