This Association Meets in Conjunc
tion with Southern Commercial
Coniress?Some very Important
Topics to be Discussed.
Norfoll^ Vs., Nov. 29?Cotton's
relation to International recon
struction after the European war
will be one of the serioua questions
to be considered at the eighth an
nual convention of the Southern
Commercial Congress, which will
be Ijeld in Norfolk Dec. 11 t.? 14.
The future of cotton, particularly
its status after the war, is of such
moment that Hon. E. J. Watson
o'f South Carolina, presidentof the
Southern Cotton Congress, has is
sued a call for an extraordinary
session of that bodv to lie held in
conjunction with the Commercial
Coniress.
The Southern Cotton Growers
Association, President Harvie
Jordan, also will hold its annual
conventiflh in connection with the
Congress. Tuesday, Dec. 12, will
be" Cotton Day" and in addition
to participation by their officers
and members in- the Southern
Commerial Congress sessions of
that day the Southern Cotton Con
gress and the Southern Cotton
Growers Association will conduct
sei>arste programs.
The relotion of cotton to Inter
national Reconstruction is intelli
gently outlined by Hon. E. J. j
Watson in the following call for
the extraordinary session of the
Cotton Congress: ^ ,
"The eighth annual convention <
of the Southern Gimmercial Con- t
gress is to be held in Norfolk, (
Vs., December 11-14, 1916. and ,
the series of sessions will be de- ,
voted, not only to the most prac- t
tical consideration of the vital |
questions relating to agricultural j
education, to the nduatrics and to (
commerce, but to an interpretation ,
of the relation of the United States ,
to international reconstruction j
following the close of the world (
war, which has in so many ways ,
affected American commerce and ;
ludustry. It is the purpose during ,
these sesiotis to review conditions ,
as they exist today, and looking ;
to the futuie< to build a program |
that will meet the exigencies of <
tremendously changed economic 1
conditions at the close of the world |
war.
"Homing t::at America possess
es was more hfleeted by the out
break of tips European war than
cotton; nothing will be of more i
concern to the future prosperity of i
the nation than the future of i
American cotton. It lus there
fore been suggested to me that it
will be the part of wiudom for the ,
cotton grow/era^of the South, and
for men interested and concerned
in the present and future of cot
ton, to come together on the sec
ono day of these general sessions,
i for the porpose of taking up all
questions relating to the cotton
problem, and taking such action
looking to the enactment of nat
ional legislation or co-operative
effort as may be deemed best.
''The last session of the South
ern Cotton Congress was held in
the city of Washington, commenc
ing on August 13, 1914: The
Southern Cotton Congress never
meets except when there is an
emergency call for decisive action.
"Another session of the United
States Congress is soon to con
vene. and I believe that .it is not on
ly proper and timely, but neces
sary that the representative men
of the cotton' belt States Should
assemble and discus^ all these prob
lems in their relation to internat
ional reconstruction,
"Accepting the auggestion of
the officers of the Southern Com
mercial Congress, I hereby call an
extraordinary session of the
Southern Cotton Congress to be
held in the city of Norfolk, Va.,
beginning at 8 P. M. on Decem
ber the 12, 1016, All members of
Southern Congress, including
business men and banders of the
South and all individual growers
who mav be aufficently interested^
are hereby invited to attend thie
extraordinary session of tlie Con
gress."

TO HAVE A RARE TREAT
^ Chapel Hill. N. C.. Nov. 28.
\ large number of the newsoaper
iditors of the state are going to
step down fur a while from their
?ditorial desk and get together at
.he University in December for
Fellowship and helnful discussion,
f one is to judge from the number
if letters now coming in to the lo
?al management from over the
state. And not only are the ed
tors coming, but the reporters,
.he newspaper owners, the busi
neas managers, heads of schools of
journalist, men in the allied trades
tnd special correspondents are all
loing to meet for the exchange of
deas. Special programs have been
prepared to meet the needs of each
:Lss of newspaper folkr-ifid the
University is planning to * enter
tain all to the beet of its ability.
Though a winter Newspaper
Institute for study is somewhat
new in North Carolina, it is not
new in the middle and far western
itates, where often a week is set
iside for just this purpose, and
the editors come together by the
hundreds. In Missouri, the state
from which Walter Williams
comes to this meeting with val
uable suggestions, the journalists
hold a conference of several days
at the state University each win
ter. The same is true of Kansas,
of Wisconsin, of Washington and
of Texas, all along with a dozen
or more of others. The purpose
of the Institute will be for study,
and it is held in an atmosphere
conducive to study. All the re
sources of the University will be
available. Care will also be taken
that the journalists have a good
time, and the committee has pro
vided something interesting for
every day. Some of the editors
have written'that they would re
gard it as a calamity to miss any
of the program.

social season was given in Hie
large new tobacco warehouse here

Cotillion Club. The floor of this

acterized the one previous was en

anese lanterns. Hanging kerosene
lamps and gasoline lights supplied
light for'.he occasion..in the ab
sence of electric lights. Music
was furnished by an orchestra

nine o'clock, the first figure being

Adviae* Against Gluttony and |
Urfes Everybody to Take Plenty jj
of Exercise. .. |
?
Dog fanciers liave long noted I
that when a house-dog begins to ? I
gci fat and wheezy it is oretty a|A,
to be attacted bv a stubborn akin
disease. In such ? case they cut
down the diet and increase the
ojiet. air exercise, thug relieving
the over burdened body of poison
ous substances.
The sin of gluttony is common
and therefore much condoned,
but like every other violation of
Nature's laws has a penalty. Fat
inefficiency, sluggish mentally,
the reddened nose, the pimpled
face, certain of the chronic skin
eruptions, and much fatigue and
nervousness are due to the abuse
of the digestive apparatus. Rich,
indigestible foods in large quanti
ties, highly seasoned to stimulate
the jaded palate, are forced into a
body already rebellious from re
pletion Exercise is largely limit
ed to walking to and from the
table and bodily deterioation pro
ceeds rapidly. Many an overfed
dyspeptic, suddenly dragged by
the stern hand of circumstance
from a life of physical ease and'
plenty and forced to work out of
doors suddenly discovers that his
semi-invaldism has gone, that a
chronic skin derangement of many
years standing has dissapeared and B
that a new vigor and zest of life B
has been given him. ?
Not everyone can spend bis "
whole time m'tbe open air but a ,
certain amount of exercise and 2
plain wholesome food in an amount 4
not exceeding the body's needs i
can be had by almost everyone, f
Simple moderate diet and exercise 1
make for health, These are not ^
faddish food theories; they are i
just plain common sense. i
