NOTICE
To The Tobacco Farmers of Flit And
Adjoining Counties.
Having been raised on a tobacco
farm near the town of
the largest tobacco market in
the state and for the past few years
connected with Ayden tobacco market,
I feel that I am in position to assert,
with a reasonable degree of accuracy,
that the Greenville tobacco market
is one of the best in the state. From
my experience on a small market, I
became convinced that I could not
protect the interest of tobacco farm-
selling on my floor, and therefore
decided to establish myself with a
larger market. I shall this year have
charge of the Gum warehouse for the
Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Com-
I want to say to every tobacco
farmer, and especially to those who
have sold with me in the past, that,
as manager of the Gum warehouse,
for the above company, I am
in position to thoroughly pro-
your interest in the sale of your
tobacco, and every pound that is sold
on this floor shall have my personal
supervision and personal interest.
I want to thank all of my old
whoso patronage deeply
and to say to those who
have never sold with me, that if you
will give me a trial, I will endeavor
to make you a customer and make
you feel at home at THE

STAR WAREHOUSE HAS FIRST SALE
The Market Will Have A Strong
Corps of Forces

The tobacco warehouse row in
Greenville is a busy place just now
with the final preparations for the
opening market which takes
place on Friday, September first.
The opening of the tobacco market
season is always hailed with delight,
for it means employment to more
people, more money in circulation
among the farmers and more trade
for the business people. Following
as it does the dull summer months,
everything takes on new life and
everybody gets busy when the
co market opens.
The of Greenville
were never in better shape to handle
a crop than they are for the com-
season, and they are determined
to make Greenville hold its place as
the leader of the Eastern markets.
The market this season being some
weeks later in opening than formerly
has given the farmers more time to
get their crops cured and ready for
market, hence it is expected that
sales will be brisk almost from the
outset. The crop this year Is a very
short one, and that may mean a
short season. If prices are good at
the opening they ought to be
good for the entire the farm-
will no doubt sell freely early in
the season, but if prices are not sat-
there will likely be a hold-
back until they get better. Sure-
the buyers should appreciate the
shortness of the crop and pay for it
all that it is
One warehouse here, the Peoples,
having been destroyed by fire since
last season, only four warehouses
will be operated on the Greenville
market this season, but they have
ample room to handle all the tobacco
that can come here. The four houses
are Star, Brick, Gum and Lib-
all well known to the planters
who sell on this market. The open-
sale will take place Friday at
the Star, and then proceed at the
other houses in the order named
above. Manager Foxhall, of the Star,
says that as it is up to him to make
the opening prices with the first sale,
he is going to set a high pace that
the others must hustle to approach.
While we are not yet able to give
a list of the buyers on the Green-
ville market for this season, as all
of them have not come, it is safe to
say no market will have a stronger
corps and they will be here for
with ample facilities for taking
care of all their purchases.

FORMER BETHEL PHYSICIAN.
SUSAN SPARKS BEAD.
End Came Suddenly Monday After-
noon.
A little past o'clock, Monday
afternoon, Mrs. Susan Sparks died;
very suddenly at the home of Mr.
Everett on Pitt street.
Mrs. Sparks, who had been spend-
her time alternately with her
three children, was here visiting her
son. Mr. J. M. Sparks, and intended
going to Ayden Monday evening to
spend a while with her daughter
there. With Mrs. she was on
the way to the Atlantis Coast Line
depot, and when near the Christian
church Mrs. Sparks complained of
feeling sick and wanting some
cine and they went to the home of
Mrs. near by. When they
reached the home Mrs. Sparks was
much worse and passed away in a
few minutes after lying down.
Mrs. Sparks was years of age
and leaves three children, Mr. J. M.
Sparks, of Greenville; Mr. J. W.
Sparks, of Conway, S. C; and Mrs.
J. A. Forrest, of Ayden.
The remains were taken to Kin-
this afternoon for burial there.
Death of Doctor G. A.

BETHEL, N. C, Aug.
of this community were deeply
grieved to learn on Sunday evening,
of the death of Dr. G. F. Thigpen,
formerly of this city.
A graduate of the medical school
the University of Maryland, Dr.
Thigpen came to Bethel as a young
man soon after receiving his degree,
and located here for the practice of
his profession. His bright and sun-
disposition, his thoughtfulness and
consideration for others, no less than
his exceptional ability as a
of medicine, soon won for him
a host of friends and admirers.
Until February, when failing health
necessitated his retirement, it was
his pleasure to bring cheer and com-
fort to the sick and distressed,
himself, as was the measure
of the man, to relieve the burdens of
his fellows. A thorough Christian
gentleman, a humanitarian in the
strictest sense, and a physician of
the old school, his untimely death is
indeed a great loss to the
and the heartfelt sympathy of
his many friends go out to the
members of the family in
their hour of trial.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at the home of his father,
Mr. Lafayette Thigpen, near Mildred,
in Edgecombe county, after which the
remains were interred in the family
plot with the rites of the Woodmen
of America.
Dr. Thigpen is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Beulah Sparks, of
one son. Guy T., Jr.; his
father, Mr. Lafayette Thigpen, and a
large family of brothers and sisters.

