Sugar will figure pretty exten sively when the reciprocity ques tiou comes up in Congress, for the Sugar Trust will be there with its lobbyists fighting for reciprocity with Cuba on the line of free raw sugar, and the beet sugar men will i be there with their lobbyists flght ing all reciprocity based on free sugar of any kind. It is easy to see through the programme of the Sugar Trust for it buys its crude sugar and if it can get that crude sugar from Cuba, for instance, free of duty it put upon the free list other conn tries which buy much more from ua than Cuba does might construe this as discriminating against them . and demand the same treatment for their sugar that we give the sugar of Cuba. If we made reciprocity treaties withany or all of these they would certainly try to include sugar, and if this were included it would practically open our ports to the world at such low rates as to deprive both the Sugar'Trust and the beet sugar makers of the protection they say is necessary to the preservation of these industries. This applies to a good many other things besides sugar, so that when they began to work on their reciprocity treaties and at the same time continue pro tection to the industries that ask for it they will encounter a good many troublsome obstacles. would be millions in its coffers, for it wouldn't give the sugar consum ers the benefit of that. If it suc ceeded in that it would also strike the beet sugar industry a crippling, if not Jatal, blow, for with free crude sugar from Cuba it could undersell the beet sugar manufacturers and thus remove its only competitor and . have the sugar business entirely in its own hands. I The only prospect the sugar con ; sumer would have for cheaper sugar ' would be by removing all duties from sugar, crude or refined. This would throw the markets open, en courage the importation and com petition and would give the con sumers the benefit of Cuban prices. But neither the Sugar Trust nor the sugar beet men are going to permit that if they can prevent it for it would destroy the monopoly of the former and possibly the industry of the latter, for home-made beet sugar could not compete with Cuban cane sugar. The sugar imported by this coun try annually amounts to $100,000, 000, in addition to what is produced at home. This includes the tariff duties on this sugar. In addition to the tariff the consumers pay on this imported sugar, they have to pay a corresponding amount on every pound of domestic sugar con sumed, whether it be produced from the cane or beet, or come from the refineries of the sugar Trust, which gets the benefit of the protective duties on every pound of sugar it - refines and sells, while it does noth ing whatever to encourage or stimulate the cultivation of either cane or beets. In this respect there is no comparison be tween it and the beet sugar man ufacturers, for they do encourage and stimulate the cultivation of beets by erecting plants for the manufacture of the sugar, and buy ing at a compensating price all the , beets the farmers raise. As be tween the two, if any favors are to be extended to either the beet sugar manufacturers are more entitled to consideration than the grasping ugar Trnst, which benefits only itself and is now making war upon the beet sugar makers, and in mak ing war upon them also makes war upon the beet growing industry, which has attained considerable proportions and become a source of prout to a good many farmers the btates where the beets grown. Ab we see it there is little proba bility of any material reduction in the tariff on sugar, and of reci procity with Cuba or any other sugar producing State depends upon that there will be no reciprocity, for be tween the Sugar Trust and the beet sugar manufacturers they will have strength enough in Congress to de feat any material reduction on sugar. But if any action were taken look ing to a reduction of duties it should embrace both the crude and refined sugars, and then neither the Snm Trust nor the beet sugar makers could complain of partiality to the other, and the public might possibly get some of the benefit, although this is very doubtful. To give the public the benefit of competition our ports should be- thrown open to sugar, to the sugar of the world, which would make it practically im possible for a few men to control the stock in market and the market, as can be done when the sugar of only certain territory is so admitted. Under reciprocity with Hawaii, sugar from those islands has been admitted free for twenty-five years. But Carl Spreckles, who owned large sugar plantations in the islands and had refineries in San Francisco, bought the bulk of the crop and thus controlled it, and having no competition on the Pacific kept the prices up as high or higher than they were on the At lantic side, -where the Sugar Trust had control of the business. Whether reciprocity with Harraii was of any commercial advantage to the country or not, it certainly was not in giving it cheaper sugar, for the only persons who were benefited by that were the sugar growers of Hawaii and the sugar manipulators - who bought and worked their sugar. As it will be next to impossible to construct a reciprocity treaty "lka uuba that would meet with the approval of the conflicting sugar interests in this country, so will it be difficult to devise any rec iprocity system that will be satis factory and beneficial, or that may not do as much harm in one way as it may do good in another. If, for instance, Cuban sugar were GOOD ADVICE. The following advice, which we clip from the Charleston News and Courier, which caught it on the fly, has good sense enough in it to re commend it to the thoughtful con sideration of every cotton planter, whether he plants much or little cotton: "Food for man and beast is usually purchased at a very high rate of in terest, 'an unreasonably high rate.' The merchant is strained during the Summer season and cannot afford to take the risk of selling: to an improvi dent farmer without 'charging; well for food supplies.' Harvest comes and the cotton is delivered to the mer chant, and in many cases the farmer must then seek credit to begin the next crop. So long as such condi tions exist, the South will not pros per with the North and East' The cotton acreage must be reduced and something else substituted. 'One-fourth the acreage in cotton, if put in pas turage, will supply meat and lard, milk and butter for home use. The nay and nulls and meat that go from town to the farm could as well be produced on the farm.' One acre properly cul tivated will furnish feed for the poul try. A half-acre will produce more rice than an ordinary family will con sume in a year. The eggs produced on a farm should pay for all the sugar and coffee. What is left of the fourth of the usual cotton acreage will make a goat and sheep pasture which will supply mutton fully six months in the year. "Let the farmer plant half his usual acreage of cotton, 'cultivate it well, and sell it for cash, owing nothing for tne crop, and be will be happy, his merchant relieved and both prosper ous.' If anv farmer does not believe in this plan he will do well to try it. 'Men can live at home and prosper. They will never prosper making cot ton to buy bread, meat, hay, molasses and lard.' " The substance of this has been given to the cotton growers of the South scores of times in different forms. They have been urged by commissioners of agriculture, by farmers' conventions and others in terested in Southern agriculture, to About 800 feet of the bed of a railway in Lake county, Illinois, be gan to settle about two months ago. It kept, on settling until it had set tled a hundred feet or more. It took 7,500 carloads of stuff to fill it np. The supposition is that, the sinking was caused by the exhaus tion of natural gas. Something of the same kind occurred in spots in digging the Chicago canal, where the bottom fell out and filling be came necessary.

