ed the follow ing to the otnt ,superin-
rcndents:
The Programme Committee of che
North Carolina Teachers Assembly will
soon meet 70 complete the programme TOR
the meeting June 18th 10 18th.
i am very anxious 70 have this Com
Tnittee set apart one day as Public
School Day Or County StN,erintendents
Day. 4 day which the right Of way, 80
10 sTaall. viii be given to the county
superintenients and their work.
The county superintendent ought to
meet each other II Il meeting OF this
kind. Here rhe difficulties IN the work
can Te discussed, and remedies sought;
here the success can be enumerated and
hope and encouragement gwen to those
who hav burdens and peculiar obstacles
to overcome in the work.
The county suEsrintendentS ought to
SEE each other face 10 ace. The State
superintendent oIle1ht 10 be abb. to see
each one Of his co-iaborers At least once
each year. The last term of my office is
here. and l have not seen face to face
several Of the coun1y superintendent.
May | not hope 10 meet YOU at the
Teathers; Assembly this year?
W did NJ try TO have q meeting <yf
the county superintendent during the
holidays, because OF the confusion in
public school affairs on accuunt Of the
decision of the Supreme Court as 10 the
school boards. We can now make good
the loss Of that meeting.
The Teachers Assembly Will likely
meet at Norehead or Wilmington. Chea,

special hotel rates. =
Please let me know whether there is
a probab ility OF YOU ATTENDING, as I want
TO present Il claim to the COMMITTEE for
a special day for You and Sour work.
II knew Your income in dollars and
cents from your office. Will no enable
sol TO do match, but will You not make
q little sacrifice for the cause you repre-
sent: Tho income in money is small, but
the result Of the honest. faithful county

Hoping to have 1 favorable reply from
you soon.

planted it in America, there is no

Early in the season, this pa er begged

assuring them that the hort crop would

panied by facts, saved the farmers tens
Of thousands Of dollars" said a pr0mi-

tor a few days ago. At the time this
advice was given cotton was at the low

most OF the farmers have been benefit Ell
by holding al least Il part Of their cr9p.
The advice OF the press taken by the
farmers. Was followsd by the action Of
the Southern mill owners who have viz

price than the exporter could nfe-. The
result has been Iha1. the cottHl mill

The South ought 10 learn a lesson from
the experience Of thi, cotton season. Il
can. now that ii has so many cotton
mills, defend itself against th.. so-callad
eAperts and spectators who have made
fortunes gambling in cotton for many
years while the growers OF cb. staple
have rushed il on the market at any old
