TO HONOR TRUE MEN.

North Carolina can never give too
much hoOnr to the Of Mr..
John H.. Mills, the father of the or
phanages of the State. With an APP
preparation Of only $500 a year from
the Masonic Grand Lodge. Mr.. Mills
opened the Oxford Orphan Asylum
in the day of the States poverty. His
capital was Faith and .t is the only
bank that never runs dry. Last night
at Oxford, pon the recommendation
of superintendent Brown, the direc-
tors decided upon the erection of a
handsome John II. Mills granite arch
at the entrance at the orphanage
grounds.
The Masonic Grand Lodge next
month will no doubt approve and
many North Carolinians will wish to
contribute to This fund.
Another noble man in the orphan
age work was Col. ". J. Hicks. and
it is proposed to erect the William j.
Hicks Hall at the oxford institution,
and this will also be approved.
Memorials in honor of these two
noble men will show that North Caro-
linians put a proper estimate upon the
roblest work in which any man can
engage.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

- IN
New York. Dec. 15.-Cotton has yacil-
lated q good deal, now advancing and nov
declining. Latterly it has shown more
strength partly owing to the rising De
cember premium over January. 1t has re-
covered In a measure from the Government
crop estimate on Monday last Of 14.SS5.O GJ

are estimated by some as fully J0.0Du
bales more, SO that the estimate looks like
$4,000 bales. The continent has con
tinued to buy freely in Liverpool and -
include October, 1912, something which
appears to many suggestive. 1t is asked
whether the burden of future crops may
not be at least partially relieved in some
such way. 1t is known that European
spinnerS thankful for present prices have
in some cases bought American cotton Tor

four or five years ahead, on the idea that
cotton is cheap and that it would be well

sound to those who recall that in recent
years July has been 100 points over Octo-
Der. Even radical bears have deemed il
prudent to cover and look on for a while.
The Waldorf Astoria bear clique has re-
ceived q sharp reminder that the price can
advance as we'll as decline. They have
covered freely. The spinners takinCs are

are large and supplies have not been In

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEANo

A railroad has recently been built
from Southport to onnec with the
Atlantic Coast Lin and Seaboard
which will give direct deep water and
freight; the Norfolk Southern
has spent millions of dollars to con-
meet Piedmont North Carolina with
Eastern North Carolina, and when
the Inland Waterway Canal is finished
these extensions will be of great
value to the whole State in the way
OF freight rates and freight facilities;
ana now enterprising capitalists have
obtained a charter to build a road
from GOldsboro to SWanSboro, thus
putting Goldsboro within seventy miles
Of the cean.
Do we not owe all this construction
and building of railroads TO the ocean
to the belief that the completion Of
the Panama Canal is to revolutioniZe
shipping and business in this part Of
the world?

GIVE IT TO THE COWS.

Most Of the men who are trying to
get some special privilege or keep
something good for themselves declare
that they are either working for the
poor farmers or trying to protect the
investments Of the Widows and or
phans. But they can't fool h farm
ers in these days Of diffusion Of
knowledge. The Practical Farmer
has this fine reply to posing frlenos
of the farmers:
I'VE notice that some of the brew
ery-men are worrying about the poor
farmer. They manifest great tear that
the temperance crusade will destroy
the market for barley. Don't worry
about the barley, the poorer the mar
ket for barley the better the mar
ket for milk, and the cow extracts
seven times as much nutriment out OF
q bushel Of barley as the brewer man.
Better give it to the cows"

TT WILL NOT DO.

At the annual session OF the North
Carolina Farmers Union at Wilson,
President Barrett, of the National
Union, and President Barrett, Of the
State Union, took ground that the plan
Of holding cotton proposed by the New
York f%inanciers would not work. Pres
ident Barrett stated in substance that
the plan submitted by the flnanciers
was not in line with the proposition
he laid before them and he thought
thew wanted too much and their re-
strictions were harder than h farm
ers would be willing to submit lie
urged the farmers to reduce their
acreage, raise their own supplies and
thus TO get in position to hold their
cotton on the farms.
