AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS
Republicans and People Partyito
•Working together in North Car
olina.
Raleigh, N. C., Sep. 27. —United
Scales District Court Judge Sey
mour last week appointed a number
of supervisors of election for this
State. Most of them are said to be
People partyitea and Republicans,
few Democrats having been appoin
t'd. Tt is a noteworthy fact that
th* people’s party were the most ur
gent in their deina ds for the ap
Dointmeirt of these and i
also a remarkable fact that nearly
all fhe Weaverites are joining the
Republieans in a demand for the
passage of a federal elections law,
i ore fa miliary known as a lorce
bill,
It is becoming more and more ap
parent that the Republican and Peo
ply part} ites are working together
to defeat Cleveland electors in this
State.
Although the Harrison electors
at-large were nominated in April
•iud the Cleveland in May
there has never been a meeting be
tween them. The democratic
speakers devoted nearly all their
time to People’s party, and have
very little to say about the republi
cans. The joint discussion now ii
prog res between R, B Glenn Cleve
land's elector at-large, and Mrion
Bueler. Weaver elector-at-large, and
also pres ident of the Norfh Carolina
Farmer Alliance, is an exceeedingL
bitter one. and on more than
one occasion personal collision.*

Not only in North Carolina bul
right here in Butts county, where
every one knows that elections are
held perfectly fair some oi the
defeated third partyitea are in fa
vor of the force bill. Great Heav
-ns! What is our people coming
to.
Tlie United States has given to Europe
quite as much as Europe has given to
us in the way of new and desirable
dishes and food staples. Through us
they learned over there what it was to
eat succotash and southern combread
as well as broiled beefsteak. Until
within a very few years the Americarf
traveled from one end of that continent
to the other without once encountering
a beefsteak such as we know it in the
United States. Likewise we have be
stowed on the nations there pumpkin
pie, squash pie and our kind of fruit
pies, which are as much ahead of thfir
fruit pies as a golden pippin is ahead of
a wild crab apple. Now we heap om
blessings upon them by sending to them
the tomato, canned and fresh, which
they cannot get enough of. They in
deed knew about the tomato, but only
as an ornamental growth. We caught
it and civilized it and made a food del
icacy of it. Italy is at present the only
country of Europe where tomatoes and
green corn are made much of, and the
climate of Italy more resembles ours
than that of any other part of Europe.
MONTHLY TALK
WITH THE EAfIIEKS.
BY R. T. NEFKTLT.
COMMISSIONER OF AG IF culture.
The results of our labor rot the pres
ent season will soon be known, and
whether satisfactory or the jeverse, can
not now be changed, llcv" yer this may
be, a careful review of th: year’s work,
noting and studying the causes, which
have led to either success- or failure,
will gradually aid us in ouy preparations
for another season. B;- applying the
knowledge gained from onr experience
of the past year, we maj- be able to im
prove upon our successes, and even
glean benefit from our mistakes.
THE FARMER, AS WELL AS v THERS, MUST
STUDY TO SUCt
In these busy, rushing bays of rapid
transit, electric cars, telegraphs and tel
ephones, the farmer who would succeed
must avail himself of every opportu
nity, watch the markets, watch every
chance, and be willing to accept every
reliable guide which points him to better
methods. Many thinking farmers now
realize tbat
MILLIONS HAVE BEEN LOST TO THE SOUTH
by ignorance and carelessness, and many
are applying themselves heart, head and
hand to the task of redeeming of land
from the curse and the consequences of
the one-crop system—that gigantic mis
take which has well nigh ruined us.
They realize, too, that this is a progres
sive age, and that the unthinking, sloth
ful farmer will necessarily be left hope
lessly in the background. Relegating the
political questions of the hour to the
rear, let us calmly survey
AGRICULTURAL SURR-vNDINOS.
How many advantages have? of the
situation, soil anck climate, and how
lightly, even indifferently, we have
valued them! That we have fol
lowed mistaken agricultural methods,
these scarred and worn hill
sides bear mute witness. That we
are confronted by the gravest agricul
tural problems, no thinking man will
deny.
Producing as we do 75 'per cent, of the
world's supply of cotton, and thus hold
ing in our grasp the key to the solution
of our difficulties, why is it that
WE ARE NOT ENJOYING THE PROSPERITY
to which this monopoly entitles us?
