About Cotton Farming

After reading the articles in the Star
Herald regarding farming, especially
on the cotton situation, l am inclined
to say that its sound doctrine and If
every farmer would heed what they
have said we would find ourselves in n
much better condition this fall than
if we were to plant another big acreage
Of cotton this spring.
Mr.. Rainwater has hit the keynote
in his letter to the bankers. l have
been trying for some time TO preach
that to the people. | want to take
this opportunity to appeal to every
banker and merchant of the south to
adhere strictly to Mr.. Rainwater's ad-
vice. because the banker and the mer-
chant are the only two classes of men
that can control the cotton acreage.
Ninety per cent of the cotton farm
ers have to be furnished one way or
another and if the banker and mer-
chant will see to it that no one they
furnish puts in more than 80 per cent
Of his crop in cotton, we will get more
money out of the 80 per cent than we
would out of a 100 per cent crop.
Besides, we will have something to eat
and feed with this winter.
Let's pass it on and everybody in
sist that the banker and merchant
adopt that rule. Banker, merchant
and farmer will be glad this fall when
they see the barns filled with corn and
hay, the smoke house with meat and
lard and our potatoes, turnips and
fruit (if we have any ON account of
the freeze) Then we can take our
80 per cent cotton crop to the market
and have more money with which to
make our banker and merchant smile
than we would with 100 per cent
acreage, besides having something to
make our wife and children smile wnen
we go to the table.
May God put it into the hearts of
the people of the South to take heed
while they have time and the Opportun-
ity, is my prayers. With best wishes
to all, am, as ever, citizen of Ran
dolph county. W. L. Slayton.

Walker Decker Of Pocahontas was
here the latter part of last week visit
ing relatives and meeting his old
friends.
We notice where the gentleman from
Supply sent in few hot shots about
our friend and neighbor, Joe s. Decker,
and we people over here took 1t that
he was rejecting on Joe's honesty. If
he was we are glad to tell him that he
is mistaken and we wish he knew Joe
as well as we do The people in this
part of the country know Joe Decker
to be one of the biggest hearted fellows
in the county. He has helped more
widows and orphans than any man in
this county. Some of you will remem-
Der about the storm destroying the
Christian church here some time ago.
Most of the members are poor people
and thought they could never rebuild
the church. Joe took II on himself to
rebuild 1t and today they have a beau
tiful church here Joe Decker paid
every dollar of 1t himself. He donates
more to the school and more to the up
building of the town and country than
any one in this section and If we had
more such men the county would be
better off. Why is 1t that most all Of
the people in this part Of the country
like Joe Decker? Because he is al
ways ready to lend helping hand to
everyone and he has personally accom-
m0dated almost every man, woman and
child in this part Of the country. We
believe in giving flowers to a fellow
| while he lives.

 Trucks and automobiles were overturned, me-going crowds stampeded and were trampled under foot and panic reigned as amhu- lances, fire apparatus and the cars Of police rescue and emergency crews sought 10 reach the pier.
 The Chaunccy M. Dcpew was docked at the pier when the fire be- gan but was lowed 10 safety in mi1- stream before the flames had spread 10 it. Fire boats swarmed as near the pier as possible and streams of water were turned on the fire from both land and river but without ap- parent effect.

 The fact that the tide was high proved q serious handicap to the fire fighters. It prevented men on the fire boats from directing their stream mp under the pier where the flames were fiercest. Bremen from land companies foated a raft and towing hose padded their way out into the river in an effort to gain position from which they could fight the fire to some effect.
 Reserves Called Out
 On shore the commotion and con- gestion increased as thousands of Jersey commuters arrived to take the Fort Lee ferry which leaves from the same pier used by the Day line. Reserves from three stations co-operated with traffic policemen from all available posts in an at tempt 10 keep lines open for fire ap- paratus and ambulances.

Had she been informed about life and the ways of men, she might have sus> pected that something was wrong when he insisted that they leave college and marry at once.
 Had she listened to the wise counsel of her parents and those who really loved her-Margy would have made sure that the man who proposed marriage was all he represented himself to be-
 But, unhappiy, that was not Margy's way Swept of her feet by his tempestuouS love>mak> ing-little dreaming of what lay ahead she deafened her ears to the pleadings of her parents yielded to the turing picture of happiness painted by her sweetheart-and one night they quietly slipped away-on the road, as she believed, to an Eden of Romance,
 But as Margy looks back now on the tragic consequences of her folly, her soul is stirred with kind of helpless fury. She wants to cry out warning to girls and their parents everywhere
 Why" she says, "are girls not properly warned of the traps and pitfalls of life? Why are they not told about the wiles and lairs of the wolf? Can knowledge dehle, and ignorance keep them pure?"
 It is because she believes that forewarned is forearmed, that she has written her story, "The Lair of the Wolf" which appears complete in True Story Magazine for July. She wants every girl to read it. She wants all parents to read it. Don't miss this gripping heartthrobbing feature in True Story for July.
