euitor aad proprfc- RD Decbmbee 13, 1901 COTTON CULTURE. , As cotton oaltare has been and is, it will continue to be for years to come, the principal agricultural in dustry in the cotton belt of the South. There are reasons why this has been so and reasons why it will continue to be so, whether the crop as a whole pay well or not. With a few exceptional years it has not paid well as a whole, and this will doubt less be the case until there is a revo lution in the system and cotton ceases to bo the main dependence of the cotton grower. It isn't an easy thing to quickly revolutionize the .habits and customs of generations, or for a farming area of such extent as the cotton belt, varying as it does in soil and climatic conditions, to drop an almost universally cultivated crop and take to other crops. 1 This is especially true when sticking to cotton has become to some extent a necessity with the average farmer in this area. Cotton is a crop that is always marketable, easily kept with out danger of in jury by the keeping, is a good collateral for borrowed money and is one of the few crops on which supplies can be secured and money advanced before the seed is put in the ground. These are some of the reasons for the large and in creased acreage of cotton, and why bo many farmers grow it who cannot afford to grow it, but grow it because they find it easier to grow than any other crop. While it is and is to be the princi pal crop of the cotton belt, its cul tivation ought to be governed by business sense and as little as pos sible left to chance, which is neces sarily a large factor in the growing of this as it is in the growing of other crops, . perhaps more so in this than in other crops, for it has to contend not only against fickle seasons, storms, ravaging insects, &c, but against the market manipu tors and price makers after the crop is gathered and ready for the market.- There are men who make money growing cotton, and make a good dealr as there are men who make money in almost everything they undertake. Bnt these are men who have business methods and are mas ters -of themselves and of their crops. Bnt the average .cotton planter does not make money out of the crop when that is his main de pendence, as it Is of too many. Some idea of how little the crop Ttava n a mLaIa . 1 H I rjo r " m' 8erea from the following statement by the U. S. Department of Agriculture showing the yield of lint per acre for the respective cotton growing States and Territories: Virginia 176 142 141 167 117 156 205 260 159 North-Carolina South Carolina Georgia ., Florida .. Alabama . Mississippi Louisiana Tarai Arkansas Tennessee afiaaniirl AVACM .......... 178 136 196 Oklahoma i9j Indian Territory 2m There is an object lesson in these " T&g COttn planter might study with profit. I Let us take north Carolina, for in stance. The yield estimated for this State is 142 pounds per acre. Sold at eight cents a pound (and that's more than it's likely to bring) it would give the grower $11.36 from which deduct cost of picking, ginning, bagging, ties and market ing, which would be partially offset by the value of seed he might dispose of. Bnt out of this $11.36 an acre he has to pay the debts contracted to make the crop. Estimating the cost of production at five cents a Pound, (which is rather 'under than over the mark for this State) the grower has left $4.26 for his labor, time, investment and wear and tear of farm implements, stock, Ac. There isn't a crop that the North Carolina farmer could raise that wouldn't pay better than that. There are some States that do not make as good a showing as North Carolina, some that do not make a much better showing, and only a few that make any better showing, none of them a showing calculated to make them enthusiastic over this industry. Yet in the aggregate it is a great and mighty factor in the commercial life and prosperity of this country, one which enriches I others and out of which the grower I ought to reap more profit than he doeB. Can he reap more profit? That is the problem for him and for others whose prosperity is directly or indi rectly dependent upon his, to con sider. He can, but to do it there must be a change of methods, and whether the acreage of cotton be smaller or larger than it is now the Planter muss put himself in a posi- A- i . t . 1 won inacne can control his crop and I aos iee u control mm. He can never do that while cotton is the crop upon which he must rely, upon which he musfdepend to meet his obligations, to pay the running expenses of his farm and support his family. If he have nothing else to fall back on he will always be on the ragged edge, lways at the mercy of some one else, and always the slave of circum stances. He will live and die poor, and dying can look back only to a unequited toil, and feel that leaves a .family poorly provided for, after alt his hard and patient labor. v - ; ' There are exceptions, farmers who, as we have stated, have made money growing cotton, but these were farmers who raised something besides cotton, made the farm self supporting and thus did not become dependent upon the merchant . to advance supplies, nor upon the money lender for money to pay cur rent expenses. The cotton- they grew they controlled, sold if it suit ed them to sell and held if they they thought that was the better thing to do. They were their own masters, and were not compelled to sacrifice the proceeds of their labor which was mortgaged so some one else. Cotton growing as an indus try will never be profitable as a whole until it becomes a "money crop," in fact as it is in name and subordinate to other crops. It can do this without being materially re duced in proportions. TO BORE FOR OIL. In view of the fact that oil has within the past year or so been found in so many .unexpected local ities, and is found over such a wide area in this country, it is not sur prising that attempts should be made to find it in North Carolina, and that seme entertain the belief that some of these attempts may prove .successful. A few days ago we made a clipping from the New bern Journal about a project on foot to work some wells in