bankers who have been conferring
here for the last two days with r.-p
resentatives of the Governor's Con
ference and the Southern Cotton
Congress announced this aftemo u
that they had raised a fund of $"i0,
000,000 to be placed Immediately In
the cottou belt states for the pur
pose of handling the cotton crop of
1911, and enabling growers to par
ticipate in any rise In the market. . -
. Following is the announcement of
the plan issued after the conference:
'The announcement , was made
here today, following conferences
that have been in progress for sever
al days between prominent bankers
of New York and leading representa
tives of the South, such as Governor
O'Neal of Alabama; Clarence Ousley,
represeneiug Governor Colquitt, of
Taxes, and E, 3. Watson, A president
of the Permanent Southern , Cotton
Congress and Commissioner of Agri
culture of South Carolina, that pro
position has been presented to these
gentlemen, representing respective,
the Governor's Conference and the
Southern Congress, enmposed of pro
ducts and business men and bankers
of the South, which means the plac
ing in the cotton belt State of about
150,000,000 immediately for the
handing of the cotton crop of 191 1. -'In
other words, the proposition
is to give the farmer $25 per bale ad
vance on his cotton, without interest,
charging him only II per bale to cov
er expencea of grading and handling,
letting him turn over the cotton to
the holders' who will advance him
$25 per bale and give him the oppor
tunity to designate the date of. sale
prior to Jauary 1, 1913, and to parti
cipate in any advance in price to the
extent of three-fourths of .the rise in
the market ':W' ' -'Ar' v2-'
'"It 1s calculated by the president
ordinary holding process the farmer
takes all the chances of the rise In
the market. By this plan he takes
no more chance then he did . before
and has every opportunity of maxi
mum participation it a rise in the
market, meantime paying the losses
sustained by country damage and by
loss V of weight and warehouse
charges. "r'i '"V'-Y-
"Provision is made, qgainst any
apparent violation of the . Sherman
law, in that each State committee
named by the Governor or Commissi
oner of Agriculture of each State
has the rower to name the day ' of

testimony gathered .give only a

The other day in extending a cor
dial Invitation to the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad to buil Its road now
ending at Bunn, below Raleigh, to
the State Capital, ,-thfs .paper said.
that of all the big - railrovi in the
South, the Atlantis Oast Line had
been managed better for its stock
holders than any other; railroad and
that its dividends had', been ' bigger
than the dividends of any other rail
road system and that tt would be i
good thing for Raleigh and for that
prosperous system to extend Its
Spring Hope branch to the Capital."
What is the matter yith the Atlan
tic Coast Line in North Carolina?
Ten and twenty years ago it was tak
ing the lead In railroad construction
and development. It-built a short
cot from Wilson via Fayetteville to
Florence, S. C.; It built rthe .Clinton
branch and . half a dozen other
branches; It built to Washington and
Greenville and whereter there was
progress in Eastern North Carolina,
the Coast Line was thre with the
railroad and a train, but latterly it
seems to have withdrawn to . winter
quarters and to be sitting, still and
taking no part in the railroad devel
opment that we need in North Car
olina. - In the meantime, the Nor
folk Southern railroad, since coming
into North Carolina' has leased the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
built a line throuhout all that part
of the State north of New Bern, and
is now spreading out to build a rail
road to Concord and Charlotte from
Raleigh, with other projected lines,
which indicate that it is seeking to
touch the improvement points in the
State and to develop the section
through which it ron " Does not j
the Atlantic Coast Line need a little
injection of Dr. Brown Sequard's
liquid to makjejt wak-p and goto
building railroad so as to do its part
in the development of the State that
has make its stockholders rich be- J
yond the dreams of avarice? and at
the same time to continue to grow
and prosper as it should? , When
ever any enterprise or business stops
growing, it is making a great mis
take. It is particularly true of rail
roads that they must grow or go
backward. All North Carolina haa
been . asking for- Several years:
"What la the matter with the Atlan
tic Coast Line? : It is asleep?" The
news comes that it is to float a large
issue of bonds. Let us : hope that
this means a large extension in North
Carolina, and that the first fruits of
this issue will mean that It will com
plete its road to Raleigh. New and

