For fifteen years or more the Southern farmers have vainly strug gled to perfect an organization that would protect them against the wiles of Hie speculator. The old Southern cotton association, under the leadership of Harvey Jordon. se cured temporary relief from deflation in 1005; and the Ameri-au cotton association, undei the dauntless guidance of .1. S. Wannamaker, was Instrumental in securing good prices for cotton in in ill; but nothing of B permanent, constructive nature has beiM accomplished; and. in view Of the discouraging precedent, fail ure of the cotton association In its aims this year means, as Mr. W. S. Blakeney has so pithily stated, ' Koot hog or die." The tight is squarely up to the farmer. A holding movement and acreage reduction, augmented by warehouse facilities, is the only plan whereby farmers can control the sit uation, a'ld each of the three is es sential to tho success of the other. The holding movement is general, but to make It effective there must be an nrreagn reduction of thirty three and one-third per cent. Pledges to this elfert are be ng printed, and will soon be In the hands of tho township chairmen. Kvery fanner who wants to liberate the women and children from the slavery of the cotton fields, who wants to be the master of his own destiny, and who wants to secure for himself and hi3 family those things which make life worth living, and which are h'.s due. should sign the pledg", mid carry it out! J. E. Stack First To Introduce Rowden Cotton In This County Dean of Monroe Cotton Buyers Has Been in tho Market Forty Years -Was Born Before War II Blf Department Store. 1L BROS MONROE, N. C. II Bis Department Stores 0 In the forty year that he has jl.ougV. cotton, Mr. J. K. Sia-'k. dean of Monroe buyers, has probably writ ten clucks for over ten million dol lars. To the casual render, the?.'1 fig ures carry little .Muiii!ican.'e, but when we realize that this amount equals the valuation rf all of the property in I'nion county a f.'w year. ago. we get some idea of the enormity of the sum. Mr. Stack estimates that he has handled two hundred and fifty thousands bales of cotton In his time, Waxhaw people are to be congrat ulated on their new editor, Mr. Hal B. Adams, who has acquired control of the Enterprise. Mr. Adams Is a man of ability, and we expect the en tire state to hear from him in his Dew capacity. Dill, On I Johnson. Private Johnson was on lonely out post duty in the danger zone. To him came Lieutenant Jones, officer of the day. The general and special orders were duly recited. "Suppose now, Johnson, that a squad of Germans were to emerge suddenly from that clump of bushe and advance toward you. What would you do?"' "Well, sun. Ah wruld snap to 'ten ehnn and fo'm a line." "Form a line? One man form a line?" . "Yas, sun. A roc-line for ramn, uh."

Interested In the success of fanners with this vari ety In other states, he ordered a ship ment of seed from Rowden Brothers, rf Tixas, and had several Union county farmers to try It. It was grown successfully. It Is now the bei cotton sold on the Monroe mar ket, and it Is really responsible for the good reputation of local staple. Although sixty-eight years of age. Mr. Stack Is still an active buyer on the Monroe market. To all appear ances his health is. as good as it was ten years ago; and In business, he extends his operations every year ra ther than curtail his Interests. Mr. Stark was born In Lanes Cici-a township In 1852, came to Monroe a: the age of twenty, and worked in il., late Hugh M. Houston's inerratitiU establishment. At the age of thirty he became a commission merchant, ami for years was North and South Carolina distributor for a popular brand of flour. He bought cotton as a side line until he formed a part nership with the late J. M. Fairley. The firm of Faliley A Stack became :he leading factor in the Monroe mar ket until It was dissolved. Mr. Fair ley taking his sons In business with him, and Mr. Stark forming a part nership with Mr. W. J. Hudson. H bought several years with Mr. Hud son, then founded the Ann of J. K. Stack Company. Mr. Stack was one of the founders of the Hank of Union, and has been a director In this institution ever. since its establUh tnent. Mr. Stack would rather cotton would bring forty cents a pound than I twenty-five centa for which he has a good reason. There Is more profit !for the buyer when t rices are high. nnd he geta his share of the gineraj prosperity that high prices bring about. Then, like every roal South erner, he wants to see the South Korper. Reach Foot Balls Known to all players ns the best shaped and longest wearing balls made.
