Our reader should not overlook the significance of the article that we piittlishrtl last week froiu the ' pen of Prof. W". F. Massey, ln is ImrrlliniMl tlinn IrsnMf Wlllllltrilv 1111 al'ri. culture in all the South. The high praise that be ave this county in saying that it was the most progmt sive farming oiniiiiuinly in the Slate is ileitervetl, we lielieve, ami it is highly appreciated This tl-s not neeetssarily meau that our land is the richerit or that we are at preseut making the biggest crops. It does mean, however, more than this. It means that the people here are giving more real study to the business and are more eager to learn and to adopt those methods and improvements that tend tn ele vate the calling, make the business more profitable and to make coun try life easier and happier for the present generation and more at tractive to the routing one. The truth of this statement means much, and our iieople should take it to heart and press oil. A few years ago there was a great hurrah alsiut progress iu the towns, while nothing was said atsmt the development of the rural districts. This is changing. Of course, the progress of Isith town and country should really keep pace with each other. Itutat present there is more real improvements in the rural dis tricts than anywhere else. There is not necessarily uiore money Is'ing piled up, but in the things that make life easier, sweeter, anil more worth while the country com nullities that are trying are scor ing a notch ahead of their brethren iu the towns. The other day a law yer iu one of the good counties of the State said to the writer: "Our towu is not improving and prob ably will never lie much larger than at present, but the county is going ahead." Towu improvement hits been taking on too much the form of mere increase in population or business. County improvement is more of an intellectual, moral aud spiritual uplift an well as mere material prosperity. May it go on and on. "I know that there is nothing left for me in the world now except what I can realize through my chil dren," saitl a man whose head is silvering, to the writer. And pub licly a well known business man of Monroe saitl the other day that he was satisfied to live for his chil dren. We all want to get a little more of this doctrine into our heads. A few men in any coin ina nity who take the cause of the chil dren to heart will revolutionize things. Au earnest man of this county has been in the presence of the writer since this article was begun feeling almost despondent over the opposition that he bud encountered in an earnest etl'ort to establish a good school iu his neigh borhood. He aud others have worked like men for the cause, yet people who have sense enough to know better aud ought to have patriotism enough to do bettsr, are striving to clog the wheels and stop the work. "It docs look hard on us who are trying to do some thing to lie hindered and frustrated as we are," lie said. "But," he continued, "we will keep on and succeed. Our homes are there ami we can't get out without sacrificing them, and we can't sacrifice the training of our children, so there is nothing left but to keep it up till we wiu, and then the good will be equal to all, aud more of the trouble that we have undergone." True. The glory of building np, of leav ing something to show that we have lived, to do some good for those about us as well as for ourselves Is worth something. It Is the laurel crown. It is tno victor s wrentn 'The enrse of the age is the money standard that we have set up as the measure of suet,'' aid a man the other day whose profes sion brings him in contact with every phase of life, "the mad rush for money, the counting of every thing as naught if it does not pile up dollars, the saciificingof every thing to personal aggrandizement. The same thing is rotting the fouu dations of our political life. The idea of public service on the part of public men has given way to the desire for personal gain, and set fish news has taken the place of patriotism." These wonls are true. They do not mean that there are uo honest men in public life God forbid but they do mean that pub lie careers are no longer sought as channels of patriotism and honor, but as means to the com moo end of the times: personal poveraud gain. The gain may Iw the ntere salary atlas-tied to the place; or it riay lay the tsiwcr that gives Ihe opMirtu uity to make money. Whatever it is, the result has become the same. That result is the desire for popu larity rather than service. The sails are trimmed for reelection, and everything is suUirtlinutcd to this. There is no leadership. All this goes hack to the rtmt of the evil. As iu the days of Solomon, so it is today: the love of money not money itself is the n4 of all evil. As long as our chief ipiestion is, "What is he worth." instead of what he is, so long will the pro posed remedies for evils lie mere suerfif iaditiett, ointment oil tlte brandies when the trunk is rotleu. No sensible man inveighs against wealth ami its accumulation. It is necessary. Material prols'rny is the basis of all general happiness. It is the false standards that have lieeu set up. The wealth of the country should Is- its servant, Hot its uiaster. It should elevate in stead of degrade, because it gives the means of intellectual, moral ami spiritual advancement. Let the grand old South go on iu the accu mulation of wealth, welcome the gcucral prosperity anil the indi vidual successes Work for prog- res in the towu and iu the country. Hut welcome it all as a means to better things, not as an end. Let us strive to make ami do things, for no man who is "slothful in busi- is" is worth much, but let us stand upon our wealth and reach out lor a higher intellectual life, a sweeter social one, a deeper spirit ual one, not crawl umlerthat wealth like slaves and grovel before it like dull worshircra of pagan stocks. North Carolina used to In- noted for plain living aud high thinking. Shall we change that high renown for one less uoblef Mr. J. P. Kerr of Asheville, who is a man of some note in his sec tion, has written a letter to the News and Observer expressing his itleas aUiut the object of the meet ing of the Cotton (2 rowers' Associ ation that is to take place iu Ashe ville on the lith. Among other bits of logic based upon a fallacious con- ceptiou of the subject, he says: fan the South continue to de nounce John 11. Rockefeller for fix ing the price of coal oil, and the Armours for fixing the price ol Is-ef, or liny other man or set of men for fixing the price of any thing, when our jMtiple openly and without apparently one single doubt as to their right to do so, meet and fix, arbitrarily, by com bination and it pledge to stand by it, the price of the largest and most necessary commodity on this conti nent! I have not se'U or heart! of newspaper that has suggested that there was even an improprie ty, to say nothing of wrong, in such a meeting for such a purpose. "The cotton growers will give hy their promised meeting, the most potent endorsement to trust ami monopoly that has ever lieen given iu this country, and the wonder to me is that the Southern press, Dy their marvelous dumbness on this fiucstion, seems to lie either afraid to express itself or else has reached the conclusion that it ought to stop the fight it has lccn prosecuting so long ami go in and get ny wrong methods what it has not succeeded iu securing by right." Mr. Kerr is unnecessarily alarm etl. He has visions of a bugaboo, He hits flown many miles out of the orbit of reason in order to jump at a conclusion. There is no more analogy between the Standard Oil Company and the Cottoti Associa tiou than there is between Mr. Kerr's reasoning ami good logic.

