GOING AFTER IT.
Very few things worth while come
to any of us at this day and time
without going after it, and going
hard. For the past two seasons it has
totu a well-known fact that the Tobotco
Growers Association was not
, receiving the amount of tobacco which
ahanld be delivered here, and we want
to congratulate the officers of this
11 Asportation who- are making such
strenuous efforts to bring tobacco to
I this delivery point. If they do not succeed
it will not be because they have
n* made an earnest effort. We con,
gratulate them for' their work and
ie uie oenvenes nere this year
will show the fruits of their efforts.
! 'H the independent warehouses will
only fal in line and make equally as
untiring efforts we shall see this
Iwadtet show a great increase in namher
of pounds handled here, by both
plana.
(There should not be any fight between
the two plans, for those who
deliver to the Association can not sell
the independent way, neither can the
iKc.. independent farmer?that is, the
farmer who is not a member of the
Association, sell with the co-op warehoose,
for after the first day of delivery,
September 23rd, you can not
join the Assoiration if you want to.
We are all good citisens. looking to
f the prosperity of our own town and
County, wanting to help build up the
t- County religiously, morally and educationally,
and the only way we can
do this is to stick to home folks. So,
I whether you sell openly or deliver to
the co-ops, bring your tobacco to
Bpxbero, deal with your friends and
jr let's all forget those hard things each
has said about the other?we be
L brethren.
USE GOOD JUDGMENT.
trv . We wish we could impress upon every
farmer in this County the necessity
of showing good judgment in
handling Ms-money this year. Many,
we regret to say, are very much in
Mt, have carried some of these
debts over for two, or three, years
and the first duty you owe?aftei
providing for the necessities of your
? , family, is to pay something on these
debts. Of course, we know, many are
is debt through no negligence on theii
pert, but owing to peculiar circurcstanees
over which they had no central.
It looks as if this was going U
r ~ be a good crop year, both for tobacco
and cotton, and from the way tobacco
is selling in the Eastern part oi
the State it looks as if it will bring t
good price. We see it stated in th<
papers this morning that it is aver,
aging five centa a pound more on thi
| Kinston market than it averaged r
year ago. Cotton shows every sigt
of selling well.
Bnt what will all of this mean t<
fyou. unless you use good judgment ir
spending yonr -money. It matters no
how much any one makes, so long ai
one spends more than his income, s<
long will that one be hard up, and i!
Is oaly a question of time untU thr
sheriff will sell him ont, either foi
debts doe some one or taxes due th<
comity. ,
Wo want to see the firmer havt
jut am many comfort* and conveniences,
and just an good automobile!
aa any ona?for be deserves it, bo!
E? " good judgment just now says "pay
jronr debts," and get out from undei
-flsedbomb of yam1 l'IwIiIui. and (ben

party will stay off of it. Unless all
signs fail?and they do in dry weather,
this pet measure of the Governor
is going to be buried ao deep it will
be hard to awaken on the morning
when Gabriel blows his horn.
We are amused at some of the
silly stuff put out by both political
parties along about this time of n
campaign year. For instance the manager
of President Coolidge's campaign
says it is generally conceded,
and known by leading Democrats,
that Mr. Davia will run third in the
presidential race, Mr. LaFollette beinur
second. Of course e?e
a thimble full of brains, knows that
Mr. LaFollette will not get as many
votes in the entire Nation as Mr
Davis will get in the South.

triers cost as much as hats. We will have no trimmer here- fa
after. The cost of the trimmer will be taken off the price I
of the hats. You never saw a prettier line of hats in Roxboro
