President N. G. hurry, of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-

dress. A proposition to change the
object of organizing a Cotton Grow
ers' Union to Mr.. Murray's idea of
secret union, was promptly voted
down, and a committee of the fol-
lowing members, representing all Sec

pointed to write an address to the
cotton growers of the State and pre-

Whitaker, took first prize of herd.
She was bred by E. M. Gillett, sired
by Bacon Lee, bred by N. IT.. Gen

bred by E. W. Gillet. This is a black
SOW, having a long, broad back, and

tiers. Her limbs are of a good size.
sufficient to carry her weight with
ease. She stands well on her feet,
showing no signs of weakness in
them. She has a fine head with a
well crooked nose for her breed. Jul
liza A. Fricker, another SOW exhibited
by MI. Whitaker, was imported from
Burton Mere, Willis, England. She
was narrowed June Is, 1902, and is
now owned by Mr.. r. T. Mills, of
Raleigh. Her dam was Egets F. B.,
and her sire Faithful Commons of
England. She took first prize last
year of sows one year old, and first
prize this year as SOW with finest
litter of pigs. This hog has fine
black hair, and a loose skin. She
has a fine head with a good dished
face. She stands well on her feet,
and has legs well trimmed, and of a
good shape. Her back and hips arc
especially good. Bessie Mason, Berk-
shire SOW of Biltmore, exhibited by
Mr.. Whitaker, was very fine, but she
was not exhibited for a prize. One
imported Berkshire boar, Champion
of Biltmore, exhibited by Mr.. Whit
.aker, was very good, though his body
was rather short and his back not
straight enough. Four Berkshire
shoats under one year old, two bears
and two sows exhibited by Mr.. Whit
aker took first prize. One big Eng
lish Berkshire boar known as Dams
field Jr., exhibited by @. F. Will
liams, Arex, N. c., took first prize as
best Berkshire boar at fair, this be-
ing first time exhibited. This hog
was two years old in September. His
sire is Columbia, and his dam is RS
Ideal V. He stands well on his
feet and has a long, broad. straight
back. He has fine hair and a we'll

Tobacco Warehouse Charges-The Other
Side of the Question.

II. FIom1nS, OF COuuGy,
as it appeared in The Progressive
Farmer two weeks ago, the Winston
Tobacco Journal adds the following
as to the other side of the tobacco
warehouse question:
We find the above article in the
last issue of The Progressive Farm
er. Coming as it does from a gem
tleman of unusual intelligence, and
who comes from a family of extern
sive tobacco raisers, the article is
entitled to more than passing no.
tice.
Mr.. Fleming is taking up an old
cry; one that has been sent out
many times. The matter of ware
house charges has been brought be-
fore the State Legislature more than
one time. It may be we'll to inform
Mr.. Fleming that, if we are not very
much mistaken, there is already a
law in existence regulating ware
house charges. The present charges
are not excessive. In fact, accord
ing to the observations of the writer.
who has had nearly thirty years. ex-
perience in the business, a ware
house cannot run on less charges
than they r now making. If Mr..
Fleming, who is a gentleman of in
telligence, will go to any warehouse
in the State, and look yer the ac-
counts of the receipts and the expen-
ditures, he will no doubt be willing
to acknowledge that warehouses are
not gold mines. Mr.. Fleming has
seen many men in his life make for
tunes out of merchandising, farm
ing, manufacturing, etc. How many
men has he known, who made a for
tune in the warehouse BUSINESS?
Some of the best business men we
know are in the warehouse business,
men of enerpv and push, who work
hard all the time, and yet, in all of
our experience, we do not know of a
man who has made money out of the
business. Some of those who are in
the business are men of means, but
they did not make it out of the
warehouse.
If a farmer ever had a friend he
is the warehouseman. Destroy his
business and you remove a power
that cannot be replaced. He stands
in the position all the time to help
the farmer. What ever the market
is, high or low, the warehouseman
sees to it that every pile must bring
the market price. The warehouse
system is a great thing for the farm
er, and it will be a bad day for him
when by legislation or combination
the business is injured to the extent
that the present system will pass
away, or go into the hands of incom-
petent people. IF Mr.. Fleming de-
sires to see in this matter justice
done his friends, he will not jump at
conclusions, but will make an inves-
tigation of facts, and if any ware
houseman is violating the law. why,

LIVE STOCK AT THE STATE FAIR.
A Report on the Cattle, Swine and Sheep
Shown at the North Carolina State
Fair, Raleigh, Oct. 17-22, 1904.

MSSSrS CulIOrS. al GuS SGdGC a.
last week we saw great throngs OF
people there to see the various sights
and the evidences of the development
of our State along industrial lines.
Among the curiosities to a majority
of the people at the Fair, we're the
registered live stock on exhibition.
We say these registered animals are
curiosities to some of the people,
because when we examine the records
of the State on registered live stock,
we find only forty-eight of the nine
ty-seven counties having registered
cattle, thirty-four having registered
swine, and only twenty having regis
tered sheep.
The live stock exhibited at the
Fair this year, excepting the cattle,
was equal to that of last year, but
not excelling it. Many of the ami
mails O n exhibition this Fair were ex-
hibited here in 1903. Among the
best live stock exhibited we're the
Hereford beef cattle, Berkshire hogs
and Merino sheep.
HEREFORD CATTLE.
The best and only Hereford cattle
on entry we're exhibited by MI. W.
D. U~pchurch, of Cary, N. @. There
were only three of these cattle, one
bull and two heifers. The white
faces, white around ears, and Dor
dering neck, and white underline
and light red body. are the charac-
t%eristic markings. The bull, known

prize. He wAs Sired by Beau Roland

old, and weighs twelve hundred
pounds. This animal has a body al
most representing a rectangle, on
four short, fnely-developed legs. He
has a broad forehead, short head.
good, open nose, ears medium size
and neat, horns of a wax color stand
ing almost straight from the sides
of the head. His neck is of a good
length and well padded with mus
Gle. His back is long and broad from
shoulders to crops. His hips and
thighs are we'll and evenly filled out
down to the hooks. His ribs are we'll
sprung giving room for a good chest
and fine attachment for flesh on re-
gions of the back. His legs are short
and stout. His hair, yes and gen
eral appearance show him to be an
animal of good health and constitu-
ton.
The two heifers showed their blood
well by characteristic markings and
more so by their superiority over
other cattle around. Both of these
were a little inferior in quality as
compared with bull, but they were
both good animals. One took first
prize and the other second, as best
heifers of their age and class at the
Fair. These cattle are raised for
their quantity and quality of beef.
They are quicker maturing and are

SHEEP AT HI FAIR.

There were not so many sheep ex-
hibited this year as last, but they
were of as good quality. There was
very little competition on this line.
Only three breeds of any Importance
were exhibited, and these by Camp
bell & Son, of Wellington, Ohio.
Those exhibited were the Southdown,
Oxford and Merino. The South
down is a native of England, COM
ing from the old Waknham family.
This is an ideal mutton sheep, quick
maturing and well adapted to the
South. The Oxford for wool and
mutton is a very good one. They
are the largest of the down. They
average about two hundred pounds,
and are heavy shearers. Among the
sheep, our attention was closely

were several breeds of hogs exhibited.
