IMPROVED FARMING IMPLEMENTS IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

1t il an encouraging indication of
better farming when it is possible to
clip from d half column of miscel-
laneous State news items, three such
paragraphs as the following, which
we found in the Wilmington Stars
news summary one day last week /:
From the AlamanCe Cleaner: ga
number of farmers in the southern
part of the county T purchasing
reapers and binders with which to
harve.t their wheat crops, an indi-
cation that the prospects for wheat
are good"
From the Lincoln Journal "NOt
withstanding the poor prospects FOR
a wheat crop, the farmers Of this
country have bought harvesting ma
chinery right along, \ sight on
Main street Saturday was IA string
of nineteen wagons loaded with
Champion reaper,, headed by a
Champion reaper ALREADY set up.
This represented auI- one delivery
by Mes~rs r 2. BeaI & CO OF bar
vesting machinery sold hv them this
season.
From the Stanley Enterprise An
encouraging sign of prosperity
among our farmer friends Is the fact
that they are investing in a higher
class of machinery and farming i'm
Dlements than ever before, and are
giving more attention to the farm.
They are using more fertilizers, they
plow deeper and better, and the
farm generally gives evidence Of
more life "
These random clippings selected
from one issue If one paper illustrate
the rapidly growing interest in i'm
proved farm machinery in North
Carolina. And in bringing attention
to the economy ~ using mp to date
implements the ost-deplorel scarcity
of labor - proving ii blessing in dis
guise. one OF the most marked fea-
lures of our present day agriculture
IS the substitution Of the most i'm
proved farm tools Tor the old-style
ones, which only the very rich
farmer can now afford 10 use others
cannot. and ne viii not, afford the
waste incurred by the use Of inferior
and ineffective implements.

THE SUPREME COURT ON THE CONsT1
TUITION VS.. EXPANSION.

By far the most important decision
handed down in an American court
for twenty years-and we do not
think that this is stating the case
strongly enough-was the decision
of our United States Supreme Court
in the Insular cases, announced afew
days ago. Last week we gave a brief
outline Of the decision, but as we
believe a matter Of such far.reaChing
Importance deserves a fuller notice,
we give below the very clear and
easily understood explanation of it's
meaning, as given in the leading edi.
torial of the New York Outlook of
the 8th inst. Says DR.. Abbott:
Some of our contemporaries ap-
pear to think that the decisions Of
the Supreme Court in the Insular
cases lack clearness and conference.
We are not of that opinion. They
appear to US entirely clear in them
selves. They constitute a coherent
and homogeneous system of doctrine
respecting taxation in foreign pos
sessions of the United States. What
ever criticism those who are disap-
pointed in the result may make upon
their soundness, we a discover no
ground for criticising them for lack
of either clearness or consistency
with each other. These decisions as
we understand them affirm three
principles:
/. When Porto Rico was conquered
from Spain and taken possession of
by the United States Army, it passed
for the time being under military
authority. In order that govern
ment be maintained, it was indis-
pensable to provide O revenue. The
authority to provide such revenue,
with the authority to exercise all
other governmental functions, was
vested for the time being in the mill
tary. Therefore the order of Gen.
Miles extending the Spanish regula-
tiOns for the collection Of taxes, in
Guiding customs, and the subsequent
order of the President as Com
mander-in-C Chief on the same subject,
were a lawful exercise of legitimate
authority, and the taxes collected
under these orders we're lawfully
collected.
II. When, by the Treaty Of Paris,
Porto Rico was ceded by Spain to
the United States, it ceased to be
foreign and became domestic terri
tory. Therefore the Dingley tariff.
which is levied only on goods COM
ing into the United States from
foreign countries, ceased to aDDIv TO
imports coming into the United
States from Porto Rico. No action
was required by Congress to repeal
the Dingley tariff it ceased to per
ate as against Porto Rico so soon as
by the treaty Porto Rico ceased to
he Spanish territory and became
United States territory. Taxes col
lected under the Dingley tariff on
goods coming into the United States
from Porto Rico were illegally col
lected and can be recovered from
the government.
III. But while by the treaty Porot
Rico became United States territory.
