Community Lpcals Essential Raleigh, March 27 ? Community and county units are being rapidly per fected In the North CarolUur Cotton Growers' Oo-Operaflve Association, according to an announcement from the hqpulquarters here. Organizations of local units ot the Association started, in real earnest the first year, and will be continued until aft members are affiliated with some community group. This work is considered essential for many rea sons, one ot the big ones being that it will make tor efficiency in conduc ting marketing operations. Greatly handicapped by the lack of knowledge among its members as to what was expected of them, the Cotton Association Has had hard sledding bat has come through some trying experiences with flying colors, large ly because of the loyal support inspired through local organizations, officals stat<. .Educational work in co-operative methods will be on* of the big features of this year'* program, and it is be lieved that before another selling season rolls around, the Association will be in a position to handle Its ope rations with a minimum of delay. An efficient and smooth working orga nisation from top to bottom is the aim, Community spirit and community action is declared to be the basic principle of oo-operatlTe effort, and the North Carolina Cotton .Co- Ope rative la trying to build on a Arm foundation by keeping this in mind, according to ita head officials Honor Soli Laurel School 1st Grade ?

Ing working out details of the ract. e drawings show that this will ne of the nicest buildings of its in any town In the State of its ? opportnrities and we hope to ke able to publish a picture of the _'~*dinjc with a full explanation of it in a near future Issue. Mr. Vaughan Writes you will allow me space In your able paper, I will state a few (acts #it my experience with the -velfare I say men because I tried both. Oct. 1921 my- wife and I were re ing from church and found, by tki side of the roadr a fourteen year iqp colored boy almost frozen. He Mm been an Idiot and epileptic from birth. He was so near frozen he had ilb use of himself whatever. We car l.riejl him home which was about two |B!B?dr.;d yards away. ?Shis lioy's mother and father died yhfn he was very young and thero w*A no one to care (or him but his grandmother who was seventy-five lyesys old. I took this case to Mr. NMes, our welfare man, and after I begging several months I finally got >$tin to come to see the boy and fill out ^papers to get the boy to some place in which he could be looked after. I never heard from it any more. My children on their way to school ; drag ? Wd him in the house a great number jft times with a fit on him. Later the ' moved near my home and woold come to my house and beg for food. As he had grown to he stotft now; my wife was afraid of him. I took the case to Mr. Perry, our welfare man. He came down soon as he had just taken his office. You know how a new broom sweeps. He said bring the boy to Dr. Malone and have him examined; which I did at once. I never heard from it any nore. Now this is the sad part of the story. His grandmother died last fall. Ho continued to live wttii some other negroes that she had lived. This man went to barn his plant bed not long ago and the boy lol lowed bim. After ficinc bed he went back home by a different route, thereby missing the boy. As the boy didn't come home in due time they went to look for him. Pound him at plant bed with both legs burned off And dogs eating his dead l>ody. Is this a case ot charity, There seems to be a great deal of unnecessary criticism about Mr. J. R. Jones. He 4s only doing what he promised the voter g, he would do. I have known Mr. Jones for thirty years, He has always been considered a straightforward man and one of our beat citizens. If we are democrats why not let the masses of the people rule. Put it to a vote and if the peo ple want a welfare nr^an or Home Demonstration Agcr.t let them say so by their vote. That la not done*because you know fcO per cent of the people would vote agabMt them. The laws are not right or either they are not enforced. The Prohibition law is a farce; and every time they touch It they make It woraew When Mr. Turlington made it against the law to take a drink of whiskey, why didn't he pot a band on the sale of copper? You can buy all the copper you. want from any dealer. Some wtliri will sell you a copper pjpe and tarnish you a piece of gas | pipe to OOnceal it In until you get home. Make It hard for the blocker to get the copper and that would be a great blow to . their business. The ProAlMtlOn law as It Is will make a Rood Man violate the law. t know men who are of 'he better claaa that would take a drink some times If It waa convenient. Stop the iMNtut from selling copper and It wlU do more good than anything they have ever done yet. Mr. Cooper's lav to get the man and 130.00 or get still and. $10.00 Is not worth much for they wQI take $10.00 for stnl and. If caught the Hooker will pay $(0.00 or more to h?ve bim keep quiet and that Is the laat ot It This and other tricks that blockers hsve told me makes me say the Pro hibition law Is a farce. Now abouf r utting salaries. that was alright bat w* Ml to see the wisdom ot abolish ing the office Qf Auditor. All men who handle the people's money should h?ve some one to check Behind them. Zaccbetu was a keeper of a Custom Hods* and got immensely rich for he had Mo one to check behind him. He waa so jure Jesus knew his sins that he-gave "tatrr dollars tor every one tak en.

County Dear Mr. Farmer: It is time to buy fertilizer again, don't buy too much, if you do you. might get rich, like you did in 1920. So don't get rich, but try to make a living at home. People have been trying to get rich, making cotton and tobacco ever since the Civil War and have been getting poor and poorer (?very year. Cheap John said you may go this way, and go that way, and go from door to door, if yon haven't.the Grace of God in your heart the devil will get ycu sure. So you may Joiin what you please, if you don't stop mak log so much cotton and tobacco, you will have to sell it cheap. The farmer reminds me of the way Mr. Allen Per ry said his mule was, he said he had a mule, that had deep reeling and a short recollection, that Is it took a hard lick for him to feel it, and he soon forgot it. So that is the way with the farmer, he buys all the guano for cash or on time he can get and njakes more cotton than the world and the Eoll Weevil can destroy, makes more tobacco than all the world, and the worms can destroy. If you can get as much for one bale of cotton as you can for two what do you want to make two for. Remember 1920, I warn you to tiee the wrath to come. M. L. RANSDELL.
