Thousands of good citizens in Kansas and Colorado view with alarm the results of populist rule in those states, and unless there is a speedy change for the better a wholesale exodus may bi ex- the populists gained control of Kansas and Colorado they started a legislative crusade against corporations capital- The railroads were crippled and their owners were left with hardly any protection for their property rights. The great lending companies whose loans had largely built up the west were made to feel the in- conveniences of hostile and it was even threatened that stay laws would be passed to prevent the collection of debts. Naturally, this policy caused of capital and enterprise to lose confidence in tho populist states- They withdrew their money, and the financial cir- of the world Kansas and Colorado were practically black- listed. Real estate rap- idly and there were no buyers. Well-to-do people moved away, and commerce and industry were half paralyzed. This was the condition of fairs in a short time after the populists got into power, and matters have been growing worse ever since. The discontent of the people has provoked an of lawlessness, and the authorities have done very little to promote the interests of peace and order. Such an object son could not be lightly passed over by the people of other states, and it is a significant fact that since populism has reached its climax in Kansas and Colorado it has declined everywhere else. In a dozen states thousands of good men, who joined the lists two years ago, have left them returned to their old party organizations. They have found it impossible to endorse the wild experiments of the populists in the two status which they have well nigh ruined, and they have come to the conclusion that it is better to patiently bear the evils of the present than, to confront something worse. the country at large populism is dead. Its success in Kansas and Colorado killed it. and no very earnest effort will be made anywhere to revive the Con- One important work for the month is the early gathering of the cotton, which should engage our careful attention. That the cotton should pick as fast as it opens, no farmer will dispute- Every experienced farmer knows that there are reasons for this, first opening near the ground, if left for any length of time, is much more liable to injury from rain and dirt than the bolls high- up. Again, the first picking, weighs heavier. Another is that it is much easier to get a clean sample leaves are green than have become is that when is picked in smaller much easier to manage than if it is left to accumulate in the field, the gathering is less hurriedly and carelessly done, and the en tire is not at once to the nearest gin with- out the intermediate process of and drying, so to the turning out of a good sample. This is one point to carefully watched. The price of our cotton, low at best, is ally reduced by any or cutting of the sample. The ear- cotton is damp and green, and unless carefully dried, the process of ginning leaves much of the lint on the seed, and that turned out is of very poor quality. There are many plans of drying which are suggested by the ingenuity and surroundings of each farmer. The point to be aimed at is to get our cotton to market in the best condition The Classification is be- coming much more strict each year, and the careless man loses much, which his more careful brother is able to glean from at to these apparently small and unimportant loss to the farmer is from the condition in which our us- reaches the general market. As little as most farmers realize it, this has rise to the heavy tare, which is a dead loss, and which falls not on the buyer, on the FOR THE UNIVERSITY AT CHAPEL HILL. 1893, Regular 1894, 1893, Special 1894, Special Total AND INDUS TRIAL SCHOOL- 1893, Regular 1894, Regular 1893, Special 1894, Special 1893, Total From Peabody Fund 1894 THE A- ft V. 1893, Regular Regular the COLLEGE. 10.000 Total THE A.
