I tl.c (Hficerrt and Mem hers of the
Farmers' Union:
r i "
From the firet moment that I was
,.i,rustei with the presidency of this j
. i -.i i
i.iit organization, il hum mwnjr
I-hi in v effort to avoid the note of
1 1,, alarmist or the sensationalist.
But the time is come to speak
jiltiinl y retfardiiiK a matter that in of
the first importance, not only to tho
furmerH of the South, but as well to
tlit- hunineHH men and the people of
t!,t. South generally.
It Ini not ewaied the attention of
t!,.. in.t thoughtful that an English
vii.lu ate recently acfpiireil a lare
i). r. ne of tine cotton lands in one of
tin- n-iitral Southern StateH.
The tacit purpose is to produce
cotton on these lanus mr milium
Miinners, tlius avoinuiK
i 1
dependence
upon the Southern cotton farmer.
If this were just one inslance, it
ne'! not occasion concern.
But it has come to my attention
tfuit Himilar negotiations me on
foot in ( In r portions of the cotton
Ult.
What is more significant, 1 am also
it. forim-d that foreign spinnersgener
allv are contemplating the advisa
hilitv of buying large tracts in the
Southern States, and produce their
own staple.
Of cource, in each one of these
cases, the most scientific methods
will he employed, as much cotton
will he raised to the acre as the spec
ialist can extort, rotation and fertili
zation will be used to retain the
richness of the soil, and the latest
improved farm machinery will be on
the program.
We o-iiinot censure foreign spinners
for projecting this movement. It is
simply a business proposition with
t hem.
It should n'so be a business propo
sition of the South to take cogni
zance of a movement that may throw
the balance of power in our so called
'monopoly" of cotton into the hand
of foreigners.
ndsuchis the inevitable conclu
sion of the policy under debate by
Kmrlish and continental spinners.
The meaning of such a develop
ment is plain.
Hundreds upon thousands of
Southern farmers would becompelled
to compete upon the open market
with a product raised by the buyers
upon our own soil and by the most
improved methods.
The demand fir native-grown cot
ton would dwindle ns these forelgn
owne.l farms came into their full pro
ductiveness. .A
Prices might, probably would, be
controlled by mill interests as abso
lutely as they used to be controlled
by cotton exchange operators before
the days of the Farmers' Fnion.
The "penalty would not be confined
to the farmer.
It would le visited in a greater or
less degree upon every business in
the Southern States, since Southern
business and cotton are, as yet, in
separable financial factors.
The stream of gold now coming in
to the South each year from Europe
would lo lessened. Cotton, winch 18
now one of the South's greatest re-i
limices for preserving the
interna-'
tional balance on the right side,
would lose much of its vitality in
that direction.
1 am speaking temperately, lie-
cause this menace is yet no larger ;
than a man's hand. We can avert it,
and we must go ahout the task
without delay.
Conditions under a general inva
sion of foreign land buyers would be
disastrous. The absentee landlord
ism that is making life such a strug
gle iu England, and more of a strug
gle in Ireland, might be reproduced
on a proportionate scale in this
country.
The one way for the Southern far
mers to acquire their own acres and,
what is more important, to use upon
them the most scientific cultural
methods. It is a case of fighting the j
,i....;i .:.i. fe
ii v u a ure.
We may as well face the truth now
us later. " And the truth is that cot
ton growing in the South will not
reach a genuine business basis until
every farmer makes every acre re
turn its maximum, until he reduces
the cost of production to a minimum
and raises his own products.
Von may ask how this is to be done
when hundreds of thousands of far
mers do not own their own farms,
or aro under obligations to land
lords. We can, first, help ourselves. We
can do that by sacrificing, pinching
and scraping, until all of us get out
of debt and accumulate enough to
make first payments upon farms
We can, next, reinforce this policy
by utilizing scientific methods, and
all the help we can get from the Far
mers Union lectures, and government
agents and State and Federal agri
cultural departments and experi
ment stations. Hand in hand with
this should go scientific marketing
and distributing uuder co-operative
auspices.
In this battle with a problem that
is going to grow in a geometrical ra
tio, the aid of the Southern business
man is needed.
The banker, the merchant and the
capitalist will find it to his ultimate
Interest to co-operate to the end of
enabling the farmer to own his own
acres, and further, to talk scientific
agriculture to him in the most prac
ticle form. He should likewise en
courage the farmer to co-operate
with his fellows.
Iu this matter, as in every other
that goes to bedrock, we are all in
the same boat.
Providence has givea to ii9 what
amounts to a world-monopoly, or
control of cotton production.
