pleasant party Tuesday night at the
home of Rev and Mrs Plaxco. The
affair was along Halloween lines,
the hallway and the rooms of the
house being decorated in leaves, pot

ed at the door by a ghost in white
which ratified it's chains and touched
one with cold and clanny hand,
while the old witch with her broom
conducted the guests from room to
room. After the guests were all ga
thered the lights were turned on and
apple races, bobbling for apples, for
tune telling, throwing the ring over
colored candles and a guessing con-
test were enjoyed. Toasted marsh
mallows were also a part of the
evenings pleasures.
Twenty-Five young people were

COTTON FARMERS MUST
MAKE OWN SUPPLIES

Columbia, Feb. 26.-''It would be
criminal bIunder for the farmers Of
the cotton belt to fail to make their
own hog and hominy this year" said
Governor I. w. Beckett, Of North
Carolina. in n letter to J. Skottowe
WannamaEer president of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association, asking that
Mr.. Wannamaker emphasize the fact
that the only safety for the cotton
farmer is TO make his own supplies.
The letter from Governor Beckett
to Mr.. Wannamaker follows in full:
Permit me TO suggest that just at
this time I think YOU could render to
the cotton growers of the south seI-v-
ice of inestimable by emDhasiZi the
undoubted fact that the only safety
for the cotton farmer is to make
his own supplies. 1t would be Grim
inal blunder for the farmers of the
cotton belt to fail to make their own
hog and hominy this year The best
cotton warehouse in the world is a
corn crib and smoke house chock fu!l
II our farmers viii make their own
bread and they can hold their cotton
indefinitely. If they fail TO make it
all the warehouses in the world will
not keep that cotton from going on
the market at sacrifice price Just
now you are in Il position to drive this
great truth home to the farmers in the
south, and L earnestly hope that YOU
will do So
