GoccL Attendance at the Farmers'

The farmer's meeting last Saturday

the circumstances. Mr. J. O. W.
Gravely, of Rocky Mt., State organizer
of the Farmer's Protective Association,
of North Caiolina, was present and de
livered a short talk to the farmers. He
urged upon them the importance of
organizing, and above all that , they
ought to raise their own meat, meal,
corn, hay etc,, at home and not depend
Upon the supply stores and merchants
for these things. We wish every far
mer in the county could have heard his
talk. After Mr. Gravely's speech Dr.
P. J. Maoon was called upon and made
a few appropriate remarks. Mr.
Taster Polk, who was billed to address
the meeting, said he was too unwell to
speak. It was decided again to try and
