I' VOLUME XXXIV TIJK FARMER AND THE ;;- " PRODUCE HE SELLS If He Teddies It From House to House He . Should Charge More Than If He Sold Direct to the Merchant. . A large number of people accuse J farmer of holding up prices of ihe far farm stuff because when he comes to town to sell something he asks the mine price that the corner grocer osUs and because he does that the! complaint says the farmer becomes a middleman, instead of that salva tion which he is expected, to be. 1 There is a right pertinent question and probably it will be decided in the farmer's favor, says the Raleigh Kews and Observer, because ne is the man who makes the decision. When he produces his stuff he is a producer, but when he brings it, to town and distributes ittb the ulti mate buyer he is exactly what he is accused of being the .middleman. Now, it cannot be a question as to whether the farmer is. right in being a middleman, and asking the middle man's profit, for the farmer,' if he sells the stuff at retail, seems deter mined to get the retail price and the only way to keep him from getting it is to refuse to pay what he. asks. But the householder seems to be as willing to pay the farmer who comes to the door with his goods as to pay the grocer at the grocery. J It is not material who is the mid; dleman. We seem to want the far-J mer to retail to the houses at, the price he would wholesale at the gro cery and the farmer is not disposed to give his time that way.Hewants the middleman's pay if he does the middleman's work, and evidently he gets it. He gets it because we all appear to prefer to have him act as the retailer and come to the house rather than to go to the grocery to get what we want and pay the retail er there for serving. " We can't get along without the middleman. The farmer makes the stuff. He may retail some of it, but he prefers to turn.it over 'in bulk to the retailer and get back home, leav ing the retailer to distribute to the buyer. The retailerxwill not do this without he is paid, and-novwayihas yet been suggested to dispose of him. He is an essential factor in our j organized industry. The only real question about him is "whether he is paid too much. He does not' think so. When the farmer acts 'as .middle man he does not -thinx ne is paid too much. All the years of human exis tence have not been enoughs yet to settle this thing, and that leads to the conclusion that a few years more will come before it is passed over. So we may as well pay the farmer and let him' go his way happy, for that is what we will have to do in any event.

UndoubtetilyOlr. Phillips is one of the finest sunerthl tendents in the State arid any school system is fortunate to have him at its head. He .has shown marked a bility in his chosen profession and is steadily-forging to the front as one me estate's ; foremost educators, r ms success in the Oxford schools has been very pronounced and he is lov ed by every pupil. He ; announces that the Oxford public schools will begin work on Monday, the 8 th day of September, at nine, o'clock. At this time he expects there will pos sibly be the largest opening-in. years: The buildings of the Oxford schools are now open in preparation for the pupils who will enter them in a few weeks. A thorough cleaning will be given each room before the opening and plans will be worked out to keep them well suited forothe home of the boys and girls ; during the iiine months of school. Proper ventila tion and disinfecting will be provid ed and every precaution taken to preserve the heaith Qf the pupils, v The teaching force for the coming year" is the strongest that Oxford has ever. had. Each teacher has been selected because of his or her special fitness for the work to be done. In this day of spe cialization ttie teacher must do the work for which she is. best suited. Increases in salary ranging from twenty to forty per cent have been "given. A salary schedule has been adopted that will recognize merit and length of service in the system. While the salary is not for twelve months this! year, the plan will very likely be adopted for the next year. The ground has already been brok- iv f Continued On Page "-Eight) "v" ' CAPT.- B. S.

S Bradsher. -; - r AXfThp f - A LETTER OF EXPLANATION FROM THE MAYOR lJear Sirr-In the last issue of your, paper under paper , under, the headings "Caught in -the Act of Gambling" there appeared an article to the ef fect that 'two prominent business men of Oxford and hghly esteemed in the" community were 7 actually caught in the act of shooting crap.'? In: my opinion an injustice- was done these men, although I do not think it was intentional on your part. At the time you wrote your article these men had not been before the Mayor, but since that time the matter has been heard and the cases against these men were dismissed. It ap peared from the statements of the two men . involved and from ' the statement, of a disinterested witness that these men were not gambling and that not cent of money passed from one . to the other. They were not engaged in the game commonly known as shooting crap, butt the evf dence was that, purely forothe pur pose of amusement, they were throw ing a quarter to see rho coulcLconie closest to " a crack in the ' floor, one of the men standing on the sidewalk tossing the coin through the window. This would certainly indicate that there-was no effort to conceal the matter. It is a fact that at the time you wrote your article these men had paid a fine of $5.00 each.vahd the costs, :; which was paid to ? the : police officer ; on my authority after I told him this would be the amount if the matter should be settled out of court. . . " . " . ' The police officer inadvertantly stated to you that the game in which these - men were engaged was that of shooting crap. This was an unintentional error. ' Upon, hearing the matter, j iQCludUig the statement of a. disinterested .witness, who was present : ana looking on, , i was con vinced?that these, v'men were not gambling, and ;v therefore - dismissed the case's against them. - " In -utieetati:iiiiartie8 concerned I .desired vitorinakelthis brief -state-ment'Offtbe facts-in'the pasev . .
