W. W. in The north weat are going to afford all Ihe evidence that i aeeettary. i a nxctrvh RXVOLVTION. Whatever Prof. W. T. Uaatry aaya oa agritnl turat queatioai it worth listening to. Here ii bit epliioa ea the priea of, eattoa aa revealed ia letter to the New York Worlds la reeent editorial" you aeem to eontider the efforts of Uia combined fannera to keep eottoa off the market aa profiteering. It is a perfectly legitimate effort to keep tha crop out at the hands of tha speculators, who every fall endeaver to press down the price till they ' get tha crop out of the hands of the farmers and than let it rush to- ita natural pries ae cording to demand and tnpply. It is aa effort to get a fair prieo for tha farmers rather than the gaaiblers, . I hare bees familiar with the eotlon-firqwing laduatry for assay years aad have reeeatly ridden many hundreds of miles ia tha cotton country, and I failed to ace a single field that will pay the cost of growing it at 40 cents a pound. In faei, there haa not been so dead a failure of tha eottoa crop since the Civil War. Cottna will naturally go ever CO eeata a pound before Christmas if the manipulators fail to efbp it, and tha farmers ara naturally holding on to tha little they have and will make no money from the crop no matter what the prieto. Cotton haa been higher in New Orleans all the fait than ia New York. The World had carried aa editorial chargin Houthero cotton farmers with forming a combine to increaaa the prieo of a necessity.'' Prof, Mat' scy, sa experienced! and observant farmer, says in effect that the farmers ara merely exemplify ing the truth nf th old saying that aelf-praser vntum ia the first law of nature. Home hate frit that with ottou at foty cents or thereabouts the farmer could raiaa the crop profltsbly. But almost any of those who have cx pressed such an opinion naturally would, feel like deferring to men like Prof. Massey who bare made a life-study of agricultural questions. It is certain that the iainaTorlelrilOgr' culture and all other Held, must havo mora re tura for taeir labor rin the future than they bara had in the past. In ether words there muslr bo such a distribution of wealth that there will be Art" mora Camegies, Rockefellers, Vanderbilla, Goulds and Aslors and Indeed no more of even the men and families with smaller number! of mil lions and in their plaeo vastly larger number of people in eoraforlable circumstances. Tha world owes the working man a comfortable living, the old adage will be changed to read. Ifow rhia consummation Is going to be reached is not quite clear, but every thinking person un dcrstsnds that it must coma or there will never be an end of the conditions of nnreat and dis satisfaction now prevailing. Ia trying to get a living price for cotton the growers of that staple are merely carrying on their part of a peaceful revolution which alfeady seems to have gotten fairly uuder way. V tlVE STOCK MEETING. Beginning December and continuing four days Coldsboro bat scheduled a meeting of the live stock men of thj State, with an extensive program and exhibit of the things that pertain to the in dustry. ' ; Goldsboro It ia tha heart of a fertile area, where livestock caa be made to thrive, and thin meeting If Mount Airy and Greensboro da not got their new postoftlees, they at least have a etiaaee to tell ' Congress about tho progreaa they are making. ', Crops in the State ara reported short thit year, but the prices ara long enough to offset tome of the shrinkage, i The Federal law providing a, tns of $3,000 for stealing aa automobile, looks pretty good, 'and will probably be satisfactory if the fellow who steals it can be caught ' The Reds are persuadiag miners Jn West Vir ginia to walk out, again, Tha next atep will be to tell th Reds to walk out, and when they get the notice, they will walk.

