COUNTY AGENT SECURED.
To trhe People of North Carolina:
Every citizen in North Carolina is
vitally interested in cotton. Though
a man may live on a mountain top
or on the seashore, where cotton is
neither grown nor manufactured, his
welfare s- deeply touched by the
staple that contributes so enormous
ly to the wealth of the State.
The present cotton situation is dis
tressing. The crop was made on a
basis of 35c a pound and is now sell
ing for 22c. The situation of the
manufacturers" is as precarious as
that of the farmers. They have much
high-priced cotton and cotton goods
on hand. They made their contracts
and employed their labor on the basis
of high prices, and today they can
find no market for their goods.
All good men in every walk of life
will desire to relieve these distress
ing conditions. Measures must be
devised for holding the . cotton we
have, and reducing the acreage of the
next crop. To this end, a great Cot
ton Convention was held in Raleigh
on the 11th day of February, and
the Governor was requested to ap
point a committee of seven men to
take charge of a campaign for hold
ing the cotton we now have and for
reducing by at least one-third the
next crop. I have appointed on this
committee the following gentlemen:
C. D. Orrell, chairman, Moncure; W.
G. Clark, Tarboro; S. H. Hobbs, Clin
ton; J. Z. Green, Marshville; G. N.
Newsome, Goldsboro; E. B. Crow,
Raleigh; O. L. Clarke, Clarkton.
February 22d is Washington's birth
day, and will be celebrated as North
Carolina Day in every public school
in the State. A most attractive pro
gram for the day has been prepared
by the State Department of Educa
tion I earnestly urge every teacher
in a district where cotton is grown to
have some farmer explain to the peo
pie on the 22d day of February the
exact cotton situation, and get them
interested in the campaign to hold
and reduce.
At every school-house let delegates
be selected to attend the great Cot
ton Convention which is to be held
in every courthouse in the cotton belt
of the State on Wednesday, February
26th, for the purpose of thoroughly
organizing the county. I beg all good
citizens, farmers, manufacturers,
bankers, and men of all classes and
conditions to attend this meeting at
the county courthouse on Wednesday,
February 26th, to the end that the
common sense and judgment of the
people may be pooled and the wisest
measures possible devised to meet the
distressing and demoralizing situa
tion that now confronts our people
T. W. BICKETT, Governor,
This the 15th day of Feb., 1919
Aberdeen, N. C., 2-24-19.
Sheriff W. H. Turlington, Lillington,
N. C.
Dear Sir: I have at last secured
for Harnett County a man whom I
think will give to the farmers very
satisfactory service. He has been
employed in the U. S. department
service for the last several months as
emergency field agent giving atten
tion more especially to livestock
work. In our opinion, he is well
qualified for county agent work, both
from the standpoint of special train
ing and practical everyday knowledge
of farm work. He is of the farmer
type, and I think will mix well with
farmers. His training and education
qualify him for scientific as well as
practical work on the farm. The time
has come when farmers are demand
ing of the county agent information
and help that can only be given by
men who have been specially trained
in the agricultural schools and col
leges of this country. Please notify
your people as rapidly as possible,
that the new man will be in the coun
ty ready for work just as soon as his
appointment can be made effective.
I will meet him at Lillington and re
main with him for a few days to help
in organizing the work. While we
will work perhaps along a great many
ines of farm activities, yet we pur
pose to outline a few very definite
lines of work in the county, and to
push those projects to a definite con
elusion. When I visit the eounty, I
shall want a conference with a few
of the leaders of your county, in
order to advise with them on a defi
nite plan of work that will best meet
the needs of the farmers of the
county. T. D. McLEAN,
District Agent.

DEATH OF MRS. EDGAR F. Mc-
NEILL.
Mr. C. A. McNeill received a let
ter from his brother, Rev. Edgar F.
McNeill of Garden City, Kans., ad
vising him of the death of his wife,
Mrs. Alice McNeill, which occurred
Feb. 16. The deceased was the moth
er of six children, three boys and
three girls, the youngest a babe of 12
days. The husband of the deceased
is the son of the late Dr. W. M. Mc
Neill of Harnett County, and the only
surviving brother of Mr. C. A. Mc
Neill of our town. The oldest son
of the deceased is in the United
States Navy and had sailed for Brest,
France, three days prior to his
mother's death, this being the 14th
trip to France. Mr. Ernest writes
his ship is heavily laden with soldier
boys eager to return to their native
soil.
Mr. Edgar McNeill is well known
throughout the county and has rela
tives and friends who will share his
sorrow in this his saddest hour.
