Profitable Farming in Northampton
(Roanoke-Chowan Times.)

In the spring of 1901 Mr.. r. G. Benthall
and brother of Menola. Hartford county
bought a Roanoke farm, situated about
five miles from Rich Square, paying
SO, 500, for it. Many predicted that the
Benthalls would lose money on the farm
but those who knew them we'll said
wait and see.' Their farm manager
told us a few days ago that an accurate
account of expenses were kept and that
they cleared over and above expenses
$4,000, on that one farm last year, not
withstanding the unfavorable seasons
There are hundreds of instances of sue
cessful farming in this section. We
ask our correspondents to occasionally
relate some of these that our young
men may learn that there is money in
farming.

LYNCHING MIGHT BE LESS FIRE
QUENT.
Concord Tribune.

OUHCUTd .ITIDune.
In his offer of the reward for the
conviction of the Rowan lynchers Cover
nor Aycock will no doubt have the high
est endorsement of the good people of
Rowan county. Lynchings might be less
frequent if such vigorous action as this
becomes the rule. AS a matter of course
quick and effective punishment by law
must also be expected if people are to
respect the law and have confidence in
leaving such cases for the dealings of
the law. Governor Aycock is right in
this case and deserves to have the CO.

A DISGRACE TO OUR CIVILIZATION
Asheboro Courier.

The recent outbreak of lawlessness in
the Salisbury lynching is somewhat sur
prising when it is remembered that out
side of the large criminal class of ne
groes in that county, there is no where
a more law-abiding people.
1t is true in sparsely settled sections
our women often have to be left alone,
but the law gives them protection against
the iends incarnate who commit rape and
murder. Every lynching is a violation
of law, disgrace to our civilization.
Protection is given by law, and the rifle
and rope should not be resorted to.
Wherever a crime is committed there is
law to punish the criminal

WHY so MANY YOUNG MEN LEAVE
OUR STATE.
Gazette Messenger.

Gazette Messenger.
The remark has been made that North
Carolina is a good State to move from,
and Judging from the number of men
of brains, pluck and energy who in the
past have gone and are still going to
other States to seek a livelihood 1T seems
that a good many believe in the truth
of the saying.
This emigration is of class that the
State can least afford to lose. The
worthless, shiftless, those we could best
spare, who are of no good or credit to
the State, stay at home and the bright
brainy young men who wish to make. a
name for themselves go beyond her bor-
ders to better their condition. Many, of
the brightest and most prominent men
of other States are natives of North
Carolina, men born and educated in this
State, who when the time arrives to be-
gin their life work seek other fields of
labor where greater rewards await their
industry. We find in the halls of Con-
gress, on the bench, in journalism, in
the pulpit and in other honorable posi-
tions North Carolinians, who are credited
to the States of their adoption.
Our State has suffered greatly from
this in the past and this deplorable con-
dition seems likely to continue indie
lnitely unless something is done to stop
this drawing on our States best re-
sources.
What is the reason for this almost
universal desire to abandon this State
for other fields of labor, this general
belief that greater opportunities are of
fered elsewhere? That a prophet is
not without honor save in his own coun-
try is as true today as when it was
divinely spoken nineteen hundred years
ago.. While we let our young men go to
other States to seek positions they
should be given at home, we seek beyond
our borders for men not a bit better
qualified for the positions given them or
worthy of the honors conferred upon
them than the ones we let go forth
among strangers to win the honors and
regulations they should receive at home.
home.
When North Carolina learns to APP
preciate her own sons and to make it
worth while to stay at home this unfor-
tunate condition of affairs will cease
and not till then.

WHAT WHITE IMMIGRATION DOES

WHIIGVIII6 TTbSS.
There is one factor in this solution
which has never been as seriously con-
sidered as it should have been or it's i'm
portance as fully realized as it should
have been. That is immigration. Every
white person that comes into and settles
in the South contributes to the solution
of the problem. which must eventually
become question of numbers. Where
the white people outnumber the black it
will be no difficult problem to handle.
Where the black outnumber the white. or
equal them in number, it will always be
a problem, and sometimes a troublesome
one.
While our people here have never had
trouble with the negro yet in this county

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
Goldsboro Argus. I

The proclamation OF Governor Aycock
as to the Salisbury lynching is whole
some to every man in the State who has
respect for law and pride of State and
regard for justice, and it is to be hoped
that the Governors commendable action
may result in bringing to trial and to
justice those who participated in the
murder of a 10-year old child-without
substantial evidence of his guilt, and he
protesting his innocence of the crime
for which he was lynched, and which the
law had already taken in hand and stood
ready to duly avenge.
The law is the only shield which a
people have against anarchy and dire
calamity from either mob violence or
organized power and respect for law in
the hearts of the people is the only
hope of the perpetuity of our free insti-
tutions and the bulwark of our constitu-
tional guarantees of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
The law has been fearfully outraged
at Salisbury and the mob who so
wantonly set it at naught should be
punished.

"CHAS B. AYCOCK.
Governor of North Carolina
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
says: 1.-THE site for the encampment has
been selected on the Hammocks, an is
land between the mainland and a PENN
sula strip. Between these is Wrightsville
Sound, which flows in from the ocean,
and beyond the strip of beach is the At
lantic ocean. On the strip of beach are
cottages, club houses and hotels facing
the ocean, within 200 yards of the surf.
In Wrightsville Sound proper is what
might be called still water, subject only
to the fluctuations of the tide. On the
island deeply shaded with live oaks, the
regiment will have such seclusion as is
desirable together with the facilities af-
forded for moonlight sails, fishing par
ties and trips to and from the beach on
a trolley line passing the island every
fifteen minutes In addition to this the
regiment will be furnished with sail boats
and fishing tackle for leisure moments,
and the hospitable city of Wilmington
will have it's doors open to the gallant
sons of Georgia during their stay.
