WHICH ARD, Editor and Proprietor. TRUTH IN PREFERENCE TO FICTION. TERMS Per Year, in Advance. ECONOMY. Times. It has been well said that, is The Miring of the little things amounts to saving the great tilings. The young man who begins life by spending his nickels b they are of little value, will never attain to wealth, or to eminence in any walk of life. At this lime, when crops are light, and prices low, economy becomes an absolute necessity. Every penny must tell in the family expense account. If our people will reasonable economy, until another crop can be raised, will find the clouds lifted, and prosperity will shine in upon us once more. But there are some species of economy, which are an abomination in the sight of man and God The man who begins his economy, by withholding from the Giver of all good, the mite which has been giving to ad- his cause, will have the frown of a just and will the contempt of every sensible man- There is another species of economy equally reprehensible. To begin by starving the immortal minds of the rising generation, is a piece of folly, of which no man in his senses should be guilty. The children are soon to be the men and women of the land. Shall we let them reach the prime of their manhood and womanhood badly equipped for the life battle which all will have to fight Shall we turn them loose into the world no better prepared for its conflicts, than ourselves are Shall we not rather have their minds stored with a wealth of knowledge that they may be ready to conquer in the battles before them We must educate our children, if we would have them successful in life. Let no one the flattering unction to his that he is practicing when he takes away from God that which is rightfully his, or withholds from his children the right to prepare for the work be- fore them, by storing their minds with knowledge. For is and we are leaving our children weaker than the children of others, when we do not furnish them with die means of acquiring knowledge, while, they have the opportunity. Away with such economy. Better starve the body than the mind. Dress may be cheaper- food may be coarser, but the immortal mind demands the best dress and purest food. Let each and every man look well to it, that he make no mistake right here- Economize in every legitimate way; but beware of withholding from God, or his Give the children an even chance to prepare for the warfare, which is sure to come. Do not starve the immortal part God and man will both hold you ac- countable for action in this direction.

There is a story of a prince who was presented with a board upon which he could arrange figures to represent his own armies and those of his enemies, and by his move- of those he could control the fortunes of the troops actually engaged in war. When he found out that simply by changing the direction of a piece of pointed steel he could spare or destroy his foes, he began to it He made the overthrow of the armies of his neighbors a matter of daily amusement. The thought that what was fine sport to them was ruinous to others never occurred to his mind. Some- thing like this reckless disregard to consequences characterizes our people the matter of legislation. It is proposed to frame a separate statute for every case as if law- making were a mere past time. Every map who is elected to State or National Legislature thinks he must propose a new law and not a few go to each session charged with a dozen or a score of measures which they propose drafting into bills.

