Mere Concerning Good Roads.
Raleigh, July II.

North Carolina spent four million
dollars on her roads last year with
| absolutely 10 State supervision; in
some cases competent highway engi-
neers have been employed, but in
many cases the money has been ey-
pended in q dangerously slipshod
way. This is the only State, so far
as we know, that is spending that
amount in such a careless fashion.
In this day Of the multiplying motor
car, traffic has grown SO far beyond
merely local travel that it is to the
interest of the entire State to see
that the good roads movement does
not receive a setback in any locality;
where money is spent without ade-
quate return it does receive D decid-
ed scttGcE, &c me,c~Cr where tie
fault may lie. But if the State stood
ready to furnish expert advise, if
not financial aid, the chances of the
money being thrown away would be
greatly lessened, for it is not graft
that is making away with our road
funds, but ignorance.
We must have a State Highway
Department.; sooner or later We.nust
also have State aid, but it is worse
than useless to furnish funds with
out any supervision Of their expen-
diture. With a competent man at
head Of q department with power to
do something, we would have star
ting-place from which to prosecute
the work; with some system injected
into the situation We would know
where we are. At present, beyond
the incomplete figures that DR.. Pratt
has been able to gather in the inter-
walls between his other duties, We
have no road statistics nothing
whatever to go on. A highway de
partment could soon give us the in
formation that is so absolutely ne
cessary to any intelligent attempt to
improve the roads Of the State at
large, but without It we are all at
sea. We ere working in the dark
and as often as not striving against
each other.-Lexington Dispatch.

The country school teacher and
preacher are the most important
aud influential men IN any communi-
ty. If they are OF force have abll-
ity to do their work they can COM
mand fair salaries, and if the coun-
try or rural communities will not
pay them living wages, they go to
the cities where their efficient servi.
ces wi earn them decent living
Two reasons Why SO many people
leave the country and go to the
cities are because they find better
schools and better preachers in the
cities. The explanation is, the city
teachers are better paid. The Pro-

HIiaI Cholera Costs.

L statistics were prepared show
ing the loss annually caused by the
death OF hogs and poultry by chol-
era, the results would be appalling
and in the United States alone
would lun into millions of dollars.
An effective remedy against the
ravages of this disease has been
found in Cai-Sino powders. 1t is
not only q cure but sure preven-
tive. Cal-Sino wards off cholera
and other bowel ailments and keeps
swine Or fowl in the pink Of condi-
ton. The preparation is a prescrip-
ton Of one Of the foremost veteri-
narians Of the age, and the results
from its use have been amazingly
satisfactory. Hundreds Of volun-
taTy testimonials bear evidence to
this fact. Cal-Sino is put up in two
forms, one for poultry and one for
hogs. 4 small portion mixed with
the food viii keep the swine or fowl
strong and healthy. The manu-

The COTTON PROSPECTS,
No Big Surplus OF Old Crop and New
Crop vii. be ia.e.

| Between the arrival Of the first
bale of cotton in southern Texas or
July End and the beginning Of the
season on September lst is a period
of about sixty days in which tie
mind of the market begins to be
made Up on decreasing proportion
oil risks and increasing certainties.
The time is at hand when definite
knowledge cf what the old crop will
have to spare is available. One
thing thus far is certain, that there
will be no big surplus anywhere.
Another is that because OF the late
season Sectember-October receipts
are apt to be light.
A month Or more ago it was held
that the South probably had 2,OOO,-
0C0 bales let over. But any one
who goes 10 find it will come out
much below his estimate. A trip
through the South made late in June
and early in July, covering every
important cotton State, revealed
only few instances Of cotton on
railway platforms and then only in
small quantities. The fact is that
the South has sold out much more
fully than most people believe.
They have done so because they
they needed the money for this
years crop, to grow which they
borrowed less than usual.
Another factor which brings early
new cotton into prominence, beside
the general clearing up Of the home
market, is the early efforts of Euro
pean buyers to get hold Of Septen-
Der and October deliveries. This is
the habit of Europe whenever cot
ton is low. At this time it is paying
Y cents for what cost from Y down
to 9:55 last year during these two
months. Although their buying
may not be so persistent as in 1911,
the crcp OF the current year will
move early and literally if the for
eign buyer can get it at what he
regards as fair price. He has al
ready taken 1928 900 bales of the
crop of 1911, anti viii probably
round out O,5OO,00 bales by Au-
gust 31st.
1t is the foreign buyer that has
helped to clean up the market Of
spinnable cotton throughout the
year. The domestic takings have
been less early; but with spinning
prices improving early new crop
ought to be ia general demand. Oc-
tober at 1920 is only points be-
low January and 6 below December. /
Last year in September October
2, ,430, 900 bales were taken at an
average export price Of 1o.4 cents,
against 14.2 in 1910 and 1872 in t
1909. This years price is likely to
be nearer the maximum of-these
than the minimum Wall Street |

against his record in my Raleigh
speech, inmy Greensboro speech or
IN my Durham speech, in joint dis
cussion with him.
| am glad that Capt. Ashe found
nc inaccuracies in my remarks upon
Lorlmer, reciprocity, lumber, pine
apples and the Senator's attitude on
the tariff and the farmer. Senator
Simmons III his speeches for a tariff
on cotton seed oil, for tariff on
monaZitc sand, fos tariff on que
bTacno and for a tariff on lumber
showed conclusivelv that he favors a
tariff for the benefit of certain in
dustries-and this is all that pro-
tectlve tariff means In addition to
these speeches, ha has by various
votes shown his protective views.
On July 19. 1911. he argues that a
protective tariff benefits the farmer.
Our State platform declares that
protection is a rsbbery Of the many
Tor the enrichment Of the few. Our
platform declares that Con
gress has no constitutional right to
levy a tariff for any purpose except
for revenue, It en1rses the record
Of the Democratic House and de-
clares that protection does not help
the farmer or the wage Garner.

Of feeds and knowledge On the

A Big Cow Fish.

Beaufort, N. C. July 27.-One Of
the most curious fish ever caught
near Beaufort was captured yester-
day morning by Capt. John B..
Moore. 2 boatman from the Inlet
Inn. This fish is known as cow
fish and is of the mammal variety
something similar to a whale, meas
nred some twenty feet in length and
weighed,about 800 pounds. 1t was
cantured right in front Of Inlet Inn
and was quite curiosity to the Wis
itors in Beaufort. The Editorial
Association from Morehead City,
Atlantic Hotel, was brought over in
hoats to see this curiosity. Captain
Moore says that this IS quite cari-
ositv and is very rare fish. The
vav it was captured, it came up in
sboallv water and as the tide fell, it
co,ld not get off the shoal and beat
;teolf 70 death and while in its fury,
# would throw water forty or fifty
foot high. making a beautiful rain
how effect, to be seen from the Inlet
Inn norch. about 7:30 O'Clock. Large
crowds are visiting this curiosity.
