(special to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer)
Cunningham, president of the State Farm
ers' Protective Association, arrived in the
city this afternoon where he was SEIZED
uled to make a speech before the Wayne
county branch of the association, but
was debarred from doing SO on account
OF the very inclement weather which had
prevailed all day
Although the rain fell fast and furious
ly this morning at Fremont as it did
here the people of that section were not
deprived of the pleasure Of listening to
this gifted son of the Old North State
as they were in this city. The rain greatly
interfered with the attendance, but at the
appointed hour more than a hundred OF
the business men of the town and the
farmers of the surrounding section gath
cred in the town hall, where Col. Gun
ingham made a most interesting and IN.
structive speech.
He urged the farmers to raise cotton,
tobacco, corn and hogs and to diversity
such crops He said that the farmers are
greatly depressed, owing to the low price
of tobacco and the high prices which
they have to pay for supplies with which
to cultivate their crops. He referred to
the fact that the people of this section
have a perfect climate above a fertile
sell, which yields almost every product
of the temperate zone.
He gave it as his opinion that good
tobacco would sell higher later on in the
season and that all farmers who can
hold their tobacco will get better prices,
especially for the better grades. Col.
Cunningham interspersed his speech today
with several jokes that were lleenly rel
ished and rapturously applauded.
Colonel Cunningham read his audience
the charter of the Farmers Protective
Association and urged on the farmers the
necessity of organization if they expect to
accomplish through legislation, both State
and National, what other branches OF in
dustry have obtained. He said that at
a State meeting of the farmers some time
ago resolutions were adopted, copies Of
which were sent to the Senators of North
Carolina and Virginia, the two principal
tobacco growing States, with the request
that they present the same to President
Roosevelt and request him to deposit
some of the treasury surplus in the banks
OF this section as he is doing in some of
the Western States. He explained that
such a course would be beneficial to all
classes of people and that the South
which is a part of the country as well
as the West, had as much right to use
the surplus as any section.
In closing his speech Colonel Cunning
ham paid an eloquent tribute to the ad-
ministraton of Governor Aycock.
