URGE HOLDING OF COTTON.
Cotton Conference Urges United Ac-
tion to Hold Cotton For Fair Price.

Raleigh, Nov. 19-C. J. Mcconnell,
turned from Atlanta, Ca, where he
attended the cotton congress called
by Governors Dorsey of Georgia, and
Manning Of South Carolina, under the
auspices of the Cotton States Official
Advisory Marketing Board.
The conference, which was largely
attended by representatives from all
cotton growing states, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, the recent heavy break
in cotton prices is wholly unjustified
by existing conditions and the great
disturbance incident to the heavy
break in the market has temporarily
paralyzed the agricultural and bust
ness interests of the South and en-
tailed heavy loss to the cotton produc-
er by reason of the price being below
the cost of productions; therefore be it
Resolved, That the farmers, mer-
chants, bankers and business men or
ganize and unite with the determined
purpose to withhold from sal all cot
ton until price can be obtained that
will cover the cost Of production, plus
a reasonable profit. That when such
price is obtained we further urge that
cotton be sold only to meet pressing
urge that the Federal Reserve banks
eral as is consistent with good bust
ness in rediscounting notes secured by
cotton.
"We further heartily recommend te
the farmers of the South that by rea
son of the great need for increasing
food end feed CROPS that they mater.
tally increase their acreage of these
crops for the year 1919 and to ac
complish this end by reducing theil
cotton acreage.
"We urge that the widest publicit!
be given the action of this conference
and that authorities and agencies il
each State be especially charged will
the duty of organizing each State in
to county and school districts for the
purpose of carrying out the actor
embodied in these resolutions"
Many of the speakers attributed the
recent violent slump in prices to the
War Industries Board and shortly be
fore adjournment the following reso
luton was adopted:
"Be it resolved, That it is the sense
of this conference that the power
and functions of the War Industrie
Board should be dissolved immediatel
upon the conclusion Of peace"
There was some division of opinio
concerning the advisability of callin
on Congress to dissolve the War In
dustries Board, but ]. H. Mills, Pres
ident of the Georgia Farmers Uniol
threw out an idea that decided the de
egates in favor of the resolution.

ers of American raw materials fo1
export? Suppose the board permits
certain stipulated quantity Of Amer.
lean raw cotton to be shipped out OF
the country and hold the balance al
home? This is the plan now being
considered. You might as we'll face
the issue now as later, for you've got
to face it eventually"
This suggestion at once opened the
eyes of the delegates to tremendous
possibilities. They wanted to know il
the textile interests were going te
have a fence built around American
raw cotton, so that they could take it
at their pleasure and pay such a
price as they pleased to pay. This
was about what it would amount to-
thought Mr.. Mills and others. So the
delegates lost no time in adopting the
resolution demanding the dissolution
of the War Industries Board imme-
diately upon the conclusion of peace.

FARMER WANTS
ALL TO KNOW
my Wife Suffered So She Could
Not Rest at Night; Dreco Cured
Her." Says Noah Goodwin.

Backache, rheumatism, urinary dis
orders, are caused from weak, mac
tive kidneys, which fail to filter out
the impurities and keep the blood
pure, and the only way on earth to per-
manently and positively cure such
troubles, is to remove the cause.
The great herb medicine, Dreco,
accomplishes this because it reaches
the very roots of the disease. It soaks
right into the stopped up, inactive
kidneys through the walls and Innings
cleans out the little filtering cells
and glands; neutralizes and dissolves
the poisonous acid substances and
drives all the waste matter out of the
system.

rest at night" declares Noah Good.

IN MEMORIAM.

On the fifteenth day of October,
nineteen hundred eighteen, Edward
Jones Pope was called upon to lay
down his life in the service of his
country; and answering at the end
of extremely painful, yet patient, suf-
fering, he put off the armor of the
beloved and gallant soldier that he
was to go and walk with his Heaven
ly Father in peace and newness Of
Wherefore, the Baraca class of the
First Baptist church Of Lumberton, Of
which deceased had long been a we'll
beloved friend and member, desires
at this time to point with pride and
satisfaction to the unselfish and USE
full service he was engaged upon at
the time of his passing; and yet to
deplore most sincerely and with the
tenderest of sympathy with all those
whose natural affections have thus
been so grievously touched by the
transition Of this son, brother, COM
rade, friend and kinsman. Especially
do we find sorrow that he was cut
down just at the period of his life
that appeared so full Of promise and
happiness for himself and others, and
that he might not have been spared
to share in full the glory Of his coun-
try on tie day of victory for justice
and right, for the very accomplish
ment Of which he was so cheerfully
blending his life in sacrifice with the
hosts of Americas liberty flowing sons
vet through the tempests of his en-
vironments in camp holding his heart
and mind aloof to his Saviour.
However, Notwithstanding the great
measure in which we all shall miss
him, we assume not to ask the question
'Why?', but take hope in the faitf
and knowledge that our Father doetf
all things we'll, and in His promise
that the just shall be found with Him

shipped on back orders, nor with.

command to prevent duplication
of sales which may give to a re-
taller the opportunity to have
more sugar than is necessary for

eighty per cent of their normal
requirements of sugar, accord.

ing the high school property, and
upon beginning the work, it ap.
pears from reliable sources, thas
some of the members of the
board of education forbid the
street com missioner building the
culvert, but instructed the driv.
ers who are hauling material for
work on the building, to drive
across the ditch.
The street commissioner in.
forms US that after this episode
the mayor ordered him as soon
as the weather permitted, to
withdraw fifteen feet from the
present inside line of the street
and to dig a drainage ditch so
that it would be in line with other
bitches from other streets, and
this making the street the same
width as those of other streets.
This is simply spite work, on
somebody's part, and is to be
regretted. Work of this sort
should be removed from the &C
tions of either the city admins
tration or that of the school
board, and nothing good can re.
suit from the controversy. We
