"WE MUST HANG TOGETHER,
OR HANG SEPARATELY.'
This forceful proposition applies
with emDhasis to tbe business men
of Louisbursf. A very real crisisjson
fronts the town and it is for our own
, citizens to determine whether Louis--
burg shall remain simply .5a village
on the Tar" or take on hew life and
assume its rightful position among
the thrifty, progressive towns of the
State. " ..-..
This depends on co-operation.
Let our wise men put their heads to
gether. Let a spirit of harmony and
mutual helpfulness pervade te tows.
We have rare advantages.

We believe this system is the equal
of any in the State in its efficiency.
With all these modern advantages
and surrounded by a country of rare
natural fertility there is no reason
why Louisburg sbonld not be the

FROM PANACEA
(Editorial Correspondence)
The big write up" in the Raleigh
NewtObserver of Panacea Springs,
the fine hotel, fcc, a few days ago,
gave a pretty good description ot the
"bonanza," but in. oqler for oue to
realize what Panacea is it is neces
sary to mtke a visit here. For over
twenty-five or thirty years we have
heard that the "Panacea Water"
was a cure for various ailments, and
that many who came hre almost in
yalids went away thoroughly curea,
and are today singing its praises.
This writer believes that he will be
able to do likewise, as already he
designation.
Farming is a business, and to be
made profitable must be gone at in a
business way. The farmer whose on
ly aira it is to tee how much land he
catr: cultivate or how manV ' bales of
cotton be can raise, is not likely to
make his farming permanently profit
able. Th good farmer's first con
sideration in any line of his work it

and he does not count profits until
he? has paid tor the labor expended
in the growing and marketing of the
crop, the interest oo the monoy in
vested in it, the wear of t'ie too's

Many farmer have no idea of how
much any of these thin s amount to,
and consequently bo intelligent idea
of. the cost of. their crop9. They
have no way of comparing with any
accuracy the profits from one crop
with tK3e from another, and too of
ten they -have no idea of how to
adjust the different branches ot farm
work to each other so as to get the.
most out of each. The result is that
they go along in a haphazard manner
without any definite plans or any
real understanding of tbo work in
' which they are engaged.

1st. A knitting mill. It does not
require much capital.
2nd. A small up-to-date machine

plow factory.
3rd. A small smoking tobacco
factory. This does not take much
capital and we are in the very midst
ot the finest smoking tobacco in the
world.
