'COTTON PLUS CATTLE.
The government is quite active In
holding out to the (South the Induce
ment to further diversify its farm op
portunities by ' raising cattle , and.
stock. The government foresees a
greater meat problem than that which
rnnfrnnfs this country at this ' time, i Norfolk Southern on Monday. It left and how cood it; is! Take ; a great
-ri noTrT, f Acrrionltiirfi is "Ralpierh at 7:30 A. M and arrivfid in Spoonful of ..1th and it twangs the
laying particular emphasis
time upon the Nation's dependence
upon the South to solve the meat
problem and a recent bulletin from the
Department upon this line is general
ly being commented upon by the
Southern press. In an editorial on
the subject the Atlanta Journal says:
"The South, we are told, is the on
ly section where . cattle can still be
raised, fed and sold at a profit that
wil 1 be satisfactory to the producer
and at the same time leave the price
to the consumer reasonably low. This
is a fact upon which the Soutb's agri
cultural leaders have long been insist
ing and which, there is reason to be
lieve, is at length being realized1 by
our fanners."
'," The Department ought to find it an
easy matter to convince the South of
its peculiar adaptability for raising
cattle and stock. It is a subject that
affects North Carolina as much as it
does Georgia, but we do not. urge that
the cattle industry should be built, up
in the South with a special "view to
lower prices, but because prices are
sa remunerative that it would be ex
ceedingly profitable when conducted
in the right way. Besides, it would
make the South independent as to its
own meat supply, first of all. Further
commenting upon the possibilities of
this industry in the South our valued
Atlanta contemporary says:
"Natural conditions in the South
reduce to a minimum the cost of cat
tle raising. There are no long, hard
Winters with their, heavy expense for
feeding and housing. There are thous
ands of acres of idle land . affording
excellent pasturage. ,The grasses and
forage indigenous to our soil remove
the necessity of using the more costly
grains "as livestock food. - It has - been
demonstrated furthermore that with
proper methods the sturdiest and fin
est cattle in the country can be bred
in the South. .It only remains for the
(Southern farmer to seize the oppor
tunity that is so easily within his
reach. He can make cattle raising
profitable with established agricultur
al pursuits. Indeed, the production of
live stock will serve to enrich and
upbuild all .other interests of the
farm." , . i:.
When we get down to business in
considering the cattle industry, we
will find out that we cannot depend
upon the idea that "there are thous
ands of acres of idle lands affording
excellent pasturage." Of course,
there are grasses and forage indige
nous to our soil, but cultivated pas
tures beat everything in the way of a
range, either in the South or the
West. We will have to raise cattle
and produce the feed that is neces
sary to maintain as well as fatten
them. We can raise cotton as well,
for the seed products are the best of
all cattle feeds.
We will have to take as our exam
ple the big Rankin stock farm near
Tarkio, Mo. It contains 23,000 -acres
of land, of which 14,000 are in cultiva
tion. Its products last year were or
dinary farm crops as raw "materials
and 'cattle horses and mules as finish
ed products. The crops were raised
fo ' carry on the,: stock and Rattle- In
dustry. The products were turned in
to cattle "and stock. The profits on
that farm last year amounted to
$100,000. If dependence had been put
in ranges, the stock and catle indus
try would have been a failure. Feed-
stuffs cannot be bought to sustain
at this Charlotte at I P. M., so we see that : i 1 "A "T1 Viii""