To hold the control, we must meet
world-wide conditions in the proper
way.
It is equally to the interest of the
richest and the poorest man in the
South to see that tbe farmer owns
bis acres and that he uses upou them
modern and intensive i

. ie Liter- i
One Point of View a
ary Person.
(I'oiitributed. )
Not nil persons who claim to pos- i
sess a Greek letter badge, and boast !
of a college yell attachment, are lit
erary. It is not the one who reads the
greatest number of books, who is;
literary. One may read ten thou
sand books and lack every clement
that gives quality to a literary mind,
while another may read barely a
hundred books and be, in truth, a
literary person.
The reader of the ten thousand
books may, erhaps, only he in
) quest of entertainment to be gotten
j out of a recital of events, either his
i torical, scientific or romantic, simply
because fie or she cannot get the ex
perience out of life. The only appre
ciation he may havein the tale of
! adventure is that of the plot, mid
! the same appreciation would exist in
the actual experience or observation
of the ad venture.
i The pleasure he gets from tlu sci
I entific discussions in Foe's Tales, or
'.Sherlock Holmes, he would get in
I seeing the actual enactment, of the
j events as they transpire. The un
I deriving sentiment he fails to grasp.
He passes from acquaintance to
friendship, from friendship to love,
from love to hope, then he is dashed
down to despair, then to remorse,
and finally to triumph.
But it is only the happenings of
each that he realizes. He cannot
translate or interpret the feelimrs; he
cannot feel the p ings or the joys;
he merely knows and, in review, tells
his friends, "the hero came and saw
and conquered," and with him the
tale is ended. You could strip the
story of its soul and leave the skele
ton, and his delight in it. is all the
more increased.
This is not a literary appreciation,
but the possession of it, is but 'a
literary pianola using punctured tis
sue for his copy. He turns his crank,
shuts his book, ami the characteris
tics of u masterpiece become mere
bits of paper and plot, when the
copy is played out.
There are people who can tell in a
moment who wrote this and who
wrote that book, and their knowl
edge of authorship, especially of
modern authorship, appears mar
vellous. This is all very well to
know, it is true, and it is part of a
literary training, but such a person
is not necessarily a literary person.
He might read Swift's writings for
years and never unravel the allu
sions to events and famous persons;
might never dream, unless he saw it
in the foot-notes, that Swift was
making fun of religious form or po
litical strife. He might read novels
such as "The Honorable Peter Ster
ling," and others, and never realize
their application to every-day life,
and that they were but crusades, in
literary form, against the evils of
great cities and corporate greed.
"This heroine was such a darling,"
"that hero was so iandsome and
taking," and "didn't they have a
hard time in their courtship? and
u t"1.'" in "V , ,
iiiwgieab mum hi me wriwr, look
ing mco tne uepins oi numan uie
with its ills and joys, and seeking to
cut a path for his readers to follow
in a triumph over abuses, scarcely
! saw the tender damsel as she was
strained to the strong heart of the
hero.
He was only trying to make it pal
atable, in order that one might
more readily grasp his meaning, and
3et some are so blind.
Then, too, a person who limits
himself to novels cannot call himself
a literary person. Scientific works,
such as Darwin's; historical works,
such as Gibbon's; McCaulay'e, Pres
cott's and others, one should seek to
know and appreciate.
We should read thoso books that
make us stronger and braver for
efrJ-u
culture
every-day living stories of heroism,
and accomplishment, drink
ing deep or the wells that build man
hood, womanhood, character.
"Lives of great men nil remind tin.
We can make our lives Bublim.''
The greatest work of literature is
the Rible. Here we have not only
perfect English, but thoughts of the
greatest men who have ever lived;
poetry and prose, such as the
Psalms, Job, the writings of St.
Paul and the wonderful sayings of
Jesus Christ, and yet only the deep
thinkers cau truly enjoy. To the or
dinary mind it is a dry, dull book.
The real literary person, then, is
the one who reads appreciatively the
thoughts, experiences, lives, senti
ments aud dreams of his fellows,
both present and past, thus adding
to his own life experience and char
acter. Mrs. Sydney P. Cooper, of this city,
has been named by General Julian
S. Carr as sponsor for North Caroli
na at the reunion of Confederate
Yeteraus at Little Rock, Ark., this
month, and Miss Julia P. Cooper,
also of this city, has been chosen
maid-of-honor. Both are cultured
and charming young women, and
the honors that come to them are
most worthily bestowed. After the
reunion is over thev expect to go on
to Texas to visit Mr. Matt Cooper
and family. Mr. Cooper left Hen
derson a number of jeare ago, while
be was yet a young man, and went
West. Later he married Miss Mat
tie Roan, of Arkansas, and finally
settled in Texas. He has since accu
mulated a great deal of property
and is a leading citizen of his section.
