''The .Japanese are just now beginning to realize that war and preparation for war is not all fade less glory. Her victory over poor ignorant China has madof her an arrogant'fool, and if she continues in her present course a heavy puncture in the peneumatic tire whicb encircles her limited domain will be the result. The heavy bills which she has incurred on account of the illuminations, processions, etc., are now being presented for payment and are met with ancmpty treasury. Her recent conquests, the compulsory military service, higher taxes, and the gold stand ard which have been added surely have ,not produced a widespread business activity. Japan may continue to keep her treasury depleted by building war ships with which she hopes to ".increase hr domain, butyoe unto herfu tvire visef ulhessif she continues to nm counter with the interests' of your Uncle Sam." Then you said something, Mr. Winston Sentinel! FARMING LANDS AV ANTED. Thefollowing persons, residing in other States, wish to buy farm ing larnds.in North Carolina, says theAgricultural Bulletin for July: A. N. j Daywitt, Frankfort, Ind., (anv kind); L. P. Clensen, Hainil- tonOhio, (land suitable for cattle raising); C. A. Dean, Springfield; Vermont, (any kind); John W. Hughes, 1203 Adams street, .Toledo,'-! Ohio, (stock and general farming); F. J. Humphrey, Mans field, Ohio, (fruit growing); L. A. Wiess, Cirdeville, Ohio, (grain anV grass growing); Dr. Si E. Cami')lell, 1:5(T Broadway,-'-Bay City, Michigan,- (for general farm ing, in a healthy locality.) SILVER. ' Silver continues to decrease in value.- Its market price 3-esterday was ,430-10 cents and indications point to a further decrease, so say those who are supposed to know. The commercial ratio being gold and silver is now ?0.6 to 1 instead of 6 to 1, and it would have to contain $50 fine grains of silver to equal a gold dollar at this rate, and if alloy w as added the total would be 953 grains. It appears there is no xlemand for i V China not purchasing any now and Japan being out of the business. Added to this it is claimed there is' littlo or no demand for it from any country as subsidiary coin. From this it appears. that unless the American bimetallic commission soon meets in ponference it will have little to do. . With the ex traordinary output of gold this year, estimated at 240,000,000, it was thought that silver would increase in value. The question now is: Will it re- map low ? We do not believe it will. Arrangements are being consummated for the bimetallic conference, which will be held I !' A 1 1 " mier uns year, when something may be expected to "drao." Sil - !yer may yet take its place along -wnu guiu as me money ot this I wuuuy.. ( A ' " TOBACCO TRADE. The Greenville Reflector, pub lished at Greenville, N. C, says: "The Greenville tobacco market started the new season with a good break, marked by the ojd.timp breakland activity. Withthe un certainty of how prices would be at the opening, the busy time among the farmers, and. the dry weather, not much tobacco was looked for on the first day. - How ever, there was enough here for a livelv sale of nearT three hours, thfcre being from 5,000 to 7,000 Sounds in each of the four ware ouses. Prices were very much higher than- at the opening a year ago and 'only satisfaction was heard among the sellers." c This is cherry and'shows that there is enterprise and public spir itedness in that ' little eastern city. To a Salisburian who holds the in terest of the town uppermost the fact is disquieting, if a contrast is drawn between the two towns and the difference displayed by the .cit izens noted. Salisbury a few years ago was a tobacco tow n, but lost the business by neglect. Greenville continues in the busi ness and is thriving. Salisbury is, ordinarily speaking, in as good a tobacvo growing section as Greenville, and should reap the ad vantage of it. Portions of Rowan grow tine tobacco and Salisbury is so near Davie and Davidson that it could handle all, or nearly all, of the tobacco' grown in those counties. It did handle much of it at one time, and the pity is that it was let lag and' die for want of attention. The tobacco trade is one of the best trades in the country and Sal isbury ought to have a share of it. There is no reason, other than a remarkable degree of indiffer ence, why it does not have it. It was sheer folly to give up the trade, at one time well established. It is still folly to let it remain giv en up when it could easily be re vived. The Sun has called attention to this "matter before and does so once more, hoping that the busi ness people will see it to their in terest to take jip the tobacco, trade DANGEROUS TALK. . In an effort to shield North Carolina-f rom the stigma oft re peated by the speakers and w riters in the present school campaign, to the effect that she stands among the lowest; on the list in illiteracy, ex-Governor " and U. S. Senator Jar vis, in a recent letter published in a State paper, says illiteracy does not -mean ignorance. This we regard fts dangerous talk. Mr. Jarvis, in showing his love and pa triotism for his State, goes a step too far, especially at fhis crucial pe riod in her history,, and had he given it deeper-; thought' the proba bility is he would not have express ed such a sentiment as it is calcu lated to hinder the progress of education, which is -so badly need ed in the State. We agree with Mr. Jarvis that illiteracy docs not mean ignorance in every instance. "YVe have seen illiterate men who have shown great ability: We see them frequently doing a splen did business, exhibiting more com mon sense than many who have passed through college, winning distinction by graduating with high honors. This, however, is to the credit of the man, and not to his illiteracy. There are others and there are many of them who are illiterate and who remain On the lowest round, f These largely till prison houses, work shops and other places- of correc tion. They are in fact the ' lowesti grade of numanity . It is saf e to say that in nine cases i out of ten illiteracy does make ignorance. Indeed, as long as the percentage in illiteracy in North Carolina re mains as great as at presenjt the stigma will continue and the peo ple will be considered little better than "hewers of wood and draw ers of water." It is a dangerous sen timent to make public that illiter acy is not ignorance, and Mr. Mar- 111' ii v vis couiu naruiy nave made a greater mistake. The percentage in literary acquirements shouM, and must be,, raised in North Car olina. At present the State is lowest, excepting Mexico. Thi is a crying shame upon the State and one we hope will soon be re "moved from North Carolina. It seems that there is a regular epidemic of thieving and robbery inandlabout Durham.

In speaking of the gold mines in the South, . the Baltimore Sun says: The excitement over the gold fields of Alaska and Canada has reawakened interest in the more accessable mines of the Southern States. Some $15,565, 483 of gold, it is found by recent inquiries, bas been taken from the mines or Maryland. Virsrmia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee Nearly half of this gold was ob tained in North Carolina, Georgia being the next largest producer! Some nuggets are found in' thesd Southern fields, but placer diggings are not the feature of importance. lay rock, not pay dirt, is what the Southern miner has to deal w ith, and for this he requires capital, machinery and scientific processes, besides business meth ods and experience. New methods of treatment make it possible to get gold in paying quantities from ores formerly regarded as intrac table. In consequence of this fact old mines are being reopened and new ones developed. The world now rushes to Alaska, where the climate is artic and the " conditions are unfavorable, but the time is not far distant, it is believed, when the paying mines of the South, with their favorable cli mate and civilized surroundings, will receive the attention of min ing capitalists." Boiler and Engine in Place. Says the Greensboro Telegram: A Telegram man went out to the silk mill this morning and found everything around the mill mov ing along briskly. A force of hands is busily engaged putting ur the machinery and getting everything in working order.