ana tane ainner in. me otner. . froDa
bly the most significant circumstance
about the opening of the new line is
ll l timm
that it gives Charlotte direct rail con
nection with the port of Norfolk. With
direct rail connection with the port of
Wilmington, over the Seaboard Air
Line, it is reasonable to suppose that
sooner or later Charlotte will receive
a great benefit from her connection
with' two South Atlantic ports on
straight rail haul.
- STATE SECTIONALISM.
One of the curious things of the
effete past was downright sectionalism
in different localities in the individua
States, for instance, in South Caro
lina in particular, not to mention
North Carolina specially at this time
We -refer to South Carolina now, be
cause Editor W. Wr Ball, of the Co
lumbia State, was in Charleston last
(Saturday evening discussing this ques
tion before the St. Andrew's Society,
The Charleston Post refers to Mr
Ball's address as "one of the most ad
mir able and striking utterances heard
in Charleston in a long time." Be
sides its fine form, says the Charleston
paper, the speech had two notable
features. To one of them, The Post
refers editorially as follows :
"It was an. unusually keen and com
prehensive analysis of the relations
existing between tms community ana
the rest of the State, of which much
has been said and more thought for
many years, and it evidenced an opti
mism as to the near future: of condi
tions in the State that was refresh
ing and may be taken as encouraging.
As to the first point, the: differences
between the points of view of the.peo'
pie of Charleston and those' of .the
jState in general, the definition and
description made by Mr. . Ball could
scarcely be bettered, either in fidelity
or in spirit. It ;is a true picture drawn;
with' sympathy and understanding.
Our own opinion of tne matter which
Is hardly important in this connec
tion is that the question has passed,
or' is rapidly passing,, beyond the
sphere of practical or even serious
concern, though at :one time it was
Very real and merited more intelligent
consideration tnan, in tnat time,
received."
The fact is that some years ago,
there may as well have been a gulf
between Charleston and the up-country.
Prejudice was mutual, but the
fact that it is disappearing, and is
bound to be obliterated, shows that
Intelligence is broadening. Charles
ton is seeing opportunities in the once
despised "rural districts" and the rap
idly developing up-country is begin
ning to realize ..'that the port of
Charleston is an asset for the whole
State. Sectionalism" in the State was
such at one time that' The Post calls
it "a State problem." Just how great
ly it' retarded development of the
State will never be known. ' ; s
trejuaice oetween -v. sections or a
state was -the result of provincialism.
It Isv evidence'. of. provincialism. How
eyerv railroacf development has built
up a: community of interests, and com
mercial opportunities are bringing all
sections of the State Into closer touch.
It; is a new era for either South Caro
lina or North Carolina when their de
velopment reaches a stage that preju-
cattle and stock, but it can be raised ' dice betwe"e"n its sections disappears
cheanpr and ?rTin7 -nvidd ttn that i uiareu oi progress.
success can be achieved even on a
small scale. Farming and cattle rais-
ng must be done together to gain
success like that which has been dem
onstrated by the Rankins in Missouri.
ROGRESS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
During the year that is rapidly ap
proaching its end," progress has been
marked in every section of North Car
olina. One railroad system has ex
tended its line for a distance of 156
miles entirely within the State, sev
eral new railroads are now under con
struction, and all the railroad systems
have spent . millions for betterments.
All the new lines open resourceful
territory, so ' that during the coming
year undeveloped, sections will have
opportunities which they never had
before. It is pretty safe to say that
not less than 4,000 square miles of
North Carolina territory will have
transportation j advantages that it
never had before. That alone is bound
to bring about a . wonderful develop
ment, and yet we must count upon the
renewed energy of the people in such
territory , and the availability of re
sources which heretofore lacked the
means of being utilized.
As the year is about to close Ra-
eigh and Charlotte are rejoicing that
they have been linked together by a
new railroad. Less than three years
ago the Norfolk Southern system ac
quired several short lines in the cen
tral part of the State, practically re
built them, constructed new lines and
linked them up, into a division Extend
ing 156 miles between the. State capi
tal and the manufacturing city of
Charlotte, the largest ' city in the
State; It is . not necessary to conjure
up the advantages which this connec
tion will give those twa cities, but
imagine what it will be to the old
towns and the new towns along that
56 miles of new railroad. " , .
This extension ; will not only in-'
crease the importance of the Norfolk
Southern, but it will , put new life in
the territory which it . will connect
with two of the State's most important
commercial centers. : It is a' rich ter
ritory, and it is quite ' natural that
Charlotte and Raleigh should see neyr
opportunities in it for them. It also
means something for Wilmington- and
every other distributing and producing
center in the State, for there are
bound to be opportunities there for
enterprising business men who push
into a new territory that can now be
reached without going almost half
around the State to even get in reach
of it. . It means much to the State as
a whole, Tor its railroad mileage will
be increased ' and values expanded -ac
cordingly at all points along the line.;
The first regular train between ta-
eiga and Charlotte was run by the
If there fs any sectional prejudice
in North . Carolina it ought to be ob
literated. It can be done when the
sections begin to know each other. By
getting in closer touch, the people
begin to know their State and appre
ciate the fact that each is a potential
part in the. making. of a State.
HE RAISED STAPLE CROPS.
The Savannah Morning News com
ments upon the remarkable fact that
Mr. T. J. Parker, a Tift county farm
er, has made ?3,000 -profit on a two
horse farm. The most notable part of
it is that he planted only staple crops.
He cut out cotton, which is itself a
staple, but his real success laid in
the fact that he raised a variety of
products for which there is a ready de
mand.
The Georgia farmer is a valuable
demonstrator for the South.- He has
proven what can be done, and has suc
ceeded in a most remarkable manner,
where one-crop farmers are lucky if
they get out even with their farm
operations. A change in farming is
necessary for the prosperity of agri
culture in the South.
CURRENT COMMENT.
If Wilmington and - Newbern are
paying higher rates than other North
Carolina towns they have a just kick
coming. Durham Herald.
Within ; a week, according to The
Metropolis, the Jacksonville Whole
sale Grocers'. Association will- sign a
contract with ship owners which will
assure direct passenger and freight
transportation by . water -to and from
Philadelphia. This is to be an inde
pendent line and produce lower rates.
Without prejudice to any other pro
ject, Wilmington might get in on it.
Charlotte Observer.
Fayetteville has waked to the ad
vantages of offering a .market for to
bacco and encouraging the raising of
tobacco. Lumberton is going- to be
among the tobacco markets next year,
too. - Nothing definite has been done
yet, but some of the wide-awake busi-:
ness men of the. town are determined
to. have a warehouse here before, the
next tobacco season and buyers, and
they will. And that will help that
much in breaking up a the one-crop
habit. Nearly every Robeson county
farmer could raise some tobacco with
out reducing much his eottbn acreage.

According to the Agriculture . De
partment, at Washington,' cornmeal
constitutes . a very nutritive and cheap
food. In fact for three cents one can
get . more nutriment out of 'cornmeal
than he can out of five cents worth
of flour. That is, 60 cents worth of
meal will give a man more bone
muscle, nerve and brain than $1 worth
of flour will. That is the commercial
aspect of the case, but for joy, satis
faction, health and hope the cornmeal

economic estimate. . A good bowl of

Greensboro Hotel Man Makes Urgent
Request of Officials.
(Special Star Correspondence.)'
Greensboro, N. C," Dec. 2. Mr. A.
H. Galloway, president of the Guil
ford Hotel Company, has written a
letter to the city officials asking for
an investigation of the botels of
Greensboro with regard to whiskey
selling. The letter is as follows:
"In view of the fact that a negro
boy has just been convicted of selling
liquor in the basement of a local-hotel
(which hotel happened to be the Guil
ford) and also in view of the recent
investigations and disclosures made
in another city, it seems to me that,
an investigation o f the hotels of
Greensboro is properly in order, and
I desire in behalf of this company to
invite an immediate investigation. We
will make a. liberal donation to help
defray the "expenses of an audit of
the records of the railroad and express
companies. We want the public to
know the truth, so far as this hotel is
concerned."