Chattanooga Times, Ind. In the face of his bold and courageous words, that he wanted Sir George White to escape .any re sponsibility, if Ladysmith should be surrendered, General Redvers Buller has been dismissed from the English army. It is to be hoped that he will live long enough to see that justice is done him, which in time, is sure to come. Mobile Register, Dem. It is an ill wind that blows no one good. The war in South Africa has cost the Boers their inde pendence and the British thousands of lives and hatfuls of money, bnt in this conntry the gain therefrom is great, as witness the shipments of supplies from New York, for the use of the English army. Within a few weeks 1,200,000 bnshels of oats have been purchased. Thns far 560,000 bushels have gone by two steamers.

The condition of these far mers is so much better than the condition of those who stick to the all-cotton lunacy, the surprising thing is that any urging should be needed to make diversified farming general the rule instead of the ex ception. The farmer who puts all his dependence in one crop, no mat ter what the crop may be, makes a mistake.

According to Latham and Alex ander's Cotton Movement and Fluc tuations the mills of this country consumed in 1900-1901, 3,588,501 bales of cotton, of which the North ern mills consnmed 1,967,570 bales ana tne southern min i9.n osi The Northern mills consumed 100, 730 bales less than they did in the preceding year, while the Southern mills consumed 23,819 bales more. This makes in the aggregate 76,911 bales less than were consumed in tne preceding year, attributed, in part at least, to the disturbances in China. The following table shows the consumption of Southern mills by States for 1900-1901 and 1899-1900, with increase or decrease in each: 18J919M Gain. 13,840 748 15,889 16,435 -11,688 8,840 1,753 8.5J4 107 5,057 783 51 Presiding Elder's Appointment, Wllmlor miogtoa District.

Charlotte News: Dick Davis, a well known negro of the Pineville section, was shot and instantly killed Saturday night while returning to Pineville from a negro picnic in Prov idence township. While on the pic nic grounds Davis and several other negroes engaged iu a row. The trou ble was thought to have been settled, but in going home there was a re newal of the row. The testimony before the coroners jury Sunday brought out the following facts: Two negroes by the name of Crockett and Morris had some trouble with Davis on the picnic grounds. Davis started home when he either met or overtook Crockett and Morris. The trouble was again renewed. The ne groes again separated. Crockett and Morriss going on ahead. They stopped by the roadside and waited for Davis to come along. It was not long before he did and as he approached, Crockett fired the fatal ihot. Morris was ar rested as being an accessory to the crime. Both Crockett and Davis are in the county iail.