they are hard. But, my, let it rain

Editor, if you had to walk on it as
I did one stormy night last winter
when you would mire or inches
every step, you would have cussed
the sand-clay road as much as I did.
it was the worst road that I have
ever seen. It is also true that during
a wet period farmers do their most
hauling. When it is too wet to do
farm work, every farmer is on the
road and during a wet period the
sand-clay roads is worse than the
old road. So what is the use of
spending on something that
will not benefit the farmers It will
only a few joy riders. We
farmers had just as soon drive
through sand as clay. If we are go-
to have improved roads lets have
them good out of season as well as
in season.
It used to be that the farmers were
easily fooled, but that time died with
the old that didn't

The convention of the tobacco grow-
from the tobacco district of North
Carolina and Virginia came to a close
yesterday at noon, after a further dis-
of the pool which the grow-
on Friday decided to make of the
crop of 1911. A speech was made yes-
morning by Dr. H. Q. Alex-
of Mecklenburg county,
dent of the North Carolina
Union. A bureau of information was
established and the plans for close
organization were perfected.
The farmers left for their homes
yesterday afternoon, every train from
noon till night carrying away its quota
of the large number present. All left
behind the feeling that they have ac-
a very long and necessary
stride toward securing better times
for themselves in the future. They
express themselves as being reason-
ably assured that they will experience
no serious difficulty in securing a
price of not less than cents per
pound in any one section for their
tobacco and cents per pound for
the bright leaf.
It is that the system they
have adopted for their safety is as
near perfect as could be expected, and
the claim is made that mistakes in
forming pools in Kentucky and Ten-

No one knows how long ago the
smelting of ores and working of met-
began at Birmingham, but years
before our Declaration of
was signed her metal work was
throughout the world. To-
day Birmingham has a population of
more than and it would be
natural to conclude that her
trial position had been established be-
the possibility of overthrow.
On contrary there is a serious
crisis In the heavy branches of the
iron and steel trade of Birmingham
and the surrounding
of great iron plants have moved
to the seaboard, others are
to follow, and still others have
failed. One such property was recent-
put up at auction. The plant was
as complete as any in the country,
but the highest bid was less than
one-third the estimated value. Nat-
the people of Birmingham are
looking for the cause and seeking for
a remedy. The iron and steel in-
Is the very foundation of their
prosperity, and the loss of the
always means the fall of the
superstructure.
Conditions are far different in Man-
chester, although it is not all sun-
shine even there. Most of the cotton
mills had to run on short time last
year, but that was due solely to the
in the cotton crop of the
world. The significant thing is the
increase in the number and
variety of new industries. On one
great tract of land, called the
Park estate, no less than firms or
corporations have secured sites in
recent years for the establishment of
industries, many of them of
size. Similar developments are
place on other tracts of land in
and around Manchester. Most
of all, especially to
ham, is the purchase of acres of
ground on which the erection of a
great iron and steel works has
ready begun. The addition of great
industries means growth in population
and when the pending annexation of
adjoining town of has been
out, Manchester will have a
population of more than
souls.
The disastrous conditions in
are due not to a general de-
in the iron and steel trade,
for that did not exist, but to high
freight rates. Birmingham is only
miles from Bristol and to miles
from Liverpool, but it is mile-
age but cost of transportation that

of Repeated efforts
to secure a reduction of railway rates
having failed, it is now recognized
that the only real remedy lies in a
improvement of the water-
ways leading to the seaboard. It has
already been proposed that the towns
interested shall advance
without interest, to aid in the con-
of a big canal.
The history of Manchester shows
commerce greater than that of any
port in the United States except New
York City.
What Birmingham will do is for
Birmingham to say, but the moral of
this Talc of Two Cities is not hard to
see. More than natural resources,
more than the combination of capital
and skill in manufactures, more than
prestige of centuries of success, more
than all other factor, more, sometimes,
than all other more sometimes
cost of transportation determines the
success or the failure, the prosperity
or the decay of industries and cities.
It is costly transportation that, like
a hidden cancer, is eating out the in-
life of Birmingham; it is
cheap transportation, that, like a
mighty magnet, is drawing industries
and population to Manchester; and
the cheapest of all transportation is
water transportation.

The Girls of Today.
Mr. P. who edits one
of the departments of the Bed Springs
Citizen, made some sober and timely
remarks recently upon the difference
in the training of the girls of today
and those of a generation ago. He
referred to the uselessness and help-
of the average girl in our
towns as contrasted with the vigor

Pi Like To Go.
It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, or whistles
blow.
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs
don't sound,
And I'd have stillness all around
Not real stillness, but the trees,
Low whispering, or the hum of bees.
Or brooks, faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones;
Or maybe the cricket or
Or the songs of birds in the hedges
hid,
Or just some sweet sound as these
To fill a tired heart with case
If for sight and sound and
smell,
I'd like the city pretty well;
But when it comes to getting rest.
I like the country lots the best.

