They are responding in a surprising
way. Why is it that the rural car
riers of North Carolina are so back
ward? Surely it cannot be said that
it is because they are not of sufici-
ent intelligence; neither is it be-
cause they do not see the need of
united action. The real cause is
procrastination. Let me urge every
one of you to get to work to-day and
let's make our State one of the most

More About the Cotton Outlook.

Messrs. Editors Il want to COM
mend the efforts of the farmers all
over the South in their earnest n
deavors to raise the price of cotton.
Farmers were told over and over
that cotton would remain high a year
or two at the least, but just as their
hopes were beginning to be realized,
the slump came and down went all
their great expectations" And, in
deed, laying aside all joking, the
South was in a fair way to become
great through her great staple. Now
every enterprise is PROSTATE, or will
be. All kinds of business is suffer-
ing. When farming is profitable
everything else prospers accordingly.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that
something may be done to better
prices very soon. 1t is not a problem
for farmers alone to grapple, but
for bankers and business men as
we'll. If any people on earth can
stand it, the farmers can; his eggs
are not all in one basket.
