IJLETLLMENT OF EDWARD At
KINSON'S PROPHECY NEAR
AT HAND.

There was a day When cotton seed
were neglected and despised, and that
has not been SO very long ago. After
the cotton a been ginnei the cotton
seed were dumped in a corner aud
allowed to rot, and some Of them
were used as fertilizers, and the pa
ance, except such as were saved or
next years seed, went to waste. The
South itself was the most astonished
part Of. the count when one day
Edward Atkinson, the famous chem It
of Boston, came out in a statement
saying the day is not far distant
when the South will receive more
every year for its cotton seed than it
Q receives for its whole cotton
crop That seemed a rash ani
foolish prophecy to cotton farmers,
garded as a negligible product. The
prophecy has not yet been fulfilled
to the letter, but people have q1:t
talking about cotton seed as if they
were a by-product and now call it Air.
Cotton Seed and take off their has
when they come into its presence, and
in many homes in this country ard
in Europe people who would scorn to
use cotton seed in place of olive ell
do SO without knowing it.
Next to, Edward Atkinson's faith IN
cotton-seed is the recent tribute 70 t
by DR.. Wiley, the pure food expert.
He has devoted his life to searching
for pure food products, and theref,-e
what he says is entitled to more
weight that what any other man in
America says on the subject. AS a
result of his investigation and loo 1i1g
for pure food, he has become an
earnest advocate of the use of cotton
seed oil for salads and for cooking
purposes. He tells the people nat
they viii nave better health and they
will live longer if they will eat more

e LAKE.

There has always been more or less
mystery and speculation about mat
magnificent body of water in the MO
die of HYDE County known as Malta
muskee, Lake. Nobody Know the
origin of that lake, though traditioh
has come down that the Indians
started a fire that got beyond their
control and it burned out this Dig
hole in the ground, when was iui
Of peet. and made the lake. 1t Is 100
shallow for commerce, and several
years ago its people had the land un-
derneath the water analysed n
found that it was exceedingly .1ertile,
and then they determined to drain
the land and sell it for agricultural
purposes.
When the drainage expert, Patrick
Mathews. gave his report he SAID.
Il believe that there is an under
current and springs in this lake as
there is in all parts of the country,
and from what / hear there is prob
ably water from the sound that perco-
lates through that porous soil into
the lake."
Elsewhere is printed a letter from
Messrs. Mann & Jones, a leading law
firm Of Hyde County, in which they
give a state of facts Which nus
them TO think that the civil engineer
was wrong. The continued drought
his year has given opportunity for
knowing more about the lake than
heretofore. For at least one-half of
the year the bottom Of the axe has
been exposed by evaporation Of the
water. These gentlemen say that
there has been no evidence of a sub
%terranean spring or under-current n
that there has been no Indication Of
percolation Of Sound water in the
lake"
This would seem to indicate that
the drainage of the lake would be
much easier and less expensive than
Mr.. Mathews thought. They also
make a statement which is of high
est Importance, and seems to bear
the statement of the first expert
to recommend the drainage Of Mat
tamuskeet Lake. He told the people
Of Hyde that the soil was very fertile,
and that was one of the many causes
for draining the lake. Messrs. Mann
& Jones now say that the soil that
has been exposed by evaporation has
been pronounced by experienced
agricultura1ists as u~nexcelled," and
therefore their faith in the drainage
Of the lake has been strengthened by
the developments.

Tba animal of the Farm
er's Union. now the biggest farm
ers organization in the South, Is III
session this week in Okia-
boma. the center Of one of the richest
AGRICULTURAL sections in America. All
Of the members of the farmers or
carnations throughout the country
are deeply interested in its proceed
ings and utterances. IN
today's paper will be found the ad-
dress of President Charles S. Barrett.
It will interest not only members or
farmers organizations, but all others
touch all of the people who live III
agricultural sections. President Bar
rett says hat the chief need OF the
Farmers Union is mot remedies, but
leaders. We do not need prescrlp-
tons. we need doctors to see that the
patients take the prescriptions n
keep on taking them This leads
up to the discussion Of the great I'M
portance Of leadership in every large
organization and Mr.. Barrett takes
occasion to discuss other farmers or
g~anizations and to trace their in
elorious Deaths" Discussing the
Farmers Alliance, he asked why 1t lost
Its mighty power that once MADE the
nation tremble. His answer was Sci
fish leadership, cowardly leadership,
- - - o1nrchiv This
answer will be n that all OF the
good members of the Alliance IN
North Carolina will approve. THAI
organization embraced in its mem
bership thousands Of the most pa
triotic men in North Carolina, who
were greatly disappointed when cor
rupt and selfish leadership, sought to
make it the agency for restoration Of
Republican rule in North Carolina. It
succeeded to such a large extent as to
drive out most of the good members
Of the order and to kill all of it's pow
ers for good.
Mr.. Barrett does not wish to see
the Farmers Union go the same way,
and he does we'll to warn the men-
bers Of the Union against the lion
that has beer in the path in every
farmers organization since time be-
gan.
The big thing with the Farmers
Union, according to President Bar
rett, is ito secure scientific, profita-
bic marketing Of the products of the
farmer He adds that he believes
in good roads, swamp drainage, but
the member Of this organization IS
paying his money for mcn who can
develop with force and skill and place
his products on the market at equit-
able prices" He emphasizes and tells
the farmers hat they can not succeed
in securing adequate prices for their
crops>if the individual farmer says
Il will market my crops as I see fit,
IND let my neighbor follow orders"

NORTH CAROLINA FIRST At

primacy in war and in peace are m
Vlted to read carefully the interview

contracted the habit OF being trst

courage were needed or REQUIRED.
The embattled farmers at NeckIen-
burg declared their freedom from
Great Britain when the other peo-
pie We're busy debating how far the

The claim does not reflect upon the
bravery or courage of the splendid

SIDE by side, and. as to the first man
killed at Bethel, Virginia shares
equally in his glory. for Wyatt was
born at Richmond and it was Vir-
glnla blood that was shed at Bethel.

NO doubt some of our South Caro-
lima friends, who insist that Andrew
is a South CaroIInian because
his mother moved there when he was
a few days old, and some Of our
Nirglnia friends, who are unwilling
to admit that they are a little slower
than the Tar Heels. will rake up
some tradition to disprove his simple
and true inscription on the monument
of a modest CasWell county soldier
