Something for the Cotton
Planters.
Cotton

Notwithstanding the appeals
made to cotton planters and the
earnest efforts by thoughtful men
to prevent an increase in the
acreage of cotton planted this
year, 1t IS reported that there
Will be an increase, but how
81 eat is not yet stated. Dunn's
review for April 18th, based on
letters from numerous Cores
pondents in the cotton States,
reports and increase, accom- pan
led by the significant statement
that IN consequence of the high
er price Of fertilizers and higher
wages resulting from the scarcity
OF farm labor it will cost on the
average an eighth of a cent a
pound more to raise and saith er
the crop than il did last year.
This Will make the average cost
something more than six cents
pound. with everything point
ing to a decrease in the selling
price, the belief among many
being that with an increased
crop, which will &c the result
with an increased acreage if
there be favorirg seasons, the
price will go as low as f. cents
a pound
The indications are just as
strong on the other hand that
while cotton goes down the cost
OF 5upplle, will go up even
higher than they are now, for
every thing the farmer has to
buy is controlled by Trusts or
com bines Of some kind. He will
have to pay more for the -four,
corn, meat, ETC., he buys than he
does now, and he will have to
do this out of prospectively, and
almost surely lower priced cot
ton, which costs him more to
make. With this prospect III
view, if he persist in increasing
his cotton acreage, the thing for
him to do to help him stand the
pressure and get out as little
damaged as possible, will be to
plant freely of food crops, SO
that he may escape the clutches
of the Trusts and com bines and
live, even if he loses on his cot
ton.-Wilmington Star.

Expensive Cake.

One Of the most expensive
wedding cakes ever manufacture
ed was that utilized at the mar
rage OF Mr.. Vanderbilt with
Miss Elsie F.ench recently.
Distributed throughout the cake
were a number of gold and
diamond trinkets, one being
presented to every guest IN
memory of the occasion. This
valuable confection weighed
nearly 2cwt. before being cut,
and Silver lines were laid down
on the table over which it ran
on a silver trolly from guest to
guest. It's estimated cost was
SIS, 1000.

A Floating Exposition.

The United States is now
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
dong on large scale what
North Carolina has been doing,
though in a much smaller way
for many years, with splendid
results. 1t is proposed to send
around the world a FLOATING ex-
position" Of American p oducts
and manufactures The idea is
good one. A Charlotte man
put it in operation in this State
half a dozen years ago. He had
4 long exhibition car built, the
exterior and interior decorations
Of which depicted North Caro-
lima scenes. He stocked it with
exhibits from all parts Of the
State. The advertising and
much of the exhibit space was
taken and paid for by counties,
cities, boards of trade, trans
portation lines, land, agriculture
al and manufacturing enter
DrIses and by individuals in a
personal capacity. It was sup
piled, too, with North Carolina
literature maps and pictures,
and was kept moving through
most of the United States and
Canada as "North Carolina on
Wheels"
But even the North Carolina
man was going IN TIE wake Of
another-an enterprislng Rhode
Islander who had several years
before fitted up a car with ex~
hibits from the State of Florida
and gone over the country with
it as a sort of "Rolling Exposit~
ion" Both of the cars were a
financial success,

ed by Uncle Sam is to be on

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.
No Town Cnn Afford to lie Behind In
This Matter.

Citizens of st. Louis have recently
begun a movement to make the city
more hcalthful and beautiful and con
SeQuently a more desirable place of
residence. The Post-Dispatch pushes
the work along in this manner:
"Thc suggestion of the Real Estate
Exchange that citizens interest them
selves in the planting of shade trees
has met with Il hearty response. and
an organization is already forming for
the purpose. The unit of this organi-
zation is to be the block committee,
each to look after the trees in that
area.
"The idea is most excellent and will
no doubt prove of great benefit to the
city.
But would it not be well to broaden
the scope of the organization? Let tree
planting be the beginning, but let the
work comprehend ncighborhood and
city improvements of much wider eX-
tent.
"Thc block committees can do much
in the way of keeping the streets
pavcmcntS and sidewalks clean; they
can establish a real inspection Of
sprinklng and regulate many other
similar details of public work which
are neglected by public officers.
Beyond the ncighborhood is the mu-
nicipality. and the possibilities of this
organization in the direction of public
Improvement cannot be calculated.
Personal interest will be awakened by
the smaller duties in the citizens own
block, and naturally this will expand
and cover the entire city"

norrd by other communities that could

GOOD ROADS LESSON.
IndiR Sets nm Example For Thi.
Country to Follow.

British India promises to be the
pattern for the United States in the era
of country road building which the
new century promises, says the st.
Louis Republic. While the agitation
for good roads in this country is of re-
cent date Iudia has perfected 100000
miles of macadamiZed roads that are
superior even to the famous pike roads
Of Indiana and Ohio.
The benefit of these improved high
ways is considered so great in India
that only graduates of civil engineer
ing colleges are permitted to supcrin-
tend their construction. The present
system of roads in that country is the
result of 100 years of experience and
expenditure. The visible results of
these well directed efforts are found
in roads that are, according to n writer
in the last number of The Engineering
News. the best in the world. They
have IS feet of macadam and an earth
portion Of similar width on the sides
for use in dry weather. The roads are
kept in constant repair, it being held
that shOvclful of gravel today is
cheaper than wagon load in the
spring or fall. Annual conventions are
held where matters relevant to the
business are discussed and apprOpri-
ations recommended.
The intelligent farmer of the United
States is beginning to realize the i'm
pOrtance of good roads. The railroads
have always urged the bettermcnt Of
these highways as they realize that
every country road is simply n branch
line Of the railroad. At present kad
weather means delayed shipments Of
grain. Under a system of roads such
as India boasts rain or shine would
affect the market not a jot. The move
ment for hard roads in this state and
country has been too long delayed.