He is the youngest brotberof Messrs.
D. Y. Cooper, James C. Cooper and
John D. Cooper, well known and
leading business men of this city.

CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT CO.
One of theTwo (ireat Electric Power
Companies in North Carolina What
Thiy Are To Do For the Develop
ment of the State.
An article in the Manufacturers
Record ."of recent date says that
North Carolina is leading all the
South in electrical development, and
that this section of the country will
most probably make more progress
in the next few years than New Eng
land has made in 25 years.
The finger of prophecy points
South today as it has never pointed
before. Fifty years ago it was "Go
West, young man," but today "Go
South" is the utterance of those
whose ears, close to the ground,
have caught the first vibrations of
that which is to be.
No part of the South is more prom
ising of great things than North
Carolina. With untold and unlimit
ed possibilities in its climate, soil
and w ater-power, it is today attract
ing the attention of the thinking
world as it looks Southward.
To develop North Carolina, to
open it up aud thereby draw it to
gether, and to draw from its mighty
falls the resident force to turn the
wheels, and to give light to the in
dustries that are, and to many more
that are to come, there are two great
companies at work today with men,
machinery, aud all the modern de
vices for dispatching the work and
bringing it to completion.
The Piedmont Northern Railway
Company, as the great electric rail
way headed by Mr. J. B. Duke will
finally be known, has an important
field in central North Carolina and
South Carolina planned by engi
neers foremost in their profession as
one of the most modern electric rail
ways ever bui't. It will, when com
pleted, be able to handle a passenger
business equal to and possibly greater
than competing linps, and freight
from o0 to 60 cars on a train. The
effict such an interurban railway
will have upon the State can scarce
ly be imagined.
The great electric company and
the great Carolina Power and Light
Company, whose fnld is eastern
North Carolina, and whose com
panion company, the North State
Hydro-Electric Company, obtained
its franchise in Henderson April 25th,
and bought the interests of the Hen
derson Lighting and Power Compa
ny Wednesday of last week, are con
fused in some minds.
From the Daily Bulletin of the
Manufacturers Record of April 13th
the following is quoted: "The Yad
kin River Power Company, Charles
E. Johnson, president, Raleigh, N.
C, has take.i over the Rockingham
Power Company and will complete
construction of water-power-electrical
plant, developing 40,000 horse
power for transmission of electricity.
The new company is capitalized at
4,000,000 and has arranged for
1 5,000,000 bond issue; surveys
uow being made for transmission
lines from Rockingham to Raleigh
Raleigh to Durham, Raleigh to Hen
derson, Goldsboro, Fayette ville and
other cities; it will erect a transfor
mer station at Raleigh."
The Yadkin River Power Company
is a subsidiary company of the Car
olina Power and Light Company
which is increasing its capital stock
from $3,250,000 to $7,500,000.
This company will draw its power
from Blewett FalU on the Yadkin.
$2,000,000, or about that, was ex
pended by the old company, the
Rockingham Power Company, and
taking up where it left off, all possi
ble effort is being put forth to bring
the plant to completion.
For several years the Carolina
Power and Light Company has re
ceived its water power from Buck
horn Falls on the ('ape Fear, 2G
miles south from Raleigh, the seat of
operation when the Blewett Line,
100 miles south from Raleigh, is con
structed. Work at both ends of the
line is underway, and it will connect
with that from Buckhorn Falls.
Raleigh, the transformer station,
will also be the distributing point,
and to this end a large commodious
building will be erected just out of
Raleigh.
A large area of the State will cov
ered with a net work of these lines,
reaching down into SouTTi Carolina
near enough for the future develop
ment of McColl and Dillon. And
wherever there is sufficient induce
ment this company will carry its
splendid power, over 50,000 horse
power in all, Blewett Falls furnish
ing 40,000, Buckhorn Falls 6,500
and the steam plant at Raleigh 6,
500. These two falls are the most
eartern in the State. Mr. Charles E.
Johnson is president of the company
and Mr. H. H. Carr, vice-president
and general manager.

Many a Henderson Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills in Henderson.
There is plenty of positive proof of this
in the testimony of citizens. Such evi
dence should convince the most skepti
cal doubter. Read tho following state
ment: Mrs. V. R. Ifortou. 404 Montgomery
street, Henderson, N. C, savs: "I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills just as
highly today aa I did in February, 1908.
