trol the action of C
. -j .. iU.j t'ouiK iaa3 con-
ongref-s at the coming
ession? In view of recent opinion Xrr
ed by politicians this qu-,tion is both perti
nent ana important. If the politicans have
th'.Jr way the public demand, whi :h U well
nigh general, regards of politic, that Con
gress shall do something tor the betterment
of the country's finances aud for the preven
tion of thi.-.?ue of more bonds f jrth mony
sharks, will be ignored, and r'ot.-resMonal
legislation be virtually oiiflrwl to th regu
lar appropriation bili.. The argument.0 of
thepolitieiani.sthat it wiil b impossible
for Congress to pui; any ilnaa?ial l-jin'.ati m,
because a bill that t!n Il-publi-an lions';
would pass could not got through the Smi
ate, which will be controlled by neither
party, owing to next y -u's Pro.-i I nti i!
-ampaign and the consequent drawing of
party lines on all important legislation.0 To
aecept that argument is to dvl:iro to the
world that patriotism has boon driven out of
Congress by partisanship, and that the fear
of a loss of votes in the Presidential election
outweighs the demands of the people at large
for financial legislation. The great mass of
the people do not care a ?nap for partisan
ship, although most men are for one or
another reason connected with a political
party and during an exciting campaign be
come partisans to a certain extent. But
when there is no campaign, on the mass
are far more interested iu earning a living
than in partisanship. They have learned i t
their cost that our present system of finance
imposes unnecessary burdens upon the earn
ing of that livelihood. They want tho.-e
burdens removed, and are not likely to be
satisfied with the politicians excuse that
Congress cannot legislate because of parti
sanship. Next year there will he another
Congress elected as well as a President.
That fact should not escape the politicians
mind3.
Although some of the members of the Sons
of the Revolution, the Sons of the American
Revolution and the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution are inclined to h-i fussy and
big-hea led and to make monkeys of them
selves upon occasion, as a wholo those or
ganizations are doing the country good,
parti .'ularly in tho work they are doing to
wards increasing and fostering patriotism iu
our schools, a field which had been, especial
ly in our large cities, largely neglected be
fore it was taken up by these organizations,
and which is hound to havo an important
bearing upon the future of our country.
Tbeso remarks are occasioned by the pres
ence of the Liberty I3!J, which was allowed
t remain in Washington two hours, after
which it resumed its journey from Philadel
phia to Atlanta, where it is to be one of the
exhibits at tho exposition. A great out-door
public reception, under tho auspices of tho
members of tho three societies named and
participated in by officials, citizens and
school children, was hel l in honor of the
bell. Tho Marino Band furnished the music,
and the guard of honor for the historic relic
was made up from, members of the High
School cadets. It is well that all of us should
occasionally stop in our mad rush and brush
up our patriotism a little. It's a thing that
no peoplo can have too much of.

AgHiu.it the Tobacco Trust.
Last July Juilge Charles II. Simon
ton, of the United States court, heard
at Abbeville the argument iu the case
of the Bousacdc Machine Company and
the American Tobacco Company against
y. F. Hmith and other North Carolina
cigarette men. The suit was for in
fringement of the Bonsack cigarette
machine patents by the Biigga ma
chine, invented by W. C. Briggs, of
Winston, N. C. The judge haa ren
dered an opinion, in which it is ad
judged that the Briggs machine is not
an infringement, and tho bill was dis
missed with coeds.
This decision i3 against the tru.st, bo
called. Heretofore the American To
bacco Company, which has the exclu
niG right to the Bonsack machines,
under contract with n yearly royalty
of a quarter of a million dollars has
been, it is claimed, able to control the
market irices for bright tobacco. If
Judge Himonton's decision stands, the
market will bo open to the anti-trust
machine, and manufacturers outside
the trut will be able to compete from
the purchaKe of the tobacco to the sale
of the cigarette.
.Tn course of hi3 decision Judge
Kimouton .aid: "Cigarettes are not
an article of j-iimo necessity: Indeed
their use, if not always deltterious.cnu
Fciirctly be naid to be beneficial. The
puldic mind has been aroused to abus
es following their introduction in im
mense ni!Uitities on the market and
liiaiiy of the states have enacted laws
looking to their suppression. There
can lie no reason for the interference
of the courts iu Ki cuiiug their uuinier
mpUd manufa?ture, uotnitliKtauding
the existeuce of patent lights."

