We hunted up a reliable news- flicted by what The News and Cou- j paper friend and heard, a different rier calls "the black parasite." There tale. The biggest day of the expo- v.rtere& as second-class matter at ;the postoffice at Charlotte, N. C. Office, 32 S. Try on St, Charlotte, N. C. I THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1911 was once a time when Charlotte was sition was' school children's day, similarly afflicted, and It is not to be j when the actual number tickets tak denied that there are some few par- j en in at the gate was 36,771. On Har asses here now, and Charleston will i mon day the attendance was 8,000: have the sympathy of all understand ing people. The News and , Courier bewails the situation as follows: "No community and no section can maintain the great number of para sites and be prosperous. It has been said that the very rich and the very poor constitute the greatest drain on society. "In this part" of the world there are very few rich, and there should be still fewer very poor. Nev ertheless the propeHty of the section suffers immeasurably from the idle ness of healthy blacks who will not work, but continue to prey with un bated zeal on those members of both races that do work for a living. "It is unpardonable that this city should at the present time be filled with idle negro men, while in the country farmers are finding1 it diffi cult to get enough hands to pick their cotton. How dp these blacks live? As they have done ever since the war, by having "their women" bring them oping an dadvancing very rapidly and it is the man who keeps abreast of the times that gets the most out of his farm. The high and increasing valke of farm products of all classes, together with the increasing cost of living in the cities, is bound to result in an ex odus of city and town people to the farms. In fact this movement has been very perceptible during the past two or three years, and, strange to say, most of the men who leave the city and go to the farm are success ful. They are willing to learn in the first place, and having been used to working all the time, they keep their eyes open for something to do and keep their farms in the best possible .shape. Most of them become special ists, growing just a few crops and endeavoring to get the very best" re sults. Many of the most successful fruit, berry and truck growers are city bred men who have learned their bus iness thoroughly and are making tre mendous profits. No State in the entire Union can offer such opportunities and advan tages to the man who would make his living and fortune out of the soil as can North Carolina. No State can offer such variety of crops and soils No State can offer such a climate as the people of this State enjoy. Al most any staple crop or fruit that can profitably be grown anywhere in the United States can be profitably grown somewhere in North Carolina. This State raises more cotton to the acre than any other cotton State With one or two exceptions this State raises more corn to the acre than any oither State. Wheat and oats and rye and barley can be grown in many cf our counties as profitably as in tne great wheat States. Clover alfalfa and other hay grops grow luxuriantly in most sections of the State. No great er opportunities can be offered" to the trucke rand berry and fruit grower by Florida or any other section. The State of North Carolina has an era of unprecedented prosperity and Wealth before her. The great truck ing belt on the east has come Into NORTH CAROLINA AND liEK FARMING RESOURCES. URING the past few years agriculture has come to be recognized as a science as well as an industry and during the same period it has become profitable to a degree that is rather sur prising to the person who thinks of the farmer of the caricaturist as t'pi- cal. As a matter or iaci, me successful farmers of to-day are men who would be most successful in oth er lines of business men with brains , inHuotrv. Tti more eauwiuuu the farmer has the easier is his path j food from the tables of the whites. .. i rtoin ,io onccAML be- I The cook's basket has become an ln- H cause the science of farming is devel- -titution in thi8 city and in the South generally, and every cook s Dasset means, or most of them do, that there is a lazy man sitting at home waiting for the female part of the company to supply him with necessaries. The flood of blacks into this city means that the cooks' baskets have been overfiood since the storm, as so many housekeepers know to their cost. This explains the loafers in front of negro dives and the black look -of the streets. "There is no time and there is no place for the black parasite. The va grancy laws should be rigidly enforc ed at tljis particular period. Country negroes who have flocked here and are without work should be sent out of town, or put to work on the road3. And the housekeepers of this town should begin a necessary reform.' They should make an agreement among themselves to prevent the carrying home by cooks of food. The eco nomic drain is too much for any com munity to stand. Why should every kitchen that is presided oved by a n egress become the source of food supply for one or more lazy negro men? The evil should be stopped." There Is Just one remedy for the situation the strict enforcement of the vagrancy law. If Charleston could import the Charlotte police force and recorder's court and keep them for a few weeks there would be effected the mightiest reform ever seen in sleepy Charleston. South Car olina has a law against vagrancy and if The News and Courier can prevail upon the police and city court to en force it in Charleston not only will there be few parasites left but there will be better roads in the neighbor hood of Charleston, if there is such a thing as a chain gang in Charleston county. j on Clark day,. 