Hatred and Greed
Held Cause of
Troubles
BY PAUL CALICO

BOSTON, Dec. 8 U.N.S0.-The
venerable doctor sat behind his
desk and listened to the case of
the patient and then, like all
great doctors, offered the simplest
Of cures.
His office was plain, in panelled
wood. Paintings hung on the
wall. The doctor was a young
looking old man, with a round
face, friendly eyes behind spec
tacles and a mouth that has long
been used to kindly laughter. On
his desk were a few papers, a
book or two, a large bell, a small
statue. There was also a small,
wooden letter basket. In it re-
posed a three-cornered red hat.
u. S. is PATIENT
The doctor was William, Cardi-
nal O'Connell, of Boston, who to-
day celebrates his seventy-eighth
birthday.
The patient was this country,
sick and sore, in body and in
soul.
His prescription was faith, faith
in God and faith in the love of
man for man, and in the decency
Of human kindness.
He talked and prescribed, not as
a prelate, but as a man who has
lived long in this world and has
seen all that there is to see, as an
old man, almost in the patriarchal,
tribal sense, barking back to the
primitive when the wisdom of the
old men was the law.
PRESCRIBES FOR ALL
He prescribed for all people to
whom faith and religion had ever
been more than words. He spoke
not as a priest but as a doctor. The
feeling and sense Of his speaking
was:
"You are i'll. I have a cure. I
know that it is the right one.
have faith in it. Why don't
you try it?

WHAT OTHER EDITORS ARE SAYING
FIFTH IN FARM CROP VALUES

Ask the average man in the street what IS
North Cardinals most valuable farm crop and
he is likely to place cotton at the head OF the
list or at least to say that cotton and tobacco
are two principal crops in point of value and
that he is not certain which leads.
Comparatively few would not be surprised
to learn that the value of the 1886 tobacco crop
was more than double the value of the cotton
crop, although many have known that tobacco
has been the leader for some years. ,e
w. H. Rhodes, chief of the Agriculture de-
partment's statistics division, in cooperation
with the Federal bureau of agricultural eco
Monies, has just completed, study OF the value
of North Carolina crops, to find that cotton lint
and seed combined did not bring the farmers
one-half the revenue last year that was paid
for the States leaf tobacco.
The tobacco crop brought more. than $780,
100000, while the cotton crop, lint and seed,
brought less than $50,000,00O. Corn, third in
rank was valued at slightly less than $4O,OOO-
600, while commercial truck, valued at almost
$l5.OOO,O0O, took fourth place in the list. Add
Irish and sweet potatoes however, and the
truck crop totals about $300O0,0OO. The States
livestock value adds $94,00O,OOO to that OF farm
crops
In the aggregate, says Mr.. Rhodes report,
North Carolina farm crops for 1896 were worth
$235, 100000 and placed the State fifth in rank
among the States of the Union.
Even so, North Carolina is much more dis
tinct1y an industrial than an agricultural State.
Although it ranks 18th among the States in the
value of manufactured products, they are worth
almost three and half times the value OF its
marketable farm crops, according to latest
available statistics The States. manufactured
products for 1888, very low year, were valued
at $877, 852, 1872.
In other words even though North Carolina
is one Of the leading five agricultural States
Of the Nation, its farm crops are worth consid-
erably less than onethird the value OF its manu-
factures-The Charlotte Observer. ~

SPREADING GOOD CHEER

The greatest plague Of the human race has
been tuberculosis and even today there is not q
man, woman or child who isn't terrified by the
mere thought Of having this CHASTITY, dreadful
disease that has killed more people than that
many other diseases combined,
Up until only few years ago medical science
was completely baffled by this disease which
generally proved fatal to every one Of its vic
Tins and while it is still right much Of mys-
terry, rapid strides in developing treatments for
prevention and cure have been made.
The statistics show that thirty years ago one
person in every 200 had the disease whereas
today only one person in every go have it.
Three decades ago most every tuberculosis pa
tient died. while today a large percentage Of
them are cured.
In connection with the progress that is being
made in the prevention Of this White Plague,
significant announcement was made last Sum
day from the Cornell medical center, stating
that new, safe vaccine made of steam-cooked
tuberculosis germs and heated horse serum,
had been perfected For years medical science
has been conducting worldwide search for
preventive serum that will provide complete
immunization from the disease and if this vac
cine Will accomplish that purpose, one OF the
greatest discoveries of the century has been
made.
To provide funds with which to carry on this
fight against tuberculosis the sale of anti-tu-
berculosis Christmas seals has been sponsored
in every community in the United States for
several years.
Nearly five million dollars are raised annual
ly by this sale and the money is used locally
and nationally to fight this disastrous enemy OF
humanity.
The 1888 Christmas Seal campaign is now
underway in Ashe and throughout the country
and we urge everyone to take advantage OF this
wonderful opportunity to render service and to
help promote great cause by purchasing full
share of these attractive little messengers OF
Christmas cheer, good will and good health.
They only cost one penny each and large
percentage of the funds remain right here at
home. Buy generous supply!

A GOOD OPPORTUNITY

Unlike many of the tobacco and cotton farm
ers of the piedmont and eastern section OF the
Carolinas, the farmers of Ashe county do not
confne their efforts to the raising OF one big
money crop. They practice, as all good farm
ers should, diversified farming and the result
is that they are not left "holding tbs, bag" when
prices on one commodity slump to the bottom.
During recent years the demand for good
hurley tobacco has been increasing rapidly and
we are gratifed to note that each year a larger
number of our farmers are raising some Of this
golden-brown weed. Apparently the demand
will continue to increase year after year and SO
long as prices range above the twenty-cent per
pound mark, there is good profit to be derived
from this crop.
The climate and soil here are well suited to
the growing of this crop and we urge that an
even greater number of our farmers make tnel
plans now to plant some tobacco next spring.
