uNsnAKEN TESTIMONY.

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
the test. No resident who suffers

Organize a Farm Loan Association in
Your Community.

There are few farmers indeed
who do not need more ready cash
than they at present have. The
stumps need to be taken out, new
land cleared, fences built, bitches
dug, tile laid, better livestock
and better implements purchas.
ed. Hitherto making these i'm
provements on borrowed capital
has in many cases, even when the
best security was given, been i'm
possible, simply because interest
rates have been prohlbitively
high.
Now, however, with the new
rural credits law a certainty, it
seems that 5 or G per cent mon-
ey on long time IS to be placed
within reach OF every deserving
farmer. AS we are pointing out
elsewhere, presentindications are
that it is through the commune
ty farm loan association that
loans will be most quickly and
easily obtained. 1t is quite true
that not less than ten farmers
must unite to create such an as
sociation, but this fact certainly
sh hould be no serious bar to the
successful operation of the plan.
Thousands of communities both
in the United States and abroad
have already successfully worked
together along other lines, and
the benefits that will accrue from
the creations of community farm
loan associations are too great
for us to let our so called "indi-
vidualism" stand in the way.
There are a hundred legitilnite,
productive uses to which cheap
money can be nut, and when so
used the results will inevitably be
reflected in better farms, better
homes, a higher standard of liv.
ing and a better citizenship. Debt
incurred for productive purposes
is not something to be dreaded;
rather it Is q thing needed, pro.
vided, always, the interest rate is
low and the time long.
Why not take the lead in this
matter in your neighborhood,
getting all the information neces
sary, and then helping to organ
ize a local association?-The Pro
gressive Farmer.

Party Politics From 1895 10 1860.
From The News Letter,

From The News Letter.
Party politics in North Carroll
ma 1835.60, the recent James
Sprunt Historical publication by
DR.. j. G. R. Hamilton at the Uui
versity OF North Carolina, covers
almost exactly what has prop
erly been called the period o.
Transformation in the United
States.
In the East manufacture was
rising into dominancy and agri-
culture was dwindled into lnsig-
nifcance.
In what is now the Middle
West agriculture was develop
ing as never before in any coun-
try OF the world. The causes were
free public lands, immigration,
prairie farming with its unique
advantages, expansive farming,
agricultural machinery, enor-
nous increase in farm products
calling for markets, the rise OF
brisk city centers, the rapid de-
velopment OF rail roads and in
fated prices due to the flow OF
gold from California and Aus.
tralia. s,fgatt
The South during this period
was also undergoing a radical
transformation, due to the grow.
ing demand for cotton and it's in.
creasing culture under a slave.
labor system. During these years
our cotton crop in the South in
creased sixfole. The crop more
than doubled between 1850 and
1860. And yet the total cotton
acreage in the in the South in
1880 was less than the geo.
graphical'awa of South Carroll
ma, and the total number OF
shareholders was less than 3O0,.
000-in North Carolina lie s s
than IS, 900.
While the West was develop
ing upon the basis OF extensive
farming wi t h proft-produciug
machinery, the Sout was settling
down upon the basis Of cotton
production with increasingly ex-
pensive slave labor. In 1880 Z.
O00pounds OF lint cotton would
buy a prime farm hand, but in
1860 it took from Is, 900 to 49,
600 pounds to buy an able bod
led slave. Notwithstanding the
high price of cotton in the late
forties and early fiftles the prof.
it in-cotton disappeared and if
our forefathers had not produc-
ed their own supplies at home
the South would have fallen into
incurable bankruptcy.
In brief, general prosperity in
the West was based on a pros
porous agriculture, and @ pros.
porous agriculture grew out Of
an increasing use Of profit.pro.
ducing farm machinery, In the
South the labor cost of produ-
cling crops under the slave sys-
TEN wiped out profits. Slavery
was a proft-losing, not a profit
producing labor system. The de.
velopment ofcities, railroads and
manufacture. were all retarded in
consequence.
Here were profound economic
causes writing destiny in large
letters. But our:genius was po-
litical, not economic in t h o 8 e
days. And our interest was in
national not in State affairs.
