Farmers Planting Wheat
Farmers Union.
To the Editor of The Robesionian:

10 Lne EOltOr O1 Inc hODSSiOnldH
On my arrival home fromRan-
dolph | find that the price of |
cotton is higher and the farmers
are now planting wheat, so much |
so that all my wheat is sold and
gone and more could be sold at
the same price if had it. And
while I am speaking about wheat,
I wish to say that owing to a
want of satisfactory arrange
ments for the erection Of the
wheat mill here, at what is known
as the old Buie mill and now the
Mcneil mill, I will not build
here, if | build one. | may pos
slbly put one up somewhere in
this section, but all my former
plans for such have dropped I'M
til I get satisfactory arrange
ments. However, hope theFarm-
ers' Union will build one some
where near here, as this section
needs one; and a fertilizer estab-
lishment would also do good bus
mess if handled by the Union.
! While passing through my
home counties | he ard much
praise of Mr.. Swanson and his
work organizing new Unions in
Guilford county. If the Farmers
Union is ever to do anything
worth anything to it's mem
bers, it must provide fol-
the economic conveniences Of
the farmers; and to do this there
should be mills, fertilizer facto
ries, and also some good men in
every county to regulate the
prices for cotton as we'll as the
necessaries of life.
In my future contributions t.
your worthy columns | pro
pose a series of educationa
and intellectual articles on tn
''Leisures OF God," and tn
Efficacy of Prayer, provide
you find space for such commun
cations in your paper.
1t has been my greatest pleas
ure during the past to interest
possible those whose moral ter
dency naturally seeks light an
information on subjects thu
lead to a higher plane in tn
moral world rather than a mer
narration of incidents that usua
ly happen in ordinary life.

When a man swears himself into

any sort of testimony. and none Of 1t

But when he swears himself out, he

facts, and moreover must endure the
merciless hammering of crafty law
yers bent on discrediting him.