For several months I suffered from a dull
pain in my back and loins and often I
was so lame and weak that it was diffi
cult for me to get around. I could not
rest well, and generally when I got up
in the morning, I felt worse than at any
other time. The kidney eecretions look
ed unnatural and caused me no end of
annoyance. When I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I got a box from the Ker
ner McNair Co s drug store and I bad
not used them long before I received
great relief. My back was strengthened
and the aches and pains were so greatly
relieved that I could rest much better at
night. Since that time I have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and
the results have always been of the
best.'!

What All Wall Street Cannot Bay.
(Wall Street Journal.)
When the school teachers of Chi
cago propose to collect a cent from
every child of school age, to raise
three thousand dollars.'as a prize for
a "national song," one wonders
what kind of education these children
are receiving in other respects. If
there is one thing which onr hothouse
civilization should have taught us
more clearly than another, it is the
things worth having are precisely
those which money cannot buy.
Could all the wealth of Wall Street
buy the Marseillaise? Could we pay
a Haydn to write a "Hymn to the
Emperor" like the Austrian national
anthem? Have we not been obliged
to steal tho music and even the
words of our national songs from
other people? And yet the school
teachers of Chicago have failed to
learn that all our wealth has not
been sufficient to buy the thing
which their children are taught .to
believe is within the reach of a few
pence.
When shall we get people to real
ize that some things are spontaneous
and cannot be bought with gold or
stimulated by legislation? Songs are
born in the heart, and not in the
breeches-pocket. People are good
for reasons beyond the reach of leg
islation; and neither the law-maker
nor the money-maker knows a charm
for ninety-five percent of the sorrows
they endure or of the happiness they
enjoy. The greatest works of all
time have been done for love and
not for money. Plenty of us spend
as much on a dinner for a few friends
as Milton received for "Paradise
Lost," and do not think we are very
extravagant, either.
All the millions of a Rockefeller
cannot make a university if the spirit
be not there. If the pretentious in
stitution at Chicago ever develops
into a seat of learning, it will not be
because of the Rockefeller millions
but in spite of them. It is a pity that
it is not in the business of training
the city's school teachers. Failing
such higher instruction perhaps the
spectacle of the inevitable result of
the song competition will teach the
children something which their pre
ceptors have not learnt.
Inhabitants of the Holy City Thor
oughly Aroused.
Inhabitants of the "Holy City"
have been aroused to a point of
rioting by the operations of a party
of English archaeologists, accused of
having excavated beneath the invio
lable mosque of Omar and removed
relics reputed to include the Ark of
the Covenant, the censor and other
sacred vessels which belonged to the
tribes of Israel.
Azmy Bey, the Turkish governor,
was mobbed on the streets for sup
posed complicity in the alleged pro
fanation, and hooted as "a pig."
The mosque has been closed and is
closely guarded, pending the arrival
from Constantinople of officials of
the government, who will make an
investigation.
The expedition worked for two
years on a large scale, beginning at
the village of Siloam, which lies at
the southeast end of Jerusalem on
the southern slope of Mount of Ol
ives, overlooking the valley of Ked
ron and the pool of Siloam. The ex
plorers are credited with having ex
cavated a passage from the pool of
Siloam toward the place where once
stood Solomon's temple, built in
1012 B. C, pillaged and restored
and llnallv destroyed by Titus A. D.
70;
Failing to reach the relics sought
in this manner, the explorers, accord
ing to the alleged confessions of the
guards of the mosque, bribed the
guards, entered the mosque and af
ter digging six nights spirited away
the treasures, "the whereabouts of
which," says an Arabic paper, "none
knew except God and these English."
Mystery surrounds the expedition,
whose operations have been of such
magnitude as to make it evident
that a large sura of money was in
vested. A letter received in London from
Jerusalem states that the Moslem
Sheik, the guardian of the mosque
oi uiuar, was given $o,uw CO per
mit the explorers of the Anglo-American
syndicate to excavate beneath
the sacred rock upon which the mos
que stands. The Turkish governor,
the writer says, received a far great
er sum. The Moslems were so in
censed that thev threatened to lynch
the Sheik.
The , excavators are supposed to
have obtained sacred relics hidden
by the Jews before Jerusalem was
sacked bv the Romans.

OUR TAX SYSTEM ALL WRONG.
By Our Pernicious System of Listing
Property for Taxation We Aro Tra In.
log Up a Nation of Liars and Tax
Dodgers.
