GROWING PEACHES FOR MAR

The day will never come when cot
ton will not be the staple crop of
Edgecombe county but the progress
sive farmers of that county have
taken many forward steps in recent
years in diversifying their crops. Mr..
f. L. Daughteridge has found grass
and stock to pay as we'll as cotton, to
require less labor. and to make farm
life more attractive to his sons.
Mr.. Dawson, Mr.. Thigpen and
others of Conetoe. have made good
money raising early vegetables for

Mr.. J. w. B. Battle will set out two
peach orchards at the Battle Bryan
place, putting out trees Of the most
approved Georgia variety. and will
grow peaches for market.
The Georgia farmers have made big
money growing peaches for the North
ern market. So has Mr.. Van Lindley
and others at Southern Pines in this
State. The coarse sandy lands OF
Edgecombe and other Eastern coun-
ties are we'll suited to growing fine
peaches, they have fine TRANSPORTATION
facilities. and there is fine prospect
for success in this field.

ducts a future source of resource to

WHY COTTON MILLS ARE NOT
PROSPEROUS.

The cotton mill industry is not in
prosperous condition. There was not
a day during the Democratic admins
tration from 1898 to 1897, bad as
those panic years were, when the cot
ton mill industry was not more pros
porous and profitable than now.
Some short-sighted mill owners
have attributed the dull conditions to
the high price of cotton that prevailed
last winter. There is no foundation
for that theory, though it may have
temporarily retarded profitable Oper-
atoms of cotton mills dependent upon
cheap cotton. The truth is that in the
long run it is to the interest of the
Southern farmer and manufactures
alike for cotton to bring high prices.
OF course it is demoraliZing to all con-
nected with the cotton business to
have wide and sudden variations in
prices for cotton one year to sell for
go to fifteen cents. Neither farmers
nor manufacturers know what to de-
pend on when the fluctuations are so
great, and both would like to see cot
ton hang around twelve cents all the
time.
Mr. Walter H. LangShaW, a promi-
nent cotton manufacturer of New Bed
| ford, Mass, understands the real
cause of the depression in the cotton
| industry He has written a communi-
cation to the Mercury of his town, III
which he says that the depression Is
caused not because of the price OF
cotton, as has been alleged, but by

domestic market. Here is his remedy

A CAUSE FOR CITY PRIDE.

Not many days ago the Richmond
News-Leader printed certain statistics
showing it's large increase in circula-
ton. 1t was a showing most crafty
ing to the management of the paper
and spoke we'll for Richmond's support
of its afternoon paper. The article
was in good taste but one subscriber
wrote Directing to using space IN the
paper to Boosting of it's growth and
said the space ought to be used for
other matter than self praise, or words
to that effect.
The editor replied by saying that it
was not often that the editorial col
umns discussed the circulation of the
News-Leader because it gave up much
of it's space to telling of the growth
and prosperity of other Richmond in
dustries, and added:
Certainly it is an important enter
prise in many respects and we like
Richmond people TO know what it is
doing and 10 1eel that their own
newspapers compare favorably With
those of other cities. There is
no reason in morals or ethics why a
newspaper should not give scnIe time
and space, now and then, 20 informing
advertisers of the advantages it can
offer them"
There is even a stronger ground
why a newspaper should let the public
know what it is doing: a newspaper is
in many respects public agency and
the people have an interest in know
ing how well it is serving the public.
he q
but unless it has wide circulation it's
articles are like a candle that is hid
under a bushel. If it is widely cir
culated, its columns are of value, not
alone to advertisers, but to every in
terest of its city and every cause it
espOuseS and to every claim presented
in it's columns. 1t is quite as interest
ing to the people in any town or city
to know the growth of the circulation
of their chief newspapers as to be
told that a factory has doubIed its
plant, a hotel has enlarged its ca
pacity, the street car system will be
extended, new and better train sched-
ules have been arranged and new in
dustries have been established. There is
no boosting" on the part Of a news
paper to print it's own expansion and
growth. Instead of being criticized,
the people of the community will re-
joice to know exactly what progress
it's newspapers are making and bona
fide circulation is the best test of the
papers capacity to serve it's con-
stituents.
Is it not a matter in which every
progressive citizen in Raleigh takes
a pride, for example, to know that in
nine years the daily circulation of
The News and Observer has grown
from less than 2.400 to more than
5000? Is that not one evidence of
Raleigh's growth and the interest the
people in the State feel in the State s
oldest newspaper published at the
aoita!?

A MORNING TONIC.
( prSOn.)

To believe your own thought, to be-
lieve that what is true for you in your
nrivate heart, is true for all men
that is genius. Speak your latent
conviction and it shall be the uni
versar sense; for always the inmost
becomes the outmost-and our first
thought is rendered back to US by
the trumDets of the Last Judgment
Familiar as the voice of the mind is
to each, the highest merit we ascribe
to Moses, Plato and Milton, is that
they set at naught books and tradi-
tions, and spoke not what men. but
what they, thought. A man should
learn to detect and watch that CLEAN
of light which flashes across his mind
from within, more than the lustre OF
the armament Of bards and Sages.

HOW TO MAKE RALEIGH GROW.

The growth of Raleigh as a resi-
dence city and an educational centre
has been steady and gratifying. In
many other respects it has progressed
until it is easily the most beautiful city
in the State and possesses many adj
vantages.
Some people of Raleigh, conscious
that they live in a solid town and hap
Ply in their pleasant homes, are inclin.
ed to be satisfied with their growth
and not press forward to larger growth
and more rapid expansion. If this
good city has any defect, it is that it
is too well content to let we'll enough
alone.
The people of Raleigh ought to go
to work determined to double the pop
ulation within the next ten years. 1t
is altogether possible to do this if it
can be made a manufacturing city and
furnish employment to many who
would rather live in Raleigh than in
any other town or city in the State
How can this be done? There are
many ways. In a thoughtful speech
before the Chamber of Commerce la
night, Mr.. James H. Pou pointed out
several ways in which Raleigh's
growth can be accelerated They are
commended to the consideration of
every public spirited citizen of Ral-
eigh.

lieve us of the accumulation of goods,
which is Just as detrimental to the
manufacturing interest and to its en-
ployeS as if the goods were imprted.'
Mr.. Langshaw proves that the home
market is not large enough for the
product of American cotton mills.
Cotton mill owners in North Carolina
understand this situation. One of the
largest manufactures of cotton goods,
who was in Raleigh last week, said
that, whereas formerly his mill re-
ceived orders for large quantities OF
goods at a time. now the orders came
in for very small lots. '"The mills,
he said ARE running from hand to
mouth and the jobbers are buying
the same way" The result tells
heavily upon the cotton mill industry
What does all this prove? Here,
with a protective tariff as high as New
England manufacturers desired, the
cotton mill industry is in more de-
pressed state than during the panic
ten years ago. If protection helped,
this would be the most prosperous
era for cotton mills. In truth, pro-
lection INJURIES instead of helping cot
ton mills. They have long ago out
grown the home market and need
larger markets. The wall of high pro-
lection keeps them out of foreign
markets or prescribes such conditions
as to make it Improbable.
Moral: Tear down the protective
tariff walls and give the cotton indus
try 4 chance for healthy expansion.
