"Aa a man thinketh In his heart so la he." A Tune of Peace. I bring to the Farmers L'nion the glad tldlnga that peace reigna within our borders.

This la cause for gratification under any cir caunstanees, because In union there Is strength: but in this day when the fraterlcidal spirit seems to be doml . nating half the world, tt. la peculiarly sa.rauiae for thankfulness. - ahall '-not 'take w yr"-Om-t- entering Into details of the work of Ik State l.'nlonbut will refer you to ths reports of the . officers in charge of the several departments or tne work.

Your president in nis oe partment haa "done the best he could' ' Ha haa had an able and efficient co worker in the vice-president. Judge ua according to the alncerlty of pur pea and the energy of effort and not Mr our mistakes and failure a. : Ton are more or leas faimilinr wtth the efforts of the Plate t'nlon to save the cotton and tobacco crops to the farmers. This was a condition out of the ardlaarr end one which rha Far men' L'nion had not planned for and which the Southern farmers were not orenared to meet without aerioua loss. '- stiff fight they have made to save the nroduct of their lahors. in my npi nlon- the holding movement prevent ed cotton from going much lower than It did. If we continue to hold and re duce acreage next year at least 60 iter cent. I believe the crop yet un sold, of both cotton and tobacco, will command a much better price than it ia bringing today. Sow Small tiraln And now Is the time to begin the acreage reduction b spwlr.gr the lands in small grains. This has been snd Is being done more largely than ever i before. ine open rurrow rarinwi, especially for oats, should be used in late seeding. I want to Bay with all possible em phaala that for general farming the only safe method Is dlversif.ratlon of crops. The growing of all food crops for man and beast. The farmer who plants cotton or tobacco next" year to the neglect or iooa crops ior noma use. ought to have a guardian appoint ed for his children, and grant his wife -. a divorce. i Responsibility for Large Cotton Crop Just her let me aay inu me aver asre home owning farmer ia not res uonstbla for the large crop of cotton S and the shortage In food supplies. The large landholder- the absentee land holder, and the time merchant are responsible lor.the one crop system of farming. Acreage reduction and di versification shouldbegtn with them and be carried further than with the mell farmer. A titan fair to all is t,t a,.i.t-,l hv the mis meeting -of farmers held in Kaieign in nepiemoer. That no farmer plant more than one- fourth of hia cultivated acres in cot ton." Ftatit Before Congrrea. Just a brief statement of the Tight made bv ths farmers before Congress. Wo had aeen our value shrink 50 per cent within sixty days because of a temporary suspension of foreign de mand. We asked for a loan of cur rency at a low rate of Interest that w might Day our obligations and hold oar crops until the demoralisation of markets due to tne Kuropean war naa tpassed. Under the constitution of the United States. Congress alone has the gwwur Is "T"' meney -and regulate he value thereof. rma is a rigm that belongs to the people and Con gresa haa no. right to take it away from Ike people and give It tq a small clasa of the citlsenship. But this haa been done. The government coins money and. prints money but instead of lssu- ins It direct to the people at a low rat of Interest. It Is turned over to i ha National Banka and they control thw distribution of It and the rate of interest Just aa it suits their owp interest. The government turned .a deaf ear to the Just demands of i the farmers I but continues to Issue cheap money to the National Hanks of the country. Hnwlmt of MilUotM in Jstemt The banking system of our eountry haa enabled the few to levy tribute on the many without giving in return a value comensurat with- the- tax im posed. Something Hke seven hundred million dollars .are paid In Interest alow every year.-to say nothing of the manipulation of -prices which re aUs from oontartlon and expansion - of ths volume of currency at the plea sure of the great financier. ' da all of the banking tartness of the country on a low Interest rate for the benefit sot all the people, and not for private and unlimited gain as now ob- .taine. If the experience we- are now pass ing through serves to unite all the farmers and laborers In. demanding l erst era of fanners banking Adapted to thehr needs, backed by the govem .; meet and Independent of the com mercial banka,. thea tt will bo. well .REDUCnON. - worth the cost, though bought at the aacrttlce or a crop. la this arraignment of tho bank lng system. It ia tho system and the men responsible for 'the system that. I condemn and not tho honorable citlxens engaged in tho business of banking. The system la wrong and ran not bo made to do Justice to all tho people. . Mast Hang Together. In addition to -the financial reforms which the people need and are en tttted to. and must and will get In time, there are . many other matters to which we must direct our united ef forts. There must be no "let up" In or relaxation of the active work of organisation. The people must be made to realise the necessity for hang lng together. Aa Franklin said "If we don't all hang together, we will all hang separately." And there must bo a definite purpose in orgsnixation. In action means death. Make a dlag- nosla of the economic diseaaea that affect your 'community and your class then find and apply the remedies. Don't let your locality be like a boy with hookworms. Co-opera Uo n. A more economical method of buy ing and selling most be established. This can only be done successfully through farmers Warehouses and bust ness agents. These, enterprises should be conducted on the Rochdale system of co-operation: which Is that divi