13,0410- and on Bryan day 10,000. The average -dally at tendance on the exposition is 12,000. The exposition has made "big mon ey," and its permanency is not only assured, but its expansion is a cer tainty. Eventually it is going to be one of the biggest things in the South. It deserves to be, .for It is pre-eminently educational and It is financed solely by Knoxville business houses. One of the papers to-day , prints a list of three columns of names of bus! ness firms that have taken stock in It. The exposition is a combination of an exposition and a county fair. It has swamped Knoxville with people and has put the hotel proposition up to the city in a strenuous way. The exposition is entirely too big for the hotels of the town. Hundreds of peo ple walk the streets at night unable to get accommodations at a hotel, and every outgoing train carries crowds that would stay a day longer If they would find a bed. Knoxville is long on expositions and short on hotels. I have gathered up a few points which will make material for succeeding articles. I am hopeful that the new Mecklenburg County Fair will be patterned after the Knoxville Exposition. One artistic main exposition building, a few artis tic auxiliary buildings, the grounds laid out on the exposition plan and Charlotte would have a show that would attract as much attention as this Knoxville fair. $175,000 Now on Deposit at American, Bad Lee county good roads a, desirable National --aen. is rave wui xu- ceive $40 or More Within the Next The Greensboro Dally News brought out a most creditable "Booster Edi tion," on Tuesday, the occasion being the running of the boosters' or trade excursion from that city this week. The edition contained 32 pages and was creditable in every respect. rapidly in the intensive cultivation of cotton and corn and other staple crops. The mountain section is just becoming known for the unsurpassed advantages for the apple grower and for the cattle raiser. The mountain section promises to develop very rap idly.' The Chronicle of last Saturday carried a comprehensive story of the very remarkable development during the past two or three years of toe sandhill section of the State. No sec tion of North Carolina has a brighter outlook than this. About a million acres of land cleared of its timber and long considered absolutely worth less for farming purposes because . of the sandy character of the soil, has been found to be the equal of any farming land in the State for staple crops and unsurpassed for peaches, berries and grapes. All it required was the right sort of cultivation and this has been found to be so simple that, on account of the excellent lay of the , land and the lightness of the soil, it is the most easily cultivated land in the country. The development of the sandhill section may be taken as typical of what the intensive development of the entire State will be during the next few years.' Since the value of the sandhills of Moore and the adjoining counties has been discovered people have been literally pouring into that section, a large number coming from Marlboro and other counties in South Carolina and this State where the price of land has reached a high mark. The value of the products of the soil of Moore county, this year In spff e of the drought, will probably be 100 per cent greater than the value of the products of the county three As an indication of the 'amount of traffic that will pass through the Pan ama Canal when once it is opened it Is interesting to note the business that passed through the Suez Ca nal last year. According to official British statistics the total number of Seems to us that more discord than harmenyjs resulting from Mr. Taft's little spin through the West. its own. The middle section and the' Pas8ene through the Suez noHnnnt ac ,r. m .r2tCanal ln 1910 cached 233.978, as compared with 213,121 in 1909. OI the number carried last year, those classified as military totaled 79,854, while the civilians numbered 128,171, and the pilgrims, emigrants and con victs 28,953. It is rather sad to re late of that of the 4,533 vessels that passed through the canal only eight flew the American flag and four of these were warships. Of the total tonnage for 1910, that of merchant vessels totaled 1,816,945 tons, mail steamers 3,990.817 tons. warships 112,843 tons; government chartered vessels 18,097, and vessels in4 ballast 503,193 tons. The Chronicle has just received a very handsome booklet, published by Lwora causes me to sigh, the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina, entitled, "Masonry" and containing the poem-address before the last grand lodge by Hon. Francis D. Winston. The little booklet is ded icated "to the orphan, for whose pro tection Masonry exists." The poem is decidedly interesting and readable, telling as it does of the purpose, an tiquity, origin and consummation of ' Masonry. The price of the booklet is 25 cents and the proceeds of its sale will go tp the Oxford Orphan Asylum.

