WAITING ON FALL CROPS.

J. J. Hill, the big railroad builder,
says "as soon as the tariff is out OF
the way this country will enjoy a pros
perity that will at least equal, if it
does not surpass, that it knew under
the Mckinley administration" Let US
hope he is right, but the tariff bill will
be like the Dingley bill in that II pros
perity comes it will demonstrate that
not even a bill of denominations can
check it: Business progress now
waits upon crops. Everything de-
ponds upon them and O upon the
tweedledeev and tweedledum differ
ences between Payne and Aldrich. The
only hope Of wealth comes from the
ground. Mr.. Hill recognizes this, for
thus gives the cause of his optim-
ism:
Last month I travelled extensively
through the West, and l never saw
such activity among the farmers.
Everywhere l made inquiry n learn
ed and saw hat the crops were
abundant, and that the farmers were
satisfied. Signs of the financial de-
preston of 1907 are fast fading

DON'T WEAR

The latest agitation is to free the
body from underwear. 1t is claimed
that wearing %flannels in winter and
underwear in summer produces con
sumption, increases the danger Of sun
stroke, and is declared. to initiate
against health. One OF the Wealthiest
fire insurance men in Boston, who has
not worn an inner suit for four years,
either winter or summer, says hat he
pair of drawers for a hundred dollars
a day. Thus does the advance of
Jerry Simpson and the Western dis
regard of underwear meet approval
in cultured Boston. This man is
"wealthy' and stopped wearing I'M
derWear from hygienic reasons and
not because the tariff revisers are re-
solved to make it so high many of
US will be forced from economical
reasons to stop wearing underwear.
We can hide our hatred Of the Payne
Aldrich high prices by declaring we
have been converted to the new health
movement!
A physician who has quit wearing
underwear and has induced hundreds
of men to adopt this dress reform and
in every instance with advantage to
their conduct and health" in a letter
to the New York Sun gives the reason
why he she'd his underwear and the
result as follows:
THE present writer shed his I'M
derWear ~thirty-three years ago, in
February, 1876. and has never since
worn a fibre of undercIOthing winter
or summer His mother, younger
brother and sister all died of CON

mentioned it looked to him as though

WHAT CAUSES HARD TIMES?

During the recent panic there were
many reasons advanced for the cause
of hard times. 1t is never true that
any one thing operates to make either
good times or bad, but superficial peo-
pie who have theories, like to attri-
butte the cause to something that will
support their theories. When pros
perity anne in the Mckinley and
first part of Raosevelt's administra-
tons, the protectionists claimed the
credit for the Dingley bill. When. IN
der the Dingley bill. there followed
the worst panic for a century, their
former claims was shown to have
been absurd. If the Dingley bill
brought prosperity in 1898 it also
brought a panic in 1907 SO that has
to be eliminated
One Of the causes of the panic was
that the nigh tariff walls denied US
markets for our surplus products and
too large a portion Of the income of
the people was taken for public tax
es. A correspondent of the Tarboro
Southerner calls attention to a state
ment by the English Minister Of FL
nance during the wal against Napo-
leon which bore out the theory that
high taxes made hard times and is
the motto Aldrich adopts in favoring
indirect taxes He said:
NV Lords and Gentlemen, to levy
q direct tax of 7 per cent. is a dan
gerous thing in a free country, but
there is a method by which you can
tax the last bite from the mouth, with
out causing a murmur against hlSh
taxas and that is to tax a great many
articles of daily use and necessity, so
Indirectly that the people will pay for
them and not know it. Then the
grumbIing will be Of hard times, u
they will not know that the nara
times was caused by taxation"

THE NORTH CAROLINA SPIRIT.

