THE BEST WEEKLY IN THE
UNITED STATES.
The Reporter expects to begiu
the first of August issuing the best
local weekly newspaper in the
United States. We have purchas
ed a Babcock cylinder press, an
Eclipse folding machine, a Chan
dler-Price jobber, and a Relittnce
paper cutter. The latter has al
ready arrived ; the other machines
will be in as soon as the factories
can furnish them.
The Babcock newspaper press is
the best press on the market. It
is uoiseless in its operations, hav
iug ball bearings, air springs, and
all the accessories of a modern
printing machine. It is capable
of a speed of 2,500 per hour
The folder is the best of its class
and will fold either 4, fi, 8, 10 or
12 page papers at the rate of
nearly 3,000 per hour. The job
press is also the best make of ma
chines, and its coming means that
our capacity for handling job work
will be equal to any plant in the
country.
This equipment means a con
siderable outlay of misney, and
will furnish us with an oiiice
equal to any in North Carolina,
and the friends of the Reporter
everywhere we feel sure will take
pride in the fact that old Stokes
will be at the front in the news
paper and printing business.
We will tell you more about our
plans later on. In the meantime,
every good word or act that our
friends and patrons can say or do
for the paper will bo appreciated.
A SHORT TOBACCO CROP.
Reports from every section and
neighborhood of Stokes county
indicate a great shortage of tobac
co plants, and the best judges are
now free to admit that the crop, as
far as this county is concerned,
will be the shortest for a great
many years. This should not be
a cause for loss of sleep by onr
farmer friends, as scarce supply
will do more to raise the price than
any other factor, and the net result
will be about the same as if every
farm produced its full quota.
Soldiers Who Lost a Limb To Get
$l2O.
The last Legislature amended
the pension law by giving SI2OOO
to all Confederate soldiers who lost
a limb during the civil war. A
number of the Stokes veterans will
come in under this law.

BIG FARMERS MEETING.
The North Carolina and Virginia As
sociations Have An Interesting
Meeting In Danville. Va.
The Farmers' Protective As
sociation of Virginia and North
Carolina met at Danville, \ a , last
week with an attendance of about
800 farmers representing the to
bacco growing districts of the two
States. Among other things it
was decided to continue the oper
ation of the warehouses, which
were started a year ago under the
auspices of the association, where
the farmers can place their tobac
co to be held until a price deemed
just by a special committee is
offered for the product and the
sale made privately. This is one
of the means of fighting the tobac
co trust.
It was decided to raise a fund of
$30,000 by popular subscription
in order to advance money to farm
ers on their growing crops. The
tobacco trust has so depres
sed the price of the leaf that to
bacco growing, once a profitable
industry, has become very un
profitable, and many leaf markets
have been entirely destroyed. The
trust controls the market and it
not only depresses the price of the
farmers' product but fixes its own
price on the manufactured prod
uct. To help themselves the farm
ers have formed associations and
in some instances have established
independent manufacturing plants
but the best plan seems to be the
warehouse system suggested, sim
ilar to the cotten warehouse sys
tem which the cotton farmers are
inaugurating, and by which the
tobacco planters are enabled toco
operate in holding their leaf until
they think the proper price is
offered for it.
Death Of Mr. W. C. Matthews.

prominent citizen of Walnut Cove,

Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at
the advanced age of 72 yeaas. Mr.
Matthews had been in declining
health for some time. The deceas
ed leaves a wife and one child.

How To Fight the Tobacco Trust.
It is reported that the tobacco
farmers of North Carolina and
Virginia are beginning to mate
rialize plans for controlling the
prices of leaf tobacco by a ware- 1 ,
house system like that the cotton
farmers are so successfully putting
into operatiun. 
It is to be hoped that the to
bacco growers will take action i
along this line, or rather that the .
citizens of the tobaoco raising
counties will push the movement 
for, like the cotton warehouse agi- |
tation, it is not of the farmers, but
rather of all the people of the
couuties that produce the raw ma- \
terial.
If the thing is feasible with cot-1
ton, it looks as if it ought to be
practicable with tobacco as well. (
In both cases it is merely a ques- .
tion of advancing a little cash
capital upon absolute security, j
There is a warehouse already at
Danville, and there the organiza
tion is going a step farther than
the cotton organizations have
gone, namely, raising a fund from
which advances may be made to
the farmers on their growing
crops, so as to remove even the
incentive to sell at a price below
the minimum agreed upon.
Here we have an example of the
ouly really effective way to fight
the tobacco monopoly, or any
other monopoly, for the matter of
that. Organization must be met
with organization. It is all very
well to have laws made against
trusts, but the most stringent and
just laws in the world are not lia
ble to avail much if the people
who make them keep on doing ex
actly what the trust folks want
them to do. As long as the to
bacco farmers keep on selling their j
tobacco to the trust at the prices
the trust names for them, those
farmers might as well save them-;
selves the trouble of passing laws
against the tobacco trust. The
people generally get what they j
are willing to have. If the com
munity does not like the methods
of the tobacco trust, all it has to
idois to stop supporting it. But
the community must stand to
gether. The farmer can't fight the
trust alone. And all the citizens
of a county can contribute to a
warehouse fund without any class
feeling it to any appreciable ex
tent, and then the farmer who
can't afford to hold his tobacco till
the price offered suits him, can
store it and get cash on his ware
house receipts. The world will
have tobacco, if not on the trust's
terms, then on the farmer's.—Ral
eigh Times.

Plant Peas and Sorghum.
With hay selling in our markets
at $25 per ton cash, and heing j
shipped in from the West in large j
quantities, it is the clear duty of |
every farmer, large or small, ten- (
ant, cropper or landlord, to pro-1
vide a way through the couiiug;
months to sow a few acres in for-1
age so as to harvest a good yield j
of hay tbis fall. There is no better!
combination crop for this purpose
than peas and sorghum sown to
gether. Just a few acres of land
well prepared and fertilized will
yield an astonishing amount of
forage. One bushel of peas and a
peck of sorghum sown br> adeast
to the acre and harrowed in during
the months or May or June, will
pay a tremendous profit on the in
vestment.
If the peas cannot be secured,
then plant all sorghum or German
millet. No man who raises cot
! ton at present prices can afford to
' buy western hay at $25 to S3O per
! ton upon which to feed his stock.
It wipes out all the|profit of the
cotton crop to buy such supplies,
and we had better plant n fe«
j acres less in cotton and practice a
little more extensive diversifi
cation. Plant peas and sorghum
with which to fill your barn lofts
next fall.—Cotton Journal.
