CATAwBA FARMERS PROGRESSIVE

Hickory. Although Catawba County
does not produce as breat bulk OF cot
ton as some of the other counties OF
the State, with a great many of the
farmers it is the principal money
crop, and with some of the larger far
.mers whose crops are more diversified
It Constitutes a ranking crop when the
value of it is taken into consideration.
Catawba farmers are starting move
ment looking to the establishment of
a bounded warehouse for the storing
of the cotton raised in. the county.
At meeting of representative Tar
mers, business men and bankers and
held here the matter was
discussed quite freely from the var1-
Gus standpoints, including the cost or
storing, the number of Wales likely to
be stored, location of warehouse,
character of buildings and means by
which the farmer could secure an ad-
vance on his cotton. A. G. Shuford.

mers of the county for several weeks

tv of having a warehouse, was present

would take advantage of the warehouse
II they were given an opportunity and
many of them, he believed would take
stock in such an undertaking.

call attention to your readers, how
readily the Russellites will undertake
to demagogue simple readers into
thinking That the European war came
about in response to, or in accordance
with the prophetic stuff put forth by
that crowd for a number of years.
Why they have also said that the
"fulfllment of time" the resurrection
n easnts. ana the second coming of
Christ took place from 1874 to about
1881. Ask them to show you some
,,-gn Oh IesurTecLeu saints, ana a re-
turned Christ, more than at any other
rln1e. Let this writer tell them just
how Christendom will be overthrow
in 1914. Whenever this cruel Europe
an war is over and the slain dead are
buried and the people return to peace
tul arts again, then the Churches Of
the world, just as they are now,
(Christendom) will become revived, as
they never were before since the days
OF Christ, and their work will go on
as before and the readers of the
Democrat will never realize that any
thing ever happened from Russell's
OF October, 1914. This writer will be
willing for his name to go down to the
grave in infamy, if what he has said
above does not prove to be true.
"Christendom" is no more responsible
for this war than is "Russelldom.'

SAW MILLS TAKING A REST.
(The Sanford Express.

Nearly all the saw mills in this sec
ton of the State have closed down for
an indefinite period of time. The sup
ply of lumber on hand around these
mills is greater than the demand and
they could not continue to run save at
an expense. The lumber market had
been dull for some time but the wal
scare knocked the bottom out of it.