If the farmers can't organize lo say how much they ought to have for a commodity that they have made themselves out of the ground, not by manipulating the market ami cornering the product of soineUrily else's work and sandbagging all those who would engage iu the same business, who should have a right to organi.e! The Is-ef trust or th oil trust kills Ihe prtsluivr ami robs the consumer. The pi ice of their raw products and the price of tint product to the consumer have no relation, and Imth are strangers to the law of supply ami demand. To make Mr. Kerr's analogy hold good, the cotton asso ciation would not only have to con trol all the cotton produced iu the country aud force its consumption at an arbitrary price, but it would have to lie composed of other men than those who made the cotton by uo aid but that of the soil and Husky.

Not less praise belongs to Japan for her magnanimity and noble self sacrifice. She has surrendered her self interest and her just de mands in the interests of humanity and peace. She has not only aliau doiicd legitimate claims, but has yielded up territory which by the laws of war she was entitled to keep. It would have Ihs-ii U-tter iu the long run if her demand for an indemnity hail been enforced. The establishment of the piinciple that a defeated nation must pay a large imleuiiiily would have Im-cii ol incalculable lsnelit its a deter rent of possible wars in the future. Peace and humanity might have been safeguarded and more blond shed avoided. Nothing more whole some could be imagined than the alisolutc confirmation of the indem nity principle which Bismarck in troduced, though for radically dif ferent reasons.

In excising his real weakness Japan has already helHtl the Russian masses to au uiiilfrstuuiliug of their capacity to tttain their rights when nccasinu irises, liy turning the Czar's de feat into disaster Japan would have made his loss his subjects' gain. lint Japan had to consider the tact that to continue the war meant the xpenilitiire of l, 000,000 a day a terrible fact, as her own iituhaa sador has said, even at the end of a victorious campaign.