Craven county by parties who seemed to be confident of good results, and now the report comes that wells are to be bored in Buncombe county, near Asheville, concerning which we clip the following from an Ashe ville special to the Raleigh Post: "A number of Northern capitalists are here prospecting for oil and have obtained 'oil leaves' on a large tract of country almost adjoining the nortnern boundaries of the city. What reasons these prospectors have for believing that this is oil produc ing: territory are not divulged by them, bat they have convinced a number of the leading residents here of the sincerity of their intentions to test the country and that they have the capital and experience necessary to do so. The company desires to secure me agreements embodied agreements emhndiuf In their, leases with the owners of s nnn STiillES?!? of land in loc,ditJ I Thl. teases or options on a considerable amount W. T. Eidell, one of the prospectors, says that he and his asso ciates are well enough satisfied with (he oil prospects here to make the ven ture o; testing the territory. The cost of the first well would be about 120, 000. They estimated that it would be necessary to go down 8,600 to 3,800 feet, figuring from the depth of the oil and gas bearing sands in Tennes see. Before beginning operations they wish to secure agreements with j auwij HVlinu tfiA AVT1AM l9 a ST f kAA M i ntZZZ22LW2 vtwv abrea ui lauu en the one-eighth royalty basis, which was as generous an offer as had been made in other territory at the period of prospecting. Men who are willing to pnt $20, 000 or more in holes in the ground ivjutj VH1L WU1CU I have . considerable faith in their scheme. This is not the first time, however, that boring for oil in that section has been talked of, for sev eral years ago, before oil was struck in the Beaumont field in Texas, or in any oz the new fields, there was a movement in Asheville to organize a company for that purpose, but it fell through for some reason. Whether oil b tnnnA in t w I tion or not we haVe not th w I " af WU1 be ,0Md iu this State, where1 the broannntivA I conditions are as favorable as they I were in any section wham in any section where nil h been struck. One of the principal obstacles in the. way is the fact that North Carolina has principally a rock foundation, and boring, with posBiQiy some lew exceptions, will be expensive. . Some American manaeers of man ufacturing establishments in Ger many employ some American work men, and it has been shown that these workmen, allowine for ever?. thing, turn cut "35 per cent, more work than their German fellow- worsmen. They think quicker, move quicker, and handle machinery more cleverly.

Hall's ramuv PUls are Ut b ER IS VERY TIRED- The Republican papers, of the North are coming into line in sup port of the scheme to reduce South ern representation in Congress' and in the electoral college.. The Phila delphia Press has been one of the strongest supporters of this scheme, and as its editor in-chief is one of the cabinet, its editorial utterances are more than ordinarily interesting and significant as foreshadowing the views of the administration leaders and representatives. 1 In noting the Moody resolution it says: "There need be no opposition to the bill introduced by Congressman Flem ing, of Georgia, asking for an Inves tigation of the suffrage question 4n Massachusetts and whether that 8tate is violating the Fourteenth and Fif teenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. If that State or any. other State is so violating the Consti' tution it should be made to conform to it or pay toe penalty. The bill may have been introduced in reprisal for Mr. Moody's bill calling for an inves tigation of the suffrage situation in (he South, but that should not militate against it" The opposition to investigating Southern suffrage on the ground that it may stir up bitterness in that section ought to have no consideration. Con gressman Moody answered this objec tion when he said: "I am very tired of being told that we must never of fend the8outh by touching any South ern question, that the South must be allowed to work out its own problems in its own way. I say these are our problems, too, since the membership Of the House of Representatives and the Presidential vote in the Electoral College are so closely related thereto." This is he correct ground. No more puerile argument could be advanced than that the South must be treated like a spoiled child and that even when it is perpetrating a gross Wrong nothing must be done lest it may get "mad." . 'The question is a national one. As the situation now is every Northern voter is robbed of his rights in the government of the country by South ern white Democrats I and the former are told they must not do anything about it for fear they may anger those who do the robbing. The vast major ity of the voters in the. North believe with Congressman Moody when he says: "I do not know why forty white men in Mississippi, even if they all vote, should have the same voting power as 100 men in Massachusetts." It is a correction of this wrong that public sentiment demands. When the Republican leaders de cide that Anything is to the advan tage of the party they show little scruple in advocating it, in what ever light it may put them as to consistency or honesty. There was not one of these clamorers for re ducing Southern representation who didn't laud the conservatism and nationality of the late President Mc Kinley, who never let an oppor tunity escape to draw the sections closer together, and resolutely set his face against any revival of sec tional agitation. It was one of the things that he had congratulated himself most upon, and yet so soon after his death, before they have ceased to sing his praises, they re- buke him and hasten to do th vrv -r . 'J ming ne deprecated, revive - sec tional agitation, and all for base po il litical purposes, while hypocritically pretending that they are inspired by a desire .and determination to do justice, not to the negro but to the Northern voters, whose votes don't count for as much as the votes of Southern white men.

