FRIDIY SEPTEMBER 16.1906.
Fanners Fix Price on Cotton.
The farmers met in Asheville
last week to fix the minimum price
on cotton, agreeing on eleven cents
as the price. It was arbitrarily
fixed at eleven cents while at the
voting contest many votes were
cast for twelve. The price began
to decline immediately, the buyers
thinking and knowing much cotton
will have to be sold at any price
offered and they will wait' to pay
only eleven cents for when those
who can hold for a higher price
have agreed to and. will put it on
the market at eleven cents. The
law of supply and demand cannot
be regulated arbitrarily for cotton
permaneutly any more than for
any other article and it seems a
waste ot time to attempt any such
thing. Thev arbitrarily fix the
price of cotton and complain at the
Standard Oil Company for doing
the same thing. We should I*
glad for farmers to get a good
price as any body, but, we do not
think the farmer can arbitrarily
fix the price of cotton. They may
temporarily affect the market if
they made every body sell at the
price fixed but it would only b»
temporary for the natural laws ol
supply and demand will supercede
any artificial regulation. High
price will cause less of it to be used
somethiug else cheaper will be
substituted and besides those not
in the ring would grow cotton and
sell it at a lower price than agreed
on.
Uki Fillig Money
Finding health is like finding
money—so think those who are
sick. When you have a cough,
cold, sore throat, or chest irrita
tion, better act promptly like W.
C. Barber, of Saudy Level, Va.
He says: "1 bad a terrible
trouble, cullseil by smoke and cCul
dust on my lungs; but, after find
ing no relief in other remedie*, 1
was cured by Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption.
Coughs and Colils." Greatest sal
or any cough or lung medicine in
the world. AtS. K. Bigg's !rup
store; 50c and $1.00; guaranteed.
Trial bottle free.
The Ro,ad to Wealth.
Of course North Carolina get*
much money from converting it
cotton into cheap cloth and its to
bacco into cigarettes, smoking am
plug, but the profit in this hi*
manufacturing is not nearly st
great as when the products of th«
farm are converted into the small
things upon which there is mucl
skilled labor. Charlotte has a fac
tory that makes six liuudred dozei
handkerchiefs out of cotton even
day, thus converting a bale of
Mecklenburg cotton for which th« 1
fanner receives fifty dollars int
handkerchiefs which, it is estirna
ted, bring several thousand dollar*.
Other cities and towns arc buildin)
up small industries. The Gasto
nia Gazette notes that Newton ha
a successful factory for making
pasteboard boxes, the kind that
hosiery and other knit goods art
packed in.
There are a hundred different
sorts of small factories that wil
pay well and they can be establish
ed with small capital. The chiti !
capital necessary is brains an*
knowledge of the needs of a pai 1
ticular world. The young mat
who knows one thing well and * ;
ready to put his life into it nee
not wish for capital. It can Ik j
had as soon as he demonstrates In
ability. In the direction of multi
plied small industries lies the road
to wealth in North Carolina.
The above taken from the News
and Observer needs to be read and
considered by every citizen interest
ed in the upbuildiug of his own
community. The necessary means
are skill and determination rather
than money and the exactly suit
able natural conditions. We have
insisted that our people were ac
f. V .
acquainted with only farming and
merchandising and it was the doing
of one off these two or leave the
country. We should have a va
riety of industries and let every
m— employ his talent as will
bring moat pleasure to him and
wealth to the community.
Williamston has an immediate
demand for a coach shop, a factory
for overalls and one for knitting.
We need a brick kiln and a plain
ing mill. Then we should save
freight on building material for
the giowth of the town. The sav
ing of money is as much gain as
the making We need electric
lights so we can stop payiug tribute
to the Standard Oil Co. Tlrere are
numbers off enterprises we might
name that mean wealth, but the
trouble is getting them started.
Autumn Dunce.
On Tuesday evening from ten
until two the society men of; the
town gave the first dance of the
autumn to the ladies. It was a
pleasant occasion with which to
begin the season's gaities. The
figures of the cotiliion were led by
Mr. C. B. H asset I. assisted by Mr.