There are some things that money
cannot buy. You cannot buy good
n%eighbors or genuine hospitality. They
are the gift Of God. The man who
i've in a good neighborhood in North
Carolina-and hat includes nearly
everybedy-can truly say that 1.-The
lines ave fallen in pleasant places"
This ::as been shown TO be specially
rue if a man lives in Chatham coun-
ty. In the last issue of the Siler City
Grit there is published the following
communication:
A Card Of Thanks.
To the Editor: 1 want to thank my
friends and naighbors for the kindness
shown me during my suffering from a
spider bite, and / also want to thank
my doctor for his faithful work.
/ lacked seven acres of wheat being
cut and on Monday my neighbors
came in a crowd n cut my wheat
and on Saturday they came in and
hauled it all in and housed it nicely,
and then on Thursday they came in
with sixteen plows and plowed out
everything that needed blowing. A
mar that does n 10 feel good over such
work as that has not a very large
heart. That the blessings Of God may

that they may never lose anything by
their kindness is the hanks and
wishes of
E. C. BREWER.
Fall Creek.
This card is printed not because
these neighborly acts are rare, but to
the North Carolina spirit
a spirit that makes life here sweeter
and happier than in richer commune
ties where such acts of kindness are
unknown. In more thickly settled
communities there are plenty of gen
erOuS men who, if a neighbor is unable
to cultivate his crop, will send him
is we'll, but it lacks the human touch
of real neighborliness. In that sort
of help, those who laca money can
do nothing. In the Moth Carolina
the poorest can help as well as
richest.
Let US not, with all our new i'm
proVements neglect to keep up these
little cOurtesies and practical sympa-
Thy. They help more than ten times the
money sent over With a note. A kindly
word and a human touch of sympathy
went a long ways to cheer this Chat
ham farmer whose neighborS saved
his crop, and they found hat the

years in nearly every county sign
boards were put up at crossroads so
the traveller could find his wav and

Mr.. I. j. Virgins Makes Nice Year
Farmers will Plant More Wheat
Next Year.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Wilson, n. c., July 16.-Many will
be the farmers in Wilson county, who
will plant wheat next year, instead of
putting in their whole crops with cot
ton md tobacco: in fact many have
put ii big patches of this important
crop this year, the yields from which
has beeh very encouraging. Mr.. It.
J. Virgins. of the Elm City section,
has just threshed out one hundred
and fifty bushels from a five acre field.

MIR. GOMPERS ABROAD.

Mr.. Samuel GOmperS, the President
holds the commanding position in the
labor world. He began life in New
York as a cigar maker and vas a
master at the trade. He soon became
interested in the problem Of lettering
the condition Of me-. in his own craft
and in the whole labor world. and
won place as leader in city, state and
v%ictiOn, earnest and always
lives up to his faith. He is a student
Of men n affairs. dominated by the
idea that t injury of one is the
concern of ALL" He intensely be-
lieves in the Labor Union as the best
method Of doing the business of the
world, and in his fights as head of the
Federation of Labor has been uncom-
promising and vigorous. He has won
many fights. been the victim of per-
secution, threatened with a term in
jail for standing for free speech and
the free press. and has stood his
ground. Whether you agree with
him or not, you must admire his sin
cerity: his zeal. his courage.
a short time Mr.. Gompers de-
cided to visit Europe and make a
study of. labor conditions there. He
will do it thoroughly and from the
standpoint of the Trades Union cad
er. This paper has obtained the ex-
elusive right to print the letters Of
Mr.. Gompers in its territory, and
prints the first of the dozen letters
today. Mr.. GOmpers writes of his
trip over as it relates to those en-
discusses the practise Of tipping"
showing that it is profitable to the
ship companies They expect the
steward to get most of his compensa-
ton from tips" and therefore hat
officer is paid by his employers a mis-
erably poor salary. The evils of he
system are clearly pointed out by Mr..
Gompers who takes the true view Of
it as 1t relates to the men who take
the tips as we'll as to the travelling
pubic. There can be no proper dig
nifty of labor where men are on the
ookou to be tipped It is essen
TALLY wrong, degrades the man who
takes the tip and causes the man who |
gives 1t on steamships to feel that the
has robbed him to pay the
wages OF men the EMPLOYS.
THESE letters will appear once a
week for twelve weeks and sho11ld be
read by all, for Mr.. Gompers has a
p and pleasant style, says what
he thinks, and sees things from the
standpoint of a man who wishes to
lift up b and leave the world ba
ter than he found if.