Engagement
Announced.
Mrs. W. Allen entertained
at o'clock Thursday with one
of the most beautiful and elaborate
luncheons ever given in Greenville
to compliment Miss Lucy Royce
Brown. The floral decorations
throughout the home were beautiful
and in the dining room the
were especially effective. The
mantel, sideboard and cabinets were
banked with ferns and large bouquets
of pink roses tied with tulle. From
the chandelier was a shower effect
of tiny gold bells suspended from
pink and white ribbons. In the
of the exquisite table which was
covered with lace over pink
was a white slipper prettily decorated
with pink roses and resting on a
round plateau. The slipper held
favors each being led to its place
with alternating pink and white rib-
Surrounding this were four
crystal candle-stands tied with fluffy
white bows caught with pink
roses and burning white tapers with
pink shades. At either end of
the table were large cut glass bowls
of pink roses and ferns. The name
cards were decorated with brides and
grooms done in water colors. The
souvenirs were tiny white slippers
holding dainty candies. The chosen
colors of pink and white were
the honoree, Miss Lucy Royce Brown,
featured in each of the six
es served. The ices were pink roses
on which were perched small bisque
cupids. On the heart-shaped cakes
were white doves each bearing tiny
cards announcing the engagement of
to Mr. James Burton James, of
Greenville, N. C. On the reverse side
was given the date of their approach-
marriage which will be October
the eleventh. This announcement
was a fitting climax of the happy
and was greeted with cheers
from the guests, who showered the
bride-elect with confetti from white
heart-shaped satin boxes embossed in
gold letters Just here strains
of the Lohengrin wedding march came
floating in-through the large folding
doors. At this time, too, a telegram
was received by the hostess from
Mr. James.
Each guest joined in with a beau-
toast, to all of which Miss
Brown responded. f
The announcement of the engage-
and approaching marriage of
Miss Brown to Mr. James will be re-
with interest by their many
friends throughout East Tennessee
and in North Carolina. It was while
Miss Brown was a student in Salem
College, at N. C, that
this romance began. She is one of
the most talented and popular
of Greenville's social set and
will be missed in church, musical
and social circles. Mr. James is a
brilliant young attorney, being a
member of the well known law firm
F. G. James Son, of Greenville,
N. C. And his marriage to Miss
Brown will unite one of the oldest
and most prominent families of Ten-
with one of like rank in the
Old North State.
Mrs. Allen was becomingly gown-
en in a hand embroidered pongee.
Miss Brown was beautifully costumed
in a white lingerie over pink satin.

It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, or whistles

Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs

And I'd have stillness all around
Not real stillness, but the trees,
Low whispering, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks, faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones;
Or maybe the cricket or
Or the songs of birds in the hedges

Or just some sweet sound as these

Engagement
Announced.
Mrs. Charles W. Allen entertained
at o'clock Thursday with one
of the most beautiful and elaborate
luncheons ever given in Greenville
to compliment Miss Lucy Royce
Brown. The floral decorations
throughout the home were beautiful
and in the dining room the
were especially effective. The
mantel, sideboard and cabinets were
banked with ferns and large bouquets
of pink roses tied with tulle. From
the chandelier was a shower effect
of tiny gold bells suspended from
pink and white ribbons. In the
of the exquisite table which was
covered with lace over pink
was a white slipper prettily decorated
with pink roses and resting on a
round plateau. The slipper hold
favors each being led to its place
with alternating pink and white rib-
Surrounding this were four
crystal candle-stands tied with fluffy
white bows caught with pink
roses and burning white tapers with
pink shades. At either end of
table were large cut glass bowls
of pink roses and ferns. The name
cards were decorated with brides and
grooms done in water colors. The
souvenirs were tiny white slippers
holding dainty candies. The chosen
colors of pink and white were
honoree, Miss Lucy Royce Brown,
featured in each of the six
es served. The ices were pink roses
on which were perched small bisque
cupids. On the heart-shaped cakes
were white doves each bearing tiny
cards announcing the engagement of
to Mr. James Burton James, of
Greenville, N. C. On the reverse side
was given the date of their approach-
marriage which will be October
the eleventh. This announcement
was a fitting climax of the happy
and was greeted with cheers
from the guests, who showered the
bride-elect with confetti from white
heart-shaped satin boxes embossed in
letters Just here strains
of the Lohengrin wedding came
floating in-through the large folding
doors. At this time, too, a telegram
was received by the hostess from
Mr. James.
Each guest joined In with a beau-
toast, to all of which Miss
Brown responded.
The announcement of the engage-
and approaching marriage of
Miss Brown to Mr. James will be re-
with interest by their many
friends throughout East Tennessee
and in North Carolina. It was while
Miss Brown was a student in Salem
College, at N. C, that
this romance began. She is one of
the most talented and popular
of Greenville's social set and
will be missed in church, musical
and social circles. Mr. James is a
brilliant young attorney, being a
member of the well known law firm
of F. G. James Son, of Greenville,
N. C. And his marriage to Miss
Brown will unite one of the oldest
and most prominent families of Ten-
with one of like rank in the
Old North State.
Mrs. Allen was becomingly gown-
ed in a hand embroidered pongee.
Miss Brown was beautifully costumed
in a white lingerie over pink satin.