Effort Pilled to Hsve Body laterred . Here is Deferesce to His Oft v Expressed Wish. Yesterday morning a telegram' was received in thecityv addressed to Rt. Rev. Bishop A. A. .Watson, announc ing the sudden death at 8 o'clock Tues day night of the Rev. George T. Pat terson, of Memphis, Tenn , . rector of Grace Episcopal church, that city, and for many years rector of St. John's parish and assistant rector of St. James', this city.: ' Dr. Patterson was a native of Bos ton, Mass., and was of Greek parent age on his father's side. He was 73 years of age and death resulted of heart failure. Dr. Patterson came' to Wilmington in the year 1856, when comparatively a young man, and became assistant to the rector of 8L James, who was then Dr. Watson, now Rt Rev. Bishop A.. A. Watson. At Easter of the year 1870, Dr. Patterson became rector of St. John's parisbgand continued in that capacity wUfcl marked ability and pop ularity. until' the year 1880, when he resigned to assume work with the Uni versity of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. Subsequently he became' rector of an Episcopal parish in Dehnison, Texas, where he remained only for a short while, going to Grace church, Mem phis, in the year 1883, soon "after the Rev. Dr. James Catmichael resigned that work to go to Maryland and later coming to St John's church, this city. Dr. Patterson was a most capable rector, a most earnest Christian, a most loveable man and possessed of a temperament full of generosity. There was no call of sorrow or sickness but received from him prompt, ready and sympathetic succor. With a keen sense of humor and a sincere devotion to mankind, he made .friends everywhere and in every denomination. His death is received bere only with a sense of deepest sorrow. During the war he served most efficiently as chaplain of the Third North Carolina Regiment, having received a commission through CoL W. L. DeRosset in December, 1863. Near the close of the conflict he was transferred to Chimboraso Hos pital, Richmond, where he served until the surrender. Upon receipt of information of his death, St. John's Church, of this city, together with some of bis innumera ble friends here, knowing his oft ex pressed desire to be buried at a certain spot in 8L John's churchyard, imme diately telegraphed to Memphis to have his remains sent to Wilmington by express at their expense. A special consent of the municipal authorities had to be gained, which was accom plished directly, and every arrange ment made for his interment here, where he desired. Yesterday evening, however. Dr. Jamea Carmichael, rec tor of 8. John's parish, received the f 61 lo wing reply from Memphis: "The vestry of Grace Church have just de cided to bury Dr. Patterson here on Friday." This conclusion of that vestry will cause a thrill of universal regret in this community, where he was so thoroughly loved and by a people who were so desirous to render the last sad homage possible on earth to his worth and to his memory.

Once gone the young fellow never returned and was next heard of In Wilmington, where he sold the cart and harness for $6.00 to Mr. Wilson, who keeps a cart house in "Brooklyn." The mule was brought down to Mills' stable and offered for sale at a ridiculously low price and Mr. Mills refused to buy. Next it was taken to Davis' stablea. on Market street and offered to Mr. Blackley at $150. Subsequently the price was reduced to 150 and a trade made, the man giving his name Fisher and saying his friend Mr. How ell Home would wait at the stablea and get the money. Mr.Blackley was suspicious of the price, and inquiry of Mr. Home developed the fsct that Fisher was a stranger to him, where upon the purchaser refused payment, advertised the circumstances in the newspapers and put the police on the track of Fisher, who, learning of Mr. Blackley'a hesitancy in paying the money, skipped out Mr. Stallings has recovered all the property and will return home to-day.
