J. Ev eretti the efficient food administrator for Pitt county." Evenj farmer pres ent at . this meeting was so carried away with what he had to say that this paper endeavors to give a digest Of it... It will pay every reader, par ticularly those engaged in tilling the soil and not present at this meeting, to" carefully persue it' for we consider it worth while. Mr. Everett said : CottonA faimrr-'j-face'va-eifisis ; have last year's crop on hand; the ; price Is low and the planting season j is upon them. . In 1014 whPn tbfl war bprt. in Fn- rope cotton became worthless, while the associate commodities of wool, beef, pork, iron-ore, coal, leather and wheat advanced three hundred per cent. When in 1918 the war ended these held their high prices and leather went higher, while cotton made a sharp de-, ri, H10 production of cotton is limited to the South less then one-fifth the United States, and every other one of the commodities named, is produced in prac tical!(7 every country- of the world. The wlfeat farmers are organized and had their elevators, the meat producers had their refrigerators and the leath er and- wool people fix the prices them Iselves. " Cotton is a, nation-wide rie- frceasity T with J few substitutes while there are many for the others. In Sie war" it was used to -make explosives; a curative -for bandages, for clothes and , camp, " equipment, while in civil life every one wore cotton. In Eu rope today the- people are without clothes, bed-clothes, house-hold and kitchen necessities. There is great need for and will be great demand for the present crop when business conditions are adjusted. Europe . has no credit basis or business , organization, ma chinery destroyed of stolen, and has not to any extent recovered frorii the confusion and destruction of the war. With these conditions adjusted and relations established, if farmers held their cotton arid did not plant too mucn' they would get profitable prices The"- farmers' have already made the present ; crop worths ten ' cents per pound move by holding It than if they had sold and if they continue to hold and do not plarit they will realize fen cents, niore on the presentprice. -God has" not done a -vain thing ln making! a supply of cotton through the agency of the southern farmer but they must profit b,? their service to humanity. The difference: between ; the . .cot ion farmer arid the producer of every oth er, commodity - is . organization. - Some Conference is Ekpected;15th ' ''-v'. ; ',-1-. .' , 1 ' ' vr---:" V .' ". 7.'

Cotoa is today the only commodity. ttat has no organisation "to control its -price and product, consequent! the price is-fix- Hed by those who buy llt and speculate on It. The cotton farmer cannot- fix the price for anything he buys to grow tcbtton and cannot fix the price -of cot is they ifself the slaveof-both the buy er aQd geller Jq Enrope'today there is a demand for food and clothes an(j our people should diversify and divide their crops. Relieve the bread line stampede in Europe aud cotton stagnation in Amer ica's crops. By organization theiv can reduce acreage, diversify with food crops, establish a safe financial basis and sell same dining a period of twelve months rather than dumping it on the market in three months. The cotton mills were Mining iu paj a i raiunaun price provided their competitors could not buy lower, it is all the same to them they "put the cost of manufactur ing on the price of cotton. The banks loan the money when they felt that a staple had been reached and the length of time the loan was to run. The farmers themselves would have confidence In their own business when a staple price, had been reached. Koue of these things can be accom plished except bp organization. As things have been only crop of cotton out of each fall was profitable and no business of permanency could bevestab lished out of this-uncertain business basis. Mr. Everett further said: That. the farmers have organized their energies and resources and given their stalwart sons to save this country in the great war and that they should now organize to save themselves. That with the organization, of the farmer to control the quantity and price of cotton, with the enlarged ocean transportation pro vided by our government and the ex tension, of our banking system-' to L af ford exchange in. foreign countries. If the farmers would' take care ofihem selves through this crisis and avoid bankruptcy we are destined to become the,. richest agricultural center In the world. The character of our business should assume some -firmnss and not be like the flimsy fiber' of our com modih? and shy at every, breeze that blows, but like the kite and her asso ciate commodities; the stronger the breeze the higher it should fly. Cot ton was timid and shy because it had no organization to support Jt. . the preliminary peace March 15th, it is stated that the Germaa plneipoten tiarels will be 'called in fojr. conference on that date, is the newspaper's fore cast. . - - '. .

Funeral of Four Gallons of Booze Took Place Today The jfuueral of four gallons of "mon key rum" took place this morning in front of the court house with Chief Brewer as the .undertaker and several bystanders the mourners. The boose rwas captuied sometime back by Police man Hobgood.- The ' officer ;jmr::iff-- a M omqbite pass Five Points without stopping hailed to the occupants and they pay ing no attention to him he jumped in a' car arid gave chase The parties occupying the car being closely chas ed by the officer, seeing they were going to be run .down decided to re lieve themselves of their booty so they proceeded to throw it out on the street. One of the jugs broke but the other two were taken in by Police man Hobgood and carried to the arch ives of the city where -it rested- un molested until this morning when Mayor Dunn decreed it should be con fined to the gutter and from thence to mingle with another earth. It's bur ial occasioned no little regret from those standing try who are opposed to such methods of destruction.
