Currie, N. c., July Is, 1909.
Owing to the floods and storms of
last year we did not appeal to the
good women of Pender county to
bring dinner to the Moore's Creek
celebration, and many persons did not
do so. This year we expect at least
5000 people to be present, and we
hope that every family in the county
who attends will bring dinner.
Let us maintain our generous and
patriotic reputation, making this free
dinner famous and at the same time
show our appreciation for the heroic
acts of our brave ferefathers.
Let it be known throughout the
country that the Moore's Creek Battle
Ground Association is the first patri-
otic association in the United States
to honor woman in permanent and
perpetual manner as a potent factor
in war;.
Pender county should feel proud te
claim within her borders this historic

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS MEET.
The Negro Element Plays No Part i'm
the Convention This Year.

Newport News, Va, July 2s.-The
Republican state convention to name
candidates for governor and other
state officers to be voted for at the
election next November was called to
order here shortly after eleven
opening addresses, roll call and ap-
pointment of the necessary commit
tees recess was taken to give the
committees time to complete their
work.
The negro element plays no part in
ering promises to be harmonious
throughout. The party is united in
its desire to select the hest ulan avail
able to head the ticket. Several can
didates are in the field, and the ulti-
mate choice cannot be foretold with
certainty.
That the question of prohibition
will be made the chief issue of the
fall campaign seems certain. The Re
publican convention is expected to
adopt a platform advocating state
wide prohibition in opposition to the
stand which the Democrats are ex-
pected to take in support of local op-
ton. Alleged extravaganza in the
administration of the affairs of the
state will be condemned, demand
will be made for the election of public
| school superintendent by popular
vote and other state issues will bt
dealt with in vigorous fashion. Ths
platform will also include a hearty
| Endorsement of the Taft administra
tion.

FARMERS HAPPY OUT WEST.
Big Crops in Southeastern Kansas
Are Assured.

w. G. Hubbard, the pastor of the
Friends Church in Goldsboro, has
brother who is farmer and real es-
tate dealer in southeastern Kansas.
We give herewith an extract from
letter Mr.. Hubbard has received from
his Kansas brother, that will interest
our farmer friends:
81 am pleased to inform you that
wheat thrashing has been going on
for some time here and the farmers
are piling their wheat into the eIeva-
tors and receiving 81 per bushel for
it.
Zone farmer near this city has
thrashed $2,1OO worth of wheat and
sold $1,000 worth of it and got the
cash.
"Other farmers are doing likewise.
zone renter, personal acquaint-
ance of mine near here, will this year
lay by enough money from his crop
on 22O acres of land which he is
farming to buy pretty good farm of
his own.
t"The harvesting of oats has been
done for some time, and the thrashine
will begin promptly. Oats and wheat
are both of them of fine, plump
quality.
''On Roseland, our own farm, we
have the best oats that we have raised
for a long series of years, well filled
and fine in all respects A sample of
these oats hanging in my Office meas
ures four feet nine inches high.
"Corn is a fine prospect. The more
advanced corn is about eight feet tall
and beginning to tassel and silk. If
the season remains favorable till time
for corn to mature, l hope to raise
from seventy-five to eighty bushels
per acre on Roseland.
"The second cutting of alfalfa has
third crop is growing. Timothy and
clover have been made and put away
in mows or in stacks.
Some of the timothy on Roseland
measures five feet tall. Meadows of
mixed timothy and clover in some
eases are HIdhIuS IIOLi lWO " IuI0S
tons per acre of fine hay.
''The second cutting of alfalfa on
the creek and river bottom is about
three feet high. The second cutting
of alfalfa on Roseland (upland) is
part of it two feet nine inches high.
Irish potatoes are great crop and
are ripe and ready to be dug so that
the second crop can be planted within
a week or ten days and mature anoth-
er crop of potatoes before cold
weather
Native prairie grass is a very
heavy crop.
81 have fattened and sold off from
Roseland during the year just passed
about $4,000 worth of livestock.
"All sorts of vegetables and garden
truck are a most luxuriant and abun-
dant crop. Sweet corn is now just
coming into roasting ears and we
will have it on our tables within a
few days.
Trusting your people will be able
to appreciate a chance of owning a
farm in such splendid agricultural
country, I am