Now and then we hear of crimi
nals being sent out of the County as
a part of the punishment which the
courts are supposed to give them.
Some seems to regard this as very
bad punishment when in most cases
it really amounts to but little. It
never amounts to much in- the way
of punishment. The class of people
who would be sent out of the County
by a court would in most cases not
object to going. In fact they would
prefer to move.1 After they have liv
ed in a community until' they have
been found out and known that the
people are suspicious of them ' they
feel that it is about time for them
to hunt new quarters. So in many
cases where criminals are 'sent off
they would go themselves if nothing
was said to them. The court only
asks them to do what they have al
ready determined to do. Such peo
ple care nothing as to what is said
about their leaving. They have no
reputation to lose. -
Besides it is not right to let such
people go unpunished. . The fact
that a man is worthless is no excuse
for him to be allowed to go free,
Criminals should be punished and
not sent off to commit crimes some
where else. It is not correction to
criminals' nor is it doing justice to
the people among whom they are
sent. When you clean up your yard
it is not right to throw the trash in
the yard of your neighbor.
Public openion should make such a
demand for punishment for all who
violate the laws that our courts will
go ahead in punishment of crimials
and not let them off on some frivol
ous excuse. Smithfield Herld.

The SupremeJCourt of North Car
olina refuses ts give its sanction to
the dignified performance of 'whip
ping the devils' round the stump, '
George Mitchell, a Winston negro
was charged with selling a pint of
whiskey to Jack Curry. Curry testi
fied that he paid 50 cents for the li
quor and owed 25 cents on it, while
Mitchell testfied that he loaned the
pint of whiskey to Curry, who said
his whiskey would arrive next day,
that the agreement was that Curry
was to cancel the loan by returning
a bottle of whiskey. .);' ' J !
The lower court found Mitchell
guilty under the statute. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court
and our highest court affirms the
decision, declaring; that a loan of
whiskey was a sale and this wheth
er the offenders be street corner
loafers or of the upper ten who be
longs to clubs and things. -' -

, Will it pay me to exchange cotton
seed at rate of 1,400 pounds af meal
for a ton of seed? Can I afford to
ell the seed at 80 cents a bushel
and buy nitrate of soda at $5 for
203 pound sack?" . .
In 1 400 pound of cottonseed meal,
if a well decorticated article, you
f huold get 100 pounds of nitrogen
and a fair preceotage of phosphoric
acid and potash. : .
That is. looking at it from the fer
unzer standpoint only. , But you
can feed the meal in judicious
mounts with good roughage and
make a profit in the feeding, and re
cover fully 80 per cent or more of
the plant food value of the meal.
Your ton of seed will have only av
bout 70 pounds of. nitrgen as an av
erage, so thet you are rearly gain
ing nitrogen in the exchange, and
the oil has no fertilizing value.' . At
30 cents a bushel the seed will be
bringing 120 a ton, that is, you will
sell the 70 pound of nitrogen with
the phosphoric acid and potash for
$20 and can buy back in nitrate of
soda four 200-pound sacks for 120
dollars containing 125 pound of nit
rogen, and looked at in that way, it
would seem that you would be a
gainer. But as I have often said,
the farmer who farms right in a
good rotation, feeds his meal and
has good legume forfage to balance
his corn stover, needs never to buy
nitrogen in any' form. While you
could buy more actual nitrogen with
the twenty dollars, you would lose
the feeding value, of the meal,
in exchanging seed for meal you
gain nitrogen and the farm will be
more economically served by getting
the meal and feeding it, provided
you are farming and not merely
"planting cotton."- Progressve FarJ

In writing about the sandy-clay
roads the Charlotte Observer says:
"North Carolina is rapidly coming
around to an appreciation of the val
ue of sandy-clay roads as a perma
nent form of building material.
The old system of macadamizing is
gradually losing in popular favor,
and strange as it may appear, ex
periments are teaching that the best
substitute for this improval method
is, after all, the cheapest - It is cal
culated that the sand-clay roads now
being constructed in Cleveland coun
ty cost only $250 a mile, while the
average cost of a mile of macadam
in Mecklenburg, which has more
then 200 miles of , the improvement,
is roughly estimated at $4,500. For
elasticity and for permanency; the
sand-clay variety is K regared as
vastly superior to the macadam.''
