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.

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.
