the Speakers ? Big Parade

Make Big Day Fof Youngs
ville
Youngsville, Sept. 16. ? A very en
thusiastic demonstration was staged
here on last Friday, when Major R.
E Underwood of the National Guard
took the lead in promoting the exer
cises of National Defensg Day. Old
time loyalty and love lor country
were clearly shown by the townspeo
ple, as well as the citizens ofsurround
ing communities, who turned out in
large numbers.
The parade leading from the grad
ed school grounds to thte Eagle ware
house was head.d by a band from
| Wake Forest which furnished stirr
jing patriotic music throughout the
day'a program. Next followed the lo.
cal unit of the National Guard under
] Captain Frank Tlmberlake which Is
a part of the Headquarters Detachment
of the 117 Field Artillery. The rest
of the parade was made up ot teach
ers and pupils of the schools in and
around Youngsville. The business
houses and public buildings carried
the national colors in a very attrac
tive manner, showing the good work
of an active decorating committee.
In the Eagle warehouse at eleven
o'clock, Major Underwo-1 took charge
of the exercises and presented to an
audience of more than a thousand
people, a most interesting and enjoy,
able program consisting of patriotic
music and public speaking. The first
address was delivered by Capt. Bland
G. Mitchell, formerly of Youngsville,
who first proved to his audience that
Uncle Sam had no wrong motives
in the setting and observance of Na.
ti()nal Defense Day, and then showed
very effectively the real reasons that
prompted the nation to turn its at.
tention for one full day to reviewing
Its defense facilities. Uhe audience
then had the pleature of listening for
thirty minutes to an inspiring address
by Hon. Dennis G. Brummitt of Ox- 1
ford. In which he set forth th fun
damental doctrines upon which he said
the success and permanency of the re
public ha? always stood and must
stand inthe future Among these he
declared that there must be equality
before the law for all our citizens
and equality of opportunity In every
phase of our economic and national
[life. Reviewing the efforts of our great
people to establish an ideal demo
cracy. he found religion to be the basal
factor of our greatness and remind
ed his audience that this must still
be at the heart of American life. In
the conclusion of hjs address. Mr.
Brummitt said that mere legislation
would never prove a remedy for any
of our Ills, but that law enforcement
and the safety of our national life
depended upon the wtll of our citizen
ship.
A bountiful free dinner was served
on the armory grounds, after which
the local u/ilt of the National Guard
conducted an exhibit of military equip
ment. Athletics and social features
filled In the afternoon.

OPEN OCTOBER 1ST
LAST CHANCE
FOE OUTSIDERS
Over Pour Million In Payments
On 1923 Deliveries From
Sept. 15 to Nov. 15
(S. D. Frissell)
The third season of the cooperative
marketing (or Virginia and North
Carolina bright tobacco farmers will
be in full swing on Wednesd-/-. Oc
tober 1, when thirty more warehouses
of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association will open in Virginia and
Western North Carolina.
Members of the association In the
old belt are waiting eagerly for the
arrival of the grade cards at their
warehouses on the opening day.
These show the Eastern Carolina and
South Carolina co-ops that their or
ganization is payfh'g' the? highest cash
advances In the history this season.
The association has been obliged
to turn away hundreds of tobacco
farmers who were too late In seeking
admission tor their present crop, since
the- directors ruled that no 1924 to.
bacco would be accepted from new
members who signed after the opening
dates.
Many contractsto deliver the crops
of 1925 and 1926 have now reached
associatiop headquarters from farm
ers who were too late to sign up their
present crop aft> the cooperative
floors had opened.
The tobacco farmers of the Eastern
and Southern belts are finding that
the increased cash advances and the
privilege of every member to obtain
an Immediate loan of one-half the
amount of his cash advance on every
load Is greatly to their advantage.
Money was offered an association ware
bouse manager by a farmer outside
of the association last week for the
privilege of marketing his present
crop through the association but the
directors and officials of the associa
tion continue to rigidly enforce their
ruling that no more contracts for de
livery of the present crop will be ac
cepted after the opening day.
Membrship books tor the 1924 de
| livery season will close at all old belt
| warehouses of the association on Oc
tober 1.
The association is now paying out
millions of dollars to its members
in various belts. Last week it was
$2 300,000 to Virginia and Western
Carolina co-ops. on their last season's
deliveris; this week it is $600,000 to
the members in Eastern Carolina on
the 1923 crop and according to the
latest announcement the dark-fired
tobacco growers of Virginia within
the association will divide approxi
mately $1,250,000, or thirty per cent
of the value of their last seasons de.
liveries, not later than November 15.
These payments will bring the cash
receipts of every member in the as
sociation to three-fourths or more of
the banker's valuation on his last
season's deliveries of tobacco to the
cooperative floors.
