HOW OLD ARE You7

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, es
tinates that he is 40 years old
That Is to say. he estimates tn.
length OF his life by the amount OF en-
ergy he has put into his lies work.

timated, compared with the results OF
the average mans life Edison Is LOO
or even 10000 years old He has pro
duced that much more than most men

How old are you, measured by that

Philip James Bailey has put the

COME OVER AND HELP US.

A prominent Republican farmer in
an Eastern tobacco county said a few
DAYS ago.: 1.-The News and Observer
is doing more than all the other pa
pers in the State for the farmers. and
if l keep on reading it Che is a sub
scriber) I will become a Democrat
That is what he ought to be. In
Congress-, the Republicans mad a
tariff that. robs the farmer and gives
him nothing. In the Legislature,
while a majority of the Democrats
voted for effective antitrust legisla-
ton, every Republican except one
voted with the trusts. Some Demo-
Gratis failed to measure up to Demo-
cratic doctrine in both House and
Senate, in some particular instance,
but they voted right most of the time,
Whereas, with a very few exceptions,
all Republicans in State and Federal
Legislative bodies voted h a the trusts
might continue to exploit the farmers.
The Democratic doors stand wide
open to every Republican who is OPP
posed to special privilege and trust
rule. Come in and help us to
strengthen the only party from whom
help can possibly come.

MAKE 1T HOT!

The tobacco trust is beginning to
hear the roar Of the thunder Of the
indignation of the people. The Wilson
Times says prices Of tobacco were
some better, the range today being
from 4 to Is cents" Please give us
the number of pounds sold at 5 cents
and less and the number of pounds
over 10 cents. If the people show
their indignation, the trust NAV real
ize that 1t is neither safe nor prudent
to rob the farmers to the bone and
may De forced to let prices advance a
little. Make it hot for the trusts!

DRIVING FARMERS TO THE WALL.

With Roosevelt in Africa, four trust
lawyers in the cabinet. and an innocr.
Gus antitrust law in North Carolina
to take the tobacco farmers crop this
year at starvation prices. h leads
the G%reenville Reflector to say:
The present price of tobacco ought
to convince the farmers that it would
pay them far better to raise less of
it and put more acres in food crops.
1t is hard to break them from the
habit of raising the so-cailed money
crops, but when the money deriveds
therefrom is not enough to cover the
expense Of making the crop, it is time
for a change" !.
This is good advice and the ONLY
advice worth anything, if we are to lie
down and permit the Tobacco Trust
to be bigger han the State and the
tobacco business and fixes prices at its
own sweet will. When it fears prose-
cution, it seeks to lessen popular re-
sentiment by putting up the price for
awhile. Then when the storm blows
over, it recoups by paying starvation
prices for the weed.
The farmer whose land is best adapt-
ed to the cultivation of tobacco. who
has invested money in barns and i'm
plements for it's curing, who has the
help trained in the production and
curing Of the weed, is in a very bad
position when he is told: THE to-
bacco trust will pay only starvation
wages. Abandon your Investment, let
equipment rot, and grow crops
hat do not pay SO we'll"
That is the advice-the good ad-
all must give as long as the
People are slaves and the Trust is
master.

PRESIDENT SPEIGHT..

The State Farmers Alliance was
wise in selecting Dr.. r. H. Speight, Of
Edgecombe, as its president. DR..
Speight is a fine type of the country
physician, farmer, legislator. He is
one of the States best physicians in
city or~country, and illustrates the
truth that to find ability in North Car
Dina you do not have to go to own
He is "a successful farmer and has
done much to give Edgecombe its
high place as a leader in agriculture.
Not in a quarter Of a century has
Edgecombe sent a more useful, capa-
BILE legislator to the State Senate. If
the pestiferous politicians Of the self
seeking school had not in the early
%nineties obtained too much power in
the Alliance that great organization
would have been tenfor more useful
to- the farmers. All the time DR..
Speight has kept the rudder true
and has never followed false gods. It
is to such leaders hat the farmers
must look.

About seventy-five. thousand pounds
of tobacco We're sold on the local
market today. The general tone Of
the market was frSner and prices
were inclined to- take an upward
trend,H says the Kinston Free Press.
Will the Free Press be a little more
specific? It is gratifying to read
that prices were inclined to take an
upward trend but the question is
did they take an upward trend 2" and
how c How much tobacco was
sold respectively at 3, 4, 5 and 6 cents,
n now many pounds at ten cents
and over? h is the sort Of infor-
nation that the tobacco growers and
the public needs to ascertain exactly
how much the tobacco trust is OBJ

RoBBING TOBACCO FARMERS

eff you pass q radical antitrust bill
you will hurt the tobacco farmers"
was the cry whe the Legislature was
considering whether to merely amend
the innocuous law of 1907 or pass a
strong law patterned after the Texas
law. The result was that nothing
radical was done. h Soft Soap
ers'' had their way and h tobacco
trust was happy.
SO far how has it affected the farm
ers? They are getting
prices for the tobacco that has been
sold this month";, though some people
continue to tell US that fairly salts
factory prices are being paid the farm
ers." The following private letter
from a we'll posted tobacco man in
one of the best tobacco towns in East
ern North Carolina gives the situation
as it is:
Every one in this community that
is not controlled by the trusts is
fully in accord with you and your
views on what you say about prices
for tobacco. The prices are not fairly
satisfactory by any means. You can
not find a Single farmer who is salts
fled with prices. You are eternally
right in exposing this wholesale
stealage. I suppo there was about
$4,000 pounds of tobacco sold here
today. There was not as much as
1000 pounds that brought 10 cents,
and not 100 pounds that brought over
10 cents. The sales are not averaging
over $3.50 per hundred at the outside.
I have made it nay business to look
into these averages, and can prove the
average has not been over $3.50 for
all the tobacco sold here since August
End. You cannot find a single farm.
er who is fairly satisfied and this
applies to all the Eastern markets"
The farmers and the tobacco towns
ought to organize a p~eaceable and Wig
orous rebellion against this robbery,
and serve notice on the tobacco trust
that a legal method will be found to
end their taking the toll of "a whole
year for no profit. The only thing
that will give better prices is to build
a fire. of popular protest and %indigna-
ton under the cOmplacent trust mag
mates who bask in luxury greater than
Rome ever knew while the people,
whose lands God has adapted to Gull
tivating tobacco. are made hewers OF
new masters who think they were born
b~ooted~and sDurred to ride on the
backs of the tillers of the soil. :
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1909-08-17

bacco towns nearly all say "a large
quantity Of tobacco was sold at prices
satisfactory to the farmers" Some put
the word "entirely,' and others fair
ly" before the word satisfactory.
These are stereotyped words, which
most town-boomers began to use when
markets first opened. It now simply
fed with the price paid in this town
as in any other. for the trust is pay
ing starvation prices now in all the
towns.

Seventy thousand pounds of tobacco

Seventy thousand pounds Of tobacco
were sold in one tobacco town one
day asst week and it brought not quite
$4,000. Think Of that, We who believe
the ObaccO trust desires to pay fair
prices. The average was less tina
four cents a pound. Kentucky farm
ers last year got twenty cents a pound
for all their accumulated tobacco.
