OCTOBER 28, 1905
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Mr. J. S. Whitten, of Danbury
Route 1, was in town Monday.
Mr. Whitten returned from the
tobacco market a few days ago
where he sold a load of leaf at an
average of about seven cents. He
says this is the average price being
paid, and that he saw lots of to
bacco selling at one cent a pound.
Mr. Whitten says that competition
on the markets is practically a
thing of the past, that the Trust
has things its own way, and that
the farmer who depends on to
bacco for his living is in a bad
row of stumps.
Mr. Whitten is right. The day
has come when it is a suicidal
policy for the Stokes county far
mer to stake his future on to
bacco. The tobacco raising fan
atics say that we cannot live un
less we raise it, in face of the fact
that evory pound produced costs
the farmer nearly 8 cents,while the
Trust won't give him but 7 for it.
By what process of reasoning "a
living" is found in this, we are at
a loss to determine.
Diversified farming—raising
wheat, rye, oats, corn, cattle, poul
try, grass, potatoes and clover,
and a reasonable amount of to
bacco —is our hope. And moro
scientific methods, rational rota
tion of crops, improving the land,
planting less, reaping more.
THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT.
The greatest event of the past
week, in North Carolina, was the
visit of President Roosevelt to tho
State. Tho political import of
the event is that the President
is making a fight to force the rail
roads to regulate their freight
rates, and is not being supported
in this attitude by his own party.
He hopes in his tour through the
South to win some friends among
Southern Democratic congress
men who will support his policy
in the next congress.
The tour was a great success.
North Carolina gave Mr. Roose
velt a reception and welcome emi
nently befitting the President of
tho United States and the first
citizen of the world. Thousands
and thousands of people saw him
at Raleigh, Greensboro, High
Point, Salisbury, Lexington and
Charlotte. Among tho crowds
wore a largo number of people
from Stokes.
It is hoped that the President's
visit to the South will result in
much good. Ho made many* new
acquaintances among us, and got
a much bettor understanding of
Southern conditions and Southern
life than any other Republican
President has ever done. The j
many kind things he said to us,;
and the splendid tributes he paid j
to the old Confederate soldiers,
won for him many warm personal
friendships.
THE VOTING CONTEST.
The voting contest now running

what is necessary. It soothes the I,
throat because it reduces the L
