White Pine Log Crop Will be Small.


The manufacturers of white pine in
the Mississippi and Wisconsin valleys
will probably cut fewer logs during
the coming winter than they have for
several seasons past. The determina-
ton to curtail the log cut has not come
through any concerted action, but the
opinion is gaining ground that trade
is not to be as good next year as it
has been for several years Immediately
preceding, and that with the decrease
in demand will come a reduction in the
selling price of lumber, if there is any
over production. Most of the manu-
facturers and especially those who
have to stock their mills with logs
bought on the open market or from
timber recently purchased, cannot sell
lumber at much lower figures than
present market prices and make profit
enough to give them a fair return for
their investments. Rather than sacri-
flee their timber they will hold it, for
eventually it will bring them good re-
turns.
A number Of reasons can be given
why trade next year may not be as
good as during the past few years.
TO commence with, 1904 will be pres
identi al year, and whether with or
without reason, it is an established
fact that trade usually lags during the
year when the presidential election is
uppermost in the thoughts of the peo-
pie of the country. Another reason
why lumbermen and business men in
other lines are drawing lines little
closer for next year, is that the feel
ing is gaining ground that the labor
situation is becoming serious. En-
ployers of labor are organizing to re-
sist the unreasonable demands of their
employees. Sooner or later there will
come definite understanding. The
contest as to which is to have the up
per hands in the running of the bust
ness of the country must be settled.
The present year started out with
every promise of being a most success
full one in all lines. The promise has
nearly been fulfilled. What it lacks
of fulfllment can in a large degree be
attributed to the difficulties in the
labor world. mississippi Valley Lum-

PUBLIC SENTIMENT CHANGES
MCCLELLAN MADE GREAT GAINS
OVER THE LOW VOTE OF
TWO YEARS AGO.

New York, Nov. 4-After a cam
paign in which there were united
against him nearly all of the newspa-
pers and almost every preacher in
New York City, George B. Mcclellan,
son of the Civil war general, was
elected mayor of Greater New York
over Seth Low, Fusionist, the present
mayor, by a plurality of about 10000.
Edward M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Charles V. Fornes presi-
dent Of the board of aldermen. These
two men were originally on the Fusion
ticket and were endorsed by Tam
many, whereupon the Fusionists took
their names from the Low ballots and
nominated other candidates. It was

ported.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 4.-With the
close of an election characterized by
an unusually heavy vote, numerous
disorders and evidences of many gross
Irregularities, the reelection of Gov
ern0r BecHham, Democratic candidate,
over Colonel Morris B. Belknap, Re-
publican, by majority of fully $4,000
seems assured. Republicans concede
the election of Governor Beckman.
The day in Louisville was an eXcit-
ing one and the election was bitterly
fought. The Republican managers
claim that in thirty-two precincts in
Louisville the polling places in Re.
publican precincts we're either kept
closed all or part of the time or re-
moved to obscure places. They also
charge ballot box stufhng, the forcible
election of Republican election Off
GERS and the intimidation of negro
voters by policemen and fireme1 of
the Democratic city Administered ton.
These conditions led to many fights,
the most serious of which was be-
tween Tom Kiley, Democratic elec-
ton officer, and Jacob Kreiger, a Re.
publican officer. The men used pis-
tolls and Kiley was seriously wound
ed in the head.

FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Morrison County Farmers Organize a
Branch of Farmers Exchange.

MORRISON County Farmers Organize a
Branch of Farmers Exchange.
The Morrison county branch of the
Farmers Exchange, or the American
society of Equity, was organized at
Little Falls last Thursday. The at
tendance was not large, only about
forty being present, but those who
were in attendance were representa-
tive farmers and the various towns of
the county were nearly all represented.
Inc meeting was called to order by G.
H. jackson, of Buchanan, president of
the State branch. J. J. Jacobson, of
Elm Dale, was chosen chairman and
L. O'Neal, of Little Falls town, secre-
tary. 9. f. Ceilley, of Chicago, was
present and explained the object of
the organization. G.. E. Jackson
called the attention of the farmers to
the fact that the principal object of
the society was to bring about a con-
dltlon that would enable the farmer
to demand and receive better prices
Tor his produce. There will be no
"mlddlemen" under the new condi-
ton. His profits will go into the
pockets of the farmers.