. have appeared in the
and have grown each
. i loss which primarily is
paid by the and producer of
cotton, incidentally reaches the mill
agents, exporters and mills. The
abuses arc First, the
use of bagging; second, weight
of bagging used; and third, the
weight of the bales.
Regarding the excessive use of bag-
each bale should be covered on
the upper and lower sides, in the
press box, and on the heads, and no
more. The quality of covering con-
sufficient to cover a hale is
pounds, which includes bagging
and bands, and any excess over this
will be deducted.
As to the weight of the
bagging used, it was only a few years
ago when the bagging weighed 21-4
pounds, pounds and 1-4 pounds
to the yard, the heaviest being 21-4
pounds; now we hear of bagging
weighing and pounds per yard.
This is selling bagging and not cot-
ton. We would strongly protest
against anything heavier than 21-4
pounds, and in case where the bagging
exceeds 21-2 pounds we advise the
that just claims and deduct-
ions will be made against such
Weight.
The weight bales have be-
come more in evidence as the heavy
weight bagging has increased. While
there are rules against bales of cot-
ton under pounds, and as all
sales made both for domestic and
foreign shipment are required to
weigh an average of pounds km
ale, it is urged that shipments
ed to Norfolk shall average in weight,
as near pounds per bale as
because on bales weighing
pounds or under a deduction may be
made.
These suggestions are made purely
with a view of saving the producer
and of cotton from further
loss by correcting these bales.

WHY TAFT VETOED
BILL
THEY WANT TO BE
How The Millionaires Keep Up Eat
Dividends.
Clyde H.
An-
dent veto o i bill
means there will be this
winter in the price of woolen cloth-
of any sort for men, women and
children, nor in the prices of blankets
nor any other forms of woolen man-
needed for warmth by the
general public. And just so much
as the public would have saved in
cheaper woolens, together with the
amount the would have
ed in cheaper agricultural implements
had the president signed the free list
bill, will be transferred unjustly to
the coffers of the woolen trust and
the harvester trust, two star
tors to the Republican
find.
What Is the president's defense for
refusing to permit a reduction in the
cost of living Let us First,
he makes the point the wool bill was
when as a matter of
fact the ways and means committee
put in three months of sincere
and study before the bill was
framed, which is twice the length of
time given to the consideration of
the woolen schedule of the Payne-
Aid rich bill, and which document the
president readily signed.
Second, the president asks that
the people continue to pay
prices for woolens until he
hears from his tariff board, which is
packed With men who take the high-
protection viewpoint, and whose chief
agents and alleged
abroad are writing back
for American newspapers
and belittling the crying de-
of the consumers for tariff re-
vision downward.
Mr. Taft's message against cheaper
woolens will go down as a document
misrepresentation, false pretense
and excuses. The real reason the
president vetoed the various tariff
bills was not stated in any of his
messages. It was because he was
under obligations to the beneficiaries
of the law to serve
their interests instead of the public
interest. Mr. Taft was elected
dent with a campaign fund
by special privilege. Then,
done this the great tariff trusts
extended further aid placed Taft
further in their by frightening
their employees into voting for Taft
with the threat their factories and
mills would closed down unless
he was elected. And, just as he was
the candidate of special privilege,
Mr. Taft is revealed in his veto mes-
sage as also the president of special
privilege.
Thus it is shown again how
makes politics a business
The trusts contribute cam-
funds to the party of the high
protection wall with the intention of
not only receiving from the public
the amount of such contributions in
excessive prices, but
as profits. Mr. Taft proved
an exceptionally good investment for
the tariff trusts.

Judson C. one of the very
few Washington newspaper and mag-
writers, who write what they
think, has an article in Hampton's
Magazine this month which is of es-
interest, now that President
Taft has vetoed the cotton bill. This
article is an account of how the cot-
ton millionaires keep up their fat

stances to one hundred per cent, an-
at the same time con-
to plead for high tariff, without
which they contend they will starve
to death. Mr. begins his

Mr. writes, cotton trust
paid its usual fat dividends.
True, its already underpaid labor had
to suffer sharp reductions; true, the
wearers of its products had to pay
increased prices. But that was
important to the cotton millionaires.
They would have their dividends, and
they got them. They had the power
to extort them. They could pay as
low wages and charge as high prices
as they chose. The tariff wall held
them secure in their domination.

