Smith in his speech at Prosperity ] Saturday advised the farmers to duce their acreage in cotton. \Y the price of. cotton jroinjf (Town j the mills in sonic places closing do for two months or indefinitely, seems to us that the advice of ; 8mit.li is timely. .Heller ?row one hale of cotton i "c'( the price of two, than have expense of "rowing two hales ; .nettiny no more for it than you eo isct for onVf, I here seems to be considerable rest t'iix I unsteadiness in Inisin circles. We ;i re live In confers I! We do mil Know why this eondit exists. Ii is n lil lie anomalous II '" I lie midst o|" an era of nnpre dented prosperity Ihroutihoul the tire country there should he a pa which lias caused business depress .generally, and yet we are told ll ?'ie banks in New Vork have miiiouey I nan they have had in mil years and the banks in our o Slate have as much money as (I had al the same time last year, I they aro holding it. Iheie seems to be, for some can a lack of confidence and rather Hi lisk loMiiy what they have, men w have money are not investing Money lucked up in the vaults of ( banks can do no i>ood in the busin* world. \\ (i understand some, at Ion of this lack <d' confidence is r?n eount of the uncertainly of what I islalion congress may enacl affect "ur monetary system. Kviden there is soniethiiiy wruiiif and there is it does seem that it would to the interest of (he country yvuei l.v for congress to pass such leu is ''on as woul,r apply the reme<Iy, I the thiii"- for the fanfors, at least our section of I lie country to do, is reduce the production of cotton a put their land in food supplies. ( T'>e col ton crop this year is sin Tilde should be renter demand eotton ?oods. l| would seem, h? e\cr, that, the law of supply of maud has nothing whatever to with the situation, but certainly if .farmer would put himself in posit by raisin"- on the farm all that needs on the farm he could then h his cotton indefinitely without a body's assistance. I he State bankers association Columbia last week passed reso tions dedai-inu- the inter-dependei n1'fie fanners and the bankers. I *md that the sense of the resolut is that the bankers will protect j ns.si>( |h(, |armors in mainlaiuint: .irood price lor their cotton. Th should lie the kindliest of feelings l ween the bankers and all olhor7.it prises and the farmer and not o but there should bo (he closest cooperation. I lie road movement continues irrow iu North Carolina. Mccklenhi eoiinty has now close to Jtltl miles macadam ami <jrailed roads. (Jas county adjoining' has issued .fMOO.t bonds and is having roads built contract. Lincoln countv will v on .fJtMUH) bonds to build' roads. Is Xortli Carolina ?oiii?r ahead of t State in the mat tor of build'hiti" m roads7- -(ireenvillo News. I here can be no doubt that Xo Carolina is .?*cttin? ahead of t state in the matter of buildinir roads. Especially is this tino i counties mentioned by our cont< porarv. I lie roads in Mockleuherti- eon; are the tinest we have ever seen i lliev tio at t/K> matter of building- tli in a business like way. An entrin is employed regularly, who lays he road and' tirades it jus| as if were hnihlinjr a railroad, lie not o cuts down the hi'ls but fills in the low places and in many ro; v?n "ill find embankments u) which the road is built after manner ol the embankments railroads. It is a pleasure to drive over tli and we are satisfied if our pen could see how these are, that tli would bo no difficulty in voting a to build tlvem. It is something t takes time, but when a road is b like those of Moeklenbert* countv ' have one that lasts for many yo with "very little* work in repairing, soon, however, as our people do: mine to tax themselves for the )' pose of road-buihlinti- they should at it in a symtematie and scienl way and if the present location the road is not to the best advant \a ' # [ffi it should he changed so as to avoid as far as possible steep grades. We believe that our people are gelting more aroused on this subject than ;w" they have ever been and wc hope that they will make up their winds to =- spend some money in this direction. ( We have been of the opinion that 1 ___ the trouble with our people has been . that they can not be convinced that . 't a hix is voted that it will be judi, ' ciously and wisely expended. 11', how. as ever, ii is decided to vote a tax we 1 r.,cj believe that the proper liiaplrinry can s 1 1 be prepared ior its wise and effective i nn" expenditure. x nvn it Mr. Death of Capt.