A Timely Warming.

An expression in Dun's review of
trade, just issued, would be humorous
if it were not SO serious. 1t speaks of
"labor and finance as being the only
things clouding the Industrial hori-
zon. What other factors are there to
go wrong?
In view of the rashness of speculat-
ors and the equal rashness of labor at
this time, the warning of Thomas F..
Woodlock, editor of the Wall Street
Journal and financial writer of rec
ognized standing, given at the Chicago
industrial conference Thursday, is
worthy of being pondered.
lizard times will come this year or
next,' declared Mr.. Woodlorck. "We
are on the eve of a change in indus
trial conditions. These con-
ditions will grow worse. It is for the
best interests of capital and labor to
stop the fights which have disturbed
the industrial place. My only mes
sage to this conference is that the re-
lations between labor and capital this
coming year should be as little
strained as possible.
LET the labor leaders of the coun-
try from now on exercise the utmost
conservatism in the demands that they
make upon capital. Let capital also
be conservative. -
If the last clause of this message is
made to apply, not only disputes but
to stock manipulations, it will be the
more valuable.
One thing the stagnation, now ap-
parent, indicates: That neither Or
gained labor nor organized capital
can get more out of industry than is
produced, any more than "ten men
can lift themselves over a fence by
Juggling at their boot straps, because
each is combined with the other nine. -

that he would not support men who
were not Democrats. In spite if his
detection, however, Mcclellan, Grout
and Fornes carried Kings county.
A surprise was the low vote for
W. S. Devery, formerly chief of police.
Change Of Public Sentiment.
This result shows a tremendous
change Of public sentiment since May
or Lows election two years ago, when
he won by 1852. At that time he
carried all the boroughs but one.
Yesterday Mcclellan carried Man.
haitian and the Bronx by about $4,000,
a gain of $4,000; Brooklyn by about
5000, gain of 81 900, and Queens by
about 5000, a gain of more than 1000.
This makes a total net gain for Nc
Clellan of about 100000, as compared
with Shepard's vote of two years ago.
Low carried only one borough,
Richmond, by about 200 votes.
The result was known early and at
8:l5 o'clock Mayor Low sent a tele-
gram of congratulation to Colonel Me-
Clellan.
Colonel Mcclellan, who is at present
a member of congress, made a state
ment, in which he expressed gratitude
to his fellow citizens for their conf
dence in him, renewed his promises
made before election; said he would
attend the extra session of congress
and then turn his attention to the
affairs Of the city, and concluded by
saying his victory should encourage
and unite all Democrats for the next
presidential contest.
The victory means that Mr.. MUIR
phy, who made up the Democratic
ticket and managed the campaign,
will remain leader. Plans had been
made by certain Independent Demo
Gratis based on the belief that Low
would be reelected, to reorganize the
Democrats with Tammany left out,

given the city a businesslike conduct
OF affairs and because it had done
much to stamp out the 'red light"
evil OF the East Side It was argued
by Fusionist orators that the return
OF Tammany men to office would
mean a "wide-open town."
The Democrats claimed Low was
trying to control the city for Governor
Odell and that all Democrats should
support Mcclellan because of the
bearing the election had on the presi.
dental contest next year.
McClellan's plurality is now esti-
mated to be $1,000.
The Democrats elected four of the
five borough presidents. Cromwell,
Fusion, won out in Staten Island.

Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov. 4.-John L. Bates was
reelected governor of Massachusetts
by plurality of about $1,000 over
Colonel William A. CASTOR, the Demo-

and towns to hear from, Bates had a
lead of 32,315, but as the missing
towns are all strongly Republican,
there is every indication that the
plurality of the Republican candidate
would be practically the same as that
of last year, although the total vote
may run higher.

