We aoe from the HoanoLa Chowan Titnee that tha negro far ruera of Northampton. Bertie and Hertford counties will meet in Hicb Square on tbe 2."th inatant to organize a cotton growers' aa aooiatiou. It baa been eaid that tha negro farmers would not join in tbe movement to reduce tbe acreage of cotton. Heretofore it baa been difficult to get them to do ao, but now they have become convinced that it is to their advan tace to join with their white neighbors in tbia matter and thou aanda of them throughout the South are pledging themselves to the movement. I'p to very recently the small farmers and the tenants have been at the mercy of the merchants who furnished them supplies) f r making their cropa and tha latter could dictate to them what tbay abould plant. Cotton being a cash artiole and always aaleable, these small farmers were forced to plant largely of this crop in order to secure credit f r snpplies. Now there are not ao many entirely de pendent on these men for advanc es or credit and more can aot as they please in regard to how much cotton they shall plant. All conditions are favorable to the plan this year of reducing tbe area to be put in ootton. The far mers are more iu earnest and more determined to make the movement as near universal' as possible. The fact that the negroes have been won over to their side will greatly aid the promoters of the plan. It begins to look like tbe cotton planter would be in tbe saddle next fall, and the man who wants ootton ill not be able to get it at his own price, but the sellers will have something to say about it. Wilmington Messenger. And bow ltoould bj legal to give notice of an election under a law before tbe law was enacted. And why special coucsdl should be em ployed by the road, when it has an attorney. These questions are so public and prevalent we may refer to them in this way freely. JNo doubt, they can be' answered aud should oe. We faaye an intelligent board. We fear onr farmers are not conforming their acreage of cotton and purchase of fertilizers to tbe reduction suggested by ThedttoD Growers' Association. If our fears are well founded, it is a dangerous year upon which we have entered for -the smaller farmers. An av erage crop in the fall will mean a low price for cotton and this -means a small income with which to pay for fertilizers. By the way, tbe price of fertilizers keeps up to previous rates. And guano bills must be paid, though it takes all the cotton made tj pay them. It appears to us that tbe reduction named by the Cotton Growers' Conyention is the best thing to bo done. There is great 'danger m disregarding it. We preaume it is hardly needfal this spring to warn farmers not to neglect their corn crop for cotton. If cotton was fifteen cents a pound there would be a great temptation to plant cotton in corn fields. But when cotton is seven the temp tation is less. Whatever tbe temptation, to the contrary, it is dangerous to substitute anything for a corn crop. We ca.n find no . path so safe as this one. All our breadstuffs should be raised on the farm. The same is true with ref erence to our meat. lExcept the inexcusable neglect of wheat sow ing ; our farmers are pursuing this same policy more than before. (Continued on 8th page.) ' iu raising prices witain tDe past few weeks, but there seems reason to doubt that tbe purpose to held is as general and as definite as had been supposed. We have said be fore, what is appareut to every body, that the farmers are in po sition to control the situation. Whether they will contiuue to ex ercise their power to that end is another matter they can make or break the market if they will. Charlotte Objerver. The Proposed New State. Three Republican members of the house from the South have ambitions to break into, the senate and their, plan is a portion of eas tern Tensessee, part of South western Kentucky, which they be lieve would be strongly Republi can. These pipe dreamers are Representatives Slemp of Virginia, Brownlow of Tennessee and Ed wards of Kentucky. Their scheme is only in an embryo state just now, but the plan is to include a strip of western North Carolina. The sections of the states men tioned would make a strongly Re publican state, and while there would be only two senators to elect, the three statesmen who father the idea are willing to take chances and declare their inten tion to press it at the next session of congress. The proposed state, exclusive of any part of North Carolina, embraces 45 counties and is said to have a population of 750,000. Miss Myrtla McNeill who holds a position in Wilmington, spent several days here last week with relatives, returning Sandsy. Asbpole Items. Correspondence of Te Robesonian. Ashpole, March 18th, 1905.

Tha lettuce and beet crops thi springer particularly tin leading truok farmer stated yester day afternoon that tbe crop was much finer than last year and tba tha acreage has twn trrvatly in creaaed. If there is another large straw berry crop this spriog. and then is every proajiect that there wi lie. eastern North Carolina nil! be thousands of dollara richer within the next 10 days The first lettuce shipped from here this season was sbip(d av eral daja ago by Mr. K C.

Darmon, commission mercb auta, Philadelphia. lie received a telegram yesterdsy stating that the shipment bad reached Phi' delphia and that it waa bringing $5.00 tier basket Ibis lettuce waa shipped from tbe farm of Mr. R. W. Smith, near Castle Haynea Mr. Kennedy said be told a truck farmer yesterday who has eight small beds and whose lettuce is nearly ready for shipment, that if he could get bia lettuce on tbe market within tbe next two weeks be would clear him $1,000 on it. Mr. Kennedy is of the opinion that lettuce will not bring leas than $2 when the season is at ita height and that the prides will be any where from $2 to $4. Wil mington, Messenger of Sunday. Mr. Biyan's plau of capturing tbe next national election is that every Democratic voter pledge himself to attend the primaries so that an expression of tbe whole Democracy may be bad on the various issues. His plan makes no issue paramount but its pur pose is to secure an expression of the will of tbe people in order that a platform may be adopted such as will embrace as nearly as possible their views. Under any circumstances such advice is wise for whatever is politically wrong today is wrong because the people wish it so aud because they have not eircised their right at the primates of tbe people to make it otherwise. That is not a republio in which the will of tbe msjority does not rule and tbe failure oi our people, on the whole, to per form their duty in thia behalf has placed our Government in the bands of a few. Mr. Bryan' plan is a good one aud it is uot now too early to look foward to patting it in operation. Judging from tbe ltnmeuee spring stock cur merchants are buying, they have no tears as to the string trada. We have never seen larger or handsomer collec tions "of hoods than they are now displaying. Lumberton has become a market where almost scything can be bought, consequently it is keeping money made here, at home, which explains its prosperity and substantial growth. The Presbyterians are making arrangements to build a manse The location of a lot has not yet been decided on but it is their purpose to sec are a desirable place and then erect a handsome build ing. Both the other churches own homes for their pastor, but the Prel yterians have never owned a manse of their own. K4 Srrtags.

Reports come from various sec tions of the county tbat the town- hips meetings of the cotton grow ers held Satnnlay were the mot enthusiastic which have yet been held. At tbe meeting held at Rayn am in Thompson township, there was considerable discussion as to by mercbanta throughout the county were manifesting so little nterest in tbe movement and there was considerable feeling that the merchants were not giving the farmers their co-operaticn. Aa i result of this discussion a resolu tion was adopted pledging tbe members of tbat organization to give those merchants who co-ope r ated with them the preference in the matter of their trade. The ex Dression of such sentiments indi cates tbat the farmera are desper ately in ear c est and have made up their minds to brook no oppoai tion in their effort to perfect such an organization and to adopt such measures as will give them com plete control in the matter of handling and marketing their cot ton. Miaa Annie Boone Dead. It is with regret we chronicle tbe death of Miss Annie Boone which occurred at tbe home of ber brotb er, Mr. George Boone, four mile uurtb.wet of here, Sunday evt ning at eight o'clock, after being seriously ill f"r some time with pneumonia.

She was a goodwc man, and has gone to the rest for tvhich she ha been preparing for several years past. The funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon by Re, v.
