the crop of 1901, $4,000 bushels of wheat on1
from the 1902 crop 5000 bushels. The cron +b;a
year vii be smaller than last years. The oon
eral opinion is that the fly has got such 2 stor4
here, that wheat farming will have to be abon
doned unless some means of destroying the A.
can be devised. Some think that if no wboo4
were sown for a few years, the insect would have
no place for the deposit of the eggs and tho
battling with the fly can be suggested, this Milan
will probably be tried, as few farmers will ris,
sowing full crops again. Wheat is an expensive
crop. The proper preparation of the ground. the
~seed-wheat, the fertilizer and the drilling are al
expensive. The money invested in Catavba
County in every wheat crop by the time the
wheat is put into the ground is quite consider
able. Our farmers are very loath to give IN
their bread crop. They have studied wheat Gull
ture more thoroughly than any other branch of
agriculture, and are noted for their success in
the business. But the fly is about to prove too
much for them. What they will turn their wheat
fields to, we do not know, but they will probably
plant cotton, sweet potatoes and oats"
Professor Sherman speaks as one having au-
thority; the remedies he proposes are simple and
inexpensive; and we shall be glad if our ex-
changes in the infested region will reprint his
article and thus bring it to attention of the
largest possible number of wheat growers.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

We have our mind given US, not that 1t may
cavil and argue, but that it may see into some
thing, give us clear belief and understanding
about something, whereon we are then to proceed
to act. Doubt, truly, is not itself a crime. Ger
tainly we do not rush out, clutch at the first
thing we find, and straightway believe that. All
manner of doubt, inquiry, about all manner OF
objects, dwells in every reasonable mind. 1t IS
the mystic working of the mind on the object it
is getting to know and believe. Belief comes
out of all this, above ground, like the tree from
it's hidden roots. But X X < that a man
parade his doubt and get to imagine that debat-
ing and logic is the triumph and true work of
what intellect he has; alas, this is as if you
should o~verturn the tree, and instead of green
boughs, leaves and fruits, show us ugly, taloned
roots turned up into the air,-and no growth,
only death and misery going on.-From Carlyle's
Essay, "The Hero as Man of Letters"

THE HEssIAN FLY PROBLEM.

An especially valuable paper is that on page 1
by Entomologist Sherman of our State Depart
ment of Agriculture, in which he discusses the
nature of the Hessian fly, and the best means of
combating the pest. It will be remembered, as
Professor Sherman points out, that he briefly
discussed this matter in our columns two or
three weeks ago, but the reports of a more seri-
Gus character that have since reached us caused
us to ask for this more comprehensive statement.
Here, for example, is an editorial that appeared
last week in the Newton Enterprise:
"The problem in which the farmers of Pied
mont North Carolina are now most interested.
is what to do about the Hessian fly or chinch
bug. Last years wheat crop was so seriously
damaged that farmers did not realize as much
money from their wheat as they spent in sowing
it. This year the damage is more serious and
general than last year. Our State Department
of Agriculture could in no way do a better SER
vice to the farmers of this part of the State than
to assign some of its best specialists to make a
study of this insect and endeavor to discover q
way to destroy it. Some idea of the MONEY! loss
the wheat farmers are sustaining on account of
this pest IS evidenced by the fact that one roller
mill in Newton bought of Catawba farmers from

COMMUNITY POWER" IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The people of North Carolina are to vote Tor
no county, State or National officers this year,
but we are to have a number of elections that
mean vastly more to the communities concerned
than any mere changes in the personnel OF our
public officials would mean-local elections IN
behalf of better roads, better schools, and better
dealing with the liquor problem. There is no
more encouraging indication of State progress
than the frequency with which such elections
are being held. 1t indicates that we are coming
to realize the value of what DR.. Winston calls
Community power" and which he so accurately
interpreted in his address before the North Caro-
lima Society in New York last week.
"There is" he said, "a New North State rapid
Iy building upon the foundations of the Old. 1t
is a new State, as essentially as Idaho, orsOkla-
homa. It's forces are the old forces, newly or
ganized, directed, and intensified. Inc New
North State is no longer a collection of great IN
dividuals, of Badgers, Gastons, and Mangums,
but of great communities, of Durham, Charlotte,
Winston, High Point, and Ashevile. The indl-
vidual is rapidly disappearing as a factor IN the
life of our State. Community power, the great
est of all modern forces, is building up the New
North State. 1t is constructing good roads,
where fifty years ago was impossible rock or
mud; is levying special local taxes for the sup
port of graded schools where fifty years ago the
mere proposition would have caused a revOlu-
ton; is maintaining at the public expense free
rural libraries, where fifty years ago a majority
of the population could not read. Community
power is constructing railroads, securing just
rates of transportation, and developing resources
of soil, climate and people, which lay dormant
before the rare genius of a Morehead, a Cam
eron, or a Murphy. To call these forces to life
and ripen them to full f~ruition was needed the
magic power of a whole community, working
tremendously together for it's own development.
As the minnie ball is more. effective than a hand
full of shot, so the New North State, with it's
compact forces of school district and township,
it's special taxes for roads, for schools, for Ii
braries, its coming taxes for water and light and
transportation, will be more powerful than the
Old North State with its unwieldly and morgan
lied counties its individual g%eniuses and it's I'M
developed people,"

HOW THE FARMER CAN MOVE NEAR TOWN
AND TAKE HIS FARM VT HIM.

