(By Bion H. But'er)
Two or three years ago Robert N.
Page said to nio thajgiuiless wo want
to see our fureigu K to Hin
ders aftei the v\ HMHHI' to en
courage the nations ope in ev-|
er> way we know how, and that if we
do not collect our debt.-) over there in
tlx' form of goods we will have mighty
slow payments. His prediction is last
being verified, and the farmer is feel
ing the results for the farmer of the
United States is a producei for ex
port. Half of lilt- cotton crop must
go abroad or we must make a small -
er crop. A large amount ol our to
bacco must g| abroad or we must
make a smaller crop, l'ut Europe has
no money to pay with, if we exact
payment in gold and certainly no one
will take depreciated European eur
lency. So our foreign trade slumps
olf, and our factories are shut down.
(.'o-optuulivt^h'i'aiketiiig, and all the
other schemes to relieve the situation
of the farmer are wasted tune if we
mail up our foreign market, either by
refusing to deal with them or by re
tubing their money. But look at what
we are doing. In September of this'
year, accoriiing.t'i the monthly bulle
tin from the I nited State.' treasury
our import.-? of good totaled slßi>.
ot'tt.obft r] which i-, not, ij 11 ill- half 11.'
total for the same month a year ago.
Our expoi-ts fell from $801,000,000 to
for tlie similar month*
For the nine months ending with Sep
tember t.hi-i >ear our imports were sl,-1
872,755,0U0, against s4,3&K,o'>tu>oo foi
the same nine months of last year ami
our exports were $3,5b2,000„000 for
the nine months of this year as- a
gainst $,079,000,000' for the same per
iod last year. Now if we look at this
we find that our foreign trade ha
fallen oir by more than/a half. What
is worse, in the last months the ex
cess of exports over imports is almost
ax great a it was in the same perai.i
foi the year preceding, j
Eurpoe Drained of GoSd
This is simply to say that we are
allowin gthe old world to go dee pel
into debt each year and with no pros
pect-of paying what it alreailv 'owns.
Our imports of gold in the first nine
months of the year exceeded a half
billion 'dollars sent to us because Eu
rope had nothing else that it could pay
with. But we have drained Europe
of her gold, and now it Tias"come to"
the point where if we are to trado
with the world we must take world
products.
In the face of all this we have nl.ed
up a new tariff to keep foreign good*

TurilT Kills Foreign Crop
It is absurd to think that a cotton
crop of seven million bales is enough,
for the. needs of the world when we
have made and sold for years in sue
cession a crop that exceeded twelve
million bales and reached as high a.
sixteen million bales. The whole truth
about the collapse of th ecotton mar
ket is that we have allowed our for
eign market to he killed by our ab
surd tariff policy and our attitude UK
ward the Industrie sof the old world.
We can never get a satisfactory pria
for a cotton crop of any magnitudi
unless the world is able to buy thi
cotton, and if we are to make a cot
ton crop of seven million hales instem
of one of fourteen .million bales ou,
great industry in the outh is a mock
ery of what it was and what it shouh
be. With oil and seed an dmeal am
lint the cotton crop of the South i. l
throwing away about seven hundrti
| million dollars a year if we are to lost
the seven million bales that makes tin
difference between the crop of tin.
year and the average of recent nor lif a i
years. Yet the wise men who talk oi
the virtues of tariff tell us that Wf
need a tariff on cotton that
share in the Sotilu with those othei
protected sections that think they get
a profit from barring ou foreign trade
But killing the foreign trade is not
a crime ogainst the South alone. Wliei
the cotton states lose their hundred)
of millions they lark' that amount t
pay for things the protected factories
of the North would make and sell am
business is disorganized everywhere
We lose as a nation all the benefit
from the big foreign business and i
we keep on pouring our,.goods int
markets that cannot paj it is not ban
to tell what is to happen to us. V\
will find a bankrupt Europe owing u
money that cannot IK- collected, an
we will soe our money tied up ie
debts that will leave us the bag ti
hold for the amount"of billions, and
we cannot find much satisfaction ii
that sort of prospect.
Tariff's Deadly Work
The tariff that was to protect the
fanner along with tine Northern inan
ufacturer'has protected wheat down
to a few cenfs above a dollar ab ushe!
j. ami has protected cattle: until we have
a smaller number in proportion to tV
population than probably at any l.iinT
in our national history. Our cotton
crop at 50 per cent production is sell
ing just atrifle higher than normal
croßs sold for in previous years.
The crop of 1910, almost twelve
million bales, sold Mr over 14 cents 77
on the Ist of December that year.
The crop of apparentyl seven million
bales under protection looks as though
it would sell for maybe a cent high
er in December of thin year. Th-* trot
of 1910 was w:orth -about half more
i than the crop of 1912 according to
Mtese figures, whihe are from govern-
I went reports.
This is what shutting us out from
the markets of Europe is doing to the
American farmer. This is not a polit
ical matter. It is the most serious
danger that American industry has
ever faced. It invites disaster to this
country and to all we do business with
and unless it is relieved no man is
prophet enough to tell where the
whole world will .land. i

