. Raleigh, Feb. 28th. Declaring that
there is a manifest studied effort .on tlie
part of the Kitchin snd the Simmons
forces in the campaign now for the U.
Sehate to ignore and as far as they
eon make it appear that there are only
the two, Governor Kitchin and Senator
Simmons', in the running for this high
office,' ex-Governor Chwles B. "Ayeock
insists that he will prove to be very
much in the running and makes the
definite announcement that he will open
his active speech making campaign
about April lsUin the auditorium here.
He expects to make his second speech
in Charlotte and during the next sever
al months intends to go in every sec
tion of the Stat i carrying his campaign
even to the women and children, as he
expressed' it. Governor Ayeock left
for an absence of a month that he will
spend out of the State for the purpose
fof further recuperating his health. He
gays that he has not begun an active
campaign earlier because ha wants to
save lh-3 people as long as possible the
distraction and turmoil of a stienuous
campaign such as th's promises to be,
Dr. Henry Louis Smith. President of
Davidson College, N. t'., who several
weeks ago was unanimously elected by
the board of trustees to the presidency

words dispatched his formal acceptance
to the president of the board of trus

transfer of Dr. Smith's professional ac
tivities from North Carolina to Virgin

tioaal institutions are now presided over
by North Carolinians, including Dr. Al
derman of the University of Virginia)
was the heavy, constant and w det pread
pressure that hod been brought to bear
on him in the effort lo keep Dr. Srai-h

those icfluences.

: THE SOUTH
High Prices Lead Farmer Into alt
; oorbj of Extra va- !
Charleston, S. C, Feb. 28td. King
Cotton has fooled the South.' again an
old trick of his. Seven years of hiJ
high prices bas not left us able to stand
three months of low priced says E. Mc
Iver Williams In the News and Courier,'
Ten years ago no one dareJj to hope,
for such prosperity as we have lately
enjoyed. Yet in Bpite of this phenome
nal prosperity, in a few short months'
the South finds herself stunned and be
wildered. Few of us know where we are
whst we are worth, or what to do. Con
servative farmers once said: ''Give us
but five years Of 10 cent cotton and wp
will be. permanently independent,
This and more, they have had, yet their
declaration of independence is unan
nounced. , Adverse times have visited
us in the past; we have no right not to
expect them in the future. It is not
the . part or wisdom lo prepare for
them? Has seven years of high priced
cotton prepared ui for them? What
farther proof do we need that cotton
wilt never prepare us tor them? Ten
years ago many of us never expected
to see cotton so high as ten cents again
but it got there. We' did not expect
it to stay. We then thought it c ulil
not go down, and If et our heids, be-!
sides touch else of more value. The
South has never known such a crazs of
reckless spending as followed. No ex
travagance waj too great in order that
we might make big crops of cotton and
no debt too big to incur for luxuries, to
be paid with the same. Lands advanced
rapidly in price until the 100 acre m in.
who had supposed, himself worth $1000,
and had saved and economized on that
basis, so n became without any effort
on his part a $10,000 man. He had no
more land, nor was it more productive.
Yet he was now a $10,000 man, and
must live, spend and cease to econo
mize, as befitted his new station in life
This be did not fail to do.
The South Was crazed by prosperity
and leveled in extravagance. Every
body wanted everybody else's bands at)
any kind of prices. The most expen
sive mules only were privileged to culti
vate our great monopoly. They were
of Western origin, so was their costly j
food. Guano was used in the grtate&t'
profusion and confusion. The negro !
renter who had been making from thice
to four bales of cotton, without serious
ly hurting himself or the market, was
eagerly sought aa a partner in two,
three and four horse share crops, lie
likewise was furnished with tbe mot
expensive equipment, it being essential
that be should make a big erop of cotton
InordVr that we could get a big half. Alt
lands looked alike to ahem, and np,
(liability was too great for them to incur
for lh tame. They bought and rented
big plantations, and sought share crop
pers wherever they could be found. No
wages were too high fur them, to pay
nor inducement too great for them to
offer. No equipment- was t"o exp-n-slve
or quaatitity of gnano too great
for thtm to furnish. For there seemed
no baiden that higo-pticed cotton could
not bear and leaveapro6t. Thtse strenu
ous exertions were rewarded rith sig
nal success both In putting down the
price of cotton, as well aa in complete
ly demoralising labor.
