FiUDAT 4 M0KKIV8, July -t 2& AHEGLECTED FIELD. - There is much.talk these days of expansion, expansion; with a view to extending our trade in Asia, across seven thousand miles of - ocean, and where we will be confronted by com petitioa from nearly every Euro- 7 pean country, one of which, Eussia, is now and has for some time been " 8haping her course to secure the Vantage ground for that trade. With European competitors we will also : have to compete with Japan, the ;" "Yankee'' nation of the East, which has learned many tricks of trade from us. . Most apt scKblars the Japanese have been, so apt that they can successfully imitate almost anything made in this, country and compete with us in the selling price. To state it -briefly we : will . have the world to compete with, in Asia, while there is very 3 little in Asia that we want in the way of trade. China's tea and silk is about ' all we want from her, and about all China wants from us is some of the coarser grades of cotton goods, in the sale of which we will have to compete with both Eussia and Japan, who will ultimately control the bulk of that trade. China doesn't want any of our .machinery, or manufac tures of iron or wood, for which she at present has little use, and for which she may not have much use ' for a long time to come. And then, again, China will her self become a manufacturer of much of the cotton goods "she needs, and jnay for this purpose become a pur chaser of American cotton spinning and weaving machinery, but every machine that is introduced in that country will decrease to the extent of the productive capacity of that machine the importation of cotton goods from other countries, and while we may make a profit on such machinery sold to her the result will be a decrease in the quantity of our cotton goods sent to that coun trynot for. one year, but for all the years to come. These are some of the factors to be considered when talking about the "open door" in China and the prospective trade that is to grow out of it. Exaggerated hopes are probably built on the large population of China, without ponsidering the char acter of the population, its wants or tastes or its capacity to buy. Of the immense numbers of people there the majority are pinchingly poor, and it is only the smaller number - yfap-&rg.afete utll.!Lghai!?r'jifr, profit in. Necessity has compelled even the reasonably well-to-do to practice the most rigid economy, and therefore the traders who sell them goods must do it at the rock bottom prices and at the smallest possible profit. As we see it, there cannot be much fascination for the American trader in dealing with a nation like that, no matter how numerously populated it may be. And there is little prospect of bet- A total of $40,647,756 worth of exports to countries containing an ag gregate of 50,000,000 or - 60,000,000 of people, not a dollar per capita, and only about . one-ninth of. the total imports, the other eight-ninths being furnished by European countries which have to ship across three thousand miles of ocean. We buy from Brazil yearly about $80,000,000 worth of coffee, over six times as much in value as we sell to her, and twice as much as we sell to all the countries! combined South of us, ex cept Mexico. Argentine, a great wheat and cattle raising country, imports annually $117,000,000 worth of goods, and about $9,500,000 of these imports comes from this coun try. W e have a practically prohib itive tariff against Argentina wheat and Argentine hides. Other coun tries supply $108,000,000 worth of the goods that Argentina imports and over $90,000,000 worth of the goods that .Brazil imports. Isn't th? $354,000,000 of trade of these . countries worth . struggling for? and is it to our credit that European 'traders haYe captured $314,000,000 of it leaving only $40,647,766 to" us? Of course we could not hope to secure it all, but isn't that a field, and one that will constantly grow, to invite American enterprise and pluck? China can't hold a candle to it. Mrs. Tinker, the rich breweress of St. Louis, seems to be " hoodooed when she leaves' that town. Last year she went to summer at Spring Lake, K. J.,! and" she had hardly taken quarters in the hotel when it took fire and; burned down. This year she went to another place and had the same hot luck.- Then she went 'to ABbury Park and got robbed of $1,500N worth of diamonds. But then a person with a name like that should not expect to pass through life without encountering some dis agreeable incidents. SPIRITS TURPENTINE A prehistoric city has been dis covered in New Mexico 'which is supposed to ante-date the Aztecs. Two "palaces," model' structures, have been discovered, one contain ing a thousand apartments and the other five hundred, in a fine state of preservation, as were a number of relics found within them. We know mighty little of the past of this con tinent upon which we live.

'It is all well enough to look to the East and get all we can out of it, but a better and a wiser thing to . do would be tox look to the South . and cultivate the increasing popula--tions of those countries in which ' we have made but little progre ss, and in which we have shown an amazing lack of interest and method.

