NO NEED TO GO WEST.
The Fate Of Yadkin Man Ought to Tsach g
Lesson.
(Winston Journal.)


A sad lesson is to be learned from the
fate of poor Adams, the Yadkn county
man who yielded to dependency and
hanged himself on Sunday. Some months
ago he converted his property into cash
and moved to the west" There he was
handicapped by new and strange sur
roundings by the hustle and the push
with which he was unfamiliar, by
methods and markets and climatic con-
ditions that simply appalled,: and, bank
rupt and detected, he returned to the
home of his father to begin again the
struggle fer existence. For few weeks
he meditated over his condition, brood
ing over fate, and then sought surCease
from sorrow in a suicides grave. Not
many. perhaps, and very few we hope,
Will have so disastrous an experience as
led Mr.. Adams to dependency; but the
fact, nevertheless. is that the experiment
of going west is fraught with danger eX-
cepting to those who are well supplied
with money. One who succeeds there
nowadays must have ample resources
money. enterprise and untiring industry
and we submit that these elements will
enable man to prosper anywhere, and
that the man who can prosper in the
uncertain fluctuations of western life
ought to amass a fortune in North Caro-
lima. This State holds out alluring in
ducements to the farmer who win adopt
the up-to-date methods that he finds
in the West, and offers equally as fertile
soil, better markets, a superior eli
mate. and, something no part of the West
can secure, good water and plenty of it..
North Carolinians who are moving West
are taking unnecessary chances with their
futures.
