CONCORD, NOV ' 23 lMr.- W will 1 1 I liii'f t b 1 mi immj .mmmBSnmm eoiiVEirriojr r "ow l tjie cOTtoK or wers; The cotton growers of South CUr olma Leld a mfeting recently to con sider some me Hn 8 by which to secure & better price for cotton. There were speeches in which enthusiasts claimed that the South has prac tically a monopoly on the cotton rusing, apparently not fearing the envelopment cf competition from Egypt and other parts of Africs, India, South America, Mexico and probably other ptn a of she world. There stems to be a hope : that: zonae means may be devised bv which the product may be able to dictate the price instead of the Li rpool market To this end Mr. J C Wilborn, president of the Sta'e Alliance and of 'the late cotton growers' conven tion, has called a convention to meet in Atlanta, Ga., on D.c. 14th, '97. The plan Is for each goyernor of a ADttoa growing, siata to secure one' practical cotton grower from each congressional district and two ? for the State at large to go as delegates. This mysterious capricionsne33 of 4ie prica of cotton , by which it Tories several cents during the year may vrll absorb the thoughtful at fcentioa of out wisest meia, and if anch conventions could be: held and the action controled by men not visionary nor monopolistic,' 'but re trroising the laws of trade and. by well organized means could oyer come the evils resulting from vio lence to these laws, some good laight be accomplished. TJusually some sharper or visionary characters l.-afi such efforts into worse disaster. We think that. some years ago such movement resulted in a kind of aale and exchange agency by which cmr farmers quickly found them selves fleeced. In such movement the thing to be done is usually the tery thing that? jcan't be done, for instance to get the cotton growers So decrease the acreage or refuse to pll when the price is low. If there is: any way that is J better than for very farmer to raise all the cotton n which he tsari make more and do better for thimself, his family and land than he can at : any thing else, and stop raising cotton just i hen she can succeed better at some fhfng else, we haye never conceited nor heard of it. But we are not ready to say that nothing can be done. ' '".5 f ? . .

The south raises the cotton Still we have Southern Republicans, especial ly the brother in blacky who 'raises most of the cotton. a 2 - FOB TE1CUEB4 'ASSOCIATION. State Superintendent Mebane seems untiring in bis efforta in the work of bettering the educational interests in the State. In his circular letter of the 20th he is urging the organization of teacher's associations in the counties. He expects the county 5 Supervis ors to accomplish such organizations We had such organiz tion in Ca barms at several time and the good tffec s are unquestionable! We are .pt to overlook such benefits in our chagrin at failing to keep them going.:-. The inability to jet the very ones to attend who mcst need the advantages, furnishes the only ground for hesi aticn in the effort. . We do not know the feeling of the County Supervisor and the teachers in! the ?ounty :but we 1 wish to say that if such movement be made The StaNPARP - will be moat happy to co-operate with them to the limit of iti' means'. THEcorrojf cro; is liuge. Early .in the season 4j was esti mated that this won Id be a record breaking year for a cotton crop. The drought two months ago, caused a general impression that the yield would be belov an average. But a favorable autumn brings up the estimate to something near first calculations. 1 , f ., Whatever forces are" or may be brought to bear upon the cotton market it is a fact that the .supply is too great to stimulate demand. Oae man probably knows as well as another what the prices will be during the yean" ,7 : EXCLUDED FROM U. N MAIL The United States! statutes forbid the use of the United States mail service to fraudulent enterprises and authorises the Postmaster General to issue fraud orders against such parties. This course has been pur sued against 1 Johny ;Wedderbsrn, John Wedderburn & 'Company 'and the -National Recorder. Mail sent to either address will be returned to sender, marked mdicati ing that the party is fraudulent. The Standard will be pardoned f 01 a little padsf action in "I told you so" with regard to the blatherskite Butler and hisopky Mount speech. The- Standard held that it was just like Butler and not a whit too bad for him. Take away that kind of calumny, Satanic 'peryersion and aspersion; with a monstrous - cheek marvelous cunning with rotten spots of consummate folly and you hava little left in Butler, absolutely noth. ing to make him a Jni ted States Senator. .The Southport Standard says that while kneeling in prayerful devotion with the family of her son R W Davis, Mrs. Ann E B Bell was stricken with apoplexy, from which she died the next day, Sunday, the 14th. J TO Tit K MIII MX. A (couimittee of the Alumni Asso elation "of the North Carolina "Col lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Ar h has been appoi.a ted to cbnsider inV advisability of establishing a Textile School in connection with" the coileee. and to do this ;they. wisn to afccermfn the opinion of tbe .miU men ?of the State ; " First; 5 because they are more thoroughly conversant with the r quiremen ts and possibili-, tiea of textile manufacturing, in- the " outh, and are therefore: more com eettions relative to tnis matter aeq ft cm rtat Z3 more fully than anyoi e elee the ameliorating ' influences on manufactured pi oduct of educating eGficiently young men at such school ; and second because the and second because .."the manufacturers thcnustUes will be the indirect bentfi diaries of such thorough tniin ng. To that : end they ask the following qaestions: First. Wht is the present demand for such a school ? Second What are the advantages of a technicilly educated man over a man without this "special educ tion ? Third. What are your views as to how such a school should be estab lished, supported and conducted ? Fourth. Can we expect your hearty cooopera' i- n ? As the College.Board of Directors meet early in December, and as they wish to present the matter fully for their consideration they would ap preciate an early reply. - . v, (LO t$ WILLIAM8, Address O D Francks, CHAS iPEARSON, ; jUommitteQ, A & M College, Ralergb, K.

Turner's Almanac for 1898 is on our desk and we find its pages so full of interesting matter tbat we are loath to lay it down till we hae mentally devoured its contents. It is a most desirable desk companion and cyclopedia of information. The little work costs but ten cents but Its value is incalculable to the in quiring mindr Notice.
