Shall The South Control Cotton? England controls the price of Diamonds, Brazil the price of Coffee and in Louisburg C. C. HUDSON controls the price of Sugar. Southern spot holders are today at death grips with the interests which have iought, bulragged, manipulated, cheated, and swindled them for forty years. The one certain way to beat them is to let the contract market rage as it will while WE HOLD OUR SPOTS AND SELL ONLY AT OUR PRICE. If the South would forever break these chains of slavery and stand free before the world, it must place itself in a position to absolutely dominate the price of ootton. No theory that it is incumbent upon the South to raise cotton at a loss for the good of the world is worth a moment's consideration. For the last fifty years with the exception of the last two, cotton has never commanded a fair price to the growers. The whole world has come to believe that it is the duty of the South to raise cotton and sell it at the lowest possible price. If dur ing this period of time we had received a fair price for cotton, out of our prosperity would have come a larger development of educational and religious life, better schools, better church buildings, better roads and better homes on the farms; other agri cultural sections have these. Cotton as a subject ruled absolutely by the South could be made to aid in bringing prosperity but cotton continued as a king dominating object slaves will forever hold the South in the Slavery of Poverty. Throw off the chains of slavery by following the Infallible Plan. Hold your cotton and reduce your acreage one-third. Now, Mr. Farmer this is not all after you get your price for your cotton, it all depends on where you spend your money, you cannot afford to buy goods from merchants who had big stocks on hand Jan. 1st. Prices on an average on all goods with a few exceptions are off from one third to one-half. You should buy from merchants who believes in small profits and sell for cash, and turn his capital over once a month through the year. Three years ago we started to run a 5 and 10 cent store. We very soon found that Louisburg was too small for a 5 and 10 cent store. We would have had to charge .you .double .the price on goods where you could have bought in larger towns, we then also added to our line one of the biggest Variety Stocks in Franklin County, which includes all the 5 and 10 cent lines that are carried in up-to-date 5 and 10 cent stores. By adding these additional lines it made it possible for us to compete with any 5 and 10 cent store in the State. We are going to mention just a few of the articles we carry which is needed in every home.
