(\ Branson, of the Entension Dei>artment of the University of North , Carolina, has made an extensive study of . farm conditions in North Carolina, other ] States in the Union and in foreign I countries. He knows these conditions t as well as any man in the South, per- j haps, and it is startling to read some fig- j ures he has made public. Dr. Branson says there are 1.241.000 j citizens in the State "who do not own a < single foot of ground they cultivate, nor i a single shingle of the roof over their 1 heads.” Dr. Branson rightly contends ' that the matter is a very serious one, and j it is little less than shocking to see . comparisons made between farmers in , this and other countries in the matter of i land owning. Dr. Branson's interpretation of this > condition is interesting. Touching upon 1 the reason that so many of the people of this State are under the yoke of tenant ry. he says: "The feeling for the essential power of thrift is largely lacking among the Am- ■ erican people today. They see their im- j mediate needs and forget that they should he willing to forego them in view of more permanent things. The average Ameri- | can sees wliat he wants and gets it. whether it be bread, bonnets or paregor- : : e. It is from this widespread lack of : thrift that bur own problem of farm and 1 home ownership arises.” The Charlotte News says Dr. Brunson is right in his deductions and the Char- ( lotte contemporary sums the whole thing up with the statement that our people do not own their farms because they do not care whether they own them or not. In difference and satisfaction with tenantry are causes, but pteastfte conies first. The News says: “A vast number of these more than 1.200.000 of our people who are shiftless and homeless and land less are in that condition because they don't care, because they are not ambitious to get out of it and because they ure cen tering their interests, labors, affections 1 and determinations upon other things far ; less important and far less contributory I to tlieir worthiness as citizens." Too, many people are letting pleasure interfere with other activities. They do j not buy farms because they take all of j their money for amusements. They want 1 automobiles and luxuries and so long as J they are in that frame of mind they do I not care whether they ever have any land! of their own. 4,. HA,—, FARMERS IN THE STATE LEGIS LATUES. Farmers are still well represented in • the North Carolina General Assembly } and in the assemblies of other States, al-' though their number is not so great in! Congress. More than one-fourth of the members. ,of the General Assembly in 1 titeivure tanners. - . I Os the-HI senators iu the state legisltt . tttre, 7 ate; fibers. anfi 31 out of the' 180 members of the lower house list themselves as agriculturists.

'JI **. al ,1 lowa witt A farm population of 46 . per cent, has 99 farmers in its legisla f ture membership of 158, the highest pro . portiton of any of the states studied, the j Foundation states. Pennsylvania with • its 11 per cent, farm population, has on ly 15 farmers in its legislature out of a ! total of 258 members. Mrs. Mabel A- Gillespie, of Gretna;. a member of the j Nebraska lower house, is the only farm ■ er’s wife on record holding a legisla j t:ve job. i The ratio of representation of farmers ,iu Congress is lower than the average . found in the State legislatures, aeeord ‘, ing to the Foundation. With a national farm population of 30 per cent., the 69th ■ Congress finds only five fanners in the Senate and 21 in the House of Represen tatives. i, i-.—. _. . Western North Carolina is attracting thousands of visitors at present, and in almost every instance where jieople are t making the trip for the first time they are amazed with what they see. That is true also, of some North Carolbiians who have been out of the State for a number of years and are coming back for a va cation in "The Land of the Sty." The good roads of the State are giving the tourists a chance to visit parts of the State he was afraid to visit before, and the splendid of these parts is as grand as that in the more familiar sections. De velopments are in progress in sections that have been opened up only during the . past two seasons and while some of the present larger cities are certain to draw their crowds in the future, at the same time they will be forced to share the vis itors with new centers of interest that have been made possible by the good roads. EXPLAINS RESIGNATION OF BRYAN DURING 1915 Difficulty Arose Over Note to Austria Which President Wilson Altered. Portland. Ore.. July 28.—Milton A. Miller, of Portland, an intimate friend of the late William Jennings Bryan, to day gave an account that Bryan told him in 1920 of why he happened to quit the.cabinet of President Wilson. It has , notliing to do with the President's note* to Germany, as dispatches have reported, said Miller. Miller said Mr. Brown told hint the l nited States was having trouble with Austria during the summer of 1915 and ! it was thought the Austrian embassy was plotting with the German war of fice to cripple American plants. Mr. Bryan prepared a note which Mr. Wil son approved and Bryan sent it to the . cable office after delivering a ropy to the Austrian ambassador. Dr. Konstantin Theodor Dumba, with the statement that the note to Austria would be sent Pile t same as the copy Dr. Dumba received. A few days later Dr. Dumba called ! at the state department in an angry . mood and said the note as received by | his government was different from that be bad received from Mr. Brvan. Later, Mr. Bryan got the original copy from the cable office and he is quoted as saying "to my mortification 1 found President Wilson had obtained the copy from the cable office before it was sent and had marked out many of the clauses of mine and had inserted in Mis own handwriting a great deal of matter 1 knew- nothing about. '“I went to the President and he of fered no explanation why he had not consulted me about making the changes after he had OK'd the note. I saw there was infilling for me to do but re sign. which I did. As the President did not give out wtiy I had tendered my resig nation. I did not think l should do so. The world has the idea I resigned on ac count of the President's note to Ger many. Let it think so." • Bryan's resignation was aeceepted June 8. 31)15. and Robert Lansing was appointed in his place. Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter. New York. July 28.—Pending the ap pearance of "aedge selling iu larger vol ume to increase the floating supply of drmtraets it is axiomatic that the market will Ibe narrow, nervous and sensitive to even moderate supporting orders. As the movement in south Texas Is growifig. however, and will presently be increased by the movement from southern Georgia. Alabama ami Louisiana it is only rea sonable to anticipate thut offerings will presently be larger and correspondingly difficult to absorb unless In the meantime demand for cloths and yarns at prices more in keeping with the cost of produc tion experiences a more rapid and exten sive growth than seems at all probable. From a technical point of view the condition of the market lacks muc'i of being satisfactory. Many former bears have covered and are now bullish and long anticipating that the next report will show a further and perhaps equally •severe losii as the Hist flltfl firing on a scramble to buy regardless of prices. The theory is not entirely satisfactory as in the first place no one can fore cast how the reports from the fields may be juggled or what the result may be while in t'iie uext place it is hardly prob ably that mills will rush to buy cotton | at prices which under existing trade con jditions leavb them staring ruin in the 1 face. A fresh crop of speculative buy- I ers may develop and permit older longs to securt profits but unless the report ! proves surprisingly bullish there is a ■ strong likelihood that there will b more I for sale than will be wanted. I The deplorable condition in Texas is familiar to all and Oklahoma is begin ' ning to suffer but eastern belt advices ! are unusually favorable and it looks that j a good deal of Fie crop there lias now j passed the Stage where it is exposed to I serious weevil damage. To warrant I further advances steady and severe, de terioration is required with at the same time constant improvement in the goods , markets. I'OST AND FLAGG.

Mass., July 28.—Although President Coolidgc has no late specific information regarding the textile indus try, he is convinced there is no general depression and believes conditions are as satisfactory as could be expected dur ing the post war period.
