They say there is more' distressed
cotton this fall than usual. This is
incorrect and is bound to be untrue
because the South, by reason of high
prices for the past few 'years and
the rasing -of jts food products is in
a better position than ever before to
hold cotton. ; -'. : ;
,:ine reason, why there is an ap
pearance of "moredistressed cotton1
is because or the habit that is grow
ing to sell futures against the cotton
before it is made. ' v ,
This cotton of course is for a pur
pose deliverable in October in order
to break the market. If the' entire'
crop cpuld be sold for future deliv
ery when the price is high it would
be a different matter, but selling suf
ficient for delivery in one month to
ruin the price of all the balance is ex
ceedingly injurious to the South
If the South would short sell ; a
million bales of futures far each
month in the year and could find pur
chasers to take these contracts, . the
delivery of the cotton evenly over
year might hold the price up. But
just as soon as the mill man and spe
culator found that these tactics were
being followed by the farmer they
would also turn bears and flood the
market with selling orders which
would also accelerate the downward
motion. ..;-...
' The. only scheme worth while is to
control the acreage - and deliver a
million bales a month to the trade
ai a fixed price. The spinDer would
welcome this plan because every one
of them would understand that they
must fix the price of the manufac
tured product upon the basis of the
raw cotton. The merchant would
not be holding off for lower prices
became he would understand that
he must pay for his purchases upon
a fifteen cent basis and this 1 Would
bring stability all along the line and
prosperity to the South. ' -Storage
warehouses with purchas
ing committee to take cotton offer
ed under the price fixed should . re
gulate the matter, after the South
has learned to live at home and
bulk of its planters are from ability
and patriotism enabled to carry the
bulk of the crop, on the farms.until
the price agreed upon is secured.

1 SIMMONS IN THE StNATL'
A Rscerl of Accompllihmaat ef Which
The Stat ShoM U "road.
The next legislature will have .th
election of a successor to Senator
Simmons.- Already three of the
State's ablest Democrats have an
nounced themselvescandidatesin op
position to him ' Without saying one
word in disparagement of either of
these gentlemen in the' opinion of
the writer, F. M. Simmons should be
his own successor. j '
For almost two terms Senator Sim
mons has served the people of the
State ably, honestly and efficiently,
His course has not at all times met
with the approval of all of his con
stltuenUnot even of all those of bis
own party, but when has the course
of any brave, progressive construc
tive man met with unamimous ap
proval? His course has at all times
conformed ip his convictions of his
duty to his state, her people, and the
country,and has been taken after
much thought and painstaking inves
tigation. . He has been a represents
tive of the North Carolina of today,
with her vast resources of soil, mine,
forest and water and her fast expan
ding agriculture, mining, manufac
turers and commerce; and not of the
traditions of her past He has been
practical. He has not been a doc
trinaire. ' He is probably our boldest
public men, and has accomplished
more, in my opinion, for the better
ment of his State and 1 her " people
than any of his contemporaries, 1,
Simmons has achieved success in
the Senate and has won a high place
among his' party associates there.
He is second only to Senator Culber
son on Democratic steering commit
tee of the Senate, and In giving di
rection to the work of that commit
tee is second to nonet He Is a mem
ber of the finance' committee, the
Senate's most powerful committee,
and also of the committee on . com
merce, the one next most sought af
ter in the entire organization of the
Senate. He is also a member of the
national waterways commission' a
commission created by Congress to
examine into the general subject of
water transportation in this and for
eign lands and to report to Congress
a general scheme for the construc
tion and improvement of a - compre
hensive system of waterways, natur
al and artificial, for the entire coun
try. . - ' 'r . 7
He has participated in the debates
on all the great questions which have
been discussed in the Senate since
he became a member.' His speeches
have not been compilations but have
been thoroughly prepared and have
,p n "n.
THERE'S A REASON!
m thn paper. , ,J
exhaustively discussei the merits of
the question under" consideration.
They have received much attention
in the Senate, In the - country, and
from the press, some of them being
circulated as companion documents
by the natjpjial committee of his
party, and others have admittedly
influenced legislation. , " . " .
; During the ten years of his . ser-vice-his
State has received more
money from the Federal treasury
for her rivers and harbors and for
puouc DDUdings than in all the pre
vious one hundred and twenty-five
years of its history.4 Much over
half of the more than four, millions
of dollars which have; been' appro
priated to our rivers" and harbors
during these ten years has been add
ed to the House tills by Senate
amendments offered and secured by
Senator Simmons, who is a member
of the Senate committee having
these bills in charge. Among these
amendments have been the appro
priations oi saou.uw lor tne con-
stuction of a canal to connect the
waters of Pamlico sound with: the
ocean at Beaufort, which has been
completed, and is now open to com
merce; the appropriation of $605,-
000 for the canalization of the Cape
Fear river' from Wilmington to
Fayetteviller work upon which is In
progress; the authorization for, a
survey of theinland waterway; the
authorization for the' purchase .of
one of the two canals the Dismal
swamp and, the Albtsrmarle and
Chesapeake connecting Albermarle
sound with Norfolk harbor and for
its widening and deepening; and
many others. " " j '
Ever since Simmons' entered the
Senate he has been an earnest advo
cate of the establishment of the Ap
palachian forest reserve. He has
spoken several times to its favor and
his speeches have beenf widely cir
culated by the - associations v and
others who have been actively shap
ing public sentiment in its favor.
During the last session of Congress
Senator Simmons' long fight for the
establishment of this reserve, which
will do so much for our western peo
ple, was crowned with success when
the bill became a ' law. He made
the closing argument upon the bill
and his speech was exhaustive in its
treatment of the subject, . .,
It has been largely through Sen
ator Simmons' effort that - the na
tional Department of Agriculture
has been so liberal with experiment
work in the State. In fact, it has
done more of this kind of work in
North Carolina than any other State.
This Work has consisted in farm de
monstration, expert supervision of
road buildings, and 'preliminary

