though in very mild language, to be
sure, the necessity for amending the
Inter State Commerce Act.
His extended reference to the
preservation of our forests is also
timely.
Of the Philippine problem, he says
nothing note worthy, unless we ex-
cept the statement that America has
erred, if at all, by giving the Filipi
nos too much liberty; that we have
assuredIy not given them too little.
The building of the Isthmian Canal
IS urged. Here, we think, and not
in ship subsidies, is where the best
work for our merchant marine can be
don. We hope this Congress will not
adjourn until steps have been taken
for beginning the actual work of dig
ging the canal.
Of all the SUBJECTS discussed the
President speaks most vigorously,
perhaps, regarding the need of a
stronger navy and of the extension
of OWL service. His past record and
utteranoes had prepared the people
TO expect this.
On the whole, we regard the mee-
sage as an able one. It's most note
worthy feature is the appearance of
remarkable impartiality in the dis
oussion of the SUBJECTS. So far from
living up to his reputation for OBJ
stinacy, Mr.. Roosevelt seems to have
gone out of his way TO give "the
other fellows side" of nearly every
question discussed.

The Thinkers.
O THE ASKING.

It is only necessary for some OF
our county people to go over terri
tory, secure signatures to a petition
asking for the establishment Of rural
free delivery and the routes will be
established in due time. This is an
advantage and a convenience our
people can seoure for the asking, and
the party who secures the signatures
can get the salary of $500 per year
for delivering, and the prospects are
good for an increase in salary from
time to time.
Congress has already appropriated
the money and there will be no ad
ditional taxes as a result of these
rutes being located in Rockingham.
If we do not get them other counties
will that's the whole thing in a
MISUNDERSTANDING Review.

NORTH CAROLINA CROP NOTES.

Newspaper reports indicate that
the acreage of the wheat crop now
being sown will be considerably
larger than that sown last year.
The second crop Irish potatoes
grown with considerable profit in the
trucking sections of the East, has
proved more satisfactory this year
than over before. The yield has
been unusually large and fancy prices
have been recei we'd.
The Importance Of the Spanish
peanut industry in the Northeastern
section of the State is not generally
recognized. Norfolk is the great
market. The acreage this year was
10 per cent. larger than last year, but
the News and Observers reports
from many correspondents in the
peanut growing section show that
unfavorahle seasons have caused a
decrease of 26 per cent. in the yield
per acre
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-12-10
IT SHOULD NOT, ANYWAY.

The return of Henry M. Flagler
and his second wife to the South for
their winter residence is accompanied
by the information that a New York
court has ordered FIagler to pay an
annuity of $25, 900 for support of his
first wife, who is still an inmate of
an insane asylum. But neither
prompt compliance with this order,
nor the fact that the Flaglers are
protected in their present relation
by a special law passed by the Lagis-
lature of Florida, will entitle them
to the respect of decent people

MANUFACTURES AND AeR1CULrURE.

costs more to live in a manufactur-
ing town than it does to live in a
town without manufactures. This
is very easy of explanation. There
are more people in a manufacturing
town who have to buy everything
they consume. Gardens and poultry
and the like have to be neglected
frequently by those who work in
manufacturing concerns because
they have little or no time to devote
to such things. The result is that
things usually brought in by farm
ers and others in the country to the
town to market sell at a better price,
because there is more demand for
them. And in all this there are
many reasons why a farmer should
count himself fortunate in living
near q manufacturing town. He
can get better prices for his chickens,
eggs, spare vegetables, milk, butter,
and the like.
