The rain which fell on last
Sunday night was one of the
heaviest ever seen in this sec
ton. On Monday morning,
when the people of this city
began to move out to attend
to their business, they found
the water running in the
streets like rivers. Bush ave-
nue. was flooded from one end
to the other, and there were
several families who could not
get out from their homes till
late in the day; while on East
Woodford street there were
several places where business
men were compelled to wade
through the water on their
way down town.
People of the county coming
in to attend county court re-
ported that Salt and Chaplin
rivers and the streams rum
ming into them were out of
their banks, and that a vast
amount of damage was being
done by the immense rush of
waters, fences and crops being
washed away all along their
courses.
The damage to the turn
pixies by washing, and by the
deposit of mud from the hills,
is almost incalculable, as it
will be necessary to entirely
reconstruct the road in many
places. This will involve a
considerable expense, but it is

Here is a matter to which we have
more than once before directed atten-
tion-a very strong argument for the
Appalachian Park. Says the Gastonia
Gazette:
"The trees on the mountain sides
the giant oaks-are being cut down
just to be stripped of their bark for
the tanners. Only S. a ton for bark,
and the timber rots on the spot. North
Carolina will need that timber ere
long. And the forests are being made
bare and the lowlands subjected to the
destructive floods all for a little tan
banrk. The government will have to
hurry if it gets a forest reserve of
original timber"

We confess we haven't any idea as
to how the evil is to be remedied, but
what our New York correspondent
said last week regarding the taxation
of unimproved property is we'll worth
thinking about. We reprint his OBJ
~servations on this point:
"Now [ maintain that when a man
is land poor, and will sell none of his
farms but neglects the whole, his
farms should be taxed higher and
higher until the land should be con-
fscated or sold or improved. But it is
just the other way. The more the land
is improved the higher are the taxes,
and thus an incentive is given to Iazi-
ness and cussedness."

COTTON ACREAGE SLIGHTLY DECREASED.

Latham, Alexander & Co., the noted
cotton commission merchants of New
York City, have just issued a state
ment, based on replies from 2,7S6 cor
respondents in the Cotton Belt. The
PSI replies from North Carolina and
Virginia indicate a decrease of 9 per
cent. in the cotton acreage in these
States. We make the following ex-
tracts from the circular letter that has
just reached us:
"The total estimated decrease of
cotton acreage in the United States
for 1902 is 2 $40, or 632,988 acres less
than last year, and the average plant
ing of the crop is about five days later.
"There has been little necessity for
~replanting this season, and any delay
IN planting and termination is being
rapidly overcome by ~seasonable wealth
er. Stands are generally reported to
be excellent; plants healthy and cult
walton good. The necessity for plant
ing more land in grain has checked the
normal increase in cotton acreage"

public sentiment is once awakened the
farmer will get what he demands, and
if they can once be brought to see the
tremendous advantage and the accrued
value to lands by reason of these adj
vantages to which they are entitled,
Congress will find a way to give the
farmers their own. Walaces' Farmer

ORGANIZATION NECESSARY FOB FAR.
MERs.

| have been a careful reader of the
Planter for the past three years, and
think any one who reads it can profit
by it far more than the small cost Of
the subscription. But there is one
subject that [ have not seen treated,
so far as [ remember, and that is the
disposal of the crops to the best ad-
vantage after they are produced. The
rapid formation of trusts and comb.
nations of capital in every other line
of business leaves the farmer in a
helpless condition as to the price be
has to pay for every article which he
consumes, and also fixes the price on
everything he has to sell. It seems as
though there ought to be a remedy for
this; and yet, with all the object les
sons of the past before them, the
farmer, as a class, does not seem to
have advanced in this direction a sin
gle step in the last fifty years. The
Grange movement, which was started
some thirty years ago, looked as
though it would tend to emancipate
the farmer from the shackleS that
bound him, and [ believe that IN
places where its teachings have been
persistently followed, it has resulted
in a vast amount of good to those con-
nected with it. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that unless some organization
is effected which will unite the great
bulk of the farming population SOL
idly, Sc that it can be controlled IN
their interest, the day is not far dis
tant when the tillers of the soil will
be grinding out a proftless existence,
and the slaves of those who have taken
better advantages of the opportunities
placed before them. AS the Grange
already has an existence, and is used
to an advantage in several States (aI-
though | do not know of a subordinate
Grange in the State of Virginial
would it not be we'll for the farmers OF

and see if it would not be to their adj
vantage to join in and cooperate with