WEDDING OF UNUSUAL
INTEREST ON TUESDAY
A wedding of much interest to- the
people of Williaiuston and W: l.ing"

toll. Rev. Walter B. Clark olllciated,
using the ring ceremony.
Tlio church was beautifully decor
ated with yellow and white chrysan
themums with a background of long
loaf pine and myrtle. The shadows
cast from candles in gold candlesticks
burning on th» altar made a very ef
fective background for this mari iage
which was lovely in its simplicity.
Mrs. Warren 11. Biggs played sever
al selections while the guests vveiv.* ai
ming and Mrs. J. S. Rhodes* sweetly
sang "O Promise Me," and "Because."
• As the organist began the wedding
march by Mendelssohn, the ushers,
Messrs Herman Carrow and Frontis
llurbank of Washington came up the
aisle. Then camo the Matron of Hon
or, Mrs. D. Collins Barnes of Mur
freosboro gowned in electric silk with
black georgette ovx-r satin and carry
ing yellow chrysanthemums. Preced
ing the bride came the-two little flow
er girls, Misses Eugenia lloyt and
Alice Seawright of Dashington, neice
of llu> groom. They wore organdy
dresses with blue ribbon* and hats
trimmed with dainty flower*.
Next came the bride with her
brothers, Mr. Jno. W. Biggs, who gave ,
her away. They were n**t tit the .a'-
tar steps by the bridegroom and his
brother, Mr. Walter Ilogart of Nor

After the ceremony they took the
Atlantic Coast Line train for Daytona, .
Florida, where they will spend sev
eral weeks. They will also visit Jack
sonville while away.
Mrs. Bogurt is one of the most be
loved young women ever reared in
Williamston. By her gentle manner
and lovable disposition site has endear
ed herself to th* town and
community and it is with great rcgjvt
that the jk'ople see her leave.' She

Mr. Ilogart is the son of Mrs. Dav
Bngart and the late Col. Dave Bogurt

uess man of high standing. The pop
ularity of both contracting parties

presents received by them. The col
lection of silver was very large anil
in the collection was a finit basket
that belonged to the bride's great*
great-grandmother and a present n
the bride's mother.

/Much gratification should com*.from
th« above figures to all oNrth Caro
linians- because fewer people in our
state owff money on their home than
any other state in the union except
Nevada. The whole South can als*
Tind grmind for joy from the same
table. Every Southern state shows
that, there is no encumbrance on a
bove 71 per cent of the homes, whilu
in tli/ New England states the high
est is lower than the lowe.it In the
.South and in three, Rhod* Island.
Massachusetts and Connecticut mu«*
than half of the homes are encum
bered by mortgages. ,
The great trust ridden state of New
Jei>*>y show* only 38 per cent 0/ the
homes clear of mortgages, Whon the
South takes couragn and pulls for it
self it will come into its own and will
stand well in front of any other part
of the world.
