With reference to the I Kiwanis work he stated there - were ? two classes of business men?one that, hasn't woke up and one that realizes the necessity of co.operating but haa. no program. He likened the farms to email factories and pointed out that they could Increase their profits from 10, to 100 per t cent and showed where It was to the Interest of the business i. ; -. to assist them to adopt better n.t ?ds that would produce this in ert. ;.f profit Among the things the; i do for the farmer he noted was ahold and support the Farm end Heme Agents, establish markets for smjll crops and stressed the im portance of trading at home from the business man to the farmer as well as the farmer? to the business man, l.r.der this head he stressed the im portance of o-operatlve Marketing as the one thing that will'do as much as anything else to put the farmer In the position he should occupy.

H. Banks' and Felix Banks' were emphasized. The other fertilizer tests were those begun by Farm Agent Cole Savage last spring. Three Improved cotton seed tests and one forest thlning de monstration were visited also. Conclusions drawn ty the touring party are: Fertilizer did not give greatest returns this year on account of the stifling drought; nitrate of soda pUfunder cotton at planting time Is holding out now which Is for 120 days; nitrate of soda promises to be the most profitable sourcg of ammonia for cotton this year; and Improved cotton seed ' will probably make a slight increase in yield over the local varieties.

SERIOUS FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (S. D. Fissell) The statement Issued by General I Manager Richard R. Patterson, of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As sertion, in Raleigh this week, as pub lished in the State papers, has stirred the bankers and business men of Eas tern North Carolina to a realization of a serious financial condition which, it is widely believed, would have been even more distressing but for the operation this year of the growers' organization. Reports to association headquarters since Mr. Patterson and a committee of bankers' experts visited the mar kits in eastern Carolina Indicate that the receipts in strong suction territory have doubled during the past week. The receipts in South Carolina, it is now predicted, will be more than twice what they were In 1924. The associa tions price level has been maintained in the South Carolina and Eastern belts. Mr. Patterson's statement: "I have been repeatedly asked since tbe tobac co markets opened in Eastern North Carolina what the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association expects to do about the distressing conditions which have followed the below-productlon tost prices offered to the growers on the auction floor. "My reply is that the association now is going to do Just what it has done since organization. Provide for the grower a service corporation which will enable him to market his tobacco in an orderly way. Unless nnd until the grower and the business man avail themselves of. this service, no power beneath the blue canopy of Heaven can do anything about the low prices the growers are now receiving. "Two excuses are being offered by the dealers. One of that the Chinese revolution is to blame. The other is that the crop is of poor quality. "It Is true that the Chines boycott has practically forced the Export Tobacco Company which usually buys one third or more of the bright leaf tobacco produced in four States off the market. We hope this condition may be only temporary but, the crop in the meantime is leaving the hands of the growers and falllni Into the hands of dealers. The association does not want to run orderly marketing down the throat of anybody. What It will do dopends upon what the business men and other opponents or cooperative marketing, in the past, do now. The association can take the tobacco, redry It and sell it to the best advantages of the grower. Unless this course is fol lowed, the tobacco passes from his hands Into the hands of dealers who had nothing on earth to do with mak ing the crop and who will have every thing to do with the proflt la It. "Ah (or the quality of the crop this yeas: It Is far better than the average crop of tobacoo I have seen In North Carolina for the past ten years. I be lieve" I am a oompetent Judge. "If I did not know Tor myself that It Is the beet crop produced la years. TOBACCO MARKET OPENS OCTOBER 1ST Date Postponed Account Of Dry Weather Big Companies Unable To Handle Weed?Prices Expected To Be Bet ter When- Brought Is Broken And Cold Weather Arrives. Following the announcement made last week that the opening of the to bacco markets in the New Belt had been postponed until Thursday, Octo ber 1st, 1925, a committee from the Business Men of Louisburg and the Warehousemen entered protests and began an Investigation to ascertain the reason and unless it was very good to try to have the old date res tored. The investigation developed the information that the drought in the western part of the State where most of this tobacco is shipped for re drying was causing the Companies to operate on half-time and unless some relief from the water shortage was soon provided the redrying plants would have to close. As a result much of the tobacco had to be shipped to Virginia points and redried, and the companies were buying only what they had to buy 'and did not want that. It was assured that this condition was greatly responsible for the low prices {being paid on the eastern markets. It j was pointed out to the committee that ; it would be much better for the grow ler to wait and sell when the condi tions at the redrying plants had been | relieved which would insure a better demand for the weed with a resultant j tetter price. Therefore the committee and the warehousemen drafted a circular ad vising the farmers of the change in ;the opening date and advised them to {hold their tobacco until that time feel j ing sure that the prices would be bet |ter and more satisfactory. In the meantime everything possi | ble is being done in Louisburg both | b\- the warehousemen and Business ! Men to make Louisburg the best place j in the State for the farmers to sell their tobacco and many things are taking place to put this plan into concrete operation for the growers benefit and incidentally the benefit of the whole town. Hold your tobacco at least to Octo ber 1st anil bring it to Louisburg where not only the warehousemen and buyers will be glad to see you but every business man in town will wel. come you. GREAT REVIVAL AT TK1MTV CHURCH Trinity Methodist Church near In gleside has just experienced the niost successful revival in this community for many years. The meeting was in progress for nearly two weeks, ser vices being held In the afternoon and at night. The congregations were good from the first, and at the even ing services the church was nearly always filled to its capacity. The pas tor in charge, Rev. J. C. Williams was very ably assisted by Rev. J. U. Tea gue. Both are truly gospel preachers and they both spoke fearlessly and boldly in their condemnation of sin and worldly pleasures and in their presentation of high standards of Christian living. It was really a great l.t'lon meeting for the community, and a wonderful spirit of Christianity was shown in the cooperation of the other denomination in the community. The Federation from Henderson came down two nights and did a great work testifying for the Lord. The song services were an added feature of the meeting. Mr. N. J. Mills, a thoroughly consecrated young evangelistic singer, of Mebane, had cuarge of these services. AT 8T. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rev. J. D. Miller, rector of St. Paul s Episcopal church announces services for Sunday, September -20th, as fol lows: Holy Communion at II a. m. Evening prayer at 7:30 p. m. Sunday School at 10 a. m. All are cordially invited to take part in these services. I certainly would have been ao per suaded by the statements the dealers made in the newspapers prior to the opening on the markets. "I know that Eastern North Caro lina is suffering from the low prices offered on auction floors. I know that the grower Is broken again. 1 hey might as welj give him ten cents as to give twelve"and fourteen. "The business man, the benker and the professional man In Eastern North Carolina can remedy'this situation now. It Is up to them. When they whole-heartedly wish for better mar keting conditions and Improved prices, they can get them. "It is a historic fact that when Rome was burning down and the news was carried to Nero he sent back word that It was a case for the firs depart ment The deplorable, the patheti condition In Beater* North Carolina la a case tot the merchant and banker of Eastern North CarOUna.

Hale in the death of their only child, a little daughter, Virginia, on Thurs day morning about 1:30 o'clock fol lowing an attack of tonsilitis. The little girl was taken ill on Monday night and rapidly grew worse jntil the end came. She was in the sixth year of her age and had been the fountain of happiness in the home not only to her parents but to her grand parents as well. Never having en joyed good health and a happy robust physique she had woven herself into the love and affections of her parents i'Ml friends more strongly, if possible, through the care and attentions that had been given her. And as she ap parently grew in health and strength the happiness and love for her grew in greater volume. In her own sweet way she was a most interesting and lovable little child. And to see it plucked from life so ycung brings sor row and sadness to more than the fam ily.