dends be limited on capital and the balance or profits paid to patronage. This is the only true co-operation business. i , Kvery co-operative enterprise, whether limited to one or two local unlonls or extended to one or more county unions, should be launched for a definite purpose, to obtain spec! flc benefits, the business to be en 1 urged as wisdom and experience may direct. All of these agencies should be federated through the State Union and In this connection I commend for your consideration a report adopted by the county business agenta in see- signal- Hallg.h.ln. October. . Ignorance Is- the- bane ff any people. . .Through. ignorance the farming and laboring people have aubmltted to gross Impo sitions tee grievous to be bourns by an educated populace. For lark of knowledge in" our palling we have been inefficient laborers. The returns are not commensurate with the bur den of our efforts Wise planning and Intelligent direction are essential to the success of any business. , KduowUon a Necessity. Therefore, the Farmers' l.'nlon must cdjoinua.to emphasise the absolute necessity or an educated agrrrunurM clasa Agriculture and domestic si-ience and art should be taught In every State school from the free schoo to the University, and Farm Life Hchools should be established, one or more, in every County in the State, Farming must be made more profi table and farm life more live hie. Kdu tion of the right kind will enable the farmers to make It so. This will save the rural South. The Rural Problem. The rural problem: What Is the rural problem T It Is to keep the lands occupied by an Intelligent, ef ficient, home owning citizenship Kverybody is concerned In reaching correct solution of this problem. The supply of foo4 and clothing for the nation is Jeopardised. Poplatlon increased II per cent the last ten years: farm products Increased only 1U per cent. I rban population In North Carolina increased 15 per cent, rural population Increased only 1Z per cent. Tenant farming In North Carolina Increased 11 per oent with In tho laat 10 years, until now 4 3 per cent of our farmers are tenanets. The white farmers of North Carolina own nearly a million acres less land than they did ten years ago; the negro farmers own a quarter of a million acres more land than they did ten years ago. One very good reason why the Farmers' Union has endorsed segregation of the races In land owner ship. At already indicated, an educated rural citlsenship WUI'; find a solution of this problem: ft will be In belter farming, co-operative buying and sell lng. co-operative ownership of pure -blooded live stock and farm machi nery, more labor saving appliances on the farm, and especially In the -farm home; telephones, good roads, good schools snd churches, and better paid teachers and preachers. Invoke Ijnrt -dative rower. And an educated cltiienshtp would Invoke the legislative power of the State in solving the promem. uor- Doratlons would be prohibited from owning more land than actually need ed for their business, and not at all for farming purposes. The large In dividual land holdings would be taxed at a higher rate than the small estates. ft that rich men could not afford to buy up land and hold It for specula tion. This is a graduated land tax nd is just and equitable. An absent landlord tax would be imposed upon the lands of non-residents The unearned Increment of vacant nds held for the increase In value that comes from community develop ment would be taxed for the benefit of the community. And thus the spe culative price of land would be cut down and prices would be determined by productive value. The greater part of the wealth Increase of the Southern farmer, as indicated by the census reports, is due to this speculative In crease In price of his land. He must sell and become a tenant In order to realize hia increased wealth. Other Problems. But there are other problems than rrm-nfrTnaOoTrIed TUtal pf ohtem "that n Intelligent citlsenship will tackle and solve. (Just now we may feel a little discouraged in tackling any pub lic ouestlon since the constitutional amendments seem to have bean de feated. But this only proves the need of more information on the part of the Deo ale. If all the voters had ful ly understood the amendments, I be lieve all of them would have' been adopted. The campaign was too short in which to educate the people.) A Program or Things Keeded. I siauld juggeBL lirietb. othraues- Uons for your consideration. A State wide legalized primary for all parties nn the same day and for all officers from presiding to constable, is abso lutely essential to tho bext govern ment of and rdT and by tn people. This should he backed by a corrupt DracUce- act- with teeth in .- The elimination of unnecessary officers and employees wherever posslbel in State and counties. The budget system of appropriations for all Suae institutions This would tend,-to- efficiency and eco nomy and do awsy with lobbying Irk the General Aasemoiy. To stuay tne State. To study the question of fire insurance by the State government. A system of State warehouses equipp- for the handling of all kind of crops; the same to bo paid for by ths farmers over a term of years, and to be owned by tho farmers when paid for. ' -- : ' -' ' An enlargement of ths force and an extension of the work, by the Do partment of Agriculture, in practical co-operative marketlag . of all farm prod seta.' tt would ,be of Immense benefit to both prod soar and oossumer and add greatly- to the wealth of ths state, u economic marketing an aia trlbutloa could bo provided for all tho food product of every kind that are now going to waste. It will also stlnrulata diversified cropping ia ths cotton and tobacco countiea if ready markets are found for the various other crops adapted to thee counties. Method of Text Book feupptv. Some reform