SOUND ADVICE.

The unprecedented large sales of fer
tilizers throughout the South is largely
responsible for the slump in the price
of cotton The mills in Europe as well
as in this country are advised as to the
preparations for the NEXT crop. They
believe it will be unprecentedly large,
and therefore they are refusing to pay
what this seasons crop is worth: The
farmers are not only going to- get a
small price for the next crop, but they
are depressing the price of cotton on
hand and not sold by this preparation
for a large cotton crop. They are rob
bling themselves in both the present and
the future
We print elsewhere an interview with
Hon. Samuel l.. Patterson State Com
missioner of Agriculture, that contains
sound advice to farmers. This inter-
view ought to be widely copied, ought
to be read by every farmer in the cot
ton section and ought TO be needed. 1t
is wise and sound advice.
Plant more hog and hominy and less
cotton. That's the plain duty of the
South today.

PLANT LESS COTTON

The Atlanta Constitution in an elabor-
ate and well considered editorial urges
the farmers to plant less cotton this year
and raise more corn and meat. 1t says
provisions will be dearer next fall-that
the world is in a condition of war ex-
-pectancy-and it will take two pounds OF
cotton or even more to buy one pound OF
bacon.
The farmers can now change land plow-
ed for cotton and plant it in corn. Pigs
ought to be raised rather than so much
cotton 1t takes less labor to raise hog
and hominy,' and it looks like the farm
er who raises plenty OF it will be hog
in next fall.

MARYLAND's ELECTION Law.

1--WE have no apologies to make for
our course
These are the words used by Senator
German in concluding an interview
about the new election law adopted IN
MARYLAND He shows Maryland's gain
in population since 1890 has been 147,-
$50 in men. women and children. In
this same period the registered vote has
increased 81, 1O2, or 24.1S7 more than Is
honest. The Republicans repealed the
old election law requiring residence
and permitted thousands of men VINO
live in Washington city to vote in Mary
land. Many negroes, without settled
homes. have voted and TIE illegal vote
has disfranchised the honest vote or
bona fide residents. The fraudulent
Federal census gave the Republicans
q big advantage as did the sneak Re-
publican gerrymandering of the city Of
Baltimore Corruption and bribery
was practiced by permitting poll-hold-
forbidden and if man buys another's
vote he cannot be certain that the vote
is delivered. Mr.. Gorfnans interview
shows that the Maryland Republicans
have followed the tricks and corrup-
ton to keep themselves In power which
they invariably adopt when they carry
any Southern State. he says that fair
ness demanded the changes in the cleo
ton law which have been made. Mr..
German is wise and astute
politician and Statesman. The
changes have been mapped out
and executed under his direction,
and while he claims no partisan
advantage, it is generally under
stood that, aside from the large gains
the Democrats will make by stopping
imported votes. they will gain $4,000
votes by DISTINGUISHING ignorant ne
groes. Maryland has Lever but once
given an honest Republican majority
and that was in 1894, when the Republi-
cans carried it for the first time because
the Cleveland administration gave great
dissatisfaction to the party. The Re-
publicans then made laws to entrench
themselves in power. and have sue
ceeded in retaining power until the last
State election by means Of the import
ed vote. The Democrats won then by
narrow margin in spite of the impor-
tations, and have now passed stringent
laws that will regulate and purify the
suffrage.
Republicanism in Maryland meant
padding the census leturns and fraud
in elections In Kentucky it meant riot
and revolutions; in North Carolina it
meant public degradation, lawlessness
and incompetency; in West Virginia it
meant bribery and corruption. 1t
touches nothing in tile South that il
does not blight

REVIVED INTEREST IN MACON.

speaking Yesterday with President M.
s. Davis, of Louisburg Female College.
about the revival of interest in Nathaniel
Macon, he said that he remembers when
student at the University the boys
were taught to regard Iredell, Davie
Speight, Badger and Graham as the
States greatest men and urged to emu
late their virtues. He says he does not
recollect of ever hearing Macon named
among these greatest of the States sons.
81 never stopped to think of the reason, ;"
he said, until read your explanation in
Sundays News and Observer"
From the day that North Carolina
swung from the Republican (Democratic)
faith after Macons retirement until the
fifties, the most of the educated men of
the State were Federalists or Wings, and
their partisan hatred of Jefferson and
Jeffersonians led them to magnify the
greatness of the great Federalists and
Wings and to minimize the greatness of
To put Macon first among our great men
was to put Republicanism above Federal
ism, and party spirit was too strong for
that even among educators.
The Federal and Wing leaders of North
Carolina were among the greatest men
the State has produced, and in private life
were models for the emulation of the
youth. But the earlier roll of these
giants was tinctured so strongly with
Federalism that they had no faith in the
peoples capacity for self government
And it was here that they differed with
Mr.. Macon, Wiley Jones, Spencer, Blood
worth and other Republican leaders
Archibald Henderson was the highest
type of the Federalist, and yet Mr.. Macon
felt called upon to rebuke him in Con-
gress because Mr.. Henderson had said
that in North Carolina it had been found
necessary. to have judges to protect the
people from their worst enemies, them
selves" Mr.. Macon declared in reply
that he had thought we, the people,
formed this government, and could be
trusted with it." and he offered in pallia-
ton of Mr. Henderson's Federalistic dec
Iaration that he could not have uttered
that sentence had he not been governed
by that passion which he supposed gov
ems Others and Mr.. Macon added with
that directness, wisdom and patriotic
fervor for which he was noted: 1T is
true that we are not a rich and wealthy
State, but it is equally true that there is
no State in the Union more attached to
law and order
The revival of a study of Macon
is revival of those principles in
government which are essential for
the preservation of our liberties. Jeffer-
son, writing to Macon in 1919, paid him a
tribute that ought to be engraved on the
monument the State will some day erect
to its greatest representative. Jefferson
wrote:
While such men as yourself and your
worthy colleagues of the legislature, and
such characters as compose the executive
administration, are watching for us all
! slumber without fear. and review in my
dreams the visions of antiquity"

The fact that the steel trust, if it is

be thoughtfully considered. 1t amounts
to this. that the brain of one man con-
