EDENTON, N.C., Aug. 23rd, 1895-
Build factories and push the
town ahead. Manufacturing en
terprisss will do it when nothing
else will.
There is no place better suited
for a canning factory than Eden
ton. In fact, we could name
dozens of industrial enterprises
that would pay Jiere from the
start.
Thus sayeth an exchange: "Do
good and live for something;
write your name in kindnessdove
and mercy on the hearts of those
with whom you come in contact
year by year; you will never be
forgotten; your name, your act,
your deed will be as light on the
hearts of those you leave behind
as the stars on the brow of eve
ning." It is the simplest truth that
tariff, silver, income tax, or any
other iorm of national taxation,
currency or revenue, is of far less
practical importance to the farm
er than the condition of the roads.
It is a conservative estimate that
places the loss to the farming
community at $200,000,000 a year
from bad roads. And this is con
siderably more than the tariff re
ceipts are likely to be for the
current year. Chicago Inter
Ocean. "So Mr. W. R. Henry, of Hen
derson, has gone into the Popu
lists ranks and will canvass for
the Ocala fellows," says the Wil
mington Messenger. "If they
unite with the Rads and strive
for the mastery in North Caro
lina he would find his hot Dem
ocratic speeches of last year a
rather entangling alliance. Those
fierce and furious Democratic
speeches will never be at peace'
with the efforts of Poptilist
flavor and inspiration. It will
be impossible to reconcile the
past and present, however ear
nest and ingenious the plea."
Some of otir exchanges are
talking about the next Governor
of North Carolina. The names
of some very good men living in
this section of the State have
been mentioned men who the
Fisherman & Farmer would
gladly second their nomination
and delight to see them occupy
ing the gubernatorial chair but
we fear it is a waste of printer's
ink. It seems that this section
of the good old North State is
never looked to for governors.
In fact we are entirely ignored.
Indeed, Northeastern Carolina is
"not in it" when it comes to
selecting governors, notwith
standing the fact that we have
many here who by reason of
knowledge, learning, general
ability .character and sound Dem
ocracy would make governors
above the average.
The South has raised the lar
gest corn crop in its history, and
likewise the largest fiuit and
vegetable crops; it cotton crop
promises a fair yield.with a pros
pect of better prices; its indus
trial interests are almost without
exception busy and prosperous;
its furnaces are pushed to meet
the demand for iron at profitable
figures; its coal mines are turning
out a larger product than ever
before; its textile industries are
developing at an amazing rate,
and all other industries are busy,
while capital and population are
tending southward from every
section. Such a combination
never existed before in the
South's history. Now is the
time for every place in the South
to work to get the greatest bene
fits out of this unprecedented con
dition of affairs.
The worry of the day is a bad
bed fellow.
LOVING HOMES.
Nothing appears to us so beau
tiful in human experience as the
reciprocal affection of parents
and children, especially after the
latter have attained maturity ,and,
it may be, form new relations in
life. We have seen the loving
and lovely daughter, after she
has become a wife and mother,
seize every opportunity of visit
ing the parental home, to lavish
her affectionate attention upon
her parents, and, by a thousand
graceful and tender kindnesses,
assure them that though she was
an idolized wife and a happy
mother, her heart still cleaved
with ever strengthening fervor
to father and mother, who watch
ed over her infancy and guided
her youth.
It has been . our privilege to
know such; and as we have wit
nessed the out pourings of love
and happiness between these de
voted and glowing hearts, we
have felt that surely much of
heaven might be enjoyed here il
all families were equally attach
ed. And would that every daugh
ter knew vhat pure joy she
might create in the parental
bosom by a constant keeping
alive of the spirit of filial devo
tion,, and seizing frequent oppor
tunities to make it manifest in
little acts of gentleness and love,
notwithstanding the child may
become a parent. The child
never grows old to a fond parent.
It is always the dear child, and
never so dear as when it keeps up
the childish confidence and love
of its earliest year.
THE DEED HAS BEEN DONE.
In the face of an almost unans
imous protest from the people,
the directors of the North Caro -lina
Railroad have abused the
trust committed to them and
have leased the road for niuetv
nine years for a ridiculously
small iuciease over the amount
paid for the last twenty-five years.
Commenting upon this, the
Raleigh Ncxvs & Observer says:
"It is the most monstrously un
fair transaction to the State that
this generation has witnessed. It
would have been bad enough to
have leased the road for thirty
years at this ridiculously low
figure, but it is a crime for which
there is no excuse or paliation to
have leased it for three genera
tions at only one per cent, more
than was paid for it twenty-five
years ago.
The Southern and another
road leases the Western and At
lantic Railroad, from Atlanta to
Chattanooga, from the State of
Georgia for $35,000 per mouth,
or $420,000 per year. It is 131
miles in length. The Legisla
ture of Georgia passed an act
authorizing this least, and the
least was drawn up m accordance
with the act of the Legislature.
The Georgia railroad, 171
miles with branches making in
all 359 miles, is leased for 600,
000 per year. This road is leased
by the stockholders.
The Southern road pays a
rental of 1 ,7 50 per mile per year
tor the Air-Line from Charlotte
to Atlanta.
The North Carolina railroad is
223 miles long, and at seven per
cent, the lease will bring that
State $280,000, or a trifle over
$1,255 per mile or $500 a mile
less than is paid for the Char
lotte & Atlanta Air-Line, which
is a part of the same system as
the North Carolina road.
The South haters in Philadel
phia who are endeavoring to pre
vent the old Liberty bell from
going to Atlanta are adopting all
sorts of expedients to accomplish
their purpose. At one time their
opposition was based upon the
flimsey pretext that the bell
should not be permitted to go
where a bull fight was going to
be he held, but the managers
having decided that even sham
bull fights will not be permitted,
the objection is now urged that
it would be contrary to the
Pennsylvania constitution for
Philadelphia Council to appro
priate money to defray the ex
penses of moving the bell. Nor

