Winston, N. C.. Fob. .'3.—breaks are Hiiiall at all the warehouses hero today. Prices are holding up v.ell. Since the market re-opeued on January 4th the sales have aggre gated 2,920,272 pounds, an increase over the corresponding month of last year of 1,154,(520 pounds. The average for the past month was 810.45 per hundred, and for Jan uary, 1508, it was $11.92. Since the beginning of the pres ent tobacco year the market has sold 19,050,2:13 pounds, an increase over the corresponding months of last year of it,174,100, or nearly 100 per cent, increase. The pres ent crop has averaged thus far $10.19 per hundred, against an average of $10.52 for the same months. However, in this year's crop the August sales are includ ed, a change having been made in the date of the tobacco year, and as the Augtffct sales consisted of over (100,000 pounds of primings, which never make a tiigli average because they can be used for only a few purposes on account of their inferior quality, the average for tho pas( two years can hardly be compared. Taking the sales from September 1 to February I both of years iu question and tlie aver age would be about the same. The warehousemen here wish to say to their many Stokes friends that they are doing their best for them, and will continue to do so, and that they will guar antee the highest prices for the balanco of the 1SM)8 crop.

ADDRESS TOFARMERS BY PRESIDENT ALEXANDER Delivered at First Annual Meeting of North Carolina Farmers' Union Held at Monroe, Dec. 16tb, 1908. As I behold this vast concourse of strong, intelligent men, I feel tliat this is an auspicious oocasiou for our organization. I recall the fact that the blood that Hows in the veins of the men before me to day is the same blood that carried their colors farthereet at Gettys burg aud was the last to furl them at Appomattox. Blood will tell We are legitimate sons of an an cestry of which we are all proud. Proud of their ricord in war. and proud of their achievements in times of peace. Returuiug from the battlefield to impoverished and devastated homes, without money, without credit, labor conditions utterly de moralized, our forefathers, with heroic courage, began the work of rebuilding our Southland and by an indomitable will, pluck and per severance they have bequeathed unto their children the greatest country in the world tcxlay. Then is it not reasonable to expect that the sons of such nobles sires will press forward, conquering and to conquer, even unto far greater achievements than those of their fathers? We know furthermore that great industrial achievements are not the result of individual ef fort, but of the combined labors of the many. No chain is, howevei, stronger than its weakest link. * j therefore, any organization whose -principles and policy do not cou , template and provide for the pros perity of the individual members 1 that make up the whole, is found ed upon the sand, and will not | withstand the storms of discontent, j lack of confidence, suspicion and j accusation, which are sure to as sail it sooner or later. But lam glad to say, that we represent an organization founded up ,11 Eter nal, God-given principles of jus tice, equity and the Golden Rule. An organization in which the com bined labors of the many are unit ed for the uplifting and betterment of the whole body. An organiza tion in which one member of the ' body can not Bay, to another, "I j.liave 110 need of thee." Unlike the great combinations of capital which Beek to bespoil the many I for the enrichment of the few, the I Farmers' Union is seeking for jus tice to all and special /jjvileg. s to none. . We aim not to tear dowj|sbut to build up. We de3ire not nor seek for prosperity at the expense of adversity to other vocations, but, since we are the oidy real produc ers of wealth, we demand as our legitimate right, a just and equit able distribution of that wealth, IWe believe in the righteousness of our demands, but we do not for one moment advocate or counten ance unlawful means to that end. We deplore the fact that there have l>een outbreak* of lawlessness l in our land. In some cases it was possibly due to a mistaken sense lof oppression, of injustice, of the deprivation of rights; in others to a spirit of pure lawlessness and re. beliiou agaiust authority. But in either case, the perpetrators of these crimes were in the wrong and should be sought out and brought to justice. You can never right a wrong by oommitting a greater one. And right here I ! want to submit that the Farmers' Union has never been in any way connected with or responsible for the crimea of the so-called Night Riders. We reoognize the fact that our aocceas depends upon our united efforta along legitimate lines. No doubt many of ua have aeen hard timet and have been greatly diaoouraged, and oar apirita (Continued on Page 2) No. 1,926