EX-GOVERNOR AYCOCK
AT OAK CITY THURSDAY
LAME CROWD HIM SPEAK
Oak City Is A Prosperous, Progressive
Town.
Several went from here to Oak City
over in Martin county, Thursday to
hear Governor Aycock and enjoy the
barbecue and other good things
pared by the people of that
community.
Oak City is what was formally
Goose Nest, in the center of Goose
Nest township, which is the banner
Democratic township of Martin
and has more than once saved
the county for the party. As a
town, it has a depot, a bank six
stores, two others in course of
two saw and shingle mills, a
grist mill and a large a
population of about and a brass
band. A recital of stores, bank, etc.,
docs not convey an idea of what Oak
City is to a man visiting the place on
such an occasion as this, to see and
mingle with the people and see the
evidences of culture progress and
prosperity. It is the center of a
prosperous farming section. The
crowd was variously estimated at be-
tween and a number of
people from adjoining counties also
being present.
It was to such a crowd that Mr. R.
O. Everett, of Durham, introduced the
speaker. Mr. Everett came down for
the speaking and to spend the
with his home people, he being, as
Mr. J. J. Long, chairman of the school
board, said In introducing him,
as they knew him,
weighs Mr. Everett spoke of
his pleasure in being present and see-
such marked signs of prosperity.
No community, he said, had more
marked evidences of progress, and
that the natural possibilities had
ways been great, this community had
felt and been advanced by the great
educational wave that had swept the
state. That he was proud to be here
with one of the factors in creating
and advancing that movement to the
overflowing of this common-
wealth.

proof could be produced than to ask
the older people to reflect on the con-
He said that Governor
cock and his co-laborers had not only
increased the progress and prosper-
of the state, but had created a
state of mind, a spirit which per-
the whole people and moves
forward for their uplift. This spirit,
he denominated Aycock
After the introductory speech, the
band played and Governor
Aycock began a matchless educational
address. Governor Aycock said he
had done what he could, but
and the teachers of the state
had made this stride and that he
had only been a worker among them.
His description of the application of
education to agriculture was most
apt and appropriate. The
of the principle of contest and
competition as a means of develop-
was illustrated by examples
from every day life. Further, that it
takes education to appreciate
every phase of life being
by this principle. There was
no reference to politics or anything
that could be construed politically
throughout the entire address.
Governor Aycock was in fine trim
and spoke with old time power and
effect. It was interesting at the close
of the address and throughout the
day to hear the older men tell of his
speech at Williamston, seventeen
years ago, when he debated the is-
sues of the day with. ex-Senator But-
One enthusiastic Aycock admirer j
said that Senator Butler spoke first
and that when his speech was finished
he was a Populist, and happy with it
because his mind was made up. But
said he, Governor Aycock, began his
speech calmly and had not gone far
before Butler's speech was answered
and at the close of the governor's
speech he was back home, and that
was the only time he had ever
in his devotion to the Demo-
party. There was no doubt
that Aycock pervaded the
crowd Thursday. One of the strong-
est leaders in the county said that
Aycock was North Carolina's second
Vance.
Governor Aycock was the guest of
Mr. Justus Everett Wednesday night
and of Dr. B. L. Long, of Hamilton,
for an automobile drive Thursday
morning.

ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT.
One of the greatest agents of in-
development, and we believe
one that is to lead all others in North
Carolina, is electricity. The develop-
of large water powers through
which electric power is transmitted
to towns covering a large area, will
infuse new life in these towns and
lead to the establishment of various
manufacturing enterprises. Not only
will the towns be but in-
rural communities as well
for the building of interurban
lines will bring all into such close
touch that the benefit will reach to
all. We can see great things com-
to North Carolina through this
means of development.
Recently the Charlotte Observer
sent out an immense interurban
which told of what the Southern
Power Company is doing along that
line. That company is already

Raleigh and perhaps further, and
hope the latter means it will not stop
short of this section of the state.
Eastern North Carolina offers a
most inviting field for such develop-
True, there are not so many
manufacturing enterprises in this
section as in the Piedmont country,
but an opportunity to get cheap power
would mean the rapid establishment
of those enterprises. Here

