FEWER ACRES IN COTTON AND
MORE HOG AND HOMINY.

The unanimous sentiment o. the
great gathering of cotton growers in
Raleigh this week was to hold their
cotton for better prices. reduce the
acreage, and raise more hog and
hominy. To carry into effect this de-
sirable result permanent organization
has been effected with Col. John :.
Cunningham, of Person, as president
Col. Cunningham will take active steps
to effect a thorough organization, and
the slogan will be Sell no cotton at
present prices. reduce the acreage,
and raise home supplies" In the inn
portant work mapped out by the reso-
buttons adopted the association de-
serves and should receive the cooper
alton of every cotton farmer and other
Southern business man. Col. Cum
ingham will press the work with zeai
and enthusiasm, and leave no stone
unturned to carry out the mandates OF
the convention that elected him.
Delegates embracing a number Of
the wisest and most successful farm
ers in the State have been appointed
TO attend the Southern convention &c
be held at New Orleans the latter part
of this month. That meeting will be
of the highest importance. l. VIII
consider the various plans recommend
ed by the several states and ADOPT the

and extreme Southern states that
grow cotton-and the intervening

There is no power that can stand
against the united action of the cotton
growers of the South in their battle
for fair prices for their product.
The large crop of cotton of 1889
G1.274S40 bales) brought $2S2,7I3,-
974. The smallest crop since. that OF
1904 GO,011,374 bales) brought
s613.797.339. That is TO say that the
farmers got s331.023, 365 in 1904
for 1.263,466 less bales of cotton than
they got in 1882 for that many more
bales of cotton. Experience has proved
beyond question that cotton farmers
LET more money gross for small crop
than for a large one. Does not ms
prove that the acreage should be re-
duced?
Many bears have sold contracts and
during the next three months they
must get cotton or they will lose large
sums of money This accounts for
their frantic effort to press down the
price of cotton. Only this week one
such firm paid seven cents for a GER
tain lot of cotton in Tarboro TO fulfill
a contract. II farmers will refuse to
sell at seven or eight, the price Will
go higher in the spring If the cotton
acreage has been greatly decreased.

in January, 1903. 1t embraced in It's
membership many OF thee first men IN
North Carolina and its deliberations
made a powerful impression for good

Already in this Legislature several
bills that would make the temperance
legislation less effective and valuable
have been introduced and their pass

influential parties. 1t behooves the
men who set in motion the influences
which secured the passage of the
Watts law, and all who wish to lessen

FayelteNlIle Observer.
The annual report of President Ven-
able, which appears i'll the November
number of the University Record, is
full of interest as il is Of encourage
lnent and inspiration. We shall have
occasion to refer to it more at length
In abiding to this remarkable docu-
ment now, it. has occurred to us TO call
attention again to the singular fact
that no very rich person has chosen
TO seek laudable fame by endowing
1t, for example, with one of those
princely requests which have so often
of late years brought obscure and far
less deserving institutions into prOmi-
hence. 1t is true, as DR.. Vvnable
states, that $4,000 have been given to
the University during his four years
incumbency, and $500, 900 since the re-
establishment in 1875; but in these
days of concentrated wealth. that is q
pitiful sum.
Here is an unequalled field for the
generosity of millionaires. Who will
grasp the opportunity to enrich it, and
immeasurably bless the cause of edu-
cation thereby?