Here is a very little item with a very big moral
that we are printing for the especial benefit of
those farmers who are disposed to oppose higher
taxes for road building; it is from the Green's
boro Record of last week:
"The first fruits of GuiIford's good roads bond
issue are being garnered by the real estate
agents. Several deals involving farm property
which had hung fire for some time have been
closed since the election last Tuesday. There is
bound to be an increased demand for Guilford
real estate under the new conditions, and the
whole county will profit thereby"
The reason for this advance in price is not
far to SEEK All over the world it is true that
the nearer land is to market and church and
school, the more valuable is its product, the high
er is its price: But nowadays nearness is more
a matter of hours and minutes than of miles and
furlongs. You are near any place which you can
reach cheaply and quickly; you are far from it
if transportation or communication is slow and
costly% Practically therefore, there are thou
sands of\homes within a hundred miles of Ra-
leigh that are further from the capital of the
State than 1T is from New York.
This is Why railroad building has caused an
emigration from the country. This is why so
many farmers, being many miles from town, are
selling out and buying land at a much higher
price near town.
But this is the wrong way to move. Move
nearer town, to be sure, but instead of selling or
renting your farm, take it with you. This is not
so hard a task as>you may think. On the CON
trary, it is exactly what these GuiIford County
farmers have done. For if you improve your
roads so that you can travel. to market or church
or school twice as fast as you can travel over
your present bad roads, and carry twice as heavy
a 1Oo6 q Q n OOu corrv tboo n Ciy,D1v
move half the present distance to town; you
have only half as far to go; your land Increases
in value just as if it had been picked up and car
ried half way, and you get all the benefits of
nearness to town without leaving the dear old
home or buying higher priced land.
This is the way-and the only sensible, profit
able w~ayA-for the farmer to move near town.
We hope that many farmers in all parts of the
State will give it the same practical test that
our Guilford farmers have given it.

We thank our Duplin correspondent for his

I love the dark and stormy day
The flashing bough, the broken spray,
The swirling and incessant rain,
The pearled and dripping w~indow-pane,
The clouds so dense that one may know
For hours and hours it shall be So.
Click, click upon the shining street
Go scurrying horses nimble feet,
A lone pedestrian slantwise bent
Against the drenching element.
No bird or fowl in tree or sky,
Torn leaves in tumult drifting by,
And rolling with a muf1ed swell
A slowly tolling funeral bell.
Where now the throngs on pleasure bent,
The eager step, the pressed intent?
They must await the sunlight ray;
Storm has no path for such as they.
And fancy now her wand may wave:
[ see the rivulet round the grave,
And with the twilight comes to view
Night closing in on Waterloo.

THE LAST OF BONER's POEMS.

We find in the June number of the Century

titled "Storm," and we publish it in full here

than flows from the thousands OF
springs and rivulots throughout this
section. We have hills and valleys,
plains and woods, and our climate is
health-giving. Many farms now pre-
sent the appearance OF large and beau
tiful lawns surrounding elegant homes
which testify of thrift and prosperity.
Lands which for a long time were con-
sidered Of small value have been made
very valuable by being turned to stock
raising and dairying. A trip through
the country, land especially at this
season OF the year, will convince any
one of the truth OF what we write. We
need more faith 10 our possibilities as
dairy, stock raising and mining
section. Let none be allured to other
parts in the hope Of finding more fer
tile lands or greater opportunities for
investments. The blue grass region of
Wisconsin, all things considered, Is
excelled nowhere, and CT this fact well
posted men are being more and more
convinced year by year.

FOR TARIFF TAX

Commenting on the action OF the ma
tional association of agricultural i'm
plemcnt and vehicle manufacturers 10

waukee Journal says:
"This association represents very
large manufacturing interest; IL seeks
foreign market and finds the pro-
tective tariff standing In It's way. The
great body Of it's membership has al
ways been republican and protection
ist and claims TO be yet.
"The mover of the resolution Is a
stalwart state senator In Wisconsin,
Otis w. Johnson, OF Kenosha and
Racine.
1.-THE body speaking ranks among
the highest In capital invested and
covers all parts Of the country where
any manufacturing Is carried on.

which has yet spoken on the subject.

Lesson in a Rich Mans Life.

A millionaire in New York told the
writer that when be was boy, he let
himself ont by verbal contract for five
years, at $3.50 week, in a large dry
goods store in New York. At the end
of three years. this young man had
developed such skill in Judging goods
that another concern offered bin s., QQC
a year to go abroad as it's buyer. He
says that he did not mention this offer
to his employers, nor even suggest the
breaking of his agreement to work for
$3.50. week, although verbal, until his
time was up.
Many people would say that be was
foolish not to accept the offer mention
ed, but the fact was that his firm, in
which he ultimately became partner,
paid him $4,000 year at the explra-
tion of his S7.50 contract. They. saw
that he was giving them many times
the amount Of his salary, and in the
end he was the gamer. Suppose he
had said to himself: "They give me
only ST. so a week, and l will earn only
81. so week. I am not going to earn
-S5O<a week when am getting only
$3.50" This is what many boys
would have said, and then they would
have wondered why they were not ad-
vanced.

An Interesting Suit Begun.

Anderson, Oct. 25.-In the court of
common pleas yesterday the case of j.
R. Callahan of Honea Path against
the Bank of Anderson was taken up.
This is case Of considerable interest
and Importance. Callahan was mer-
chant at Honea Path and doing his
banking business with the Bank of An
derson. He owed the bank money on
notes which were endorsed, and also
carried an open account, having
money on deposit subject to check.
On one occasion be sent one of his
creditors check, which duly came to
the bank and was there turned down,
being sent back with the endorsement,
"no funds.'' The bank took the money
which was on deposit and applied to
the notes which we're past due. Gala
ham claims that the action of the
bank in dishonoring the check caused
his creditors to press him and he was
forced into bankruptcy, and otherwise
injured and humliltated, and he asks
damages in the sum of $1,000 The
case involves points in law that have
never been fully passed upon in the
courts of this State, and the final out
come will be awaited with interest.
