Stick to the Farm.
I have no sympathy with the
unrest of our rural population.
We are upon the eve of radical
changes for the betterment of
country conditions. Today the
safeBt place for investment is the
farm. Laud values will increase
rapidly wih increasing popula
tion. They will more than double
in 30 years. Already the aban
doned farms of New York and
New England are being bought by
capitalists for investment. There
is many a man planning to sell
his paternal acres in the country
for a pitance and invest the pro
ceeds in a cottage in the town
and then earn the support of his
family by daily toil. It is the
act of an irrational man. He does
notstop to think thit that farm
will give him a home and a sup
port and soon quadruple in value.
He fails to note the possibilities
- of rapidly increasing his wealth
by the planting of valuable trees,
and he voluntarily exchanges the
rights of a king and the privileges
of a free-man for a daily wage
and the badge of service.
The prosperity of the cities, so
far as relates to the masses, is
illusory. The Bame class in the
citie, is as ten to one taking the
whole country in account. While
thie wage is higher in the cities,
the cpst of rent and living are in
proportion. The multiplied at
tractions induce a habit of liberal
spending, hot conducive to econo
my. The small farmer may care
less, but he can save more.- Dr.
Seaman A. Knapp.
Accidentally Shot.
On last Saturday several boys
of north Concord were out hunt
ing and among them were John
and Hugh Burrage, sons of J. M.
Burrage. They were going down
a hill. John in front of Hugh.
The latter vtas carrying a gun, and
his foot got in a root or some
thing, and he fell forward. His
gun was discharged by the fall, the
entire load entering his brother's
back. The hole penetrated the
edge of the kidneys and ranged
upwards, and this is all that saved
his life. A large hole was torn in
his backhand although the wound
is a very serious one, it is not
necessarily fatal, unless complica
: tions ensue. The boys were oh
their father's land near their
home. The wounded boy was car
ried home by his companions and
medical aid at once secured. VHe

Our Crops for 1908.
Seven crops of North Carolina,
corn, wheat, hay, tobacco, oats,
Irish potatoes and rye, had a val -ne
in 1908 of $68,256,000. This
indicates a large increase in agri
cultural production in the State,
but, as the-Manufacturers' Record
declares, is an exhibit of produc
tivity indicative-more of potenfci
ality than of actual results.
The total crop of corn, 50,166,
000 bushels, was considerably
above the average of the past ten
or twelve years. The value of the
crop of 1908 was $39,631,000.
Although it was not a first-rate
year for wheat in all the country,
the crop of 1908 was better than
that of 1907, being 5,680,000 bush
els, value $6,078,000.
There has been a notable in
crease in the growing of forage
crops, in Nortn uaronna ine nay
crop amounting to 262,000 tons,
valued at $3,537,000.
The tobacco crop amounted in
1908 to 134,000,000 pounds, whose
value was $14,070,000.
North Carolina produced in the
past ,year 3,300,000 bushels of
oats, valued at $2,079,000.
There is a constantly increasing
production of potatoes. In 1908
the crop amounted to 1,975,000
bnshels, value $1,521,000..
Although rye has never been
one of tX? largest crops inVthe
State, in 1008 it amounted to 125,
000 bnshels, value, $122,000.
More Trouble in Kentucky.
Miss Ethel RaDsom, aged twenty-five
years was killed and five
other persons injured two probably
fatally, as a result af a feud fight
on the streets of Williamston to
day. There has been bitter feeling for
a long time between the Lantern
and Ransom families and it led to
trouble when they met at a dance
given last night at the home of
West Barnes, two miles east of
Williamston. This trouble was
renewed on the street this morn
ing. Miss Ransom was killed by a
bullet, her brother Sidney was
shot below the heart and above
the eye and his recovery is boubt
ful, as is also that of Charles
Clark, who- was shot through the
lungs. Grover Clark suffered a'
broken collar bone. Thomas Tur
ner was beaten and Emmett Ho
man carries a bullet in his right
arm.
Grover 51 and George Lantern,
both of whom escaped serious in
jury, are in jail, Willimston,

What Will Cot'on Do?
Will the price of cotton stand
still, fall back or soar a little is
always the pertinent question
with the passing of the holidays,
and already the farmers and com
mercial men generally are casting
about for prospects as to what di
rection it will take with the com
ing of the year 1909, It is held
by many that the price must ad
vance during the first months of
the new year. The magnitute of
the reports on'the production
issued from time to time by the
ginners and showing, what seemed
to be a mammoth crop has mili
tated against' an upward tendency
of the market, but it is now gener
ally conceded that the ginning is
practically complete and hardly
more than 12,250,000 bales will
be the production of the season.
Otjer features of thie movement of
the crop so far must be taken ijoto
consideration in figuring on the
future prospects and these are said
to point to better prices. Wax

TO INCREASE THE TAX.
ftiunteer Firemen of the City Pass Res
olutions Here 6lien.
At a recent meeting of the fire
men of Salisbury, the following
resolutions were passed. A copy
of the resolutions has been sent to
President McNeill, of the State's
Firemen1 Association ' and to
Rowan's representatives in the
legislature :
Whereas, We have learned that
the Legislative Committee of the
State Firemen's Association has
decided to present to the present
session of the Legislature a re
quest to amend the "Act creating
a Firemen's Relief Fund," passed
by the Legislature of 1907, and
Whereas, We believe that the
increase of one-half of one per
centum to be asked for, in view of
the net earnings of the Insurance
Companies doing business in the
State, as appears from the report
of the Insurance Commissioner,
will impose on hardship no any
company, and
Whereas, We believe that the
.Volunteer Firemen, knowing, that
in the event they are injured
while in the discharge of duty,
will be safeguarded from want by
reason of the creation of such a
fund, will be stimulated to more
efficientervic . in their efforts to
protect the property of the citi
zens of the State and -thereby save
the Insurance Companies many
thousand 3ollars in losses, now
therefore S:r
Be it reguoved, by the Volunteer
Fire Department of the-City of
Salisbury that our repreentativf-s
in the Legislature bo respectfully
requested to give their influence
and support to and to use all hon
orable means to secure the pas
sage of an Amended Bill increas
ing the tax of one-half of one per
centum to one per centum, and
that the said tax shall be made to
apply not only to "Foreign In-
eurance Companies," as per Act
of 1907, but to "Domestic Com
panies" as well
Resolved, further, that a copy
of these resolutions be sent to
President NcNeil and one to each
of our representatives and that
the same be published in our city
papers.
Shot up Car for Fun.
"Babe" Horn, the negro who
laet evening shot up a trolley car
in the suburbs of Asheville and
put a bullet through the rim of
Conductor Roberson's cap, was
captured this morning at 1 o'clock
near Weaverville, ten miles from
the city. He had gone to bed and
was asleep when the officers ar
rived and surrounded the house.
The door was shoved open and a
flashlight thrown in his face. Un
der the negro's pillow was a loaded
revolver while standing at the
head of the bed "was a loaded shot
gun. He made no resistance.
Feeling ran high among the street
car men here for a time last night
and had the negro fallen into their
hands he would have been roughly
handled. Another negro-Will
Campbell, who was with Horn at
the time of the shooting, was al-
so arrested last night about mid-
night. He was armed and ac
cording to evidence obtained to
day also attempted toshoot the
conductor.
They were each held in $i,lo6
