While the Farmers are Busy Raising Cotton, Mr. Cotton Moore is Just as Busy Trying to Raise the Price. Messrs. Editors: The two week3 past were spent in Cumberland, Robeson, Bladen and New Hanover Counties in the interest of warehouse holding companies. I found great interest in the movement and suc ceeded in organizing several com panies. In every section I find the people approve of the plan; they say it is the very thing to do. But, there is a difference in men; some men; wait for the other fellow to do; oth ers take a hold and do at once. I I found some of the do-right-now men at Fairmont. Before I left their pushing little town, they had $2,000 subscribed (next day swelled to $4, 000), and a committee were out looking for a lot on which to build the warehouse. That is business. Red Springs is a hustling placej too. In ona week after I met with that go-ahead bunch of up-to-now-men, they had raised the needed sub scription, had bought a lot and were looking for material for their building. Clarkton is little but loud. Take a look from the car window at the attractive new buildings and other evidences of business activity and you will not be surprised to learn that the warehouse committee here went right to work . and said they would be ready for business September 1st, Give me kalf a dozen live men at every cotton-buying place in North Carolina and you may rest assured our cotton crop will be sold to better advantage hereafter than has been the case. All we need is men who do things. Some towns will have to import such men before I can estab lish warehouse companies in them. Well, sir, here is a letter I did not intend to write. However, it tells that the writer is living an active life and driving away, trying to open the eyes of our people, and with a meas ure of success of which I am just the least bit proud. Read in another column my ap pointments for. the coming week. C.C.MOORE. Young Men and Ladles Wanted to Learn Telegraphy and R. R. Accounting.

Hold Your Tobacco and Beat the Trust. Messrs. Editors: While the tobac co growers have been talking of or ganizing the great tobacco magnates have been figuring on how to make their move. They have decided to open up on the first of August, our warehousemen say, at a very low price. Now, brother farmer, this is enough to appeal to all the grit and integrity that we have; to stand up for our rights and adopt Mr. Moye's plan, or some plan, by which we may beat the oppressors who want to take our raw product as they see fit. You surely don't call this selling at all, because you have never asked a price. They have already told us that it was going to start off low, and if we don't succeed in getting Mr. Moye's plan through, let's meet them on the floor and answer first with a limit ed amount of the weed. If prices are not then satisfactory, hold it back un til it brings a living price. We can do that. Let's don't be too hasty to sell. Something is going to develop The privilege is all Ours. A READER.
