IV.nomic Crisis nonfronts Cotton
Growlers. ;
In beginning his address Mr. Camp
declared, that the warehouse law pass
ori h the last Legislature ws the
hph adonted bv anv State in the
South and that it would be copied by
all the cotton-growing States; and
he explained how the lav was passed
at the time when it was m-St need
ed. He told of the economic crisis
that confronts cotton growers and the
importance of their waking up to the
sitiu tkn and getting togethi- to ward
off the pos&ible results of a slump
in the price of raw cotton while the
prices of manufactured goods con
tinue to soar. The speaker told of
how the jobbers and the' manufac
turers, were ,in position to protect
themselves and how if action was
not taken the farmer must bear the
burden of declining prices. He of
fered as a remedy, and the only rem
edy for the farmers, the storage ware
house for keeping cotton off the mar
ket Warehouse Plan.
In outlining the plans under which
the State 1 warehouses are to be ope-
rated, flir. uimp toia oi now -f v-mo,
,i . i i li a-i
is to be collected by the ginuer for
each bale of cotton ginned, this
money not to build warehouses, but
to create a fund with which ip back
the State certificate for cotton scr
ed and thus make it negoti able at
any bank. It is estimate! t it $200,-j
000 will be thus collected this year
and in three years a total of around
$600-000: will be derived , However,
the State will loan farmers and bus
iness men a certain amount of mon
ey to finance the building' of ware
houses, .probably an amount equal
to one-half of the warehouse prop
erty. . Plan For Building.
-The plan for building the 're
house, where . new ones are needed,
as outlined by Mr. Camp, is for the
farmers and business men to form
a corporation or co-operative body
and sell stock to all who ard inter
ested In the warehouse at , so much
per share, say $10. Where houses
are already available these can le
Tented, provided they meet the ap
proval of the State warehouse ciB-
cials, who will make thi proper in
vestigations . when asked to .do so. ..

COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK.
First Meeting Held at Tea Mile
Tuesday Njgfct Splendl Moving
" lopvnani r otk.
Active community service work'
was begun in Robeson county Tues-
day night when the first meitiniri
ws held at Ten MUe. Ten coiamu-
nities in the county have embraced!
ofjSf Mrtnty of having a part In
wn niu.ifc ninmiLum wors, wnicn will
be continued indefinitely in these
communities, provided the commuri
ties take the proper interest lu tne
work. Tne community service work
ers were well pleased with the meet
inir at Ten Mile, bnt no m !..
ed than were the people of the com-
m unity.
A meeting will be held in each of
the communities every two weeks
The program consists of short talks
and a six-reel moving picture show.
After the communities are thorough
ly organized for the work, afternoon
sessions will be held for the purpose
oi promoting physical fitness and lu
nior citizenship. The pictures shown
are furnished by the State and- are
educational and instructive. They
show the better methods of farming,
two reels of farm pictures being
snown at each meeting, besides two
reels of comedy and two war oktures.
Judging frfcm the pictures shown
Tuesday evening, the picture shows
are as good as one sees in the best
theatres in the towns and cities, and
nothing objectional is allowed to ap
pear on the screen. "
The picture machine is operated
by the dynamo mounted upon a truck
which is furnished by the State. A
new snow will be put oa at
cachi
meeting in a community.
One-thrrd of the expense of the
work is borne by the State and an
ahmission fee of ten cents is charg
ed to pay the other two-thirds. An
average of one hundred paid admis
sions to each meeting wil pay the
two-thirds left to the communities.
The work will be under the direct su
pervision of Mrs. Clairo 8. Thomae,
who will have the co-operation ot
Miss Martha Flax Andrews, county
home demonstration agent, Mr. O. O-Du-kes,
county farm demonstration
agent, Dr. E. R. Hardin, county
health officer, and Prof. J. R. Poole
county superintendent of public in
struction. One f the above-named
departments will be represented at
each of the meeting). -Mr, W. C.
Crosby, State dirctor of community
service work will attend the firs meet
ing in each of the ten communities
and explain the plans for the work.
The communities that - have put
on this work are Ten Mile, Oak Dale,
.rniiaaeipnus, rarkton, Qrtum, Pack
Swamp,. Rex, Centenary, Union Chap
el (Indian) and Shannon .(colored).
Robeson is fjie ninth county in the
State to take up this Aork.
The work should wove a front
help to these communities and no
doubt the citizens will take the de
sired int'iiest and receive the hpne-
fits offeroi them.
