THE WARREN. RECORD FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, i9l9 good' oif the pocket , book and the fi nancial prosperity of the whole South The co-operation of the business in terest will make this possible. SECOND PAGE 'My Country Tin of Theo, Swtti f Liberty." THE WARREN RECORD Telephone Number 17. W. BRODIE JONES Editor & Manager HOWARD F. JONES Owner & Contributing Editor T. J. TAYLOR, D. D. Contributing Editor Entered at the Post office at War renton, N. C, as second-class matter under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. AT TH) PEACE TABLE Who shall sit at sit at the table, then, when the terms of peace are made The wisest men of the troubled lands in their silver and gold brocade? Yes, they shall gather in solemn state to speak for each living race, But who shall speak for the unseen dead that shall come to the coun cil place? Tho' you see them not and you hear them not they shall sit at tne table, too; They shall throng the room where the peace is made and know what it is you do; The innocent dead from the sea shall rise to stand at the wise man s side, And over his shoulder a boy shall look a boy that was crucified. You may guard the doors of that coun cil hall with barriers strong and stout, But the dead, unbidden shall enter there, and never you'll shut them out. And the man that died in the open boat, and the babies that suffered worse, Shall sit at the table when peace is made by the side of a martyred nurse. You may see them not, but they'll ail be there, when they speak you may fail to hear; You mak think that you're making your pacts alone, but their spirits will hover near; And whatever the terms of the peace you make with the tyrant whose hands are red, You must please not only the living here, but must satisfy your dead. Edgar A. Guest, in Literary Digest. s Concrete curbirigguttei b ri" every street in town and asphalt around the Court House and ,thru town on ? Main street. That's the program we want. Means of obtaining it are at hand. CHAMBER COMMERCE TONIGHT The Chamber of Commerce will meet tonight at eight o'clock for the discussion by the people of the city of several measures important and far reaching in results. To reiterate the value of everyone's attendance and co-operation is but the old story forever true that success is born only when people united in pur pose come together for the good ot all. The sphere of service of this body is great, and it is to be hoped that earnest co-operation and loyal at tendance will guarantee the erection of a hotel, the improvements of our streets and the erection of a good school building. HOLD TO THAT COTTON That the law of supply and demand determine prices is as sure as death is certain. The many other phases which enter into the control of the price of cotton all hark back to this law. Though seemingly the staple is headed for the bottom rung of the lad uer and the market is as uncertain as fancy, there must be a rise in prices soon or late. America needs cotton and the demand will become urgent as soon as the "slack in the line of trade" is drawn taut. Demand will make its voice heard if the farmer sits steady in the boat, plans now to reduce his acreage and learn thru the press of necessity the advantages of diversified farming and living at home. The crop of the past year is short, there is no great amount of cotton in the" hands of the manufacturers, cot ton goods are bringing the price which justifies thirty-five cents, at the least. It is up to the agricultural interests to play the safe game by decreased cotton acreage and increased food, stuffs; to hold to every bale of cotton until the market reaches thirty cents and to guarantee to, every cotton farmer a just emoulent of the labor and money invested. The demand will force the prices up if the acreage of this year's crop is held down. Hold to every lock of the staple for the Mrs. Sallie Twitty Entertains U. D. C.
