C. 1 RIDAV, JIM: 12, 1025 (10 PAGES THIS WEEK) NUMBER 17 CO-OPS SET GOAL AT 200,000,000 New Board In Action Quickly Follows Wishes Of Members As Expressed In Big Annual Meet ing. (S. D. Frlssell) Adopting the slogan of "200 million pounds of tobacco for 1925" last week, at their first meeting, the newly elect, ed board of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association, whose new members are all dirt farmers, were quick to get into action with policies recommended at the recent record breaking annual session of 1500 mem bers at Raleigh. To bring the management and the membership into close contact in carrying on the business of the to bacco association, the board last week agreed to put into effect the resolu tion urged by the members in annual session which creates an advisory board in each of the 22 districts cov<. ered by the association in three states, consisting of the delegates who are elected by the members each year to name their directors. According to the action of the1 board these delegates will meet with I the director of each district "quarter ly and as often as the director or a majority of the committee think ad visable. It shall be their duty to consider all matters of policy and the Personnel of the organization oper tir.-g in their district as advisory." - - other important decision of the litv.'.y elected governing board of the tobic o co-ops last week was to car ry or. ell present suits begun by the association and to rigidly enforce the marketing contract in the courts but I to deduct no penalties from deliveries f of tobacco of the 1925 crop from those who have failed to make deliveries in ether years. | By this action of the new board, no1 member who delivers his tobacco to J the association in 1925 need have any fear that deduction will be made from payments to him from next season's crop to meet claims which the asso ciation has against him for failure to deliver tobacco of other crops. The association is looking to large increase of deliveries this year fol lowing the assurances of support from its representative members in annual sosslon. In assuring members who have fail ed in past years to make full or par tial deliveries of tobacco to the coop erative warehouses that no deduc tions will be made from their 1925 tobacco, the governing body of the to bacco association have taken a defi nite step towards their goal of 200 million pounds of tobacco in the com ing season.

If it is not dead it did not do everything that has been done alone. The $40,000 school building was not built by Youngsvllle people Elone, but by the country people also. Youngsvllle might have had a B. Y. P. U. before Franklinton, Oak Grove, Harris Chapel, or Flat Rock, but they did not organize the Harris Chapel B. Y. P. U. Pierce's B. Y. P. U. gave a demonstration program at Harris Chapel about eight years ago and the people organized ,a B. Y. P. U. but it soon died because there were not enough young people to keep it going. About two years ago Rolesville B. Y. P. U. organized Harris Chapel B. Y. P. U. and since tben Harris Chapel has had a wide-a-wake union. It had an A-l B. Y. P. U. for the past year and won an A-l pennant. Youngsville still has a B. Y. P. U. but like Harris Chapel it has been re organized. Last fall J. D. Morris, then president of Harris Chapel Un ion, organized the Youngsvllle B. Y. P. U. After they were organized Franklinton gave them a program. W. P.

Few have recognised that I the territory covered by the states | called the South Is, as a whole, the richest in general resources of any j section of the Union. Today the! South could be cut off from the re-1 mainder of the world by a great wall' and still its people could live in lux ury and ease trofa the development of their own resources. Today the people of the whole na-1 tion are awakening to the truth. Dur- j ing the past several years the South has impressed itself on the industrial world. Because of labor difficulties, some years ago certain manufacturing concerns in the New England States turned their attention to the South, there they found conditions favorable to carryiqg on their manufacturing enterprises without the consent of un ions, dominated largely by foreigners. The Southern States are proud of the fact that the great mass of the population is American. The people as yet have been unaffected by the killing germ of Socialism and Com munism. Moreover, noting what these germs have done to certain Northern states, any attempt to transplant tbem to the South will meet with a proper and violent opposition. While West Virginia is not always counted as a part of the South, yet here the move to inject Socialism and Communism through the United Mine Workers has met with a proper rebuke. Today West Virginia is the salvation of the nation because its mines are permit ted to operate and supply coal to the American consumers. The South la developing some of the greatest hydro-electric power plants in the world. Power will soon be cheap throughout these tates. Transportation facilities, both rail and water, are excellent. As reliable American help, cheap power and good transportation are the three essentials to Industrial activities, and the South is able to present itself as possessing all of these, naturally industrial growth will result. The New York Commercial has great confidence In that section of the country because it is yet so thorough ly American, and because its people ?till believe In this country and our form of government. The New York Commercial has done considerable personal Investigating of the truth about the South. It has yet to find an instance where the facts have been overstated save here and there where some Individual has become too opti mlstio.?N. Y. Commercial, June 5. Keep the cream cool this summer.
