Henry c.. Dockery, United States Mar
shall, who was chairman of the North
Carolina delegation at the New Or
1eans Cotton Growers convention. was
asked about the hOlding-out by the
North Carolina growers for r~easona-
BILE prices and said: THE farmers here
are determined to hold for 10 cents. lii
four months the mill men will be clam
Cring for cotton unless prices rise. Their
supply is now beginning to I'll short

you could buy 100 bales of cotton in

Revenue agents have been quite ac-
tive lately and the deputy collectors are
searching for Illicit distilleries. Last
night they got one near BentOnSVllle,
Johnston county. the operators having
fled a few minutes before the officers
came up They also captured one near
Durham, the men operating 1t escaping
at the last moment. The officers say
the still found near B~entonsV1lle was
the strangest one they ever saw. 1t
was made entirely of large tin pans,
soltered together. Even the a was
made of these pans. The workmanship
was quite ingenious.
Cotton mill men,, who have been here
in such numbers this week to be present
at the hearing on the child labor ques-
ton express much pleasure at the de-
ciSion to let the law stand as at pres
ent. which the committees of the House
and Senate arrived att They knew
the senate committee was unanimous
ly opposed to the bill raising the age
limit to IA years, but they did not
know how the House committee stood
until it acted yesterday. They say that
there was a tacit understanding two
years ago that the labor law, then en-
acted should stand for ten or twelve
years.
Among today's arrivals were Baylus
Cade, Murphy; John P. Kerr, and B. r.
Fakes, Asheville; III. t. Greenleaf, Eliz-

rbe recent riotus outbreak of negro

The recent riotus outbreak of negro
clans following game of crap held
outside Mt. Friendship camp meeting
woods, has caused the Milford
Chronicle to expound the following
Editorial utterances regardiug the law
lessness upon the part OF the rOwdy
negroes of Delaware:
sTThe negro race on this peninsula
has its worst enemy in its own ranks.
The rowdy negro is doing, and has
done more to throw back the negro
race from political standpoint, than
the leaders of that race are doing to
elevate; and, 1t will not be surprising
that their acts shall be taken as an OBJ
iect lesson and a text for radical
measures to eliminate the negro from
politics. Right here in Delaware, the
greatest source for lawless acts and
infringemeEts upon the public peace,
are to be found in the woods meetings,
or so-called camp meetings; which are
resorted to raise funds to pay the
salaries of the preachers sent to them.
At meeting of this kind last Sunday
night one young negro was killed and
many more injured; and, this occurred
Mt Clayton, where recent lawlessness
Smyrna times., 1905-08-16

resulted in the shooting of officers of
the law by negro ruffians.
1.-THE white people of Delaware are
rapidly becoming tired of this annoy
ance and blight upon the fair name of
the State, and unless radical measures
are adopted by the negroes themselves
to put stop to this racial brawling,
they will be compelled to act in the
matter for self-protection and selfre-
pect.
"Don't for one moment think that
wehave overlooked the fact that there
are white skinned men and women who
are creating trouble in Delaware, and
on this peninsula; we know there are
many "white negroes" but they are
not so bold in breaking law as the
black rascals, and generally speaking
justice is meted out to them. The
trouble is not that the sentence of the
law is secured, but that adequate pun
ishment is not meted out for the
crimes"
Smyrna times., 1905-08-16

Twenty, even ten, years ago the
mind of the public was largely centred
on the wheat situation, because that
element figured so extensively in our
foreign trade. We looked primarily
to wheat, -four and some other grains
to settle certain balances abroad, and
the variations in demand and supply
were great. Cotton was a less vary
ing factor. We control practically the
worlds supply, but in cereals, and to
large extent in cattle, sheep and hogs
and their products, we have been the
great vendors of the world. 1t is not
long since seventy-five per cent. of our
exports were agricultural products of
one sort or another. Now they are
only little more than fifty per cent,
while our manufactures last year were
over thirty-six per cent. of the total.
We had rather poor crop of wheat
last year, and so sent abroad much less
than usual, though our total exports
were greater than the year before. In
twelve months we have received over
one million. food consumers from
abroad, while we have produced do
mestically more than that number.
While infants under year old con-
sumo little but milk, it must be re-
membered that an equal number
(nearly) of those born year before last
has passed from the infantile to the
eating stage. Our old friend Malthus
many years ago pointed out the fact
that agricultural products increased
emily in an arlthmetical progr ession,
whilehumsn beings increased in the
EometrIcal ratio. As a pessimist he
Z inquired out that the time would come
when the earth could not feed the ma,
tions. He seems not to have taken in
to consideration devastation by wars
aud disease, but, on the other hand,
he lived before the days when sanitary
science and bacteriology we're de,
veloped. 1t is true that the number oi
living beings is increasing faster now
than at any previous time, and, o
course, they must eat. But it is also
true that agriculture has greatly i'm
proved since the days of Malthus, SC
that given acre will support life fol
longer time than formerly.
However, the concrete fact is that W,
are confronted with great shortage o
wheat in Russia and other parts of Eu
<ope, while South America has at leas
no more than an average crop, which
has already been marketed. We ar
informed from the various centres ths
We must feed the nations next year
Fortunately, we are on the verge Q
almost a bumper crop. We do nc
exactly what it will total, bu
winter wheat is harvested and is IN
usually large, while spring is largel
in the shock and on the way to th
tllresher. We will have big surplu
this year. This means lots of none
for the farmers, and though it entail
some expense on Americans, the spu
to national prosperity will more tina
compensate. Uncle Sam is parti
ularly cheerful just now.-Philadel
phia Inquirer.
