\ J ADVERTISING [ I IS THB ROAD TO SUCCESS WATCH THOSE WHO j ADVERTISE IK THIS PAPBft VOL. V. NO si. \ CX)TTON. F A Large Cotton Producer Talks of [ the Crap and the Value I Handled Fropmly. (Charlotte Otmnw) This seems 10 be the day of the farmer, and be is disposed to make the moat of it; he in a general way, ahd on cotton ia | particular. | An Obaenrer maa had a talk yes terday with one of the leading cot ton gioweia of the State, aad got from him a splendid idea.and some interesting facts. This man haa proven himself thoroughly practi cal by his ancCeaa; he ia nothing of a dreamer. He baa oyer 900 acres in cotton this year, and his crop will be twenty percent lean than it waa last year. la answer to the question j "What do yon think of the cotton situation ? " "The cotton crop now being har vested can be made the most vain able crop ever gathered, if the farmers will act in coocctt aad 00 similar lines in every State, county and community. "There ia now no question of the crop being a moderate,if not a very small one compared to what was expected two, yea one month ago. The whole spinning world is de pleted of cotton; must have cotton, no matter what the coat. The pres ent crop can be made to average at least 12 cents, if not 15 cents per pound to the grower, if the grow ers will gin an aell cautiously. If only half the cotton picked each week is" placed on the market and the other half hdd back, either stored in bonded warehouse when money must be obtained, or stored on the farms either ginned and baled or in the aeed: there would be no glutting the market for Oc tober, November and December, which is the very condition the speculators want, ia order that they may be able to buy what may be in active demand the world over, at much higher pricea after Janu ary Ist. "What is true of cotton I ajso true of cotton aeed. The oil mills are entering the crushing season with cotton seed oil 10 cents per gallon lower than last year or for the laat five years, and consequent ly the mills cannot pay by $5.00 per ton as much as they paid all through the Isst season for seed. VWe have almost identically the same condition in all crops affect ing cotton oil as existed for the 1 season 1893-1893 when cotton oil went to 65 cents per gallon in Feb ruary 1893. We have a very short Icrop of wheat this year, as com pared with the crop for several years past. There is no old wheat to be bad st any price, and the the present price for wheat ia 33 per cent higher than last year. "The present corn prospects are tor crop smaller than in ten yean, with perhapa one exception, aad if as short as now predicted, corn will go to 75 cents and perhaps higher, per bushel. A short crop and high prices for corn, means s short crop and high pricea for hogs; and with hogs high, lard will be high, and high priced lard means high priced cotton oil: and why not high high prices for cotton teed paid to the farmers? "The crop of linseed oil now be ing harvested in the Northwest, is only about one-half to three-fifths the crop harvested laat year, and the result is, linseed is forty per oent, the oil about thirty per cent, linseed cake and meal thirty-five to forty per cent higher. "But the United States h not the only country with short crops. All of the European countries with out a aingle exception, have the poorest crops of graia, feed and fodder they have had for years. Russis, the greatest grower sod competitor of the United States for the trade of Europe, for whest, is fully employed trying to whip its very small, and as she supposed, insignificant antagonist Japaa; and the result b she will have no wheat K to export, and if the war should A continue for several years, as it is W very likely to do, Russia will soon W be importing wheat and all kinds of V provisions I "The olive oil crop of all coun -1 trim bordering ou the Mcditerran- I esn sda is reported 00 beat authori w ty to be only one-half to two-thirds r a full crop, aad this shortage amounts to more gallons of oil than the total oil crop.' The condition of eVety crop in every country, should warrant cotton oil woith . fully double its present price; war rant the mills in paying at least fifty per cent higher prices for seed. But the miUt cannot pay mote for coimmiac on sacra raoa. JUDGE PARKER'S LETTER Says Flatly That if Elected He Will Re voke the Pension Order.

Next month, beginning October 26th, he will make a num ber of political speeches in Indiana, New Jersey and New York. The following appointments of Senator Simmona were given out at the Democratic headquarters today: On October 4th he speaka at Monroe; October loth at Morgan town, October 15th at Concord; October 29th at Troy. The people of these sections will look forward with interest to these appointments and it may be well predicted that the issues of the day will lie ably dealt wi.lh by the Senator. , D. H. Senter has issued a call to the Populists oi Harnett county to assemble in convention at Lilling ton September the 14th. Some of the Populists have already gone in to the Republican party and accep ted nominations at their county convention, and we cannot see how any true Populist who acta from principle, can emlo se such a can didate. We are glad to hear of many good men who have gone off into the Populist party for reform and thought they would find the things sought, have at last opened theii eyes and found where their leaders were drifting, body and soul, intu the Republican campaign and all good men are denouncing the leaders and say they will no) be le«d into the Republican party. Many of them will vote the Dem ocratic tieket in the approaching election. ' AS TO "SACK WABS.'' The white men, the Northern and Western white men generally, who practice social equality with ne groes and then raise the "race is sue'' cry when they become involv \ ed in a physical tight with their black skin companions, are not en titled to the sympathy of any self respecting white man, especially in the South A good thrashing by the black est ne„ro in his bunch of associ ates is just what the average so called "white" man of this charac ter deserves. Deieut society can well spare a great deal of this kind of refuse and be all the better for the process of elimination. The terming of the row a few days ago between a lot of white and black hoodlums near Cairo. 