campaign in icotton definitely collap
sed today, with the most spectacular
pprperidieular deciiue seen in a week
of erratic recessions. Reports' had v
that the position of the leading South j
ern bull has been complety undermined
by the contifJUl liquidation which
has .been in progress since early in the
year. At the low poiut today New
York contracts showed a decline of
from $5.2ti to! 5.6o a bale from the
closing prices! of the night previous,
which was ri;break of from $6.1o to
$G.5 a bale from the high figures of
the day,- and'of $13.33 to $14.25 a bale
from the high point of the season.
JVIay contracts touched 13:7o late in
the afternoon.
At the height of the bull campaign
it was estimated that E. Scales ot
'Texas, the leader, had accumulated
paper profits! of $lo,ooo,ooo for the
session. His heaviest holdings were
in May cotton and be and his friends
were generally believed at one time
to control contracts calling for the de
livery of fully l,ooo,ooo bales (luring

The situation had developed before

Mr. Boylia, don't you tbiuk a man

Well, what Is policy? Policy I think, is
just well just a fellow's afraid to apeak
his real houest mind. If soma were to
speak their real honest mind they would
nay it .was a shauie to send children to
iucii poor little uu painted shacks of school
houses. They would say it was a mrn
low down thing to ask a woman to teach
for the little salaries that tbey get.; They
would say that the teachers ought to be,
yery one of them, selected according to
their fitness, and that no teacher should
;' allowed to teach who did not . take au
interest in persuading the children to help
keep a nice school house; a teacher that
could and would plan with the childror
for their future life. Some teachers jut
don't know how, or do not care, whether
the children stay in a dirty, fifthy school
house or uot. But we have a njight.
good teacher, and we have oue of th
lest sclntol houses in the county and we
all feel proud of our school building" and
the mi a who have worked so hard to gvi
H for us. And, Mr. Boylia, two or tbrei
of the men who have done so much to help
us aiv uot native Anson people. We just
love them for their kindness to -us chil
dren and we hope every one of our native
Aoaouiaus will do as much as have the,
strangers who couiiug amoug us have
made themselves one of ns. We are glaa
to own luem as cilizons of our county. .
Mr. Boyliu, I guess you will ayree witl

that wheu I grow up I will never
have a
weeetheart becaust: uu oue would hav
ime to stop to r-ad niy letters.
Well, I will fret dowu to busiuess.
We drove on from Mr. H's house and I
was so happy I just could uot keep' still

ia the .county as Mr. H. to help her oat
But I ought not to say that because there
are many good men ia the county, me
with teu, twenty, tifty times a much
money as Mr. U., and perhaps they will be
willing to hflp some little girt like me to
roll up your subscription list.
Well as we were traveling alonf? wr
cune up to Uucle II-ury Harris's plac
and 1 said, '-Whoa fc'anuy." -
Brother said, "what do you want to
stop here for?"
'Subseribt'i's," said L
ilAsk Uncie Heury to subsctribf He i.
a colored man and can't read a word. "
'.Oh! but toele Heury will lielp me ou'
aud besides his 'children can read and
-Yiry luaB ousbt to have, a good paper
for his family if he is a colored man."
Uncle H nry was out in the cotton
oatuh picking some frost bitten cotton
vnd aluglnjr for all his mitrht, "Roll on,

