Mr.. j. P. Honeyoutt, of Harnett
county, was in 20 see us last week.
He says crops are very poor in his
section. He thinks his crop the best
in the neighborhood and says he
attributes it to the use of cotton seed.
He says he sold his seed one year
only ; that year he sold at 33% cents
per bushel, and is sure he lost money
by it, as he has not been able to pro-
duce as good cropssince as he did be-.
fore. He will not sell his seed any
more, unless forced to it by the
sheriff.

DR.. TAFT Butler, the State veteri-
Marian, returned yesterday from
Camden county, where he went to
Investigate the disease among horses
and cattle which was reported TO the
department. of agriculture.
The disease among horses was the
same az that in Dare, which is sepa-
sated from Camden by the sound.
The cattle, DR.. Butler discovered,
"er9 suffering from Texas, or tick
lever. About % horses and some
I'VE or six COWS died in the county.
DR.. Butler says that the disease
among horses, which has been de-
eaT9i to be staggers or oerebro-
spinal meningitis, is not contagious.
Ne stated that the disease developed
"om local conditions, resulting from
moulded fodder or bad water. There
: no way to treat the disease, the
only remedy being the removal OF
the cause.
However, the disease, both among

Theodore Roosevelt was born not
rich but in comfortable oircumstan,

family name back of him.
He was largely self educated, but
after the high school training he re.
oeived in New York he went to Har-
ward, where he distinguished him.
self as much by strenuous and dar-
ing manhood as by his excellence in
studies and society debates.
Like Macaulay, he was looked
upon as a prospective leader in
politics long before he entered pub
lie life, and he has more than justi-
fed the highest of these expecta-
tons.
He was graduated from Harvard
in 1880, and after spending a year in
travel and study came TO his home
TO find himself in demand for active
party service and leadership.
From his youth he has been a
leader. Nature made him one and
he has developed and exhibited
bowers of command which are rarely
equalled.
He was elected to the New York
Legislature in 1882 and served there
co~nspiouously for five years.
He then resigned it to become
champion of many reform measures,
and is the real author of New York's
present civil service law.
He was defeated for the mayoraIty
of New Yorkin 1885 as the candidate
of the reform party.
In 1889 President Harrison ap.
pointed him a member of the United
States Civil Service Commission, an
office which he held as President of
the Board until May, 1898.
He was the author, advocate, pro-
moter and President of the New
York City Board of Police Commits
sioner1 in 1895.
When the war with Spain broke
out he organized his famous Rough
Riders.
In 1898 he was elected Governor of
New York.
Before the expiration of his term
as Governor he was nominated for
Vice President.
ROOsEvELT's TRIBUTE TO LEE.
In his Life of Thomas h. Benton"
Theodore Roosevelt says Of General
Lee and his soldiers:
1.-The decline of the militant spirit
in the Northwest during the first
half of this century was much to be
regretted.
"To it is due more than to any
other cause the undOubted average
Individual in~feriority of the North
ern compared to the Southern troops ;
at any rate, at the beginning of the
war of the rebellion. The Southern
ers by their whole mode of living,
their habits, and their love of out
door sports, kept up their war-like
spirit while in the North the So
called upper Glasses developed along
the lines of a wealthy and timid
bourgeois type, measuring every
thing by a mercantile standard Ga
peculiarly debasing n by itself,
and submitting to be ruled in local
affairs by low foreign mobs, and in
national matters by their arrogant
Southern kinsmen. The militant
spirit of these last certainly stood
them in good stead in the Civil War.
The world has never seen better sol
dlers than those who followed Lee
and their leader will, undoubtedly,
rank as without an exception the
very greatest of all the great cap
tains that the English speaking peo-
pies have brought forth-and this,
although the last and chief of his
antagonists, may himself claim to
stand as the full equal of Marlbor-
oUgh and Wellington"

FARMERs, LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS.

Attention is called to the dispatch
and call from the Farmers Alliance
to be found on the first page, which
shows what the Cotton Oil Trust
proposes to do with the farmer in
attempting to control the price of
cotton seed.
The farmers "busted up" the bag
giug trust, and if they will organize
and not force their cotton seed on
the market too rapidly they can die
tate the price of seed to the mill men.
The profits in the cotton seed oil
industry are very large, anda reason
able part of this profit the mill men
should be willing to share with the
farmer. But the farmer will never
get it unless he organizes to control
the pr4ce of his seed just as the mill
men are forming a trust TO buy the
seed at the lowest possible prices.
The Alliance is now doing a good
work. Is is out of politics and likely
to stay out of politics as an organi-
zation for all time to come; but it is
doing business now in it's legitimate
sphere, that is, seeking to improve
the condition of the farmers by get
ting them to organize against the
rapacious trusts, that would grind
them to powder.-Wilson Times.