ity OF 7OO,OOO over Johnson.
Columbus, o., Nov. 4-Republicans
broke their record in Ohio Tuesday in
the plurality for governor by the elec-
ton of Myron T. Herrick over Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, Democrat, by con-
siderably more than 100000 plurality.
The plurality on joint ballot of more
than Is in the legislature for the re-
election of Senator Hanna more than
doubles any previous record.
The Democratic state committee
soon abandoned it's rooms and gave
out no statements. Chairman Salem
was in Cleveland with Mayor Johnson,
John Fl. Clark, the Democratic candi-
date for senator and other Democratic
candidates.
Chairman Dick of the Republican
committee said the result was due to
the remarkable personality of Hanna,
popularity of Herrick, endorsement of
Roosevelt and the state administra-
tion,' and that these conditions
brought about harmony among the
Republicans, while the Democrats
were divided into factions and espe
cially zone great faction that repu-
dated the single tax and other fads

Ohio has exceeded 100000 plurality
only twice. In 1868 John Brough, Re-
publican, was elected governor of
Ohio by 101, 09S, when his Democratic
opponent, Clement L. Vallandigham,
was an exile in Canada and the SOL
diers were voting outside the state.
The only other time when the p1u-
rality exceeded 100000 in Ohio was
in 1894, for secretary Of state, when
there was panic and the Democrats
did not vote.
1t is said that the Republicans have
carried three-fourths of the eighty
eight counties. Shortly before mid
night Chairman Dick announced that
the Herrick plurality for governor
would exceed $4,000 and that there
would be over 100 of the 143 votes in

makes all lowlands so much more de-
sirable for tillage than upland. The
floods of this soil in the Mississippi
valley is carried down to the Gulf of
Mexico, and as the river widens,
the current shows up and the soil
is deposited in a great delta at the
rivers mouth. If you will examine
the map of the United States you
will observe that a large part of
Louisiana sticks out into the Gulf.

Raise More Cattle and More Hay.

As evidence that our people should
give more attention to stock raising
the price of beef cattle is higher
than ever before. Cattle on foot are
selling at 4 cents gross. A beef
weighing 800 lbs. on foot will bring
$32 almost anywhere. A Salisbury
meat dealer went to Charlotte a few
days ago and offered 4 cents a pound
for 40 cattle on foot and failed to
get any. Little calves are being
butchered in great numbers. Mich
COWS are being sold to the butchers
for beef, cattle being so scarce.
There will be a great demand for the
next few years at least and the price
will be high. Attention should be
given to this important matter.
Farmers should pay more attention
to the raising of grasses, clover and
other feed stuff. All the grass not
used for pasturage should ge care
fully saved and stored for winter use.
Hay and straw brought 100 per cent.
more in price in Asheboro this
spring than ever before, due in a
large measure to the failure of far
e last summer and fall to save
feed as they should. Thousands of
ere of stubble with grass and rag
weed could have been saved and fed
to cattle or sold at good prices

Experimenting With Tobacco in
Arson.
Arson.

For two or three years a few farm
ers of Morven Township have been
experimenting in tobacco culture in
a small way. Last year Messrs. Hugh
Johnson, John r. Dunn, j. D. Nc
Laurin, and perhaps others, made fine
crops, on limited areas, which they
marketed at Darlington, S. @. Mr..
McLaurin, we are informed, realized
$3.50 on his crop, which was grown
on three and a half acres of DOOR
sand hill land. Of course all this
was not profit, but he had more than
half of the money left after paying
all expenses incurred in making the
crop.
We do not know the amount clear
ed by Messrs. Johnson and Dunn on
their crops, but they must have been
well satisfied with the experiment, as
both of them have increased the acre
age devoted to tobacco on their
farms.
Indeed, so well pleased was Mr..
Johnson with the return from his
crop that he, together with a number
of other farmers Of the McFar1an
and Cairo neighborhoods, employed
MI. Frank Sineth, of Darlington
County, S. O., an expert in the cult
walton and curing of the plant, to
come to this county and oversee their
crops. Mr.. Sineth is looking after
eighty acres, and it is estimated that
altogether there are one hundred and
fifty acres planted in the weed In
Morven Township.
Mr.. j. @. Streeter, Of the Cairo
neighborhood, was in town Monday
and informed US that the condition
of his crop, and the crops of his
neighbors, was perfect. The leaves,
he said, of his crop would average
ten to twelve inches broad and eigh-
teen to twenty inches long. He was
highly elated at the prospect of q
paying crop, and gave it as his opin-
ion that in the course of a few years
a large proportion of the sandy land
of Morven Township would be plant
ed in tobacco.-Wadesboro Messen-
ger-Intelligencer.