A Massachusetts Inventor's horse-feeding bag has a compartment to hold grain which permits only a small puantity to reach an animal's mouth at a time, thus preventing waste. To resuscitate persons who have nearly drowned an European doctor has invent ed a simple machine to which the arms and body are fastened and manipulated to produce artificial respiration. A Belgian has Invented a method for cutting metals, similar to the oxygen acetylene process, but using hydrogen in place of acetylene in a double torch, one jet heating the metal with mixed gases, the other cutting it with pure oxygen. Woman school teachers In -the bgher schools of Russia have been put on the same wage schedule as man teachers, with the same rights in respect to pen sions. Where-ever discussion of- the mat ter took place there was a strong feeling that women should receive equal pay with men for equal work. Quebec is a city without pawnbrokers, the last person in that business having died about thirty years ago. Since that time, it is said, no person has applied for a license. The high license fee is held responsible to a considerable ex tent for this unusual state of affairs. Philip Hale reminds us of a pioneer balloonist of England who also was the first editor of the Encyclopedia Britanni ca.

Mr. George Laxton, of King's Creek, has an unusually intelligent and useful femals bird dog which he has given the popular name of "Trixle." The dog has been taught to carry in stove wood and when told to do so will proceed to fill the wood box with the light prepared wood for the stove. During the summer she also, of her own accord, took up the work of picking up apples, There Is an apple tree in .the yard near the house and as the fruit began to ripen and fall the member sof the family would go out from time to time as they heart the ap ples fall and pick them Up before the chickens got to them. Trixie watched the performance for a while and finally when an apple would fall and no mem ber of the family was present to get it she would go and get it and bring it in the house. She was of course petted and praised for her work and now she will attend to the falling fruit any time day or night. Mr. Laxton thinks a great deal of his dog and would not take a fancy price for her. class of people would come in, buy up all available land and help develop and build up the county. In some sections of Lee county one can travel for miles and hardly see a house. This land should be turned into good farms. This can be done by building good roads through it. The real estate owner should favor good roads because they would enhance the value of his property. The farmer should favor them because they will make it easier for hkn to cultivate his crop and market his produce. The merchant and business man should favor good roads because they will bring them more bus! ness. The professional man should fa vor good roads, because if the communl ty Js prosperous he will stand a better chance in the community. The laboring man should favor good roads because they mean more jobs and better wages We don't know of a class of citizens that good roads would not benefit, 'xne quickest ' and most effective way to get good roads is by bonds. When you have an opportunity, vote tor bonds for good roads and help make your county second to none In the State. Lose Mr. J. F. Xissen, Bridegroom, S300 in Green-boro. Greensboro Record.- Mr. J. F.

