If it wasn't for the Honor In 1862 an intimate friend of Mr. Lincoln's visited him in Washington, finding him rather depressed in spirits as the result of the reverses repeatedly suffered by the Federal troops. "This being President, isn't all it is supposed to be, is it Mr. Lincoln?" asked his visitor. "No," flashed Lincoln with twinkl ing eyes; "I feel like the Irishman, who after being ridden on a rail, said: "If it wasn't for the honor av th thing I'd rather walk." THE CIRCUS AT ROXBORO. Editor of the Daily News: I have just read an article in your paper that came out from Durham re garding monkeys in Roxboro. The statement is far from correct, but it is amusing, to say the least. Rox boro has streets and paved streets, at that, with asphalt. We don't havt roads any more, nor woods,' either. The thing happened in this way: Sanger's dog and pony shows hit town last Tuesday. The show con sisted of one monkey, four ponies, no dogs, one elephant, and a clown; the rest of the outfit was the manager and the band. They made no parade; they did have a trick mule. The price of admission was 50 cents, war tax 5 cents. After you were inside the big tent, which was hauled over on a Ford, you were required to pay an additional 50 cents for a seat or stand up for the performance. As to the show, any school kid could do anything they did, and the Roxboro band is far superior to theirs in music. The whole thing was a humbug and a skin game, and the tent was filled to overflowing. The night performance brought out the "boys." About four of them took possession of the show and asked for the owner. The manager told them he had left the city. Asking what they wanted with the owner, he was advised they wanted to lynch him. They requested the manager to take a back seat, while they run the show. This he did, and apoligized lor hav ing any connection with the show, which was very clever of him. The hoys handled the sledge hammers to pod advantage and drove them down m the ground as far as they could send, tore down the tents and loaded the wagons. They carried the ele phant for a nice long walk, and treated the monkey to a joy ride on a load of boxes and trunks. They also exercised the ponies, and the trick mule was ridden by a number of yung men. The chief of police, a regular fellow, said he scented trouble and went home and to bed at 10 o'clock ecause he knew something was going happen. And sure enough it did. r- Bradshen was accused of taking the monkey, for he (the monkey) was jund on the doctor's porch. All the oys were dressed as clowns and the snow they pulled was fr better than he one that drew the crowds. These People will hardly visit Roxboro again nd the people here are of one opinion hey never want them here again. Pa , SUBSCRIBER, 0xboro, Sept. 10, '20. Jntellect annuls fate.

C, Sept. 14th While many industrial interst were worrying over the labor situation, the farmers of North Carolina went ahead with the aid of their wives and children and worked from sun-up until dark. When the urban interests were strik ing and arguing over higher prices and shorter hours the crop producers were loyally making foods and feeds to save the day. The resulting har vests are good. The farmers have expected fair appreciation and com pensation. Now that they are offer ing those needed wares for sale they are met with offers that are from ten to fifty per cent less than they have cost to produce. At the same time the manufactured articles made from some of these same raw products are increasing in prices above their al ready high mark. Wonderful Corn Crop According to the Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, the condition of 97 per cent of a full crop is indica tive of about the best corn crop we have ever had. It is about 16 per cent better than the ten-year average. The indications are for 62,464,000 bushel crop, this being an increase of six per cent in the last month, and about 14 per cent more than produced last year. The average price reported is $2.19 compared with $1.97 a year ago. Good Wheat Yield The wheat crop is harvested and practically all threshed, giving an average 'yield of toward eleven bush els per acre, , which indicates a crop of something over eight million bushels. The tendency seems to have been to depre sa ithe-i prie locally naorethari was justified. The "prospects for fall plantings are for a less acreage than last year. Good Prospect for Sweet Potatoes The present sweet potato outlook is indicated by the 85 per cent of a full crop condition, which forecasts over ten million bushels, which is about two per cent more than last year, but the commercial interest is growing. Due to the continued wet soil conditions the keeping qualities of the potatoes may be inferior, although a dry fall will correct this tendency. Hays Good But Harvesting Hindered The state has increased its hay pro duction considerably during the last two or three years arl this year's average of 1.4 tons per acre with high quality is indicative of a good out turn, or about one million pounds forecasted production. Clover hay has yielded almost 1.5 tons or about 280, 000 tons production for the state, this being the same as last year. Fine Pastures Livestocks have done well this year, due to the good grass growing weather, which has saved the farmers much cost for feed. The present condition of 95 per cent tells the same story. Prospects Good for Field Peas and Soy Beans With an outlook of 85 per cent in condition for field peas the prospect is good for a crop, although produc tion is decreasing and being supplaiu.

Mr. Jones was aided in his work by an appropriation of $200 advanced by th.3 Warren county commissioners. -News and Observer. THERE IS NEED FOR PEACE TIME PATRIOTS It Is Harder To Be Peace Time Patriot, But Country Needs Them- Support Warren's Fair And Show this Spirit (Prize Contest Letter) The war taught us many valuable lessons. The patriotic men ' and women of Warren County learned to work together zealously for a com mon cause. They leaned the valuable lesson of co-operation and what it can do, and I dare say that there is no man or woman who performed even the smallest service who is not prouv of it. And if there is anyone who failed to express his or her love of, country in one way or another during those trying days, the position of that person certainly is not enviable. ; ; But somehow it is almost an un natual thing not to be a patriotic in war time. We are all patriots then, or profess to be. It seems to mt, however, that it takes a great deal more real courage and real backbone to be a peace time patriot one who goes abut his or her daily task, when there are no flags flying, no bands playing, nothing to stir the emotion with a determination to make his or her community and county one with a record for peace, progress and mor ality. The peace time patriot is one who longs to see fine churches, fine schools and fine roads, up-to-date farming and happy men and women. t In order to obtain these things for our communities and our county ft is necessary that our peace time pa triots also learn .to work together:! for the common weal. They can ill af ford like "hermit souls to live With drawn, in the peace of their self-content; not sit in the scorner's seat and hurl the cynic's ban " -p,f V Now one of the best ways .which Jt knbr- of? Jt6 express our 'peace time patriotism and our community spirit and community pride is by supporting such enterprizes as our County Fair. Remember that no enterprize of this kind can be a success without the spirit of co-operation. Whether War ren County shall have a fair worthy of comparison with the fairs of neighboring counties depends on you. I am informed that the Democratic candidate for Governor, Hon. Cam eron Morrison is to speak on the first day and that the citizens of Warren ton are to give a free barbecue din ner to out-in-the-country folks on the second day of the Fair. I feel that we have reason to be proud of the record which Hawtree Township made during the war, and I am sure that there is no section of the county where better crops art made, or where the women can make better bread or butter or preserves and so on. Let us see, then, that the industries of our citizens are favor ably represented at our County Fair. Let us be peace time patriots! CHARLOTTE STORY PERKINSOJtf.

