MR DORSET! TAKES OVER
BOONE TRAIL STATION
G G Dorsett has leased the Boone
Trail Filling Station and began work1
there last Thursday] Mr Dorsett
had a splendid business when operi
ating the Green Top Station, ana
his many friends are delighted to
have him back in this same kind of

to see him on the corner of Endor &
Carthage streets

ahead until It is one of the 29 punch
asing co_ operatives in the nation
now doing business of more than a
million dollars annually
Recounting how the FCX way
started without one dollar of capi
tal stock, Mr Mann said that through
subscriptions of stock by farmers
themselves and savings made
through large scale purchasing the
tHe F C G has buil^ up a capital
and undistributed pjnofit in excess
of $48,000 As the greatest compli
ment that has come to (farmers who
have made the FCX possible, he
cited the fact that local hanks and
the bank for co operatives have
granted it a line of credit of
$200,000
xie pieau wren listeners to stick
by; their organization and purchase
at least a part of their supplies co
operatively in order that the FCX
may have a sufficient volume to
carry on and continue its sevice to
Lee county farmers ,
Turning to cotton and cotton Assn
Mr Mann expressed fear that the
acreage would be increased this
year and urged every farmer who
wants a profit from his cotton to
plant only the bast seed possible in
order that he may produce a staple
that will demand a premium when
it is sold
He fully expained the operation of
Association, which is now in its 15th
year of service and pointed to the
confidence placed in it by the banks
•of the state which now lend it mil
lions of dollars annual y at the low.
est rate in its history
The “Re_Purchase Pool,'1 inaugu
rated two years ago, enables any
farmer to know as much about the
tlrue value of cotton as the man who
is buying it, Mr Mann pointed out
All cotton handed through the Cot
ton Association is graded under the
supervision of a government licensed
classen* and the farmer is notfied of
its true grade and staple, along with
the value of the cotton, hut the “Re
purchase Pool" goes a step further
and provides that the delivering
Jfaamer may aslc for prices elsewhere
and* if he is not offered more
his cotton on the outside than he is
quoted by the cooperative, he can
get, it back and sell it to the one off
e3ng the most money
“Tray ,the Re Purchase Pool plan
guarantees farmers who use it tbs
high dollar for their cotton crop/'

done at a small cost If the people
living along these highways would

THE LIQOUR QUESTION
Following is the full text of the ad
dress made by Rev C B Culbreth at
the meeting of the Kiwanis Club
last Friday night:
The people of the state are divid
ed into two camps on the liquor ques
tion, popularly known or designated
as “the wets and drys“
One of the most subtle and mis
leading claims of some of the peo
pie is, that the cause of temperance
can be advanced and the consump
tion of liquor decreased by placing it
where it can be more easily obtained
That argument is contrary to
both reason and experience, for more
liquor, better liquor and bigger bar
rels will never, in my, opinion, con
tribute to the advancement of tem
perance and sobriety
When any considerable number of
our fellows have become so stupid
and spiritually blind as to advocate
the manufacture and sale of liquor
for personal and social profits we
should hang our heads in shame;and
when they advocate the manufacture
and sale of liquor as a means of ad
vancing the cause of temperance and
achieving .a great moral reform it is
time for the gods to weep
luuvit a iiioic
prophetic statement, and one based
on historical fact that when he said
in hi8 inaugural address the other
day, “You will never build either a
great state or a great country upon
the profits fnjn the sale of liquor**'
Both wets and drys are aware that
immediate and absolute solution of
the liquor jiaestion is not in Bight
But the way to advance temperance
is certainly not in manufacturing,
advertising and setring more liquor,
whether sold by bootlegger, the coun
ty liquor stores or state saloons
I do not think that it would be un
just to say that the large majority
of those who favor the manufacture
and sale of liquor do so because they
.hope to profit in some way, either
directly or indirectly from it, or be
cause they want it more easily ob
tainable .for them to get for
. own. CODSOfllptiQD ,. vt0£ "8 ?
"He aiTfranemtnat sincewe Save
liquor, and will always have it legal
ly or illegally that it should be made
to bear its share of the tax burden
of the state is logical if that were
the only alternative; if that were the
only hope we can have of dealing
with the prullem I would join in its
support at once; I cannot see and I
do not belyieve that many of the ad_
vacates see, that to legaJize liquor
and make it more easily obtainable
will contribute to the solution of this
social eveil or advance temperance
and sobriety Some of us, looking
down the long groove of time,believe
that temperance can be advanced
and the manufacture and sale ol
liquor so limited that the effects of
alcohol upon the races of men will
be reduced to a small minimum
•■***3 ‘■“u never De a.*..
complished, I hasten to reply,
That is what the advocates of that
feudal system of the middle ages
said but a group of men arose and
said that it must go, and it did go,
and with it the social evils foster.,
ered They said slavery could not be
abolished, but it is gone and no
body now advocates it Great social
reforms appear to be impossible and
impracticable to those whose faith
is weak and whose inclination is to
“go widh the wind, and they say ‘It
cannot be done" do know what the
immediate outcome of the liquor
question will be in our state, but
for me, that is not the most im
portant question
The most important question with
me, is whether I am honestly and
sincerely seeking to do the will of
our Lord and Master in His divint
plan cif the ages to evolve the race
and raise it to that high moral stand
ard of living and spiritual insight
which Christ died to achieve
Some of usTlike Moses of old, are
willing to suffer the afflictions with
the people of God lather than enjny
tre pleasures of sin for a season,
and with Abraham, “We look for a
city which hath foundations whose
builder and maker is God"
