MR.. BRAKES WISDOM.

The farmers, merchants, business men
and editors throughout the entire South
are discussing the cotton question. With
out exception they agree that wisdom die
tates the reduction of the cotton crop
and the raising of hog and hominy. One
of the most successful and wisest farm
ers in the South is Mr.. Jesse Brake, of
Edgecombe, who has twice represented
that county in the Legislature. Upon any
subject he considers, his views are en-
titled to the highest weight. We make
space here for communication received
from Mr.. Brake yesterday on the duty
of farmers in the cotton country. Mr..
Brake writes:
"Medora, N. c., April 3, 1901.
ITO the Editor: l have waited long and
anxiously to see some of your worthy
writer's on cotton acreage, strike on what
/ consider the best reason why the South
should hold the cotton crop down. |
claimed twenty years ago that it would
not cost the Southern States, as body,
one cent to raise all their supplies as the
cotton crop raised afterward would sell
for more than it has done under the
present system, and according to my cal
culation a Klondike is no name for it. If
my reasoning is wrong, l hope some one
will set me right, as | have been at work
along this line for thirty years. / claim
that nine million (450 pound) bales of
cotton on an average will sell for nine
cents a pound which would bring 1884,
SOC, 900, and that twelve million (45O
pound) bales will sell for six cents per
pound, or $324,0OO,O 900 which leaves $4O,-
SOC, 900 to the credit of the nine million
bale crop to start with. We still have
to our credit the three million bales be-
tween the nine and twelve million crop
at six cents per pound $S1, 100000 that
we have in home supplies with $4O,50O,00O
between crops added would leave $121,-
500 900 in favor of the nine million crop.
NV mathematics is poor as my English,
but | want the people to think along
this line. AS farmers, we are what we
make ourselves.

SPANISH PEANUTS.

If the nickel-in- the-slot invention to
drop a nickel in the slot and get a pack
age of fine shelled Spanish peanuts sue
ceeds it will be fine thing for the farm
ers of Halifax county and for the peni-
Tertiary, too. It will tend to increase
the consumption and demand for pea
nuts and not make the farmers ask the
penitentiary to quit Cutting the market
by raising a big crop of those peanuts.
Heretofore the demand has been confined
to confectioners and large crop sent
the price down.
Recently the Columbian Peanut Com
pany, of Norfolk, has purchased $50, 600
worth of Spanish peanuts, paying about
20 cents bushel. But for this large pur-
chase says the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot,
the growers of Spanish peanuts would
have been heavy losers, as the crop is
large and the usual demand for Spanish
peanuts is limited. If the new demand
continues, it will be great profit to
owners of lands adapted to the cultiva-
ton of peanuts.

In a recent address to the students of

NEW SYSTEM NEEDED.

The conviction of Martin for embezzle-
ment of funds from the State Treasury
shows that the system of bookkeeping
in the Treasury Department needs to be
changed. Martin stole large sums of
money Systematically, and yet the out
going State Treasurer did not know any
thing about it. The office was transfer
red to the new State Treasurer who did
not know of the deficit until two months
had elapsed.
The committee now investigating the
Martin embezzlement will. no doubt,

abled Martin to steal without detection,

VIRGINIA MORE FORTUNATE.

Referring to the fact that though in
jured, Valentines marble statue of JEFF
ferson was saved from the burning of the
Hotel Jefferson while Canova's marble
statue of Washington was demolished
when the North Carolina capitol was
burned in Raleigh, the Richmond Dis
patch gives this interesting bit of his
tory:
1T is recognized that the destruction
of Canova's Washington involved the
greatest loss in plastic art this country
has ever sustained. 1t left the Houdon
Washington in the copitol in this city
the only authentic marble of Washington,
so to speak, in existence The Houdon
was modelled from life, and if we mis-
take not, the 'portraiture,' or head, of
the Canova was modelled from the Cerac-
chi bust, which in turn had been taken
from life. Chief Justice Marshall is quo
ted as saying that from one point of view
in our capitol rotunda the Houdon was a
speaking likeness of Washington, and La
fayette is said to have pronounced the
Canova triumph in poTtraiture, and to

THE NEW JUDGES.

Governor Aycock more than two years
ago, in conversation with a friend, said
that one of the most important services
that a Governor could render in the high
office, was the appointment of men of
real ability independence of thought and
high character to the bench. Most of the
judges elevated to the bench have been
named by the Governor, and it is largely
due to the wise exercise of the appointing
power that, until the Fusionists came
along with their so-called non-partisan
judiciary, the judiciary of North Carolina
was composed of the States ablest law
yers.
The Governor yesterday appointed Hon.
Francis D. Winston, of BERTHE, Judge of
the Second Judicial District, and Hon.
George A. Jones, of Macon, judge of the
Sixteenth Judicial District. He had prev
iously appointed Hon Michael Hoke Jus
tice, of Rutherford, judge of the Thir-
teenth District. That appointment met
with universal approval. The two latest
appointments deserve to be received with
the same approval for they are equally
fit to have been made. Mr.. Justice will
make a model judge. Learned in the law,
dignified, grave, honest and judicial, his
ripe experience will bring to the bench
those qualities needed in the man who
holds the scales of justice.
Mr. Winston has been at the bar TWEEN
ty years He is a ripe scholar, a learned
and industrious lawyer, brilliant talker
and eloquent speaker, a just and honest
man, and his career on the bench will
make him one of the States best and
most popular judges.
Mr. Jones is a lawyer of long experience
at the bar, legislator of approved use
fitness, solicitor who ranked with the
best the State has known, studious and
learned lawyer, an upright and incorrup-
tible man, gentleman of ability and
character. He will worthiIy wear the err
mine and more than justify the high ex-
pectations of his friends.
In these appointments the Governor
has lived up to his high ideals and the
just expectations of the people of the
State

Gets Gay with Elephant.

mixed up with the elephant in the Lin
coin Park zoo yesterday, and the young
man did his laughing early in the game,

A crowd of children were feeding the
elephant cookies, peanuts, and sweets,
when the wearer of the light suit got
playful. Trusting his hand into one
of his pockets he produced a quantity
of ''phony' peanuts and threw them
at the elephant. They were eagerly
picked up, but when the animal found
the shells were filled with paper adver-
tisements it expressed it's displeasure
by shaking it's head and trunk.
Here the young mans visibility be-
came active, but the pachyderm was
counting time and soon it's turn TO
turn to move came. 1t lowered its
trunk into a pool of mud near by, then
pointing at its tormentor, let fly a
volley of slime and water. All over
the light suit, the straw hat, and the
mirthful young man the mud spatter-
ed The crowd laughed, the elephant
turned its trunk into clean water and
spurted vigorously, while the joker
found he had urgent business else
where.