The meeting call ed by the Wilson Chamber of Com merce was attended by representatives from 17 counties in Eastern North Carolina and the Piedmont section, composed of bankers, manufacturers business, of all trades, tobacco grow ers and warehousemen. The object of the organization was to devise ways and means for marketing this year's crop at prices which will be profitable to the farmer and regulate tha plant ing of the next crop whereby a great reduction can be attained in the acre age. The scope of the organization will extend to every county in North Caro lina, South Carolina and Virginia. F. M. Miller, Wilson Chamber of Com merce, offered the following: "We, the farmers, tobacconists, bankers, and manufacturers, offer the following resolution: "Be it resolved: "First: That instead of marketing fiiis crop of tobacco in . four months. we market it over a period of seven months. "Second: That the daily sales of each market shall be determined on the basis of the total sales of 'that market of last year's crop, extended over the period of seven months as ahove specified and that the North Carolina warehouse association be called upon to prepare and put in mo tion necessary machinery to accom plish that end.', V V. Judge Bragaw, of Beaufort county, offered the following: "Resolved: That an . association of tobacco growers be immediately, f orm- ed and organized, the name and plan arid" operation' of "whicif shall be desig nated and provided as follows: "First. Each county in Eastern and Piedmont North Carolina in which to- bfcco is grown shall select a repre serfativc for that county, said repre sentative to constitute a committee to ireet hereafter and at the . earliest date possible to formulate a complete plan of organization and operation, said committee of representatives be ing hereby authorized to designate the name of the association, to recommend by-laws and other regulations for sub mission to local or county units of the organization for ratification and adop tion. "Second. That this . committee of representatives shall be authorized : to designate the curtailment of acreage to be planted in tobacco for the year 1921 and suggest methods whereby such curtailment may be effectuated. "Third. That this committee of rep resentatives be authorized to select of ficers and committees of the organiza tion to the end that delay in putting into effect its plans may be avoidea and shall make provision for election of officers and committees by tne or ganization at large at some other date to be designated by the committee or representatives. "Resolved, further: That it is the sense of this meeting that every bank doing business with tobacco growers in N. Carolina be requested to enter into such legal agreements with this association as may tend to assure , a curtailment of acreage in tobacco for the year 1921 and to encourage and enable the planting of a larger acreage of food and feed crops and thus'tcraid in providing . against a repetition ol existing conditions: "Resolved, further, that this com mittee of representatives provided for and it is hereby directed, immediately upon and after its meeting and organ isation to invite and provide for co operation with the tobacco growers of South Carolina and Virginia and if deemed advisable, other States.

A movement was started in Hender son about two weeks ago which has spread like "wildfire" over Eastern North Carolina. - As a result of the action taken by the tobacco growers of eastern North Carolina" there has been a material improvement in the price of tobacco on their markets. There was a very enthusiastic meet ing of the Vance county tobacco far mers in Henderson Saturday that over crowded the Court- House, making it necessary to remove to the Court lawn in order to accommodate the' vast num. ber of farmers present. After amending the resolutions pre sented to them so that the "teeth" of these resolutions would be sharper,tho farmers voted unanimously to adopt a set of resolutions domanding a fair price for their tobacco. Similar res olutions will be presented the far mers and business men of Warren county for their consideration at a mass meeting to be held in the Court house at Warrenton Saturday morning September 18th at ten o'clock. The farmers, bankers, merchant and other business men over the South as a whole are even more interested in securing a fair price for cotton this year. I hope this county will be rep resented in large numbers at Raleigh Thursday, September 16th, at the mass meeting to be held there under the auspices of the State Cotton As sociation. All the cotton growing counties of the South are expected to hold meetings during -the month of September, for the purpose of organ izing County- Cotton . Associations ox for the purpose of strengthening those Associations which already exist. With the cotton growers of all the counties in all the states over the en tire South organized into one strong Southern Cotton Association and ai counties cooperating with the central organization to hold the price of cot ton up to a fair level, it is possible to accomplish the task. "United we stand; . divided we fall" is an old say ing that is just as true now as it w back in the time of the Revolutionary War. Farmers and business men must stand together now to hold up the prices of both cotton and tobacco. ;The mass meeting which is to be held in the Court house at - Warrenton Saturday morning will ; be held under the auspices of the Warren County Cotton Association. A. E. Paschall, president of the County Cotton Asso ciation, urges all persons interested in better prices for either cotton or to bacco to attend this meeting. There will be a delegation from Vance Coun ty to assist in., the organization of a Warren County Tobacco Association. Some one will be here also to tell us what to do to help the Southern Cot ton Association in its effort to hold the price of cotton up to forty cents. J. E. TREVATHAN, County Agent Warren.
