Friday, Novkmbbk 28, 1902. THE PROSPECT OF TOBACCO. It would be folly for The Heij ai.d to assert that high prices continue the rule on this tobacco market, when acomparison is in tended to be made with the prices prevailing .'10 or 60 days ago. Our readers know that the prices on all grades have declined very materially of late, not only on the Smithfield market but on all the markets of the bright tobac co section. Fortunate is he who had the foresight to dispose of his crop early. Unfortunate are those who yet have their crop to sell. The latter class will sacrifice a great sum to the insatiate greed of the money power, more famil iarly the Trust. The crop of the present jear, succeeding, as it did, the short crops of the two years previous, was expected, with reason, to sell for a good price. The crop of late years had been short, the supply was diminished. The de mand for the manufactured goods had, on the other hand, been con stantly increasing. The natural law of diminished supply with in creased demand should create a good price for the weed. For this reason the farmers of North Carolina confidently expected high prices. They had the right to expect them. If they were now securing justice they would now be obtaining the true value of their crop. The relative profit per acre corn,cotton or tobacco should not determine the price to be paid to the farmer for his pro duce. The value of the raw ma terial should be commensurate .?il a1 l e . i ? who trie vaiue 01 cne manutact ured product. The demand for an article should be allowed to exert its natural influence upon the value of that article. It is altogether unjust that a government-protected monopoly should be the dividing barrier between these forces. It is mani festly wrong that the National government should protect, or even tolerate an organization such as is the tobacco trust. The injustice is conceded, the wrong exists and will continue to exist until the farmers exer cise the power that is theirs. An organization of the tobacco farmers of the Carolinas has be come a serious necessity. Con certed action can alone remedy the condition. Contraction of the crop, pro longed marketing, and a more complete system of diversified farming will accomplish more than any agency of legislation, even if the law-makers of the country could be prevailed upon to legislate for the farmer's good. The present condition is indeed distressing. There is no compe tition in the purchase of thecrop. There is none in the sale of the manufactured product. We would advise our farmer friends to be very conservative in plan ning their acreage for the coming year. FOll SAL 10. A few shares of common stock Bmithfield Cotton Mill for sale. This will no doubt be very valu able property in the near future. J. M. BEATY. Buck's Stoves and Ranges. SOME PRESS COMMENTS. Live Topics of Interest Dis cussed by North Carolina Editors. Judge Fred Moore did a wine and proper thing in removing the Wilcox casefrom Pasquotank county.

What the county and btate need most is not a few men and women of eminent, scholarship but every man, woman and child elevated to a place of higher in telligence. This can be accom plished through well organized, well disciplined public schools.? The Robtsonian. Mecklenburg county is to have a complete rural'free deli very ser vice. This is the first county in the State to have a complete ser vice and when it is remembered that Mecklenburg has more miles of good road than any other county in the State the matter is easily explained. In this matter good roads are a two-fold bless ing.?Durham Herald. Some one has suggested as a presidential ticket Olney and Aycock for 1904. This suits us. The Tribune has been for Olney and Mr. Aycock is more than ac ceptable for a running mate.? Concord Tribune. If you cannot say a good word for your town, keep your measly mouth shut and don't say any thing. The town is a good deal better than you are and, every time you say anything against it you slander it.?Aberdeen Tel egram. Twenty years from now North Carolina will have as good a road law, as good an election and as good a tax law as any of her sister States. Why not have them now?

What is an Accumulation Policy in the New York Insurance Company. It is A Policy absolutely without Restrictions; A policy with but One Condition, namely, the payment of premiums; A Policy with a Month's Grace in premium payments und paid in full in case of death during the month of grace, less only the overdue premium with interest; A Policy providing for Re-instatement within five years after default in pay ment of premiums if the insured is in good health; A Policy automatically non-forfeiting when the first deposit has been made; A Policy with Privilege of Loans at five per cent, interest, any time after ex pi ration of second year; A Policy with Six Options in settlement at the end of 15, 20, 25 or 80 years; A POLICY INCONTESTABLE FROM DATE OF ISSUE; A Policy payable immediately on receipt of proofs of death in one sum or a selected number of Instalments. The Oldest and Largest International Life Insurance Company in the World. Modern New York Life Insurance is not simply to insure a per son's life against death, but is an opportunity to purchase an Ac cumulation and investment Policy. He is not only making an in vestment for himself and his family, but is immediately protecting j himself and his family against any and all future financial contin gencies; that after making the first payment, he has in his posses sion a contract that is speedily to become as valuable to him ner sonally, while living, as it immediately is to his family in case of his premature death. Every intelligent business man will buy an Accumulation Policy the moment he fully understands its peculiar advantages and splendid benefits. A policy is collateral security on which you can i always borrow money. , From the above you see the New York Life has adapted Insur , ance to the modern requirements and has a policy superior to any issued by any company in the world. For further information as to the cost, protection and benefits of the New York Life, please address, JOSEPH R. ATKINSON or GEORGE D. VICK. Sclma, N. C.