Why is it that this immense crop, which
should make us rich, has brought only
poverty alike to the producer and to the
soil. So much has been said, and I have
already written so repeatedly on this
subject that I almost hesitate to address
you again on a question, which has been
so exhaustively treated. But when I
■'ook around over my own state,and con
template the condition of our farmers
and their lands, and realize chat the same
distinctive policy which has brought but
disappointment and poverty, may be
continued, I cannot remain silent, and I
feel chat i cannot repefTT'too often or
urge with too much emphasis that until
we can come down to a
LEGITIMATE SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURE,
a self-supporting system, .we cannot
expect anything more substantial in the
future than we have have gained in the
past. We are straining every nerve and
exhausting every resource to" produce a
crop of cotton, one-third
THE GROSS VALUE
of which goes to the north and west
for breadstuffs alone. None of this is
for meat, for which we also spend mill
ions of dollars. Suppose one-third of the
land devoted to the production of cotton
the past season had been put in food
crops, and crops on which to fatten hogs,
we would now have an abundance of
everything to supply our home demand,
and instead of a crop of 9,000,000 bales at
Qi cents, we would have had a crop of
6,000,000, worth anywhere from 10 to 15
cents. That lam Tight in this, is proven
by the recent jump in the price of cotton
following immediately upon the unfavor
able reports from the cotton fields which
point with certainty to a short crop.
The following figures also give the
same conclusion:
No. Acres
Planted. Bales. Value.
1866-67 6,000,000 2,233,000 $297,810,000
1870-71 8.500,000 4,347,000 330,000,000
1880-81 16,000,000 6,600,000 356,000,000
1890- 20,000,000 - 8.500,000 429,000,000
1891- 23,000,000 9,000,000 333,000,000
I have submitted these figures for
your careful consideration. They show
that we have added immensely to our
cotton acreage, which means also addi
tional guano, meat and supply bills.
They also show that while we have
more than doubled our cotton crop in
twenty years, the price has been re
duced more than 100 per cent. Turn
which way we will there is no escape
from the stern realities of these facts.
Let every man who reads this article
ponder well over this question. Around
our firesides let us discuss these grave
problems, which are to affect the happi
ness, prosperity and future usefulness of
coming generations, Don't get disgust
ed and say you have heard this advice
until you are tired of it. The hope of
the state, the stability of our home in
stitutions, turn at last upon whether we
make our farms self-sustaining and at
the same time improve our lands, At a
meeting of farmers last winter, the fol
lowing language was used:
•‘Some are fighting the wolf from the
door, while the wife and little ones are
poorly clad, and the latter growing up
without education. Nearly all the mules
and horses are mortgaged, and a spirit
of unrest pervades our entire agricul
tural community. This lamentable con
dition confronts the town as well as the
country. If the latter dies from poverty,
a speedy dissolution of the former is
inevitable.
•‘We are to solve a condition, not a
theory. Reduced to its last analysis, it
can be summed up in this sentence;
‘Waste of time, money and energy in
the over-production of cotton and the
under production of all the necessaries
of life.”’
Teach this doctrine diligently to your
children. Talk of it when you sit in
your house and when you walk by the
way, when you lie down and you rise
up—bind it for a sign upon your
hand, and write it upon ‘ the
posts of your house, and on
your gates and carry out its principles
in your farm management.
But, you say, we axe in debt. Tell us
how to pay out and save something. We
answer not by the planting of large crops
of cotton, but by reducing the acreage,
increasing the yield per acre, and at the
same time planting an abundance of
food crops. Make terms with your cred
itor, give him everything you *can possi
bly spare, get him then to exercise a
generous forbearance his prosperity
and yours are bound together by undis
soluble ties. Having aone this, with
God’s help in dispensing the early and
the later rains, and the exercise of brain
and energy, we can confidently look
forward to* a brighter future.
Go where you will, and show me the
man who gives his farm his individual
attention, who makes the raising of food
supplies his first consideration, calcu
lates carefully the cost of his different
crops, considers the needs of his land as
well as the plant food which his soil and
cultivated crops require, cultivates intel
ligently and markets with care, and I
will show you a contented individual, a
Plan thoroughly in love with his gov
ernment, his section, his neighborhood.
Is not this end worth striving for?
LET US AT ONCE MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO SOW FULL SMALL GRAIN CROPS.
This will not only save our lands from
washing during the winter, but will
leave it in so much better condition to
receive and produce other crops. The
very fact of broadcasting the fertilizer
introduces the true system of manuring.
We will never permanently improve our
lands while we continue to fertilize in
the drill and depend on one crop to meet
all our wants.
DON'T PUT OFF SOWING THE GRAIN.
