Robeson County Loan and Trnst Company, (Bank of Lumberton Building.) LUMBERTON, N. C. Mast Have a Reduction In Acre age to Save the Seath Means Hisaer Prices for Balance of This Ciop and all of Next One. To tlie OotWa Hante-.s: I have received so many letters t ndorsing my efforts for a reduc tion iu acreage from nearlv every section of the South that I have decided to continue the work ano by request write another article on similar lines that will be car ried by the Southern weekly pa pnrsall during this month s. every planter vp ill have a. chanc; to read it. Cotton lor Octobt r delivery sold this week at eight cents per pound- Can yon pro duce it at a profit at this pru': No. Then in order to get a prof it on what you raise this seasor you must plant less than you in tended planting at first, fie ports on the acreage issued so far show that the acreage wid be about -1 per cent- larger that iast year. This is probably duf tu the new farmers that liav settled in Oklahoma aiad West Texas putting in so much new land. We must- more than offset this increase by reducing in the rest of the belt. I again state that the main cause for the decline in prices is lack of confidence caused by the fear of a large acreage which means, with good weather condi tions, a large crop and even low er prices than at present. Do you want to grow a crop at an actual loss? If not, reduce your acreage; then if your neighbor presists in planting a large acre age and you have to sell your crop at a loss you lose less than he. If by reducing you add $300,000,000 to the wealth of tb South you will not only receive a part of this but you can feel that you did your part to add to the prosperity of the country. Is it good business to plant a crop where there is no profit in itV No. Than let every reader at once plant part of his present acreage intended for cotton in some feed crop, or let the land lie idle one season, as you can get more money for the crop grown on the part you do culti vate. If you have it already planted do not work it out as it will be labor thrown away- Which do yon prefer? To plant your present acreage and get from 7 to 8 cents per pound or reduce it and get 11 to 12 cents and possibly higher? The present contemplated acreage and good weather means a return to the old days of cheap cotton ! of ten years ago while a reduced acreage means a continuance of the prosperity of the past few years. Let every planter that reads this at once make up his mind he will not be, the cause of Wall Street bears fixing the price for your crop as they will do with a large crop. Go to work at once to produce your own acreage and see as many of your neighbors as possible at once and get a united action in this matter, as this is the only way we can be indepen dent and prosperous. I urge every merchant and banker throughout the South to advise their customers to reduce their acreage as it means a loss to you as well as to the planter to return to Jbbe old days of low prices again. It will pay you to write a circular letter and send it to every planter you have any dealings with urging a reduction in acreage. Don't delay but get busy, as there is no time to lose. We must have a reduction in acreage to save the South. It is as much your duty as mine to help in this work. I get nothing for it. I again urge the members of theFarmers' Union and Southern Cotton Association to work to getherfor a reduction in acreage which means much higher prices for the balance of this crop and all the next one, as well as an in fluence on future crops. I want to hear from every section of the belt as to what you are doing in the matter. Write me and I will give you all the assistance I can. Don't delay but get busy now. J. A.

It is an exceedingly handsome building, is elegantly furnished throughout and has all modern conveniences. All entrances have imitation stone steps,the two side doors in front swing outward and there are two exits in the rear. To the right, as you enter the maia entrance, is the superintendent's cifiice, to the left is the teachers' room. There are six recitation rooms on the first fbor, four recitation rooms and the auditorium on the second Moor- Each recitation room has a cioak and lunch room adjoining it, and the windows are so arranged that the light falls over the shoulders of tho pupils as they sit at their desks, there being no cross lights. All desks are single and ball bearing. The auditorium is in the form of an amphitheater and will seat 500 people. The stairways and halls are very broad. Besides twe broad stairways about the middle uteach wing of the bunding, there are two narrow stairways leading to the rostrum in the auditorium. There are four closets which flush automatically and the heating plant is in the basement. The building was so planned that it will be easy to build an addi tion in the rear without detracting in the least from its appearance. COTTON ASSOCIATION 1NG. R5EE1- At the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Robeson Association Moaday a ResnluSlon Is Adopt ed Reaffirming I he Faith of the Association In the Good to he Obtaiaed by the Gradual Mar keting of the Crop. The regular monthly meeting of theRoeeson Cotton Associa tion was held Monday at the Op era House, a goodly number of farmers being present. Mr. A. J. McKinnon, of Maxton, president of tbe North Carolina Division of t he Sou the r Cotton Associa tion, was present and made a Shnrt. tall aloufq fcho lino rf hp work and" purposes of the asso ciation, and short talks were also made by president W. P. Barker, of the local association; Messsrs. R. D. Caldwell, of Lumberton; W. S. and E. J. Johnson, of St. Paul; and W. K Cdlbreth, of Raft Swamp Routine business was trans acted and the following resolu tion was passed unanimously: Whereas, there has been read at this meeting an editorial in The Charlotte Observer of May Drd, under the heading: The Cotton Grower and the Prices Staring at Him;" and whereas reference is made in said article to the policy of holding cotton with the idea of a gradual mar keting of the same, said refer ence oeing such as to argue the futility of such a policy; Therefore. Resolved, That we disagree with the editor in his views as expressed in that arti cle as to the benefit to be derived by the gradual marketing of cot ton as opposedjto the policy of rushing the crop on the market as soon as harvested, and that we reaffirm our faith in the good to be obtained by following the policy recommended by the as sociation as to the gradual mar keting of the crop.

Mr. Locke Craig has been pointed out in his candidacy for tke nomina tion for Governor as the repre sentative of the Southern Rail way Company and the Ameri can Tobacco Company, and for reply his fneds have printed a long list of Southern Railway attorneys who aro iftirii in i ho support of Mr. W.

The latest discovery of the worthies is that Mr. Craig is allied with the liquor interest and proof of this is found in the fact, and is circulated, that when the Ward bill was pending in tht: Legislature of 1905 he wrote a letter to N. Glenn Williams, of Yadkin, saying that in his judg ment the Legislature should not interfere with his (Williams') bus iness. This morning there are printed letters of similar tenor which Mr. W. W.