NORTH CAROLINA FORESTRY.
Lumber lielts" Cut at a Rate Which
A ill s ii i; c"iunst the Great
V rests.
The lumber trde in North Carolina
is deserving o careful consideration.
It has le..n growing. rapidly during
the past two decade, aud already
serious inroads have been made on our
forests supplies.
Our timber trade is developing
nljn much the same line as that in
other Southern States, except thit we
are making larger use of the loblolly
and sap pine, which is inJeeJ, now
known on the market as, North Caro
lina pine.
roc mauv years much of our timber
has been shipped out of tho Statu ia
the log t be manufactured elsewhere.
In the Lorthea-iern connties many
thoumdH of logs are annually ship
ped to Norfolk, Kid to oth r poiuts to
be put through the hiw mill an I the
planing mill, and iu the western coun
ties of tha Sttite, mauy thousands of
hard v.ood logs are annually lloated
down the streams into Tennessee.
This custom results in great loss to th3
State, aud there appears to be uo way
to prevent it except by encouraging
the location of saw mills aud planing
mills, and other manufacturing estab
lishments within the boarders of the
State, and this should be done in every
possible way.
The value of the crude lumber pro
duced in the Stato during the past
year, was about as follows:
Value of fuel, domestic and for
manufacturing $ 10.000,000
Value of saw logs at mills 3.000.000
Value of round timber, exp't'd.. 1,0O'J,0jO
Value of railroad ties and hewn
timber of all kinds 500,000
Value of all split lencing, post?,
eto 500.000
Total value of all crude products. J15.00J.000
Manufactured lumber of all kinds $ 7,300,000
Special industries, veneers and
wooden ware 300,000
Cooperage 125,000
Paper mill products (from pulp)
estimated 100,000
Eesinous products (naval stores
etc.) 1,750,000
Tan barks and extracts 45.000
Wagon, buggy and car factories . 600,000
Furniture and repair shops 200,000
Oil of wintergreen and birch .... 30,000
Packing boxes, undertaking cas
kets and agricultural imple
ment manufactories 80,000
Total .. t 10,535,000
Certainly the industries in tho Stato
growing out of our forest products are
of vast importance, and should be en
couraged in every possibly way.
HOW LONG WILL OtJB FOBESTS LAST?
During the past fw decades the great
white pine forests of the North have been cut
nt an enormously rapid rate, and with a
recklessness characteristic of the American
lumberman. During the past few years the
lumbermen in different portions of the coun
try havo been turning their attention to
Southern supplies of pino and hard woods,
and these are now being bought up and cut
at a rapid rate; and before our people conio
to realize our situation, our supposed inex
haustible foreste will be largely removed. In
tho eastern couniies, at the present rate cf
cutting, in less than two decades our sup
plies of pine will have been exhausted, and
the great hard wood forests of tho Piedmont
and mountain counties will in the same time
have be'n cut, or purchased by the mill
inn and held by them as reserve supplies.
The sooner, then, that our people can
bo brought to abandon the long prevailing
belief that they havo more timber than they
know what to "do with, and consequently an?
willing to almost give it away; and the
sooner they can be brought to realize the
fart that tho valuable supplies of timber
whieh they are now selling to the mill men
at the low prices, cannot be replaced in their
day and feneration; the sooner they come
to understand that under our present system
of cutting timber, thev not only use up the
supply belonging to the prespnt generation,
but in destroying the young growth of the
frosts they are destroying tho birth-ribt of
the next generation, without any additional
return to themselves, the sooner will it le
possible to have adopted a wise and con
servative policy which, whilo it permits the
use oi th'3 mature timoer or today, it also
preserves the young forest growth, which is
to be tho timber supply of to-morrow.
Let us understand, then, that our present
timber supply is not inexhaustible; that in
many places it has already been nearly or
quite removed; that in cutting the mature
l roes with characteristic recklessness, we are
also destroying in a lare measure the young
forest growth; that at the present rate of
euttiog. our forest supplies can iast but a
few decades longer; that in the use of our
forests we should do everything possible to
encourage the development within the StAte
of lumber manufacturing jstablishments, in
order that our lumber may be manufactured
at home; and that in cutting our forests
every ellort should be made o protect the
young tree growth. J. A. Holmes, State

FINAL WEATHER CROP RKPORT j
Issued by the North Carolina
State
I
Weather Service.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, for
the past week, indicate arery unfaror
able week. The teruierature was con-
eiderably below the normal, with frosta
on three mornings, damaging tobacco
and other crops considerably. Drought
continues to prevail, practically no rain
having fallen anywhere. Cotton is a
very ioor crop, is nearly all open, and
will be ali gathered much earlier than
usual. All late crops havo been injur
ed by the drought, and turnips are
nearly ruined. Gathering corn is un
der way, but fall plowing continues at
a standstill.
Eastern District. The past week
has been very cool aud dry, with mora
than usual amount of sunshine. Frosts
occurred on the mornings of the 1st
and 2nd. The drought continues un
abated, injuring peas, potatoes and
turnips, aud killing young berry
plants. Wells and streams are low,
and sonie mills have utopiied running.
Cotton, which has opened very rapid
ly and is a poor crop, will probably
be all out by the eud of October. Corn
was Wyond possibility of injury aud
is being housed. Peanuts being track
ed. Rice crop is fair. Second crop
of Iiish potatoes poor. Very little
planting and no fall plowing has been
done.
Ckxtral District. A dry and very
coed week, with frosts on several days,
which damaged immature pea-vines
and killed considerable tobacco which
vH uncut aud some lute corn. High
north to north-east winds prevailed;
wtUher clear and dtistv. Cotton will
hi picked out v i y rapidly. The yield
if sweet potatoes is not good. Gath
ering com ami making molasses are
the chief work of the farmers at pres
ent, nslong as fall plowing is impossi
ble. No ram fell anywhere during the
week; mills on small streams have
stopped uud some wells arc going dry.
Western I ;stkit. 1 rost occurred
on three mornings, which damaged to
bacco considerably, ns thero was moro
uncut in this district than in others.
lVa-vines were also injured and some
late corn. Drought continues un
abated, and turnips are practically
ruined. Gathering corn and digging
potatoes are piogrt-Fsing. Tho cotton
crop appears to bo nearly all open.
More than the usumI amount o; feed for
stock has been put up. Some farm
ers are trying to sow wheat.
No ie to Conr.rspuN dents. This is
the last bulb tin for the season of 1895.
The director de-iits to express his
obligations and thanks to all crop correspondents-,
without vhosc assistance
the issue of the bulk-tin would be im
possible. The bulletin will be resumed
in April, 1810, when it is hoped the
In-arty co-operation of crop corres
pondents who are now experienced in
the work mav again be secured. II.

