Much Cotton Being Sold and
Delivered Cotton Association

Around five hundred bales of cotton
Were delivered to the Cooperative As
sociation in Union county during the
past week. About fifteen hundred
bales were sold on the Monroe mar
l;et, much of it coming from Anson
and Chesterfield counties.
More than 200 bales of cotton are
being delivered daily to the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Co-opera-
tive Association, according to General
Manager U. b. Blalock, who expects
the daily average to pass the two
thousand mark before the end of this
week.
In line with the policy adopted by
the board of directors to make an adj
vance of approximately fifty per cent
of the market value of the cotton at
the time of delivery, the association
management has arranged to make a
further advance on long staple cotton
to bring the total advance up to that
mark. The additional distribution will
be made in about ten days after de-
livery and will be based on govern
ment figures for the Charlotte dis
trict. Cotton of an inch and one six
teenth or over is known as long sta
pie.
The advance of fifty dollars per
bale was decided upon by the board
of directors as being approximately
fifty per cent of the market value of
a standard bale of cotton. The def
mite figure was selected to facilitate

If You Want to Find Out How
Oil You Are

Forget the calendar" says Doug
las Fairbanks. IF you want to find
out how old you really are, try your
self out. Look at the next flight of
steps you have TO go up. See how
long the treads are, maybe six inches,
seven, never over eight. Steps are
planned for the old people, planned
for you at eighty years. Youth has
to jump them two or three at time,
or run up. You can tell how near
eighty you are by the way you feel
toward those steps. II you want to
walk up, you're eighty. But if you
feel their slowness, if they make you
impatient to get to the top, if you
want to runup or jump up, don't let
those eighty-year-old steps impose
their age on you, get up the way you
want. Let everyone refuse to walk
them except the eighty -year-olds.
They are their steps.
Gates-we don't have so many of
them nowhere made for old people;
fences for the young. How do you
look at a fence? If you want to get
over it, you're young yet, no matter
what the calendar says. Go over the
rails, leave the gate for the fellow it
was built for.
"Trees talk. To an old man they
mean rest and shade, but every single
tree in the woods shouts to young
fellow, You son Of a gun, you can't
get up met

young. Climb.

aed business men can't exactly see

March on the Congregations
MONROE CRAFTSMEN
GO BACK TO WORK

Yesterday morning the fifty or
sixty shop craftsmen who have
been out on strike in Monroe since
July went back to work, following
terms agreed upon few days ago.
A like number of men who have
been doing the work in the Mon
roe shops. were transferred. TO
Hamlet and Jacksonville and will
be retained in the service for the
present at least. II is reported
that the striking craftsmen and
the extra force will be needed to
put the rolling stock in FIST class
condition in short order.
Trainmaster S. H. Adams states
that the guards have all been re-
leased from duty and that every
thing is moving along smoothly.
Mr.Adams states that at one time
thirty-iive guards were employed
here. but that the splendid order
ard gentlemanly attitude of the
local men who were out on strike
caused the Seaboard to reduce the
guard force to seven men. MIR.
Adams further states that the
craftsmen on strike in Monroe
have given no trouble at all, that
they have conducted themselves
as real gentlemen and that SO far
as Monroe is concerned the work
has been carried on as though
there were no strike-that the
shops have been working on
hundred per cent efficiency.
He makes the statement that the
craftsmen went back to their work
yesterday morning in good spirits
and with. the best. of feelings
toward all. 1t is also to the credit
to Mr.. Adams and other Seaboard
employees here that order and
efficient work have been maintain
ed at this place. The gentlemanly
and wise attitude of these EN-
ployees toward the craftsmen and
also the sensible view taken by the
strikers and the citizens of the
city has had much to do with the
peaceful operations of the work in
Monroe during the past two and
n half months.

