Do the people of Louisburg Graded
School District know that wo are soon
to have a school building that is wor

health of the children and the teach

In this new building we will have
twenty-three class rooms, an auditor
ium on the ground floor to seat about
eight hundred, a library, a rest room
for sick children and teachers, a
gymnasium on the ground floor, and
i office. We believe that all of this
is necessary for the education of ou ?
children. The building is well de
signed, v. ill be adequately lighted and
neated. As the people of the scflo"l
district have opportunity, -hey will
confer a favor on all of us If they will
irlve up to the building and let us
show them what It is like.
We have employed a strong teach
ing stall tor the conilag year and
want to make the school stronger and
letter In every way. We expect to
put on a strong athletic program fo>
loth boys and girls. In our gym
nasium we will be able to carry on a
regular physical traiuing all the year,
and will be able to play in-door bas
ket ball at night. We expect to give
the boys a try at foot ball this tme.
All of the first class high schools
have foot ball teams, and we want to
keep up vrtth the procession. Boys,
begin to leave off your clp aiettes and
i'l. prove your strength. Last spring
we were successful Id- baseball ; this
fall we want to do equally as well In
foot ball
Next week we will announce the
complete faculty and possibly the

"ARE TELEPHONE OPERATORS
HUMAN?"
Is a gentleman privileged to be dis
courteous to a woman just because
she happens to be the woman that is
making a telephone connection for
him, and because he 1b unable to see
who she Is? Ttis question was ask
ed of a representative a few days ft go.
"I wonder," Baid the Inquirer, if they
do not think the operators have feel
ings Just the same as other girls, and
if they would like for some gruff old
business man to talk as Insulting to
Ms daughter it she should ever hap
pen to be employed at the telephone
switchboard? I do not believe It Is
possible to receive better service In
any city In the United States than it
Is possible to receive over my phone
at any time of day or night and the
answer 1b simple: "Treat them as
you would like to be treated yourself
and If they were your own daughter
or sister." They And It a pleasure
to give you the best service possible
if they know you appreciate it, and it
will cost you nothing at all to let
them know you do appreciate getting
a call through quickly.
Remember that they have to an
swer hundreds ot calls every day, and
more than ninety per cent at them
are calls made by very impatient peo
ple, people who care not a whit
whether they hurt one's feelings or
not just so they get their calls through

GREAT REJOICING
AS MARKETS OPEN
Governor, SeD&tor and Lead-j
ers Urge Cooperative Mar
keting Upon 20,000 Farmers!
(3. D. Frizzell)
The opening of the 42 markets of
the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As
sociation in the South Carolina Beit
has been marked by enthusiasm ar.d|
celebrations by the organized grow
ers that have passed all previous rer
cords .
Close to twenty thousand toba<co
farmers Joined in the great mass meet
iogs of last week at Klngstree and
Muilins in South Carolina and at Nor
Una and the Guilford Battle Ground
in North Carolina. The spirit of loy
alty of the organized fanners to their
I lan of marketing tobacco us eviden
ced in these meetings is now beyond
a doubt as they begin their second
year of marketing.
U. S. Senator Smith, ot South Caro
lina, told twenty-flve hundred farm
ers at Klngstree "We fought because
we had taxation without representa
tion. We fought and won. Yet when
you come to selling the product that
the education of your children de
pends on, you haven't any more to say
about It than a Hottentot in Africa.
We sit down here like dumb driven
tiegsts and allow others to dictate
>ithat we sell our tobacco for; we sit
down here and allow others to dictate
?? us what our wives and daughters
are worth." Senator Smith said co
operative marketing was the only way
cut.
Charging domination of the South
Carolina tobaccp markets by the Im
perial Tobacco Company of Great
Britain, Governor McLeod, of South
Carolina, told more than a thousand
farmers who gathered near Muilins
that "If England wants our friendship
she must not allow a company under
jthe British flag to destroy an institu
tion organized by the American far
| -.tiers and sactioned by th<? laws oi
j state and congress." The South t'ar
I ollna governor declared "When the
Britons' back was to the wall and
France was bled white, if it had not
been for our American boys who went
over, thei^ would be no Imperial To
bacco Company of Great Britain. It
would oe a ttijn company. -
The record meeting in the history
of 'the Tobacco Growers CoopSkatlve
Association was held at Norlina last
Friday, when over twelve thousand
farmers came from twenty counties of
North Carolina and Virginia and feast
ed at a barbecue for which over a
thousand chickens had been contrib
uted by members to make up the
Brunswick stew, which was prepared
In thlrty-flve great Iron kettles. Those
present hung upon the words of Oliv
ler J. Sands, Manager of the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association, U.
n. blalock, Manager of the Cotton
Growers, Dr. J. Y. Joyner and Coun
ty Cooperative Chairman John- Flem
ing. So huge was the crowd that
sound amplifiers were installed and
the message of their leaders was
heard by every one of the ten thous
and farmers and brought thunders of
applause that marked the great mul
titude one hundred per cent co-ops.
On Guilford Battle Ground more
than two thousand tobacco farmers
who heard Senator Smith from South
Carolina and Oliver J. Sands from
Virginia, responded to the call to
throw off the yoke of economic slav
ery as their ancestors had thrown off
the yoke of British domination one
hundred and forty years ago. The
following resolution, signed by the of
ficials of the county associations ot
seven North Carolina counties, was
passed with a standing vote that;
brought two thousand farmers to their
feet.
We members of the Tobacco Grtfw
era Cooperative Association, do moat
heartily commend the courage and
patriotism which has animated U. 8.
Senator Smith of South Carolina 111
espousing the cause ot the farmers,
and In using his Influence in promot
ing the cause of cooperative market
Ing, and we heartily and oaraeotly
thank Senator Smith for the clear
and logical exposition which he has
given us today of the urgent necessity
for, the practice of that cooperation
spirit which has always been . the
toundatlon of every successful busi
ness accomplishment.
tVe express the wish that our wor
thy Oovernpi and honored senator*,'
realising fully aa we are they
must, that the foundation of our bus
iness superstructure must rest upon
agriculture and that the prosperity of
the farmer Is essential to the wel
fare ot the state and nation, may pro
fit by the example of the Illustrious
Senator from South Carolina and
raise their voices publicly In behalf
ot this worthy movement.
South Carolina farnfers are busy
?avlng the best and largest "rop which
this state has seen In many years.
Though small deliveries nave been
made to the association, its members
are highly pleased with the flrat ad
vances which are much higher than
those paid last year.
In Seattle, a crazy man thought
he was Harding, but of course he
was only mistaken.

