The Price of Cotton.
Mr.. S, H. Hobbs, of Sampson coun-
ty. was called upon and spoke in the
interest of best prices for cotton. He
urged the warehouse system and the
marketing of the cotton graduauy-
and not to glut- the market during
three or four months Of the year. The
mill men can, by their admissions.
afford TO pay Is cents for cotton and
the only reason they 10 not is because
the farmers do not make an earnest
effort to get it.
DR.. j. NJ. TempletOn. Of Wake
county, made a very earnest and Wig
orous speech, urging more thorough
organization for the purpos of get
ting better prices for the great South
ern staple. The farmers should stand
together for their rights and demand
better prices for their produce and
credit for all they accomplish in the
great wave Of progress that IS sweep
ing Our country. When farmers move
towards an organization the great poll
iticians and frenzied financiers begin
to cry out Danger but it is all right
for the high fnanciers to sit in their
offices and cliN coupons of rich invest
ments while the farmers pillow on and
kets for cotton and this with proper
handling of cotton through organ
ization. Curtailment of acreage is the
wrong policy except in extreme condi-
tons.

plause at the close OF his speech. 3

The board Of trustees Of the Indus

coed Prof. A. A. Kincannon, who re-
signed to accept the presidency of the

In the celebrated lumber rate case
that the common carriers would set
tie with the lumbermen are preparing
a big batch Of suits to be fled for the
recovery Of the excessive charges col
lected by the corporation. The de-
clarations have been drafted by attor-
neys and are in readiness to be plae-
ed on record.
This precaution is taken because of
the fact that the statute Of limitations
In the Hepburn bill would become OPP
erative on these claims after June
%, and the lumbermen do not intend
to be caught mapping. It is still be-
ieved that the railroads will agree
to pay over to the lumbermen of
Mississippi and Louisiana the sum
total Of the claims about $12,000,-
without requiring complaints to
enforce collection through the courts,
but the attorneys deemed tia wise
precaution to have the suits in read

tons are not made.

This man that made mirth for us
all?
Proves death but q silence hereafter.
Where the echoes Of earth cannot
Once closed, have the lips no more
duty,
No more pleasure the exquisite
ears?
Has the heart done o'erfiowing with
beauty,
As the eyes have with tears?
Nay. If aught be sure, what can be
surer
Than that earth's good decays not
with earth?
And of all the hearts springs none
are purer
That the springs of the fountains
of mirth.
He that sounds them has pierced the
hearts hollows,
The places where tears are aal
sleep;
For the foam-fakes that dance in
life's shadows
! Are wrung from life's deep.
He came with heart full of gladness
From the glad-hearted world of
the West,
Won our laughter, but not with mere
madness,
Spake and joked with us, not in
mere jest;
Cor the man in our heart fingered
after,
When the merriment died from
our ears,
And those who were loudest in
laughter
Are silent in tears.