111., a "race war' is going a bow shot or two bow shots too far. It was nothing less than a dis graceful tight brought on between the mixed participants in a game of' craps'*—a negro game all the way through—and which the ne gr es got the best of, as a matter of cours -. It is hoped that each negro in the scrap had the satisfaction of licking at least one of his so-called white associates in the game. YOUNG Mill IN POLITICS. Should young meu engage in politics? Should our business men take a deeper interest In the selec tion of public officials? These are the questions which touch the safe ty of our civil liberty. We do not believe that it is advantageous to a .bright and meritorious young man to engage in politi. s as a pio fession—but our country needs the services of the strongest and best young men that we have—men who are honest and capable, and who cannot be biased by sordid gain or selfish ambition. It is not only a duty which every man owes to his country to take a limited personal interest in politics, but it is almost a crime for our good cit- izens to neglect their duty of at tending e|l the primaries and regis tering there their honeet convic tions. We sometimes hear a man say: "I never attend the prima ries or political conventions be cause politics is too corrupt for me." If politics is corrupt it is be cause the good men in the commu nity have neglected their duty and should censure themselves most for the state of things which exists. Their consciences should smite them when they indulge in re marks like the above and a little reflection would show them that it they were willing to make some few personal sacrifices for the gen eral good, there would be a vast improvement in our public service It would aid our public officers in a better performance of their du ties, and they could give us more efficient service, and would remove much of the friction which often mars the happiness and destroys in a measure the usefulness of our public officials. We frequently hear complaints of our board of alderman and othei public servants. We are not criti cising the board and we are not apologising for it. But did it ever occurr to us, as citizens of Raleigh, that we are not responsible for the men who represent us on the board? We believe there are good men on the board, but we know it is a difficult matter to get a good man to consent to run for alder man, because the position of al derman is a very difficult one to fill, even with a small degree of satisfaction. If an alderman per forms his duty in accord with hit honest convictions, and obtain* good r suits for the general welfare of his is sure to run bias to the views of some one, and he is at once accused of being either arbi trary, ignorant or dishonest If he is active and energetic there are some unkind critics who say that he is trying to run the town. If he is silent and takes but little inter est in the proceedings of the board, these same critics will say that he is a drone and don't amount to anything We are inclined to think that public officers are as good and often better than public sentiment deserves, and if we want better public servants we must educate the people up to a higher plane of public sentiment. THE A. a N. C. R. K. The final decision of the court in the matter was that the receiver ship be vacated, this leaving the case in force and the lessee in charge, with the court costs, am mounting in all to some S4OO to fjoo, to be paid by the defendant railroad company, this to be effect ive when the appeal to the circuit court of appeals in Richmond be withdrawn. The Cuyler plaintiffs were given the right to amend their bill of complain tas to acts complain ed of as ultra vires, such as the wood and oil contract and the pur chase of the hotel, while their de mand for allowances for clients and attorney's fees was held up till the litigation comes to an end or all (he matter is in shape for the discretion of the court. The effect of the decision is that it makes certain that there will be no more litigation in the case as to the validity of the lease. jvoos pubnill's decision. The appal in this case could on ly be taken from an order appoint- j ing a receiver and the case for the other purpose remain in this court. The appeal is pending here and court could proceed under statute to grant any order it might see proper. This order being appealed from the case is in the court of ap peals and a proposition has been I IF YOU WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO INCREASE ADVERTISE FOR CUSTOMERS WHOLE NO. a6o AtUTmOFHUUH &«KlN» POWDER Abaolutafy Pure HASMOSi/Bsnnm tendered by appellant to withdraw the appeal under Rule ao of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The ap pellant proposes to withdraw the appeal when the court meets. The court repeats as stated on May »Bth orally and afterwards incorporated in an order that this court has no power to make a lease. It can forbid one, but can not make one. The court said in reply to Judge Womack, who asked for a writ of supercede** for sixty days, that the court had ho power to prevent the directors from meet in d making a lease. That was an oral instruction construing that or der. The court meant it then and did not hesitate to put it in the shape of an order afterwards. The making of a lease means more than a mere paper. It means that the directors and stock holders of the A. & N. C. might do whatever was necessary to be done to com plete the lease. Therefore the court, understanding what had been done, and the intent of it, if the question of contempt had been brought before him would rule that the parties were not in con tempt in delivering the property. This court, having no authority to make a lease I think the power to investigate this lease, as presented to the court, is also lacking. It must take the lease as having been nade in good faith. It must take it that the Governor and directors have thoroughly investigated the matter and this court has nothing to do «ith the responsibility of the lease. The court has heard no ob jection to the lease; in fact, some of the counsel expressly endorse it and consider the same a good lease, and t)>is course will consider it as the basis of a motion made by Mrs. Florence P. Tucker and the other defendants. The appoint ment of a receiver is largely a mat ter within the discretion of the court, and that being so, the court controls at all times the receiver. In this phase of the case the in junction not being appealed from the court, will modify the injunc tion and enter an order to that ef fect in accordance with the pro visions as embodied in the nunc pro tune order of July 17th and continue the injunction as to the acts ultra vires if the complaint ants so desire. The order appoint ing receivers will be vacated on the appeal being withdrawn, of course the order to be effective on the withdrawal of the appeal. The order will be retained with permis sion to the complainant to amend the same as they see fit in this re spect, the defendent to pay the costs of the litigation up to the present time. As to allowances, this is not in a condition at the present time for the court to exer cise its discretion and the court therefore declines to consider this question, but reserves its decision until the litigation shall be termina nated or in such a condition as to present it to the discretion of the court, and a formal order embody ing these rulings will be entered. The formal order will be drawn today and on the withdrawal of the appeal from the circuit court the receivership will be vacated. LLEWXAM. M. W.
