THE PRICE OF COTTON TIES.

dispatch from Pttsburg says that
The trust has named price of eighty
cents bundle for cotton ties in lots Of
5000 for next seasons delivery" The
prevailing price during the cotton season
has been $120. Bradstreets says there
is much speculation as to the cause OF
the reduction. Some think it is fear
OF competition. some to encourage the
planting of large crop Of cotton thus
creating large demand for ties, but
neither seems to be satisfactory. This
comment from the Charleston News and
Courier is pertinent:
THE most interesting feature of the
move, as it appears to us, is the fact
which it exhibits of the power OF the
monopoly to fix the price of an article OF
so large demand and Importance at its
arbitrary will and pleasure, without re-
gard to any industrial or other condition
If it can afford to sell ties to bale the
next cotton crop at 80 cents per bundle,
it could as well have afforded to sell them
at that price last year. The added so per
cent was a pure eXaction, rendered effec-
tive Of course, only by the tariif by
which the trust is protected"

RICE CULTURE.

The news from portions of Eastern
North Carolina is that many farmers are
going into the cultivation Of rice. The
circular letter of Dan Talmages Sons
Co, of this week says;
without exception the business of the
season thus far is the heaviest ever eX-
perienced-or, at least the mind of no one
now living runneth back to it's equal
Sales of the week were over three times
that of equal period last year, and sales
of the month over double. The year
closes with every prospect pleasing, out
look unusually favorable and every solid
and substantial reason for the expected
marketing of the balance of the crop at
full current figures. OF course much re-
mains to be done and the time OF plant
ing is not far distant, still, with the for
ward supply totally inadequate to meet
unusual requirements. there is no good
reason why the fortunate possessors of
stock should not firmly resist any con-
cessions and hang on confidently for
higher prices, which are not only among
the possibilities, but among the proha-
bilties rs spring shall approach.
There is large section Of North Caro-"
lima we'll adapted to the cultivation OF
rice: and the outlook is that many more
acres will be planted this year.

TOBACCO AND PROTECTION.

The Southern robacconist, of Rich
mond, Va, thinks the admission of Gu
ban tobacco free of duty would help
rather than harm the American tobacco
grower because the more Havana at
cheaper prices the more blending with
our domestic tobacco, and the better
and cheaper cigars would find greater
demand and insure better business"
Per contra, the Manila American says:
The possibilities of the tobacco bust
ness in the Philippines are very great
Probably not one-f fourth of the land
that is adapted to the profitable growing
of tobacco is now under cultivation.
Free trade between these islands and the
United States would eventually put mil
lions of dollars into the hands of present
and prospective growers. Nowhere in
the world can tobacco be grown under
more favorable conditions than in parts
OF the Philippines

Southern Educational Conference. It Is
pleasant to know that Mr.. j. D. Eggles-

of the 3. F. Johnson Company, has ac-
cepted a similar position and will go to

is the gathering of statistics and infor-
nation of various kinds in regard to the
public school systems of the South, and
especially the rural schools, and to put
this information into shape for publica-
ton in pamphlet form and for the news
papers.
The impetus which this great work
will give to the educational life of the
South. directed by the earnest and able
men at the helm must encourage and
strengthen the efforts of all friends of
public education, and give oneness Of

heretofore been operated With such
men as Dabney. McIver, Alderman and
like men at the head of the new force,

to carry out the well-matured plans, this
new movement promises more for
Southern education than any effort yet
put forth to make the public schools,
particularly in the rural districts, meas
ure up to the vast need of the scattered
country population.
Referring to the value of the South
ern Educational Conferences educational
efforts, DR.. j. L. NJ. Curry, in his an
nual report, just out, to trustees of the
Peabody fund, said:
''It would be unjust not to make spe-
cial mention of one of the most useful
agencies which intelligent patriotism
and wisely conceived beneficence have
organized for the benefit of higher edu-
cation in the South. The Southern Edu-
cation Conference. successor of the

The State apropriates 900 for public
education. besides special appropriation
for,educati0nal objects of near. $3.50, goo.
In addition to this thirty-seven towns
and cities tax themselves to support
graded schools, as do many special dis
tricts. With reference to Institute work
the State appropriates $500 to the county
for Institute work While this is q great
benefit, it is not sufficient to furnish
Institutes Of sufficient length to answer

THE President barely spoke to Gen.

hands with the admiral and lieutenant
general in silence. and.if it had not been
for Mrs. Roosevelt's tact in extending her
hand to the gallant soldier and sailor
and saying a few pleasant words TO each

Spirit of the Press.

FACTS ANSWER CAMPTIGN ISLANDER.
Chatham Record.
During the campaign of 1898 the fusion
speakers and papers boosted greatly OF
the increased sums collected and paid
into The State Treasury by DR.. Cy.
Thompson as Secretary of State. They
were continually boasting about this in
creased revenue, and by some it was
openly alleged that the Democratic Sec
retaries of State had been remss in their
duties for not collecting more than they
had collected.
In answer to this boast and in explana-
tion of the increased amounts collected
by Secretary Thompson, the Democrats
stated that it arose from the increased
receipts from insurance companies, whose
business was increased every year. Sub
sequent events have verified and justified
this explanation. The Democratic Legis-
lature of 1899 took away the insurance
department from the control of the Sec
rotary OF State, and established it as an
independent department with that
staunch Democrat Hon. J. r. Young, as
Insurance Commissioner. During the first
year Of his term Commissioner Young
paid into the State Treasury many thou
sand dollars more than Secretary Thomp-
son had ever done in any year of his
term. And last year he collected and
paid into the State Treasury about $780,,
coo more than during the preceding year.
If fusionists boastcd so much of what
Secretary Thompson did, may not Demo-
Gratis boast of what Commissioner Young
has done?

MORE ABOUT EGGS,

North Carolina is a great hen State.
Gen. Carr was not wrong in his address
at the Poultry Show in attributing much
of the prosperity of the State to the
growth of poultry and the shipment of
eggs. Along this line the Tarboro
Southerner gives this experience of one
of the best farmers in Edgecome county:
DIR. G. l.. Killebrew last year had 375
hens and this is their record: Eggs laid
20,172, set 727, consumed 1,145, sold $4,000
for S221.57. His poultry cost him $121. 40,
leaving profit of S10017, besides what
he consumed and the increase this year
in the number of layers.
Out of 727 eggs set, 676 Matched. How
many he raised he could not say at the
time the reporter saw him. The record
as it stands, however, is very good. y
This beats cotton long sight!
