"It v.as the beat speech I ever
heard." "It was a gem In literature
and tbe. fleer feelings" and "The
plaii :st and strongest exploration of
the teachings and objects of Kiwanis
I ever heard," were among the ex
pressions heard on all sides concern
ing the speech of Dr. E. W. Sykes to
the two hundred of more Klwanians
galhtred at Kineton for the 1925
Inter-City Meet. And in neither of
the expressions was too much said
of the flne address. It all business
men would become Klwanians and
all Kiwaniane practice the principle
as set forth by Dr. Dykes there would
be a greater understanding, a greater
appreciation and a greater friend
ship among business men that would
build up communtles on the most
substantial foundations.

OPENING OF THE GRADED SCHOOL
Supt. W. R. Mills %Titas as follows
concerning the Louisburg Grided
School:
Stop! Look! Listen! The Fall term
cf the Graded School will open on
Monday, Sept. 7. The school law re
quires all children from seven to four
teen to be in school every day unlesta
excused for proper cause. So many
parents are in the habit of keeping
their children out for a week or so to
"get ready for school." Do you know,
brother, you may be violating the law
of your State and robDir.g your child
of an opportunity for which you are
called upon to pay? Hustle around
and get'the children ready and have
them in school on the opening duy.
Text-books can. be bought at the
school any day the week before the
evening. These books are kept at
school for the convenience of the pat
rons and not to make money. They
will be sold strictly for cash. Your
credit may be good at the bank, but
f tie school has no 'ope to k^ep books
end run a credit business. Buy books
any place that suits you best, but try
by all means to have the children pro
perly equipped at the outset. No pu
pil can do successful work without
the proper tools. Book list can b>
had any day after August 28. Get a
list, look over the books you have at
home, 1- ok over the fe-ord-hand books
your neighbor has. Buy as few books
as are needed.
The school belongs to you; the su
perintendent and all the teachers are
hired to help you educate your child
ren; give the school-the best support
you can. If the sohool is doing wall
tell all of your neighbors aliout It. II
cn the other hand you think the man
agement is not what it should be
please do not tell your neighbors
about it; come to school, slip up on
the blind side of me and wblsper this
information in my ear. Maybe the
trouble can be remedied. If yon had
stock in a bank and you thought it a
little "shaky" you would not tell ths
whole world about It; try to treat ths
school with as much consideration as
you would your bank.

S. 0. GROWERS ARE
APPEALING TO N. 0.
A "Grape Vine" Message Comes
Through In Advance of Opening
Jiext Week.
South Carolina tobacco growers by
scores and hundreds have employed
the oldest known means of communis
cation to cend along an appeal to
members of the Tobacco Growers' As
sociation urging them to stand by
their guns and save the bumper crop
of 1925 for a profit to the men who
produce it. It has been widely cir
culated in advance of the opening of
twenty-five association warehouses in
Eastern North Carolina next Tuesday.
It has been a word-of-mouth which
has reached the Eastern Carolina
belt from tho association members in
the South Carolina belt, according to
reports which have been received at
! association headquarters and verified
by association men in the field.
The South Carolinians are right
eously elated over the sixty five per
cent advance which they have received
and compared with auction floor
averages. loyal members have ap
pealed to association officials in be
half ofnon-members and the books
! were opened to those who had petilion
ed for an opportunity to sell their
?! tobacco in an orderly way.
The word has been passed along
; from the men who have contributed
to the big South Carolina success
that a similar demonstration of
Royalty In Eastern North Carolina
may mean an even greater measure
lot prosperity to member growers in
Eastern Carolina and Virginia a? well
1' as South Carolina.
I The snug complacency which in the
past has marked the Interest of the
? > merchant and banker In the success
(o- failure of the organised tobacco
growers has changed to one of the
solicitude and conoern. The bankers
1 and business men of South Carolina
have beeu sending a message, too.
These business men and bankers,
1 heretofore indifferent to the success
of co-operntive marketing, are re
cognising this year that the bealthly
progress of their communitiee is al
most solely dependent upon the pros
perity of the farms In their trading
a* eas.
It has occurred to them that an as
sociation which merits the highest
confidence of Federal and State
governments and of the big banking
interests of this country is achallonge
!ii their indifference.
Governor Thoma6 G. McLood
an address last week to farmers in
Cleveland County), North Oarollna.
asserted that the prosperity of the
farming industry in the Anglo Saxon
? South Is actually threatened now by
a prospective Influx of slien laborers.
' More than ever in the history of farm
ing, Governor McLeod said, is it
necessary for the farmer to organise
bis business. He must primarily Join
in the co-operative marketing of his
produce, whether it be cotton, tob
acco, peanuts or what not.
The loyalty of South Carolina
members is a sharp challenge to the
members ?f the associate n in Eas
tern North Carolina. It it Is met
with the same determination, the
goal of 200 million pounds which was
fixed by the directors tor 1926 will be
over reached. t..
Although open less than a month,
co-operative warehouses In South
Carolina so tar have received almost
fifty per cent of the total received In
1924 Member growers have received
1 an adtanse, which Is the highest ever
1 made In the co-operative markeUng
movement
