crop yields are good, farmers can
look forward to at least two more
years of prosperity. After that, the
going is likely to get tougher.
The, war years have left a large
void of consumer goods in rural,
as well as urban, areas. Farmers
should prove to be the best custo-
mers next year OF many distribu-
tors. Sellers of general merchan-
disc should do well. the big mail
order houses especially should
prosper. To most farm families the
mail-order catalogs are second in
importance only to the Bible. How
ever, hope the latter will continue
to occupy the place of honor, and
support, as only it can 90, the
sturdy integrity and morality OF
Americas millions of farm homes.
Farm areas offer lush fields also
to manufacturers and distributors
of farm equipment and supplies.
The need is so great that this bls;-
ness should not be hard to get, al
though the biggest rewards will

think the outlook also is favorable
for distributors and manufacturers
Of electrical appliances, provided
they are equipped to reach the
farm market. Since farm produc-
ton is likely to continue large next
year, fertilizer producers and dis
tributors should enjoy good bust
ness. Lumber and other building
materials should be in good de-
nand in rural areas in 1916.
Farm land values have zoomed
and may 80 still higher; but, in my
opinion, are reaching vulnerable
levels. Farmers, in the flush of
their current prosperity, should
not over-extend and should stay
out OF debt as much as possible.
Owners of speculative farm land
should consider shifting into good
urban real estate or other assets
such as sound securities. The farm
land boom will not last forever.

CHERRY C0MMUTES
BROOKS SENTENCE

RALEIGH, Dec. Ex-Governor
Cherry today committed to life inn
prisonment the death sentence Of
15-year-old Ernest Brooks, Jr.:
New Hanover county Negro con-
victed last March of criminal as
sault and burglary. ::
The youth was to have been ex-
ecuted in the state gas chamber
on December %. His conviction
and sentence recently was upheld
by the State Supreme Court.
Brooks confessed both crimes,
the Governor said, adding however
that the communication had been
recommended by Judge J. Paul
Frizzelle, Of Snow Hill, the trial
Judge. A number of appeals had
been made to the Governor to com
mute the sentence.
Declaring that the youths crime
strikes at the very foundation OF
civilized society,"" Cherry said a
part of the blame for the Negro
deeds falls upon the citizenship
of our state who fail to correct the
conditions of society which neglect
to give proper environment for the
underprivileged. "
After an exhaustive investiga-
ton, we said, he satisfied his own
mind that:
l. Brooks was 10 days under
Is years of age at the time the
crimes were committed.
2. THAT some part of his delin-
1uency resulting in the revolving
crimes committed arises from the
neglect Of the state and society in
general to provide a better en-
for growth into a usefW
citizen.
3. IT do not know of any pre-
.edent in North Carolina for the
aw to take the life Of one Of the
lge of this defendant at the time
he crimes were committed.
Cherry said that in his opinion
our public schools, equipped with
apable teachers who have
roper insight for the training OF

ompulsory attendance law, would

Nevertheless, the overall picture

Farmers, in my opinion, have no
cause for complaint. In fact, they
nave Jared unusually well during
the past few years of large crops

by the fact that cash receipts from
farm marketings rose steadily
from $7,877, 00o, 900 in 1889 to a

statement that the agricultural
outlook over the next year or two
