The generous and nroad-minded spirit

the generous and broad-minded spirit
shown by the cotton buyers and the
representatives of the Farmers
Union, alike, indicating a determined
spirit of cooperation and we wish to
suggest that the Farmers Union. at
it's meeting here next week, appoint
a committee to confer with the cotton
buyers and all others Interested, with
a view to carrying out the suSges-
tons already made, and for the pur-
pose of inQujring also into the FEAST
bility of abolishing the weighing
charge and appointing a grader to
represent all parties. The officer Of
the Chamber of commerce will be
glad to assist such a committee and
We hope tha, the meeting just held is
but the beginning of a campaign of
development that will not only di-
rectly help the Raleigh cotton mar
ket, but have a tremendous indirect
influence in insuring even closer and
more cordial relations between our
city and the farmers Of the county,
upon whom the prosperity of Raj
eigh is So largely dependent.
Respectfully Submitted, Clarence
Poe, chairman Commttee on Cotton
and Produce Markets; Henry E.
Litchford, President.

Why Not?

The question is much discussed
among ministers, Why do not more
people so TO church? We wish they
would substitute another question
why do not the churches go to more
people? The question is very effect
lively put in a letter which lies be-
fore us from clergyman. IT was
not written for publication. but We
venture to quote from It without Civ
ing the writer's name.
For years it has been my grow
ing conviction that the church life
of our time is really merely playing
with the great problems il humanity,
We try to build superstructure
that we call moral and spiritual, and
we have not the foundations on
which to build. namely. a clean, pure.
strong. sound physical life. Our
churches ought to be open to every
sort OF instruction and work thai
should insure to every boy and cir
save them from bl1ghting evils. We
ought to open our churches to oui
physicians to help do this work vice
~ and effectively. When such work
is done, then our moral and spiritual
work will have the right foundations
on which to build--and not till then.
For there will always be many homes
where this work is not done by pa
rents, and the churches ought to see
that It Is done. as the very basis OF
all true religious work
