Present, Past and Future. Affairs in China are still an un known quantity. There had been a little hope that matters could be some how adjusted soon ; but the news that South China is soon to engage in a general uprising, causes one to lose hope of any speedy settlement of the troubles. It has been in the prints that the month of November will wit ness perhaps even greater disturbances there than we have kuown at all. Bat let us hope that it will not be so. The estimate that the cotton crop will be 250,000 bales less than the nec cessary amount to supply the world's demand, is indeed significant. This means that even a large crop next year could not reduce the price to 4, 5 or 6 cents which was the price a few years ago. It means that the farmers of the South have a chance to place themselves on a solid basis of independ ence. It takes only half as much cotton now to pay "an old debt" as it did five yearaago; and with a good prospect for this state of affairs to con tinue at least one or two years longer, the farmers ought to be able to "get straight" again. It is simply a wonder how mnch in formation the world gets out of news papers. Whoever reads even one good newspaper regularly and carefully finds enough information to give him a fairly good education in two decades. To be sure, one does not learn the principles of mathematics and the like in a technical way, but the general fund of information gathered is really sarpris'-Tif that newspapers tell so eoplQ do not j ucner source, ought to cause those who pub lih ?.p?T3 to I2 what tbay print. The world has never yet come to realize what its newspapers are worth. Perhaps with the coming of the new century, when people expect to make go many improvements and do so much more and; learn so much more, the real value of newspapers will be appre ciated. Four years ago William Jennir gs BryaiT astonished the world by his physical endurance, to say nothing of his wonderful intellectual grap. His campaign of 1896 was the most remarkable ever known in this country, or perhaps in any country. His pres ent campaign is regarded as even more remarkable than that of 189b. The Memphis Commercial Appeal says : "Mr. Bryan Is now making the most emarkable campaign witnessed in the Ifil T7 history of American pounce, xuur years ago he canyassed the country, and astonished the people by the num ber of speeches' he made. Merely as a teBt of physical endurance that cam paign was remarkable ; but though he varied his speeches somewnat to sun local conditions, he had a central theme which he emphasized everywhere. Naturally this gave a sameness to nis speeches and tooK away the keenness and interest. We do not mean in any way to belittle his achievements four years ago, but simply to call attention to the fact that his campaign this year outclasses his campaign of 1896. "What has particularly impressed us the readiness he has shown in meet s' everv isstfe. Some of the best speeches he has made have been in an- j swer to questions propounutw rom the audience. It has been sup posed that Bourke Cockran was un rivaled in this line, but Mr. Bryan has shown himself even apter and quicker at countering upon a querist than tne famous New York orator. Every aa- dressthathehas made la full ot new ideas and arguments, and goes to prove that he is not only the most eloquent, but the readiest orator now before the American people."

E. T.wun-u Co SCOTLAND BOY TOTED. A FAITHFUL BOY'S FOBTUNZL He Was Willing To Handle British, Boys and Girls. People laughed when they saw the sign again. It seemed to be alwayB In Mr. Peters' window. For a day or two sometimes for only an hour or two -it would be missing, and passers by would wonder whether Mr. Peters had at last lound a boy to suit him; but sooner or later It was sure to appear again. J "What sort of a boy, does he want, anyway?" one and 'another would ask, and then they would say to each other that they supposed he was look ing for a perfect boy, and, In their opinion, he would look a good while before he found one. Not that there were not plenty of boys as many as a dozen used sometimes to appear in the course of a morning, trying for the situation. Mr. Peters was said to be rich and queer, and for one or both of the reasons, the boys were anxious to try to Buit him. "All he wants is a fellow to run on errands ; it must be easy work and sure pay" this was the way , they talked to one another ; but Mr. Peters wanted something more than a boy to run errands. John Simpson fonnd it out, and this is the way he did it. He had been engaged that very morning, and had been kept busy all the forenoon at pleasant enough work ; and although he was a lazy fellow, he rather enjoyed the place. "It was toward the middle of the afternoon that he was sent up to the attic, a dark and dingy place, inhabit ed by mice and cobwebs. "You will find a long, deep box there," said Mr. Peters, "which I want to have put in order. It stands right in the middle of the room you can't miss it." John looked doleful. "A long, deep box? I should thins it wrs !" he said to himself, as the attic oOi closed after him. "It will weigh almost a ton, I guess ; and what is there in it? Nothing in the world hut old nails, and screw, and pieces of iron, and broken keys, and things rubbish, the whole of it. Nothing worth touching ; and it is as dark aa . a pocket up here, and cold besides. How the wind blows in through the knot holes ! There s a mouse. If there is anything I hate, it's mice ! I tell you what it Is, if old Peters thinks I am going to stay up here and tumble over his old rusty nails, he's much mis taken. I wasn't hired tor that kind of work." "Whereupon John bounced down the attic stairs three at a time, and was found lounging in the show win dow an hour afterwards when Mr. Peters appeared. "Have you put the box in order already ?" was the gentleman's ques tion. "Didn't find anything to put In or der ; there was nothing In It but old nails and things." "Exactly. It was the nails and things that I wanted put in order. Did you do it?" "No, sir. It was dark up there and old ; and I didn't see anything worth doing. Besides, I thought I was hired to run on errands?" 'Oh, I thought you were hired to do as you were told." But he smiled pleasantly enough, and -at once gave John an errand to go down town ; and the boy went off chuckling, declaring to himself that he knew how to manage the old fel low ; all It needed was a little standing up for his rights. Precisely at six o'clock John was called and paid the sum promised him for a day's work ; and then to his dis may, was told that his services would not be needed any more. He asked no questions. Indeed, he bad time for none, as Mr. Peters lmmeaiateiy closed the door. rhAnext morning the old sign, "Boy Wanted," appeared in Its usual plaoe. But before noon it was taken down, nhnrlin Jones was the fortunate auu w hov. Errands plenty of them I was kept busy until within an hour o! closing. Then, behold I he was rm to the attic to put the long fvr in order. He was no afraid of o mnnna nor of the cold, but he grumbled much oyer the box.

