In tha Nnrtti Atlantic atatM In 1910, 48 pet cent of the people lived in small towos and country districts comDrisinz 3 per cent, of the land, and 62 ter cent lived in cities of 800,000 and over comprising; the re maining area of ,' 1 per wnt. Tlje lure of the treat city, a theme sat urated with tragedy, has been writ ten of many times; Frederick L. Hoffman, actuary of the Prudential Uie InBurtnct Co., in a resent pam- chlet. points out of that longevity and diminished liability to disease are decidedly favored in the' coun try.- The tyohoid fever .mortality- rat is higher in the country than in the city, but the difference is much less than has often been assumed. Although the mortality from mala ria has been high er, and in many Dlaces no doubt still is so. musquito elimination has greatly reduced the number of cases of malaria in rural districts. While influensa, apop1exj. paralysis, heart-disease and peri tonitis also seem more common in the country, some of these are dis eases of old adge, and the digerence is undoubtedly due in great measure by reason of a larger proportion of old rwnuiR' in the count rr. the young having migrated to the eity. On the other band, the causes, of death more common in the city are venereal diseases, cancer, alcholism. meningitis, enteritis, bronchitis,, the pneumonias, toburcolosis, cirrhosis of the liver, appendicitis, Bright's disease and death from violence. It is hardly to be hoped, says The Jour nal of the' American Medical Asso ciation, that emphasis on the greater healthf umess of the country will in fluence any one who is determined to enter city life. No appeal of this or anv other kind has hitherto prov ed effective in the history of civiliza tion.

The Graphic ?1 Per Year FIRE i : m- , a N. C; Hals ria Cattaa t rices. In the Progressive Farmer office the other day Prof. D. N. Baliow made a statement about the control! of cotton prices that is worth pass ing on. . This is what he said: "The farmer will be able to fix the price of his cotton when he owns it and not before... The farmer is not an exception to the general rule that a man cannot control the price of a thing which does not- belong to him." . ... ' All the argument " in the world cannot get sway from this simple proposition. The cotton crop of the South when made does not belong to the men who made it, but to the landlord, , the storekeepers, . the banker, who furnished them the money to make it with.' These men want their money, the cotton grow er has to raise it for them, and has just one way to get it that is to sell bis cotton -r ' ' .' Of course, under such conditions. someone else fixes the price of 'cot ton and not until the conditions are changed will the farmer have much "says" in the matter. v , -; U is good to know that the condi tions are being changed, that more and more farmers are coming.really to own the crops they make; but there is yet much progress to be made before any. sort of organiza tion of financing plan can enable the farmers, as a class, to bold, for a fair price. .'The. first thing in the fight for better prices is to do away with the old practice of letting' cot ton growers live all summer long on the expectation of a crop to be made. The share cropper, with everything furnished him and a mortgage laid on the cotton he is going to make must be converted into a wage hand, or given a chance to do real fanning and release himself from the econo mic slavery of hjs present condition. TblanH-wning" fanaer-wh buys fertilizers and work-stock and ma chinery and corn and hay and gro ceries and clothes, all to be paid for when cutton is sold, must be, chang ed into a self-supporting farmer who grows more of -what he needs and owns more of what he produces. , . Here is where the work of fixing cotton prices must begin; and any such work is necessarily slow. It Is gratifying to know, however, that every farmer Can do something at it this very year. He can at least make sure that he will have-home-grown hay and feed and home raised meat to eat next winter; and these two things will put him far : along the road to economic freedom. It must be remembered, too, that every man who puts his farming on a self-sustaining basisjiot only helps himself, but also adds to the strength of the farmers who already own their cot ton and hastens the day when there will be enough such farmers to take care of the crops produced by the dependent class. Progressive farm er. - Desirable Farms If a farmer wants to buy a farm he will pay more for one on a good road. This'shows that he knows that a farm on a good road is worth more than one on a bad road. , It proves conclusively and absolutely that he is satisfied that a good road adds to the' value of land. Therefore, ac cording to the logicians, a farmer is going back on his horse sense when he votes against building improved highways: Every good road is a value making and all of us recognize it when we prefer to have a farm on the very beat "good road" in the country. Hence no man can make a mistake , when he votes, for im proved roads and the rural develop ment that is brought about as aeon sequence. We leave the subject right here in a nutshell and' defy nybody to crack it.- Wilmington Stan Chamberlain's 7 Colic, Cholera v and DIarrhota Remedy - Everv fa"''v without ee"-4ion e' r pp."' ' ' md i .... t. . t .thtr lI i'.iq ' im rr months.

