Editor Manning Develops.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Isaac A. Manning, editor of the Daily
Oregon Statesman, in discussing the
causes for the slow developments Of
the Willamette Valley, blamed the do
nation land law which gave such large
tracts Of land to man and wife, in this
valley, for the slow development Of
Oregon, "tying up her great tracts Of
land in the hands Of n few who CON
tinue in their possession largely to
this day, making no good use thereof
nor showing a willingness TO allow
others TO get the lands for any pur-
pose Of development" In referring to
our timber land laws and especially TO
the action Of the government in max
ing forest reserves throughout tho
state, Mr. Manning declared the tim
Der land obsoletet and unjust TO Orc
gon.
In n discussion Of tho proposed rail-
way legislation, the speaker referred
to the necessity for legislation con
trolling great aggregations Of capital,
which he declared had proper place
in the development Of this country.
A policy Of rate making 80 that the
rates will move the freight should be
the proper one for railway companies,
said he, but few lines in the past APP
preciated this. He also opposed any
further experimentation in railroad
legislation, and also tho adoption of
amti.railroad legislation.
Mr.. Manning also discussed tho quos-
tion Of assessment and railroad valua-
tion, again referring to the Wisconsin
assessment law. He recommends a full

| interests of his class.
The question has been raised Is to
how the tenant is to pay his rent if he
reduces his acreage. This answer is
clear, and that is that the landlord
must reduce the amount of money or
cotton which he makes his tenant pay
in the same proportion that the ten
ant reduces the crop, and take the
balance of the rent in corn. peas or
other produce. Example: IL tenant
has been paying four bags of cotton.
and plants one-fourth of his cotton
land in something else, then let the
landlord charge him three bags OF
cotton and take one-fourth of what
ever crop is planted on the other land.
This viii lmean money to the landlord,
and if the landlord is so unWiSe or 50
unfair as to be unwilling to do this,
then he is acting in bad faith with
his tenant, and will not deserve pity
when his cotton sells for flee cents.
A word about selling cotton: At
the recent convention i'm Raleigh, the
writer was a member of the commit
tee on resolutions; and the conven-
ton passed a resolution urging the
farmers not to sell their cotton until
after the June government report
upon acreage came out; and, if forced
to raise money on cotton, to try to
borrow it from friends without stor~
ing it; and, failing in that, to store it
with some warehouse and borrow
whatever money the holder is com
PEELED to have. This can be done
and the writer will be glad TO assist
any farmer who desires to raise mon
ey on their cotton to do SO, and THAI
without charging them any fee what
ever for his services.
If the farmers lose this light that
is now on, when all classes and con-
ditions of people in the South are
backing them in it, it will be another
generation before they viii be able
to make another fight. 1t is largely
a question of good faith and loyalty
to one another, and / trust thar the
results will show that Wall Street is
not justified in betting its money
upon the proposition that the farmers
of the cotton belt are without wisdom
and without honor.

The Flood Plays Many Franks.

Rev. William Alexander Smith,
prominent as the author of many
works on Oriental Travel, has writ
ten an entertaining account of his ex-
perience in Kansas during the floods
in 1908. He says:
I'VE lived a full mile from the near
est point of the Saline river but when
the river overfowed it sent a flood
clear into our dooryard and we had

neighbors suffering sad experiences
both from loss of life and property.
"Wez-wife and myself-had an ex-
perience quite unique and thereby
hangs a tale. My wife for years past
and myself as well, had been an
noyed, panied and worried SO greatly
at times by dyspeptic trouble as to
take much of the joy of living out of
life.
L had seen Postum so literally spo-
ken of and we suffered so much from
coffee that one day, some months ago,
| decided to try some Postum for our
selves. We liked its aroma and taste
so we were satisfied from the start
and we quit coffee.
Gradually my digestive organs have
grown healthier and stronger, my sick
headache left and we both could eat
almost what we pleased without dis
comfort.
But was this result of the discon-
tinuance of tea and coffee?
The food came and found us out
of Postum and shut off from all sup
plies in the village for 8 days. But we
got hold of some left over tea and a
little coffee and this we used as long
as it lasted. This was the only respect
in which our meals were different from
what we had been using, but change
came over US. My wife thought | had

my turn, thought-well, never mind,

organs night and day that would have

we made ready to visit the grocery

in few words. when Postum came

WORK TO BEGIN.
Survey of Raleigh and Durham Pas
senger Company Begins at Once.

Last night, at the office of Messrs.
| Pou & Fuller, there was a meeting
| of the directors of the new Raleigh
and Durham Passenger and Power
| Company which proposes to run a
| line of inter-urban electric cars be
| tween Raleigh and Durham and sys-
| tenn of street cars in the city of Raj
eigh, to prepare for the beginning of
work on the line. Since organization
of the company and the granting OF
franchises to it by the two towns and
counties concerned, progress has been
necessarily delayed until the ordinance
was procured in satisfactory shape
and the charter procured in a form
satisfactory to the directors.
At last nights meeting the ordinance
as amended and passed on March Jrd
was accepted, and the charter having
been procured the directors proceeded
| to discuss the beginning of work on
| the road. To this end, engineers Will
| be at once employed to survey the sew
eral routes which have been suggest
! ed for the road to follow, one of these
| to be through Cary and the other by
| LeeSville. 1t will of course take a
survey and a careful canvass of the
whole situation considered from both
a physical and financial point of view
| for this question to be finally deterri-
| ined.
There We're present at the meeting
Messrs. w. j. helms. of Newport News;
T. B. Fuller and Jones Fuller, OF Dur
ham, and b. S. Jerman and T. S. Full
| Ter, of Raleigh.
Speaking of the plans of the new
company Mr.. helms stated last night
| that while work would be carried for
ward as rapidly as possible. it must
| not be thought that the road between
the two cities would be in operation
| at any very early date. The proposi-
| ton was a big one and a great deal

plete the road. Mr.. helms stated that
| if everything went right and without
| hitch of any sort. it might be COM
pIeted within one year. Two wears.
however would probably come nearer
to being a true prediction, said he.
While the completed road from Raj
eigh to Durham is not matter of
the immediate or even near future the
directors state that portions of the line
will be in operation before the whole

They would none of them say. how
ever, what part of the line they e>.e

end it was proposed to build, or

teachers of Guilford county and the
citizens of Greensboro have pledged
ono thousand dollars in membership
tickets Greensboro is one of our
most progressive cities and VIII do

real help and inspiration TO our teach
ers The citizens of Greensboro have
solved this problem by guaranteeing
the one thousand dollars referred to
above: and hence the teachers will DE

Ten Cent Cotton or Five Cent Cotton:
Which Shall il Be?

CT. w. Beckett in Louisburg Times.)
The answer to the above question
will be determined absolutely by
whether or not the farmers in the
cotton belt reduce their acreage in
accordance with the resolutions of the
Southern Cotton Association, to-Mlt:
make a reduction of not less than 20
per cent Of the acreage planted and
of the commercial fertilizers used. rue
farmers nave resolved to make this
reduction; will they do it? Wall Street
says not, and is betting its money on
the bad faith of the farmer. Wall
Street is betting its money that the
farmers of the cotton belt >are either
| fools or liars. That is to say, il is
| betting that the farmers of the cotton
belt either do not have sense enough
to make the resolution to reduce the
| acreage; or having the sense and hav-
| ing made the resolution, each and
every of them will play the traitor

If the government report in June
shows that the acreage has been re-
duced in accordance with the resoIu-
