Alexander, of the Farmers' Union, to consider the situation in regard to cotton, the following resolutions were passed Whereas, We meet in a time nothing lees than a crisis to all Southern interests, cotton is now selling below the cost of produc tion, to the great injury of not only our farmers but of every worthy interest in the South "Whereas, All the information we here received from every part of the South indicates that the crop is materially shorter than the government estimate indi cates, and we are confident that farmers who hold cotton will get an advance of from $10 to $20 a bale before spring. 'Resolved, That we earnestly urge farmers throughout North Carolina to refuse to sell a pound of lint at present prices, and that selves but act together through their unions or otherwise, to ar range for all other farmers to get advances on their cotton and hold for the higher prices that are sure to come; we earnestly urge all merchants and manu facturers to co-operate to this end nn i t r i mi Kesoivea zna. mat we urge that cotton be held in the seed. this plan materially benefitting the lint. "Resolved 3rd. That we ap prove the call of the convention to be held in New Orleans on the 23rd, and we appoint two dele gates from each Congressional district to attend that conven tion. Resolved 4th. That we most emphatically urge upon our peo pie the great opportunity for forming co-operative warehouses Such warehouses shall be or ganized by farmers or farmers in co-operation with business men. "Resolved 5th. That we regard the price of cotton seed as being as much below the cost of pro duction as cotton, and we should hold for better prices, or, best of all, feed to stock and get in full its two values both its feeding value and its fertilizing value. "Resolved 6th. That we re cognize that the only permanent insurance of better prices must be found in confidence that next year's crop will not be another bumper yield. We wish to present as the most important matter to come before the Governors' Con ferences and the most important matter for our Farmers' Union, is to take steps at once all over the South to effectually reduce the 1912 acreage. To this end we reco:nmend for consideration and amendment (with legal ad vice) the following plan, pre" snted by President A. J. Mc Kinnon: "That in order to protect the interest of the South that it is necessary for the acreage in cot ton to be reduced next year to a size that will avoid the possibility or a surplus tor the tuture and to accomplish this result we re- commend that the Farmers Union sign themselves and get the farmers in their respective communi ies, who are not mem bers of toe order, to sign the fol lowing agreement: j "For value received we, the un jdersigned farmers, land-owners : and tenants hereby agree that Give Aid to Strikers Sometime livr, kktaeya and bowela seem t.i g on a strike and refuse to work nhf: Then you ned those plearit little strike-breakers Dr. King's New Life Piiis to give thm natural aid and cently compel proper action.

Weinstein Will Replace Present Store Building Corner of Elm and Fourth With Handsome Building Question of Moving Building Amicably Settled. The trial of Mr. A. Weinstein on an indictment charging him with failure to comply with the recent town ordinance requiring buildings to be moved : off of streets, set for 3 o'clock Thurs day afternoon, was no trial at all. dor Mr. Weinstein merely asked for until the first of the year to have his building, corner of Elm and Fourth streets, moved, and instead of a trial Mayor White called a meeting of the town commissioners and this extension of time was readily granted. As a guarantee that the work will be done the first of the year a judgment will be signed, the title to the strips of streets upon which the building stands to be adjudged in the town and the town to have possession by Jan uary 1 next As guarantee that he will comply with the ordinance at the expiration of this time Mr. Weinstein deposits with the county clerk of the 'SuTrTX'eertl fied, cheek for $2,000 and in the event he should fail to have the work done at the specified time the town shall have the work done at Mr. Weinstein's expense, paying for it out of the $2,000 check deposited.
