Time For q Change.

When the farmer goes to pur-
chase anything he has the price
fixed for him. When he goes to
sell anything the price is also
fixed for him, regardless of what
his produce costs him. He buys
and:sells at prices fzed by some.
body else. Time to make a change

This, unfortunately, is largely
true, and will always be true until
Z the farmers can conduct their
business upon cash basis. Were
farmers able to assert their indie.
pendence they could withhold theiz
produce from the market until q
margin of profit could be realized.
Another remedy could be found in
cartailing the supply of certain
commodities. To illustrate: If
q greater quantity OF potatoes are
grown in a given locality than is
needed in that locality q tanner is
forced to sell bis potatoes at what
heals offered for them, ,even though
hesbe independent On the other
hand, if the same farmer has a
good home-raised horsefof sale be
can fix the price and can easily
find a buyer unless the price is
exorbitsnt.
Indopendence-which comes
through the practice Of thrift and
economy-and the curtailment of
production Of the staple crops, will
enable ths farmers to make prices
to the other fellow.

BISHOP WILSON'S INDICTMENT.

Wilson made powerful indictment
of the methods of the business and

"Today Christianity, saintliness, is
excluded from legislative halls, and
sanity men are Disseminated against,
i'm business. When men of industry
and commerce choose their agents,
they do not select men of strong char
acter as Christians, but they rather
seek out men who disregard or eVade
the law, make compromises, who con-
duct their business policies upon
pure secular lines with the sole view
of increasing their wealth. Partisan
ship ranks higher than righteousness.
and the elements of truth are shut
out from the affairs of business
men,
Recent exposures in the giant life
insurance companies, the over-capi-
talizatfon of trust and railroad COM
panies, over the municipal corruption
brought to light in Philadelphia and
other great cities, the corrupt leakage
i'm the Agricultural Department, the
theft of the public lands, the convic-
ton of UnitedN States Senators for
fraud and wrong, the purchase of
elections, the buying of franchises and
legislation-these are some of the re-
cent developments that warrant the
saddening indictment preferred by the
man of God.

RESULT OF THE WATTS LAW.

All who supported the Watts law
and all who doubted its wisdom Will
be interested in the figures in our
Washington correspondence which
show that there were 724 saloons in
the State in June last compared to
1.1S5 two years ago when the Watts
law went in operation There are few
er now than in June. The wholesale
dealers have decreased from 50 to 80.
Two years ago there were more grain
distilleries in operation in North caro-
lima than in any State in the Union.
The number was 425. Today there are
only 81 in actual operation. Fruit dis
tilleries have been reduced from 442 to
29S in operation. When the Ward law
goes into effect on the first of january
the number will be still further re-
duced.
Attention is called to these figures
as proof of the great progress that
the cause OF temperance Is making.
The Improvement is even better than
these figures show. There is cause in
this for all advocates of temperance

to a arrangement of the female organ