Wants To Know Why Im

Will Not Buy To'iaero From
Co-op-.-.ra1 ives
Kingstree, S. C. July 18. ? United
States Senator E. D. Smith of South
Carolina, addressed a crowd of more
than two thousand tobacco farmers
at.d members of the Tobacco Grow
ers' Co-operative Association at a
great barbecue held here today to
celebrate the success of the associa
tion in its first year of "marketing
and the opening of its warehouses for
the crop of 1923.
Appealing to the tobacco farmers
to win their economic independence
Senator Smith binted strongly at tho
dominlon of the South Carolina to
bacco markets by British financial
interests and mentioned the Imperial
Tobacco Company of Great Britain
as a powerful factor in settng the
price of the labor of the southern
farmer and his chidren.
Fontrht England Once
"We fought England because, we
htd taxation without > epresentatlon,"
Senator Smith declared. "We fought
for it and won, yet when you come
to selling the product that the edu
cation of your children depends on
you haven't any more to say about
it than a Hottentot in Anlca. We
?lt down here like dumb driven beastf)
and allow others to dictate to us what
our wives anil daughters are worth."
The South Carolina Senator's inti
mation of theantagonism o? the Im
ptrial Tobacco Company of Great
Britain to co-operative marketing In

j against the British company which
buys approximately otte-third of the
I South Carolina tobacco crop but
has declined to purchase any of
the product raised by half oil the
South Cirollna planters who com
pose the Tobacco Co-operative Asso
ciation was stirred today when they
were confronted with the question
(t&_to ? .whether American producers
of British capitalists should handle
the tobacco markets of their state.
'Why isn't tobacco tobacco?" ask
ed Smith. "Why would not any to
bacco buying corporation buy from,
you? You are not even fixing the
prices. Why should they fight W
Senator Smith asked the two thou
sand farmers here today.
"They know that If the farmers
ever gets his co-operative marketing
started the happy days of skinning
you alive are gone," lie declared.
Urging the farmers to perfect their
co-operative ma^-ketllng association,
the Senator said, "In 1919 I saw m?r
coming back from markets holding a
paper In their hand and shouting '?
have paid out' ? shouting that they had
actually paid their debts by1 working
from morning until night. If they or
ganise a great tobacco corporation
and sell stock all over the world
that brings profit, for God's sake com
iblne In your corporation and get some
rt the profit."
