The ruling prices for next December are but a little above seven cents. The foreign troubles are apparently far from settlement and the outlook for manufacturers is discouraging. The trade with China which had begun to stimulate greatly the manufacture of cotton goods in this country is much dis turbed and may never again be es tablished on the same basis. This is not all. Foreign nations are becom ing very restless under the workings of our protective taritl laws, and the indications are that they will not sub mit to them indefinitely without an attempt at retaliation. Our nation is aspiring to be a world power and must take its chances among the nations of the earth. If the leading nations of Kurope should levy a heavy duty as pro tection against our tariff laws, on the vast bulk of our exports, there would be a business collapse in this country such as never before known. We believe that this or something like it, will sooner or later be done for we cannot see how great nations like England, Germany and Russia can submit indefinitely to the hard ships imposed upon them by the un fair and iniquitous discriminations made against them by our tariff laws. While such is the outlook for cot ton ; corn, forage, and wheat in this part of our country are all scarce. We seriously question if 500 bushels of home raised corn could bo bought in Cherokee county. Many farmers are already buying western corn and hay on which to make the next crop. We have no reason to suppose that the small grain crop sown is unusu ally large, or that it will be unusually abundant. The result will be that the supply of corn and forage now on hand wili be completely con sumed in making the next crop and with many before the crop is fairly begun. So there will be no surplus to carry over to the next crop and thereby prevent an inroad upon it before it is gathered and housed. Such inroads always count seriously in diminishing the bulk of the next crop. When a farmer has to begin to gather corn from his field on the first of September for feeding his stock, instead of being able to let it stand and mature until November, he is laying up trouble that will be fully realized a year hence. All this leads to the same old moral, plant corn, plant corn, and plant everything else that will make cheap and mutritious food for man and beast; and then plant cotton enough to keep you busy, and no more. This Piedmont region is not a cotton country anyway. A Texas farmer or a farmer in the Mississippi valley can produce two bales with less labor and expense than you must bestow on one. This fact alone should suggest that cotton here should be only an accessory and not the main crop. The Piedmont farmer who in the face of all these facts stakes his fortune this year on cotton is deliberately preparing to commit financial suicide. NOTES ANTI COMMENTS. There is trouble again in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl vania, and the trouble will probably culminate in another big strike. Well, ihe wiuter Is now nearly over and coal will not be needed for heat ing purposes for sometime to come. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Heveral attempts have been made to assassinate the Czar of Russia, and it is said that the great autocrat’s nerves are much disordered under the strain of constant dread and anxiety. There is in addition much turbulence in some parts of his dominions, and it is thought by some that the mighty empire is resting on a smouldering volcano. But Russia is used to such things and there is little danger of a revolution. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Ledger last Tuesday gave full particulars of the terrible tornado which swept over Birmingham, Ala., at 10 o’clock a. m., on Monday. There was not a morning daily in the State that gave the news any earlier. The Ledger is abreast with the dailies two days in the week, or one-third of the time. The dailies cost from six to eight dollars a year and are cheap at that. The Ledger costs only one dollar and fifty cents, and strange to say there are some few persons so inconsiderate as to say it is too high.

Editor Ledger:—Will you allow me a small space in your columns tor a few lines of sympathy in behalf of my dear brother’s and sister’s sad bereavement from the death of their dear little Paul, of which I saw an account of in The Ledger, which was very sad to me. This is to the memory of little William Paul Gaffney, who died March 15th. 1901. Little Paul was a very bright, sweet little boy about thirteen months of age. He was the brightest treasure of bis parents and the sunshine of that happy home. While death has brought darkness and gloom into their happy home the parents derive great comfort from the assurance that their little Paul has gone to a home of peace and happiness where joys and pleasures arc forevermore. If we could only bear a part of the parents’ grief'we would cheerfully relieve them of their trouble; but remember, brother and sister, that little I’aul today is a welcome inhabi tant of that city whose maker and ruler is God, and there is now for you a sweet treasure in heaven which you have the exalted privilege of being the parents of—a bright and happy little saint. We can grieve, but not as those who have no future hope and believe not in a future resurrection. Little 1'iiul is not gone from memory, not jfone from love, Rut j?one to our Father's sweet home above. in that laud of rich supplies. Food is furnished that satisfies; Thank the Lord he Is well fed At that table that is richly spread. In that garden of delight. Oh the joys upon the height; His beautiful form is taken away. Rut his sweet voice is calling this way. Rosy check darling, the light of our home. Was taken so early, hut )>cckoulng cs come. Aunt Jennie Moore. THE ft. R. CONVENTION.

Home, March 27.—Farmers of Cher okee county:—You are about to plant a crop on which depends a great deal. You doubtless desire to do the best for yourselves. The surest way to success is to lay a sure foundation. A sure foundation in farm life is a preparation for a good supply of food at home for man and beast. Are you making preparations for plenty Of corn, potatoes and other food crops? Stop and look over your crop plans. Are they just right? If not go to work and rearrarga them. The surest way in the end to meet all your demands is to hava in the gath ering times a full corn crib and a well filled meat bouse. One of You. Tk« MluntreU.

Mangled llody of a Colored Man Found on the Itnllroad. A colored inttu waa found dead on the Southern railroad in Blacksburg Wednesday morning ab( ut ten min utes of two o’clock, just as p north bound freight train came in. When the train stopped at the sta tion some men who were near the track heard a groan under the train and upon investigation a man was found under it in a mangled condition. His body was warm and ho breathed two or three times after ho was taken out, so witnesses stated at the coro ners’s inquest. Coroner Vineselt was notified and he went to Blacksburg Wednesday morning. At the inquest a Mr. VVhisonant testified to being near the railroad when the train came in and to hearing the group under the cars, as stated above. He notified the conductor of the train and the two took the man from the track He was badly mangled. His head was cut, right shoulder crushed, ribs of rigiit side broken, and a severe wound in the right side which allowed the bowels to come out. A colored woman testified that she had seen the man in Gaffney some time before and that she also knew him as Tom Glenn. She and at other woman tet- tilled to having seen blood near a spring a few hundred yards away, and that a bloody trail led towards the railroid tank, near which the body was found. As soon as the coroner’s jury ad journed, Mr. Vineset and the others went to this spring and, euro enough, they found blood near. They also found spots of blood leading from a hill beyond the spring to within twenty-five yards of the railroad at the tank, and there it ceased. No one knows who the man was nor where he came from, except the colored woman who said his name was Glenn. This woman also said that she saw Glenn in Blacksburg about 5 o’clock on the afternoon be fore he was killed. The body was placed in. a plain pine box and buried on the railroad company’s right of way just beyond Blacksburg. Spring Opening at Wilkin*’.

Mr. 0. E. Wilkins had his spring millinery opening Tuesday and Wed nesday, in which lie displayed all the latest fads in lovely things for the fair sex. It would take one well versed in such things to give a fitting description of all the exquisite aid charming creations that IPs line embraces. It is one of the most extensive ar rays of millinery goods ever shown in this city and on the opening days they were arrayed in a manner that was at once highly artistic and beau tifully appropriate. His display win dow was lovely beyond expiession. All this was due to the skill and ex perienced taste of Miss Jackson, his accomplished milliner, aided by Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs. Allein and Mr. George Brown. Miss Jackson is as thoroughly versed in the milliner’s art as she is charming and sociable in personality, and Mr. Wilkins is to he congratu lated upon having her in charge of bis millinery department.
