Not the Answer He Expected.

One of Lord Desborough's best anec-
dOtes relates to n clergyman who was
far more at home in the hunting field
than ia the pulpit, says London Tit
Bits. On the morning Of q meet he
was much annoyed at having to off,
ciate at a funeral; but, this over, he
mounted his horse and started in Pur-
suit of his friends. On the road he
sought information of an old woman
with donkey cart.
Well" she said, IF you ride to the
top of the hill you will come to a
'meenister.' Then if you turn to the
right you will be likely to come up
with them
Handing her shilling. he said, "My
good woman. why did you call the
sign post minister?
why, you see. sir, It's like this:
We used 10 call 'em sign posts, but
since you've been in these parts we
calls EN- meenisters. COS, though they
points other folks the way. they never
goes themselves. Go on. Neddyw

THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1911.

How often does one hear it SAID
these days that there is no money IN
farming, and yet how many farmers
do YOU know who have made good
money, some OF them an independ-
ent little fortune. on the farm? The
Charlotte Chronicle tells US what a
successful farmer up in that part OF
the State has done and is dong.
This farmer is Mr.. Frank Teeter, who
is Just now planning to found new
town between Rocky river and God
die creek, two well known streams in
the vicinity OF Charlotte. "First,
SAYS the Chronicle, che will establish
O bank for the benefit of the farming
community. Then he will build
power plant at Lipe's mill, on Rocky
river, q mile distant, and invite man.
ufacturing Industries. Mr.. Ieeter,
who is going to found this modern
industrial town, last year made 24O
bales of cotton. Twenty years ago
he moved from No. Q township in
Cabarrus to his present location,
rented a One-hOrse farm and began
life. He is now worth about 3d.
900. He made it out OF the ground
raising crops, and on the ground
raising cattle, sheep and hogs. 1t
is safe to venture that the man who
has had but little success at farming
would have met with limited success
at anything else, for the elements OF
success are generally more In the
man than in the business in which
he is engaged. However, it may be
assumed that the majority OF men
are better adapted to certain lines OF
business than they are to Others.
The real farmer can make just as
much OF a success at farming as the
real banker can in the banking bust
ness.

Farmers Can Stop 1t.
News and Obseryer.)


The further downward trend OF
cotton was stopped on Saturday
around nine cents. That price
means starvation, or rather means
a loss OF money to the farmers pro-
ducing the cotton. At one time it
looked as II cotton would even go
lower, and it would have gone lower
if the farmers had continued to rush
their cotton on the market. When
the figure reached nine cents they
stopped selling. Referring to this
matter, Henry Clews and Company
in their weekly letter say that the
stoppage OF the further downward
lurch In price vas due to three causes:
First, heavy demand from the
short interests, whose enormous pa
per profits were too tempting to be
longer Ignored; second, the small
and less urgent offerings of the
Southern planter, who, having f.
nanced their more pressing obliga-
tions through sales OF early pickiDgs,
are daily showing an increasing re-
Iuctance to press for sale at going
quotations the balance OF their crop;
third, rapid increasing demand OF
spinners.
The matter now is in the hands
largely OF the farmers. The need for
money seemed to compel many OF
them to rush much of their cotton
on the market at any price they
could get. The price will probably
go up if the farmers refuse to take
prevailing prices for any more Of
their crop. The Farmers Union and
all of the farmers conventions have
been urging the farmers to borrow
money to pay their pressing debts
and hold their crops, and now Henry
Clews and Company, who certainly
are not biased In favor OF the cotton
growers, indicate that the farmers
can get better prices if they refuse to
rush their cotton on the market at
the prevailing low price.

