SAFETY IN MOTORS NOISE.
If Perfectly Silent Automobiles Would
Give People No Warning.

The opinion is commonly expressed
that a decided Improvement in motor
vehicles would be gained if the noise of
pressed altogether. The enormous
number of small explosions which
take place in the engine of the motor
car or bicycle create a noise which is
undoubtedly at all times offensive to
the ear, but which is far worse when
the Chauffeur or rider is not a master
of his engine, for then the explosions
are often irregular. Rhythm makes
even the noise of a motor less dis
agreeable to the ear than an ilItimed
succession of reports.
1t is debatable. however, whether
after all, it would be desirable to re-
duce the present loudly palpitatins
machine to an absolutely noiseless
vehicle. The noise of the engine in
the present motor gives ample warn
ing oil its approach on the road, a
warning which, considering the COM
paratively high speed oftentimes at
tanned by the car, might be sounded
by the horn too late. 1t is common on
the highways to find coachmeR who
are driving FESTIVE horses on the alert
long before the car comes up to them,
warned by the distant sound of the
regular beating of the engines.
A motor car proceeding, say, at
twenty miles an hour in perfect 81

source of terror and disaster. Even
in the case of the ordinary bicycle
there is danger in its silence of action
and when the noiseless tires first
came upon the scene continuously
iingling bell accompanied them. In
the same way other rubber-tired We
hicles carry similar signal, although
the clatter of Horses hoofs upon the
road conveys some sort of warning
II is doubtful whether bell eontinu-
ously ringing on a motor car or bicy-
Gle can ever be as effective or timely
a warning as the penetrating beat of
the motor engine.
The shrieking whistle of an express
train is often too late to enable dan
ger to be avoided and it is appalling
to think what would happen if an ex-
press were designed which could trav-
e! at the rate of sixty miles an hour
without the slightest warning noise
being given by its wheels rotating or
by its intermittent escape of steam.
The same holds good for motor vehl-
cles, and though as it is they add to
the dangers of locomotion on roads
these dangers would be considerably
accumulated if it were not for the per
petual and penetrating beat of the en-
CINE.

fish that swim plentifully in all these
streams. In the Rio de la Plata. Just
off Buenos Ayres, is an island where at
one time q number of jaguars lived
and thrived practically on the fish they
caught, for there was nothing else on
the island, and none ever heard of
their visiting the mainland, because of
its settlement and not on account of
the distance to shore, for the tiger is a

is to lead them ?'-carrying with it
the idea that in his opinion there was
no one suitable or prepared to do the
work. This opinion he has expressed
in reply to later communication by
Mr.. Adams, urging upon the peoplea
the need of "unity of action" espe-
cially in the marketing of their crops.
saying that he knows Of no man in
North Carolina who has the needed
qualifications to perform that task.
The Doctor says there are only two
things necessary to the organization
of the farmers-they are the right
man and money-and states "that the
latter is ready" Then, according to
DR.. Freeman, if a leader may be
found, the farmers will be free.
Now, I want to ask DR.. Freeman
just these few questions through your
paper:
1. Does he believe it necessary for
the farmers to organize?
2. Is he in real sympathy with the
movement?
3. Has the time fully ripened, Or
the opportunity fully matured, for
the farmer to unite?
If the answer to the last question
be in the affirmative, then I believe
the leader is ready. If the people are
ready to organize they have only to
search among their ranks for cap
tain to guide them. We need not
expect any one, be he ever so well
qualified to offer his services and lead
unless we ask him to do so.
Mr.. Adams has repeatedly insisted
upon the tobacco growers of North
Carolina calling mass meetings, and
notify him of time and place, he Of
fering his presence to assist us in our
corporations. Yet no one so far as
I have seen has responded with such
a call. But instead, DIR. Freeman re-
plies saying we have not "the right
man."
Does not DR.. Freeman know that
such expressions as he gives rent to
Auch expression as he gives vent to
President Adams or anyone else who
man offer assistance? What has be-

tial. Aell-to-do farmer? Are they

THE PROSPERITY OF SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE.

The Progressive Farmer last week
called attention to the fact that Of
all the States in the American Union
only one during the census decade
1S90-1900 made as great a gain In
rank in population, agriculture and
manufactures as did North Caro-
lima.
But it is not in North Carolina
alone that this prosperity obtains.
Southern agriculture generally, &C
cording to the Census of 1900, is
more prosperous and yielding larger
net returns than that of other Sec
tions of the United States-and all
this on the basis of figures made
before the recent phenomenal ad-
vance in price of cotton.
Taking the gross value of farm
products and deducting therefrom
the gross value of products fed to
stock and the amounts paid for la
Dor and fertilizer, it will be seen that
in net value of farm products, South
ern farming in the census year 1899
paid a divident of $50 per cent while
the rest Of the country paid an aver
age of only 14.2 per cent. That is to
say, upon its fixed investment of $3,-
951, ,631, ,632, the South received in net
value of products $685., ,9O5, ,593-ex-
actly 25 per cent-while the rest of
the country on a fixed investment of
$16,4SS, ,269, ,532 received only So, ,342, :
4O1, ,024, or 14.2 per cent. Farming
in North Carolina paid dividend of
29.6 per cent, South Carolina 1873
per cent, Virginia 1911 per cent,
Georgia 34.6 per cent, and Tennes-
see "a per cent.
And it is to be noted furthermore
that in the twenty-year period, 1880
1900, "the value of lands with i'm
provements increased 81 per cent in
the South and 60 per cent in the
whole country; of implements, 120
per cent in the South and S4 per
cent in the whole country, and of
live stock 9s per cent in the South
and 95 per cent in the whole coun-
try"
'cBut what is raised in The Pro-
gresive Farmers territory-North
Carolina and adjoining States" a
Western or Northern reader may
ask, "Aren't the main crops cotton
and tobacco which require little i'm
proved machinery and other modern
agricultural improvements? 2"
Not at all. Of our chief sources
of agricultural wealth in 1899, ami
NAL products led with a value of
$111,OOO,O00; corn-and not cotton