Goldsboro, Kinston, New
Bern, Washington, Greenville, Rocky
Mount and Wilson, are a group of
progressive towns in one of the finest
sections of the state with numerous
smaller towns and a great
country lying between. We would
like to the Southern Power Com-
or some kindred company come
in to this section. An interurban sys-
connecting these towns would be
a profitable investment for the pro-
motors. The Reflector hopes they
will turn eyes this way and
bring their lines on.
HINDRANCES TO DEVELOPMENT.
The Reflector makes no pretentious
to infallibility, and may not always
be correct in its opinions. At the
same time it observes things, it
watches the trend of affairs, and from
its observations forms conclusions.
And one very deep seated conviction
it has reached and will assume bold-
enough to assert, is that if there
was less political agitation in North
Carolina, less place seeking, and less
antagonism to capital, this state
would be far more prosperous and
progressive than it is. Capital, if we
may refer to it as a thing with life,
is timid, and hesitates to rush in
where there is danger of being
upon by every place seeker who
cries just to attract
in the effort to elevate himself
to office. Mind you, we are not an
advocate of trusts, and while do
believe in combinations of capital for
the promotion of enterprises, these
combinations should be on the same
footing and have no more rights than
others.
It is well known that few, if any,
enterprises of consequence can
established by individual effort. How
could we have ever had any railroads,
any large manufacturing enterprises,
any great development, except through
men of capital combining their means
and efforts to accomplish these things
Even local enterprises are seldom
brought about except by the
men of a community getting together
and establishing them.
of this kind are needed for the
development of the state, and should
be encouraged rather than attacked
and pulled down.
Lets have less agitation, less
moil, less opposition to capital, and
more of that spirit of unity and peace
that will invite capital to seek in-
vestment and help build up our state.
We have the best state in the Union
for development if we were only
given more to encouragement and
less to antagonism.
POOLING TOBACCO CROP.
Last week a meeting was held in
Greensboro purporting to be
ed of representative tobacco growers
of every bright tobacco producing
county in Virginia and North Caro-
As the deliberations of the
meeting were mainly in secret, the
public is not advised as to what took
place except in generalities. We
give in another one report of
it taken from the Greensboro Daily
News, that indicates that resolutions
were adopted and plans set on foot
to pool the tobacco crop. Another
paper announced that the resolution
declared for a pool to hold for
cents a pound for tobacco.
As the public is not apprised of the
details of this meeting and the plans
that were set on foot for a pool of the
tobacco crop, or who is behind the
movement or how far reaching its
scope, it may be unwise to offer any
comment on it. But we are going
to suggest with the information at
hand, that if a pool has been made
selling the price at cents for re-
dried tobacco, we do not see
benefit from it to the man who really
grows the tobacco. Everybody ac-
with the sale and handling
of leaf tobacco, knows that there is
a cost of something like 1-2 or
cents a pound between the time the
farmer disposes of it on the ware-
house floor and the and get-
ting it ready to turn over to the man-
therefore cents a pound
for tobacco means something
around 1-2 cents that the farmer
will get on the warehouse floor.
There is hardly any one acquainted
with tobacco crop conditions this year
but who believes the farmers of East-
Carolina are going to get a better
price than this for their crop. The
crop is very short, and if it does
not sell well on the warehouse floors
this season it is going to be con-
to expectations. We heard one
man say he would not be afraid to
risk offering an average of cents
a pound on the warehouse floor for
every pound of sound tobacco that is
sold in Pitt county of this season's
crop.
WHY NO AMERICAN SHIPS
To carry us and our freight over-
land in the United States, our rail-
way system is the finest and most
efficient transportation system in he
world. When we sail on the ocean,
we must go in a foreign ship, take
second choice, and pay the highest
Observer.
Is this a hint that the government
should step up with a subsidy to in-
duce Americans to build ships If
so, let's argue it a little. Why does
the United States have the finest and
most efficient railway systems in the
world It because capitalists came
together and built them, and that
without aid of the government.
If there are no great ships of com-
plying the ocean that float the
American flag at their masthead, it
is because American capitalists have
not put their money in them. If
Americans want to let foreigners
monopolize this branch of com-
that is their business; but it
is no more business of the govern-
to pay subsidies to capitalists
for building ships than it is to pay
subsidies to farmers to raise cotton
and other crops.
PUBLIC IS WEAK.
One has but to go around a criminal
court and note the difficulty in con-
a defendant of selling whiskey,
to be convinced that public
is very weak for the enforce-
of the prohibition law. It is
with a feeling of shame for such
sentiment that this must be admit-
but it is nevertheless true. The
fault for failure to convict blind
tigers is not with the judge nor the
solicitor, but because the sentiment
of so many who get in the Jury box
is against it. No correction of pub-
sentiment is worse needed than
along this line. It is a field in which
a law and order league could do
good work. Public sentiment ought
to be made so strong that a man
not conscientiously sit on a
jury and, contrary to the evidence,
acquit a defendant of selling liquor
for no other reason than that he,
the juror was opposed to
Such verdicts show a danger-
spirit of disrespect for the law.
Public sentiment is not sufficiently
strong against blind tigers.
Every county, every township, and
every community where the
is sufficiently dense, should have
a law and order league. Such a league
should not be organized to take the
execution of the law and order into
its own hands, but to see the
law is enforced. The officers o whom
are left the execution o the law
should have both the moral and
cal support of their community. An
officer often risks his life when he
goes out to execute the law, and cases
are but of recent occurrence where
officers have been assassinated for
performing their duty. Public
should be so strong behind law
and Its enforcement, that such things
as this could not exist. An officer
will go about his duty with less fear
if he knows the people are standing
behind him. A law and order
properly conducted could make pub-
sentiment so strong that the man
who commits crime will know that
he must leave the community or take
the punishment that his crime de-
serves. The laws will not en-
forced as they should be until the
people give their support.
First thing Editor Clarence Poe
knows some Smart Alec will be jump-
up and accusing The Progressive
Farmer of being a trust. Editor Poe
has a way of buying up an
paper wherever he can and
combining it with The Progressive
Farmer, such step making his
own paper stronger, better and more
useful. His latest acquisition of this
kind was the purchase of the only
agricultural paper in Alabama and
adding its subscription list to The
Progressive Farmer which now has
gone past the mark. Of course
it means a benefit to the farmers of
Alabama, for the visits of The Pro-
Farmer will do for them

