Cost of Living to Stay Up.

"High cost of living" will not be
greatly lowered by the late rains which
fell commission dealers in produce of
Washington say. Until Monday the
farmers and truckers of this county
have been missed altogether.
The good rain which fell in Washing
ton Friday did not extend quite as far
south as the District line, and in the
neighborhood of Oxon Hill there has
been no rain for weeks although Wash
ington has beenIsoaked a number of
times.
The hot weather has played havoc
with the vegetables and fruits which
are grown about Washington, much
of which is used to supply our local
markets. The country to the south of
Washington, which has always been
one of the chief berry, fruit, and vege-
table producing sections of Maryland,
has suffered perhaps as no other has.
The hot, dry weather has taken
heavy toll of profits from the farmers.
The rains which fell recently over sec
tons of Maryland will help the later
vegetables, but grave doubt is held
that they will be of any use to the
damaged summer crop. Tomatoes have
been affected materially; the hot ground
scalds the fruit on the vine, causing it
to wither and rot.
Washington commission men say that
prices of fruits and vegetables are
higher now than in the history of that
city during the last fifty years. New
potatoes bring from 81 to $3.50 per
barrel. This time last year they were
bringing less than half that price, deal
ers say. 1t is related that one man
near Surrattsville, planted eight bar
rels of seed potatoes this spring and
only got seven barrels when the pota-
toes were dug this summer. Good
stock tomatoes are bringing 81 to 81. so
per box, while this time last year the
same quality was bringing about so
cents per box, wholesale price. Cab
bage, which usually is the cheapest of
commodities, is bringing around SIS
per hundred heads wholesale, and the
quality is poor at that. String beans
are about 300 per cent. higher whole
sale than commonly at this season of
the year.
Travellers in the vicinity of Leesburg,
Va, report that some of the pastures
|>are so dry that they catch fire from the
sparks of passing engines. Pastures
over most OF Virginia and Maryland
have been short all summer, which has
had its effect on dairy products.

PUBLIC OPINION

The ratio of progress made in
the South in the last two decades
is greater than it has been in
any other section of the country,
says the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune. When we speak of
ratio, progress in the accumula-
ton of wealth is meant. Had
the people of the South been
told so years ago, when a large
part of the property of the Sec
ton consisted in slave property,
that the war then in progress
would be followed by the emanci-
patton of their slaves, but that
in the course of a few years they
would have much greater wealth
without slaves than they had
had with them, they would not
have believed it..
Had it been then predicted
that the time was coming when
a large per cent. of the cotton
crop would be turned into the
finished product in Southern
mills, why that would not have
been believed. The people who
raised the raw cotton were will
ing to sell it to the mills of
other sections and other coun-
tries, and buy back from them
the finished product as they
might require. But the rapid
accumulation of wealth and the
Investigation of industries do
not denote the very greatest
element in thesprogress that has
been made by the Southern
people. They have learned that
that need not confne themselves
to the products OF the soil; they
have learned that the facilities
for manufacturing are as great
here as in any other part of the
country. Hence, with such con-
fidence, many millions of dollars
are invested in Southern manu-
featuring and other industrial
enterprises.
In brief, the Southern people
have learned to have more con-
fidence in themselves, in their
capacity to do things, and that
is one of the leading assets in
the progress of the section.