the handling of accounts of members.
Further advances will be made as
fast as sales permit.
Receiving agents have been appoint
ed for more than two hundred points
and contracts have been closed with
sixty warehouses with prospects
of securing at least dozen more. This
will provide the association with more
than three hundred points for receiv-
ing cotton.
General Manager Blalock returned
to the office Monday from a trip into
the Piedmont section and reported
that cotton was being delivered in
large quantities to the association
Saturday. He is very much gratified
over the prospects.
North Carolina banks have arrang-
ed to lend the association two million
dollars for its revolving fund. The as
sociation has a credit of ten million
dollars with the War Finance Cor
poration, which will be available when
needed.
The assoc alton is still keeping its
doors open for members, according to
Homer H. B. Mask, manager of the
field service department but it will
soon be necessary to close them as
it will be impractible to receive a cot
ton grower as member after he has
sold a part of his cotton on the open
market, The Association has more
than 100000 bales of cotton signed
up, which is more than fifty per cent
of the North Carolina cotton crop.

Neighb0rs

(From Indiana Farmers Guide.)
Our understanding of the term,
ne'ghbors, undergoes changes from
generation to generation and from
locality to locality. The plainsman
of the west includes among his neigh
bors everyone within a radius of
something like hundred miles, while
in the congested agricultural areas
of the east, the neighborhood CON-
prises something considerably less
than section of ground, unless it be
a region of large farms, when the
township will hold at least half a
dozen such areas. And when we get
into the greater congestion of the
city, the neighbors have practically
disappeared. The term is nearly OBJ
solete.
Neighbors are general in their sig
nifcance. They mean more than the
people who live near by. They mean
the people with whom we commune
frequently and easily in terms of
common fellowship but without any
bonds of religious, fraternal or other
logical relations. The neighbor is
the fellow from whom we can borrow
readily and to whom we lend trust
ingly. He is next to the family in
his relationship to US.
But strange to say, the farther we
travel and the faster we 60, the
more limited seems to be our neigh
borly circle. Grandfather had no au-
tomobile and he had more na,sAbors
and knew them better thar We. The

166 PEOPLE BURNED TO
DEATH IN ONE YEAR
Governor Issues Proclamation Calling
Upon People TO Observe Fire
Prevention Day

Raleigh, Sept. 1S.-Governor Nor
rison today issued a proclamation
calling upon the people of the state
to observe Monday, October 9th, as
Fire Prevention Day." to be observ-
ed in such way "as to visualize and
prevent the irreparable loss we an
nuaily sustain through individual neg
lect."
I'VE cannot make poverty crime
while We regard extravaganza as a
virtue, neither can we shut our eyes
to carelessness and waste and there
BY postpone the day of financial ex-
haustion,' the proclamation begins.
Living in a land of plenty we are
apt to corso'e ourselves with the de-
lusiye thought that what we lose we
can replace. How about what we des-
troy? That which is lost may be re-
covered, that which is DESTROYED by
fire Is beyond restoration. Fire means
destruction, not loss. How improperly,
therefore, do we continue to refer to
our annual toll of burned as property
fire loss 1t is destruction; deplorable
because preyentable; criminal because
murderous.
North Carolina waged a more in
tensive campaign in the cause of fire
prevention during the past year than
any Ike period of its history, yet
l66 persons lost their lives in burn
ing buildings, while property destrue-
ton reached the unprecedented sum
OF S1,5O0,000. Are we becoming more
thoughtless, more careless, more
wasteful, or must we admit that we
are becoming state of incendiarists ?
Let each community determine the
cause and meet the problem with the
determ nation to apprehend the crimi-
nal, reform the careless and elimi-
nate the enormouS and unnecessary
fire waste"
Governor Morrison asks the peo-
pie, in observing October 9th as fire
prevention day to eliminate rubbish.
waste and other combustible mater
ials. He asks the local authorities to
give publicity to fire prevention or
dlnanees, to inspect thoroughly all
business and residential premises
with the view of eliminating condi-
tions which may cause fire. He urges
public and private institutions to make
a thorough inspection of their heating
and chimneys and to effect such
changes as will safeguard the lives
of occupants, and that institutions.
factories and public, parochial and
private schools instruct their children
as to the dangers of fire and accident.