MAY BE EIGHT CENTS:
wfiat the president of the ameri
can cotton planters' protective
association says. planters
should not market their
crops too rapidly.
If cotton growers accept the
advice of Hon. Hector D. Lane,
Commissioner of Agriculture of
Alabama and President of the
American Cotton Growers' Pro
tective Association, says the Au
gusta Chronicle, they will stand
an excellent chance of getting 8
cents for middling cotton this
year. Mr. Lane arrived at Gal
veston a few days ago from a
trip "through the cotton growing
sections of Texas, and he asserts
without fear of contradiction,
that the Texas crop will not exs
cecd 2,000,000 bales. The rea
sons lie gives for this assertion
are convincing ones,
Mr. Lane has also informed
himself of the condition of the
cotton crop in all the other cotton
growing States, and he gives it
as his opinion that the entire
American cotton crop will not
exceed 7,250,000 bales.
Mr. Lane's advice to the cotton
growers is to hold their cotton
until late in the season. He does
not expect that all will bold it,
or that every co ton grower will
hold his entire crop. What he
means is that cotton fanners
should not send their cotton to
market as fast as they gather it,i
but they should so control their
shipments as to prevent the glut
ting of the market.
The English buyers are going
to get the cotton for as low a
price as they can. In pursuance
of that policy their agents are
making predictions of a crop of
8,000,000 or 9,000,000 bales.
They would predict 10,000,000
bales in all probability it they
thought such a prediction would
have any influence on the cotton
market.
It is pretty generally admitted
that the crop is going to be a
short one. Even if the weather
during the next four weeks
should be extremely favorable
throughout the entire cotton belt
the yield would not be greatly
increased beyond what it would
be under average weather coudis
tions, and there are no good rea
sons for thinking conditions bet
ter than the average will prevail
in the whole cotton belt.
Let the cotton growers act
with good judgment in disposing
of their cotton, and the chances
are that they will get 8 cents,
and perhaps more, for their cot
ton. There is no good reason
why they should be in a hurry
to market their cotton. Most of
them have raised abundant food
crops, and therefore they are in a
position to hold on to their mon
ey crop. They should not per
mit themselves to be scared by
the reports of the English agents
that the crop is going to be a
large one. The reports of such
men as Mr. Lane are much more
reliable than those of bear spec-
ulators, whose sole object is to
get the cotton at as low a price
as possible.
Vhat the South can do.
It is evident that the South
has at hand, and therefore cheap,
all the raw materials entering
into manufactures; that its labor
and cost of living are cheaper
than at the North; that it can, in
consequence, manufacture goods
of all kinds at less cost than in
the North or the West; that it
not only supply the home de
mand, but also export goods with
profit; that in the finer lines of
manufactures it is extending its
operations with success; and that,
to compete with it, wages in the
North must be reduced. With all
these advantages on its side, the
fault will be with the South if it
fails to reach out its hands and
take what nature has so kindly
offered. F. G. Mather, in North
American Reviezv.

NO USE TO WORRY.
What good is accomplished by
worrying ? We might as well
trv to turn back the tides ot the
ocean with a shovel as to over
come trouble and disappoint
ment by fretting over them. We
at all times can not control our
thoughts and they are able to
run in gloomy channels, let us
do our best, but we can brave
trouble better than we generally
do if we onlv make an effort.
Worrying shorten life, so claim
those who have given motaphy
sical subjects much study. It
maps itself in our faces, and we
go among our friends leaving
sympathetic marks of our trouble
here and there. Be cheerful and
you will notice the face:; of all
about reflecting brightness; be
sad and you will see the faces of
those with whom you associate,
mirror like, cast back a gloomy
shadow. Worrying will not help
you any way and is sure to mag
nify your trouble.
Remember the sun shines for
you as well as for all God's crea
tures, the flowers, the beautiful
landscape, and all the magnifi
cense of nature are for you, then
why should you worry even
though you must bear trials ?
Always remember but for adver
sity we would not know and en
joy the greater blessings of life.

The Bessoaette Cotton Bale.
A man by the name of Pessos
uette, of Temple, Texas, has in
vented a process of compressing
cotton which, it is cstimated.will
save to the South $32,000,000
annually. Imagiue.if you please,
a cotton bale so dense and so well
covered that a fire may be built
unon it without causing calcu-
lable damage; also imagine a bale
so packed as to occupy much less
room than an ordinary compress
ed bale, yet not need any ties to
keep it in shape; imagine further
a bale which contains no moist
ure, no air, and nothing but cot
ton, and so compact as to be like
a block of hardwood into which
nails can be driven the same
as if it were wood.
The cotton, according to the
Bessouette process, is ginned in
to bats, wound 011 iron spindles,
pressed down upon the spindle
by a revolving cylinder with any
required pressure,aud then wrap,
ped with cotton duck, something
after the style of the wrapping. of
a cigar. Cotton duck 'cupy are
placed over the ends of the cy
linder of cotton, after the spindle
is withdrawu.and strands of wire
passed around the ends of the
cylinder hold the cups in place.
No iron bauds are used, as the
wav the cotton batting is wound
on the spindle retains the full
force of the compressage. The
duck is to protect the outside of
the cylinder of cotton from dirt
