MORE ABOUT FARM SETTLERS:

Showing the need of farm settlers In
Henderson county, the Democrat last
week gave statistics to the effect that
! 72.6 per cent of our acreage is .unculti-
waited, making room for 1850 new FAM
! lilies in this county, alloting 70 acres TO
/ each family and reserving $4,000 acres
in the county for wood-lot purposes.
It will be of interest to those inter-
ested in this important subject to learn
that a Belgian colony near Wilmington
, is bringing satisfactory returns and
and that the experiment may ultimate
ly mean the solution of the immigra-
ton or settlers problem for North
Carolina.
The Charlotte Observer contained the
following on this subject:
"In April and May, twelve Belgian
families set to work on the lands of
the st. Helena Colony, near Whining
ton, and within seventy days after
their arrival some of them were selling
truck of their own cultivation. This is
an eloquent fact Mr.. Roy G. Booker
of The Manufacturers Record has
made a visit to this colony founded
several years ago and added to from
time to time by thrifty people of vari-
Gus nationalities, and he gives some
detailed information that is very much
to the point. Speaking of the importa-
ton of the Belgians he says it took APP
proximately $4,000 a family and six
months time to bring them to North
Carolina. 1t took a representative OF
Hugh MacRae & Co.. working with the
priests and burgomasters at the var1-
Gus concentration camps in Belgium
several months to select just the right
kind of families desired. After they
arrived here a farm of ten acres to
family was placed at their disposal,
with cottage completely equipped for
housekeeping and the land prepared
ready for planting the day they arriV-
ed. 1t is the plan of Mr.. McRae, who
is the concern that is developing two
tracts of land totaling 10000 acres for
colonization purposes to give the Bel
gian-Americans every possible chance
to make good. If they do demonstrate
their worth and thus establish conf
dence among their fellow-countrymen,
in the agricultural and industrial posi-
bilities of the south, it is only natural
to suppose, according to Mr. MacRac,
that there will be great influx of i'm
migration of this character when the
war ends. Mr.. MacRae, we are told,
believes that they will make goo6.
We have no doubt of the fact. The
success attending this colonization
movement from the start indicates that
Mr.. MacRae and his associates have hit
upon the solution of the immigration
problem for North Carolina. 1t only
needs to be enlarged on in general by
land owners and land companies
throughout the state.

CARRANZA MUST GO.

President Wilson and the American
people generally used to think well OF
Venustiano Carranza when he and his
co-partner General Villa sought to de-
thorne Victorianna Huerta and estab-
lish a stable government in Mexico.
Not so today and Carranza must be
dealt with as any other Mexican bandit.
He seeks to inflame the minds of his
followers against the United States III
the way of good government, rather
than yield to plans, proposed by this
country and the Latin-American gov
ernments, which do not provide for
fastening his dictatorship upon help
less people whom he has brought to
starvation. His appeal to prejudice
must fail in the end, for he is receiv-
ing cold comfort from South American
centers in his efforts to convince them
that the United States has the con-.
quest of Mexico in mind.
The Watchful waiting policy of
President Wilson saw the downfall OF
the tyrannical Huerta. but it now APP
pears that more than mere tufts OF
grass must be employed if barbarism
in Mexico shall end and her starving
people heave a sigh of relief from tho
operations of another would be die
tator Other faetional leaders recog-
nize the good faith of the United States
and show a willingness to cooperate
in the movement for the restoration OF
good government down there. Latin
American diplomats have united with
President Wilson in an appeal calling
upon collection of Individuals whose
istock in trade has been to fomen,
strife, to put aside selfish ambition
and join in the stupendous task Of re
! storing peace to a long suffering peo-
pie. But Carranza defies the United
States and needs not the voice of pan
America. Ife is determined upon a
force appears the only road to adjust
ment. Border towns of Southern
! Texas are menaced by the deprada-
lions of Mexican bandits. The United
States would have been justified in
using force long ago. It appears to
be the only alternative at the present
, time.
The press and people of South Amer.
lea are in absolute accord with oul
President and the appeal to Mexican
leaders leaves little to -be said befor;
decisive action shall be taken TIL,
| purpose is plain. There must be al
end to butchery on the-ield and star
walton in the homes and Carranz,

COMMISSIONERS ACT IN THE
CASE OF FISHER VS. TOXAWAY.

E. w. Ewbank, zeb F. Curtis and
Geo. H. Wright, the two latter of
Asheville, special commissioners ap-
pointed by Judge Long to allot GER
tain lands on the bank Of Lake Tox-
away between the tenants in common,
G. w. Fisher and the ToXaway Co., in

Co., met at Lake Toxaway on last Fri
day to make the allotment ordered.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Judge H.
C. Ewart and J. S. Adams, represent

rs to the value of certain improve
ments alleged to have been made by
the Toxaway Co., amounting to sixty
thousand dollars.
Argument was heard by counsel.
The commissioners allotted to the
plaintiff SO acres of land near the
lake. Exceptions will probably be
