To the Farmers of North Carolina.

Our farmers have read the resolu-
tons adopted by the Cotton Assocla-
ton of New Orleans and also by our
State tc reduce their acreage of cot
ton this season. l believe the farmers
will do it. The most important thing
for our cotton and tobacco growers to
do is to grow their supplies at home.
It is quite evident that this is bef1lS
done by our farmers to a greater eI-
tent in North Carolina each year.
Our tobacco farmers reduced their
acreage last year and tobacco sold
much higher in the fall of 1904 than III
1903.
Diversified farming will pay our far
mers and every other interest
If the June report of the govern
ment shows that there has been no
reduction in acreage, every effort will
be used to put down the price OF cot
ton by the spectators.
Yours very truy,
JOHN S. CUNNINGHAM,
President.

Protection Cor Sale.

There are plenty of cases where the
owners of Illicit distilleries have stated
to friends or counsel that they had
procured protection by the payment
of money to United States officers
Some of them pay as much as $50
per month; others smaller sums and
still others pay different amounts to
secure immunity from arrest while
hauling whislley over the roads. AT
q recent term of the Federal court
in the West, one Gs~ehe men who was
under Indictment for some offense of
trivial nature. an eX-revenue officer
volunteered ito give information and
furnish witnesses to the fact that
certain particular deputies had been
paid 10 keep out of the way while
certain shipments OF "moon-shine"
whiskey were being delivered. The
district attorney, however, although
informed of the facts and the parties
by whom it was proposed to get the
necessary evidence to convict, entire
~ neglected to take any steps towards
Furnishing the guilty parties.
The revenue officers in Wilkes
county are said to receive as salary
from the government 1925 per month
and their expenses, and it is generally
supposed that their receipts in the
way of blackniail from distillers are
far in excess of that amount. The
boGness with which they act and
the arrogance which they display in
dictate that they have reasonable
grounds to feel safe from prosecution
