HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS Planter .Must 1 >.* Ooo<i Uu-luni6 Man, Improve*! Condition or the Southern Fawner—Cort on 31111 liuVuatry. It is a pleasant feature of this, out second aunual gathering, that we meet in this historic city, named in honor o( Raleigh, the gallant gentleman whose attorn lit* at ooionizatiou on Wokokon and Uounoke islands blazed the way for the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown. His name, and those ol Cavendish, Greenville aud Drake, are closely interwoven with the early his tory of North Carolina, whose shores were made romantic by the birth ol Virginia Dare, first child of English pa rentage born on freedom’s soil. At Alla mance sous of the old North State 1 soured out the first blood that was slie.l in resistauoe to unjust taxation, and lrom Mecklenburg county went forth that ringing defiance to tyranny—ths forerunner of the grand declaration which pnx-laimod the birth of (lie great republic. On every page of American history the neine of North Oarolltm shines witli uiidimuod luster, and the fame of her hardy sous wifi never be forgotten so long as men remember King’s Mountain, York! own, Qettys burg and Appomattox. The spirit of enterprise, too, is abroad in the old North State, iiwl 4u walks proudly iu the van of son thorn industrial progress, which, iu the last few years, has mads such rapid stChW'S Iu such an illustri ous state, and under sueh favorul.iv aus pices, we have Come with toy to share the hospitality of your generous Mint and lovely daughters. Our last, annual .meeting v.-a* held iii New Orleans, the greatest, cotton port and the fourth grain market iu the world —the commercial metro)Kills of fair lajii island, who leads her southern sisters in the production of sugar cane and rice. At that meeting we spoke of the c.mrit, tiou of bankruptcy and demoralization into which the farmers of the south have been aimlessly drifting for years, iiud I urged you, the commissioners of the cot ton growing states, to call upon your peopm to clmnnaaiaaa methods of farm ing. We. stated also that the work of reformation had begun, ami that the •people of the oottou states were in better condition than in former years; that they bad livedmore on home supplies; had been to less expense iu making their crops, ami had received much better prices for their products, bad reduced their debts and wots more hopeful for the future. It was stated, moreover, that the cron of 1 899 and 1890 was going to cost more to market it Ilian did the crop of IBPB-IMI9, and it was urged ttiat we sound a note of warning by tolling onr formers to make small bills; buy for cash, it possible; plant largely of food crops, and reduce the acreage in cotton I eve* below that of lds( y-ar. We also said that, if we would again curtail the use of fertilizers and the acreage iu cot ton, and produce only 8,000,0-)0 bales next, season, we might, expect not loss than 9 cents a pound for our cotton. With pleasure was noted the great re vival of manufacturing interests iu the south. r Xbe necessity was urged of j teachlngOur children in the Schools the j elrmeatury principle- of agriculture— i facts that have been ascertained, by proc- i ticoi tests at efficiently wmducted ex- ! peritnental stations. The improved condition of southern farmers, reported at our last meeting, continues with some additional better ment. This ia especially true of the farmers of Georgia, who have harvested tu ore wheat this year tlniu in any year since IRC3; more, it is claimed, than in any other three year* since the civil war. More attention, too, has lx j cn paid to raising supplies' of meat, and many a smokehouse, filled with bam, bacon and sausage from hogs fed and slaughtered at home proclaims the southern farmer’s growing independence of the packing houses of the west. The peach orchards of < leorgia have- this year been a very helpful factor in that state. Although Jhe crop, as a whole, did not prove as remunerative