5 don't mind telling you trade

+ by it. Every time we start some
thing new over III Hoke county we
try to tell it to the Observer, the
ii News and Observer, the Star and
/ all the other papers that want to
know what is going on in the State
They can't keep it a secret and
they tell it to their readers and every
few days you notice something ne v
is breaking loose in the sanahils.
don't know whether our section is
any better than yours, but we GO on
1.-THE theory that our section is the
best on earth, and our bird is not
] the American eagle, but the wise
old hen who MAKES a note of the
Occurrence every time she lays an
egg, and alludes to it several times
during the dav, before and after
laying it. We belive in advertising.
1t is useless to enumerate The.
opportunities in North Carolina. We
could accommodate in this State ma
ny million of people. People is what
we lack. We lack people because
the rest Of the country. which, is
supplying settlers for all the United
States and Canada, does not know
| North Carolina. Within the next
year, and nearly every year. mil
lion or more Americans will hunt
new homes. They will not find any
thing better than North Carolina,
but they will 90 elsewhere for
want of knowledge of North
Carolina. You who print papers in
the tobacco belt should get some of
your papers into the hands OF PEG
in the tobacco section OF Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere.
You in the corn counties should
be in touch with people in the corn
country IF the North and West. The
climate of the North and West is
fierce and people are running away
from it constantly. Our climate is one
of our greatest assets and when it is
known what a climate we have
and what other advantages we will
get the people.
We should have an aggressive
publicity bureau in the association.
The Western States spend hundreds
OF dollars to settle their country which
is not half 50 attractive as ours, but
they settle it. and get their money
book in their increased business.
They get marvellous and rapidsfe-
ults. 1t California, with the. hustle
those folks have should unite the
rainfall of North Carolina and the eli
mate to their hustle they would make :
five million bales of~cotton year and
spin it~ On the sandy lands of this
State could be made cotton to clothe
millions of people of Europe if farm
ers were here to use the available
cheap land. The United States
makes fifteen million bales of cotton
a year. The cotton States of the
South constitute the only part of the
globe that make enough cotton to
satisfy its needs. In the United
States we, each one Of US, use an
average of about thirty pounds of cot.
ton year. In most of the world
the average amount of each individ-
ual is not above three pounds. TO
provide the world literally with cot
ton would take crop of a hundred
and fifty million bales a year North {
is the safest cotton State on +,
earth, and raises more to the acre
than any other State. Half the
world has never yet had half the
clothes to be comfortable because
there was never enough. North
Carolina is making more cotton goods
every day, and every day the COM
nerce of the world is expanding into i.
the figures of gigantic importance !
The work is to be done. We need |
more people to do it. AS far as we
Can see we will never reach our limit
IN this State. We have land enough
to stagger our conception. What :
We lack is people. We need to show .
people that anything that can be
done in any section of the United
States can be done to a little better
advantage here, with few excep. :
tons. We can make as good canta-
ouDes as Colorado, and a thousand
miles nearer marker. Yet Rocky
Ford melons are known everywhere !
AID Scotland county melons sell tor