All an that there is some- radically wrong with our agricultural interest. There are various opinions as to the cause, and needed remedies. It is an in- disputable fact that our farmers as a class are getting poorer and poorer every year. This cannot attributed to indolence on their part. They are laboring as as they did when they were in better circumstances than they are now. They are harvesting in bulk as large crops as usual They cannot be accused of very living. There are at least, we believe, too fundamental causes for this depression among this noble class of our citizens. One is the i resent system of farming. The other the unequal chance they have the price of their products. The latter probably results in part at least from the former. However this may be we shall confine our selves for the present to he dis- of the first named cause. It cannot be denied that our system of farming has greatly changed in the past twenty or thirty years, and even a much shorter time than this- The ten- at present is to make you can only make cotton and to- as a money crop you will not be forced to sell it if the price is unsatisfactory. As it is now you must sell it no matter how low the prices, because you must have these thing-s which you did not make and which are necessary to the sustenance of life. Make every you can that you need at home then make what cotton and tobacco yon can and is not very far distant when your former independence will again be yours. You ought and we believe will have the assistance of every pro- for your adversity means the crippling of all. others, your prosperity means advance- of all. Act now, act to act with no purpose to flinch, and you will no longer slaves to trusts and combines of every name and grade but freemen worthy of the grand success that will crown your efforts. This we conceive is the grand work of the Alliance and for them the active and united assistance of every pa- and liberty loving citizen of the South when in or out of the order. Change your system, change at once and the re- WASHINGTON crops, that is crops for sale only. Cotton and tobacco are now the crops by far that are made. The only value they can be to the producer is the money they will bring. We make these almost to the exclusion of all other crops. The farmer may and does plant a small amount of corn, wheat, potatoes and etc., but even this small is neglect- ed in cultivation for his cotton and tobacco. We have almost ceased entirely to raise our own meat, horses, cows. etc. All of these to- with bread must be bought with our cotton and tobacco money- If the price of these was as good as when we made and raised these other things we could not have as much money, for a large part of it must be paid for the necessaries of life. When we take into the fact that the price of cotton and tobacco has continued to decline until they gotten below the cost of production we can readily see that it is only a matter of time when our whole farming population must be bankrupt. We may expect that when any one or two crops is made to the exclusion of others that the pi ice of these will be low. There seems at present a belief even among farmers them- selves that this is one if not the main cause of low prices. An effort is being made just now to reduce the acreage of cotton during the present year at least or per cent- We believe it ought if possible to be a much larger decrease. Some advocate, and with a great deal of reason, that it would be far better for the farmer if he would not plant a seed during the year of 1892. Of course whatever reduction is made ought to be general. Meetings have been held looking to this end and if there is a united action it will be sure of success. The great mass meetings of cotton planters at Memphis advised a reduction per cent. The Commissioners of agriculture of six cotton States endorsed this. The Agricultural Society of North Carolina passed resolutions calling upon our farm- to reduce the acreage per cent. Last week the Alliance of Wake county passed resolutions asking a decrease of per cent and united the co-operation of the merchants to carry this out. This was a wise step, and we believe the farmers of every county ought to have similar meetings, and we trust that in each county the mer- chants and all others interested will lend their influence to the purpose of all of these resolutions. We especially call upon the farmers of Pitt county to call a meeting and take action at once upon this subject which so closely effects their interest. You are satisfied that you can not ford to do as you are doing now. Almost any change would be bet- for you- Try this year at any rate to raise your own meat and bread, and grains, in fact every necessity you can and only make cotton and tobacco as purely a money crop. You can certainly not make your condition any worse. There is every promise that you . will realize just as much money for these crops as yen do now and not have the necessity of spending it for the actual necessities of life. You may not lie able to fix solely the price of your products but you can do that you have no idea can that direction. If One day it looks as if war is about to be declared against Chili- The next day thing seems to be favorable to peace. The facts in the matter seem to be kept from the people. The President proposes to send a message to Congress in reference to the mat- It is hardly probable that Congress will declare war. There are only two cases on record where they have done this. Once during the Presidency of Mr. Madison, and the other during the administration of Mr. Polk. Chili has evidently not been very respectful to the United States but the matter, if it cannot be settled by diplomacy, can be by arbitration and this would be in keeping with the expressed policy of this Country in reference to such matters. We would not add much to our reputation as a great and powerful Nation by taking entire possession of the little republic of Chili, much less forcing her to terms. War is and should be the last resort and there seems at present certainly no necessity for a resort to arms. The trouble probably would have been settled ago if some man than Pat Egan represented this nation in that Country. His bias in favor of and his followers has had much to do with delaying negotiations which would have resulted long before this in a final adjustment of the differences which now seem to threaten the existence of former relations between the two tries. No war is necessary and this only could be an occasion for one. The and Observer has the following to say in reference to the Grimsley trial at Snow Hill last week for the assault upon Rev. J. T.

Mr. concurred in this motion- Differ- conclusions may be drawn from these facts. It may be thought that Mr. considered that enough harm had already come from his original improper action. For that his action was improper goes without saying, since the investigating committee has deemed proper to bring it before Conference, and since it led to the first assault upon him with a shotgun. As Mr. may have been actuated by laudable motives in giving his consent to this easy ending of the public trial ; and since enough harm has already re- from the affair, we not regret that the trial did not de- the full facts, but leaves the still a matter of Smith has called a meeting of the Democratic at Raleigh, Wed- March 2nd, to fix a date and place, and to a call for the State Convention, and for the transaction of other business that may be brought before it.
