1T IS FAR-REACHING.

The reduction in the price of cotton
not only disastrousiy affects the grow
er of the staple, depresses business of
every kind in the South. and Injuries
those directly and indirectly dependent
upon cotton for their bread and but
ter. but it has a still more far-reaching
effect upon the whole country. Cot
ton is the principal article of export
of the United States and is depended
upon principally for the value of in
ternational exchange. When cotton is
low the value of that exchange is
greatly reduced to the injury of ma
tional financial transactions.
One year ago cotton sold at from
$40 to SIS bale whereas this year
it is bringing in the neighborhood OF
$40. At that rate the total value OF
will be worth $500,000,000 whereas
the 100000 bale crop of 1908 was
worth nearly $700,000.000. Com
menting upon the fact that the South
gets $200,000,000 gross less for 12.-
600, 900 bales of cotton than it got for

1T is paradoxical that as one result
of the increased industry of the South
ern planters they receive $200,000,000
less. If they had planted less. Guilt
waited less and allowed the boil Wee
vii to flourish they would have been
better off. The immediate effect will
be to discourage Southern enterprise
and to diminish the value in interna-
tional exchange of the United States

sumers of the world will be the bene-

The boil weevil. droughts and iazi-

High Point, n. c., Dec. 15.-Another
project is on foot for a street rail-
way for High Point. This time the
gentleman interested is Mr. Donald
Fitzgerald, of New York who is now
at the ElwoOd hotel, accompanied by
his attorney, Mr. Caudle, of Wades-
boro. The proposed name of the new
concern is the High Point Central
Piedmont and Wadesboro Electric
Railway. Mr.. Fitzgerald has been
over the line and expresses him
self as well pleased with the outlook
His examination was to ascertain how
much bonding per mile, etc, and de-
cided that it could be built at a figure
which would be paying investment
The road would be bonded for $780,
900. When asked as to when and how
the company would secure power, Mr.
Fitzgerald said that he would use
some water power possibly from the
Yadkin River Power Company.
Mr.. a. A. Wheeler, of this city, who
is interested in the High Point Inter
Urban line, received a telegram from
his company today saying that their
representatives would arrive here to-
morrow in the interest of this railway

at one time prospecting for electric
railways. However, Mr. Wheeler's
company was on the ground first and
have already secured a franchise with
q $500 forfeit if work doesn't COM
mence in a certain time. Mr.. Wheel
ers company appears to be in bust
ness. This makes the fourth or fifth

were on the track, going in opposite
directions, and seeing the train APP
preaching endeavored to get through
the cloud of steam issuing from q
steam pipe of the factory. They ran,
not seeing each other, and met in the
binding smoke, knocking each other
down. They were fully aware that
the train was close at hand and man
aged to get off the track, but not be-
fore the wheels managed to run over