I wish to make an earnest plea to
your readers who are patrons of the
publie schools for the active coop
eration of the home with the school,
of the parent with the teacher, in
securing increased and regular at
tendance noon the public schools
and in enforcing discipline and faith'
ful and conscientious performance
by the children of assigning school
duties. ' v - ; .'
Statistics show that only 49 per
cent of the total school population
between the ages of six and twenty-
one, Is in daily attendance upon the
public schools, and only 64.7 per
cent of the total number of children
enrolled in the public schools attend
daily during the session of schools.
It is . impossible for any teacher,
however interesting he may make
the work of the school, and however
faithful he may be in the perform
ance of his duties, to secure regu
larity and punctuality of attendance
or the laitniui performance ; oi
school duties, especially of work as
signed to be done out of school
hours, without the hearty co-opera
tion of parents at home.
Many parents do not realize that
after a child begins to attend school
going to school should be and is his
main business in life. As childhood
is the habit-forming and character-
building period of life, the manner
in which he does his school work,
-and the business habits that he ac
quires in the performance of this
main business of the formative pe
riod of his life, will determine the
manner in which he will be from
the main work - of . his life in - the
-world as a man,' will fix the business
ihabits of his life and be most potent
in the shaping of his character. '
If he is allowed to be irregular in
This attendance upon school, careless,
slovenly and unsystematic in the
performance of his other school
duties, he will not only be unsuccess
ful in his school business, but he will
almost certainly form and fix busi
ness habits that will doom him to
failure in manhood in an exacting
business world, where competition
is growing sharper every day. The
child that is allowed to stay away
from school upon the slightest pre
text or bad feeling, bad weather, or
the placing of a day's pleasure be
fore a day's doty at school, will al
most inevitably grow into a man or
a woman that will put pleasure be
fore duty, that will be frequently
found absent from his business and
hia post of duty upon the slightest
pretext that .will lack that grit and

0arTagrat Law.
When citizens of this community
reads of the number of assaults over
the country and the numerous acts
of violence he should certainly give
thanks that he dwells in a commu
nity so law-abiding and free from
outrageous acts of lawlessness.
There are a number of reasons for
the marked desire on the part of
both white and colored to obey the
law and sustain it that all may live
in peace and quietude and enjoy the
p'easures and the protection that
good government brings.
A second fact that impresses us al
so as largely responsible is the rigid
enforcement of the vagrant act that
requires every man and woman with
out visible means of support to find
quickly some employment that they
may earn their living and keep out
of mischief. r, .
The greatest blessing to mankind
is the ability to labor. In the sweat

Adam and Eve in the garden when
they found time hanging so heavily
upon their hands that their curiosity
got the better of their judgment and
they discovered that . learning
brought . responsibilities and they
went forth to subdue the world with
plow and hoe that it might yield its
increase for the eugport of Adam
and his children, and we do not read
that Adam was hurt by earning his
bread. There could be no develop
