For many years it has been the
custom of Southern farmers to
make their crop upon the "ad
vance system" and while this has
been regarded as an economic er
ror on the side of the farmer, by
many merchants it has been
thought that it was a very pro
fitable way of buying cotton.
The farmer realized that as a
matter of safety it was. better to
make the food consumed by his
family and his stock upon the
farm rather than to purchase it
and especially when he had to
promise payment out of a crop
which had not as yet been made. I
have been, watching this phase of
country life in the South for many
years and have come to the con
elusion that the "advance sys
tem" is just as great a mistake
orr- the part of the merchant as
it is on the part of the farmer,
for the following reasons:
First, the merchant takes great
risks, which, of course, he tries
to cover by increased charges,
But even though these charges
are increased, the staples of life
are not such articles as a high
percentage of profit will adhere
to, and the merchant is practic
ally trading gold for a promise to
pay. it the crop tails, he is
obliged to carry and carry and
carry and possibly may ultimate
ly, as in thousands of cases, be
obliged to take the farm, for
which he has no use, and under
boll weevil conditions is difficult
to handle profitably upon a ten
ant system.
Under a cash system there will
be a great reduction in the sales
of some staple foods such as ba
con, potatoes, beans, lard, vege
tables, canned goods, hay, corn,
etc., -all articles that carry low
profits. The farmer is rarely
hoarder of money and if he saves
two hundred dollars or more by
producing all his food supplies at
home he has that much more to
spend when nis crop its made, and
it is cash.
Under a cash system the farm
er will buy with his surplus more
dry goods, clothing, shoes, furn
iture, etc., for his family, better
teams, farm implements, wag
ons, buggies, etc., on which there
is a much greater profit for the

his money in thirty days, instead
of a year. Ten per cent clear

than 120 per cent gain received
annually. Some of the farmers
increased income goes into per

Again, tnere is sometnmg
about raising cotton, tobacco,
etc., to pay a debt, that saps the
vitality of the farmer and affects
the quality of his tillage. It real
ly lowers the grade of farming.
If upon the other hand the mer
chants will join with us in urg
ing tarmers to raise all their food
supplies and try to produce by
better tillage double the crop per
acre they now produce, the re
suit as it affects the merchant
will be this:
All business will soon be on a
cash basis and the volume will
be three or four times as large
from the farmers alone. The ad
vent of more money will bring
diversified industries among the
farmers and eventually will at
tract manufactures to the market
towns.

ers who know the country and
are loyal to it, to universally
adopt the following plan: First.
provide their own food supplies
from the larm. Second, double
the acreage product on every
acre under cultivation and let
each worker on the farm by the
use of better teams and tools, till
three times as many acres as at
present, not in the one crop but
in a variety of diversified and
profitable crops. This would
cause an immediate demand for
more land and would provide the
money to pay for it. This makes
every man on the farm more than
six times the industrial power he
now is and gives him a love ot
the farm. This is better than to
leave him in discouragement and
secure immigrants to come and
buy him out.
I should not speak so positive

quarter of a century that where
the Southern merchants have

Everything Indicates That Trust
Legislation Will be a Bone of
Contention Lack of Leaders.
Radish Staff Cor. Charlotte Observer, 10th.
Trust legislation, after all, will
i .1 i i j i
prove to De tne distinctive iea
ture and be the real bone of con
tention of the present General
Assembly. During the first few
days of the session opinion was
divided as to what should be
done in this particular matter.
Some said one thing and some
another; some argued for a brief
session and little legislation,
while others contended for a
session of sixty days and much
legislation, such as the party
platform called for. Glancing
backward as a result of the
week's work, the administration
leaders seem to have overborne
opposition, having elected a
Speaker and named committees;
and everything is now in such
shape that sixty days and much
legislation is assured. The talk,
from being scattered uncertain.
is now in the direction of trust
legislation, an impetus having
been given this matter within
the past few days. Sentiment,
however, is not t crystallized,
tor thera are many conservatives
yet to be heard from. A reflection
of this general attitude is shown
by the efforts of many to explain
their positions.
borne ot those who are so
anxious for the passage of
strong anti-trust measure one
that has teeth to it, they say
justify their course on the ground
oi party policy, citing the plank
of the party platform adopted
last June; while others base
their stand on the broad principle
of right and -justice to the State,
Those who say that the dominant
party should take action along
this line assert that this is i
critical time in the history o
JNorth Carolina Democracy and
that there is need of advanced
ground being taken. They argue
party expediency and say that a
strong anti-trust law would have
a salutary enect in encouraging
the faltering and winning votes
to the cause.
Those who contend for a strong
an ti-trust iaw on" the -basis o
justice cite tne grievances prac
ticed by monopolies and the need
of their rigid regulation. The
members of the Assembly, some
arguing one thing and others
another, between them are be
beginning to arouse considerable
interest. Then, too, the ad
ministration artillery is com.
mencing to open up, so much
so that by the time
the session gets well under way
the hue and cry promises to be
almost as vigorous as that two
years ago.
One grave difficulty will be
encountered, and that is the
want of leaders to direct the
crusade. The generals who so
energetically engineered the ag
itation at the last regular ses
sion were not returned. It may
be that this handicap of ex
perienced and capable leaders
and the generally prevailing sen
timent with the people for peace
and rest will prohibit anything
serious being done, but not if
those who are at present so vig
orously agitating the enterprise
can prevent it.

A DOWNPOUR OF SHOT.
Phenomenon Molt e n
Rain Falls.
. 6th.
Santa Cruz. Cal... Dispatch,
It rained hot bird shot at Santa
Cruz to-day for nearly an hour,
according to Mrs. W. H. Burns
and her neighbors. Some of the
shot have been preserved. Mrs.
curiosity was aroused by
the peculiar antics of a number
of barefoot children who were
playing in front of her house.
When she asked them what was
the matter, they told her that
the air was full of electricity and
that hot shot were falling from
the clouds.
She then heard a clatter on
the housetop that sounded like
hail, and she saw little white
threads of steam arising from
neighboring roofs. This steam
was found to be the result of
the dropping of little hot globules
on the dar.tp shingles.
This molten rain continued
from about 3 to 4 o'clock in the
afternoon and varied in inten
sity. At one time the children,
who were bareheaded and un
shod, were compelled to take to
cover. One boy carries a burn
on his finger where one of these
hot pellets struck him.
One theory to account for the
phenomenon is that the metallic
rain was due to a meteor. The
pellets are about the size of No.
8 shot and resembled lead.

little necessity for them until the
crop is actually ready for the
harvest, then trade becomes
cash transaction. Or better still,
the farmer can get his money
from the bank and pay cash in
all cases, if there is a lack of rea
dy money.
Theadvance system bearsdown
upon the cotton tarmer with
special' hardship. His crop is
either sold at once or is forced to
the gin and the warehouse so as to
secure loans. If the. cotton farm-
er is not iorcect to sell or raise
money or pay debts he will store
his crop on his farm and maket at
his leisure, which is m the inter
ests of all parties. i
It appears to me, therefore,
that the farmer will immeasura'
bly gain when he produces what
he has hitherto bought m the way
of living. He is not compelled
to sell his crop immediately upon
the harvest. When he does sel
he trades for cash. The greater
amount of money he has is very
helpful to the family but the
stimulus to his self respect is
perhaps the. most important
item to be considered. The mer
chant prospers by the greater
volume of 'business and by the
quick return of his money. It
seems to me that these points
should be urged upon all the peo
