Accordion to reports being recelr- r central oirico of the North umllna Cotton Association, .North ern newspapers and speculators who o an me decencies and comforts of life, yet want the cotton nmrin..... to go back to slave wages, are solus iu icarn a mucn needed lesson thla year. In It's nmrket comment yester day The Now York Commercial says: Reports that the farmers of the South Intend to curtail planting are not credited. The bears say the plan haa always failed and will fall again. The weather for the last few days is Ideal and Insures a big crop." The Phila delphia Ledger rigorously denounces the South for proposing a reduction In acreage yet goeB on to say: "Few persons who know the South fear pro nounced reduction. Many will preach curtailment and promise curtailment and then go and plant more cotton themselves In the expectation that their advice will be followed by the majority, and they, Uu shrewd ones, will profit by raising a big crop. "It has been so manv times r probably will be so many times more. The South Is great for 'resolving bnt not so great tor performing un to the resolutions'' Nona of them doubt the oractlcebil Ity of our plans. They believe that pll nur promises ere "hot air" and big talk nnri th if wo will no, ly opposite and are betting their money tnai we w ll not keep our promises hv contracting to deliver the cotton mat we nave lot yet planted at 80 cents per pound. Some one Is going to get badly stung and It Isn't going to be the Southern farmer as he realises that the only way to keep otT prosperity Is to raise a big crop or cotton.

BURGE, MISSIONARY, SAYS CHURCH MUST KEEP PACE WITH WORLD, WHICH IS DOtNtl THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW, OB FALL H0PELE8SLY BEHIND. Appeals to Church to Make Supreme Effort and Sacrlf.ee at This Tlmo to Christianise World and Present Arms. Plans of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Indicate Uiat their field of work will greatly broaden In i lie wit tow months and will lucluda Europe and Russia. "The Methodist Church has been plodding along for nuujy yeura and haa made a record that every Methoilhit Is Justly proud ." said 11. T. Burge, of the Siberian Commission of the American Hed Cross, In a lettur front Vladlvostock that haa Just been received at head- quarters In Naahille. "It la time, however, for the Meth odist Church to do oniething sensa tional and unusual. All the world la doing things differently now and the organization that cannot keep pace must fall behind. We should go into the countries of Burope and Russia, be pioneers In a work that mlTht meat more to prevent future ware than the League of Nations. Christianise and tducate the peoples of the world and there will be no more wars. But It o have harmony by threats and faar and by constant show of force, I sea to reason why It might not bo another luestlou of 'a scrap of paper.' But It would be madness to at tempt any work In Siberia or Russia it this time. No complete or Intelll- lent Investigations can no made until antler Is restored, and from what I have seen it will be months before that tnsk Is accomplished. The cam paign for thirty-five million dtllxrs to be conducted May 18 to I'S will go a long way toward solving a big prob lem .

"So sudden," you say, yei for years I have stood At your doorstep each evening at 8; Did you think I had come for a talk with your ma, Or a word with your maiden Aunt Kale? Did you think when I sighed as I fondled your hand 'Twas dyspepsia thai iroubled me then? Or ihe cigars thai 1 bestowed on your dad Were smokes thai I would give 10 all men? Oh, the tickets for shows I have purchased for you, The automobiles I have hired, The lockets and bracelets and purses and things, All the gifts that I knew you desired, Thai 1 tenderly laid at ycur feet as a shrine, Tho' each cost me half a week's? pay, 1 thought that my actions betrayed my design, And yet, it's so sudden, you say!

Keporta from other cotton state In dicate a tike action by the cotton growers. An unusual feature ot the movement Is the active, enthusiastic participa tion ot bankers, merchaata and profes sional man. All .leases have awak ened at laat to ah a. sanity for co operation la an eflort to secure a legitimate price tor tke souths cot ton. Hitherto the farmers bav not act ed in concert and they had little as sistance fron other olaaass. They did the best they couM to control the market for better prl.es; but without organisation their efforts culminated In windy, wordy resolutions and atUI lower prices tor theer eotum. The methods by which the govern ment secured eo-oneretvaes la prevant lug foodstuffs going too high in price during tho war have beea an object leesoa to the cotton growers, and they are appropriating la aonse meaaure those methods to pre rent cotton from going too low la price ta tiro of peace. They are slgntag pledge cards to raise less cotton this ysar and by limiting the supply iacrease the demand and the price. They have passed beyond empty resolutions for publication. They are doing some thing tangible. Actiooo speak loudar than words. Th.y are in the road to the goal. Let them "keep in the middle of the road" aal they will reach that goal. Once they have demonstrated their power to secure living prices for their great agricultural product, the, will have won economic indepenoence for themselves, their children and their children's children In the yesrs to fol low.
