Corn and Cotton This Year.
Montgomery Advertiser.

Montgomery Advertiser.
Middling spot cotton is worth in
New Orleans nearly 10y cents, and
Southern holders will get for about
100000 bales the recent increase
i'll price. The rest of the big crop
was parted with at s or 9 cents. The
man who held cotton will get about
81 more per bale than his neighbOrs
did who sold earlier in the cotton
year.
The recent rise in price will operate
to increase the cotton acreage, and
outside of some weevil infested dis
tricts in Louisiana and Mississippi no
one anticipates any considerable re-
ductiOn in that acreage. The world
wants $4,000, 900 bales of American
cotton, and that is about all the cot
ton belt is capable of in the average
season.
While it is we'll TO make ,.13 100000
bales of cotton, it is also even better
to pillow deeply and make more corn.
No one asks the South to grow corn
as a surplus crop. but there is every
reason why every farmer should
grow his own corn. This has been
explained so often it has become trite,
but its truth stands erect and eternal.
No Southern farmer can be prosper
Gus who refuses to make his own corn.

Deadbeats Ought to be Exposed.

Statewide Landmark.
When the Bad Debt Agency was
doing business i'll Statesvile and at
tracing general attention, the North
Carolina Christian Advocate com
mented on and criticised the methods
of the concern, and the Landmark
had little debate with the AdVOcate
anent the matter, this paper contend
ing that deadbeats, those who make
it n business to defraud Others by
wilfully and persistently refusing to
ply their debts, deserved exposure.
The AdrOcate thought this method
was too strenuous. Were mention
ing the subject now to call attention
to the fact that the Advocate an
nounces in its last issue tlat ''all our
cutoff subscription accO nts" have
been placed with a COLLECTS ~ agency;
which goes to show that some method
other than the ordidary method has
to be employed to collect honest
debts out of a great humble OF people,
and the Landmark still insists that
those who make it a business to de-
fraud by refusing to pay ought to
have their names handed around so
that all men may know them.

at is an ordinary thing to see
MANY negro women gathered III he
court houses during trials. In Which
they show great interest. and that
steps be taken to keep these out OF
the court rooms will not, OF course,
prove the great moral uplift, for that
il n thing to I've accomplished in the
home of the negro. There it is that
the principles OF right living and act
ing must be taught, and the more
thrifty the father and the mother,
the easier will it be to teach the NOR
ais that are needed.
That this is so neesis only cas-
ual examination in any community
where there are negroes. The 1ami-
lies of some substance, owning some
property. are showing and developing
a race pride that is not found with
the careless and shiftless negroes.
The negro man and negro woman
who works shows greater concern III
the rearing of their children than do
the hand-tO-mouth class whose own
morals are of lie lax kind. and who
rear children OF lax morals. The
action OF the negro ministers OF Char
lotte i. TO he commended IA asking
for n needed thing. Now let them
urge upon the men and women OF
their race that they labor to accumu-
late something for this will be found
the great step to the moral uplift OF
the race.
The Winston-SaIem Sentinel had
somewhat to say along this line.
With it the News suggests that not
only negro women be excluded bnt
that small boys he also forbidden to
feast upon those things which do NOT
tend to nplift ones morals.