Rail roads center at Goldsboro. Good roads for auto' mobiles reach the city, and it is a good place to drop in for a day or to on any occasion. Men of prominence in th livestock industry will be there to tell' what they know about cattle, hog and sheep raising, and particular pain nave been taken to provide a program that is instructive and interesting. , On day will bo devoted to hogn, one to boot cattle, one to sheep, and on to dairy Vat tie and poultry. The program ia comprehensive, and in eludes moving picture of many thing pertain' lag to the stock under discussion, aad tho various operation that ara included U raising and mar' koting tho products. ' Along with the ether feature will bo sales of th different animals, wher farmers can buy stock of certified excellence to build up v their herds, and most of it At roaaonnbl prices. Free barbecue dinner will be among tha inducements te attend. All around th gathering will be on of th moat useful tha State haa avr known, And it is fpr th? common good that many be, there a can, for it is to b a liv stock sxpositlon and school of instruction. n Th changed conditions following tho war, and the lacreased demands oa tho United Slates for food, especially mast products, 'places on the farmer s greater burden of progress,nnd ha can not keep npjrith tho universal gait of industry unless h himself keeps posted, by just such ehaneee as this Goldsboro mooting offers. , A program of the meetings can be had from county agents or from the Agricultural Depart' meat at Wert Baleigh. THE HEW MATOR.O Mr. T. B. Eldridge, who has been ehoscn Mayor sod Commissioner of Finnoc to succeed t 1st aiayor jonuaon, it a ma a oimany (tamable quau tin and should make aa efficient executive. Ther la no maa ia Raleigh of anywhere for that matter of cleaner llf and character. His appointment from this standpoint is most com' piementsry to Commiasioners Pace' and Mooney ham. Tree enough so candidate was consider! by the board, ia oposahSesalos at least, but who was, also of niumirched reputation and character but it would have been easily "possible, especially ia agreeing oa a compromise candidate, to have picked ono .who might havo feft something to be desired la this respect. - . . A man" of conviction and with tho courage to aet them, , Mr, Eldridgo should rank . up well m that funptiont of bis offleo requiring firmness sad purpose. He will put eonteisnc into bit work, giving th best there ia in him to tho dis charge of bis duties. ' What tho new executive will da la bis role si matter of the eity oaeheqnsr ia to b ea. But th qualities of f rmnesa and oonrago whkh ha to known to possess will stand bint in good stead ia this phase of bis work sad they augur well for bis success, . ' THS COUNTRY HANK, The Citizens' Bank of Mount Olive is a pretty good example of tho prosperity of th agricul tural sections of the State. This bank Is about to increase its capital stock from 123,000 to f 100,- 000. The sueeett f (he bank for the kit few yean has been aauauat. Mount jOUvo la aa es- , r eepuonal trucking section. The farmers dowa that ay are thrifty and progressive. Their lands art fertile and highly productive. The policy of cul- itvation is extremely intently . ''With tha quality of land and favorable climate, Meant Olive farm' ert can make the staple crops, or they can special, ize ia truck, or livestock, or .caa combine all of them. " t The result Is shown la the condition of the hank. The farmers sre making money, and they have money to deposit, which is available as asp' Hal for the industries of tha, community. Tho people are improving their hornet, their farms, Hheir schools and their institutions of every kind. They are progressing s a community. The Mount Olive neighborhood is becoming one of the moit attractive in the State. Th story th bank tells is that the progress ban only commenced. The fact that the bank is multiplying its capital by four tells that the community bat reached th stage where it is to go forward on a more a thuaiastle snd successful scale than ever. This eonditiosjvis not delusive to Mount Olive. It is tyrnVxl of every section of the State. New banks, and banks that are' increasing their eayr itai are heard from right along. And tha story is the same every time. MASSACHUSETTS. Massachusetts is getting recognition of the at titude she took In. the election of Governor Cool- idgo, and probably it is all deserved. American ism against anarchy, is the wsy the sentiment rarawsed -"tsr-ir happened to bo the State where the first oppor tuuity came to register .a decisive view on this situation, but it was not happen that permitted Massachusetts to do the right thing. It was sound Amsricaa loyalty and. sensed- they sell anything that is not good It is. only because their Judgment, based en experience, has been at' xaait. Which leads to mention sf still another subject taken op at St. Louis."