Last season the cotton seed mar
ket opened at Rich Square at about
"a cents per bushel. With a short
crop of cotton this year, and the
price of cotton seed products and
other commodities which they take
the place of or enter into the manu-
faoture of such as lard and feed stuff,
from 10 to 33 per cent. higher than
last year, cotton seed ought to sell
for not less than 80 cents per bushel
this fall. But the American Oil Co.
and the Fertilizer Trust, otherwise
known as the Virginia and Carolina
Chemical Co., have bought up the
cotton seed oil mills and are not
likely to pay full value for cotton
see1. Farmers have it in their power
to check the greed of the trusts, but
without organization they can do
nothing.-Roanoke Chowan Times.

The power and prestige of a soldier
depends upon his successes, and it
would seem that Lord Roberts left
South Africa just in time to save his
reputation. Kitchener came after him
and has made such slow progress in
the work of subjugation that he is
about to be removed to give place to
general with the significant and ap-
propriate name of Blood. Kitchner
finds the Beers a different proposition
from the Dervish hordes who threw
themselves fanatically upon his
squares and machine guns and were
moved down like grass before a
scythe. He finds that his bulldog
tenacity and notorious cruelty are not
the only qualifications necessary to
cope successfully with an enemy of
the courage, skill and resource of the
Boer. Consequently Kitchener must
step down and out and perhaps 20
back to the desert where he can
achieve new laurels.

he is all right. Take him out of that
and he is helpless. He is like a poor
workman in Lynn, Massachusetts,
shoe factory, whose work had been
confined to mailing on heels. He got
out of a job, went on a tramp and
struck a village where a shoemaker
was wanted and applied for the job,
which he could not hold because he
could do nothing but heel. Many
bright young newspaper men, up in
their business in the east, have come
west and been given positions they
could not hold. We know of no west
ern newspaper man who has gone east
and made a failure and we know
of many who have succeeded. There
are men working in Montana whose
work is so excellent that it would be
featured back east, but here it passes
unnOticed. However, all newspaper
work is ephemeral and man can be
remembered lust as long in Montana
as he can elsewhere.-Butte Journal

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
MONDAY, JULY Is, 1901.
PETTY TAXATION.

A correspondent of the Great Falls
Tribune at Kipp, Montana, takes ex
ception to the license provision of the
new game law, and gives his reasons
as follows:
'The new game law seems to be hav.
ing an effect directly opposite to that
it's makers intended, unless, as one
sportsman Of national reputation told
the writer, Its originators framed it
SO that they would have all the game
to themselves" Many nonresident
sportsmen will not come to this state
to shoot so long as they are required
to pay $40 for a license. Not that they
care for the money, but because they
think the license system to be un-
just. And it really is un-American; it
savOrs of a sectionalism which ought
not to exist in the land of the free. A
resident of California or New York
should have as much right to the
game the public lands here support as
citizens of Montana have.
Another Objectionable feature Of
the new game law is the section pro.
hibiting the shooting Of antelope and
bighorn. Numbers of nonresident
sportsmen who might have submit
ted to the license extortion, will hunt
in some other western state this fall
because they want one or both these
animals. Here in this particular
town, Jack Monroe, Cook & Price and
the writer have lost number of par
ties for the season, who otherwise
would have engaged them and their
outfits, and left in the neighborhood
of $4,000 with them and the mer.
chants. No doubt guides in other
parts of the state have had the same
experience. What we all want is a
law permitting sportsman to kill
one male of each species of big game
we have, and prohibiting the killing
of females at all times. We would
like a shorter open season-Septem
Der and October only-and we hope
the license system will be done away
with.
The objection to the license sys
tenn seems to be well grounded. II
is very selfish proposition to sa,
the least. 1t is kind of Interstate
protective tariff which makes all the
other states foreign to Montana There
seems to be no good reason why the
citizens of another state should not
have the same right to hunt in Mon
tana as Montanans. The license pro
vision is petty and small.
