Ashe, From His Moun tain Retreat, Writes on Timely Topics Waynesvllle. N. C, Aug. 27, 1903. Editor of The Morning Post: For a tired man an overworked man, who needs rest there Is no place com parable to Waynesvllle. This Is the ideal place for an overtaxed system to recover a natural tone. Rest Is in the very air. It is always placid and serene. Even the summer clouds, seem to be at rest on the surrounding moun tains. One sees them they do not move they hang there for a time, and then disappear. They are absorbed cy the dry atmosphere not dissipated by the winds. In fact the weather here is detaxhed. from operations of the Bureau. Generally speaking," every third day an area of low pressure comes down the east side of the Rocky moun tains and "through "the Dakotas and Nebraska to Kentucky, whence It pro ceeds by one of four usual routes to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It Is seldom that the Influence of such a storm ex tends to this vicinity. Neither, on the other hand, does the Gulf storm that follows the Atlantlo coast and Involves Ithe coastal plains disturb the serenity of this sequestered dale. Indeed our wenthcr Is almost exclusively local.. And not merely Is It "the land of the beautiful sky", but many Ipvely and enchanting scenes attract the eye in the picturesque ' valley. Often one Is reminded of Rassllns and is gently wooed to "listen with credulltyto the whisherings of fancy." Still we re member that there Is a practical w-orld elsewhere; and notes the discord of conflicting Interests -among the busy men of the lower plains. Things appear to be somewhat out of Joint. . . Some good stocks r.nd bonds have lately lost a quarter of their former value. Mills -closed or running at a loss. Money scarce. ."--hird to bear, largely increased by In- of the unusual . exactions of govern ment. Tobacco the culture of which has been greatly extended In the east and southward finding no purchasers. hlle cotton, on the other hand, which a few years ago was far below the cost of production, now commands a price that the mills cannot afford to pay. With regard to these two commodi ties, the regular course of the market nas Deen interfered with: in the one case by an expected purchaser not buy ing; in the other, by an unexpected purcnaser appearing on the scene and sending, the market skyward. The rule or supply and demand still holds good, but there are variations. With regard to tobacco, the demand is checked. With regard to cotton, a bold clique stepped in, added force to the demand. bought up the scant supply, set the pnee at their own figures and have gained six millions of dollars by their purchases. Some notable economic questions have arisen from their opera tions. Having cotten at this high level. one asks "What will they do with it? Apparently, propose that the average price of the next crop shall be at least ten cents. The great bulk of the crop can be marketted by March, and con tracts can be made for the delivery of cotton at ten rents up to that time. So It is now within the power of the southern business men te sell the crop ai ten cents. This is an unexpected development, and the situation. is large ly due to the actions of Brown. Hayne and their associates. " It Is true that a little later they may turn the tables around and be on the bear side: but at least for the present, the crop can be sold at ten cents; and as high as that figure is, the outlook seems to favor the bulls rather than the bears. Perhaps the following figures may be of interest to some of your readers. On September 1. 1901, we had a stock of 943,000 bales of American cottonand the crop was 10,680,000 bales. So the supply to September 1902 was 11,623,000 bales. On September 1, 19Q2 the stock was 800,000 bales: so the mills took that 10,823.000 bales; and some of' the mills stopped and others did not run full time. Beginning the next year with 800,000 bales, we had a new crop of about 10,800,000 bales. Making a supply for the year Just closing of 11.600,000 bales: irhlle the stock is about 525,000 bales. So the mills during the year Just clos ing have taken 11,075,000 bales. And during the past two months many mills have stopped. Had the price of cotton been lower, doubtless the. mills could have taken il.300,000 bales. During the coming year, should there be plenty of cotton , at a moderate price, the mills would certainly take 11,500.000 bales. We start out with a supply of, say, 525,000 bales, and at the end of .the season, September 1904, there will probably be as much as that in stock So to sup- iply the mills a crop of 11.500.000 is needed. There is a fair promise of a good yield. The crop may run up to 11.500.000 bales: but if so, there will be none too much. Even with a crop of 12,000,000 bales, there w ould not be more than a million bales In stock Septem ber. 11904. While no one can forecast what the price will "be, for It may be much more than ten cents and maybe considerably . less, the probobilities are that the present price of futures' for January' and later months-will be sus tained for spot cofton when those months are reached. The best of Jt, too. is that southern men can" now re gard the future of cotton growing as being on a substantial basis. The world can readily absorb a" crop of twelve million bales, while such "a pro duction need not be expected any two years in succession. And less than ten bales will not be beyond the needs of the mills, nor of the ever-Increasing populatlon that uses cotton goods. We need not fear over production In many years. The efforts of North Carolina should be for more cotton and less to bacco. With regard to the tobacco situation, it is generally safe to buy raw material when below the cost of production. And if tobacco will keep in store for several years, the plan to purchase and store It is worthy of being tried by the tobacco farmers of Eastern Carolina: but any attempt to manufacture It will prove to be hazardous. There are a great many ways of losing money, and excepting under propitious circum stances manufacturing in one of them. One of the most important elements in the business is to sell the manufactured product at a profit. That Is generally the trouble In all lines, and It Is espe cially so with tobacco. I have always urged not merely a diversification of Industries, but particularly local man ufactures, by which the labor of a part of the community is paid for by the other distant communities that con sume the product. But I must confess that one sees with regret the disposi tion of our country people to flock to the mills, virtually abandoning their country homes and entering on a dif ferent life as factory hands. Many neighborhoods are denuded of their population, and lands sink in value. On viewing these changes, one recalls Goldsmith's lines In the Deserted Vil lage: t "How often have I paused on every charm : .... The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm. The never-failing brock, the busy mill. The decent church that topped the neighboring hill. The hawthorn bush, with scats beneath the shade, , A ; TTTl I""' TT "111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men . decay, .J Princes and Lords may flourish or may fade: A breath can make them, or a breath has made, !

And so, with her big, brown eyes. She stared at the rheeting-house win dows And counted the crawling files. She looked far up at the preacher. But she thought of the honey bees Droning away at the blossoms That whitened the cherry trees. She thought of a broken basket, Where, curled in' a dusky heap. Three sleek, round puppies, with fringy ears ' Lay snuggled and fast asleep. Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle, Such queer little hearts to beat, Such swift, round tongues to kiss. Such sprawling, cushiony feet; She could feel in her clasping fingers The touch of the satiny skin, , And a cold, wet nose exploring The dimples under her chin. Then a sudden ripple of laughter Ran over the parted lips So quick that she could not catch it With her rosy finger-tips. The people whispered, "Bless the child." As each one waked from a nap, But the dear, wee woman hid her face For shame in her mother's lap. Author Unkno vvn. Calvert, J.-.
