WALTER E. DANIEL.

1t affords us very great pleasure
to announce that Hon. W. E. Daniel
will be candidate for Lieutenant
Governor of North Carolina, subject
to the action of the Democratic
party of the State.
No man in North Carolina is bet
ter equipped for the Office. For
twelve years he was Solicitor for the
Second District and was easily one
OF the most powerful prosecuting
attorneys the district has ever had.
He represented Halifax county in
the State Senate in 1907, was chair
man Of the judiciary Committee of
that body, and was always on the
right side of every question for the
best interests Of his constit uency.
Learned in the law and we'll vers-
cd in parliamentary rules and usage s
of legislative bodies, he would pre-
side over and direct the business of
the State Senate with ease and dig
nifty, rejecting credit upon his ma
tive county and the State at large.

HOME INDEPENDENCE.
The Farmers are Urged to Raise Their
Own Supplies.

Editor The Commonwealth:-Just
now the cotton farmers OF the South
are greatly depressed by reason OF
the exceeding low price Of cotton.
Every one who knows anything
about the cost of producing cotton
certainly must have observed that it
is now selling below the cost OF pro-
duction. This state of affairs is
claiming the thought and attention
of many of the ablest men OF the
country of all vocations. To be
sure, the farmers feel the stress and
pressure of the situation more keen
ly than any others. While it IS
barely possible entirely to relieve
the embarrassment of the present
crisis so that no farmers will suffer
loss by reason of the low price OF
cotton, it is entirely practicable to
hedge against the recurrence Of such
a crisis again.
While | have nothing now to offer
| am led, by reason of the present
situation, to emphasize suggestions
that have been made to the farmers
many times before, suggestions
which | regard as wise but which
many farmers have failed to follow.
A thousand times and more has it
been suggested to the farmers OF
the South that their only sure pros
perity lies in their independence,
and that such independence can be
realized only by the raising of home
supplies. On the principle that
water dropping day by day wears
the hardest rock away" write to
add whatever emphasis ! may to
what has already been spoken and
written in urging the farmers to
follow the wise policy Of producing
their own supplies.
If | may be pardoned for express
ing my own preference | would say
to all farmers chat | would rather
tread independently in brogans over
my own ordinary land than to tip
dependently in patent feathers over
the good soil of others. A slice of
the ordinary ham from the meat box
in ones own pantry should be much
sweeter and far more toothsome at
any farmers table than the choicest
breakfast strips supplied through a
grocer. Round, puffy butterlnilk
biscuits made from the product of
ones own barn and dairy are far
sweeter and better than those made
from "shipped" flour pulled with
sodaraties and buttered with Fox
River" though the choicest furnish
ed by the best grocer.
One important item in the furnish
ing of a farmers pantry is wheat
-four, and wheat may be produced
in almost any part of North Caro-
lima. 1t has often been said that
the farmers in this immediate COM
munity cannot successfully raise
wheat, but | am sure that is a mis-
take. Perhaps we may not be able
to grow as abundant crops here as
are grown On the clay soil Of Pied
mont Carolina, but with as much
care for the wheat crop as is gener-
ally given to the cotton crop it may
be grown here without loss, to say
the least. The possibility and prac-
cicability of successfully raising
wheat in this community has been
clearly demonstrated during the
past few years.
The season for planting wheat is
near at hand and | trust that more
farmers will plant wheat, produce
the grain from which to get their
own flour, and SO take long stride
towards the home independence
which is so much needed.