as early indications prom ised, yet the money which it put. Into circulation was of great benefit during the dull season. It paid many thou sands of dollars to lnlsirors employed in gathering, packing, canning and ship ping the fruit. The total number of carloads shipped this season from Geor gia will not be far short of 2,500. One thing that makes the outlook bet ter still i* the certainly of another short aotton crop, which promise, even better profit* rfnrii.g the coming season. There seem-, to oe good reason for the hope that 'he .’I- fon craze of I)9R will u< : aga *e::v the urmers of th, 50..:! • iME BRUNSWICK TIMKS-CALL, K i9iO? who, from sod experience, should know that the thing of greatest Importance is to raise, first of all. food supplies, and eultivate their oottou within a profitable limit. Our export and import trade for the year dosing June SO, 1000, was the largest ever known. This is due mainly to the increase in exports of manu factured goods for the domestic pro ducts, breadstuffs, provisions, cotton and mineral oils exported, the value of which was $ 70S.8<i 1,708, while above hat of the previous 12 months, is below that of 1997 and IKOS, when our export of domestic products amounted to $807,- 818,581. Iu that year wo oxjxrted the prodigious total of $384,703,000 of bread stuffs, a figure which we have not react ltd siuce. Id the matter of oottou exports, however, there has been a de cided improvemeht; and it contains a valuable hint to the south, for during the past 12 mouths wa received $241,- (>00,105 for our cotton, or $152,008,1121 moio than for the previous year, al though we shipped over 2,000,000 bales less The farmers got metro for a short crop than they would havu received for n large oue, ami it is needless to point out that the cost of harvesting, market - ing and shipping the crop was materially reduced. This is ou the right line. Og people should always So manage as to have the balance ot trade in our favor. The wonderful progress mode bv the south in cotton manufacturing still conv tinues. According fo figures collected by the Boston Textile YVorld.Jbn nortb had in 1800 exactly 12,721,341 spindles, while the south had 1,828,088. Now the north lias 15,842,5.14 spindles, while toe south has 3,815,420. The in crease in fb© south for tho lost decade Is,.therefore, 217 per cent, and for the north 10,8 per ©out. South Carolina comes thlrd in tfi# Union, aftor Massa chusetts and Rhode Island, withAlJIU, 007 spindles; North Carolina Is fourth, with 1,420,540 spindles; Now Hampshire fifth, with 1,848,083, and Georgia sixth, with 1.818,.104. -o. If Tho Textile World hi correct m .its figures, thou Soufli Carolina stands first among the southern states in tho num ber of spindles; North OOrullua, which wo know stands seooud in the number of splodlos; while Georgia is the third oottou manu facturing st.atd of the aonth, unles the product of her mills exceed* in value thfit .# either of her Carolina sisters, which was the case in 1880. But what should especially pleaee every moznber i< f this ''ouvoutnon i| the foot that tha : whole south i marching on fo the goal of Industrial indepeudenoe. For the sea sou of 1899 and 1600 tho south, for the first time in Its history, fbcedthe price of cotton.-HmHogrowtii of the ooftfoa mill industry iu the south continues at its present rapid rare, with the qonseqaent •increased osiumj>tion by the eouthern mills, we rnay ooufideotly ox pact that the south will henceforth he able to fix the price of hor own great staple. There i*. as yet, no sign hfi-Aufaocfc in this do velopmoot, which, even in the rime of business depression, wa*4*arv<;llom. Of oourse I am most fasnillar with my own state. There the growth of the oottou industry siuce thafhejg^nieg of the pies cut year is al! precedent. Twenty or tnoro new mills are now In pr.rtiess of eoaatrnot.fon. Olio of them is the greftt ooiton (in-Lory at Gainesville, Ga., which, when fully equipped, will represent an ot $1,000,000.