E. H. Hardison. The uiusic, the

>f Cholera Morbus with One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler, of High
ower, Ala., relates an experience
le had while serving on a petit
ury in a murder case at Edwards
ille, county seat of Clebourue
ounty, Alabama. He says:
' While there I ate some fresh meat
ind some souce meat it, gave
ne cholera morbus in a very severe
1 oral. 1 was never more sick in
uy life and sent to the drug store
I»r a certain cholera mixture, but
he druggist sent me a bottle of
.'hamberlain's Colic, and Diar
lioea Remedy instead, saying that
e had what I sent for, but that
his medicine was so much better
ic would rather send it to me in
lie fix I was in. I took one dose
1 fit and was better in five min
tes. The second dose cured me
ntirely. Two fellow jurors were
til ic ted in the same manner and
ne small bottle cured the three of
is." For sale oy S. R. Biggs.

Monticello.
Communication.)
At the installation of Dr. Alder
man as president of the University
of Virginia, Mr. Jefferson Levy,
the present owner of Monticello,
threw open wide the doors and in
vited all to come to the old home
of Jefferson. So the old hospital
ity still goes on.
While Mr. Jefferson lived he en
tertained so mnch that at his death
be was a poor man and the estate
had to be sold It was bought by
Mr. Jefferson Levy, a Jew, now
worth about fifty million, who
keeps it in a fine condition and
who now claims it as an ancrestal
estate, being related to the Jeffer
sons, as he says: The place is the
top of a small mountain and hence
gets its name ' Monticello" from
the Italian word which means "lit
tle mountain." We are told that
Mr. Jefferson gave it the Italian
pronunciation and so we should.
On a fourth day of July an elder
ly lady, (member of an old Virgin
ian family) a New Yorker and I
drove out. Winding around and
around the mountain, passing or
chsrds of Albermarle pippins and
occasionally getting peeps of the
town below.
As we drove up the ringing bell
announced our entrance and the
were thrown open. Nearby
the house we passed a gentleman
dressed in a cream broadcloth suit
and a dog walking beside him.
Upon questioning a boy we found
that this was Mr. Levy. We also
learned that very seldom were peo
pie permitted to enter the home,
just on state occasions. So one of
our party, the Virgiuiau, took our
cards and walked down to see Mr?
Levy and beg of him to let us go
into the house. When she present
ed the cards with our request he
said, "you all will not touch any
thing ?" "Sir, I am a Virginian,"
she said, and then bowing low he
walked up the path and we all en
tered.
The plan of the house is the
same as in the old colonial days,
but all the furnishing.-, are modern
with the exception of an old violen
stand and the well kuown clock
with its key and folding ladder, all
of which Jefferson himself made.
Mr. Levy is a bachelor and qjjcu
pies the old bed-room of Mr Jef
ferson.
The old roof garden is still there.
It was here that Mr. Jefferson sat
for hours while the rotunda of the
University was being built, and
listened to the carjienters hammer
ing. "Fear if they nail ?
crooked" as he said eveu thoit was
two miles off.
The burying ground
monument is very plain and sjtuple
as he had
tion is that he is &eauthor of the
Declaration of Independence and
father of the University of Virginia
but not once is mcutioued that he
was president of the United States.
He requested that it should not lie
there.
Standing there gaziug at his
grave a feeling of deepest revereuce
comes over one. This man so
deeply affected by Voltaire, Diderot
Rosseau and other French writers
took the great view of democracy
an I tided us safely over whereas
the Freuch so sadly fell under.
With just this feeling we drove
off from " Monticello" to get glimp
ses elsewhere
"We passed along by McCue's
home aud found that his two
younger childreu still live in the
old home with their aunt. Know
the rumor of some time ago, we
asked the driver if he thought that
McCue was really dead. "Deed
Missus." he said, "I wouldn't lak
to take his chances.''
Then by E A. Poe's old room
we went. To superstitious minds
the fact that his room was number
thirteeu is a solvent to his dissipat
ed, nervous and short life.
A peep at president Monroe's
old home and then on the Ivy
Road until home agaiu.
All along this road we heard
names of great Virginians and too,
namerof of some of our great
North Carolinians are frequently
mentioned.
A few days later I asked Dr.
Currell, formerly of Davidson Col
lege, but now of Washington and
Lee College,' why so many of our
prominent men leave the State.
"North Carolina expects more in
return for the dollar than any
other state," he said. "Why I
jfet more at Washington and Lee
than the professors at your Univer
sity." It is a fact we should real
