The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-07-25

perhaps he might have been the very
man who raised that cotton and sold
it for .O21a and bought it back IN the
shape of a hat for 50; so you see
there is a great margin between the
farmer and manufacturer, though 1t
is important that we should not Grip
pie our home manufactures. we
should all work harmoniously togeth-
er and get rood living out OF our
labors and our products and equally
divide the profit. Then America can
manufacture her own cotton to a
finish and send her finished goods to
the foreign countries instead of her
raw material.
Cotton will be the king of Europe
and the South the queen OF the
country. So brother Alliancemesn
take fresh courage. This can only
come by organization of the wise
heads of the South; then by all
means get our forces in good shape,
and then farming. in the South for
nothing but the pleasure of Europe
will be a day of the past.
Market your cotton as long as 1T
stays from ten to twelve and half,
but Just as soon as it gets below ten
cents stop right off and positively
refuse to sell until some one will see
fit to give you ten cents. which will
always come if it can't be bought for
less.
If you are not a member of some
farmers organization, go at once and
ioin the Farmers Alliance or Cotton
Growers Association and get ready
for the battle and make the South
prosperous and the people will be
happy.

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin.

Cotton is reported quite generally
to be making rank growth. and In the
central-eastern portion is not trult-
in gwell; considerable damage by
shedding of forms and young bolls
also occurred; some rust Is report
ed: in the western portion OF the
State the crop is fruiting well. While
cotton at present appears to have
been considerably damaged, the crop
was generally in such good condition
as regards tillage just before the
rains began that probably few days
of dry weather will show less injury
than anticipated. Upland corn was
beneftede by rain, except where pol
len was washed off from plants just
in bloom, but young lowland corn
was injured nearly everywhere; the
true extent of the damage, however,
cannot yet be ascertained. Tobacco
did fairly we'll on we'll drained land,
but suffered q little on low ground,
where some is taking on second
growth; cutting and curing are now
under way in a number of counties,
but conditions were not favorable
for making good cures during the
past week. Some wheat and oats
still in shock in the west were dam
agde by sprouting. and some uncut
oats were lodged. Peanuts and sweet
potatoes were slightly injured, more
for want of work than otherwise.
Field peas grown for hay are very
thrifty, and many more will be sown.
Melons have suffered from excessive
moisture and are poor in quality. The
wet weather has favored the rapid
development of those fungus growths
which cause the decay of fruit, and
much rotting of peaches. apples and
grapes is reported. Eearly grapes
are ripening.

Election of officers resulted as fol-
lows:
President, Chas. q. Monday of
Asheville, n. c.; Vice e-President 3
W. Scarborough, of Kinston: Secra.
tary, W. A. Williams, of Henderson,
vile; Treasurer, B. 1. Hester of
Creedmoor.
The following delegates were elect
ed to the National Association which
meets in Indianapolis, Ind, Septem-
Der 18th: Messrs. Monday, Ballard
and Scarborough. No instructions
were given the delegates in regard to
the National officers, or any other
matters that may come up at that
time. The Association leaves the
work entirely in their hand.
Adjournment followed, and the
boys proceeded to take in all the
points of interest in and around the
city, and thus the second annual con-
vention of the r. L. @. A. of North
Carolina passed into history.

Meeting of North Carolina Rural Letter
Carriers.

D.
nual convention of the Rural Letter
Carriers Association of North caro-
lima met in the 4. of T. hall, Ashe-
vile, N. c., July 4, 1905. Promptly
at 10 o'clock President Monday call
ed the meeting to order and intro
duced Major w. W. Rollins, who
made the address of welcome. Ma
ior Rollins also presented our or
ganization with a gavel made from
the native rhododendron wood. Ihls
came from the local Association OF
Buncombe County. Secretary Camp
belle and Mr.. Hester responded with
a short speech each to the address OF
welcome.
Regular work was taken up, begin
ming with the secretary's report. The
secretary's report showed seventeen
counties chartered since last meet
ing with a membership of 189. At
our last meeting we only had about
forty members and very. few coun-
ties organized. While our gain does
not show as much as we think 1T
should, yet from a percentage view
it has been very good indeed. Ihe
secretary then went into some de-
tails of his past work which showed
that the work had been particularly
hard, especially so during the last
six months; more than five hundred
letters we're written and mailed out
by the secretary, besides a few news
paper articles sprinkled in. Mr.. May
moved to adopt report; motion sec
onded by Scarborough, put 90 vote
and carried.
The following committee was ap-
| pointed to audit the secretarys
books: Messrs. Hartis, Royster and
Nav. They reported the books cor
rectly kept and in balance. Report
adopted. Messrs. Scarborough, Hes
ter and Campbelle were appointed a
| committee of credentials. They re-
| ported fourteen counties represented
and entitled to vote. Mr.. Hunter
moved to appoint committee OF three
to amend bylaws. Messrs. Miller,
| Hartis and Hester were appointed,
and reported as follows:
| "Article 3, Section 4. The State
Association shall pay the postage OF
the president, secretary and treasur-
er. Each of these shall render an an
nual statement to the Association. l..
Report adopted.
| A letter was read from Mr.. I'll. III.
Windsor of the r. F. D. News en-
couraging the organization in the
work they are undertaking to accom-
plish. A vote of thanks was tender
ed him for his interest in our work
Perhaps, if we had few more such
men as Mr.. Windsor our organiza-
ton would move onward with more
rapid stride. Insurance was dis
cussed from all sides, and the follow,
ing committee was appointed to draw
up some plan of insurance and pre-
} sent same at our next annual meet
) ing: Ballard, Hartis, Scarborough
Hester, Hampton, Monday and Roy
ster compose the committee
Place of meeting was next in or
der. Mr. Hunter extended the As
sociation a very cordial invitation tt
come to Charlotte next year and Mr.
Scarborough put in nomination Kin
ston. After much discussion, vot'
was taken, resulting as follows
; Charlotte 2, Kinston, 13. So the boy
in Kinston may lookout for larg