Late sowing and hurried preparation
are among the chief drawbacks to our
success.
RAISING HOGS
lias become so uncommon that where a
faiiner’succeed in making enough meat
for home use he is remarkably “lucky.”
I have called your attention to the im-
portance of this question in previous
talks. If one-third of our gross cotton
crop, that is over $100,000,000, goes for
breadstuffs alone, what must be the
amount sent to the West for meat?
TO RAISE HOGS SUCCESSFULLY.
We must give them the same regular
attention and feed that we give to our
horses; give them protection in bad
weather, keep them in uniform condi
tion, not first fat and then poor, keep
them free from vermin by the use of
kerosene as shown in this report. Give
each hog every week a teaspoonful of
beaten copperas, let them have access to
pure water, and my word for it, you will
have. sweet meat "and lard, and plenty
of it. R. T. Nesbitt,
Commissioner.
Geueral Remarks.
The present report being predicted
largely on the yield from gathered or
partly gathered acreage looses much of
the uncertainty that attends estimates
based alone upon conditions existing
earlier in the season. The previous re
ports by correspondents for this year are
substantiated by the maturing "crops in
nearly every instance. The decline in
indication of the yield of some crops is
due to the fact that the injuries resulting
from unfavorable seasons were of such
a character that the extent of the damage
could hardb be properly estimated until
later in the season.
COTTON:
In this, our staple crop, the one upon
which we depend to supply our wants
outside of what we are aide to raise on
the farm, is shown the most marked de
cline. Excessive wet weather, followed
by drouth, and this drouth again fol
lowed by excessive wet weather, has
been the prevailing character of the
season. Such weather condition resulted
in shedding and casting of fruit, and in
rust and rot. The full extent of tho
damage done was difficult of determina
tion during the early month, as much of
the crop presents a fine appearance as to
weed, but w’th maturing shows but little
fruit, with small and lightly filled bolls.
From many of the counties, especially
those located in Southwest Georgia,
comes the report that the yield in those
counties of that section will be the
poorest ever known. When we consider
the fact that this is a great cotton pro
ducing portion of our state, the outlook
for a large yield is anything but flattering.
And when we note the unsatisfactory
conditions and discouraging reports from
all over the state, with the great reduc
tion in acreage and in the use of com
mercial fertilizers, we can safely predict
that during the past decade Georgia has
not produced so small a crop as that of
this year will be.
If the decrease yield promised was the
result alone of a reduction in the acreage
we would have much cause for congratu
lation, and as it is, the gratifying reduc
tion that was made will do much to
wards lessening the total yield.
The recent report from the New Or
leans cotton exchange shows that the re
ceipts so far this year are smaller than
those of any year since 1888. This indi
cates that the reports on acreage sent
out by the heads of the agricultural de
pax-tments of the various cotton states
are correct, also that the crop has suf
fered from unfavorable seasons in all the
states. The decrease in promised yield
is making itself felt on the market not
withstanding the enormous surplus car
ried over from last year, and under this
influence the price has already advanced
over three-fourths of a cent from the
low price of the summer months. That
supply and demand govern our great
product, like all other products, is em
phasized by this advance, and it brings
pointedly before the farmers that if they
want a remunerative price for their cot
ton, the yield must De reduced by cut
ting down the acreage, so that a small
crop will be the result of favorable and
unfavorable seasons. Speculation un
doubtedly influences the daily fluctua
tions of the market, and may
at times, depress it or give
it an unnatural impetus, but compared
by decades the story is one of increased
production and decreased price. In the
monthly talk of the Commissioner will
be found a tabulated statement of the
number of bales produced and the value
of the crops for several years which gives
a comprehensive view of the whole mat
ter. The world, it would seem, has about
$400,000,000 to pay for its cotton clothing,
this sum the otton growers will receive
whether the crop be a large or a small
one. It is to be hoped that the present
upward tendency of the market will con
tinue until such figures are reached that
cotton may be made at a profit. While
the crop is backward, yet nearly all of it
will be ready for market at an early
date, for while the first bolls that
mature are ten days to two weeks late, yet
as there is but little August fruit upon
the plants nearly all the bolls will soon
be operrand ready for picking. This
may operate against the farmer by caus
ing a too rapid marketing and
a temporary decline in price. But hold
ing as we do the solution of the situa
tion within our grasp, we should not
feel too much discouraged if we cannot
right the results of two years overpro
duction by the discretion of one year.
Diversified crops, renovated lands, and
a yield of our money crop within the
demands of the world’s consumption,
