- Trade With Home Merchants.

The following tuken from the

Winston Journal applies so well
to Greenville that we reproduce
it.
Now that our mercbants have
spent their time and invested
large amcunts of money in purch-
asing their various lines of goods
in order to place themselves in
position to meet the wants of our
home people, it is justly due them
that we all givethem our entire
patronage. The elegant lines
displayed ought to more than sat"
iaty the taste of even the most
fastidious.

The sooner a larger per cent. of
our people come to realize that it
isiargely to their sdvantage to
trade with our home merchants
and get the foolish notion out of
their heads that it makes them
look much bigger in the eyes of
the people to make their purchas-
esaway from: home, the sooner
will they benefit themselves by
building up a much larger home
tradeand encouraging home er-
terprises. By all means let us all
quit this foolish practice of send-
ing away for our goods when our
wapts can be justly satisfied at
home.

The women are not the only
ones that follow this disgusting
fad, but many of the gentlemen:
are also found inthe same boat. It
would be suprising to kuow the
amount of purchases male away
from here ina year. We need all
the money we have got right
here, aid tet us invest it as home
and keep as much of it here as
yossible where all will be beaefit-
ed to some extent at least

A Permanent Census Bureau.

e
em en

Atthe approaching session of
Congress our national law-mak-
ers will be asked to consider the
advisability of establishing a
permanent census bureau, and
there are many reasons why the
proposed measure should be

adopted. ]

(Tn the first place, ~the syetem
now in yogue was adopted years

_. ago when the labor of taking the

- federal census was small in com-

impossible to take a correct cen-
sus of the nationTs growth under
the existing system ; for so great
is the amount of time and labor
which the undertaking necessa-
rily requires that when the cel-
sus is at last completed it is al-
together out of date, so far as
many of its figures are concern-
ed. The demands of the present
day call for something more sat-
isfactory: and, if a permanent
census bureau is not establish-
ed the existing system ought at
least to be modified in such a
way as tc overccme many of its
present defects.

Still another thing to be con-
sidered is that under the presenT
system it is necessary to employ

inexperienceu men eyery ten

years to do the work which

should fall to the lot of trained

veterans. This inexperience not

only causes long delay, but, what

is much worse, it frequently gives

rise to inaccurate results. With

a permanent bureau these diffi-

sulties could be readily over

come, and census reports of a

more reliable character coula be

furnished to the country at much

shorter intervals.

But there is still another 1m-

portant consideration. On the

basis of economy a permanent

census bureau should be estab~

lished. The present system may

perhaps cost less, but to pay for

something which fails to yield

satisfactory results 1s not econo-

my- Moreover. a permenent cen-

sus bureau would hardly cost

more in actual dcllars aad cents

than the present cumbersome and

antiquated system which has long

gurviyed both its usefulness and

ability. When the matter comes up

before Congress it should receive

makers. It will soon be time fer
makicg� drrangements to cover
the next regular census, and
whatever action is taken by
Congress, must be taken at cnce.

The Farmers Creed.

The following is suggested by
Professor Irby, of the North
Carolina State College as the sort
of creedto which all progressive
farmers should subscribe and
religiously adhere:

We believein small, well tilled
farms: that the soil must be fed
as well as the owner, so that the
crops skall make the farm and
farmer rich.

We believe iu thorough drainage
in deep plowing, and in labor
saying implemenis. '

barns conveniently arranged,
good orchards, and gardens and
plenty of home raised hog and
hominy.
We believe 1n raising pure bred
stock or in grading up the best
to be gotten; they equal the
thorouhhbreds.
We believein growing tke best
yarieties of farm cropa and saving
the choicest for seed.
We believe in fertilizing the
brain with phosphorous as well
as applying it to the soil.
We beliove in the proper care
and application of barnyard ma-
nure.

We believe that the best

fertilizers are of little vaiue unless
accompanied by industry, enter"
prise and intelligence. ~

We believe in rotation, diyer-
sification and thorough 2nultiva-
tion of crops. a

We believe that every farm
should own a good farmer and
every good farmer will eventually

own a good f

d farm,

We believe in good fences, |.

Mrs. TullTs Gin Burned
Saturday morning about 2 o'clock
Mrs. Winnie R. TullTs ginhouse,
about two and a half miles from
from Kinston, was destroyed. by
fire. The origin of the fre is
unknown. Mrs. TullTs son was
careful to sprinkle wate~ all
aroand the boiler when quitting
work Friday night.

Not only the gin house and
machinery were burned but also
Mrs. TullTs harrows, plows farm
implements, etc. She also lost
five bales of ginned cotton and
five bales of seed cotton and a
lot of cotton seed. Her loss is
about $800 to $1,000.

In addition to the above Mr.
Joe Stricklin lost two bates of
cotton; a colored man named
Albritton iost three bales; Ab
Becton, coloted, lost three bales
of ginned and one bale of seed
octton; Robt. Smith, colored lost
one bale: Mr. Hesry Bruton lost
two bales. Two or three others
lost a few hundred pounds of seed
cotton.

The total loss is $1,200 to

Yellow Fever not so Bad Atter All

oTf yellow fever were a more
familiar disease in the United
States our people would pay but
little attention to it,� said Mr.
Charles S. Swisher, of Boston, at

the careful attention of our law tha Shorsham.,

i:oIn Hayana, where it is common
no more attention is paid to it
than the Mexicans giye to small
pox. Thereis hardly any time
that Mexico hasnTt the last named
disease somewhere in its borders.
IT heard a renowned doctor say
that yellow fever, hadnTt killed
one-fifth as many people in this
country as has grippe. The latter
scourge has caused hundreds
whose lives were spared to lose
their vision, and scores of others
maddened by the agony it pro-
duced have committed suicide.

oBut the foyer creates a panic
that makes men act inhumanly
and unreasonably, and paralyzes
the trade of cities and whole
sections of the country. Its
ravages are not to be compared
with the other against which

quarantine, although it 1s said to
he catching. Verily the actions of
mankind are past accounting fer,
and with all the progress of
civilization human nature remains
much the same through the
changing centuries.�T"Washing-

Welcome Record-Breaking.

The statement of business
failures in the United States
during September and during
the third quarter of the current
year, as furnished by Dunn's
Review, giyes a gratifying asaa-
rance of the improvement in
business conditions.

For the quarter the average of

liabilities in reported failures is
the lowest known in twenty
three years. The total of failures
is the lowest since 1892. One
single large failure in the
brokerage business brings up the
average and total in this class of
business, but in the classes of
manufacturing and trading the
faitures owere the smallest on
record since these classes were
estabtished. o
-' There will be no dissent from
the cordial welcome with which
this new record will be received.
