FARMERS ARE FIRM
Will Hold Cotton for Fiji
teen Cents a Pound.
With a Few Local Exceptions, Crop in
Eastern North Carolina is rs Per
Cent. Off, and rs Per Cent
Has Been Sold.

Fayetteville, N. c.. Nov. 27th,-
To the Editor: For the past week
have been down through great por-
ton of the cotton growing counties
of the State, and have seen and talk
ed with farmers and business men
from counties not visited: and l find
them almost unanimously in favor of
the Southern Cotton Association s
movement for 15 cents for the bal
ance of this years crop.
They are freely signing the pledges
wherever offered, and many men who
have "scruples" about signing are
determined to hold for the higher
price which is evidently coming.
From the best information obtain
able it is evident thai all the eastern
part of the State, with a few local
exceptions will be off in production
at least twenty-five per cent. The
crop is practically all picked. ginned
and seventy-tiVe per cent. of it sold
already. Now this is no car window
observation" but from close inspec-
ton and the most reliable Informal
ton. | think Mr.. Prices and Mr..
Sec't'y. Wilson's winter crop" will
be an utter failure for this year
Now then, with all the evidence in,
at least sufficiently as, from the en-
tire cotton belt of the South as evil
denced by the recent "GinnerS Re-
port" it is very clear to a reasonable
man that the crop will be in the
neighborhaad of 10000, 900 bales; and
this being SO, the balance of the crop
should bring 3 cents. and it will
bring it, if the spot holders will sim
ply stai. firm. OF course there are
some people who are very much con-
cerned as to the future of the poor
farmers" if prices go too high. but
they need not worry over our future
troubles, for their own future" will
be as much as they can attend to,
without grieving for other people. if
they keep on selling cotton. expecting
it to go down. To the cotton farmers
OF the State | will say that now is
one time that [ believe. they can get
what is coming to them if they will
only demand it.

CATHOLIC ORPHANAGE.
Father Price Thanks the Community
For Its Practical sympathy and
Aid.

Public and Grateful thanks is here
rendered to the Raleigh public and
those outside of the City of Raleigh
for the universal deep and
practical sympathy expressed to us in
regard to the late disastrous fire. The
expressions of sympathy have been so
widespread, that it is almost impos-
sible to individualize. Nevertheless we
cannot refrain from making special
mention of the generous action of the
Raleigh Fire Department, of the Good
Shepherd Church and of Christ
Church, of the Management of the
concert at the Academy of Music, of
the ladies and gentlemen of the Raney
Hall Concert, and of the generous
public who contributed through the
agency of Mr.. Frank Stronach and of
Mr.. A. Du"hi. To all in general and
particular who have striven by kind
" words and kindlier acts to mitigate
the terrible blow that has fallen upon
us, we return the sincereeSt and deep
est gratitude What is appreciated
above and beyond any money value of
the ributions-valuable as 1t is in
our affiiction-iS the universal and I'M
deriving spirit of sympathy and love
in which these contributions were
bestowed. We wish to assure our gen.
erous friends that that spirit is met
on our part and correspondent to in
every particular and In the fullest
manner possible We will add that
whilst the effort will entail on us
great sacrifices, we trust soon to re-
build and better than formerly.

TWO MEN WHO LED.

In an address before the North Car
night, DR.. VIM. E. Dodd. a native of
Wake county who is now a member
of the faculty of Randolph-Macon Col
lege, spoke on What North Carolina
Has Done in the Past Decade to Add
to the Worlds Possessions" 1t was
a thoughtful and carefully prepared
paper DR.. Dodd says that in
1776-17SS North Carolina almost
slavishly followed the teaching and eX-
ample of Virginia" This is putting it
had 70 men in those years whose
leadership was as conspicuous as Vir-
ginians it was true to its own faith,
following Virginia's great leaders, not
"slavishly," but because they voiced
it's sentiments. DIR. Dodd says things
have changed now and that North
Carolina begins to lead her neighbors
both North and South" adding:
I'm 1901 Virginia was decidedly in
fuenced by North Carolina in the
shaping of her fundamental Jaw. 1t
was openly declared in Richmond:
We have heard enough of how they
do things IN North Carolina'-prOof,
indeed of the buoyant vitality of the
State"

change Cor the better in North Caro-
lima to the year 1888 and gives the
credit for it to DR.. Charles d. McIver
they entered upon their duties as
conductors of industries" as the law
designated them, but in reality as
evangels of education. agitators for
civic regeneration. They sowed seeds
that have borne a rich harvest and that
will continue 10 bring forth its IN
crease in all the years to come. or
their work DR.. Dodd said:
THE beginning of this new order of
things is to be seen in the year 1883,
when two young enthusiasts began
their campaign of the Commonwealth
on behalf of a better and more uniVer-
sal education. These two men Travelled
North Carolina from end to end. ad-
dressing public meetings, perSuading
private individuals, inspiring the poor
ly-paid, but earnest. public school
teachers with a zeal which spread like
the prairie fire. They made public
education. the training of all the
children in the schools of the State,
popular; they gave the death-blow TO
that old-faShioned liberalism which
maintained that every man should be
responsible for the training of his
own children: they said that 1t was
every mans duty to contribute to the
cause of education. because through
education alone can the citizen Of
republic be fitted for the high duties
he is called upon TO perform. Up to
that time college authorities had not
been ashamed to oppose public and
general education. Since that time it
is a reflection in North Carolina not to
believe in education for al the people.
The two young men who led in this
fight are happily still living and work
ing in the same cause. One of them is

of Virginia; the other is DR.. Charles

A MORNING TONIC.
(Henry Van Dyke

Remember that charity thinketh no
evil, much less repeats it. There are
two good rules which ought to be
written on every heurt-never believe
anything bad about anybody, unless
you positively know it is true; never
tell even that unless you feel that it
is absolutely necessary and that God
is listening while you tell it.
