OXFORD.
Newport

To the Editor: In a recent letter to
your esteemed paper showing the inn
provements of Oxford during 1908, mad
vertently omitted some of the most i'm
portant new enterprises. One of these is
the new railrad built that connects with
the Seaboard from Dickinson to Oxford,
which now operates two passenger trains
per day each way, connecting with the
Durham and Northern at Dickinson.
This road was completed some months
ago and is proving a great factor in Ok
fords development, not only for the con-
venience of the passenger service, but in
lower freight rates, which generally al
ways follow when a competing line is
built, and in better service generally.
The Seaboard represented by the genial
and clever Messrs. Billiard and Taylor,
is fast growing in popularity here. And
Just here l would mention the fact that
our people are much indebted to Judge
A. w. Graham for this road, for it was
mainly through his untiring efforts that
the road was built For years he had
labored for this road and often amidst
pluck and energy which characterize his
illc llC puOuSu tuC CHbCl pIlSt IiIl tll6 uCetl
was contaminated
The Oxford Dispensary has also been
established during the year just passed,
and our people are greatly pleased with
its operation. Under the skillful man
agement of Messrs H. M. Shaw, J. d.
Bullock, S. w. Parker and r. B. Brough-
ton, it is fast growing in public favor.
Since it's establishment drinking and
has greatly decreased. The
has also decreased the amount
sold, though it has done a good business
and the profits from it have greatly i'm
proved the condition of the streets and
besides other improvements
have been made. Our people pronounce
it in every way a success and the best
possible solution of the whiskey question.
We also omitted to mention in our pre-
vious article several important private
buildings which have gone up during the
year 1908. Among these is the large,
handsome new residence of Judge A. w.
Graham, which is considered one of the
most beautiful homes in the State. Gen.
eral B. S. Register has also completed a
new residence which is a
building of rare beauty.

MOUNT AIRY.

Mount Airy has made wonderful prog
ress during the past year in all her in
dustrial lines, the numerous factories do
ing more business than any previous year
all the plants making more money than
any year since they were established.
The city has progressed in different
lines The most important enterprise in
augurated and established since the be-
ginning of the year, in the way of pub
lie improvements, is the waterworks and
electric lights. These modern improve
ments, which are nearing completion, add
much to the convenience and comfort OF
those towns in our State where they have
been tested.
The burning of the graded school build
ing last fall, was a serious drawback to
our educational institution. The loss OF
the building necessarily compelled the
IL different parts of town. But, with the
enterprise and pluck characteristic of
Mount Airy, better buildings will soon
take the place of the old ones and our
GRADED schools will be reunited in tie
near future.
Mount Airy is known far and wide as
possessing the finest granite quarries in
America.
Every conceivable kind and style of
building stone is quarried and shipped by
the Mount Airy Granite Company to all
parts of the country. Numerous blocks

ably conducted than in our own Eastern
counties, and that no other crops are
so profitable as trucking intelligently
conducted. To aid the trucking industry
and to develop horticulture more fully
the Board of Agriculture has providedy
for the employment of competent hor-
ticulturist, who, it is hoped, will be Sc
cured at an early day.
Cotton, of course, continues to be the
great sale crop, and surely the situation
Is very interesting. The cotton farmer
smiles when the subject is mentioned, pro-
vided he did not sell too soon. Some
features relating to the present situation
are well worth considering, for they der
onstrate clearly the effect on prices Of
the well known uaw Of supply and de-
mard. The great crop of 1898, (the larg-
est ever grown was nearly 20 per cent
greater in number of bales than the sue
ceeding crop of 1899; but it was about
% per cent less in value. The crop for
all the years since 1899 has been less i'll
bales than 1898, but have exceeded 1t in
value by so per cent or more. 1t has
been a great year for the cotton farmer,
for prices, even when lowest, have been
better than the highest in some preceding
years. Inc crop Is, dCCOrQlnS 10 pres
emit estimates, the shortest since 1885,
with the exception of 1899, but will prove
to have the greatest value of any ever
marketed. All hail, to King Cotton.
From the general prosperity in which
the people rejoice the tobacco farmers
alone are excluded. Perhaps they had
their inning a year ago, and were in
duced, because of high prices then, to
plant too largely. But whether they
raised too much tobacco this year for the
needs OF the market, or whether they
are at the mercy of "soulless corpora
ton" that robs them of the Just rewards
OF their labor, certain it is they cannot
join in the chorus of prosperity. A cut
ting down of half their crop next year
would likely prove their best remedy.
Like cotton, a smaller crop would bring
actually more than too large one.
l rejoice in the improving condition Of
the farmers, in the efforts to farm more
and more inteligently and skillfully, OF
which there are many Indications, in the
increased interest in education, especially
in the interest shown in the study OF
agriculture in our A. and M. College and
In the public schools, l beg to extend
to all through the News and Observer a
hearty ney years greeting.
