L !^ i! nt"Finiey, of the South-

T > (nnual Convention of the
rfi'^ama Good Roads Association
T 'av “Interest of the
ElWrs in Highway Improve-
" treating his subject in a
way as covering the entire
tinsDortation system of the Un-
ittd States and embracing water-
,-fi railways as well as the
Jountiw highways. He sai^ in

Fin the facility with which it

A bale of cotton v^ould be
obv' uteiy without value to a
ei if grown in a field . from
liVi h ic would be a practical im-
.Jsibilicy to remove it. It has
5^,jue because of the fact that
,p„arks are available for carrying
‘"io a cotton mill and for carry-/|
I pj ii e products of the cotton
their final consumers. I
(^f no commodity that bet-
tt'fjei ves to illustrate the import-
g[,ee of transportation than cot-
It is in demand wherever
ciytiii’s. are worn and by far the
£veuu ;■ part of the world's sup-
t rodueed in our Southeast-
gii! .tes. The price of cotton
p, 111 farm is fixed by the rela-
l on of the total supply to the
sorid demand and the effectives
the deiiiar.d is dependent upon
u; carry the raw cotton
■ . ry the cotton mill prod-
uj[.s inio every inhabited locality
ir, me world. An Alabama cot
ton gro-ver is, therefore, interest-
ea ill traiisporation, not only in
is own county and in his own
State, but throughout the United
Slates, across the ocean, and in
ali countries. On the other
hauj, every family in Alabaina
uses 10 some extent commodities
gaUieied from distant localities
in the United States and from
fereign countries. Thus we are
ail interested in the efficiency of
’ivorid-transportation.
“’More directly we are interest
ed in the transportation system
of the United States, which em
braces three kinds of highways—
the waterway, the railway, and
i&e wagon road, each having an
j/aportant function to per .O'm
[and each supplementing xhe
’ others. With respect to each of
these bAsrhways every citizen in a
'..and oi popular government has
fan individual respo.isibility.’’
Mr, Finley pointed out that, as
the country highway is the road
over which commodities from
fther localities must be distribut
ed through an agriculturjil .reign
and over which all farm products
1 must be moved in the first stage
1 of transportation to market, if
any agricultural region is to at
tain the highest degree of pros
perity it is essential athat it shall
be provided with a system of
I improved wagon roads. He citied
illustrations of the advantages of
road improvement in specific
jSouthern localities and quoted
I from a Farmer’s Bulletin issued
by the United States Agricultural
Department an estimate that such
improvement of the wagon roads
in the cotton belt as w'ould reduce
the cost of hauling five per cent j
would mean a saving of near)>
52,000,000 a year to the cotton
s^rower.
After telling pf the progress
I already made in* Alabama, Mr.
Finley emphasized the import-
i ance of each county adopting a
jUefinite plan for road improve-
j J'-ient so as to benefit the largest
'lumber of road users, pointing
Liiat this would involve the
iiiiprovement primarily of the
I'-'ads radiating from a market
ii'wr, or shipping station. He
strongly advised the iriiportance

Cotton, Picking
Maxton, Oct. 10—Mr. Theo
dore H. Price of New York is
spending this week in Maxton
demonstating his famous Price-
Campbell cotton picking ma
chines in the field of Mr. J. Gil
bert Baldwin and others, The
operation of the machines five in
number, is little short of marvd-
ous and many are visiting the
fields to see it at work. Several
pro^essive farmers are interest
ed in the purchase of these ma
chines and will propably place
orders with Mr. Price for them
as soon as they ''an be delivered.
He has sold already ft r delivery
next season 100 of the machines,
which takes the entire output of
the factory, which is as yet limit
ed, Within an honr after cotton
was on the stalk this machine
had picked it and hauled it to
the Elba Manufacturing Com
pany's gin aud put into a bale for
market. It could have been sold
to the exporter and loaded in car
for shipment in a very few more
minutes if record time was tried
for.
There is no qi 3stion apout the
machine being a great success,
and with a very few slight im
provements, which are always
added to such inventions, it will
have attained approximate per
fection.

St. Louis, 6ct. 10.—Judge
Wurdeman, of the St. Louis coun-
ty court, sitting in the Cole
county circuit court to-day, re
fused to grant an injunction to
the repreisentatives of the Repub
lican party to keep tiie names of
the Progressives off the MissouH
ballot.
He ruled that the new parties
can come into being at any time
and have the same rights as the
old established parties, arid con
sequently the names of the state
and national candidates can go
on the ballot for the November
election. '
This ruling is final, unless the
case is appealed to the state
supreme court, and as yet none
of the contestants have stated an
intention of appealing.
The votes of two Republican
members of the St. Louis board
of election eommissioners to-day
defeated a motion to Iprint the
names of . the Progressive can

A Democrat Who Goes To The
Progressives.
The Baltimore Sun under Wash
ington date line of October 2nd,
states that the last man of pro
minence to come out for the.Pro-
gressives is Nathaniel T. Green,
who has been nominated by the
Bull Moose party for Congress
in the second Congressional Dis
trict of Virginia.
According to this report, Mr.
Green's conversion to the Bull
Moose faith is one of the big
surprises of the Virginia politics.
He has always been an anti-mac
hine Democrat, but declared that
he was with Col. Roosevelt be-'
cause Roosevelt stands for reform
in the Courts. Mr. Green re
gards this as one of the vital is
sues in America today. Mr.
Green is a vigorous speaker and
^declared that he will make a
campaign which will stir up things
in tiie Norfolk district.

Requests are cbming^^ to the
National Headquarters from all
over the country for accurate
data on Wilson's labor attitude.
Reference is made to his 1909
speech at Princeton in which he
declared that the tendency of the
modern labor union is to give
employers as ^little labor as pos
sible for the money they receive.
The Labor World in it? Septemb
er issue declares that Wilson is
the enemy of labor, that he is
now trying his best to undo the
affect of his feopinions expressfed
three years ago before he became
the candidate for President.
“From the standpoint of labor
the more that Dr. Wilson, who
is the.Democratic Candidate for
the President of the United
States talks the more t i resome
and i.wish-wishy does become"
says this labor organ,
persists in avoiding the
questions that labor wants him
to answer. He has nev^er hadan
equal in dealing out platitudes
that mean nothing definite and
that please nobody who wants to
know exactly how he stavids on
that burning questions of me day,
He has declined to .face even tne
Democratic platform and has
declared thuL a platform is not a
program. He has gone as far as
to state ythat he wants a relate
tariff for protection, whatever
that may mean, although the
platform that he has beep select
ed to represent definitely declarer
that all protection is unconstitut
ional. The truth is Dr. Wilson
has not in any single in tance
declared himself in any manly or
clear manner that directly con
cerns iabor.”

A product and name, so well known and so closely alii^ that
each suggests the other to growersin Virginia and
Carolitia.
First. The Product, the Biggest and Best crop of the Pie*d^
imoint'Section./ ': ^
Second. Dan ville, the Biggest and Best market for the product.
Third. The Danville Co-Op^ Co., the Biggest
and Best agency for selling it.
All grades are in unusually strong demand, with bright onet
higher than for many years. Bigger averages are being made than
ever before on any market. Wrappers are selling as high as
while cutters are selling as high as $40, and smpkera as high a»
$30. Looks like “Old Times" on our market. : '
Don^t be induced to sell on the smaller markets; you will lose
money if you do. Come to Danville and sell with either Acree’s,
Banner, Central, Holand’s, Planter’s or Union Warehouse.
Look what we did last month (September): The official report
of the President of the Danville Tobacco Association shows the
market average for September, 1912, to be $12.26 per hundred.
OUR AVERAGE WAS $12,82 PER HUNDRED, including prim-
ings, scrap and all grades, showing our average to be 56c more per
hundred than the market average. On the 2,028,018 lbs. sold in
September, this would amount to $ll,412.-90.
Think of it! Figure for yoursel ves and see what a seemingly
small difference in averave, will amount to on a whole crop of thir
ty to thirty-five million pounds.
If we can lead our own market (acknowledged the Biggest and
Best) in this way, what do you suppose we can do against the
smaller markets? Answer: We know the difference will be much
more than enough to pa,y airiy a ddititiohal expense of coming • a
Ionger distance, eilther by freight or wagon; besides, you will have
the satisfaction of KNOWING that you have gotten “To;^ Notch*'
prices..' V:.;'-' ''i ^ /
Now, if you will consider this matter from a: standpoint of dol
lars and cents (and that too in your own pocket) we know you will
agree with us, and therefore we say you should sell with us if you
want HIGHEST'PRICES, BIGGEST AVERAGES and BEST AO
COvrODATIONS.
