Rev. J. U. Teague* made a telling

A motion, in the interest of time,

adopted by the meeting. The Chair
appointed Messrs. T. W. Ruffln, J.
U. Teague. D. G. Pearce. J. C. Jon
es, J. L. Byron, K. E. Gupton, W.
y.. Rogers. i
:.ir,/Q. W. Ford was quite enthus
i:.t" <? in his Ideas of relief and pre
sents 1 some good advice and plans.
The most outstanding idea was to
raise half a million dollafs equip
- factories and manufacture cigarettes
from our own weed and sell the fln
~ ished product .
Capt. I. H. Kearney suggested th
at the farmers hold t heir tobacco as
? long as possible nad then market It
siowly.
.Mr. J. ti^? McKenile suggested a
liTT. JQMV gaVe?^^?teT^a
organizing,
sult^ that could be obtained .
"The Commltte on Resolutions were
? amiuuucwd. ? Chairman RuBiii uf the
committee^ (befor^ reading the resrf
lutlons took -oecaslon to implore the
farmtmn he reasonable, that there
was nothing toTgain _ in unreason
ableness, stating that the farmers
had been sinned aga+?et, but that
through well guided cooperation bet
ter.condltions could be brought about
The resolutions submitted follows:
We the tobacco growers of Frank
lin County being assembled and after
due deliberation are resolved:
e That whereas all other lines ot in
\dustry are showing unparalled thrift
and prosperity, labor getting the high
est "wages in human history, manu
facturers admittedly making profits in
numerou&x cases 200 per cent on the
capital stock annually, all of which
make the cost of living higher for the
farming people, and whereas we take
It as admitted that the fanner is en
titled to his Bhare of prosperity and
at least to a decent living wage,
Now, therefore we the tobacco grow
ers of Franklin County in mass meet
ing assembled in the town of Louis
burg do hereby promulgate and pled
ge our earnest support to the follow
ing resolutions adopted by the Vance
County tobacco growers :
"First. That In tne production we
have stood between the elements and
the rest of the world; we have carri
ed all risks to date, and have already
accounted for attendant loses, so we
do now resent and protest against
any tendencies ot those controlling
the price of our tobacco In as much
as said persons or corporations have
run no risk in the piudnuUOBbf the
crop, and stand no risk ot losing If
the farmers are paid a fair price.
"Second. In view of the fact that
the manufacturers and. dealers are in
creasing their wealth In these days ot
prosperity all we ask of the commer
cial world Is a square deal ? an op
portunity to lay by some accumula
tions for ourselves ind families. We
desire to live and let live. We have
mmwMMMppoiMOTammimp
nor for our pleasure, but in th? hope
ot profit Our product* are. tot sale
but we are determined not to sacri
fice the rsult of onr toll upon the al
tar <4- s??sMlal?n' greed.
"Third. That we are willing to of
fer our tobacco upon the open market
provided only that the trade is will
ing to allow us a good living profit;
otherwise, we shall feel compelled to
call upon producers everywhere and
of every class to come to our aid in aa
effort to close the doors ot the pack
ing houses until the markets ot tha
world may Indicate a disposition to
deal with ua In a }uqt mWfi*?r.
"Fourth. That we further advise
,the fanners to pret>are their tobacco
In a good merchantable condition and
-market as uniformly as possible 8(T
that the market will not be flooded at
any one time.
"Fifth. We furthermore request
that' our brother farmers throughout
the bright leaf district call district or
county meetings and take similar ac
tion Immediately.
Ih sddltioa w* adopt the following
Of our oirti: , , . r
We MMuUiid that A permanent
organtiatlon eonslstfng 'ot all farm,
?A Nmkeri'a?d time merchant* of
'WU county be formed with the ftuh
pom of protfctlng the farmer In tk*
present and all future tobacco crisis.
That thtl organization cOuslst ot , a
permanent Chairman, a secretary, and
executive comnMtttgr which shall' o oft,'
?let Of-dt least one member from each
tovnshlo In the county.
_ uTbat we earnestly, request 'that the
spirit Of co-operation be encouraged
? wfl m lutr foeunrarena tnfit && or
ganlfcatfon fOr the entire bright to
bsceo belt of this state be effected 'to
advise with and assist the tobacco tar
mere In the sale of their tobacco and
to protect them against iny further
crisis In fh?. tobacco market
We further recommend that these
resolution* be published In the Frank
Un Timet.
Mr. W. M. Person rose to. amend
the resolution* to the effect that no
tobacco be put on th& market until
the price* become -satisfactory to the
farmer. In his argument in defense
of his amendment be stated subs tan tl
ally that.no farmer should sell his to
bacco for these prices, but should
keep It at home and If the merchant
pressed him to giro bond and tight It
out In Court, that It would take two
yfeara to get It Into Court and then a
jury would give him the verdict. Ha
also expressed himself as thinking
that the Vederal Reserve, system was
responsible for tight money and that
the tobacco Interests had met and set
the prlceto they would pay. His re
marks In regard to resisting the pay
' ment of accounts brought forth much
comment to the contrary -by the Chali
and others. All taking the position
that after t)?e merchant had favored
the farmer by furnishing him all the
year the least the farmer could do
would be to co-operate with the mer
chant to the end that the merchant
could meet hi* obligation. No one ex
pressed any other Idea than that the
- mm chant yould be glud to cooperate
with the farmer and assist him all
they could.
Messrs. Malone and Kuffln defend*
ed the paaltion of the Banks In their
desiie tu asBlil BWW the mercnancs
and the farmers In stating that at nur
.n*_Liiuas -borrowe*
that the Danks had not attempted to
stop loans except on unnecessary
transactions such as automobile pa
peTTBnd mat It had bfcen lioeral with
its funds for all legitimate expenses.
Mr. J. A- Mitchluer took the posi
tion that in ordci lu U? uf any real
good something must Ue done now to
help the fellpw who cannot "help him
self. - ?
Mr,_J._.0. Sledge spoke of the ne
cessity of the farmers carrying over
Iheir surplus rrops. and suggested th?
at the farmers make more corn and
hay instead of hauling so much from
town. To H posttiea h*? ft*?
tempted, to make plain that the meet
ing Bhould set a price for which the
farmer should hold his tobacco he il
lustrated by saying that if It costs
you 40 cents a pound to make your
tobacco you should add a reasonable
profit and make your price and stick
to It.
The question on the motion for ad
opting the resolutions was called for
and it being found that the amend
ment had no second the motion to ad^
opt the resolutions as reported was
put and carried by a rising vote.
The sentiment of the meeting was
called for on the question of a perma
nent organization and It being In the

criticised in the mass meeting on
Monday afternoon, we state that the
warrant against Mr. C. B. Clarke
was sworn out under Ordinance No.
23 of the town of Loulsburg and on
a Town warrant under which he gave
the maximum fine. The ordinance
reads: :
ordinance No. <23. Any person who
