Marketing Cotton

The announcement that the
business men and farmers are
organizing in an effort to finance
the Southern cotton crop through
the European crisis, is one of the
most important events that has
shown up on the industrial horl-
zon for many years. There have
been numerous plans sprung out
of this great problem whereby
the farmer could chase the bear
to his den at so much per chase,
but the bear always escaped, and
the farmer was usually caught,
and many would-be hnanciers
have talked as voluminously on
the subject as a book farmer dis
cussing the boil weevil. But the
present plan cuts out the middle
man. The man with the cotton and
the man with the money are now
talking face to face, and it is g
great hour for DiXieland.

Social Centers

The crying need Of rural North
Carolina is social centers where
our young people can be enter
tanned, amused and instructed
under the direction Of cultured,
clean and competent leadership,
where aesthetic surroundings
stir the love for the beautiful;
where art charges the atmos
phere with inspiration and pow
er, and innocent amusements in
struct and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on
the farm we must make farm
life more attractive, as we'll as
the business of farming more re-
munerative. The school house
should be the social unit, proper.
! ly equipped for nourishing anc
building character, so that the
lives of our people can properly
function around it and become
supplied with the necessary 'le
ments of human thought and ac
tivity.

A Square Deal

The National Farmers Union
is demanding a square deal from
Congress and State Legislatures
on the marketing of farm
products.
The Federal and State Govern
ments have been spending NIL
lions of dollars annually in urg-
ing the farmer to increasing pro
duction, but little attention has
been given to the marketing
side of the question.
1t is a well know paradox that
the larger the crop the less the
value and a stimulant to produc,
ton without corresponding aid II
marketing, loses much OF it
worth to agriculture. The Ma
ton is fast awakening to the fac
that marketing, and not produc
ton, is the problem of the farm
er.

One On the Bishop

Bishop Brindle, the we'll known
English clergyman, sometimes
tells this story against himself,
relates the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Dining at Sir Evelyn Woods he
narrated the old story of the
small boy who, going to a party,
was instructed to refuse cake, as
he had not been very well. But
suppose they ask me again num-
N.Y." he said. "Oh you must
still say, mo, thank you, y And
if they ask me again." "Oh,
they wouldn't be 50 rude as to
do that. Now, it is time you
were off. - The small boy re-
turned home in tears. Asked
what had happened, he replied:
We'll mummy, they asked me
to have cake, and | said, No
thank YOU and they asked me
again, and | said, No, thank
YOU and then they asked me
again, and | said just like daddy
says, Take the dam thing
away
At that moment a passing
footman caught the bishops last
words, and with a STRAIT swooped
down on his alf-fnished plate,
and bore it away.

CALL FOR NON PARTISAN
CONFERENCE IS SENT OUT
Meeting In Raleigh On Oct. 3 In
Interest OF The Amendments

Raleigh, Sept. 20. A call for
a non partisan conference OF Re-
publicans, Democrats and Pro-
gressives was issued today and
the meeting is set for October 3.
The committee that has signed
the invitation is composed OF
prominent North Carolinians, but
the work has been done chiefly
by Collector j. w. Bailey, a
member of the constitutional a.
mendment commission appointed
last year by Governor Craig, and
in the interest Of which amend
ments the conference is asked.
Some of the most distinguished
men in the minority parties have
been asked and have indicated
their desire to attend. The call
reads:
You are invited by the under
signed to attend an informal con-
ference in the rooms of the
chamber Of commerce at Raleigh,
October 4, at noon, for the pur-
pose of considering what may be
done in the present campaign by
the advocates Of the adoption OF
the amendments to the constitu
ton of North Carolina, to furth-
er that most important cause.
While it appears that our
people generally are in favor of
these amendments it must be
recognized that there is grave
danger that they will be defeated
unless concerted action is quick
" taken to arouse the electorate.
To devise ways and means Of
bringing about such action is one
of the objects of this meeting.
This invitation is sent only to
a limited number (about l20) Of
; citizens, these representing all
political parties. 1t is very i'm
; portant, we believe, that you
shall be present. If you cannot
come, you are at liberty to au-
thorize some other citizen Of
l. your county to take your place;
. and you may invite any one to
! come with you. But this letter
{ is sent to you because we believe
> that you appreciate the import
) ance of the amendments and
> will do your utmost for them
> We count on your coming, if il
; is reasonably possible.
Yours truly,

PERSONS WHO WOULD SUCCEED.
Stability Of Purpose and Consistency Of
Efforts Are the Ingredients.

THE difference between failure and
success is on the emphasis placed
upon them. Some men place their
emphasis ON the trivial things, the
unstable things of life; others place
their emphasis on the untrivial, the
stable. Some think that if they OBJ
tain or acquire power in a business
way, strength of riches, wisdom and
influence, they are successful. But
they fail in the supreme shccess-the
knowledge of God; TO fear God and
keep His commandments.
1T is all right for man to succeed
in business and make money, but it
is not wise for him to set his heart
on that one thing. Seek to make
Jesus Christ the king of our hearts
and king of the world. Seek this first.
How shall we who are professed
Christians seek Him? First. by pray
err We must pray Thy kingdom come,
that the Christian people may be en-
may develop backbone and fight all
forms of evil; that they may stand as
good soldiers and wipe out of Bryan
the pitfalls-the saloons, pool balls
and the dirty shows; that all idols
on the face of the earth may be
smashed and that men everywhere
may call upon Christ and look to Him
for life.
Second, by missions-the evangeli'
zation of the world The church that
is not evangelical is not a church of
Jesus Christ. Go out into every nook
and corner of the world and seek the
unsaved ones; those who are down,
tasting the very Drinks of hell.
Third, internal culture-The Sun
day school and other organizations of
the church were founded that we
might cultivate our spiritual natures
Some people say, After I have
established my business and built my
home: after | have gained fame and
fortune in the intellectual world, then
/ will seek the kingdom of Christ But
the Lord says, Seek we first my king

The man who does not profess to
be a Christion, in seeking success and
happiness in the pleasures of this life
