IN RE "BUY A BALE"

Without any matter Of argument about It the
proposition that talk is cheap is one which
holds good.
There is always much talk about the depend
ence OF the country on the farmer, that he and
his work are the basis Of our prosperity.
We have heard much in this country about
the interest of all classes in the farmer being
paid a fair price for his crop. 1t is the cotton
farmer who is getting the worst of it because
Of the war in Europe.
NOW
Is it not time to put this talk about the far
mer into deeds? Is it not time for all who can
to get into action to aid the farmer who needs
help right now?
We think so.
Legislation to aid in the cotton situation
situation would naturally be slow. The forma-
ton of big companies to handle the cotton, to
make loans on it, cannot be done in a day.
VIVA THEN?
The answer is plain. 1t is a time for every
man, for every corporation, for all who are to
help. This means help right now.
The 'BUY A BALE OF COTTON plan is a
way to provide an immediate remedy. 1t is a
plan which is sweeping over the country. In
North Carolina we should do our part.
The News and Observer is offering it's services
as a central medium, a clearing house, for the
buying of distress cotton. 1t calls upon all who
are able to join the movement to buy cotton at
ten cents a pound.
This is a work of patriotism in which the
South and it's friends can well engage. The
cotton farmer will be helped, the South will be
helped, every line of business will be helped by
keeping up the price of cotton.
The plan to aid by this movement is easy.
Fill out the blank on the first page Of this
paper, send 5000 a bale for each bale of cot
ton wanted. and this paper will have the trans
action completed by the purchase Of distress
cotton.
The proposition is a safe one, if that is to be
considered. Cotton is sure to sell for ten cents
a pound and over within the year. It's a safe
loan that is being made by every man who now
comes to the aid Of cotton.
The time of talk is over. It's action that's
now the need.

HOW TO GET A BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Berwick, Ga, wants 8 business college.
Mayor Spence. Of that town. thought 1t would
be an easy matter to go out and raise the
money among the public spirited people OF the
place. So he canvassed the town. But he
came home a sadder and a wiser man. The
him it was no time to start anything new, for.
owing to the war in Europe, financial affairs
were in a dreadful condition.
But the Mayor was unconvinced. He felt
no matter if the prospect was that the war was
going to hurt business a little.
He had noticed that there was a good deal Of
talk about the war and about the hard times
talk gave him an idea. Why not make the
calamity howlers pay for the privilege? No
sooner thought than done.
In Berwick accordingly it is twenty-five dol
either the war or general depression. That is,
the fine will be imposed strictly until Berwick
gets its business school. Then the practice of
levying such a fine may be discontinued. SO il
pean conflict they must provide the business
school or, they can talk about the war and wait
: for the fines to build the school. 1t is a bust
ness school or silence on the war.
And this thing Of taxing war talk should be

SIR GILBERT PARKER ON PEACE

Sir Gilbert Parker, in an impaSSiOned state
ment of the differences between Germany and
the Allies, says that this is no time to talk
peace, and in concluding his powerful and strik-
ing argument as published in the New York
World says:
"The Germans meant to march to Paris and
to dictate terms Of peace there. The world
will do we'll to take note that the Allies mean,
if it is in their power, to dictate terms of peace
at Berlin, and if the peace-lOVers Of the world
did not move, and there was no cry for peace
from England or France when Germany was
marching on Paris, then let their voices be
stilled when, if it may be, it is the turn of Rus
STA, France and England to march through
Inter den Linden. England will not be moved
by any cry for peace now
The peace-lovers of the world were just as
Germans would take Paris as they are now.
titanic struggle commenced. But with the Ger
with their evident determination to proceed into
the city and there dictate terms to the Allies
and with no lull in the lighting such as re-
suited "A few weeks later, there was not the
opportunity to suggest peace. Had there been
such opportunity, it is not to be doubted that
President Wilson would have advised that peace
be striven for even then. In, fact, at the very
beginning of the struggle the Willingness of this
country to mediate was made known. There
has been no stage Of the conflict when the peace
loving people Of this hemisphere would not
have gladly moved for peace if only there had
been the way left open by the combatants. TO
that extent we think that Sir Gilbert Parkers
comments on the movement for peace are some
what unjust.

c TO VIRGINIA.

Virginia meets a crisis in it's history tomor-
row. It's electorate will say whether 1t is to
go forward in morality and right living, in
prosperity OF the right kind, or whether it is
to be continued to be tied to the chariot wheels
of the demoralizing liquor traffic.
North Carolina has tried prohibition and it.
has found that it is a good thing for this State.
1t has helped in many ways. The State is bet
ter in material things because of prohibition. it
is better in it's moral life because of prohibition.
From any angle. from every angle, North
Carolina commends to Virginia the cause Of
prohibition. The voters of that State will be
doing the wise thing tomorrow if they vote
liquor out Of the State. BY a great majority it
was voted to drive liquor out of North Carolina,
and If there were an election ordered in this
State upon the question tomorrow that ma
jority would be a greater majority.
- Be wise, Virginians. Vote to rid Your State
Of the curse of the liquor traffic. 1t will prove
for your everlasting good.