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review. A Hope
ful Spirit Reflected.
R. G. Dun A Co., in their weekly review ot
trade for the past week say: Commercial
failures in the third quarter of 1895 were 2.
792 with liabilities of 32,1C7,179, averaging
111,521 per firm against $ 10,028 last year,
about 15 ier cent. more. The rate of com
mercial mortality, 231 failures in a quarter
for every 1,000 firms in business, is lower
thnn last year and the proportion of default
ed liabilities to tho solvent, represent! by
payments through clearing houses, is but
2.49 ?ier $1,000 against 2.77 last year.
Highly important comparisons of prices
this week show, about S'ptemler 3d, the
lowest range e.ver known for whol.-Miln
prices of all commodities, notwithstanding
advances since March of 20 jt cent, in cot
ton goods, 40 er cent, in boob and sh'",
and 53 ht cent, in iron and steel product,
while in wool -n goods there has liecn Hcnrcc.
ly auy advance, and in all food products,
taken togth-r, a fail of 17 percent.
R' f orts from oth r cities at the end of thi
quarter aro highly hearing in facts recorded,
and reflect a hopeful spirit. Beyond ques
tion, the quarter his shown astonishing l n
provement in some brauchep, and retail dis
tribution has generally i-et.-u good, though
not commensurate with sj-eculative w hole
sale purchases as prices were rising. H'-nce
there Is a marked decrease iu buying, which
somfl branches of industry begin to feci.
The money market is stronger wilb heavy
demands from the interior. All fears of c ld
exports have ceased. Failures ia threj lays
have beeu 207 in the United State agaiti-t
219 la-t year and 41 in Canada agalurt 41
last year.

Tr.sr.sHrE it.
The exercises of Tenneiwe day Wrought
the larg'-st crowds w lib h the Exposition has
yet seen, A large party came down from
Nashville, headed by the director of the
TeuncKsiM! Centennial. Iarge parties also
came from Knoxvill-, Memhi and CiiH
tanooga, and an enthusiastie nwptlon was
prepareI for them by Tennessueans In At
lanta. The i'xercLss lasted for svcral
hours in the Auditorium, begiuning at 11
o'clock, after whl "h the visitors sjient the
day in sight-seeing. The fiooplo of Atlanta,
came out very niierniiy in nonor oi ien-nesi-e,
and the turnstiles at 2 o'clock showed
more admissions thin on any otnT aay. ini
city is f iller of strangers than It has been
heretofore.
Will Cotton Jo to lO 1-a Cents C
Mr. Hector I). Line, who urged tho farm
ers t wenty days ago not to make a hasty dis
position of their crops, has written another
letter to the cotton growers ol the loin,
advising them that they are m astern of tha
situation and begging them to bold tbeie
cotton until they get ten and one-nau cenw
a pound.
The Nuw Orleans Picayune give the fol
lowing adtl'c:
"It is to be hofie I that the cotton produ
cer", w hile determined to aell their eotton
at the b"t possible pri-f will not become In
fatuated with the notion that there can b
no limit to the Improvement, and
quentlv, stubbornly hold their cotton off the
market. Su'-b a iliey would b extremely;
foolish. Ai l'rig m a go-sl price La In eight
it would he w iser to ship regularly so as to
fel the demand without glutting the mark
et. The accumulation of a vatt supply of
b'll eottea on plantations would bava
a disu.trousefT-t later on. The advaoea
which ha taken place ia a most excellent
thing, and tho producers owe much to tha
simulative excitement which baa aided tha
improvement; but they abould not allow
themselves to be carried away by it and nej
leet a favorable opportunity to market their
eroos to gjod advantage.
"Opinion as to the probabla size of tha
crop, ot course, diffrs oonslderahly. tut
there has Is-ena general disposition to lower
estimates. Conservative people now appear
to pin faith to a r q of
while not a few ex p i as low as
balej., nod one prominent operator is fredlt-
d with hiving etpress-i th belief that It
wo il l not s.irpr.-e him If tbe yield were to
drpl-eiow 6 00,000. Here u certainly a
vari.ty of tiw t chose from t tut
crops go now vl y mm be admitted that
liwiirgertoubirttimawrt calls for a rery
short crop.