- ' . How can the standing of securities of railroad and ,treet ear lines be improved? The American publis owns billions of their stocks and bonds, end within the last few years the earnings of a very large proportion of the. companies hsve either fallen or failed to keep pace witb increasing costs of operation. -, So far as the tutr of toeks and bonds are concerned, thin failure of the pablie utility son panics to increase their income has meant cutting dowa or cutting of dividends on stock and the default of interest payments oa bosds. ,As k natural consequence, the market vslu of- such rttoeks snd bonds has gons down," snd investors who either must sell or wast to sell are out of luck, ' ' ' A good Federsl lsw vigorously enforced--; law with teeth that bite would aot only protect the publis against the lakers and wildcat promoter but it would prevent tha sale of many Issues of stocks snd bonds which nnder our present prae tices it not frowned upon. P - A proper Federal law would ask of a com' pany that proposed to sell stock or bondaf first Why do you aoed this money T Second How do you propose to spend it Third Just bow do von propose to tars divi dends or Interest on itf The enterprise that made satisfactory answers. under the oath of its officers snd directors, to thnan nueationa aa nrooounded tv Unele Sam's agents would be fairly certain of having a sontt'l existence. It would be fairly certain to provide a good investment for oat money. , Tho old Puritan blood is cold ell' tight, and it is willing to recognize its en virtues, but a ess. did confession admits that tho old stock bas on divers occasions rendered a aubstantial'service to the country at the right time. North Carolina not so tollish over" her own Alsmsneer and King's Mountain and Guilford courthouse but that she recollects that Concord snd Bunker Hill, 4nd soms other places thow sears that tell of things that count. The point now it that Massachusetts saw the sign, and interpreted it, 'mere is a mixed stoek In Massnchnsetts." The Bute is aot alt of the brood that landed on Plymouth Rock.' There ajp English and Irish and Syrians and Welsh, and Lascars and Poles, and all the rent, but the com' posits is American and without hyphen or modi fication. That is all f&at It necessary. Sometimes Massachusetts gets eecentrie over eye-glasses snd the sacred codfish, snd beans snd browa bread, and atumblet in trying to pronounce a, but la a case that involves the supremacy of Americanism "she gets, her feet oa the ground tbout at sat and hard as any of them. WORTHY OF IMITATION. A circular from the Pennsylvenla Forestry Mr- yice tells of aa experiment the State Is carrying on in ths planting of walnut trees. Whoa war called for walnut lumber the Pennsylvania, farm' era Sound that they had but a small supply. The State bas istnod to ths, farmers a large quantity of walnut and they have bees planting the nuts la' convenient placet on their farms, and they in tend that when another call comes for walnut lumber enough will be on band to belp some.' If vbere is any profit ia planting walnut tree North Carolina should be in oa that job. Ths walnut srrows raoidlv ia this State and maken ex eellont lumber. . The price is always high, and walnut is wood that will never go out Of fashion, It is substantial and. useful for a great variety purposes. 1 The. crop was so well' exhausted by wsr that it can not bs over produced in another life time, snd by then the' increased population will want to much mors of ths lumber that walnut it bound t bs a short erop permanently. ' The North Carolina farmer ena find sa abund ance ox see a wunoui tns ware rurnunitig tor him, aad he can do many a worse thing than to plant freely of walnuts oa every available corner of bis farm. It does not takt a great while for walnut to get big enough te, use, and a walnut plantation would, be a good investment for both nuts nnd wood. , Doing s Great Work. Concord Tribune, v How many .people are there ia this State who tre familiar with ths work being done, and the roi motive of th Stonewall Jaekson Training RcUooI. which ia located just South of thia eityt How 'many people know of the great benefits way ward boys are receiving at ths institution, of the great helping band that is stretched forwsrd to Bil boys who ara down, but who .do not want to ttay dowaf - It will repay all people to visit this institution wher the wayward youths snd boys of the State srs seat for correction and discipline. It will fill th heart and mind of esch of us with a new de termination, snd flew faith in ths righteousness of things to look oa th beys, and fully realise the! great good being accomplished for them. It will give each of us a sew view of life, and a sew faith ia the eternal fitness of things. lint the greatest lesson to tie gathered xront visit to ths Training School would be a new viewpoint of tho people ia regard to the oppor tunities of ths boys at the school no, and others who will bs sent. - Ths school has dons a great ork, it hal been a permanent blessing to tho Stats, but its work it just beginning. For "Blue Sky" Lw With ? Teeth Thai Bite, . By JOHN M. OSKISON.' Some hundreds of investment expert met at St. Louis recently to talk over various topic which interest them especially. Nesrly everything they discussed interests you and ,ms ahe.

What they said on this point was emphatic i- It It essential that ths state laws against the flota tion of ftks securities be very rigorously en forced, and every investor and Investment dealer must work for the enactment of a nttional law regulating the issue and sal of stocks snd bond. These men want Lrw with teeth -that bite. And they have a thoroughly sound, selfish reason. This whst th president of U association said!

Luxuries sre in greater demand now than ever before in the history of the United 8tates.'Dia- mondt, limousines, expensivs furs aad silk hirts are selling faster than dealer caa get them. "People who bought fur eoats worth 300 be fore the wsr speed ss ranch ss $900 for them bow,' said a fur dealer. "That does aot merely signify that prices have gons up: it means that people are willing to pay for a higher class article. And we srs selling five times as many fur costs as berore. What is more, rjeonle will oav SDOt cash. It nsed to bs necessary to sell furs oa credit; now the buyer eeema to bsvs Uhe money. Most of the time he is a maa who never would nave thought of buying such a thing ia the old days." The demand for jewelry is far ia advance of tho supply, according to F. C.
