Country Distilleries.

To the Editor: Let me express my ap-
probation of the high moral standing of
your editorial columns especially on the
liquor question. So many editors of our
large dailies are either SO mortally
afraid of the sneers of the liquor men.
or are so fond of their bloated flattery
that they shiver to their shoes if any
one suggest to them to mention the great
curse they are bringing on our land and
country.
l tell you, sir, we know what the evils
of these country distilleries are as here
they are corrupting our manhood, bring
ing ignorance, poverty. suffering on our
women and children, and destroying indie
pendence and freedom at our ballot boxes.
The townships in our county that have
the distilleries in them are ruled po-
litically by the revenue officers, and the
citizenship does not value it's oaths as
it should
When the manhood of our State an
nounced itself and upholds the editor who
has the backbone to condemn evil,
whether it is popular or not, then we will
have freedom and independence and
purity. Yours truly,

Tobacco Notes.
(Wilson Times.)

Reports are current in Richmond, Va,
that after January first the Imperial
branch of the American Tobacco Com
pany will withdraw it's buyers from the
United States and all of the tobacco
will be hereafter bought through the
American Company.
We hope that the tobacco growers will
organize at their coming meeting in
ocky Mount next Friday, December 18th,
and formulate some plan by which the
farmers may be able to secure fair
prices for their tobacco.
Tobacco is very low. Whether it will
go lower or not remains to be seen, but
if we had tobacco we should wait until
after the first of the year before selling.
1t seems to US that the tactics of the
American Tobacco Company would in
dictate that they are trying to let the
bottom out of the market in order to
scare the independent buyer off the mar
ket so that they may get rid of him as
a troublesome pest. Doubtless they hope
to do this before planting time when
they must put the prices of tobacco up,
or else the farmer will not raise it. We
expect to see about the first OF February
when the plant beds are sown prices
advance some. This, of course, will en-
courage the farmer to plant large crop.
He will, however, be very foolish if he
allows himself to be fooled into thus sell
ing his crop again next fall at ruinous
prices. The farmers might as we'll make
up their minds to take the bull by the
horns, raise their own supplies, meat
and corn, and put their surplus land into
cotton and tobacco, being careful not to
raise in the aggregate more than the
world needs in order to insure fair
price They should also place themselves
in an independent position so they will
not have to market their tobacco all at
once in August and September, thus
leaving the impression upon the Ameri-
can Company that a large crop has been
made When any crop is thrown on the
market all at once it has tendency to
depress prices.
Anothe- thing we want to say, and it

!. This: This crop of tobacco is going
a. he exhausted all at once. Some day
IN the near future tobacco men will
,,-alyo ND and find the tobacco about all
cold And why do we say this? Simply
tocouse we all known that the present
cron is not large one, and We know
tb.t never in the history of the tobacco
trode has the weed been sold so rapidly.
Thie has been the case everywhere. Good
,,rices, good weather and favorable sea-
CONS have caused the rush. and on ac-
count of this fact some markets are run
ming wild More warehouse room is de-
r,anded in some places. Many markets
orc banking on selling more pounds than
avor before. This may be so with
few. but not many. The crop is nearer
sold than many think.
we may say what we please about the
future. but as to the present we are
safe in saying that we are long ways
from an over production. We might go
further and say that the supply is not
EQUAL to the demand.-Southern Tobacco

The Inland Waterway.

Editor Manufacturers Record:
At a recent meeting Of the Business
Mems Association of this town Congress
man John Small, of North Carolina, the
champion of the inland waterway from
Baltimore, Nd, to Beaufort Inlet, N. c.,
addressed its members in behalf of the
project. The ideas and arguments he pre-
scented We're forcible and convincing. His
plan. in short. is to provide a channel by
way of the North Carolina sounds and
canals of eighteen feet in depth between
the points above mentioned, in order that
small sailing vessels and barges may be
utilized in the coastwise traffic from
Florida north. No tolls will be collected.
Today the dangers of Capes Lookout and
Hateras and the high rates of marine
insurance they impose prohibit the use
of small sailing vessels and barges, which
are the cheapest modes of transportation
that can be utilized. The undertaking,
he noted, was exceeding great, but with
the facts and figures behind it and the
right men at the guns he feels confident
of success.
The president of the association was
authorized to appoint committee of
three TO look up such data as was de-
sired by Mr.. Small Immediate steps will
be taken along this line, and a complete
readable report will be handed over to
him by December 10.
The waterway will be of great value
not only to Edenton and North Caro-
lima, but to the entire South Atlantic
coast, and every effort should be put
forth by the people of the South toward
aiding Mr.. Small and his associates in
the undertaking.
