BURN UT THE COTTON"

| A special from Montgomery, Ala,
conveys the information that a dozen
prominent merchants and farmers OF
Scottsboro believe the solution of the
depression in cotton prices is to burn
up one million bales of cotton and
then to hold the remainder of the
crop for ten cents a pound. In the
old times of poor transportation the
farmers of Kansas used corn for lire
wood because they could not sell corn
for as much as wood cost them.
The burning plan is one that ought
not and will not be seriously con-
sidered, but the fact that it is even
suggested shows the feeling of the de-
preston which the great decrease in
cotton has caused throughout the
whole South The course for the
South to pursue is. not to burn cotton,
for that is to destroy values and to
injure themselves and the country, but
TO reduce the acreage. 1t has been
abundantly proved that the farmers
get more gross money for a small crop
than for a large crop. 1t is that fact
that suggests the burning of the crop.
To show that the South gets more
money for a small crop of cotton than
for a large crop the following table is
given, showing the number of bales
produced every year for twenty years
and the amount paid each year for
the cotton crop:

THE eight colleges are full to over

enlarged and made one of the hand

DRUMS in the State. The main build
ing of the Methodist Orphanage has
been completed. and an increased

for Arrangements have been complet-
ed by which work will be begun on
the Masonic Temple in a very short
time. This will add another to the list
of handsome new buildings in the
city. The Baptist University has dur
ing the year spent a large amount of
money in erecting another large dorm
tory and music building to accommo-
date additional students. The College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts is
now erecting another large building,
and cannot yet accommodate all the
applicants for admission.
"A charter has been granted by the
state for an electric railroad between
Durham and Raleigh, which will con-
meet the two prosperous cities more

advantage to both places.
During the year the chamber has
aided in having issued illustrated
Raleigh Il book of 90 pages. of which
several pages are devoted to a care
fully prepared description of the city.
The book contains number of fine
pictures of subjects of interest. over
five thousand copies of this book are
in the hands of merchants of the city,
and the secretary Of this chamber.
Copies can be obtained on application.
A large number have been sent TO
other States.
THE city is yet without q public
auditorium, and as there is not one in
the State, some arrangements should
be made by which the capital city
should be able TO accommodate the
conventions of the State. This cham
Der has accomplished much in the
past, but there is much to be done in
the future. The prerenr membership
of 100 should be largely increased"

IMPROVEMENTS AT OXFORD.
All the Principal Streets Macadamized
Electric Lights and Water
Works in the Near Future.
Especial to News and Observer


Oxford, n. c., Dec. 14-Your CORE
spondent is pleased to note the signs
of progress in our town. A great
deal of work has been done on the
streets during the summer and fall.
The rock crusher has been busy and
all the principal thoroughfareS have
been splendidly macadamized. The
sidewalks too, have within the last
year had much work done upon them.
There is now almost q certainty that
in the not distant future we shall have
electric lights and Waterworks, the
water to be obtained from deep wells.
Water in large quantity, 275 gallons TO
the minute was found at the Orphan
asylum at a depth of 265 feet. When
these improvements shall have been
completed, Oxford will be an ideal
residential town. Ii is one of the health
lest, l had almost said the healthiest
towns in the State. During the pres
ent year in population of about 5000
there has been but one case of typhoid
fever. Rarely do we have more than
two or three in one year. The health
officer of the county told your corre-
SpOndent today that there is not Il
case of diptheria in the county. This
disease whenever it appears at all in
the county, which is rarely the case,
is of mild type.
The Oxford Seminary and the Hor-
ner Military School will suspend ex-
ercises the latter part of next week
for the holidays. one notes a briSker
walk and more animated tone on
the part OF the students on the APP
prOach of this joyous occasion.

The South Should Appeal, But Should
Not Secede, or Try to Nullify.

sa.s:
1.-The Fayetteville Observer seems
to us to be too severe on MIR. Williams.
The South will not submit. without
appeal, TO any scheme to reduce its
representation. Why not say SOP"
We understand the News and OBJ
server to mean that the South should
submit 10 the law if Platt's bill be-
come a law, but that it should APP
peal TO the supreme court TO pass
upon the constitutionality of the law.
That is Il very different proposition
from the one put forward by MI.
Williams lin his speech at Spartan
burg, South Carolina, We believed, MI.
Williams proposition was that the
South refuse TO submit TO the law
pending an appeal TO the Supreme
Court.
The words "submission" and zap
peal were familiar sounds in 1861
1861. But then they We're alternative
propositions, and appeal meant an
appeal to arms. AS M. Williams
does not propose that the South
should secede from the Union If

Of his proposition would be to recog-
nize the authority of one department
of the government-to-Wlt the Su-
preme court-by appealing to 1t,

thority of another department or the

The better view Of the whole mat
ter is that attributed TO our North

dent:
Senator Simmons today expressed
the opinion that the Democrats were
! making mistake in becoming
wrought up over the prospect OF los
ing any representation in Congress
as he is inclined to believe there is
little ground for apprehension, or any
kindred emotion The North caro-
lima Senator, after making a survey
of the situation, is persuaded that 1t
is all false alarm and that the he
publican Senators and representatives
generally speaking, have no real de-
sire to take the Crumpacker move
seriously. The Democrats may drive
the Republicans to make some DEM
onstrations, Senator Simmons thlnkS
by becoming excited and causing a
prolonged agitation, but if they would
only remain calm the Republican
leaders would smother all the Plat
and Crumcacker bills IN committee