farmers of North Carolina and other

Mr. O. L. Joyner Gives Interesting
Review of the Tobacco Situation,
Showing Where Large Crops Have
Caused Low Prices.
Editor
In i espouse to our request for an
article on the tobacco situation, I
do not recall that during my
in the tobacco business for
the last twenty years, a situation
similar to the one confronting us at
this time. Many changes have taken
place in the tobacco since the
Greenville market was established in
1881, and many and varying
have existed that affected the
trade. My work and experience have
led me to consider the tobacco
largely from the stand point of
the tobacco farmer, not ignoring the
While the rights and interests of
others.
When first we began growing to-
in Eastern North Carolina, the
total production of tobacco in the
state was only a little over fifty mil-
lion pounds. During these years, the
production of tobacco increased
and at times exceeded the
This condition has invariably
brought on low prices. A few and
only a few times during these years,
has the production been less or about
equal to the consumption. This con-
has invariably been
by increased prices and active
demand for tobacco. I have
to induce the farmers to con-
the production along the line of
consumption, and in this way bu
sure of profitable prices at all times,
for I have never believed that any
circumstances or combination of cir-
could very long force
down and keep down the price of any
product or commodity if there was a
shortage of that product or com-
Tobacco farmers remember
a few years ago, when Eastern North
Carolina alone produced over one
hundred million pounds, how low the
price was the succeeding year. They
also remember that within two years
time after the production of this
bumper the production in East-
Carolina fell to a little
over forty million pounds. Why
Simply because the production was
so far in excess of consumption tho
price of tobacco went so low as to
force many of them to abandon its
culture. When the production fell
to about forty million, the price be-
going up until Eastern North
again produced upwards of
seventy million pounds. This was
three years ago. The price was
low. Farmers were
urged to reduce their acreage and
they did it. Bad crop seasons and
the strong determination on the part
of the farmers to cut out at prevail-
prices, still further reduced the
production and in 1910 only about
,, ;
decrease acreage, but on account
of scarcity of only about
per cent, of last year's acreage was
planted, and the prevailing and
broken drought will doubtless still
further reduce the production. The
thoughtful farmers will have no
in recalling without
higher prices those years when
small crops were made, and lower
prices those years when large crops
were made. During all this time,
the consumption of tobacco has been
gradually increasing. Of course, the
crop has been gradually increasing.
In considering the conditions
the tobacco trade, we must
look at the types of tobacco. Eastern
North Carolina and South Carolina
tobacco is classed by the government
as one type. Central North Caro-
and Virginia brights are classed
as What I have said
pertains to the production of
co in Eastern North Carolina. But
influences radically affecting any of
the different types of tobacco, will
likewise have some effect on the
others. For instance, a heavy pro-
of tobacco in tho
will affect the selling price of our
Eastern North Carolina tobacco. A
small crop in the would
likewise have the effect of
the selling price of our tobacco.
A recent government report shows
the tobacco crop in the United States
to be very short this year, something
over three hundred million. Of
course, no one can tell what the
production will be, but in North
Carolina and South Carolina we know
it is an unusually short crop, and
with these conditions, farmers this
year should receive good prices for
their product. It is a time for them
to be cautious, and not to too
anxious to sell at what seems to be
high prices. It is a time to move
intelligently, not to be in too big a
rush, but to go about the selling of
this crop in a Bane, sensible way,
and if they properly grade and mark-
et their crop there is no doubt but
what they will get satisfactory prices.
This is a year when tobacco farm-
should think for themselves and
not be influenced to part with their
tobacco in ways that have not been
tried.
It is a good year for farmers to
take a day off before they get ready
to sell their tobacco, and examine
the methods and systems of ware-
houses, and see for themselves, with-
out the influence of paid drummers
or where they can
best market their tobacco to their
own interest. Every warehouseman
and every employee naturally is do-
all he can for his particular
warehouse. Intelligent farmers ought
to be able to form their own con-
as to the best place for them
to sell their tobacco and have their
interests thoroughly protected and
looked after.

it looked very much as do other
trains. There was nothing unusual
about the appearance of the
that was drawing the four cars
that were attached. They had to me
very much the appearance of other
cars of their class. Two of them
looked right much like the regular
passenger cars of this line and two
had very much the appearance of the
regular baggage and express cars
that pass this way four times each
day. So to me there was really
about this train of greater in-
than the other trains. But
standing in another door close by the
railroad track was a woman with
several children. To these this train
was hailed with great joy, because
her husband and the father of those
children is an employee of the rail-
toad company, and this train they
know is bringing with it an envelope

They must know that a man is

Still another that is more thought-

amount of business, with so many

vast expense in every way. Sir, let

First of all, get your district so

Using School Buildings Out of School
Hours.
Not many years ago we closed our
school house doors at four o'clock,
and allowed them to remain closed on
Saturdays, Sundays and during the
summer vacation. In other words, an
immense amount of valuable prop-
belonging to the people, and
needed by the people, was put to only
half of its possible use. Now we are
changing all that; we have waked up
to the fact that the schools may and
should be a common meeting ground,
and the movement for a wider use of
the school plant is spreading over the
country. At present, in more than
one hundred cities of the United States
school buildings and property are be-
systematically used to further the
social life of the people.
The root of the movement lies deep
down In the growing realization that
those upon whom falls the heat and
burden of the day have a right to
more than mere existence. The toil-
of the world have been for
creatures of the blind necessity
of laws, but in this era the
policy is dead and
buried. We must give our workers the
chance to live; and not the least of
the needs of this many-sided business
living- is that of some legitimate
form of play. The man who feels no
joy in the passing day is only par-
alive, and lowered vitality
means lowered value as a social
tor. The boy who has no chance to
play becomes either dull or vicious.

