COUNTY COTTON GROWERS.
Meeting Of County Association Yes
terday-Resolve to Stand For
Eleven Cents for Thirty
Days.

|. The Cotton Growers Association
held its meeting yesterday IN the
court house. There was not as full
attendance as was desired and keen
regret was felt at the absence Of
J President T. D. Smith who was ex-
pec1ed to be on hand and make an
address,
President Hunter suggested that
in order tc make the organization
more effective for good to the men,
bers that a more thorough organiza-
ton should be perfected throughout
the county. Lukewarmness on the part
of even those who have been appoint
ed to perform certain work has Grip
pied the effectiveness Of the society.
Rev. J. A. Sigh made some remarks
along this same line and urged. the
farmers to rally to the standard Of the
organization that they may reap
greater benefits from it, He further
said if this organization fails it will
be the fault of the farmers themselves,
that the bankers, the business men
throughout the country were in SYM
pathy with us in this grand work, and
if we fail the blame can be rightly
laid 70 the door of every lukewarrn
farmer in the county. Spectators
are daily Fleeing the farmers and the
pity is the farmers themselves are to
blame because they will NOT sufficient
ly organize and meet organization
with organization. The farmers seem
Indifferent to their fate Look at the
results accomplished even with an i'm
perfect organization in holding COT
ton above ten cents when if it were
not for this very organization cot
ton would drop Immediately to eight
or may be to six cents. What wouM
it be if we were thoroughly organized
so as to meet the fleecings of those
who are growing rich on the hard
labors of the farmers.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone made spirited
ak along the same lines and so did
some others. After free interchange
of thoughts and experiences it was
on motion unanimously decided to
hold cotton to the eleven cents price
for the next thirty days or until an
other meeting Of the association. This
was carried by a rising vote.

heart and soul were in this great work
that nothing rejoices his heart more
than the fact that SO many OF Our
Young men and young women are
taking advantage Of this college anc
schools all over the country to &C.
ouire an education. For this means
they are striving for a higher and a
better work in life, which are to be
found in an educated mind and cul-
tured intellect
Rev. w. Hayne Leavell
was surprised and delighted at the
large attendance, so different to the
time forty years ago when he had
attended the college. Mr.. Leavel1 in
beautiful language gave some delight
full "reminiscences of his college days,
days spent with the fathers and grand
fathers of some of the young men
and young women before him. Co.
education shows you are brave young
men for in his day he did not
think he and his fellow students
their fathers-would have been brave
enough to stand such ordeals as re-
citing in the class with young ladies.
Mr.. Leavell then admonished the STU
dents before him that life to be Of
any value must give out something,
not self centered. It does not matter
how much education you receive, how
much influence you win, it would not
be worth anything to you and the
world unless you give out something.
Do something, dare something, it is
better to give than to receive.
Rev. w. H. Greever
brought the sympathy OF every Luth-
eran in our southland and rejolced
that every school notes All increase
in attendance, showing wider work,
a better and more general influence
for good, these exercices reminded
the speaker of his first day at college.
He gave as a piece of advice to the
young student body-if he had 70 go
over his school life again-he would
eeneralize more in his work-would
make broad and general his study
and then he would be thorough in
his work. If you make your training
broad and general you will avoid mar
rowness; if you make it thorough you
avoid superficiality, the bane of the
world to day.

Rallv Day At Presbyterian Church

Rally Day At Presbyterian Church.
Rally services were held at the
Presbyterian church on last Sunday
night when the children of the Sum
day school held interesting exercises.
DR.. w. E. Pelham is superintendent
and handled the programme with ease
and efficiency. The music by the
choir was appropriate and charmingly
rendered. The address was made by
Rev. w. Hayne Leavell, D. D., in
which he urged the school and the
members OF the church to read and
study the Scriptures more earnestly
and diligently. He said he has been
amazed and shamed at the ignorance
of the average church member-not
to say anything of those from whom
we would not expect it-about the
Bible. In charming language but in
terms that were so simple that child
could understand him, he depicted th''
marvellous beauties and richness OF
the Bible, in biography, in poetry, in
dramatic incidents, in historical por-
traiture, in profound scholarships, as OF
St. Paul, the great logician and schol-
ar. in delineation Of beautiful char
acter, as of Ruth, of the intensely in
teresting life of David, rising from
humble parentage to the throne OF
his people-a man after Gods own
heart
DR.. Leavell's address was short buf
was delightful, delivered with that
ease and grace so characteristic OF the
speaker
The reports from the various Off
GERS OF the Sunday school were inter-
esting and encouraging.
DR.. Pelham, the wide-awake super
intendent in behalf Of the school re-
turned thanks to the large audience
for their presence and interest IN
these exercises. He urged every one
connected with the school 70 re-
doubled efforts to increase the et-
ficiency Of the school. He announc-
ed that he would shortly establish the
Cradle Roll Experimentation paren-
thetically remarked that by diligen'
investigation he could enroll but two
at present. He will also push more
vigorously the Home Department
now under the eiiicicn; direction Of

A NOTABLE OCCASION.

One of the most important events OF
the year in North Carolina will be the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the formation of Harnett county on
the third of August at Ellington. A
committee of representative men from
every township in the county has been
appointed To take the matter in hand
and they will make it an event of his
toricaI interest as we'll as a delightful
reunion.
Fifty years and more ago the matter
of the establishment of Harnett county
was so important a question that poll
ticians i'm Wake and in Cumberland
lost sleep over it and more than one
of them lost his political life because
he was on the wrong side, During the
fifty years of its existence Harnett has
been impeded i'm progress by the lack
of railroad transportation and diversi-
fed Industries, and its growth Mas
painfully slow until the Atlantic Coast
Line short cut made the progressive
town of Dunn possible. Later the
building of the Cape Fear and North
err and the Raleigh and Southport
gave Harnett excellent railroad adj
vantages The investment of more
than half a million dollars in great
cotton mills at the new town of Duke
has given an impetus TO large section
of the county. The completion of the
Raleigh and Southport road through
Harnett and Cumberland will give
Harne.t railroad advantages equal TO
any county in eastern North Carolina.
Harnett is on the threshold of .
great future in its agricultural, in
dustrial and educational life. Its peo-
pie are alive to the opportunities. they
are united i'm their resolve to see the
county go forward. and they will make
this celebration & red letter day in the
history of the county

Build Up

Neglect and carelessness are the general causes

People never become dangerously sick until
after nature has given them many warnings.

these warnings

Science with its unerring methods of research
has proved that the various organs and tissues of
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long as their nerve supply re-

But II the nerves degenerate or lose power from

Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth University, was the

that the nerve system rules all the bodys health.
The nerves must have food to keep up their
strength. Their food is not the same food that
we usually know.
He sought and found the food that builds up
and restores the nerves-his celery formula, which
has become famous as Paine's Celery Compound
