THE WEEK (By DAN TOMPIUNp) The planters of the Georgia bright tobacco belt must, by now, see the great good that has b^ec acomplished by the tariff bill and the famous farm rcelief. Their tobacco is this year selling at 10c a pound, or 9e below the price of last year; while the consumption of ttgarettes in this country is daily increasing, due to effective advertising, and the women taking to the weed in droves, and while the price of the manufactured product, to the consumer has not been reduced. Bright tobacco prices i on the seven Carolina markets that ! opened Tuesday were an average of 1 lie per pound, or 25 percent below last year's prices. The drought has begun to assume proportions of a major disaster, and will be such throughout most sections of the United States, unless relief speedily comes in the form of soaking rains. We shall see just what there is to this plea to' curtail pro duction in order to make the farm ers healthy, wealthy, and wise.. If the farmers' way to fortune" is through producing less, the drought | should make his folfjune. The truth is that the means of making the farmer prosperous is for him to pro duco as (mueh and a* good produce as is possible, and then to find means of marketing the limits of his labors among millions of people in this and other countries, l^io are in actual j need of the things that the soil, of America yields. The drought will help nobody. It will make the con sumer pay more, and will leave tlfe farmers with nothing for his year's labor. So it would work, if produc tion should be wit short by artificial means. Dr. William Louis Poteat, Presi dent-Emeritus of Wake Forest Col lege, and one of the clearest thinker^ in the Southland, which means opej of the leveiest heads in all our coun try, speaking at Ridgecrest, charac-j terl/ed the new tariff aet as stupid and iniquitous. "When public offici-j als prostitute their official position to favor elass Hgainst the masses, as in the recent stupid and iniquitous tar iff bill?when our public sa.'ants combine to favor class aga?nst the rest of us- we have not a political, but a moral, a religious issue," said Dr. Poteat, in addressing the South ern Baptist Assembly. I have often wondered why the religionists, in their zeal to find a moral issue, have not long since seen the immorality of this sort of protective tariff, that oppresses the people, takes money out of the pockets of the masses, to swell the bank acounts of the favor-1 ed few, and takes bread from the J mouths, clothing from the backs, | and shoes from the feet of the poor children of this country, in order to make the rich richer.

MASS MEETING OF CATTLE MEN GALLED (By E. V. Vestal, County Agent) A serious situation for b?ef cattle growers hag arisen, due to the low pxiee of cattle, and, the-drought, that las destroyed the pastures aailll^ap ^ in the Valley of Virginia, and the agencies of the State are trying to work out plaans for the relief of the beef cattle men of the mountain counties of North Carolina. A meeting of cattle groweri and farmers of the*county has been call ed to be held at Cullowhee on August 16. As large an attendance laa possible is urged. The State Department of Agricul ture and the Extension D^paarta ment of the State are working to gether trying to work out the best market for the beef cattle in West ern North Carolina. Mr. Filler of the State Division of Markets has just returned from South-Western Vir ginia and reports that the cattlemen up there are selling what cattle they have on hand and thaf they will have no feed available this winteT, due to the drought. This means that these men who buy Jackson and Haywood cattle can not take them this fall and that we will have to look elsewhere for our market. Director Schaub at State College and Mr. Filler, State Livestock Mar keting Specialist, both think, that the Farmers of Eastern North Caro lina will feed out some cattle this fall as the dry weather has not af fected their corn and hay crop. In fact, that part of the state will have a 30 percent increase in their corn crop if nothing unusual happens. As a result of the above condition and plans, Mr. Filler and I are ask ing all' beef cattle men and all~ far mers who will have some cattle to sell to meet at Cullowhee School Building nest Saturday week, August 16, at 10 A. M. At this meeting the beef cattle marketing will be dis cussed and Mr. Filler wants to get some idea of the number of caffle Jackson county wiT have for sale at that time. If you have any good heifer* or steers to sell this fall, by all means be at the meeting and hear this proposition discussed. It will likely mean that the present out-look-price will be boosted quite a bit. As it behooves us all to get the most pos sible out of our cattle, be at this meeting because it is for the cattle man himself. The Livestock and Poultry Assoc iation meeting that vm to be held at Cullowhee the night of? Apgwt 12 will be held in connection with fhis meeting on the Mtt, as At school building will sot be availaWe the 12th. ? .. Miss Virginia and Miss Mvtha od Mn Titiitr ): lu
