Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, before Southern Com mercial Congress at Muskogee, Ok lahoma. I Upon the close of the war in 1865 the high price of cotton seems to have greatly influenced the minds of the farmers of the Southern States and induced North Carolina to become largely a cotton state; the cultivation Selecting knowledge as his resumed 09 many farms where it theme, Mr. White delivered a power ful discourse and one which caught and held the attention of every one in the vast audience. Rev. Mr. White is a most entertaining speaker and many who heard him Sunday declared that it was the best commencement sermon they had ever heard. Monday afternoon the literary ad dress by Dr. H. E. Gurney, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Monroe. The subject of Dr. Gurney's address was Values. His address was full of the best thought and great ly enjoyed by the large audience. He drew many beautiful illustrations in distinguishing between value and price. Dr. Gurney is not only a man of thought but he is a most pleasing orator. No one could have heard him without being benefited. The ad dress was preceded and followed by splendd music by the Monroe Orches tra. Also diplomas to three young ladles who graduated this year and certificates were delivered to twelve pupils who completed the seventh grade. The graduates were Misses Iiessie Belk, F.lise Davis and" Klgiva McCain. The following bovs and girls received certificates: John Davis, Hugh Ilroome, .Merrll Kairchild, Wil Ham Massey, Frank McCain, Henry Wolfe, Mary Cunningham, Mamie Gamble, Hessie Gordon, Louise Mc Cain, Thelma Sanford. Mary Steele. Monday night a play, "The Time of His Life," was given by the High M'lioot students attended with a con- nad oeen aDandoned and the gin house and cotton press became unfit for use. The farmer was Impressed with the idea that he could raise cot ton and with the money received from its sale buy everything he needed, both necessaries and luxuries, and there was no thought of economy. Cotton was the security required for advance of provisions on indulgence in accounts. It was necessary for the farmer to have advances in order to make his crop; and he was compel! ed to raise cotton. In this period the mortgage or lein on the crop to be produced that year was introduced; as seeuritv for advances of goods, es pecially" supplies for the farm. But It was not confined to this class of goods; it was good security for any kind of goods which the advan cer had for sale Thus though the farmer adopted the one crop system, more from ne cessity than choice. It is true the price of cotton was higher than had been in former times, but the price of what the farmer purchased had risen equally. The poet tells that distance lends enchantment to the view, and robes the sky in azure blue"; so the postponement of the na: 01 settlement gave the future a rad'ant hue to t he farmer and lie could but believe that "tomorrow would fulfill the expectations of to day."

Of course the members were some- chases, thinking that prices would re main nigh and he would be able to settle for anything that he wished. It Is remarkable how long the farmer continued this custom, al though each year he came out In debt what abashed and unnerved when which he expected to pay by lncreas- they found themselves in the midst of the good town of Waxhaw the birthplace of Andrew Jackson but after spending some time on the boulevards they gradually regained their composure and were In flue fet tle to touch off the soul-stirring mel odies. Waxhaw people were well pleased with the orchestra. The school this year under the firm and careful superintency of Prof. T. A. Haywood has made much lug the acreage of his cotton; and his credit was valued not by the amount of cotton he produced, but by the number of acres he had planted. Ccrn or o(hor grain, stock or hops, were not recognized as good security; the merchant preferred to buy these ai tides, which composed the larger part ot his f.oods, beyond the limits of the State, or perhaps he was un willing to let the farmers know the enormous profit he was charging on progress, having been one of tho best these supplies fifty, seventy-five and terms Blnce the opening of the school.

