Farm Products in Commerce.

Farming has long been estimated one
of the most important industries of the
country, but the value of its products
as a factor in foreign commerce has
never been more impressively put than
by Secretary Wilson in his annual re
port just made public. 1t is function
of the department of agriculture of
which he is the head, to not only i'm
prove the methods of production and to
make the industry more profitable, but
to find better way and field for the
marketing of the crops. Hei shows
from the official statistics that the bal
ance of trade in favor of farm products
during the past fourteen years has been
81 ,8o6, 900 900. In products other than
those of the farm. in the same period,
the balance of trade was against this
country to the extent of $S65, ooo, 900.
This latter obligation was not only wip
ed out by the American farmers, but
they placed 5000 coo 900 to the cred
it of the country when the books OF in
ternational exchanges were balanced.
The comment that the secretary makes
upon this showing is: at is the farm
ers who have paid the foreign bond
holders"
With all the attention that has been
given to manufacturing in the way OF
government encouraged uent-the pater-
nalsm that has been bestowed upon
the "infant industries'fo generation,
at the expense OF the people, and never
so liberal as today, this showing isl
rather startling to one who has not
kept himself posted in statistical mat
tiers. 1t is showing that may well per-
nit the farmer to hold his head a little
higher. and encourage him to demand
that other lines Of industry may not be
forever aided at his expense.

More pains is probably taken to train

CIRCUIT COURT.
Terms Changed to Fourth Mondays Of
April and October.

The law passed by the last Legislature
changed the time for holding Circuit
Court in this county from the fourth
Mondays Of February and August to the
fourth Mondays Of April and October. AS
our court has been adjourned but four
weeks, it is likely that Judge Miller may
pretermit the April term, making the
next circuit court in this county the 4th
Monday of October instead OF the fourth
Monday of August as it would have been
under the old law.

Sullivan noticed the camera which
the photographer of the party car
ried, and asked what it was for. lie
was told that they hoped to get a
photograph of him and Fitz as they
met, but that as be was abed, of
course, such a thing was impossible.
impossible? No, l guess not, my
boy. If there's any people like to
oblige, it's the newspaper fellows
great boys they are. They will do
more good for man than all the
preachers in creation. You'll always
find me ready to oblige reporters any
time it's within my power. What
do you say, Bob?"
Bob acquiesced, aud then the
great John l.. lifted himself to a sit
ting position aud put his legs outside
the bed.
That was the most patheti iucl-
dent of the visit. With fatherly
care Bob Fitzsimmons placed bis
great right arm behind SuIlivan's
broad back aud held him comfortably
while the latter arranged himself.
When everything was apparently
ready Fitz glanced down and noticed
that a part of Sullivan's legs were
uncovered, and the picture-taking
operation had to be postponed until
the sympathetic Fitz had wrapped
him carefully in the clothes. 1t
was touching.

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime of life. and
his death illustrates forcihly the importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men In the busir ess of farming. have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details. and have ready money to cover delays
involved, es well as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed To tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had a large balance in bank. He
kept his money at work. As a consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensned had lie
not forseen such diffculities and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out policy OF life insurance In
the Phoenix Mutual or Hartford. The money
received from The Phenix in payment of this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount 20 his family in the
protection which it Afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will send pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

PROBABLE OUTCOME OF THE
WAR,
(FTedsrieksbgrg FREQ Lance)


The trend of affairs In the far
East seems to justify the impression
that the war will last long time.
The first impression, produced in
some quarters by the activity of the
Japanese, aud their signal victories,
was that Russia would be forced to
abandon Manchuria and sue for peace
before she could bring to bear her
immense army and tremendous re-
sources, but the difficulties which
beset the japanese in their occupa-
tion of Korea, and the delays result
ing therefrom, have given the Rus
slams time to concentrate an immense
army in Manchuria. The Japanese
are beginning & to realize the enormity
of the task they have undertaken,
and confronted by an army of
superior numbers, have apparently
changed their tactics, abandoned the
dash WHICH characterized their early
movements and are proceeding can
tiously. The result of a prolonged
contest can scarely be in doubt. If
Japan ever bad any chance of success
it was by sharp and quick attacks
and occupation of territory before
Russia was prepared. The chance
for campaign of that kind is gone,
and now in time unlimited resources
and overwhelming numbers must
prevail, In the absence of some un-
forseen event. Japan can never hope
to drive Russia out of Manchuria,
which was her object when she
declared war. On the other hand,
Russia is going to find it a difficulty
task to dislodge the Japanese in
Korea. Acting on the offensive in
Korea, where the enemy has fortified
his position, no doubt Russia will |
find it vastly different proposition |
from repelling an advance into Man
churia, which she occupies. Indeed |
we doubt not that the end of the war
will lind the Japanese still in posses |
sion of Korea; that they will fail in |
their efforts to expel Russia from
Manchuria, but will prevent Russia
from gaining foothold in Korea. |
The talk of invasion of the Japanese
Empire Ia absurd and ridiculous. |
In order to accomplish this Russia
would have to drive the enemy from
the continent, distroy his fleets, and |
effect landing on the island, task |
which is too stupendcus for even
Russian resurces Co contemplate.
1t is doubtful, therefore, if either |

BRAVE DIVER DIES.

William Hosr, . diver, who was
imprisoned in seventy feet of water
on the Jersey City reservoir for "a
hours. was then given up for dead by
other divers who had come to aid in
rescuing him. For whole day they
knew he was alive by his signals on
the line, and air was continuously
pumped to him. About an hour
before the rescuing party desisted, it
was thought that he had given o
signal, but physician said that the
last tug at the rope undoubtedly was
the result of the line catching ON
some obstruction. It's possible that
Hoar's wonderful constitution en-
ahlea him to hold out until noon, as
it seemed that he signalled feebly up
to that time. In the rescue work
the last diver to be brought to the
surface was unconscious when hauled
up. When he had been revived, he
said he thought Hoar had been dead
for some time. The fret of the res.
cuing divers to succumb is in 8 seri-
GUS condition. His hands are swoI-
len to twice their normal size, and
when he succumbed, blood was ooz-
ing from under the finger nails.
Hoar was sent to Jersey City OH
Monday from New York to close an
intake pipe in the lake. To close the
pipe q ball of wood and lead niue
feet In diameter had been lowered in
front of the opening. Hoar went
down to place the ball in proper posi-
tion and his left leg became caught
by the suction between the pipe and
the ball. ALI efforts to release him
failed. Gould he have held out a
while longer amputation of the foot
might have been tried.

WELL SAID.

The CITIZEN has a few subscribers
that the following from the Fairfa8
Herald fits exactly:
awe do not believe in running the
business in slip-shod way, nor can
We afford to do 30. 1t is no benefit
to the Herald for anyone to "take
the paper" unless he PAYS for it.
We have an unusually prompt paying
list of subscribers, but there are a
few good people who seem to think
that, the amount being small, we
can afford to wait one, two, OF even
three years for the subscription price.
Well, we can afford to do no such
thing, and if you don't want your
paper stopped, you should settle up
without delay. The very fact that
the amount in each individual case
is small (therefore easy to pay) af-
fords poor excuse for delinquency.
while the aggregate of these small
amounts is what we have to rely upon
