C, JULY 15, 1891 SOMETHINGS CAN'T BE DONE. The papers in various sections have had much to say about the reduction of the acreage in cotton. And now comes a recommendation from the cotton growers of South Carolina that a big convention be held in Decem ber with a view to reducing this acre age and thereby force up the price. This all sounds very nice. "Over production" is a very popular text for newspaper articles, but there are ef forts in a good many directions to regulate things that juet wont regu late that way. It is just one of the most absurd things in nature to ex pect a farmer to farm with a view to his neighbors interest. Talk about reducing the acreage and thousands, if not all, will say, that is just what we need. We ought not to plant more than half as much as last year. But how many, when planting time comes will reason this way : The crop will be small this year and the prices good so I will put in a big crop and make some money.1' Just about a sufficient increase might be expected from this sort of reasoning to overcome the re duction caused by any such conven tion. The fact is, it is working at the wrong end. Whenever you attempt to Ignore and set aside the law that justice will govern prices and deter mine the course of individual action, you undertake a job that has never been accomplished yet, long at a time. All the bloodshed and destruc tion of property resulting from strikes lias been brought about by an effort to control prices in some other way, independent of " supply and de maud." The proper and only object to be sought by the farmer as a re lief from over production is to bring bis land and his mode oi cultivation up to the largest possible production on a given acre, at the smallest possi ble cost. Everywhere we have com bines and trusts denounced, and yet every body is trying to form one, or tret into one ; the farmers as well as other people and all for the purpose of accomnlishinfir something which cannot be accomplished in that way ii t Caulug. The following clippings from a cor respondence in the Leader, published at Klssimmee, Fla., if as appropriate to Wake county as to the Kissiminee people. The writer says: "The necessity of canning our sur plus products is becoming more ap parent, and Mr. E. Sutton presents the subject as follows: "Great Scott, what a spectacle to contemplate!

For $760 an outfit to can 5,000 cans pey can be purcnasea. jxow, this places the canning business with in the reach of all." There are thousands of pounds of fruit and vegetables lost every year for the want of a canning factory right here in Raleigh. Strange Occurrence. Monroe Enquirer. A gentleman from Moore county, who was in Monroe Tuesday, told us of a peculiar occurrence in that coun ty last week. Two young men named Register were working on the turpen tine orchards and had a shanty near Keyser, a station on the R. & A. Rail road. One of them was attacked with fever and his brother sat up with him for several nights in succes sion. Finally he was so overcome with fatigue that one night he fell asleep and when he awoke he found his brother gone. He, with several friends, searched for him several days without success. Jfmally a negro man found him in the swamps of Lumber river naked. The negro en ticed him out of the swamp and per suaded him to go a short distance with film, but he escaped from him and 4eturied to the swamp. The negro once reported the facts to his brother, who contained the search until Sunday afternoon, when he was found on the edge of the swamp dead.

Many men who would make very respectable presidents of the United States could not successfully run a retail grocery store. The anxieties of the grocery would wear them out. For consider the varied ability that the grocer requires the foresight about the markets, to take advantage of an eight per cent, off or on here or there; the vigilance required to keep a "full line," to dispose of goods be fore they spoil or the popular taste changes; the suavity and integrity and duplicity and fairness and adapt ability needed to get customers and keep them; the power to bear the daily and hourly worry; the courage to face the ever present spectre of "failure," which is said to come upon ninety merchants in a hundred; the talent needed to meet the whims and complaints of patrons, and the diffis culty of getting the patrons who grumble most to pay in order to sat isfy the creditors. When the retail groeer wakens in the morning he feels that the business is not going to come to him spontaneously; he thinks of his rivals, of his perilous stock, of his debts and delinquent customers. He has no ' constitution" to go by, nothing but his wits and energy to set against the world that day, and every day the struggle and anxiety are the same. What a number of de tails he has to carry in his head (con sider, for instance, how many differ ent kinds of cheeBe there are and how different people hate and love the same kind) and how keen roust be his appreciation of the popular taste The complexities and annoyances of his business are excessive, and he can not afford to make any mistake; if he does, he will lose his business, and when a man fails in business (honest ly) he loses his nerve and his career is ended. It is simply amazing,' when you consider it, the amount of talent shown in what are called the ordinary businesses of life. Charles Dudley Warner. Annual Meeting, Friends ol the Orphanage.
