Every once in a while there is a dull

hear Itbusiness is rotten.
This practice among full grown
men has very little to excuse it, even
when existing facts bear out the
complaints. It is both weak and
foolish. There la nothing so bad
no misfortune so great in the world
that it cannot be made worse by
lamenting and walling over It.'' Be
sides, it is a more or less distressing
and disgusting spectacle to others.
Thus, it is not only unmanly and un
dignified, but it is also unprofitable
and injurious to cry when you are
hurt, or worse still, when you 'are
merely scared. .
If this habit of calamity howling
reacted only on the howlers them
selves words and sympathy would be
wasted. The real trouble is that
this sort of talk always has a con
siderable moral Influence and effect
upon a large class of people outside
who are going ahead and minding
their own business and not concern
ing themselves closely' with general
conditions. Whether they believe it
entirely or not, it has a tendency to
shake their confidence and make
them uneasy and generally unsettle
them. If this feeling spreads suffi
ciently it ends in actually making
business "rotten. "As a man

CUAMP CLARK DEFIES T
Speaker Says Tariff Saesld U

It.
Washington, June 21 Speaker
Champ Clark issued a defiance to the
administration today on learning of
reports that President Taft purposed
to veto any general tariff legislation
at the extra session of Conirress.
The speaker in a formal statement
declared that the whole tariff ought
to be revised and that the Democrat
ic party would rest its case with , the
country. r ,
'The tariff ought to be. revised
from top to bottom," said Mr. Clark.
"The people of the land so decided
last November. . That ia their last
mandate, The House decided that
it ia best to revise it schedule by
schedule. We have made a good
start on that plan. We will continue
as we have begun. The country en
dorses what the House is doing. If
the Republican Senate beats our
bills or the President vetoes them,
we will appeal to the country and it
will sustain us. We believe we are
right. - We are not afraid of a eon-
teat. .
A preparation that has met with
great favor In Raleigh in the cam
paign for fly-extermination is a table
spoon-full of formalin mixed with
half a cup of milk and half a cup of
water. This should be poured into
shallow vessels and the vessels placed
about the kitchen windows on the out
side and wherever flies breed or con
gregate, whether within or without
the house. Raleigh fly-hunters have
realised good results from this meth-
of of warfare. Suppose we give it s
trial down this way 1 Ex.

Probably no town in the United
States can boast of a cleaner bill of
health than Morehead City, North
Carolina. In a population of about
,000 there ia not a family having a
crippled child or one who is idiotic
or insane. There is here, too, a very
homologos' population. , . There is
neither an Irishman, German, Italian
or a Jew in town, although there is
no ban on any race or creed.
The white population outnumbers
the blacks four to one, the latter
having their residential section and
their own churches and ' schools.
Morehead City-is also remarkable
for its simplicity in its religious doc
trines. There is neither Catholic,
Episcopalian, Presbyterian or Uni

churches and several denominations.

Gaston county, by the grace of the
legislature, has a dog tax. An ob
servant citisen coming through Gas
ton to Charlotte yesterday learned
some facts at Dallas. In the town
ship of Dallas the assessors are said
to have found one thousand dogs,
the tax is SI jOO each. Some owners
have killed their dogs rather than pay
tax on themK And this goes to show
how a dog law would work through
out the State, It is estimated that the
dog tax will bring mV the Gaston
county treasury,8,000, and even at
tnat some ox the dogs may nave
caped . ; '
There is a also feeling bi Gaston as
in other counties, that the property
tax under the new plan, of ast
ment, will be increased about forty
percent, ima large increase ol tax
values may ereate- considerable dis
satisfaction, unless there is a better
ment in showing as to extension
good roads and schools to offset Jt.
But the main point is the dog tax.
Think of the man who would kill his
dog rather than pay a tax of $1.00
on the dog I And yet that is the Way
it would work. ; If the State had
good, strong law, it would mean
nock of sheep where it now has One
dog. As the situation now stands
one cur dog offsets a flock of sheep.
Isn't it time to reverse the situation?