(From an Exchange )
Had you ever stocned to think
that we as a nation are doing our
oest to teacn dishonesty and lying?
We force people to falsify their tax
able property list or realize that they
are the exceptional George Washing
ton, who cannot tell a lie, and for
the heroic deed must pay most of the
taxes.
i Oh yes, the honest, truthful man
gets it hard and the wonder is that
there are so many; for he plunks
down his hard earned cash to the
county treasurer for taxes, while he
kxjows full well that his neighbors all
about him, many times richer than
he, gut off with a mere bagatelle as
sessment. And his disgust can onlv
,bi imagined as he sits in church, and
tninks . of tne rich man in the pew
ahead, sneaking almost out of his
public duty towards paying for the
privilege of being governed and
schooled.
Let me repeat, as a nation we are
training ourselves to be dishonest
and untruthful, just because we have
such a disreputable way of taxing
ourselves. You who read this hon
est farmer that you are, a deacon in
the church, too, we hope, did you
ever shave your taxable worth a bit
when the assessor came around? Of
course you have, and every other
man has (blessed be the exception,)
because the law drives us to it. If
every man was absolutely honest
and truthful about his taxable prop
erty we wouldn't have to pay much
taxes. But when even a few in a
community will swear falsely about
their property, it makes it necessary
for the assessor to violate the law
and be blind, or the honest 'man
must suffer for his truthfulness.
It works this way: The person
who invests his money in bonds, say,
as in the case of an Ohio school
teacher who had saved $1,000. (How
could she do it!) She, on the advice
of the banker, put it into bonds, and
when she received the tax notice of
$57 she was astonished to find that
she was $7 worse off than if she
hadn't tried to make her money earn
something against the day of need.
That's what comes of being honest
and truthful regarding taxable
property.
Take the case of a man possessing
$1,000 in South Dakota and owing
$5,000. If he tells the truth he is hit
for the tax on $1,000 and does not
get an offset for the $5,000 he owes.
In Ohio, Iowa (Iowa just repealed
the law,) and Kentucky, a person is
watched by tax inquisitors, tax fer
rets, or tax agents, as they are vari
ously called, and if he does not
cough up his taxes, he may get held
up by one of the tax pirates. If a
tax ferret is honest yes, if! he may
do no greater harm than to make
some fellows pay what they other
wise would not, but suppose the fer
ret isn't honest, he could blackmail
individuals and business concerns to
a disgraceful degree, and the commu
nity be no better off either.
Just as a truthful statement to an
assessor may ruin a'business that is
going through a crisis on nerve, or
appearance, or past good repute, so
the tax ferret can also wreck bushj
ness institutions or private reputa
tions or ratings, purposely or not, it
does not matter.
We all know that the rich almost
wholly escape taxation and the poor
tret it in the neck good and plenty
for the simple reason that the poor
are nef shrewd enough to dodge
taxes, otherwise they would not be
poor. So it is the poor men and wo
men (and here we have taxation
without representation) and the
honest folks who keep the machinery
of government greased, and the
wealthy element lean back in their
cushions and ride free. On the other
hand a poor man hasn't a ghost of a
show before the law, which he pays
for, as against the rich man who
uses the law, but doesn't pay much
for its support.
. Ah, there s something radically
wrong in our metnods of taxation.
So long as we tax movable property,
call it personal property as against
land property, so long will we be de
bauching public conscience, and
training our children in lying and
dishonesty, There's a gleam of hope
shining way up in the northwest cor
ner of the States, and we will watch
with intense into rest the outcome of
the land tax system. It is coming
just as sure as death and taxes and
may it come on greased lightning if
it;will relieve us from the awful dis
grace now resting upon us for toler
ating such an unjust system of taxa
tion. Foley's Kidney Remedy Acted Quickly

The farmer's business often needs a little extra financial back
ing, if it is to grow and prosper. That is one reason why he
should have a strong and willing bank behind him.
It is an important function of this Bank to give temporary as
sistance to farmers who seek it of us, and who have demon
strated their ability to pay obligations when due.
The best way to establish a credit here is to carry an account
with us, and we cordiaUy invite not only the farmers, but
everyone who wants to gain ground financially, to do so.

Keep The House Warm
Wouldn't it be mighty foolish
to try and heat your house from
the outside? It would be a
shameful waste of coal. Yet
some folks try and heat their
houses with poor, quality coal.
Why not pay a fair price and
get coal that burns hotly and
economically? Our coal is clean
hot and even burning. .Deliver
ted at summer prices now.
