HOW THE EAST AURORA
OIL COMPANY WORKS

Having acquired $500 acres of what we
consider the most valuable oil land in this
region. the next step is to dig for the oil.
Boring oil wells is a big business. To
obtain the necessary capital for this pur-
pose a separate corporation, the East Au-
rora Oil Co., is to be formed.
You may take a $40 interest in this
company. Your friends and neighbors
are invited to come in on the same basis.
Your money and their money and the
money paid in by others from every sec
tion of the United States, will be used to
60 after the oil which we believe lies here
in almost limitless pools.
No one will be allowed to put in more
or less-than $40. No subscriber will have
a greater interest in the company than
yourself. Nc subscriber will have more to
say or have any larger vote-in deciding
as to the affairs of the company.

THAT WE GO FORWARD.

North Carolina is a State that is not standing
still. In this age and time it cannot afford it
if it would. And the finest sign of the spirit Of
progress is that there is being shown by the
farmers Of the State a forward-looking purpose
which has in it that expression of determination
which will not be gainsaid. The truth is that
the North Carolina farmer of this day is making
of himself a force for progress, and if he keeps
at it this good State will become a better State.
The clearing house for this forward move
ment of the farmers of the State is to be found
in the North Carolina Farmers Union, and no
better has this been shown than in the series of
resolutions which were adopted at the annual
meeting Of that organization at Greenville the
past week. These resolutions of public interest.
published in another part Of this paper, have to
do with matters of the greatest Importance to
the State, and they deserve the fullest consider
alton of the people generally.
Consider some Of the measures to which the
Farmers Union give it's support: The State
wide legalized primary: the reduction of cotton
acreage in 1915 to not exceeding fifty per cent
of the cultivated ACREAGE; extending the anti
jug law by means OIL county action looking to
the final passage of a law which will embrace
all the State; the fullest Endorsement of the
Torrens land title law; strong commentator Of
the value Of Community Service Week.; that
attorneys of public service corporations sever
their connection with such corporations before
entering upon public office in which they are
supposed to represent the people and not pri-
vate interests; the establishment as soon as
possible Of a State institution for the help Of
Maynard girls; Improvement in our taxation
system; land segregation between the races;
party conventions at such seasons as will per
init OF the fullest participation Of the farmers.
Such measures as these are among the live
issues Of the day, and that they are being pre-
sen1ed and urged by the farmers means that
IneSe citizens Of North Carolina are forward
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1914-11-24

looking, that their desire is that this State Sc
cure for itself the very best that IS TO be had
For this reason it is timely that the Farmers
Union sets forth to the State the program
which IL endorses. that it may be fully dis
cusSed, AID that all classes OF the people may
be heard as to these matters. Whether one
agrees with ali Of the matters proposed or not,
all must agree that it is a sign of progress for
the State when there are such resolutions
adopted by an organization Of farmers. these
dealing with the large matters OF the future Of
the State. We go forward indeed IN North
Carolina when such a spirit is abroad in this
State. =.

HE is MY FRIEND.
And the Lord spake unto Moses face 20
face. as a man spraketh unto his friend
Exodus 33, II.

4 man may accumulate many posse
sions. Riches and honors and fame may
De his in great abundance. but if he has not
with these things friends he is a poor man
indeed. To have a friend is to have some
thing in excess of oyerfiowing barns and or
great bank deposits. Money will buy many
things, but it will not buy that friendship
which is more precious than all the gold
which comes out of Alaska
Sometimes We think we have friends, and
there are many who call themselves our
friends when prosperity is our companion.
but let prosperity fee from us and the
friends who are bought by it disappear as
does the mist Of the morning before the
rising sun. Such friends are of the spur
ious sort. They do not stand in the crucible
of misfortune. You can't buy the real
brand of friendship. 1t is a thing which
grows with time and when you have found
a real friend keep him as the most pre-
cious thing Of life, grip him to you as with
hooks Of steel; and there is no stronger
steel than love.
There is strength in having a real friend.
but to possess one life must be lived SO as
to deserve friendship. Put this question to
EOufSelI. 10 J. deserve 70 nave IL IIIeNOt
AS / doing the things which will make for
friendship? Am I true and honest and
warm hearted and faithful and worthy?'
To have friends life must be built for
friendship. We must bear and forbear to
come into possession Of the friend worth
while. We must not live a life that alb
serbs all for self without giving forth
things OF help and comfort for others.
And it is so fine a thing to have a real
friend that we should be ready 10 yield up
much to hold on to him.
So build up friendship. That will stand
TO you in stormy days when bank accounts
fail. The grasp of a friends hand. his
CHEEKY words of comfort, will lift you from
the slough of despond when life's skies
grow grey. And the years as they pass will
be the sweeter because you have a true
and tried friend who will not fail when you
need him. You are rich indeed when you
can say of this one and that, and say it in
all sincerity: "He is my friend" Make
your life such that you will deserve friends.

AS a general proposition the use Of checks is
y great convenience, but it will probably be in a
year when November has 81 days that the

do so, will not be able to make use of the check

more than its share of this sort of thing.

North Carolina will be found in the list OF

aid.
The South has suffered by the war in the de-
probation Of the price Of cotton. 1t has been
hit harder than any other section.
But what matters this as compared TO the
sweeping away of everything of the Belgians7
What has come to that brave and gallant race
is a tragedy of the ages.
Raleigh will have the opportunity to help this
day. 1t should seize upon this as a privilege, q
high privilege.
A mass meeting will be held at three o'clock
this afternoon in the Auditorium, this called fer
the purpose OF raising money to aid the Belgian
people. =.

It should be a spirit Of help for those who need
help.
The whole world is akin, should be akin when
there is the call for help. We are neighbors to
the Belgians In the highest sense Of being
neighbours.
There is no question of war in this, there Is
no question of who is right or who is wrong in
this horror of Europe which has stirred the
world. It is a question of help.

country hears that its nationals in another are

Of that country who happen to be within its
