' -. Thus far .without a single ex ception so far as known comment in , all sections of the country has been favorable to the enterprise. All of which leads the Committee to anticipate a large and repre sentative gathering of delegates in New Orleans the last of - the month, thti railroads having granted a reduced rate for the round trip which may be taken advantage of by all who may de sire to attend the conference. whether as an individual or as an appointed delegate. " HOLLAND A LAND OF BELLS From the earliest times the people of the Nethrlands have so greatly loved- their bells arid chimes that the architecture of their belfries and steepls shows markd traces of it. Most of these" are of open-work design, so that the " bells might be heard in the widest circumference. - " In Holland there is hardly ii place of importance that " does not have one or more towers with chimems. " The tunes of these are changed once or twice a year, generaHy ; on New Year's day. v This is so at The . Hague and Utrecht. Some places are how ever, ! not content with this, and have the tuness changed of tener.

New. Hope, JunelO, , 1907; Editor Tar -Heel: . v Dear Sir :" Will you kindly give: mev space-in; your paper for a few remarks that I wish to make: -'-V ''. The prices of. corn and meat has brought home more forceabiy than ever before, to me j : the be lief that the farmers Of Eastern, C, are devoting s : too : much time and, land in an effort to grow cotton; and too littte in the effort to raise corn meal,- oats and- other necessaries of life that they mighty raise much cheaper than they can buy; it, at present prices. ' If scientists are to be believed, we are about to enter into sev eral years of very 'wet weather," in fact; they "say that until .1913, it will be continually wet. And surely if-last .year and this year are any "criterion" the scientists are right. ' Now, the idea I wish to convey is this : that if men devote their- time and land to the raising the. necessaries of life; why the years wouia nave to oe mucn - worse than last year was, to keep "them from doing so: but instead of do ing that they use all, of their time and land in cultivating cotton and all of their -"spare cash" in buying "guano," and in the fall, they fini that the eottpn crop is j i -i n j " . r a lanure, ana mat corn is a aoi ar a bushel, and meat from v ten to twenty cents a pound then, it it, that they will , suddenly real ize . that -they. have made a grave mistake. This part of North Carolina land and' climate-was never es pecially, adapted to cotton, and the raising of it has always been more of a "game of. chance" than a surety. Although for the- past few .years some have been quite successful m their efforts to rais the "staple" but they shoud re member that - provisions and hay were not near so high then I as now. and also that labor was 1 much cheaner : I do not pretend to - advocate - x the discontinuance of cotton raising, 'but I do advocate that first raise your "bread and meat,V and;then ' ifyou-havo any ! labor and land to-spare, why then raise all the cotton you' can . ; r In the meantime, do not spend too much money for ''phosphate - which has already poisoned -the lands of our section to such an extent that it will take years to get it in normal condition again. Hoping that this will start the farmers to thinking. I beg to re main. ' Very truly yoursr THOS. M. DAVIS. UN THE DEATH OFlDR.