We have not had much trouble in making grass grow in North Caro lina this year, but there are some sections of the country, and of the South, where they have had a good deal of trouble, and didn't get the grass then. Next year it may be different and instead-of spending their time trying to kill grass our farmers may be nursing it as care f ally as as they can. In view of this fact we clip the following from the Augusta. Chronicle, which takes it from a report on the value of Ber muda grass by Prof. S. M. Tracey, an agricultural expert, who says: "I have been over a large portion of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, the region where the drought has been most severe, and I find the Bermuda pastures the only ones which are able to furnish forage after six weeks of scorching sun. In fact, this drought resisting characteristic of the Bermuda constitutes one of its chief values in all regions subject to severe Summer drought It : is the foundation of every really good pasture throughout the entire Gulf States region. "It is. essentially a rich land grass, and nowhere in the world does it sue eeed better than on the black prairie region of northeast Mississippi, the creek and river bottom lands in the central part of the State, and on the moist alluvial lands of the delta. In careful feeding tests made at the State experiment station, Bermuda was found to be about 8 per cent more valuable than the best timothy hay for both mules and cattle. Its yield ex ceeds that of any other grass making hay of equally good quality, and its thrifty, growth, where properly care couu&etf. .changed many Mississippi of mules. ' - "The rapidly-growing appreciation of its value is doing more than anv other one thing to develop the live stock industry of the 8tate. The Ber muda fields of Mississippi will soon rival the famous blue grass regions of Kentucky." ! We have heard of this grass being cultivated in ihis State, but with what succesff we do not know. But it seems to us that it grows so well on the alluvial lands of Mississippi or Alabama,; it ought to thrive on the bottom lands of North Carolina where other grasses flourish. There is no question as to clover, timothy, alfalfa and other crosses on thoaa lands, but if Bermuda is such proof against dry" weather it is worth giv ing attention to. Associate Justice Brewer, o. the U. S. Supreme Court, expressed the conviction in an address at Milwau kee that the day is coming when war will be no more and universal peace reign "as surely as a Supreme Being rules over the destinies of nations." We would' like to agree- with him, but we can't. There will be univer sal peace when there is nothing more to conquer or to steal. It will not come until men are all dead or made over, and a good deal different from the average mortal that now walks the earth or sails the seas. It is said that there are more criminals in Scotland in proportion to population than in any other part of the United Kingdom. Last' year the convicted numbered 1,386 to 100.000 of population against 581 for England. This is attributed to the quality of Scotch whiskey im bibed, which contains a large per centage of deyiltry.

Raleigh News 'and Observer: Tuesday six convicts were taken to the State farm at Tillery where they are to work in the mattress factory. Among these was Major Martin. He had on the regulation prison suit, but wore a black slough hat and had on , easy shoes.

"One of the curious business customs here." says a City of Mexico correspond ent of the Boston Herald, "is that f paying for things on the 'abono,' or in stallment, plan. The groat shops carry tens of thousands of accounts, which are always being added to by fresh charges and as continually: being decreased by the payment of the monthly 'abonos.' Prom your cradle to your coffin you can,. If yon have any sort of credit, through life on the installment plan. I his is a city full of government employees, like Washington, and they live, move and have their being on the installment prih ciple.v They pay their re.n or board monthly and hand in a certain amount to their tailor, shoemaker, haberdasher, jew cler. etc If they are married men. their wives call around to the dry goods shops monthly and make a payment. It is -a custom so universal that women of the hishest social rank have passbooks at the big dry goods shops and send their in stallments In every 30 days."

The opinion has prevailed that this country as a producer of cotton has they are, or claim to be, American citizens. It was hardly, worth while, under the circumstances, for our State Department to make an appeal for clemency in these cases; but it has come to be the custom to at least present the grievance of every alleged American against the Brit ish Government, and the harmless practice is kept up, in spite of re peated snubbings and rebuffs. Philadelphia Telegraph, Rep. 'The pay of the American soldiers, " says the Rochester, N. Y., neraia, "is aoout isu per year, and his rations comes to about $110 more. If we call these two items of pay and food $300, and deduct this sum from the $1,014, which he an nually costs his Goyernment, we have left $714 per man, which must go for other items. Hence the American soldier costs his Govern ment, for certain uneiplainable and unascertainablq items, nearly five times as much as the total expense of maintenance of the Russian, and three and one-half times, as much as the German.

We have learned not only that there is a large area in Southern Siberia adapted to the culture of cotton, of a quality equal to the cotton produced in this coun try, but that the area of culture and the production is rapidly increasing, the product having almost doubled in four jearsj and now furnishing nearly enough to supply the mills of Russia. The: Government is taking much interest in the subject and is doing all it can to encourage the cul- tivation or cotton. It is no longer doubtful that the American cotton grower, as well as the American cot ton manufacturer,' is to find a formi dable competitor on that side of the globe in the Russian cotton grower and cotton manufacturer. But coming nearer home the re ports of consuls in Brazil state that there is a larger area of that coun try, equal in extent to the araa in this country, as well adapted" to the culture of cotton as is the cotton belt of 5 this country. The soil is rich and the climatic conditions about the game.- If this be soit ia needless to say that cotton growing some day, and probably in the near future will become an important in dustry of that country where it will be taken hold of by, foreigners, and by wealthy natives as wheat grow ing has been in Argentina. Inview of these facts while the . Southern cotton grower may have nothing to fear at present, it would be prudent on hi part to prepare ,-for' future contingencies by .: pntting himself In . a position to : jraefit them :and adopt diversified "farming before ji Inquiry.
