DeLoach of Northampton county. While the lectures and addresses at these meetings are always good and instructive, those devilered at this meeting were the superior of any we have ever heard on any occasion. The address on "The Warehouse Sys tem," by Hon. John L. McLaurin, former U. S. Senator and now State Warehouse Commissioner of South Carolina, was one of enlightenment nr.d qj-atory. The-address on "The Rural Credit System" by Mr. John Sprunt Hill, barker, ol Durham, was a gem and if he plans he outlined were 1 ut into working order tne farming interests in the South would noon b revolutionized. Ihe subjects of "Organization of Rural Communi ties", "Race Segregation", "Practical Cc-operation", "Taxation Methods", "Creameries and Cream Routes" and manv others were ably discussed. Perfect harmcny was in evidence througnout the entire session -and plans were laid out tor some great and effective worn to oe done Dy tne organization during the. next year. It would be o hard matter to gather a more intelligent-looking bunch of men than the farmers who attended the meeting in Durham last week. There ere plenty of brains working for th- best interest of the farming classes. Farm life -is -becoming more inviting and the educated classes are beginning to turn their attention more to farming.

Durham is ore of the best cities in the State, mrde up of 30,000 in habitants, mostly working people. It is one of the biggest tobacco man ufacturing centers in the world and is" the home of the widely known "Bull Durham" nlant, also the DuKe establishment. The Union men were shown through two or the big fac tories, allowed to o to any of the picture, shows, free and every other courtesy lmaginaoie was tenuereu vy the citizens of the town. A tree automobile trip was given by the people of the tewn to the State Uni versity at C.lapel Hill, a distance of about 12 miles wher a bountuui free dinner was served. It can be said that Durham did itself proud in the manner in which it entertained the farmer visiters and no doubt ev ery farmer who attended the meet ing left with a good impression of the town and its people. A renort of seme of the measures advocated by the Union will be found elsewhere in today's paper.
