impossible. We rejoice in the success

the outlook for the future, so bright
and promising. In the future this

world must have our cotton to spin
and that when the mills failed to
get a supply of cotton the working
people would raise the cry of blood
or bread and the nations would be
forced to recognize the independence
OF the Confederacy. But it did not
prove according to the prophecy
THE cotton crop of North Carolina
amounts annually to s35,0O0,O0O to
$40, 100000, yet more than this
amount IS sent out Of the State for
| things which should be produced
here and can be, many of them, at
a greater profit than cotton"
He presented as the one great aim
Of the Department of Agriculture the
awakening Of the farmer to the duty
of the hour, teaching him that
farming is not finished science to
be learned from books, but is pro
gressive. One great lever in the up
lift Of the farm has been the recogni-
ton Of farmers wives and daughters

| He spoke at length on the agri-
| cultural advantages of North Caro-
| lima as due to climate and every
| variety Of soil. In the last twenty
| five years there has been more de-
velopment, he said, than in any 9TH
er 500 years. He made a strong ar
| gument against the tariff, showing
| how the farmers could not possibly
receive any benefit from It, but suf-
fered untold injury He discussed
also the long and short haul rates
and the outrageous discrimination,
making a strong plea for fairness
The discrimination might keep the
railroads from bankruptcy, but 1t is
nevertheless an injustice when North
| Carolina cities are charged higher
rates than Virginia cities.
Bad roads were shown to levy an
enormous tribute on the farmers.
