Tuesday, November 7, 1905. PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND COTTON PLANT. 13 STATE NEWS FROM CURRITUCK TO CHEROKEE. Items of Interest Gleaned from Our Correspondents and Exchanges. . . . . T- 1 A " ' 1 jt'ittsboro itecorci: i. very remarK- able debate was had at this place one night last week between some of our most intelligent colored citizens. The query discussed was, "Resolved that it is best for the colored people that they are disfranchised," and, strange to say, the amrmative worn Asheville dispatch: Announce ment was made to-day that at the time of the unveiling ot the Uonied- erate monument to the Sixtieth Korth Carolina Regiment here on November 8th, another monument VO UlU uc uuvcucu aii.wc same uuic a monunfent to the memory of the late General 1. Ii. Ulmgman. The Tar Heel Publishing Company has placed the orders for a complete outfit, including a modern press, for the publication of the Weekly Tar Heel, the Republican newspaper to be established in Greensboro by Con gressman E. Spencer Blackburn and his friends. . G. S. Bradshaw, of "Greensboro, is to be editor, and it is announced that the first issue will appear November 9th. Carolina Trucker : The Carolina Trucking Development Company, ot which Messrs. Hugh MacRae & Co. are interested, has just landed the first installment of Greek farmers at the company's new town near Bur gaw. Others are to follow, and the company reports satisfactory prog ress in its work of developing the 250,000 acres of land purchased, up on which hundreds of other families are to be located in the future in the vicinity of Castle ,Haynes and elsewhere. Sunday, 30th, .the Catholic Or phanage two miles and a half from Raleigh, was destroyed by fire which was thought to have originated m a flue at- the kitchen. Two priests -I ! .i.i i jumped irom tne tnira sxory ana were injured. Two boys on the fourth floor were driven to the roof by the flames. A third young man climbed to them and directed them how to jump. Mattresses were placed below for a protection to them as they jumped. Two missed and one was so badly injured that he died in a short while. The others were badly, and perhaps fatally, injured. The loss was estimated at $25,000. Raleigh dispatch: Some highly interesting statistics as to farming interests and conditions m agricul tural communities have just been is sued from the office of the Commis sioner of Labor and Printing. The figures are based on reports from 850 farmers in all narts of the State. The statement shows increase in the value of farm lands in ninety coun ties, decrease 4in one and no change m six. Eighty-nine counties report a tendency to have smaller- farms; ninety-seven report labor scarce? ninety-five counties report negro la bor unreliable, and one no nesrro la bor at all. Nearly all the counties report slight increase m the. wages Paid and all report increase in the cost of living. A remarkable feature f the summary is that "forty-one counties report the moral conditions ?ood, forty-seven fair, eight poor and one bad." Of course the name of the "bad" is not given. Alliance Lecturer Cat es to Visit Lenoir and Warren. I desire to announce that State lecturer H. M. Cates will go to "Le noir County the 6th and spend a eek in that county in' the interest, of the Alliance. He will then go to Warren County and devote ' some time to the re-organization of the Alliance there. Brother Cates is not a stranger in either of those counties, having lec tured m both within the last few months, so he needs no introduction to those people. However, I do want to say just this: If there is a farmer who lives within five miles on appointment and fails to go out to hear Brother Cates speak he will never know just how much he has missed. Let every man, woman, and child, too, for that matter the more the better ; it suits' Brother Cates r-go out to hear him and all will be well repaid for the time spent. T. B. PARKER, Somebody Should Advertise Holsteini in The Progressive Farmer. Can you tell me through your valu able paper where pure bred Holstein cows can be purchased in North Carolina ? Will be glad if any in formation along this line. G. A. EIGGS. Apex, N. C. j Distribution of Mulberry Trees.
