To the KdiUtr: This section of country (and I suppose the whole Mate) has been Hooded with litera ture charging that W. W. Kitcbin was supported by certain attorneys and certain oflicials of the railroads and American Tobacco Company. The primaries for Lenoir county were held on April 25th, and wben the strength of each candidate was called for in the Kinston precinct, the friends of each were "lined" up and counted. livery railroad attor ney, every em ployee of the railroads, and certain interests here owned by the railroads, the American To bacco Company, and all whom these concerns could influence voted solid against Kitchin, and so zealous were they, that all who could vote were there, and even one who lived in an other county and town, was clamor ing to bo counted against Kitchen. Now if there are any who hava been fooled by these tracts which have been circulated to injure Kitchin s cause, I ask them to notice in each town where the aforemen tioned corKrations and trusts have interests to notice how their attor neys, oflicials and employees tote. To notice who they are working for, and especially in the Hast, where the Norfolk and Southern has interests, to note this. It is generally under stood and admitted that the Stand ard Oil Company is behind the Nor- fork and Southern, and its aide rent lumber mills, etc., in this section. The railroads are still in politics and using every means to defeat V. V. Kitchin, the people's choice. I hope the good people of North Caro lina will see to it, that he is nomina ted for governor by an overwhel ming majority. Yours truly, V. A. DoilHITT. Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured.

We ad mit that your prohibitionists will carry the towns, but we are going to sweep the rural districts. We used to hare the negro to stand by whiskey and save it In every elec tion, but while we haven't got the negro any longer, we have got the farmer aud we are banking on bim to take the negro's place," This is the claim, farmers of North Carolina, that the honor men have made from the beginning of this campaign. What do you think of itt W hat of this stud i-d and oft repeated insult that the farmers, that the intelli gent country people of North Caro lina, belong body and soul to the whiskey sellers, and may be count ed noon to stop iuto the poor ig noraut, venal negro a shoes as tlie great refuge and stand by of the liuuor intercatsl For this reason, if for no other, the farmers of the State should re double, and then redouble again their efforts in behalf of prolnbi tion. liet the country vote be so decided, so overwhelming, that never again will friends and hire lings of the saloon dare insnlt the sturdy farmer of the Uld ortn State by such a re licet ion uikiii their manhood and their honor. It was the farmers of North Caro lina who won immortal renown at Mecklenburg Court House. It was the farmers of North Carolina who gave to Alamance ami Moore s Creek and King's Mountain their undying fame. It was the farmers if North Carolina largely In the Civil war who won for North Caro lina the glory of tieing "first at Bethel ami last at Appomattox." To say that the sons of such sires have now degenerated into the will ing slaves of saloon keepers and whiskey interests, and that they may be counted on to take the ne gro's place as the tool and the rat's paw of these men this Is a slan der which, as their spokesman, I cannot too bitterly deny nor ap peal to them too strongly to hurl back at its originator. A world wide movement Is now on against Intemperance anu its tiowers of darkness. On the other side of the earth the Celestial Em pire of China ii making a deter mined, heroic effort to shake off the galling chains of the opium habit, one of the worst forms of in temperance. In far away England the growth of temperauce senti ment is only less pronounced than here. In our own land, North, South, l'Ust and West are agitated as never before. But North Carolina, remember, is the first State in the present tem perauce revival to vote by ballot on prohibition. In all the other States the question has been decid ed by legislative act, and now the whiskey iuterests are claiming that North Carolina's vote will show that the people, that the country people, are not behiud turn move ment of their leaders. North Caro lina, therefore, is the touch stone. Its voice is eagerly awaited in an parts of Am. ica, the reverberation may even reactt to ivirope ana i thay, and if our rural population wili but exert iUo.lf to the utmost, it may be said of North Carolina in l!t08 as it was of Massacbusetts in 1775, that- Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. Been in Its large significance, therefore, the May 2t!lh election affords not only the occasion for a crushing rebuke to the most vlo leut recent lusult to tbe farmers of this State, but it is also the su preme moral opportunity offered them In this generation That they will prove themselves worthy sons of their sires wheu the time comes, I have no rtoubt.

"All our standing timber is esti mated to be somewhere between fourteen hundred and two thousand billion feet," says Emerson Hough in "The Slaughter of the Trees," in the May Everybody's. "If we use forty billions er annum, we can run thirty-live to fifty years at the pres ent rate, provided we do not have anv waste. If we use ose hundred billions per annum, our timber w ill last fourteen h twenty years, on the same basis. If we use one hundred and fifty billions per annum in nine to thirteen vears our timber will all be gone. We have now alxut Hi.v OtKl.tKK) acres in our national re serves. If we had three times that much, we should not have enough. "If it costs twenty acres a Sunday, or fvrty acres a week, or 2,tN acres a year to print one daily newspaper, what docs it cost in acreage to print all the newspapers iu all the cities and towns in America?

Cast up in your mind some of the small demands of industry upon the supply. Our rail roads arc said to uso one-third of the industrial timUr cut for ties.

