The ummsy of the cotton crop
in the South f - r the week ending
June, 7 shows, hat without excep
tion great pre -rt f was made in the
growth and e ;ivition of eottoo In
every State la i week, and very set
domdo. such universally favorable
conditions oh! !n over so large 'tn
area. Where r.!ns were needed they
fell, and where dry and hot weather
was wanted, as In Texas, it pre-
vailed, so that the work passed with -
out complaint. There was a targe
gaiir in percentage of condition in
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, the Mississippi valley, and
the Texas, .Oklahoma and Arkansas
belt, maintaining the previous high
average, Holl weevus are usually
numerous thus early in the season
in southern Mississippi and Louisi
ana In Georgia and the Cafolinas
auOcient stands have been secured,
but the site of the planta i irregu
lar' and often small, a condition
which favorable weather will quick
ly remedy. ' All Over North Carolina
abundanf rains have fallen, -putting
the soil in excellent condition. There
is great improvement in stands, yet
some complaint of irregularity.
The plant are small but vigorous.
Most estimates of conditions are
around 80 per cent. The crop is
about two weeks late and in some
sections nearly three weeks., In part
of Texas it is a week late. ' The
plants are blooming In about three
fourths of the Texas cotton belt.

The South must diversify its agri
cultural production. It cannot af
ford to direct all of Its attention to
increasing the cotton crop, either
through better methods, improving
the yield per acre or through the
old methods of bringing every yexr
a larger acreage under the domlr.
ion of cotton. ;
Cotton will always remain the
great crop of the South. It will re
main for many communities and
many plantations the most profit
able of all crops. -
. But the South must diversify Its
productions. It must raise Its sup
ply of meat at home. It must do
better' than this: it must raise meat
for export, hogs and cattle; but suc
cess with eattle raising is not to be
obtained In one season. It must be
gradually developed in accordance
with a recognized system; a rotation
of crops on the land.'' and there
must be preparation and patience In
all matters connected with stock
raising. Prepare your land for stock
raising, and then get the best stock
you -can. Begin wit)), small enter
prises and gradually extend until
you and your neighbors have built
up a supply that eattle feeders from
the Northwest will come to inspect

Mr. Editor: I am sure there was
no one in Nash county who did not
hear with regret, many of them
with real grief, of the death of R.
A. P. Cooley. No one in the county
had a broader acquaintance among
the people than he and to all he was
known as a splendidly, . Intellectual
man, affable and lovable. His
strong, practical sense was known
to all whether in business, outside
the practice of his profession r in
the trial of suits, 'bis quicks-strong
sense was always in evidence -and
bringing things to pass. He was a
master in taking advantage of what
ever situation he found bimtelf in
and turning It toward success and
victory. No man could go into the
trial of a suit knowing so little of
the facts and as1 , readily grasp and
control the situation as he His
long and varied ' experience, and
legal mind, without as much study
bf the books aa some had, made
him one of- the very best lawyers
that .ever practiced at the Nash
county bar. His wit, never biting,
but always illuminating, and . like
bia intelligences intensely practiced,
was one of the beet features of bis
character. The bright witty things
he said in the court room and among
bis friends will long cause us to re
member him even had he no other
Attractive qualities and gifts.
He was a popular' man,' because
he felt kindly toward all men and
had the real gift of making his feel
ing and sympathies known to them.
That he had some faults, in common
with mankind is true, but the mem
ory of them is lost in the multitude
of real virtues that nature and as
sociation had endowed him-with.
hHe war i while not born here) dis-
Uinetfvelya Nash eauitty cyJueVfee
understood the people ofhe county
as no other in It ' and sympathized
with their views of men and things.
He was' kind hearted, loyal to his
friends and generous to a fault, but
little more can be. saitj of any man.
i May his soul rest in peace. . '