MMOI EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. NECK, N. C THURSDAY. OCTOBER 18 , rusty, and the hooks are bent or some thing." "Very well." said Mr. Peters, and he sent him to the postoffice. What do you think? By the close of the next day Charlie had been paid and discharged, and the old sign hung in the window. "I've no kind of a notion why I was discharged," grumbled Charlie to his mother. "He said he had no fault to find, only he saw that I wouldn't suit. It's my opinion that he doesn't vant a boy at all, and takes that way to cheat. Mean old fellow !" It was Crawford Mills who was hired next. He knew neither of the other boya, and o did hiserrodf in blissful Ignorance of the long box until the second morning ot his stay, when in a leisure hour he was sent to put It in order. The morning passed, dinner time came, and still Cr iwford had not appeared from the attic. At last Mr. Peters called him. "Got through?" "No, sir ; there is ever eo much more to do.'' "All right. It ia dinner-tin e now. You may go bnck to it after dinner." After dinner he went back. All the short afternoon he was not heard from ; but just as Mr. Peters was deciding to call him again he appe red. 'I've done my best, sir," he said, "and down at the very bottom of the box I found this." "This" was a five dollar gold piece. "That's a queer p'ice for gold," said Mr. Peters. "It's good you found it. Well, sir, I suppose you will be on hand to-morrow morning?" This be said as he waa putting the gold-piece in his pocket-book. After Crawford bad said good night and gone, Mr. Peters took the antern and went slowly up the attic stairs. There was the long, deep box in which the rubbish of twenty-five years had gathered. Crawford had evidently been to the bottom. He had fitted shingles to make compart ments, and in these different rooms he had placed the articles with bits of shingles laid on top, abd labeled thus : "Good screws," "Picture-nails." Small keys, somewhat bent." "Pic ture-hooks. "Pieces of iron whose use I don't know." And so on through the long box. In perfect order It was at last, and very litt.'e that really could be called useful could be found within it But Mr. Peters, as he bent over and read the labels, laughed gleefully, and murmured to the mice : "If we are not both mistaken, I have found a boy and he has found a fortune." Sure enough. The sign disappeared from the window, and was seen no more. Crawford became the well-known errand-boy of the firm of Peters & Co. He had a little room neatly fitted up next to the attic, where he spent his evenings, ana at tne loot oi me Dea. hangs a motto which Mr. Peters gave him. "It tells ycur fortune for you, don't forget it," he said, when he hand ed it to Crawford ; and the boy laugh ed and read It curiously : "He that is faithful in that which is least, is faith ful in much." "Ill try to be, sir," and he never once thought of the long box over which he had been faithful. All this happened years ago. Craw ford Mills ia errand-boy no more, but the firm is Peters, Mills & Co. A young man and a rich man. "He found his fortune in a long box of rubbish," Mr. Peters said once, laughing. "Never was a five dollar gold-piece so successful in business as that one of his has been ; It is good he found it." Then, after a moment of silence, he said, gravely : ".No, he didn't ; he found it in bis mother's Bible ; 'He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also m much.' It is true ; Mills the boy was faithful, and Mills the man we trust."

