Tha bullying of poor old un armed China, resulting; not only In tha vessel's release with humble apoto gies but the payment of an Indem nity, is an Incident of tha last few weeks. Now merchants and people throughout; the empire are lending; themselves to an anti-Japanese boyi eott agitation -far- more formidable than ever the anti-American agitation became. It Is proposed Jo keep the boycott In force until a looa of JIBO, 000.000 gold has been Inflicted upon Japanese commerce. In Canton atone the boycott leaders have under their command seventy-two' guilds, com prising all classes of the population. Much enthusiasm characterises the movement everywhere. The Chinese people are thus waging the only kind of effective war they can at present wajre against an armed foe a war of passive economic resistance. Japan has unquestionably brought down serious trouble upon herself. A Strang Chinese boycott movement such as could only annoy .and Inflict very limited Injury upon the United States presents grave possibilities for tha Island empire. Next 'to the United States. China Is Japan's largest cus tomer, and the present Japanese state of extreme financial and industrial dere pression renders continued hold on the Chinese market apparently Indls penHttble for averting temporary break-down as a power among the nations..

But unless the Islanders apologize In their turn and adopt a conciliatory tone toward the Chinese people Instead of seeking to quell the boycott, aa at present, by more Intimidation of '.he Chinese gov ernment, thing? will go hard with them. The bullying seemed cheap enough at first, but It Is rapidly turn ing out to be very expensive Indeed.

Sets Fprth Strong and F - tent Reasons Why Such a - Law Should Be Enacted By the Learlsla ' tare Counties Which Have This ' Very Desirable Law Are the Suffer. '(era Because it ia Not on the State's Statute ISooka. - . , . .. . .i To tba Editor of Th Observer:' 1 ' Pardon me for calling the attention of tha farmers and well-wishers of th progress of our St ta th Import ance ef th stock or no fence law, aa It will aoon be time to begin to mak lection for our Representativea. Our Stat will be advanced or retarded just In proportion to the class &t men whom w aend to represent na If we are wise in making our selections w will prosper in proportion. If we leave this important matter to the rlngatera and peanut politicians, w win suffer as we have in the past. What w need ia men who are hon est, and will dare to do their duty and there ia nothing that they can do to advance the Interest of our State more than to give ua a stock or no- fence law for th entire State. It Is a well-known fact that the scrubby cattl. and the plney woods rooter In those counties which they are permit ted to run at larg do not bring in revenue enough to their , owners to pay for keeping up their fenoe around their farms to aay nothing ef tne timber, the young forest that la destroyed. Besldea when they are ready to fatten It la worth one of them to get It ao it can be put upon the market; then they bring the low est Drlce. . ' You will not find any milk and but ter In th territory where the stock Is permitted to run at large and with few exception you will And that th -caiied farmers rarely mak enough meat for their own use, wahlle rev will find In th aectlon where they have a stock law, almost every farmer with his one or two selected cows, well sup plied with milk and butter, his hog in hla pasture or lot keeping; fat on aa little aa It would take to keep them from dying If they were allowed to run in the woods The former with out disease, the latter the distributors of disease, destroying his neighbors' stock without reward or profit to hts owner. One of the greatest drawbacks we are confronted, with to-day is secur ing the beat Immigrants from the Northwest and Is our present mode of letting our' stock . run at large. I have had aome of the beat farmers to aay that they would not have a farm at any price where the stock la permit ted to run at large, aa the expense of keeping up his fences and wast of timber with his stock liable to catch disease from those running at largs made the expense too great for farm ing to be profitable. It Is only an Imaginary evil in tha thoughts of those Who think It would work a hardship upon the poor man. ToproT this let any of thos who doubt it go Into a territory where they havs th stock' law and see If they can And any one who would go back to the old style of letting the atock run' at large and I am sure they will be convinced that it la all Imagination when they thoroughly Investigate for themaelvea. If we are given the no-fence law. In ten yeara you will see all ef our waste places In the sandy belt of our Stat with a growth of long leaf pin that will be capable of producing tur pentine and roaln by the patent box. system that would bring the owner more revenue each year than th land would bring to-day upon th market Besides it will restore our seasons which are becoming a serious problem owing to the fact that It Is either too 'wet or too dry, caused by tn destruction or tne forest by care less tlmbermen, often followed by fir for the benefit of a few cattle that are not worth what la destroyed by such abus on a few acres of land. Then come ..the plney woods rooter to nip In the bud as well as root up and eat the tap foot of the young pine which completely destroy It . Aa It la at present those counties that have the no-fence law are dis criminated against and are put to ex pense to keep up ihe fence between adjoining counties and If they wish to ship out any beef cattle they have to overcome opposition beoanes they1 com from a section where the atock la permitted to run at large and to avoid this discrimination It la to every countx'a. Interest In. the State to work for a general no-fence law throughout the entire length and breadth of North Carolina. -, . B. F. JCETTH.
