Governor Kitchin's Welcome.

Governor Kitchin welcomed the
delegates to the Farmers Congress
in an enthusiastic and interesting
address.
Among other things, he said that
a National Farmers Congress can
meet in no more appropriate State
than ours-for we produce in abund-
ance and of finest quality, greater
variety of crops than any other State
in the Union. We compare potatoes
with Maine, berries with Florida,
peaches with California, wheat with
KANSAS, corn with Nebraska, tobac-
co with Kentucky, cotton with Tex
as, and butter with Wisconsin-to
say nothing of oats, hay, apples,
peanuts, melons, grapes, etc.
The State has diversified farming
in all it's wealth and glory, but the
individual farmers of the State have
not yet sufficiently attained that de-
sirable condition, though they are
naturally sa we'll prepared for it as
any people on the globe. However,
annually diversifcation of crops is
increasing, soil conservation is grow
ing, soil improvement is progressing,
methods of cultivation are improv-
ing; in a word, intelligence and sys-
tenn are taking the farms, and the
result is, year after year mans
labor on the farm will be more pro-
ductive and more profitable. While

| it, I am convinced that the safety
of our free institutions and the hap

analysis upon profitable agriculture.
1 do not overlook the blessings OF
other industries, nor underestimate
their essential Importance.
| The enemies of production are
negligence and ignorance. To con-
quer them every bulletin, every ag-
riculture paper, every lecturer, every
gathering of farmers contributes
Each carries information, each in
spires enthusiasm and suggests pru.

end - more profitable agriculture
which means happier homes and
better people Mr.. President, I wei
come this Congress because it rep
resents an industry in our country

FARMERS CONGRESS ENDS.
Remained in Session at Raleigh One
Week-Principal Work and Ad-
dresses

1 uEcSStS.
The twenty-ninth annual meetinj
of the Farmers National Congress
which began its sessions in Raleigl
one week ago to-day (as indicated
by the program printed in the las
issue of The Caucasian) has com
| pleted its labors after a week of in
| teresting work and many valuabl,
instructive meetings.
Foremost among ths number o.
| "big men" of the nation who attend
ed the Congress and spoke to the
delegates was Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson, of Washington (whc
was unfortunately called back to Of
| fetal work before he could make ar
elaborate address. however,.
British ambassador Bryce was the
lion of the day Thursday and his
address before the Congress was
preceded by a great ovation, the del
egates standing while the great
Englishman ascended the rostrum.
Other distinguishing features of the
weeks work included addresses by
President Benehan Cameron, John
Shelton Williams, Governor Kitch-
ms welcome and Prof Paul Bar
ringers response, former Secretary
Hilary Herberts speech, and some
of those made by delegates.
While the number of delegates
was not so great as had been sug-
gested in advance (there being less
than one thousand from other
States than North Carolina), larg-
er number of States were represent
ed at this Congress than at either
Of its twenty-eight previous annual
meetings. There were delegates
present in Raleigh from thirty-seven
States and some of the States like
Ohio and even far-away Iowa sent
forty to fifty delegates each.
The Western and Northern visi-
>rs were charmed with Raleigh and
<orth Carolina, and most of them
expressed astonishment at the won
derful progress and magnificent ex-
hibitions of industrial growth-es-
pecially in cotton and tobacco manu-
featuring, after the delegates had
visited the American Tobacco Com
pany's great plants at Durham and
the Cone cotton manufacturing
plants at Greensboro-which includ
ed the largest smoking tobacco and
cigarette factories in the world and
the biggest denim mill on earth.
And they had right to open their
eyes when they saw these establish
ments No doubt about that.
Ambassador Bryce accompanied
the delegates on these excursions
and made interesting addresses to
the students Of Trinity College, the
State Normal and the State Univer-
sity. He spent Friday night at
Chapel Hill and returned to Wash
ington Saturday, charmed with
North Carolina hospitality and the
States splendid resources and indus
tries and delightful people"
All who met the great diplomat
and most of those who heard his
addresses were equally charmed
with that spelndid specimen of the
Britisher.

his to resign Is sudden"
The matter was not decided until this
afternoon. 1t is more than probable that

consider his decision and to withdraw h s
resignation. He was offered reappo.nt-
