The lark of rain In Marshville is beginning to have a serious aspect.

However, there is a saying The Lord will not help those who will not help themselves," so there is no use to complain of the dust as long is there is no effort made to pave the streets, or grumble at a low water mpply when such a condition in a Measure could be prevented.

And Planters Should Supxrt Warehouse. Raleigh. Oct. 0. "If the farmer keeps a stiff upper lip and holds his cotton, no one disputes that he can get a higher price than it is bringing iu the market today." says Major W. A. Graham, commissioner of agricul ture In an interview today on the "Cotton Association and the Ware nooses.'' In the statement the com missioner says: "This is an age of co-operation, the business that attempts to go it alone is at the mercy of divergent interests who combine. The farmer is almost alone in being to a large extent in an individual contest. The effort to ef fect the organization of cotton farm ers In the association and warehouse organization is an endeavor to get the farmers to co-operate especially in the sale of the crop. "In the earlier days of the Farm ers' alliance it was said that the farmer would never have any money until he raised something to sell. The farmer acknowledged the truth of assertion and largely increased his crops, in many instances doubling the number of bales. The cotton buy ers' reply was, "You have made too much,' and although the farmer has these large amounts of produce he could not use it as security to obtain money to settle his debts incurred in making the crop. The thinking farmer then con cluded that deliverance would only come when he made the surplus needed for operation himself and not endeavor to raise cotton to purchase them. The financial measures pro vided by Mr. McAdoo enable the farmer to use his "crop as security to obtain rash. Raising his own sup plies has enabled him to hold his cot ton for the past two years", and he can hold it. if desired, another year, as food crops for man and beast are be ing gathered for another year. He is more independent than he has been since the Confederate war. ' The amount of cotton in sight for supply of goods to the world is not adequate for the purpose. If the farmer will keep a stiff upper lip and hold his cotton, no one disputes that he can get a higher price than it is bringing iu tljr market nt this time The financial measures of Mr. McABon or anyone else can benefit no one who goes to market with the question. What will you give me for my rot ton?' and not with a bold face say ing. T will take 36 4 cents for my cotton, and then hold until he gets It. The fanners beat the Jute bag ging trust by not buying their goods; l hey lost money when they used cot ton bagging, but bore the loss like men until the sugar sacks became nvaiiible. It was really the sugar sink and not cotton haeginc that de feated the nefarious proposition of the jute baggers. I think the question of producing ttid selling cotton profitably will be strong and the victory is nigh. Pro- nee all you can of the provisions in ' iied tor your lamiiy mm nomr. Do not put all the suffering and self denial on your wile; supply her with conveniences and help her in her work.

Orphans at Strand theatre Tuesday t'OlNTY ITIH.IC M HiXtl,S TOOI'KX OYF.MKFK FIKST After That Date X Parents Fan Keep Their Children Home Fiimii School to I'ii k Cotton. The county board of education has decided that the public schools of the county shall open not later than No vember 3, and in those communities where crops will be gathered before that time it U recommended that schools begin one or two weeks ear lier than this date. - In connection with the opening of the schools. Prof. Ray Funderburk, county superintendent of public in struction, gave out the following statement: "You will remember that the school term this year is six months instead of four months as heretofore. In order that we may keep our schools open for six months and not interfere, with farm work in the Spring, it is necessary to open as soon as possible. Every school that has secured teachers should open by No vember 3rd. If possible let your school open on October 27th. By be ginning your school on that date you will be able ,jo close the term by April 15th. y "Cotton is earlier this year than usual. There is but liitle late cot ton. By taking advantage of the good weather for gathering a crop, there are but few farmers who will not be in a position to send all their children the first day of school. No child ot the compulsory attendance age will be needed at home. Furthermore, small children are not a great help iu sowing the wheat and oat crop. "The laws of North Carolina de mand that children between the ages of eight and fourteen shall be in school continuously for the entire school term. It is not the purpose ol he laV, W!rk .lhard',h'l ,l"T "' num. i lirr mail nu ..iiuin iw u,j in' honest thing by his children need have no fear of the operation of the compulsory attendance law. He already is meeting every requirement of the law. The man who wilfully robs his child of the opportunity lo secure a common school education. should know there is a law that will not permit him to steal from his child. And furthermore he should know there Is a State back of that law to see that lt is enforced. "Not more than ten per cent of the children ever attend a school other than the primary or elementary grades. No man should be allowed to rob his child of this meager oppor tunity, in order that he might have more land or money. A great many parents are not able to give their chil dren anything except an opportunllv to develop what God has given them. Give your child a chance and he will do the rest. "The school are for every child in the county, and If we are to make this county we must educate all tin children of the county. In order ' do this, all children must attend school as regularly as possible. "Let every person who has an: pride iu his county and state, air love for humanity rod hope for hi people consider himself a vital part of the public school sxsteni. and that this shall be the best year in the his tory of our schools. Lei every one consider himself an attendance of ficer. Let no child remain out i school." DEATH OF MRS. G. ('.

HEART TKil KI.K C.U F.I THE DEATH OF MIL C. I. MF.At HEM Popular ('it fern Passed Away Thls Morning Alter an Illness of Sev eral Weeks, Though Death V l'ueiectel. Mr. Cecil D. Meachem. one of the most popular citizens of Monroe, died suddenly this morning, following an illness of several weeks. Heart trou ble was the cause of his death, though no one suspected that his condition was critical. Last nigtt he talked with several friends, and his family had hoped he would soon be able to get up. but at three o'clock this morning he fainted, and expired a few hours later. His death was a severe shock to his hundreds of friends. As a man he was universally liked and admired, and it was hard for them to compre hend the fact that he had passed away. Such expressions of regret have seldot.i been heard in Monroe. Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but it is thought it will be held sometime to-morrow. Mr. Meachem was a native of Kins- ton, and lived there until about eleven years ago. when he moved to Mon roe. He would have been thirty-nine years old on October 25th had he lived. His father died when he was a mere child, but his mother, who now lives i Dulnth, Minn., survives him. She i.- in falling health, how ever, nnd will be unable to attend the funeral of- her son. Resides hU mother and wife, he is survived by tan oung sons, Cecil and Frank Meathei.i. who n-'e boih fine boys, and who loved their father like few sons can.

Evere'ie, Mr. Meachem has been cashier at the Sea board freight station. At times he was also interested in several local ventures. Mr. Meachem was a member of the Methodist church, and an hones'. Christian gentleman. Few men have lived cleaner lives ihan Mr. Meachem. He was open In all his affairs, polish ed in his manners, and a born mixer among men. His death is doubly Iraglc owing to the fact that neither bis friends or family thought t... l.is illness would prove fatal. A number of his dose friends hav !e " i t se mm from time to tin", but he always seemed so cheerful 'ti' 'hey did not dream for a minute that he would fail to recover.
