INTENSIVE FARMING.

There is 10 question about the wis
dom of intensive farming. even with
good labor conditions and with labor
80 unreliable and uncertain as 1t is
now, there Is no other successful plan
open to the farmers of this region.
Making land rich makes it's cultiva-
ton easier, less expensive and doubles
the yield for the same amount of labor.
We have heard of q book, by some
author, who's title was, "Ten Acres
Enough" and there is more wisdom
and logic in 1t than many will admit
or realize.
OF course It would not be practical
to reduce every farmer to ten acres, or
even ten acres to the horse, but che
title OF such book is suggestive.
Smaller areas and better cultivation
with larger yields will be the plan OF
all wise farmers in the near future
and we were about to say that 1t Is the
plan of wise farmers now.

TROUBLE WITH JAPAN.

Norfolk Landmark.
President Roosevelt and bis Cabinet
have perplexing problem confronting
them in the protest Of the japanese
government against the exclusion Of
Japanese children from the white D ub-
lie schools In San Francisco.
There should be no disposition on the
part of the press or people of the coun-
try to complicate matters by hasty
utterances of anger or hostility. Nat
urally, Japan is jealous OF what she
conceives to be (and what may really
beg her treaty rights, particularly
when they touch the racial pride Of
her people. At the same time, public
sentiment on the Pacific Cost Is differ
ent from what 1t Is in sections where
the Asiatic population Is less. The
situation is very troublesome involving
racial prejudice, treaty rights, and the
line separating States and Federal
authority.

ALL AGREE ABOUT FREIGHTS

Whenever one mentions to busi-
ness man of Scotland Neck the subject
of freight rates there is general agree
ment that we ought to have reduc-
ton that has so often been mentioned
in this paper. All agree that lower
freights would probably bring more
people here to do business and so the
volume of business would be increased
and the town improved.
Students OF Roman history will re-
member that Cato, member of the
Roman senate who feared Carthage
and the power of the Carthagenians very
much, always concluded every speech
in the senate by q declaration that
Carthage must be destroyed "Delenda
est Carthogo." Whether he spoke on
the tariff, free trade, the rate bill,
government ownership OF railroads,
the annexation of Cuba, the selt.con.
troll OF the Philippines or the problems
OF how to feed and clothe the people
when we shall have two hundred mil
Hons-whateve he spoke about, he
always concluded his speech by the
solemn declaration that Carthage must
be destroy est CARTHAGE !''
So, seeing the great need OF some
change in freight rates for Scotland
Neck and the slim chance for much
increase in the volume of business as
the rates are now, We feel like ending
every discussion In these columns with
the declaration that freights must be
reduced!
Whether it is regarded as important
or not, the people of the town just as
we'll admit 1t once for all that with no
change in our freight rates we shall
continue to labor to great DISADVANTAGE
and shall be discounted by those town.
that have freight competition.
The solution of the whole matter
lies in touch with deep water. When
we can get that our freights will be re.
duced, and until we can do that they
will be no less,
Can't the business men In Scotland
Neck see it? Seeing it, will they put
their energies together to secure the
advantage which a railroad to deem
water will give them?

TO THE TEACHERS OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

A movement. has been started for
the erection OF an hsrolc bronze statue
to the memory OF DIR. Charles D. Nc
liver. our friend and co-laborer, who
has been SO suddenly called to his re-
ward at the meridian OF his life OF USE
fitness and service. He gave his life
to the cause tor which we teachers are
giving ours. He literally spent him.
self for us and our cause. No man OF
this generation OF North Csrollnians
has done 90 much to aneliorate condi-
tions surrounding the teacher, to dig
nify and elevate the teachers work
to bring the public to an appreciation
OF It's value and importance, and to In
crease the teachers salary. He was
perhaps the ablest, most successful
champion of our cause, and certainly
none has been more unselfish. Time
and time again be sacrificed his own
financial interest to remain In our pro-
fession and advocate our cause. He
was faithful unto death. We honor
ourselves In honoring those who serve
us. We inspire posterlty to emulate
their example and to magnify our call
ing by expressing in lasting and Wis
lble form our gratitude and our love to
those, 1t would seem to me, there
tore, upseemly, ungrateful and un-
wise If the teachers OF North Carolina
should not have large part In the
contribution OF the funds for the erec-
tion of lasting memorial to this great
teacher and citizen. II the souls OF
the departed are cognizaut OF happen
ings on earth and responsive to the
same divine emotions that the divine
feel here, I know that thu soul OF
Charles D. McIver would be more
% owed by the contributions OF this
fund from the meagre earnings OF bis
co-laborers than from those received
from any other source.
Believing that the teachers of North
Carolina appreciate the work OF shll
great teacher and hold him in grateful
remem brance, l appeal to them
to bear their part in the raising
of this fund, In full confidence that
every teacher will deem 1t privilege
and pleasure to contribute as liber
ally as salary and financial conditions
will justify. There are 1905 white
teachers in North Carolina. Let nc
teacher, therefore, fall to contribute
because unable to make large contri
button, for even a small contribution
from every one OF 80 large number
Will amount to much in the aggregate
Please respond promptly, for every ef
fort will be made to raise the funds fol