Baltimore, July %, 1909.
To the President,
Washington, d. c.:
If it be true, as claimed by many
papers, that you are seeking to influ-
ence tariff legislation in favor of free
iron ore, coal, lumber, ETC., beg to
suggest the following for your consid-
Grafton:
The South, so long handicapped by
the financial difficulties following the
war and by adverse legislation, has in
recent years, under existing tariff pol
icy, been making great industrial
progress. Its prosperity is now seri-
ously threatened by tariff legislation.
1t asks for no favors not granted to
other sections, but it earnestly pro-
tests at being sacrificed for the bene-
fit Of special interests in other sec
tions. 1t is producer of things erro-
neously called raw materials, such as
iron ore, coal, lumber, etc. To the
miners of ore and coal and the tim
Der men their output is as much the
product of labor as is the steel rail or
the watch spring. The South has "a
right to ask that what it produces
should receive the same measure of
protection as given to the products of
other sections. There is as much rea-
son for making free textile machinery
for the benefit of Southern cotton
mills, free steel rails for the benefit of
railroads, as there is for making free
iron ore for the benefit of the rail
mills and the textile machinery build
ers. Does not fairness to all sections
and to all people of the United States
demand equality in protection, that
one section should not be sacrificed to
enrich special interests in others?
With vast stores or ore reaching
into billions of tons awaiting utiliza-
ton; with three times as much coal
as Great Britain, Germany and France
available for development; with near
ly one-half of the standing timber in
the United States, the South has re-
sources enough for an Industrial de-
velopment greater than that of the
whole country today to it's own en-
what avail are these treasures, of
what value to the South or to the
country at large if unutilized, and if
their further development is to be
halted by the free Importation of such
materials mined or manufactured by
labor receiving only pittance COM
pared with the wages paid in this
country? If the South is forced by
adverse tariff legislation to meet this
pauper labor of foreign competition, it
can only do so by forcing down the
prices of its own labor to the almost
starvation wages of foreign ore and
coal miners.
Under the drawback provision of the
tariff such so-called raw materials as
enter into the manufacture of goods
exported have been admitted virtually
free of duty. That drawback has been
an injustice to producers of such ma
terial in this country, but that injus-
tice is as nothing compared with the
injustice of admitting free of duty
| these so-called raw materials while
! maintaining duties upon the products
| in the manufacture of which they are
used Justice demands that either q
protective tariff should protect all, OF
that there should be no protective
| tariff

"Shan the Children Go OFF to school9 9''

Progressive Farmer.
Are you hesitating, wavering, unde-
cided about sending John or Mary to
high school or college this fall? Hesi-
tate no longer. The course in college
or in the high school may double
your sons or your daughters earning
her breadth of vision and a noble
ness of purpose which could never
have come without it.
There might be such a thing as a
people making too lavish expenditure
for school training; but we in the
South have never yet been guilty of
that offense. We may have spent un-
wisely, but that is a very different
matter. There are, no doubt, cases
where father and mother have placed
too heavy burdens on themselves to
send the children to college; but
there is, in the unwisest of such in
stances, worthy, even if misguided,
spirit of heroism; and for every such
case there are hundred cases where
the parents have failed to do enough.
either from false notions of economy
or because their own ignorance was
so dense that they could not even
comprehend the advantages of educa-
tion for others-most piteous tragedy
of all where darkness thus perpetu-
ates itself and never even knows the
light! epAs
VIE believe in training every child
to help himself, in trying to inspire
him with the desire for an education
and then in letting him help pay for
it. We would not for one minute ad-
wise any father to wear himself out to
send his boys to college or high
school and give them a good time
| but wherever the young man or the
young woman has a real desire fol
| knowledge and makes an earnest eff
| fort to attain it, the parents can well
afford to make sacrifices, if necessary
to crafty that desire and realize thai
effort. -
Yes, send the boy or girl to the col
| lege or high school. We sometimes
hear great deal about the rare mel
| and women who in their eagerness tx
i accomplish things overcome all thu
1 obstacles which the lack of educa
| tional advantages placed in their patl
and went on to usefulness and sue
cess. Such stories are ever inspiring
but to conclude from them that tn
advantages offered by the well-order
ed training of the schools is of small
consequence, is an altogether unwar
ranted conclusion. No one can tel
how much more such man Nigh
have accomplished if he had had tn
advantages of high school, college
and university; and while the fey
strong, indomitable souls may be abl
to overcome the handicaps of ignor
ance and undisciplined thought, re
member that for thousands of other
these same handicaps have meant de
feat in the race of life-unrealize
ambitions and unfruitfuI labors.
Cross the Rubicon, make the deci
sion, about your boy or girl if he o
she is really eager for the advantage
of an education and willing to do hi
or her part in getting it: that shoul
be the only test.