" it low. jlht jayaaete Sad America Navlat ' It is a matter of particular impor tance at the present juncture, in view of the recent crisis,' that the American people should tak& serious stock of Japanese naval 'develop ment. The navy of the UJnit ?d States is still incomparably Superior to that of Japan; but its superiority is yery largely dependent un4n ships built during what is JinowJn'. as the "pre-dfeadnought" era, 'and which are therefore in a state of aier in creasing obsolescence The future cannot be guaranteed by V prepon derance of units wh'ch.Vwhstever their merits when they were built, are now wholly outclassed! ine Panama Canal, while it will hdd to the mobility of the American fleet, increases its responsibilities.' me canal affords the : navy a sfiorter route to the Pacific, but it aisb adds to the dangers . that the "Urtited States may run in the Pacifier Four years ago M. Sartori Kato, ;otie of the best informed Japanese "public ists, wrote in an English naval peri odical: "Whether allowed or disal lowed, Japan's insistent aspiration is to be mistress of the Pacific f ' " It will be wisd to bear the policy in mind when considering the - facts which may . be regarded either as the outcome of it or as contributing toward it.-, ; ' .; a-. As to a comparison of the Ameri can and Japanese fleets, the United States has thirteen dreadnoughts built and building to Japan's twtlve. The difference in tonnage, such ka it is, is slightly in favor of Japan' - In gun power the Japanese are 18 per cent better off than we, although they have one dreadnought less. t) , There is in these; facts no cause for panic. Japan has still, at the outside, only five completed dread-' nouirhta to the eisht of the United1 States, and laklttg into conslderar ; tion the more rapid rate of construc tion in this country, there is no good reason why the proportion should be altered.' It is however, perfectly clear that the naval superiority: of America over Japan cannot be main tained by laying down one battle ship a year. From 1911 onward Ja pan has laid down or 'ordered eight dreadnoughts to the: four of the United . States, " and , another four battle cruisers, besides minor craft are provided foe in the new Japanese program. )t ' '; k When Admiral Takarabe was plac ing the new program .before the Lower House of the, Japanese diet, he declared that, it had .been pre pared with an eye to the , 21 battle ships which "a certain power "might be able to oppose to it.. This was, of course, a direct reference to the United States, since nO European power is in position to risk the dis patch of bo many ships to so distant a nation.; tit must have become per fectly obvious to every man who-ex-amines the situation that a provision of one battleship a year will not suf fice to maintain the position of the United States among the naval pow ers of the world. ; Between 1901 and 1907, a period of seven years, 29 ar mored ships were launched for the United V States fleet.' .' Infive and a: half succeeding , years only ten have bten launched.. ; No nation can ex pert tar maintain its position in face of sucn facts as these. With the ad vent of the" dreadnought, Costing more to build and to keep; up .than ships of earlier types, some diminu tion in . numbers was to be looked for, but there is no nation that has reduced its rate of construction to such an extent as the United States. At the end of the pre-dreadnought era the United States was easily sec ond to Great Britain.' Germany has now usurped ; that position and if the present rate of , comparative progress is allowed to continue, it will not be long before the rise of Japan compels America to take a still lower position in ; the scale.

' , - Utiaaataa Vndtrwa4 BUI ' Tl)e cotton planter sells his cotton in an open; freetrade market, ' The price is fixed in Liverpool, whether the cotton is consumed in New Eng land or in the Southern mills. , Under the present , tariff the cot ton planter is taxed for a large part of his supplies. He has been com. plaining for many years because his ties and bagging are all on the tariff list , If he sends his cotton abroad and sells it, and wants to buy bag ging or ties, or wants to buy cloth ing or household supplies of any kind, he has to pay a duty at thej custom house. ; -1 . It is surprising.therefore, to learn that the cotton schedule of this bill wa attacked at a meeting of the National Farmers' Union in New Orleans April 80. Mr. J. D. Brown, who is a member of a cotton firm of New Orleans, stated that the pend ing bill already had resulted in a de cline of nearly 15 a bale in the price of raw cotton, representing a loss of one million dollars to the planters. This is the kind of stuff that some men would feed the farmers upon. There is no tax on raw cotton which these Southern farmers -sell, and there is no possibility of reducing the price of raw cotton by reducing the import duties on manufactured cotton. . How far this duty on manufac tured cotton should go may be a question of doubt, of discussion, , of debate, but we all know that when you cheapen the price of an article you increase the consumption- of it. That is as inevitable as that water will flow downhill- If we are going to cheapen the price of manufac tured cottons, undoubtedly there will be an increased demand' for these cotton goods imported or do mestic . More of them will be used Even if it were true whicbi iHot necessarily true--that this consump tion of foreign product may lessen the consumption of American made goods, there would be no decreased demand for raw cotton. Undoubtedly, in time the effect oi a lower tariff will be an increased use of manufactured cotton goods. There has been a decline in the mar ket price of raw Cotton during the past few months, some of which is purely speculative and worked up by the gamblers in New Orleans and in New York, and some of which is due to the disturbed conditions in China and' Japan, and the threaten ed outbreak of; war in Europe, and to disturbances in Mexico. These influences abroad,: and the effect on business at home, is to curtail in vestment, make men cautious, tem porarily; cotton has been affected as other things have been affected, like stocks in Wall street. The man who tells the Southern farmer that the prospect of reduced rates on manufactured cotton has already lowered the price of cotton 1 cent a pound is ; trying to impose upon men . that he supposes to be more ignorant than himself. If not, let him explain why under the high tariff on imported cotton goods cot ton fluctuated from 6 to, 15 cents. Home and Farm. . : . QUT OF THE FIRE.
