All the bureaucratic parade of investigation is wope tlian useless ill that it is made a plea for rlelaying revision of the tariff demanded by public opinion and public interests. Thursday. July 20. 1911 INCREASED ASSESSMENT. There are many complaints in defferent quarters over the in creased property assessment in this state. This is very natural and no doubt was expected. We presume it would be quite im possible to equalize the assess ment sO as to give general satis faction, There could exist but little doubt for the necessity for an increase in the assessments, and an effort at least to equalize property value, so that the tionately upon the man of large )on the smj ty holder. While this may nev er be accomplished, it was at least worth an effort. There is no doubt that there is as much as fifty million dol lars or more, of property North Carolina that bears but little if any burden of taxation. This property is principal held by the rich who are able to pay their taxes, and should be made to pay them. The state has created new offices, and in! creased the salary for old ones The demand for more money to | operate her benificent institution! is taxing the states resouices to furnish it. Something must be done, so bear your berdens without complaint. Important io The Farmers of The State. The planting season in many sections opened with less water in the subsoil than ever before, and th? rainfall in most places since Ai)ril 1st is below the average for this period by several inches. As a result, the soil isunsusually dry, and the soil water unusually low j for this season of the year, And, as already stated, we are just entering the critical ])eriod in the growth of the crop“the stage of growth at which most moisture is required to bring to good fruitage atvl maturity. With a normal rainfall the remainder of the growing season it will require our utmost .skill to produce a fair crop in many sections. We will have to converse every particle of moisture jiossible, and herein we need to be resourceful, and perform the work in the most efficient manner. The only thing to do is to cultivate. Cultivate shallow, cultivate frequently. Avoid open furrows. The man who takes a shovel j)Iosv, or solid sweep and 0})ens a ! ditch on each side of the row, as some j are now doing, isguilty of murder—the ! destruction of plant life. Ileelscrapes, I cotton sweeps, harrows and cultivators, 1 set to run shallow, not over one or two I inches deep, are gooil implements to , • ! use in making a dust mulch. Lay aside den might rest as near as possi-1 ble with equal weight propo- save the ci(>p. Make all possible haste to stir the soil after a shower. Under means as upon the small proper- present ct)nditions it is imperative that we do this: if we do not, and a crust is allowed to f irm and remain for a few days the soil actually becomes tlryer than if no rain had fallen, and the crop suffers most severely We should keep the cultivation in i even if no rain falls to form a crust. In some instances it may be better to run a drag or a light roller constructed for the purpose to break the crust or compact the soil where too open and loose. Go over the crop everp week or ten days; if allowed to lie too long, injury will be done by cultivation. It behooves us as farmers to study the situation, to stand bv our crops, seek advice from each other and try not to let our crops sull’er through any mistake of ours. There is another thing that should not escape our attention —the scarcity and high price of hay. Many farmers are now paying $30 t> $35 cash j)er ton, and $35 to $40 on time for timothy hay The drought has cut short the hay croi' in the North and West, and hay is going to be scarce and high next notable ; winter and spring. Fortunately, it is not too late for us to yet grow' the hay and forage that we will need. An acre or two sowed or planted to sorghum nov.', or sny time in July, and well fertiliz(‘d, will yield an abundance of forage. Millet can be sown, as also can corn, cow Trust no future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! — Longfellow.

Governor Blease of South' Carolina made some addresses in South Carolina on the 4 of July, at Cowpens and at Drayton. It was a speach intemperate, and acrid to the extreme, one better fitted for a fool than for the Governor of South Carolina. Here is a few things he said: “At Dayton he denounced negroes, whom he called “apes and baboons,” and for whom he said the most effective remedy was “a little gunpowder and a few buckshot;” openly gave his approval to lynching; sneered at pro hibition; condoned manslaughter com mitted in the heat of passion; defended his pardoning of convicts and justified his other official acts which have evoked criticism; slurred Northerners; de nounced newspapers, especially the Columbia State and the Spartanburg Herald; spoke contemptuously of the University of South Carolina and Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the uni versity; denied that he had sold pardons, and declared that if he should be im peached he would go to the United States senate as the successor of SenatorB. R. Tillman.” The Governor may think it, but he will never fill Ben Till-: mans shoes in the Senate, never. To Hang Train Wreckers. (Philadelplu'a Press.) The sole crime punishanle by death in the State is deliberate and premedi tated murder or the killing of a hu!u;>.n being in the perpetrati»n or attempt to perpetrate any arson, rape, robbei-y or burgliiry. The killing of any num ber of human beings l>y dt'liber:itely throwing a moving train olV the track will not cause the man convicted of this offense to lose hi? lif*\ 'I'lio House at Harrisburg thinks evidently this is a mistake, for it has passed ’>11 second reatling, without a dissenting vote, a bill making trainwrecking whirh results in loss of life pui'ishable by death. I Though the general tendency of the 1 present day is to restrict rather than | extend the af)j)lication of the death ] penalty, no valifi objection can be made j to inchr''’ g killing caused by train wrecking in the iist of homicidcs for | which life is to be forfeiteti.

A man capable of such a crime is too wicked to live. THE WARE KRAMER SUITS. While the jury did not award to Ware Kramer Co. the damages they were entitled too, but they did award them damages, and found the American Tobacco company guilty as charged. This while not a signal victory is evidence of an a>vakening of the public conscience, though a tar dy awakening. If the Sherman anti trust law had been inforced immediately after its passage by congress and continually enforced from then to this date there would have a great many more independant manufacturers of tobacco still in existance in North Carolina and Virginia, and the price of the leaf would have not been main tained at a figure that would have made the growers a little less than slaves. Did Mr. Eller get mixed up in his attempt to mix up Senator Simmons in the lumber tariff Philadelphia Record. It will be recalled that a litcle w’hile before the election for congress in 19U9 announcement was made from head quarters of the tariff board in Wash ington that a corps of its “experts” were busy in Ohio colleci’ng data on wool from the sheep growers, with a view to early revision of Schedule K. To vary this political diversion it was announced by cable that .1. B. Reynolds, a member of the'board, was investiga ting the cost of producing woolen fabrics in Chemnitz and other cities of Germany. His skill and success in worming out of German factory owners the secrets of their business may be [ readily imagined. It was announced in congress the other day that a corps of alleged “experts” of the tariff board had alighted in Philadelphia to scientifically investigate its textile fab rics, and this was seriously given as a reason for postponing revision of the brutal schedule of duties on woolen till next December. Is it not now high time to end this investigation farce? The first ap- pi-opriation of $250,0(>0 for the tariff •board is gone, with no' visi^le results, and the second, of $220,000 is in rapid process of exhaustion. As for the pretended experts of the tariff board, they are for the most part mere tite barnacles of a bureaucratic system of a Iministration that has grown up in Washington, and are no more capable of making a scientific investigation of any question than any other intelligent men acting in private capacity. All they can do is to heap up a huge and undigested mass of more or less dubious statistics for the public printer. If further investigation were really needed there are intelligent consuls of the United States in all the industrial centres of the world, who could furnish authentic official information if it were of any value. But the fact is that such publicists and economists as Carroll D. Wright, David A. Wells, Jacob Schoenhof and Chester Whitney Wright have put congress And the government in possession of all the knowledge on For suirmer diarrhoea in children al ways give Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and castor oil, and a speedy cure is certain.