THE VERY BEST OF GOOD ROADS
Dr. Staley Tells the Story of the Good
Work Done by Those Progressive
Miles of the Seventy
in the Township Constructed.
The very first work done at the
mass meeting of the citizens of this
township for the purpose of devising
ways and means of improving the
roads of Greenville township was
the adopting practically of the Frank-
township road law. Changes
had to be made to suit local
but the Franklinton township
road law is to all intents and
poses the Greenville township road
law.
We publish below a letter from a
citizen of Franklinton township, writ-
ten to the News and Observer, and
commend it to the careful attention
or the people of Greenville town-
ship.
To the
Please one in good
roads to express a few facts con-
new roads in Franklinton
township, Franklinton county, North
Carolina. Under the old system of
keeping roads this township tugged
along highways more expensive to
the average taxpayer than interest
on bonds to build good roads. The
good spirit finally got into this
township and by a majority vote it
was decided to issue bonds for forty
thousand dollars to improve the
roads; and five-sevenths of the roads
have already been completed; and the
work has gone for enough to prove
the wisdom of the movement and the
efficiency of those who have had the
work in charge.
The executive committee was com-
posed or S. C. Vann, B T. Green and
C. S. William's, has
ginning. Mr. Vann is a cotton man-
Mr. Green is a land-owner
and bookkeeper for Sterling Cotton
Mills and Mr. Williams is a large
land-owner and good farmer. These
gentlemen have given their time and
thought to the work without
and have given it the same
attention as they give their own
They have so managed the
end of this public trust as to
heighten the average man's estimate
of the management of public
There has not only been no criticism
from any source of the manner in
which the expenditures have been
made, but the money has been so
wisely and so honestly handled as to
set a new standard of public economy
and safe use of public funds.
The engineer was W. T. of
Harrisonburg, Virginia, and his work
has been very carefully and success-
fully performed. Old roads were
entirely and often miles were
laid out without touching the old
lines. The township is very hilly and
hence the new roads in many parts
are very crooked, though the curves
are beautiful and make the drives
more picturesque and delightful. Many
small streams and Tar river thread
the township, and hence many bridges
had to be constructed. Fifty miles
of the seventy have already been con-
and eleven but
one built of steel or concrete abut-
and piers. Mulligan
has had charge of the construction
force and he has proved himself
capable of executing the plans of the
civil engineer. The roads are con-
of clay and gravel on a
grade nowhere larger than four per
cent. No material has been purchased
beyond the township limits, except
the steel for bridges, mules and ma-
chines. The people appreciate the
hope of good roads and have such
confidence in the committee and the
engineer that no land damage has
had to be paid. A few crop damages
have been paid, though many farm-
have seen vineyards, orchards and
go without charge. Now and
then a man has objected to going
across his field or raking off his gray
soil for top dressing; but a little
reasoning has convinced him of the
benefit to his farm by a good road
and has and
had charge of the work from the be-
proud of what he has done.
As said above, fifty miles of road
and eleven bridges have been con-
and, when the full seventy
miles in the township are finished,
there will be money in the treasury
from the bond issue and all
the work paid for. Thus it appears
that the not cost over
per mile, and they are as good as any
in the state.
Before writing this, I took a spin
over enough of the roads in an
and examined enough of the
bridges to know whereof I write. Be-
sides this, I go over three and a half
miles of this road from my farm to
Franklinton. It is almost level and
as solid as a street.

el roads, with bridges on same grade
with three-inch oak floors; a model
committee whose public spirit served
without pay, and whose books will
be open to all who want to see how
the work has been done. It has
graft, pay. and political pull,
and has set an example worthy of
imitation by other prosperous and
capable men who can render lasting
service to the communities where
they have amassed their wealth. No
public work can be economically

convention for farmers
probably in importance,
in attendance, in the his-
of America, assembled in Shaw-
today for a three session.
The occasion is the annual convention
of the National Union, the
largest, most influential and most
organization of its kind that
ever existed in this country, not ex-
the Alliance, which
made itself felt in national politics
several decades ago.
The present convention is attended
by delegates representing t member-
ship of over scattered over
more than half the United States of
the Union. While the South and the
West are the best represented nu-
there is abundant evidence
to show that the organization is stead-
making headway among the farm-
of other sections of the country.
The National Farmers Union,
though not primarily a political or-
has never hesitated to
make its influence felt in national or
state politics where the interests of
the farmers were believed to be at
slake. Consequently, and in view of
the approaching presidential and
congressional elections, the discus-
and addresses of the three
sessions will be watched cure-
fully by the politicians.
The proposed reciprocity agree-
with Canada will naturally re-
attention from the convention,
as will also such subjects of general
interest as parcels post, the
of foreign and the ab-
of gambling in farm products.
Much attention will be given also to
plans for increasing the membership