and it is working hard to push it up high

peoples paper regardless of color, creed or

true and right reforms. It i$ the paper
that advocates the uplift of humanity,
ooth tor the w) ites and the colored. It is
your paper, it is my paper and it is your
bounden duty; yes, it is the duty of every
true Anson county man to be a subscriber
to the M. & I and pay for it ia advance.
My brother sidled up to me and stepped
oa my foot to attract my attention and
said, "Don't yon see you are getting
Cucle Henry confused? Do please give
him a chance to say a word or you will
miss a subscriber; you will just talk him
to death. ;
: Well, Mr. Boylin, my foot' hurt so I had
to quit .talking and Uncle Henry put in by
aying: "Little misses, you saysdat pa
per raises de price of cotton from ten cent
to fifteen cent?"
I said, "True as gospel."
He said, "Den I's done gone to take dat
paper sure." And In bis little house ho
went and brought out a couple of hah
dollars.
So that run our votes up to twelve hun
dred. Pretty good, don't you think?
Mr. H paid me ten dollars, he was an
old subscriber and his ten dollars counts
for one thousand. By the way, you say
five years ia advance counts five hundred,
now if they pay ten year in advance it
ought to be more than double, but count
ing it double I am entitled to one thou
sand One thousand for Mr. H. and Un
cle Henry being a brand new subscriber
counts for two hundred. ; That is as I un
derstand it. New subscribers count for
more than old ones who help us out by
paying in advance. ...
Mr. Boylin. I want to ask you a serious
question: Why is It men do not take any
more interest in the children's education
that they dof They do not seem to care
anything about the schools They never
tro out to see what is going on. I believe
one reason ts the teachers do not ask J
them; do not invite them to come to see.?

body is to blame. But when you take in- i

you take the trouble to Interest the gen- j

Well when brother and I got back heme
we had seen five persons and got help
i from each of them. A home all the peo
j pie wei-e anxious to hear of our success.
Mother said she thought we had done
very well. .Sister Fannie said we must
j have taken our own time, been very slow
! or that I had talked more than necessary
at each of the places visited. The fact is,
Mr. Boylin, I did do considerable talking
j but I believe as yon do about this cream
separator
business. 1 believe it is the
most important question the farmers can
talk on. When- we figure that there is
made in Ansou county not less than two
thousand pounds of butter each day by
the farmers, aud that butter is not sold
for more than twenty cents a pound on
an average: and that when we consider
that Mr. Morrison,, of Morven, says he
gets thirty-two cents a pound for alU". he
makes aud that the reason he gets it is be
cause he uses a De Laval cream separator
and that .all the farmers can do as well as
he if they will go to Mr. Benny Coving
ton, Wadesboro, N. C , and arrange to
get one of the separators'; taking these
things into consideration some oue ought
to help ou talk and wrtte until every
family in the county owns a De Laval
separator. ,
J jst thiok" of It Mr. Boylin; the saving
to the farmers even with lueir present
cows would amount to more than fifty
thousand dollars. Think of it, Mr. Boy
lin; we are losing enough in the county
?very year to by-seven hundred and fifty
cream separators, enougn money to build
a fine school house at each'sohool place in
our county; enough money, each year, to
put up a small size cotton factory.
Mr. Patrick said at one school he visited
that many thousands of dollars were sent
out of Southern Pines and Pinehurst
every winter lor butter, we saw a re
port from one man who had a separator
that said he sold every pound of butter he
uiads In Southern Piues and got forty
-ii ts a pouud for it.
Now, Mr. Boylin if we would buy De
Laval separators instead of buyiug chc-ap
organs and pianos at seveaty-tive to one
hundred dollars a piece we would be much
ttetter off.
In my next letter I am going to tell you
what father rhluks and how he suggested
a plan to lielp me get subscribers.
Father says 1 di.i ail right aud that T
may have fanny any Saturday I want to
go out canvassing lor the M. $c I. Brother
had a good time and will go with me. We
took our diuuer aloug and had a real pic
nic dinner by ourselves. : We certainly did
have a good time.
Mary Seago says she wants to go with
me next Saturday so she can learn from
uui how to talk for subscribers. It is easy
uough. There is pleuty of money in the
county this winter and the people know
lw-y ought to help the schools and every
family that has not already subscribed for
hew & I. wants it. All that is neces
;ary is to go to them and tell them you
tie taking subscriptions aud that the
chool gets the advantage. It is easy.

