DIED,

At his residence in Rocky
hook, ChOWan county, Brother
Elisha Horrell, fell dead while
standing i'll his yard, Sunday
morning. the 9th inst, at about
10 o'clock, aged abou: 81 years.
Brother Horrell made a profess
sion of religion in early man
hood and joined the church at
Rocky Hook, and remained a
consistent christian until his
death. He leaves a wife and
seven children, and many rela
tives and friends to mourn their
loss. believing our loss to be
his eternal gain, we mourn not
as for those for whom we have
no hope.
How blest and happy is the man
Who walketh not astray,
In COunsels of ungodly men,
Nor stand i'll sinners way.
Nor sitteth in the sCoruer's chair,
But places his delight
Upon Gods law, and mcditates
Upon his law both day and night
He shall be like tee that grows
Beside the river side,
Which in its season yields its fruit,
And green its leaves abide.
And all he does to glory God,
TO please His own dear Son,
And when life's weary days have fed
To say Thy will be DONE

THE GROWTH OF A DECADE.

In an article in the Worlds Work. en-
titled Great Industrial Changes Since
1884," Colonel Carroll d. Wright. commits
sioner Of the United States Department of
Labor. presents some statistics showing the
wonderful development of the country dur
ing the past -four years. AS Colonel Wright
knows both how to collect statistics with
accuracy and to use them honestly and in
diligently. the statements he makes are
worth attention.
1t has been the lament of the professional
pessimist for years that the farms of the
country were falling into the hands of
landlords who rent them TO tenants. Col.
Wright, not with a view Of showing that
the figures do not indicate the absorption of
land by landlords. but to show the growth
OF the basic industry" since 1890. demon
strates that the number of farms by the
last census is over 500, 000-an increase Of
1.14O, 600 in the last decade. This increase is
due, the writer says. TO two causes, namely,
the settlement of government lands and
the division of the larger farms. The size
Of the farm has fallen from 29 acres in
1850 TO 1871 in 1890, with the prospect of a
further decrease i'm size when the figures Of
the census of 1900 are published. In 1880 the
estimated value of the products of the
farms was 50, AGO. 900, 600; the census of 1900
will make the value over $5,000,G % ,00. In
1880 there were S55, 415 manufacturing estab-
lishments; the schedules OF 1900 show $685.
co. The total value of the products, in
Guiding receipts for custom work. in 1890
was 1892, lS7, go; from the figures thus far
collected. a conservative estimate for 1900
is SIS, OOO. coo. zoe. Great industries nave been
born during the decade. No tin plate was
made in this country in 1890; last year near
~ a billion pounds was made and only los.
4S4,S26 pounds was imported. The wealth
of the country in 1890 was put at SIS. O97, O91,
1877. The best estimates for 1900 place the
wealth of the country between 100000, 900, 900
and $4,000. 900. 600.
More important than the increase of
wealth is the condition of labor. The figures
for 1909 are not given, but, putting the
wages of 1850 at 100. those of 1890 We're 1893
and those OF 1893 were 1852. The weekly
earnings of 73.o0 wage earners in Massa-
chusetts rated at 100 in February. 1898, were
l09.S4 in April, 1901. On the basis of relative
wholesale prices. making 100 the basis in
1860, as much could be purchased in 1880
for 96.3 and in 1899 for $50. Taking the in
crease in wages from 1860 10 1899. measured
by purchase power. the wage earners got
90 per cent. more wages in the later period
than in the former-an amount well-nigh
double. Wage earners are the chief de-
p~ositors in savings banks; i'm 1890 there were
4,53S,2l9 depositors. with 81. 3,079. 149 of de-
posits. while in 1900 the number of de-
positors was 6.107, 0SS. and their deposits ag-
gregated $3.50. 1854. Yet men will go about
declaring that the condition of the mass of
creasing years.

The principles OF the Socialists, as pro-
mulgated in the convention recently held
in this city, are not all equally vicious.
Something can be said in favor of state
ownership of railroad and telegraph lines
ard other public utilities. and. although the
proposition seems too visionary for serious
discussion. it is not inherently vicious. This
cannot be said Of some of the other declara-
tions. One of the worst was that against
the militia. AS first reported this resoiu-
ton declared that mo member OF the So
cialist party shall become a member OF the
state militia" After discussion this was
finally amended to read. mo member of the
Socialist party shall become a member OF
any armed force of the capitalist class
The amendment was made so as To cover
enlistment in the regular army as well as
I'm the militia, 1t being insisted that Social
lists must not belong to any military o-gani-
zation that might be used against strikers.
Nothing could be more vicious than this
declaration. Without reference to the nu-
merical strength OF the Socialists or their
present ability to cripple the militia. the
declaration stamps them as bad citizens
and enemies Of law and order and free
government.
The Importance and necessity of a we'll
organized state militia in a free govern
ment was one of the first principles TO he
recognized by the trainers of the Consti-
tuition. 1t was recognized as one Of The
defects under the old confederation that
must be Temedied under the new govern
ment. No claus i'm the Constitution re-
ceived more hearty support from members
of the convention than the one relating TO
the militia as 1t now stands. After he Con-
stitution was adopted Congress lost no
time in passing a militia law. and since
1872 the country has never been without
one. Almost every President. from Nash
ington to Lincoln, emphasized the impor-
lance OF maintaining a militia. Washington
alluded TO the subject in his first annual
message and in several subsequent mes
sages. Presidents Jefferson. Adams. Mad
ison. Monroe. Jackson and their successors
all urged the Importance and value Of
maintaining the state militia. some of them
in several messages. After Jefferson has
retired from the presidency he wrote 10