Charles Trull, South Carolina boy tinder sentence of dpath in Mecklen burg county for murder of Sidney Swain, an aged merchant of Char lotte, yesterday lost his appeal for a new trial In an opinion handed down by the Supreme court. Chief Justice Clark wrote the opinion in this case Jinding no error In the trial before Judge Shaw. The offense for which Trull will pay the death penalty unless his sentence Is commuted by Governor Craig was committed in Charlotte nearly a year ago. It was on the morning of May 17th that Sidney Swain, an aged merchant, waa found near his own home with his head crushed In, evidently by a short length of pipe which lay near. Sus picion Immediately centered about Trull, for the reason that on the day before he had made earnest efforts to borrow money and yet on the even one hundred per cent for six or eight months credit. This custom was almost universal when cotton was the principal crop and It was generally true that the people were In straightened circum stances. At the same time In most of the counties there were men who raised corn and meat to sell and who had money to loan, made by this man ner of farming. The trouble was that the farmer brought ruin upon himself by endeavoring to raise something to buy corn with instead of raising it upon the farm. I'liiismil Lack of Cash When I became connected with the Department of Agriculture in 189H the almost universal lack of cash with the farmers made them a dependent and not an independent class of rit zens as they formerly were. This caused me to Inquire if there was ever a time when the Southern far mer had any money or had this al ways been his condition. Being old enough to have been farming in 1861 (going from my farm into the Con federate army in 1861 and return ng 1865) knowledge of the condition of the farmers at that time answer ed my question the farmer then was the most Independent class of people; and when a man In town deeded mon ey, he did not go to some other city to borrow.vbut went Into the country ly every Southern State. J have not round the man who said he had .seen it. r The boys sang: "All I want in this creation Is a pretty little wife and a big plan tation. If ever I get back again, I lead a dif ferent life. Save my money, buy a farm, take Di nah for my wife." The negroes sang: "If I had a scoldin' wife, I'd whip her shures you born; I sen' her down to New Orleans, And trade her for corn." Two ballads, which generally ex press conditions or the times, at this time recognized farming as a profit able business, due to a supply of corn. The institution of the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture un der power or the Constitution was au thorized by the Legislature In 1877. The priclpal business from that time to 1899 was the analysis of fertiliz ers, as a very poor quality or goods had appeared In the State, the uubli- cation or bulletins and exhibition or the products or the State at national and interstate expositions.

The State could no wait until the boys were educated, but the development or the adult farmer, while giving the young people every opportunity for preparation to meet the situation when they should come to maturity. That the Department ha made greater advances in its work than any other Southern State is due to the attention that it has given to the development of the adult farmer. CUol.L'llA IX Pol I.TKV YARDS.

Moreover, Trull was heard to have made certain statements relative ' to his connec tions with some offense and the pos sibilty of provng it against him. He was arrested.

In 1910 North Carolina imports were $59,000,000, while the cotton crop was $54,000,000. The farmers took notice and In 1911 the Imports of feeds had declined to $39,000,000, and In 1914 to $20,000,000. The fact that our farmers had produced the amount of feed that our report shows caused the North Carolna farmers to be able to weather the storm caused by the decline In price.of cotton last year with less Inconvenience than those of any other state. There was supported last year $3,000,000 In leed and cattle. Home Owing Yeomanry Among the first problems to be operaiion which is now lost hv indi vidual handling. This has often been demonstrated; It is singular that ihe farmer neglects It. As I wrote the Secretary of Agriculture, the National Department can not formulate a Ms tern suitable to every seciion and pass 11 aown 10 tne farmers, but it must start in ihe neighborhood where the goods are produced and combine the farmers Interested; then let two neighborhood unite them a town ship, county etc. But the farmer is impatient: he expects to do things on his rami In a year that is about as long as he will quietly wait ror anv thing. He Is learning and this will come a he sees It is the practice of oilier professions, and the crop four or five years hence r.nd not this vear Is to be the aim. Itight Thing at Wrong Time Co-operation or working together solved now are to secure a home own- In all matters where there Is a coni ng yeomanry on farms that make: inon inieiest. The right thing done meir support is tne great aesidera- at the wrong time or in the wrong turn and that they may produce food and feed enough to supply the State. The State was prosperous under this system and we think will be again when it is restored. There Is much truth in the old darkey's position, who was going along In ragged clothes and badly worn shoes, with a sack of flour under his arm and a side or bacon on his hand. Being asked why he dd not buy less rations and more clothes, replied: "Boss when my back or my reet calls on me for supplies, I can put It off with a promise, but when this (hitting his hand on his breast pocket) calls, I am bound to have the cash." Farms which furnish the cash are needed. t -( tpi'ratfon In Selling and Ituying We seem to P-.ive Inherited the characteristics ot our rathers. The North w as sell ltd in hamlets w here they were closely associated and In- r:leil I lirinselves more or less In tie affairs of their neighbors, while the Southern man went to his farm and seldom saw his neighbor except on busii ess, hence the northern man Is more easily brought Into co-opera- non. Miner trait can be developed to an extent which is unpleasant If not unprofitable. There usually Is as much In the sell ing or the crop as in the making and a good amount can be saved by co- way is as harmful as if the intention had been wrong. The followine an ecdote illustrates this: John on a (rip to tow n bought a pair of pants which fitted him except they were two inches too lonu. thinking his wife could rem edy this Arriving at home where his sister and niece were visiting he stated what a bargain he had made and asiied his wife to fix em so that he could wear them to church next day. She replied, "John, you know this is Saturday night and that I have no tiine to fix your pants." After supper the niece quietly got the pants and rut off two inches to help aunty so that I'ncle John could wear hiV pants to church. The sister thought, "I know Sarah is tired and I'll fix brother's pants so he can wear them." She got the pants, cut off two inches and hung them up. After eleven o'clock, the weary wife. Just as she had Intended to do all the lime, savs: "Well. I'll fix John's pants," and she did and hung them up again, and each of the three went to bed feel ing that John could wear his pants.

