This may be the last car before fall, so sell the hens that you do not expect to keep. The price on broilers at this car seems to me to be too low. Richmond is still paying around fifty cents a pound for broilers and express and commis sions will hardly make the differ ence. The price on hens is about right and will save you trouble as compared to shipping. WOOL The following firms buy wool: Hirsch Bros., Cumberland, Md.; Higgins & Waters, Baltimore. Md., and Chatham Manufactur ing Co., Winston-Salem, N. C. The last named firm also makes blankets in exchange for wool. If you haye not sheared your sheep this should be done at once.

JllCOtt Uncle Tom Jilcott is dead. For years his strength bad been fail ing. He didn’t profess to be good; but in the days of his strength he ministered to the needy. Somebody was disabled —he helped to do his work; sick he stood by and served; dead — he helped to bury them. His pleasure was found in helping another. He often denied him self. Any faults? Yes, but he did a sight more for his fellows than some of us good ones have done. Shame on us of the man tribe, that in his last hour none of us stood by. Praises and blessings be upon a few good women who prepared his body for burial. G. H. B.

Knigtit Delivers Inter esting Address to Kirby Township Farmers-More Farmers Clubs The Kirby Township Farmers Club held its regular meeting at Conway Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Mr. J. H. Stephenson, president, presided over the meeting. After an opening pray er by Mr. Price and special music by the Conway quartette and solo by Miss Francis Flythe, Dr. C P. Parker, aspirant for theN. C. Legislature, introduced Mr. Ballard S. Gay of Jackson, • a promising young lawyer, who in turn in a very appropriate speech introduced Dr. Edgar W. Knight of the University of North Caro lina, Dr. Knight said he was de lighted to be back in his native county, the place which he has more affection for than any place in the world, and while he might not be able to always call his friends, of by gone days, by their first names, he hoped they would not think hard of him, for many changes have taken place since he left the county and com munity of his birth. Dr. Knight was born about two miles from the town of Woodland on the road leading to Rich Square. Dr. Knight has recently re turned from a trip to Europe the greater part of which was spent in the little country of Denmark and it was about this country and lessons he got from the progres sive Danes that he talked so in terestingly and entertaingly for more than an hour and a half. Denmark is mostly rural, is about one-third the size of North Carolina, but has more people than this State. The basis of their success has been their agriculture. The success of their agriculture has been rightly at tributed to cooperation. Every thing in Denmark is done co operatively, buying and selling, in fact 90 per cent of the people of Denmark belong to coopera tive associations. Cooperation in Denmark is nothing new, they having operated cooperative as sociations for over 50 years suc cessfully. As a consequence they are the most highly en lightened people in the world. While there are no millionaires there, there are no poor people either. Every one is prosperous. There is no illiteracy. There are 190,000 adult white people in North Carolina who cannot write their name. 50 per cent of our population do not own the roof over their heads. 46 per cent of all our farmers in North Carolina are tenants, while in Denmark only 4 per cent are tenants and illiteracy is less than 1 per cent. “Less than one hundred years ago,’’ said Dr. Knight, “thepeo ple of Denmark who are in pow er today were peasants. Today peasantry has disappeared, ten ancy has gone, poverty has gone and the thing that made all this possible can be exnressed in the one word COOPERATION.’’ Why, the doctor said the people in Denmark even die coopera tively. For instance they have their cooperative tubercular as sociation and one contracts that dreaded disease he joins that association where he gets every possible attention and if he has not allowed it to run on too long, he is nursed back to health and if he cannot be cured he knows he will have a decent burial. It is impossible for a bad egg to get on the market in Denmark, for not an egg is sold that does not bear the date when laid and the (Continued on page eight) Baptist Pastor Loses Mottier by Death-Church and School News-Personals Mr. and Mrs. D.