SOHE TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. How to Produce a Profitable Crop of Wheat. Stleeted. The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Com pany and the President of the Com pany, Mr. Fred Oliver ot Charlotte,N. C, have again demonstrated on their farms what can be done towards profit able wheat raising. The 250 acres which they had in wheat this year gave an average yield of 30 bushels per acre ; one field of 30 acres gave an aver age yield of 35 bushels, another field of 90 acres gaye an average yield of 33 bushels per acre. A field of 60 acres that was in wheat a year ago, sown by the former owner of the land, and which last year yielded only eight bushels per acre this year gave an aver age yield of 24 bushels to the acre. With such an illustration of what can be done by progrespive farming, why will the majority of farmers continue to be satisfied or it not satisfied, con tinue to curse their luck when their crop of wheat turns out only five to ten bushels per acre ? Thera is no reason, and in fact, it is a crime for any farmer to thrbw away his time and land by growing such a poor crop as the most of them now raise when they eould treble and quadruple the yieid by intelligent and progessiye farming. They must use better mules and ploughs to prepare the soil, using the best disc grain drills, having fertilizer distributors attached to plant and fer tilize the wheat using the best seed wheat even if it does cost a few cents per bushel more money, using not less than 400 lbs.high grade complete ferti lizer per acre instead 100 lbs of low grade acid and acid potash goods. Seed wheat that is free from broken and defective wheat and above all al most absolutely free from cockle seed is worth twice as much tor seeding as the seed wheat usually used. Still more important is the fact that seed wheat from a crop that gave a yield of 30 to 35 bushels per acre is superior to seed wheat from a crop that gave ouly five to ten bushels per acre. No far mer will attempt to raise mules and horses to jweigh 1,400 to 1,600 lbs; each and expect to succeed if he uses for breeding, stock that weighs from 500 to 800 lbs ;no breeder ot high -grade milch cows will expect to succeed except by using high grade stock. Last, but not least, they must use high grade fertilizer if the farmers expect to receive proper returns from land and labor. Why be satisfied by using 100 lbs. per acre of cheap. low grade fertilizer when four hundred lbs. of high grade fertilizer will give an increase of 15 to 25 bushels per acre? It costs no more, or very little more, to prepare the land lor a good crop than for a poor oe ; it costs no more to drill in good seed wheat, and 400 lbs. of high grade fertilizer per acre than to drill in poor seed wheat 100 lbs. ol poor, cheap fertilizer per acre ; it costs no more to cut an acre o f good wheat with a reaping machine than it does to run the machine over an acre of poor wheat, and the reaping machine leaves less wheat in the field ungathered if the crop is a good one than it does if the crop is m. r r .i a poor one. xao iarmers vi we south have the best market for their wheat, corn and hay of any sec tion m the United States, as they can obtain the same prices as the western farmer plus tha freight that ia charged from the west to the south. Why not then farm on a profitable plan and not, an unprofitable one? Use good stock and tools, good seed and fertilizer, good judgment and skill in handling labor and machinery, and above all work yourself as an example to your hired help, and you will find farming profit able. o Bam the Signature of- ASTOnZA.

NO. 42 The Census Of 1900, Selected. A Washington City special says : William K. Merriam, Director of the Census, predicts that the census of iyC0 will show the population ot the United States to be almost 76,000,000. This is not an official forecast, but is the opinion of Mr. Merriam. "There are 52,700 enumeration dis tricts in the United btatea," taid Mr. Merriam, "and they vary considerably. They started at an average of 1,500, and have gone down to 1,422. At pres ent the average is again rising. The farming communities are showing con siderable rise in population. "Up to to-day noon we have count ed 47,500,000 people, find are now counting at the rata ci a million a Jay. The increase in the work of counting is due io the fact that the employe? in this department heye been benefited materaily by their training, and are now all experts at the work. Ik is al so accounted for by the fact that the faster an employe works the more money he or she gets. In the punchhig department the salaries range from $50 to 75 per month. The workers start ed at $50, and were given to under stand that they would ba given fGO it they accomplished so much additional work and $75 for a still further in crease. As a re&ult, a month after this order was promulgated hundreds were promoted and the work increased at an astonishing rate. "The census work Is classed under four heads : Population, manufactur ing, department of agriculture and vi tal statistics. In the manufacturing census, 585,000 eebedules are already in, and the total will amount probably to 650,000. This is against a total of 350,000 schedules given by the last cen-1 aus. The manufacturing census is well j up, the tabulation is going on, and the field work is all finished. "01 the 5,800,000 farm schedules in the department of agriculture ceutus, all but a few are in. These must be edited, which mean careful reading and correcting by a corpa of editors, and must all be entered by electrical machinery. Seven hundred employes are engaged on the farm census wcrk, and this number will have to be ma terially iaorcanad. "The clerical forces employed in the Census Department numbers 3,400. Twenty-tour hundred are at work here in this building on B. between First and Second streets northwest, and the rest are located in the Globe and Union buildings, 700 being in the last mentioned place. "The preliminary census work start ed about March, 1899. We haye had a field force oi about 50,000 to 55,000 taking names. They have all report ed with the exception of four portfolios leaving a total of 51,696 portfolios turn ed in.

In the Calcutta region recently there was a rainfall of no less than 35 inches in three days and the greater part of the city was covered with three feet of water. The flooded area with its population of many millions has suffered terrible losses of life, property and crops.
