Goodwin, a good farmer from New Hill, Route 2, was in our office one day last week, bringing in his subscription for another year as well as that of a neighbor. He sat and talked with us for a while on things in general, and in the course of the conversation we discussed cooperative ® marketing, and the great good that * the organization had done in Chatham county. There is no discounting the fact that the price of cotton today is the result of the cooperation existing among the producers and the organi zation that was affected in Chatham county last year. If the old hap hazard manner of holding cotton as individuals and marketing it in the same manner had prevailed, then the price of the fleecy staple would be much lower than it is today. We doubt seriously if it had gone above 20 cents. The spirit of progress is abroad in the land and the farmer is at the forefront now. In fact more so than at any time in the history of the world. The old farmer has come into his own. He plans, prophesies and ex ecutes agreeable to his desires and is no longer the tool or the bene factor for the greedy. The time has been when false lead ers arose and the farmer followed to his regret; he disbelieved and is not now so easily convinced on a whirl proposition, because he is o - na par . wind proposition because he is on a par in intelligence with any man and is the peer of many. Just so sure as the sun shines from the heavens, there is a great fu ture for the toilers of the soil in Chat ham county. A real, literal, just re ward awaits them on every hand. Old things are making new and the ape and tiger are being taken out of man and evidence is abundant of advance ment on every hand throughout Chat ham. Our hats are off to the farmers of Chatham county and we pledge you our earnest efforts in your behalf in your cooperative work in any particu lar. GOOD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE During the week-end the editor was privileged to visit through a good portion of Chatham around Carolina, Goldston, Bonlee and through that section. We were in no hurry and stopped here and there to shake hands with the folks. On every occasion we found things in a prosperous condi tion. People were cheerful, full of spirit and happy as could be. In our travels through Chatham we have found the folks on an aver age of the better sort. It is true that anywhere a person may go they will find good and they will find bad peo ple, but it can safely be said that there are more good people in Chat ham than in any other county in North Carolina. There Is only one black spot on the horizon for this county and that is the small amount of blockading. This is fast There Is a deter mined set of people in the county that will eventually overcome this evil and every court we now have puts some of the older offenders where they will do no more harm. This evj] against the county is in the hands of the lawless, of course, and nothing better can be expected of them. Any self-respecting man, a man with a conscience and one with intelligence enough to know that there is a hell and a hereafter will not and does not mingle with illegally made liquor. It will take time of course to edu cate these unfortunate people up to the point where they will not only « know that it is wrong and sinful but they shall not make liquor, in Chat ham. It is being accomplished every - week.- Nevertheless everywhere you go in Chatham you find many good people - in abundance and it is indeed a pleasure to be among them. We hope to perambulate further as the summer comes on. Tourists spent more than $300,000,- 000 during the winter in Florida —no wonder that State can afford so much sunshine. Republicans are now telling the people what the Sixty-seventh Con gress did, and Democrats what it did not do. Truth lies between. From the appearance of some of ■ the exchanges coming to this office somebody has bit for a certain shoe ad. It may turnout all right and the owners of these papers may get pay for the ad, but The Record did not bite. The News and Observer says “if anybody didn’t like what the legisla ture did, he has a chance to help in selecting a legislature next time which will be more to his liking. Too many people do not get interested in the legislature until it assembles.” Whiskey sellers and whiskey drink ers are catching it a’going and a’com ing. If a man sells liquor he is liable .to arrest, and if a man buys the stuff and even a spoonful is found on his person he can be tried, and if found guilty can be sent to the roads. If you can get whiskey into your home own ttS€ you can count on a bothi™*™ 11 and the officers cannot ■ETnW ■!!■!

He got his divorce papers /rom the third story of a building, came down to the second story and procured a marriage license, then came on down to the first story and secured a preacher and married an other woman. Some quick work, that. It may be an erroneous conclusion but Mr. W. E. Sharpe says the sun shone bright in Raleigh yesterday. He supposes it is in honor of the legisla ture adjourning. But we fear it was given for light that the members might be able to find the way home to their constituents. —Alamance Observ er, March 7. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