MONEY IN BUTTER.
Charlotte Chronicle. : -
According to promise. The Chron
icle prints today the details of a plau
being pursued by .the two-Wadesboro
papers to encourage impro veroe nt in j
butter-making in Anson county. It
was in... a recent conversation with
Colonel John T. Patrick Uiat tjw'teaij
means to the farming community of i
the South, was impressed nn, thi
,wnai in aeiaiiio impress upon, tne
farmers the possibilities ot making
good butter, and the loss they are now
sustaining by turning Out an indiffer
ent article.- It is estimated by Col
onel Patrick that we lose on an aver
age more than one huudred thousand
dollars a year in each county in the
State on butter, just because we make
inferior butter, and there is no sale' for
it outsid'of the local market. In the
piuey- a-tiods section of Southern Pines,
Pinebluff and Pinehust, and the other
resorts, there are thousands of dollars
paid for butter annually, and the pur
chasers do not buy anything less than
thirty cents a pound. The local men
around the place who have cream sep
arators and make good butter, sell
their product at forty cents a pound.
There is no reason why the farmer in
Mecklenburg, cannot sell his . butter
at forty cents iu the Southern Pinea
marktt. A Mr. Moirisoriat Morven,
Ans ;n county, is the only man in that
county who now has the proper out
fit for making butler. He sells his
product at thirty-two cents a pound,
wholesale. So it will be seen, there
is a cle.ir loss of twelve cents a pound
to the furNrtt-rs who sell their butter at
twenty ceets u pound. Colonel Pat
rick ttiii.ks it pay every newspaper in
the Siabr t. lake up the plau of th
Wtdeb;ro papers, because, as he
siy. if the farner makes this extra
mom yon his butter, he is more likely
to be a constant subscriber to the pa
per tluti he would be otherwise. He
has more money to spend for the pa
per and naturally he reasons the thing
out iu about thi- way: "I ought to tv
a .subscriber for this paper because
through it, I was induced to make
butter in the proper way and -1
havesaved money that otherwise I
would have lost if it had not been for
the ptper." Granted that and also
Colonel Patrk-k's futher elucidation
of ih idea that newspapers are offer J
ing i:ugi-3, watches and other things j
to get sucribers. These articles that
they oil -r d-j not "do the public any
good; it is just the individuals who get 1
them. In this scheme, very person j
within rea--h ol the farmer who has
the stpirator that is given to the;
school will be IxMiefited by thii lesson.'
They are constat,!' being taught by!
the pa rty ho owns the separator and !
who nt.twelve cents a pound more 1
for his butter than any of his neighVi
bors, that it pays to have the besf;
machinery on the farms. And again," ,
another thing in favor of the butter!
nmkiug scheme, is that it is of great';
advantage to the little fellows in gel
tiug 8ouir pleasure out of it. It en

PERT I.LIZ
Every year about this time the cotton planter (who
belongs to the church) fixes up a gamble with the weath
er and the farm hands and the mules and . the seed ' and
the fertilizer. -
Sometimes, he bets that three hundred pounds of
fertilizer ingredients all mixed "up at home will make a
bale to the acre. Sometimes, he bets four hundred, and
maybe eight hundred.. He wins sometimes and loses
sometimes, just like other gamblers. .
. The planter can't help himself about the weather and
some of the other things; but, unless he is just naturally
sporty and wants to bet, anyhow, he doesn't have to in
clude fertslizers in the deal. He can fix to have his
Fertilizer a Certainty.
The onld way to do this is to contract for machine
mixed goods of a certain guaranteed analysis, made by a
responsible manufacturer. Then every dunce will be
like every other ounce, and every single cotton plant
; will have as good a chance .is the best stalk in the, field.
v Calculate for Yourself.
Suppose 400 pounds of the best brand of mixed
fertili zer costs $6.00. -Suppose that under the best pos
sible conditions you could buy all; the ingredients to mix
a ton $2.00 cheaper ' than the manufactured article.
This is ten (10) cents per , hundred or forty (40) cents
an acre. Suppose, by some slight mistake in mixing,
a few plants got stunted and1 yeu lost four pounds of
cotton- - Wouldn't your forty (40) cents be gone.
Fotty Cents Per Acre
