A WARNING TO
 COTTON GROWERS By the Conference of Cotton State Bankers. Don't
 Increase Acreage.
1T MIGHT MEAN SERIOUS DISASTER

With a shortage of ships to move our cotton to foreign shores; with no indication of the end of the war; with the nation stirred over preparedness for eventual ities; with the buying power of the entire world gradually lessen ing day by day, it becomes our duty to issue this formal warning as the time of planting cotton is at hand.
 Let everyone encourage the farmer to be on the safe side by raising plenty of feed and food for the community as well as for himself, his family, and his live stock, Ia calf, pig, chickens, and a garden often mean the diff ference between want and money ahead. ) Economical and safe liv- ing for all as well as safe farm ing" must be the rule if prosper ity is to abide with us.
 Six cent cotton this fall would

spell disaster in the cotton States. Low price follows over-supply as certainly as the night the day. High prices and prosperity over the South this year prove what voluntary reduction of cotton acreage does. Any marked in- crease in acreage over last year is going to result in a great loss to Southern cotton producers, merchants, and bankers, and will similarly effect all allied business and professions.

ALL ARE FOR
 TOM. ". CAMPBELL Randolph County Officials Strongly Endorse
 Him.
SURE THAT HE GAN MAKE GOOD

To the People of the Second Congressional District: Our neighbor and fellow citizen Tom ". Campbell, is candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress. We have known MT. l Campbell from his youtk up. We knew him when he was a farmer boy on Elevenpoints river in this county, and when he was a teach CT in our public schools, and when he represented this county in the Legislature, and we have known him throughout his career as a lawyer. We take pleasure in stating that during all these years of our close and intimate acquaintance with him he has proven himself to be a man of high character and splendid abil- ity. We know him to be absolute ly honorable in all his actions both public and private. He pos |sesses unbounded energy. His ability as a public speaker is e. qualed by but few men in the state.
 We have with pleasure seen MT. Campbell succeed in all his under lakings, and have watched his steady rise by the force of his own rugged man hood and indomi- t able will, from a barefoot boy on the farm to one of theablest law yers in the state; and we would now like to see him elected to Congress, where we know his sterling qualities of ability, and honesty will make him at once a leader in the interest of good government.
 MT. Campbell, in every contest, has always carried Randolph county by a strong majority, and we feel assured that in the com ing primary he will carry this county by the largest majority ever given candidate in any contest.
 For 80 years Randolph county has been piling up Democratic majorities to help elect citizens of other counties to Congress; but in all her history she has new CT asked to have this houor con- ferred upon one of her citizens until MT. Campbell became can aidate. We appeal to the people oa this district jo support Mi. Campbell and send hirn to Con- gress, and assure you that he ,, will make good there as he has done in all other worl. he has un- iertaken.
 Very sincerely,

When we began to enter it we had to
destroy automobiles wagons vehicles

soldiers wept as they demolished heir
guns, those pieces of steel which they
called their French friends, the ord

The men had become attached to them
and many artillerymen served the

refused to destroy their pieces, saying
they preferred to. use their last bit of
strength in trying to save them; and
some of them have succeeded and ac-

After all these sufferings from cold,
hunger and fatigue, many soldiers be-

tragedy of the situation is that the

for the women and children.

Americas have more and more real
lied that in all essential particulars
they intend the same thing with re-
gard to their thought and their life
and their activities.
ITO be privileged therefore to see
this drawing together in friendship
and communion based upon these
solid foundations affords every one
who looks on with open eyes peculiar
satisfaction and 6oy, and it has seemed
to me that the language of science,
the language Of impersona1 thought,
the language of those who think, not
along the lines of Individual interest,
but along what are intended to be the
direct and searching lines of truth it.
self, was a very fortunate languagek in
which to express this community OF
interest and OF sympathy
Life All OF Piece.
But. ladies and gentlemen, our
thought cannot pause at the artificial
boundaries of the fields of science and
Of commerce. All boundaries that
divide life into sections and interests
are artificial, because life is all of a,
piece. You cannot treat part of it
without by Implication and indirec-
ton treating all Of it, and the field Of
science is not to be distinguished from
the field of life any more than the
field Of commerce is to be distinguish
ed from the general field of life,
mo one who reflects upon the pro-
gress of science or the spread of the
arts of peace or the extension and
perfection of any of the practical arts
only one atmosphere that these things
breathe, and that is an atm sphere
of mutual confidence and of peace
and of ordered political life among
the nations.
Amidst war and revolution even
the voice Of science must for the most
part be silent. and revolution tears up
the. very roots OF everything that
makes life go steadily forward and
the light grow from generation to
generation. For nothing stirs pas
sion like political disturbance, and.
passion is the enemy of truth.
Economically Dependent.
These things were realized with
peculiar vfvidness and said with un-
usual eloquenee in a recent confer
ence held in this city for the purpose
of considering the financial relations
between the two contine nts of Aneriz
ca, because it was preceived that
fnanciers can dc nothing without the
Cooperation of government and that
If merchants would deal with one an
other laws must agree with one an
other+that you cannot make laws
vary without making them contra
dict and that amidst contradictory
laws the easy flow of commercial in
tercourse is impossible, and that,
therefore a financial congress natur-
ally led to all the differences of poll
tics. For politics I conceive to be
nothing more than the science of the
ordered progress of society along the
lines of greatest usefulness and con
venienee to itself.
1.-THE conference to which I have
referred marked the consciousness of
the two Americas that economically
they are very Independent upon one
another, that they have q great deal
that it is very desirable they should
exchange and share with one another,
that they have kept unnatura11y and
unfortunately separated and apart
