Write plainlygnd only on one side of the paper.$3.002510beameantTuEspAY, OCTOBER 12, 1897.; ": What is known as the Bureaureport, showing monthly an esti-mate of the cotton crep, wasgiven to the public on Monday.This report placed the estimateat 70 per cent. of an average crop,a decline of 10 per cent since theSeptember report was made amonth ago. Notwithstanding thefalling off in the estimate, and theprospect of a much shorter cropthan was expecte] early in theseason, this Bureau report wasfollowed by a decline in the priceof spot cotton. This looks likethere is some other influence thatbears upon the price of cottonbeside the supply. We believethe speculators are largely re-sponsible for the low price thatprevails. It may not be the bestcourse to advise farmers to holdtheir cotton, but it does not seempossible that it can remain as lowas at present.+) Seo A Eerev ms mera oSA WRONG TO BUSINESS MEN.The theory of the law is that itisbased upon common sense, but agreat North Carolina lawyer hasbeen heard to say that this doesnot apply to statute law. If it,did the theory and the facts wouldfail to square. Wehavein mindat this time a statute which worksa great wrong to the merchantsof Charlotte, and not of Charlottealone, but of every other town inthe State which sets itself up as atrading centre. A Charlotte mer-chant cannot pack a trunk withgocdsand send a salesman withit to Salisbury or Raleigh or anyother North Carolina town andhave him display the goods andoffer them for sale; nor can amerchant of Salisbury or Raleigh- pack such a trunk and send a3 representative with itto Charlotte| or any other North Carolina town�"� to display its contents and offerthem for sale; but such a sales-map with such a trunk may comeinto any of these towns fromTennessee, South Carolina orVirginia and offer his goode forsale, without the payment of anytax, against the local merchantwho stays here all the time andpays tax upon poll, property andpurchases. The inter-State com-merce laws protect him, and hecan go where ho pleases, as thewind, which bloweth where it_ Tisteth, but the home merchant is_. eonfined, as by a Chinese wallto his owntown. The injustice igpalpable, and by means of theoperation of this law North Caro-_ Hina is drained of a creat deal of- Money. Salesmen come into the Btate from abroad, sell goods at wetail, take measures and orders,nd go away without leaving apliar in tax, while adealer in aabout getting legislation on thesubject, bus the remedy of theévil is in the hands of our ownpeople. Let them stop buyinggoods and giving orders to stroll-ing salesmen from other States.Let them deal with their ownmerchants and keep their moneyathome. Ifthe Salisbury womancannt get what she wants in Sal-isbury, let her come or send toCharlotte for it, and vice versa,and if neither can get in eithermarket the ¢ oods wanted, let. herat least, if she is going to . buy itabroad, give the order for itthrough her home merchant."Charlotte Observer.Are American Women UnhealthySurely Dr. Cyrus Edson mustbe taking too-pessimistic a viewof the physical condition ofAmerican women when he de-clares that oa perfectly healthywoman 18 quite a rarity.�oWheneTer we take our walksabroad� anywhere within theboundaries of Greater New York,wa see women on foot, on horse-back and on wheel whose shapelyfigures, elastic muvements andfresh complexions seem to war-rant the belief that they are ointhe pink of condition.� ©Recent athletic records showthat our young men are surpass-ing their predecessors in nearlyevery line of muscular perform-ance. Ithas been demonstrated,moreover, that the ayerage A mer-ican man has become taller by atleast one inch within the last twogenerations, and that, comparedwith his Eurcpean contempo-raries, he has been steadily grow-ing larger cf limb, weightier inthe szale and, most significant ofall, longer lived.This being the superior exhibitof the American man, can it betrue, as Dr. Edson tells us in theNorth American Reyiew, that theAmerican woman is_ rarelyhealthy ?The American man is borr ofthe American woman, andstrength is not inherited fromweakness nor supericr physiquefrom unhealthy mothers. YetDr. Edson says be lately inquiredcarefully into the cases of 239average women of his acquaint-ance, and found only fourteen ofthem to be in perfect health.Only one healthy Americanwoman in seventeen is a dis-"heartening ratio. Dr. HdsonTs239 women were not, weT thinkfairly representative of the glo-rious womanhood of America."New York World.Is the Cotton Yield Exaggerated ?The manager of a very greatcottonseed oil plant informs theWorld that this yearTs cottoncrop will fall about 2,000,000 balesshort or the current estimates.He gets his iniormation fromhis cottonseed buyers, who gointo every part of the cottoncountry, and he is confident thathis figures are accurate.If heis right there is an over-estimate of the crop. whichthreatens serious detriment to theplanters. For the price of cottonis determined by the crop esti-mate, and if this is gieatly toohigh the price will remain cor-respondingly too low until theerror becomes apparent. By thattime the cotton will have passedout of the hands of its growersand any increase in price willinure tothe benefit ot the spec-ulators only."New York World.Believes He is a Goose.TTA gentleman who hasfor quiteforth Caaolina town, ten, milesig denied the right to doa Pave a, 5 Fa number of years been in chargeof the insane was asked what wasever. ae :jup under any cry, specious or|ization."Raleigh News and Ob-the very freakiest thing he hadatient to. do.