n vigorous campaign against va
grancy would likely prove very bene-
ticial to Henderson just at this time.
If all reports be true, there are at
present entirely too many able bod
led young negroes here who are liv-
Ing at ease and wearing good clothes
without any VISIBLE means of sup
port, and some of these are strongly
suspected of having had hand in
the numerous housebreakings and
burgldries that have taken place
here during the past few weeks. We
have it on the best OF authority that
not few of these worthless negroes
may be seen prowliug about the
streets OF the city at all times of the
night. This is matter that would
claim the prompt attention of al
most any wide-awake city govern
ment, and If the municipal govern
ment of Henderson is not as sound
asleep as it has recently been repre-
sented to be it will get busy and try
to look after some of these night
providers and find ont their business
or at least the necessity for their be-
Ing out so late at night. Every idle
negro in this town ought to be
brought into court and made to
show from what source he gains his
livelihood. As matters now stand,
the vagrancy law, like only too
many Others, is only dead letter on
the statute books.

Daiptyf SnaiIs

The writer who qualified the snail as
foul and unclean" was guilty Of a
libel. SnailS are most dainty feeders
and strict vegetarians. as many gar
deners know to their cost Apparently
three centuries ago snails were more
popular in England than they are now.
The fastidious author Of The Faerie
Queene' gives recipe for their prep
aratiOn:
With our sharp weapons we shall thee
fray
And take the castill that thou lyest in;
We shall thee fay out of thy foule skin,
And in a dish, with oHyons and pepper,
We shall thee dresse with strong yyne-
gars.

Has anybody yet seen a single
tobacco farmer who is really expect
ing the Tobacco Trust to be dissOlv-
ed and genuine, old-fashiOned COM
petition to be re-established on the
floors Of the tobacco warehouses?
We very much doubt that any in
telligent tobacco farmer could be
found anywhere who is expecting
anything of the sort. In fact the
tobacco farmers have paid very lit
tie attention to all this dissolution
talk, knowing from the start that it
is intended only for their cOnsump-
ton, and that in the end the whole
proceeding would prove to be a gi-
gantic farce. And you may know
how much respect the tobacco farm
er is coming to have for our highest
courts when he sees them lending
themselves to any such scheme. The
truth is that the Tobacco Trust has
no Idea OF dissOlving or being dis
solved, and those who think they
are going to succeed in fooling the
tobacco farmers in this way are 60
ing to find in the wind up that they
have fooled only themselves. 1t is
therefore no wonder that tobacco
farmers all over the country are
quietly but surely going about or
ganizing a trust of their ownin order
to be able to take care of their own
interests. 1t seems to be the opinion
OF thinking farmers everywhere that
this is their only available remedy,
and when the farmers trust is once
thoroughly organized somebody is
going to feel it.

TUCSON REACHES
 FOR FORT HUACHUCA
Propose 10 Connect Itself With the Post By a Boule-
 yard

The civic spirit that brought the El Paso and Southwestern extension 10 Tucson is now at work 70 make Fort Huachuca suburb Of that city. It is planned. it is reported, to have the post connected up with that city by a boulevard When 1t is consid cred that the government intends 10 enlarge the army post ant keep a garrison Of i.001 men there at all times, the business importance oi this move is realized. Since the post is isolated, 1t is practically the same as adding a population Of 1.000 to the city at one fell swoop.
 The word fell is apt. for it is cruel for Bisbee. Fort Huachuca is a grea, deal nearer to Bisbee than 1t Is to Tucson. but for some reason, the business men of the city have not appreciated the commercial import ance or that proximity. While Doug las has been setting rhe woods on fire to obtain an army post, and while Fl Paso talks of the enlargement Of Fort Bliss in her sleep, Bisbee has an army post at her business door step.
 The road between Bisbee and Fort Huachuea could be fixed up for not more than sl ,000. said a business man who returned from the post Mon day. "l learned that the government intends 70 increase the garrison ot the post to 1000 men. Tucson is wide awake as to the importance Of cultiyating commercial relations with the soldiers, and they are going after the post trade. It would come to Bisbee if Bisbee business men went after it The present road 10 the post Is iu very fair condition, but by eNpending Sl ,0e0 on it could be made a good highway. l cant understood why the business men Of the ciiy do not wake up to the importance oi the post trade before Tucson soJbies it up.'