im needed In the method of text book supply, both for ths public schools and Stat collegea In the aggregate this amounts to an Immense tax on the people- It is presumed of course that all changes in text books are Justified by the superior merit of the books adopted; but some of us can recall the time when there "wem't" any speller but ths "blueback". and If wo "learn't how to speak good Kngllah, (and there are some of ut that didn't), we had to get It from "Smith's" or King ham's" grammar; and for "dpherinV if a boy could "work everything" In "Darlea" and "Robinson's" arithme tics, he was considered grotty good in "riggers. I am not sufficiently familiar with the subject to make suggestions as to a remedy. It aa occurred to me tnat the Stat might profitably establish a plant and do all the printing and binding required by the State gov ernment. Including Mtate text-nooks. Of course there might be serious ob stacles In ths way, such aa copyrights owned by other publishers. But something ought to be done to 1 this annual tax on ths people. If nothing else can be done, th-n I would advocate the State's furnishing text books for the public schools. Court Reforms Needed. Reforms sre needed In our courts to make them more considerate of the ""iire the people, more economi cal In administering the law and more expeditious and Just In determining causes. All Juries should be chosen by the County Commlnaloners, or a Jury com mission eatabllKhed for that purpose. All peremptory challenges should be abolished and no man should he ex cused' without cause. And Jurors should be paid more for their services. Judges should be required to render excuses for tardiness to the Clerk of the Court snd these excuses should he published In the county papers. The time allowed for pleadings should he cut down. The pleading of more technlcallitles should never be per mitted. All cases should be-forced to trial within a given time or erased frnrrhedre., .. there are ex ceptional' cIrcurRTarircir--rrnder whtrh such a course would defeat Justice. People Mnwt Demand. Such reforms will not be obtained unless demanded by the -people. . It Is not to be expected that ths legal fraternity will advocate changes that would curtail the power of the law yers, or injure his business. That would bo unnatural. No other class would do it. voluntarily.. An Intelli gent man. well, known. In. bis section of the State, m this remark to the writer 4 .

Is advocated In many counties of ths State and I have had several letters fvorlng such action. One of the cardinal principles of the Union Is 'to discourage tne credit and mortgage system. You should consider this question carefully. I.et me say further without telling you why, that I favor woman suf frage. I ae Cotton BaggtrMr. To Increase the consumption of cot ton, I suggest that -all Southern far mers not only use cotton bagging here after for parking cotton but that all farmers, merchants and others insist upon the sacking of all fertilizers, cot ton seed meal, garln and other feed stuffs In cotton bag. In this connection I would say that Dr. M. A. Illand of Charlotte, N. C, has discovered a compound for treat ing sacks to make them acid proof. It Is cheap, and It has been demon strated that the use of It will greatly increase the life and holding strength of acks. thus making It poslble to use lighter weight cotton sacks than would olherwlre be necessary to carry acid phosphate. We should Insist also on fertilizers being tut up In 100 lbs. sacks. In a former annual address I sug gested that the Farmers' Union should adopt a uniform made from cotton, to be worn at all of our meetings, at thtx time when . we have a supply of cotton exceeding the demand. It would he the part of wisdom to wear rtrtton iiH t- time. The ladles of the country have started a campaign for enrtnn dresses, gowns, etc.. which I heartily Indorse. It Is more economlcall). you know. Then why should not we men be equal ly as loyal to the Interests of the cot ton farmers? This la loyalty to the South. Community Service Work. I would commend for your earnest consideration, the bulletin on Com munlty Service Week." I Would urge ths co-operation of all members of the Union in carrying out the pro grams suggested. D not neglect the community survey. It will enable you to make a diagnosis of tho troubles that are retarding the growth and de velopment of your community. We sneak of a "dead" local union, I dead church or school; these con stitute a very vital part of the com munity life, and the chances are that you will soon hays a "dead com munlty. Iff you do not turn physician. diagnose the diseases, find the remedy and apply It. Agitation necessary to Reform. My purpose in making many of these suggestions Is to get thfl-.neoule to tninaing ana taming, ah .reforms for the good of the people originate with the people. Political parties and politicians do not take the initiative. Agitation (not In bitterness or strife), promote education gnd education will eventually lead to a reformation of all public evils and Injustices.

In Philadelphia, they Instinctively remove their hats They are, in the presence of a great and serd transaction. The depths of reverence are touched. So when we approach this story of the Cruel ftxion we peupe and bow our heads In awed meditation. This is the great est theme that mortal pen ever es sayed. Here is the apex of history Calvary is the cross-roads of time At a common wooden, bloodstained cross on a hill outside the wall of old Jerusalem, heaven touched earth, Even the cherubim and the arclian gels must veil their faces aa they contemplate Calvary There never was an hour in all the long course, of time when mankim was i l aillar rn- heal Heir T0Tt1tr W6Ty ,ff the Cross and it broken-hearted Vic tim than now. when the spirit of the world la crushed In sorrow.