If you suggest a new and a good idea to ten men, this will happen: Five of the ten will reject the idea first, because it is new, and, second, be cause they themselves did not thinlr of it. The next three will consider the sugges tion vaguely, be faintly impressed with ft, but reject it. They will say that they think the idea not feasible. In reality they will be incapable of the mental ef fort necessary to grasp fresh mental processes. The ninth very probably will tell you that some one else tried the idea before. That "some one else" failed. Therefore you will fail, and he will waste no time on what has been tried vainly. If your tenth man happens to be a strong man, he will make as much of the idea as circumstances will permit. If he has .Napoleon's character, he will realize the scheme despite circumstances, for this was one of his true sayings: "Cir cumstances I make circumstances." He did not boast when he said things of that sort There was no "boast" in him. He said what was true. Yon think of Napoleon as a flashing, flaming genius. In reality he was first of all a man of common sense. He saw things in their true proportions. Mme. d'Houdetot said of him, "He con tracts history and expands imagination." And Lord Dudley said: "He has thrown a doubt on all past glory. He has made all future renown impossible." It is difficult, either with cold detailing f facts or wildest indulgence -in hyper bole, to magnify Napoleon's material achievements. But remember that his greatness, best understood by himself, is attributed by him first, to his common sense, and, sec ond, to the fact that he refuses to con sider another's failure any proof that he must fail. Bead Napoleon's campaigns. Napoleon won all his battles as, if you win, yon will win yours. He won his victories by studying his adversaries. He prepared fcr victory by ignoring the fears and qoubts of others, relying on his own cour age and common sense. Ton know that Napoleon crossed the Alps with an army in the dead of win ter. Ton have seen pictures of Mm ab surdly posed in a snowstorm on the edge f a precipice on a draggle tailed horse, an eagle flying overhead. But he did not yose. If there was a precipice, he kept away from it, and he took his achieve ment calmly. Many of the ablest military writers had said and proved to the satisfaction of all bnt Napoleon that the Alps could not be crossed in winter. Had not those Alps kept back the savage hordes through centuries of winter? Napoleon, perfectly well knowing that he was the greatest of men in military wisdom, rejected all talk and studied the case for himself. Then he crossed the Alps quite easily as he had mapped out tne work. And when it was done he talked of it in common sense fashion. "The winter," says Napoleon, "is net the most unfavorable season for the passage of lofty mountains. The snow is then firm, the weather settled, and there Is nothing to fear from avalanches, the real and only danger to be apprehended ia the Alps. On those high mountains there are often very fine days in Decem ber, of a dry cold, with extreme calmness ia the air." Quite simple it was, you see, and Na- poieon aia it quite simply. When Napoleon appeared, if anything was settled in the minds of men and es pecially of fighters it was this rs That nothing new remained to be discovered in war. Napoleon, just for a change, did everything new. The general who tried to get hold of film felt as this humble writer once felt when ha tried to catch a lobster under a helving rock in the English channel and caught by mistake a middle sized devil fish that had gone in after the lobster ahead. A little training will teach you to seize a lobster before he can seize you. But rach training is useless when yon surprise a devilfish. The men of war who dealt with Napoleon went lobster hunting and found a devilfish. Other generals, for instance. ed, terrified and controlled by their com missaries. Napoleon ignored his in his usual calm way. He says: "What creates great difficulty in the profession of the land commander is the necessity of feeding so many men and animals. If he allows himself to be guid ed by the commissaries, he will never stir." uur aonDta and fears and mental timidity are the "commissaries" that keep so many of cs from stirring or win ning. Let Napoleon teach yon to form your own conclusions, work out . your own problems and not tremble before that old bugaboo "impossible." Only the man who tries new things adds new things to the world's wealth and knowledge. Be, like Napoleon, among those who try. Emerson wrote: "We cannot in the universal Imbecility, Indecision, and Indolence of men suffi ciently congratulate ourselves on this strong and ready actor who took occasion by the beard and showed ns how much may be accomplished by the mere force pf such virtues as all men possess in less degrees namely, by punctuality, by per sonal attention, by courage and thor bnghnessi" New York Journal.

With the in crease of consumption by the South' era mills so far this year, the esti mates are that they will consnme 2,000,000 bales, which would put them very near last year's consump tion by the Northern mills, the dif ference being only 68,300 bales. But the most notable and at the same time most gratifying feature of these statements is that while the Northern mills haye apparently xoovueu ine maximum 01 consump tion, under present conditions, the Southern mills notwithstanding the disturbances in China, where they find a market for considerable of their output, have steadUy increased their output, and continue to in crease, which is proof that they can make money manufacturing the Northern mills can't.