The dog question in Wilkes is in fair way to be satisfactorily settled without any aid from the timid Legislature. It appears that the automobiles and snakes have organised an unholy alliance against the noble progeny of civilized wolves , whose appetites are prone to sheep meat. From all parts of the coun ty, especially from the coon groves oi the Brushies, come startling reports of the devastation among the dogs which the copperhead and rattler are making. In ope neighborhood, about ten dogs last week were bitten. While the snakes are cleaning out the hedges and mountain fastnesses, the automobiles are putting in deadly havoc on the highways. In the last two or three weeks, Peter Mitch' ell's two fine descendants of yellow dog parents have succumbed to the reckless ness of the plutocratic automobile, and from every highway comes similar re ports of the auto's reckless brutality. If these things go on unchecked, the noble dog will soon have passed, like the poor Indian, to the happy hunting grounds be yond this veil of team. Seed Ought to be Higher. Monroe Journal. While cotton has been going down on the belief that a big crop has been made there is no such reason for the price of seed to be so low. There Is a big move ment for the purpose of holding cotton for better prices, and this is well. But nothing has been said about seed. The seed has become a big part of the crop. New, the Indications are that 'there will be a greater demand for the cotton seed products this year than ever before. The food crops of the country are short and in consequence the demand tor cattle food Is going to be greater than ever, Not only this, but the use of the seed products as a human food is growing oauy. xi tne people who are in control of the cotton seed market in the South were able to pay fifty cents per bushel i or seen last year they are able to pay mere than thirty now. The farmers ought 10 get ouay on the seed proposition be fore their seed are in somebody else's nanas. Snake Bites Old Colored Man. i Greensboro Record. 1 Thomas Harris, an old negro who Uvea near the Battle Ground, was bitten by a snake yesterday and is still ill as a re sult of the poison. His condition was im proved this morning and it is thought that he will recover. Harris was loading fodder in a field of a farm on which he is a tenant under Mr. S. S. Brown. He was standing on his wagon receiving e fodder from another workman in the ground when a moccasin rolled from un der his feet and bit him on the arm as he stooped.

The Charleston navy yard has plenty or work in hand and more to follow with the several lorge jobs which are now on and the coming of the reserved torpedo boats, the Atlantic torpedo fleet and oth er craft which are scheduled to be over hauled and repaired at the big govern ment plant on the. Cooper river. The warrant officers of the station- ship Baltimore and of the barracks ship Atlanta have been presented with two cases of wine and their friends at the yard are awaiting the time when the bot tles will be open. The presence of the wine on the ships is interesting. A few days ago the officers were advised by the Clyde and the Baltimore steamship com panies that the two cases of wins" were on the docks. The officers had not or ordered any liquor, but they did not. know but that some kind friends had made them a present of it and the launches were sent down for the liquor which was duly delivered at the piers and carried up to the respective vessels. When the packages were examined, W was found that the boxes were marked; in care of one Wehman and ike officers were later advised that the liquor be longed to an alleged dealer. Yet the boxes were marked plainly "Warrant Officers," with the name of the Baltimore on one and the Atlan . on the other, Possession is nine-tenths of the law and the last heard ef the eases of Urine was that the packages were on the vessels. The wine -may be confiscated under the dispensary law. It is understood that same inquiries are being made as to whether a dealer can not be prosecuted whe use without au thorlzatlon the same of1 another Uersen or persons in importing liquor and vio lating thd law. On this point the navy yard authorities and- the United states district attorney's of flee had no statement to make to-day, e- , Tfce Storm as a Cleanser, Charleston News and Courier, According to' Captain John H, Dever eau, superintendent of government buildings, the hurrt cane was one of thise ill winds tltat nevertheless blew some body good. The beneficiary In this case was the custom house. Captain Deveraux when asked yesterday what had become of the government's proposition to have the granite work of the custom house cleaned by and blast, said: "This work together with the work of repairing the fence has been postponed until spring. However, another hurricane will finish the work and save Uncle Sam a portion, at least, of bis annual spring cleaning. The hurricane of the 27th end 28th worked wonders in the way of clean ing the stone work of the custom house, as any one can see. The water blasts have done the work almost as effectively as the sand blasts, which were proposed. The storm also put to flight the English sparrows, concerning which many com plaints have been made. They had built their nests about the cornice work of the granite columns and their filth spoiled the appearance of the massive stone pillars.'
