It la the humble hay crop. It i not usually rated, a acrop, so highly as is cotton or tobacco. But in 1902 it was of more value than either.

It will be seen from the above that corn and minerals alone exceeded in value the grass crop produced in The government report for August gives some figures that show a very flattering prospect for the hay crop of 1903. The report says: Preliminary returns indicate an in crease of 0.3 per cent, in the hay acre age: condition, 12.2, in 1902; 84.1 in 1901, and a nine-year average of 84 full crop of clover indicated well up to high medium grade. This wonderfully abundant hay crop will more than compensate lor any de ficiency of value In corn and wheat so that it may be said with assurance that 1903 hat been a year of unexam pled prosperity to the farmers of the country. The United States might better af ford to sacrifice its entire mineral and metal utput, or Us wheat and cotton crops, qr IU corn crop, than to lose Its harvest of hay and the forage of its grazing lands. Coal and iron cannot make vitality, but the grasses are turned Into flesh and blood, and that Is the true wealth of any country. The great wonder is that more com munities do not devote more attention to hay raising. In the eastern part of Carolina nature is prolific in respect to the hay crop. Yet we find carload after carload of hay from the west voming in and taking out a part of the spare cash realized from an uncertain cotton or tobacco crop.

Not long ago the whole Stale was hocked by the. story of a foul murder committed over in Jones county. Some one had fiendishly put to death one of the, most estimable citizens in the coun ty, and the murdered man was no other than Mr. P. G. Simmons, father of our senator from this State. The friends and neighbors of Mr. Simmons keenly felt their loss, and were enraged at the "deep damnation f his taking off." It would not have required much to fan the outraged sense of justice into a flame, and drive the neighbors to wreak summary ven geance upon the negro who was held to be accountable for the crime. At this point the true nobility of character possessed by Senator Sim mons asserted itself. He turned his face sternly against any Infraction of the legal and orderly course that jus tice is wont to pursue, and besought bis neighbors to withhold their hand. The incident has been noted exten sively both within and without the State. The following it from the Lou isville Herald. It Is manly and to the point: Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, is a southern gentleman who re fuses to depart from the old-time dem ocratic regard for manhood and fair play, respect for law and reverence for authority. His father was recently murdered by "parties unknown." Sus picion fell heavily upon a negro, who was arrested. There was danger Of aba prisoner's being lynched until Senator Simmons himself appealed to tiis neighbors to do nu vtnlotuui Vmt let the man have a fair trial. Such action on the part of a leading south ern man, under the most painful cir cumstances, deserves the warmest com mendation. Lawless outrages are, the senator from North Carolina knows, the most deadly foes of security for the white man, and the white women and the white home of the south. - Lynch ing makes for anarchy and under an archial conditions the ignorant black becomes an Infuriated beast. It is only by rigid, uniform enforcement of the law that he can be made useful and obedient. Abolish law and bebeoomes a savage. : ,t , . ,,: Thb FBeb Prkss had the pleasure of welcoming Hon.

His address here was highly appreci ated, and undoubtedly will have great weight in the dispensary campaign in HEX we consider the great strides made in al the navies of the world in the last twenty-five years it seems almost an impossibility to predict what wiil oc cur in the materiel of the navy in the coming twenty five years. Yet WE CANNOT EXPECT GREAT ER STRIDES than have been made in the last quar ter of a century, for the materiel of all navies from the beginning of time has been of SLOW, THOUGH CONSTANT, GROWTH. No great or swooping change has been made in any navy in any one yenr. IT IS THE STRONGHOLD OF THE NAVY DEPART MENT TODAY THAT NO PARTICULAR FADDIST CAN Rl'IN THE NAVY, BY THE INTRODUCTION OF ANY INDIVIDUAL FAD. n . at fhe ship of the hour is a "compromise," as it was in the begin ning and over will be where wise counsel shall prevail a com promise with respect to the various elements involved, such ai the "tonnage," "speed," "coal endurance," "armor" and "ordnance," as well as habitahility of of lice rs and men. This last, of course, means not only act mil living quarters, but room for food, clothing and for many of the modern necessities or accessories of our present civ ilizationcall them "luxuries" if you will. BUT MEN WILL NOT LIVE EITHER AFLOAT OR ASHORE IN THE MAN NER IN WHICH THEY DID FIFTY NAY, TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, AND WE MUST NOT EXPECT IT. aj For these reasons our ships have grown in size to leviathans eince we find that we cannot get the fight out of 13,000 tons that we can out of 16,000 or 18,000 tons, and this last figure seems to be the limit for readiness in handling, with a fair proportion of PILES!

Then, again, the resources of the nation are a great factor in the game of naval war. IT IS ONLY THE RICH NATIONS OF THE EARTH THAT CAN INDULGE IN THIS GIGAN TIC GAME. No wonder that poor nations still build small ships or try to make the semblance of a naval defense with them or with torpedo boats, though all classes of ships have their SPECIAL SERVICE in all navies. i t n t But man the combative animal that he has been from the be ginning of time, when he fought his battles or killed his game with a bludgeon will today do what he can with the weapons which hfe has at hand, whether such be a battle ship or the grotesque attempt at defense of the "submarine" or of the flying machine, equally inefficacious. fillliillliuZujJ It'll m mi FORMS OF LITERARY EXPRESSION By Dr. MAURICE PRANGS EGAN, Literary Critic RENCH literary art dominates the form, of expression which, for want of a better name, we call the novel. The march of events and the complexity of modern life have become so sublime and amazing that Mel chior de Vogue expresses a truth we all know when he says of the progress of Germany, "IT WOULD REQUIRE A SHAKESPEARE, DOUBLED BY A MONTES QUIEU, TO DESCRIBE THE LIFE OF THIS COUNTRY DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS." a? Similarly the life of all civilized countries, as depicted in his tory which, when not a mere collection of annals, is as personal as fiction requires that the author should be SOMETHING MORE THAN A LYRICAL ROMANCER. There must be in him-- a stronger element than the mere desire to chant or to, recite great events. As depicted in the novel, which is not only the history of the mind, but the essentials from which the historian must in the future draw much of his material, LEFJT IS 4-NO LONGER 'A MERE SPECTACLE, with red fire fhuning Jiere and trfere aid the torchbearing Hymen at the end. Whether it is welf that a form of expression, which was gay at times, more often.-at least cheerful and always exciting, should have become a vehicle for the consideration of all sorts of prol question at present ftp' OuU: .

The mere clamping of one girder of steel to another and facing the whole structure with granite is telling an artistic lie in stone. , But, on the other hand, a wonderful thing ia wrought aye, a miracle for civilization -whenever an artist, archi tect or sculptor, is allowed to place in a public square a monument, building or statue which is a true product of the genius of this American people, and it behooves us to remember an adage as old as Athens that THE BEAUTIFUL HAS ITS ORIGIN EST THE USEFUL. m ,a4aiMayfr OFFICERS .
