The Reidsville Review Wants the
Farmers to Build a Warehouse
in Rockingham.
There is one policy to which the
Farmers' Protective Association of
this county is committed that
promises more than anything else
its abundant success in the matter
of securing a fair price for tobacco
—that of building steam prizeries,
this plant is yet in its infancy, but
it has already reached the point of
demonstrating its ralue in making
effective the holding movement.
One of these warehouses has been
in operation in Danville for about
a year and it will make an inter
esting report at an early date.
Iron-clad agreements wereontered
into between the farmers in that
community to place their tobacco
on storage and not offer it on the
the market until a price is reached
that meets with the approval of
the State branch of the Farmers'
Association. Their warehouse is
owned wholly by the members of
the association, is bonded, and
thus the receipts for tobacco be
come negotiable paper upon which
the holder may secure about one
half the market value of the weed
atthe time it is stored, and the bal
ance when sold.
It is said that the farmers who
have tobacco in the Danville ware
house will average sls" per hun
dred for their last crop, while
those who sold in the old way re
ceived $lO per hundred pounds.
It is claimed by members of the
association that the plan is sure,
ultimately, to give them a power
which will place in the hands of
the producer the absolute control
of his product, and more than that,
it will mean before long the in
troduction of a sj stem of direct
trade between the producer and
the manufacturer, the
profits that have heretofore gone
to the middle man will go where
they belong—to the makers of the
crop.
They say that if intelligently
carried out this plan will afford al
most immediate results, and as to
the future it is pregnant with the
farmer's emancipation from every
jsort of financial bondage with
which he is now oppressed.—

DEATH OF JULIA BOYLES.
Pinnacle, April 5.
Mr. Editor :
I want to relate to you the death
and burial of Julia Boy lea, who
died March 27, 1907. She suffered
severely for a few days only pre
vious to her death. She was born
May 4, 1840, and lived to be t>6
years, 10 months and 23 days..She
has been a consistent member of
Volunteer Primitive Baptist
Church for about 38 years. She
was very consecrated to herohurch
meetings, and would always attend
when weather and health would
permit. The funeral and burial
services were held at her home —
the home of her brother, D. F.
Boyles, Thursday, March 28, by
Elders Gabriel Denny, W. M.
Stone and H D. Mickey.
Aunt Jnlia leavea two brothers
Messrs. C. C. and D F. Boyles and
two sisters, Mrs. T. M. Lawson
and Mrs. J. A. Gordon, and a host
of kindred and friends to mourn
their loss ; but our loss, we hope,
will be her eternal gain.
Aunt Julia has been almost as
a mother to me, as she nursed me
when I was a child, and alwa>s
seemed to care for me and would
do anything for me that was in
her power. It was very sad news
to me when I received a message
(I being off in school) from home
stating that she was dead. I can
only speak for myself and say that
I will miss her very much, but
hope to meet her in the great be
yond where farewell tears are
never shed and friends never say
goodbye.
A very serious accident occurred
near Pinnacle on Friday night,
March 22, when little Ray Pratt,
the 11-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Pratt, was burned to
death while pouring kerosene oil
on the fire in order to make a
light. The oil can exploded, and
when the mother reached the
scene her little boy was about
wrapped in flames. The child'b