A case of unusual interest to the
stock raisers, where the work of tick
eradication is being conducted in
this State, took place at Warrenton
on June 19, when W. A. Cpnnell, of
Inez, Warren county was tried and
fined $201.00 and costs by Judge
Carter, of the Superior Court
Warrenton, for violating the cattle
quarantine regulations. '
It is alleged that Mr. Connell has
been very indifferent in observing
the regulations; that he allowed cat
tle to be moved from his quarantined
premises, and allowed others to be
brought on.
The United States Bureau of Ani
mat Industry and the' State Depart
ment of Agriculture, working in co
operation, have accomplished a great
work in exterminating the fever tick
from this State, and it is only recent
ly that Franklin, Wake. Chatham
Randolph, Stanly and Montgomery
counties were released from quaran
tine. The farmers of this State can
make money raising cattle for mar
ket by getting rid of the ticks, and
to this end they should exert every
effort

True to Its name and scope, the
National Magazine every now and

of the nation. The purpose is to
eventually include every state, arid a
campaign of six years is marked put
for the hustling editorial staff, who
visit in person nearly every county
and city in each of the states covered.
The National for June substitutes
for the-regulation rose-embowered
cover, affected by June-411u6trating
magazines, the long-leaf pine spray
of North Carolina, and a reproduct
ion of the famous oil painting of Sir
John Millais, in which Sir Walter
Raleigh is shown as a boy, listening
to the sun-bronzed-sailor's tales of
the lands across the sea, and dream
ing about its wonders. For the old
North State receives, the : attention
of the staff this month,- and in over
ninety-six pages of elaborately illus
trated articles, the story is told.
North Carolina is shown in a -way

The Southern farmer is it! No
Corn Belt farmer, Wheat Belt farm
er- or any other sort or farmer on
the continent, is making things hum
pardon tne slang Xor once; we are
indulging in a bit of jubilation-like
Mr. Southern Farmer ia doing!
mis u no Idle assertion, no mere
bombast, but a cold no, not a cold,
but a red hot burning, statistical
fact It is based on the figures just
given out from Washington, show
ing the crop valpea by States for
1910, the total value of the crops
produced by the farmers in each
Commonwealth last year. These
show that one Southern State Tex
as has "cut down" every body else
in the class and stands head and is
going to keep on standing bead-and
that every other Southern State in
The Progressive Farmer territory
has also moved up right toward
head, . excepting only Louisiana
which ia going through the boll wee
vil set back which will itself only
produce a healthy reaction in the
end.
Let's take the record one by one.
Texas, as we, have said, put out
Illinois which in 1909 was first in
crop values; and unless we are mis
taken, Texas will be first on the
roll always hereafter.
South Carolina thraft.eheers for
our ralmetto readers! which was
twenty-first in 1909. broke all records
by cutting down eight at a clip, and
ia now thirteenth in the class.
ueorgia, wmcn was tenth in crop
values in 1909, climbed right up to
fourth place in 1910.
Alabama jumped six competitive
States and is now No. 14 in the list
North Carolina jumped four and
Mississippi and Arkansas each climbed
three points toward head. North
Carolina making a rain of 18 iter
cent in values, Arkansas, II, Missis
sippi iv. And out ior tne Doll wee
vil, Mississippi would have done even
better!' . i-
Virginia moved up two points and
Tennessee one, and Florida, while
forty-second on the roll, scores a
gain of 9 per cent in crop values.
Let's all give three cheers for the
Southern farmer and get to work
harder than ever.
As for the man who isn't working
id isn't trying to farm better than
and
ever before, the man who isn't help
ing the South show the rest of the
world what we can do, and what sort
of stuff her sons are made of well,
he is a skuiker and a shirker, worse
than the man who ran away from
battle '61 to '65, or else he just
hasn't been waked up. '
mere are many yet to be aroused
and brought into the ranks of those
who are marching' forward to better
things. The average farmer made
last year only 170 pounds of lint
cotton to the acre. He ought to do
better, and he must for the sake of
the South. ', '
Go after this farmer who is stand
ing still; get him to moving; take
him out to the Farmers' Institute:
interest him in the Farmers' Union
and most important of all, get him
to reading. Lend htm the bulletins,
lend him any literature you can, but
in any case, get him to reading a
good iarm paper paper as well as
his local paper. ' -
The South is marching forward,
and we need every man in line.