The Austrians and Germans are putting rorth an effort the extent or which has never been approached in Ihe history of the war. Throughout, virtually the entire length of the eastern front the Teu tonic Allies are encaged with the Russians, while in the west, in ad dition to their attacks around Ynres the Germans are on the offensive at many points. At some places thev are being attacked by the French. British and Belgians. tar up in the Russian Baltic provinces, heretofore untouched bv the war, the Germans are attempting to advance toward Libau and R-ea; on the East Prussian frontier they are engaged in a series of big bat tles and with a big gun are bombard ing at long range, as they did Dun kirk, the Russian fortress at Grod no; In Central Poland they have had to defend themselves against a Rus sian attack; In western Galicia they are attempting with all their strength to smash the Russian Hank and com pel the Russians to abandon the Car pathian passes, which they gained at such cost during the Winter. In this western Galician battle the Germans claim to have made a still greater advance and to have crossed the Wis lok River which, until a few days ago, formed part of the Russian front, and to have put their hands (irmly on Dukla Pass. In conjunction wiih this attack from the west the Austrians urt- at tempting to drive ihe Russian.- trotn Lupkow pass farther to the east and w ith success according 10 the German accounts. In all the Germans claim 10 have taken 4 0,nnti Russian prison ers since the olien-ive was under taken last Saturday night. The Aus trians put the number at more than "O.lMlil and express the belief that the whole Russiau Third Army will be destroyed. These reports show that the Aus-tro-Gernian army is meeting with the greaiesi success on the norlhern slopes of the western Carpathians for towards the upper Vistula the Kus-Ha:i- aijpi-ar to be in their ol-l po sitions. Despite the claims of the Austrians and Germans, the Rus.-iau repre sentatives in the European Capitals reiterate that the victory has been greatly exaggerated and Ihe public is waiting to hear what Grand Duke Nicholas. Commander-in-Chief of the Russian forces, has to say about it. The Germans also claim a series of successes in the west. They report they are coniinuing their proiress southeast of Ypres, which, however, hardly Is bourne out by Field Mar shal French who says that Ihe Brit ish have recaptured more of the trenches which they had lost on Hill No. CO and that fighting is still pro gressing in that neighborhood, while elsewhere the Germans have shown no disposition to attack. There are reports that the Ger nans are about to make another determin ed effort to take Ypres, which is con sidered the key to Hie French coast ports. The I'all Mall Gazette -ays: "It Is folly to say that Ypres has more of political than of military Im poriance," and adds; ' "The Germans would be more en- ' couraged by success at Ypres than by anylhing since the fall of Antwerp. If such an event occurs, we must In stantly recognize It and admit it to be a defeat and a grave one. In place of a party Cabinet, a National Minis try ought then to be formed, and a new military levy made. Happily, there is yet no need to anticipate a. retreat from Ypres, much es.. a Ger man march to Dunkirk and Cala!'." Other German claims relate to suc cesses in the Woevre where the Ger mans say in an attack along ihe nenh side of St. Mihiel wedge, they look upwards of 2, Out) prisoners, and that they repulsed French mtatks on the southern section or the wedge near Fllrey. This entirely disagrees with the French account of the a lions.
