ENGLAND AND AMERICA

The destinies of these two countries
are the same. They both stand or fall
together. Why there should be any
feeling existing between these two
countries is traceable, We believe, to
ignorance both on the part of Ameri-
cans and English alike. Unless we al
low our country to be flooded with un-
desirable migrants there is as much
probability Of these two countries go
ing to war as there is for Chinaman
to become an Anglo-Saxon. No! Eng
land and America have had their first
and last war. The Americans are not
afraid Of England because we do not
realize the strength Of England; Eng
land is not afraid Of America be-
cause she knows more about history
and knows that the American people
have too much sense, as a nation to
ever come in conflict with her, for in
so dong We would forever cripple
our own interests. Both our country

number OF cases Of rape all over the
country and we venture the statement
that half of them are traceable to the
fact that white women do not wear
enough clothes to hide their per-
sons. No wonder that both white men
and negroes are In the business -
dragged into 1t by temptation- the
crimes of the whites being concealed,
smothered and the negroes executed
by some Of the very men that allow
their daughters to dress nudely. Even
among our religious and very best
women we observe them, too, tug
ging at their dresses all the time, con-
scious and God-convicted that they
ought to be ashamed Of themselves.
Some Of us who are much married.
some of us who are growing old.
some of us who are sufficiently grown

sons whose future will be ruined by
such women. God have mercy upon

DIVORCE.

Divorce in America is a consp;cu
GUS sign Of the decline OF those v,r-
tues upon which Anglo-Saxon society
Ieses. In the year 1886 there were
1850 divorces; In 1906 there $4,000:
III 1910 there were $4,000 or about
eieVen per cent of the total number
Vi marriages. Since our women have
gone into politics you may expect the

OF them; but it is not politics that
scares us, 1T is the question OF morals

Letter from T. NJ. Darlington
Rfchmond, Va, to f. Watkins.

Dear Sir
The absolute importance of reduc-
ing the acreage of bright tobacco is
becoming more and more in evidence
every day.
There is no demand whatever for
low grades and will not be to any an
preciable extent until conditions in
central Europe become more stabliz-
eo and their commercial and financial
situation very much improved. and
there Is nothing now to give any en-
couragement that this will take place
anywhere IN the near future. As this
chaotic condition continues, the ne
cessities of life will become more and
more an essential to Europe and to-
pacco and cotton must wait.
Ihere being two years supply of
common tobacco now on hand VIII re-
suit in low grades of tobacco con-
unuing to be way below the cost of
production, and the only salvation is
TO have half a crop planted, which
VIII possibly make from ten to fif-
teen per cent per acre than a full
planting, with every reason to believe
that the result of this reduction in
planting will be good to fine tobac-
co, which is the only kind that there
Is any chance Of being in good de-
mand. Therefore, every farmer
should take this into serious consid-
Grafton and feel that the only way to
nave a reduction is for everybody to
reduce.