For their lw>g and heron■ ■ffn’jrrgTe of 85 years, nfttwfor the difficulties which they have overcome they deserve all praise. Bttfc the snooess of Bonn up-to date southern farmers, where, tint best methods iiave been employed, has beat) hardly less {phenomenal. Tills is a day of progress on all lines. The farmer connot afford to be behind the manu facture . Old methods must give way to better and newer .ones. When gome enterprising farmer proves that soil of a certain kind can be made to produce 40, 00 and over (10 bushels of wheat to tho acre, and with a largely increased profit, after deducting the necessary expense of bringing his land up to such a state of productiveness, no other farmer with as good soil shauid be satisfied to pursue old methods, or Tie content with a yield or from 10 to 15 bushels to the acre Let us hope for active, vigorous, persist ent competition on this line among all the farmers of the south. A friendly rivalry will do much to increase our ag ricultural products, and build up tho wealth of our section. In nearly all sections of the Cotton States the greater proportion of the beef and butter con sumed in our towns coma* from the north and west. So long as this is the case, there will lie an urgent call for improvement. In view of the fact that the per capita pronuenon or tnc rar mers or t - ne south 1* only $177, while i„ .V,. w E nglalld it is *317. and m the west $5lO, we venture the suggestion that there must be some thing in our system which needs im provement. Might oot some changes in our fanning methods bring about the raising of more grain and grasses, more vegetables and fruit, more and better beef cattle, more milk, butter and cheese, more pigs and sheep, more ready money in the pockets of our farmers, more prosperity to tho agricultural classes; hence more plenty, contentment and happiness among all classes of our population? Active, continuous, intellgeut super vision of all the lalmr on the farm is necessary to success. Every farmer should keep nn account with his land, charging it up with ail t hat it costs him, and giving it credit for all that it pays. The same business methods which make the successful merchant nr mamifuotU,- rer, will make the successful farmer. No bank stock or railroad shares, city, state or government Ikjii-14, will pay such heavy interest on the investment as a well managed farm. Osie of tho great needs of tho day is tho formation ill every county of a formers’ instftuto or club, iu which may bo discussed tho rbest methods of agriculture, tho latest, ♦mil: best machinery for !abor : savlug, and other tilings of interest and. profit Jo the farmers. Imiußtipul education is : iu* necessary to the farmer as to the me olianje. should form a prdmineut part of the cin ie.ulunts of our public schools; From the kindegarten to the university, the pupil should be taught to know something of nature s ways, nud In special schools the farmer should prepare for tits profession, just as t,lie iihysiciau, (lie lawyer, tho preacher or tije mechanic does for his. This is a day.of maehimff.v, tho jiropor of wfiieh demands cdueation. Nowhore does uiuMfluorv pay better than oo Ihe Inriff, provided il W* wisely tiouglit and judiciously managed. There is a much more general Osn of form timchiuuiy iii the west than in the smith This ought not so to be. A farmer can no more afford to lie behind the age than ran a man engaged in any other business. In the physical as in the spiritual world growth is life, stag nation is deutii. Tim old methods will no longer do. If southern farmers know not the methods by which their breth ren of the north ami west grow prosiiev ous and rich, theu must they learn. If capitalists from the outside should come into any large section of the south and boy up our lauds and rent, them to our people, those sections would be in tho oondition of Ireland. To yon, Southern (JoinmissionenGif Agriculture, 1 appeal.

Let us Impress upon them, also, tho important truth that variety' of products means luoroase of wealth. Iu the great cotton belt, es pecially, do they neod to tie warned against putting all I heir trust in ooa crop and neglecting others.

Then, with dairies to supply the ! richest milk, and creameries to turn it i into huttfcr and cheese, we of the south j shall have tho greatest farming country j in the world. Progress must be the watobword of the farmers of the south, and progress consists in finding out'the best metMw and adopting them. Let the diligently give attention, and wbat he has learned lor himself let him teach ai name, ana luen send' them to school, whore that education can lie continued and enlarged. No other profession briugs man into such close communiou with nature, and through nature man can best look up to nature’s God and hold communion with the source of all light and life. General Phil Cook, one of the most gallant of the heroic meu who, iu the times that tried men’s souls, so nobly illustrated Georgia on the sacred soil of the Old Dominion—a man whohad been farpor, lawyer, soldier, representative in.,’congress and secretary of state of Georgia—when asked what line of busi ness required the greatest exercise of intelligence, unhesitatingly replied: “That of the farmer.” Cicero, the great Roman orator, senator and far mer, considered agriculture the noblest occupation of man. Indeed, the first bus iness to which the Creator Himself ap pointed man, was forming: “And the K.Lgrd (Jpd took the man and put him Into the garden of Eden to dregs and to keep HP A high calUug is ours, farmers of the south Our laud, the fairest that e’er the suu sbouo upon, with beautiful di versity of mountain and valley, hill and dale, watered by noble streams, y(ltk uplands ooolod by mountain zephyrs, and coastal plains, tempered by breezes from the Atlantic und the gulf.