We annu ally reap for telegraph and telephone poles somewhere between three and four million acres of land. Our tan neries two years ago required 1 ,370, 000 cords of bark. Id the same year we cut 11,858,200 shingles and 3,812,807 laths.

I'nele Johu is a fiue, old, Conner value farmer, as good and true as men are made, but he cannot bo'p lookiug at things jut aa be did when he was a boy, and when he was a boy farming was done with the plow and the bite ruu by hard inuM-le. No one ever thought of attachinc brains to them. As we entered tbe field I'nele John re marked, "You see my staud is not aa good as I w anted. 1 planted a full bushel of seed ami a little thrown in extra. It wimgood cot ton seed; I gut it from the gin and tbe plants came up thick enough in moot places to raise the crust, but in some places they did mil coiiie up at all. A good many of the plants died, though I gave the crop a good hoeing anu Kept tne grass out. I Is-lieve iu clean culti vation, and for this there is no itu plemeut that quite equals the hoe." "My dear I'nele," I replied, "vou "are worth your weight in gold and if you would change soi.ie of your old methods ot rais ing cotton you would soon make enough money to buy yourself and retire from business. "In view of this unpromising crop I want to tell you several things that will le helpful. The world knows a lot more about plant life than it did twenty five years ago. lour first mistake was that you did not thoroughly prepare this laud for planting. It should have been worked until the soil was like an ash heap, :i or 4 inches deep. You did not drain the rows so that there would le 110 wet spots, even ith a heavy rain. Look at the ong spaces where there nre no plants. If tbe soil is properly pre pared there is little danger that there w ill not lie moisture enough for the seeds to germinate, but in most climates and soils there is al ways danger of too much water in the soil. Standing water is death to cotton and corn. Your next mistuke was in get ting gin run seed and planting too many jht acre. If you wanted a clean, vigorous and thrifty family, you would not go aud get a lot of gin-run Isiys and girls." hat do you mean by gin-run hoys and girls!' rather sharply in terposed I'nele John. "I mean," I replied, "boys and girls picked up in the homes of the orphans, without auy kuowledgeof their parentage; you would not feet hve tunes as many as you Intended to raise, judging that enough of (hem would die of natural weak ness or consumption or from other causes to leave tbe proper family. Yet that is w hat you did w ith your cotton; but wo will talk more of this another time. "Y'ou planted too deep and there was hardly strength enough in the little plant to reach the air and it died lefore it could draw support from the soil. The plants were in the main too crowded. They lack ed food and air. That crust on the soil should have leeu broken. It shuts out the air essential to germ ination and growth and aids evap oration. Delay planting till the weather is warm. Cotton is a trop ical plant. Prepare a line seed bed ; nlant shallow not over 1 inch deep, if that depth reaches mois ture and the plants w ill be up in a few days. "Kun the smoothing harrow two or three tunes diagonally across the rows as soon as tbe seed is planted anil again when the plants are '.' or .'I inches tall, this should lie repeated, removing a tooth from the harrow and going astride the rows, as in cultivation, till the plants are l inches high. The har row prunes the roots a little, which tends to give the plant a lower and 'liuibier' habit of growth; it opens the soil to receive air; it promotes growth and destroys weeds. "The hoe is the natural enemy of tbe cotton planter. It kills some weeds, but it finally kills the plan ter financially, and as generally med it does not proierly air the soil, which is the chief end ofcul tivation. "While the cotton plants are small, thoroughly work the spaces between the rows two or three times to a depth of at least 4 inches. This leaves a fine seed lied for the roots to occupy later when they are raring about to find food and water. All later cultivation of plants and middles should be shallow not over an inch and a half deep. This keeps a dust mulch, which checks the rising soil moisture and plant food just at a depth where there are the most root letatoutilize them for plant growth. "A plow is the poorest imple ment with which to work a cotton crop that could well be used." "Tut! tut!" said Uncle John." "What you said about tbe hoe was bad enough and now yon jump on ' to the plow. I have used it all my life and it is a pretty good tool." I "Yes, you have used it all your life and yon have not averaged a third of a bale of cotton per acre in all that period, when on such good land J on should have aver- Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made with Royal Crape Cream of Tartar No Alum.

Y our losses. even at the lower prices of cotton in former years, have for that e riod exceeded fJOO.OOO. Whst have you to show for itt Some old plows and antiquated hoes; if they have not kept yon poor, they have prevented you from getting ahead. There is nothing on a farm that pays greater dividends than the liest teams and tools. Shallow cultivation should he continued as late as practicable. Ou very rich bottom lands after the plants are thiuned to a stand, bar off on each side if they show too rapid growth. This toot-prunes and checks a tendency to make ex cessive stalk. It also gives the plant a hiut that it must commence fruiting. W bat I have said alxnit cotton ia true of corn, only corn requires a deeper seed tied than cotton and different spacing for the plants. The cultivation is practically the same, though local conditions of soil and climate may require con aidei able mollification in the treat ment of the corn plant. The expe rience of the liest farmers must de termine this." Host Common Cause of Suffering.
