son, of Maxton. Mr.. Knapp
explained the cooperative de-
monstration work and made an
excellent talk, which will be !!
more fully noted in a subsequent
issue. And for a subsequent is
sue must also be held more than
passing mention of the talks
made by DR.. Alexander, of Neck
lenburg county, president of the
State Farmers Union, who spoke
on Living at Homeland was in
troduced by President W. Cobb,
of the County Union; Prof. R. |.
Smith, of the A. &. M. College,
Raleigh. introduced by Mr.. R. G.
Lawrence, of Lumberton; and
Maj. A. J. McKinnon, Of Max
ton, president of the North Caro-
lima Division of the Cotton Asso-
citation, introduced by Mr.. E. J.
Britt, of Lumberton.
The last speakers on the pro-
gramme were at disadvantage,
for the crowd had been listening
to speeches since 1890 o'clock,
it was then considerably after 4
O'Clock, and there had been no
intermission for dinner. Against
the clamor each one felt for
something to sustain the inner
man, no speaker would have had
much chance along toward the
last, so the last speakers cut
their remarks short. But each
had some message, something to
say, and the remarks Of each
will be noted in Mondays paper.
At the conclusion of Pres.
Alexander's address Supt. r. E.
Sentelle,of theLumberton graded

ing Of prizes, as follows:
