FARMERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION'S PLAN
Wants the Peopie to Take Stock in Tobacco Facto
ries--Members to Stick Till
Relief Comes.
To all those who are interested
directly or indirectly in better
prices for leaf tobacco :
The prices of tobacco for the
past few years have been below
the cost of production, if we place
any value on the farmer's work
(say one dollar per day ). Every
industry seoms to be on a boom
at this time except tobacco. Pros
perity seems to be abroad in the
land and every clas3 enjoying the j
good fruits thereof except those]
who grow tubaooo. What is thej
trouble ? We find by investiga
tion that the price of our tobacco
is controlled almost entirely by j
one concern. They Hs the price
without even consulting those who
dig it out of the earth. Millions
upon top of millions of dollars are
made each yei\r by the Trust out
of tha leaf tobacco which the
farmers produce, while he, the
farmer, barely gets a living out of
it.
There is no justice in this con
dition of afYain, and the remedy is
! in perfect organisation and con-
Icert of action. We, therefore, urgo
l every farmer in the State, together
| with every other man who feeis an
I interest in the farmer, to join the
| Association at once and to stick to
jit until relief comes, which cer
j tainly will not be long if we are
I determined.
After organization we want to
build and operate one or more to
bacco factories by popular sub
scriptions for the purpose of creat
ing honest competition, said com
petition to be made profitable and
lasting by concert of actiou. These
factories are to "be run on strictly
business principles, the best talent
that can be had will be employed
in each department in order that
goods as good as that turned out
by any other concern, regardless
of size or location, will be given
the public. With nothing but
modern methods pursued and ex
ports employed in the conduct of
these factories, all backed up by
the great army of tillers of the
soil, we cannot imagine how the
enterprise can fail, and, therefore,
think it a safe investment not only
for the farmer, but for all others
who have mouey to invest. The
shares in the corporations ate fixed
at five dollars each in order that
every man may be able to become
a stockholder and then
cause along.
After -une hundred thousand
dollars has been subscribed, which
is necessary before one factory can
be started, each subscriber to
stock will be required to pay in
one-third of his subscription, and
the other two-thirds in two and
four months, thus making it easy
on everybody and enabling a great
many to take more shares than
they would if the entire amount
had to be paid down in cash at
one time.
Every man who occupies a posi
tion in any other class is vitally in
terested for we know that profitable
prioes for the farmor for what he
produces means prosperity to the
entiro country, since he, the form
er, is the foundation upon which
is orected all prosperity.
We, therefore, invite each and
every one to join us in all honest
effort to loosen the grip which
Trust has upon the people of the
, State.
To say we can't tiuoceed, is
doubting tho good faith of tho
people in their opposition to
trusts. The managers of the cor
poration will be required to gfVe
justified bonds in sufficient sum to
guarantee the stockholder against
loss by wrong-doing.
In order that we may be fully
understood, we will say that the
aim and purpose of tho Associa
tion is to improve the condition of
the farmers without harm or hurt
to any other class. To say that we
should not put forth every honest
effort within bur grasp to obtain
for our tobacco each and every
year at prices that will give us a
reasonable profit above the cost of
production, is to say that the great
army of tobacco raisers, together
with many others who arc depend
ent upon them for a livelihood
must spend the remainder of their
dnys in poverty and permit thoir
c lildron to grow up iu ignorance.
We can, by thorough organiza
tion, tlx the price of our tobacco,
aud it is to the interest of our fam
ilies, ourselves and our State that
wo do it.
Let us get together and stick to
gether like true American citizens,
and the time will soon come when
the wealth-producers will enjoy a
just proportion of thd luxuries of
life.

Save A
Every man who is obliged to
work for his living sihould make a
point to lay up a little money for
that "rainy day" which we all are
liable to encounter when least ex
, pected. The best way to do this
!is to open an account with a sav
j ings bank. Accumulated money
;is always safe; it is alw.ays ready
Ito use when needed. Scrape to
I gether five dollars, make your de
posit, receive your bank book, and
resolve to deposit a given sum,
small though it be, once a month,
'or once a week, according to cir
cumstances, No body knows
! without trying it, how easy it i»
|to save money when an account
with a bank has been opened.
With such an account a man feels
a desire to enlarge hist deposit,
i It gives him lessons in frugality
and economy, weans him from
habits of extravagance, and is the
very best guard in the world
against intemperance, dissipation,
i and vice.
The Bank of Stokes County lias
r largo uumber of young men and
women, from all sections of the
county, now kppping their savings
in its vaults, and every week their
savings are growing larger, and
the depositors more satisfied that
early banking is the best thing a
young person, whether male or fe
male, practice.
