At the Nash County meeting of ' Co-Ops la Nashville last Saturday a . rtriew of the accomplishments in ! tha Cotton Aaaociation and a descrip tion of oar South wide goal was made by representative, O. H, Stanard, -Mr. O. K. Taylor, advisory commit teeman from W hi takers, denounced the past lax methods of the Co-operative Cotton Growers Association in dealing with contract breakers. It was explained that a rigid policy of contract enforcement, according to the -wishes of oar loyel members, would be carried out with tha proper help from ' tha loyal membership. This was strongly endorsed by . the membership attending tha meeting. . It was then decided : that Nash County would do her part in the "sign-up" and in the increase deliv ery accepting as her goal 85 per cent of all cotton grown In 1024. A mo tion made by N. B. Boddie and se conded by J. W. - Finch., that Nash County accept tha challenge of Edge combe Coanty in tha race for more contracts and for more cotton signed in (he next three months was carried. W. B.

In its laws and In its general purpose .provides for the interest of the pub- . lie. The contract provides for one public ' director, appointed by the Governor, who represents primarily the Interests of the general public. Our association provides for public confidence in that we function under the laws made for as by our State and Nation. Our accounts are audit ed by public accountants. Our pur pose,, minimising speculation and . waste and stabilizing cotton markets, is in the interest of the public as well . as that of the grower. , ; ... Because -of the above, because of the record we have already made and because of the fight now against our interests and against the interests of the general . " public, particularly against the-"cotton, growing states, we believe that public opinion should not only continue to be in our favor but should now come out stronger than ew in thlr thoughts, words and actions favorable to this great public enterprise. -We know that 'Vox Popull" will make or break anything, and for this reason we ap peal to the key men and to the key classes to help us inform and to edu cate the masses in favor of our as sociation. We want , our bankers, who hold the purse strings; our news papers, a most powerful molder of public opinion; and the many civic ' and other organizations, composed of individuals who meet our growers, to keep informed about the details of our organization. We know that they will see we have a good business concern and that they will assist us in showing the public that our way of marketing is good business. ; Were we in sontrol of enough cot ton it would be impossible for a "bear" raid, like the one now upon us, to be effective.

C. lumer, president of a New York manufacturing company established for thirty-eight years. . ; Explaining his unique idea of how a business should avoid labor troubl es, litigation and general buisiness trouble, Mr. Miller says; "The curse of this world is selfish ness. It is at the bottom of all in dustrial and social troubles. . If men can be brought to regard other men as brothers, if they can be induced to love their neighbors as themselves, if men would do unto others as they would be done by, there would be no trouble between Capital and Labor. Social strife and international con flicts, would cease. 'We, therefore, individually and as a corporation, ad vocate the Golden Rule with all , of our power as an aid to 'peace and 1 good will among men." , Expressing this doctrine in four simple rules for the conduct of his business, Mr. Miller says his manu- facturing, buying and selling is con ducted according to these maxims; First As to our employees: Rec- ognizing the divine principle that 'we are our brother's keeper,', we regard employees as brothers and sisters, children of a eommon Father, and take the same interest in them as we do in ourselves. . "Second People from whom we buy: It is our determination to do unto them as we would be done by; to attempt to put ourselves at all times in their places as far as pos sible; and to be as generous as we Consistently can. "Third People' to- whom wo sell: It is our desire to be just, fair and generous with customers and, so far as practicable,' to put ourselves : in their, places in every transaction, al ways studying their interests as we would our own.

Whatever it is that the Winconsin Senate is ap to -whichever way he jumps means mischief t othe Republicans in this year's elec tion. Of this, the leaders are con vinced. - - , i. La Follette has denounced Presi dent Coolidge as. too reactionary. He has refused to permit his own name o go ' on the regular Republican ticket in several state primaries as a Presidential candidate, and be has shown other tendencies toward what Republicans cull- i,f " third party menace." Yet,; the" leaders are eaU tag out of his hand., ; , V Not a. few years ago when Aid rich and Hqle ware running the sen ateRepublican Senators, whenever La Follette rose W speak, would get up and walk ou, leaving the Win consin statesman', addressing empty chairs. But they, don't do that now. They listen to him; they would like to pitch him ou(,'of a high window, but they listen just the same. And 'here is a sample of . the things La Follette burls at' his fellow Republi cans: ., , -.'-. I- . - "I say it with ahame and mortifi cation, that the publican party, of which I am a member, aa represented by those in contr of the party ma chinery, has play d as sorry part in this investigation! (Teapot Dome). as it did in the Bal! nger investigation. And I say to th( a leaders of the Republican paty fiat the policy they are now adopting will be as fatal to the Coolidge adn nistration, as their Bollinger policy t as to Taft" : . It Is hard to i nagine a partisan Republican extra ing comfort from that speech. - Bu notice : that' La Follette osed thv words, of which I am a member.' He is still in the le of. the leaders "Kick Os as much t don't leave us.n are frightened party.

' .; ? . ., .. . , : . : DemoeaU la Prime Ceaditlea. Comparison of the two major par ties at the start of the campaign are especially odious to the Republicans. They are split by allsorts of internal dissension. . Their "great minds" have failed at at time when failure was unthinkable. The leadership of "the only party fit to rule" appears to be standing dazed and inept in the presense of the grave problems de manding immediate treatment and solution, The Democrats, on the other hand, are in prime condition for the na-. tional ; campaign. The influential leades of the party throughout the country are beginning to feel that if the convention in June will select a man or the type, for instance, of Wra, G. McAdoo. as the Democratic rtandard-bearer a victory in Novem ber will be a matter of counting the votes.' Political observers in Wash- ngton now regard him as the leader in the race, with a larger potential strength in the convention than any of his revals. .The Senator's chances these observers ; claim, have been greatly benefited by his calni and dignified attitude in the campaign; there have been no personalities and no hysterics on his part, but a clear headed discussion of the half dozen leading issues that really enter into the contest between the two parties. Based upon the unusual proposi tion that if he "does nothing", be tween now and the meeting of liis party's convention a Cleveland presi dent Coolidge is almost certain to be the Republican, nominee. Senutor Hiram Johnson's candidacy appar ently is on a sidetrack, and is without ability, although it has up a full head of steam and is snorting and puffing, to gain an entn -.-e to the main line. Senutor Johnson, like Senator La Follette, is seve e and caustic in his references to 1 '. CoolidVe and his administration. : Cfr:,'Uee, .'iy la City.

I The steamship has replaced the sailboat. The typewriter has sent the scribe out on the warpath to hunt him a new job. - But the Pharisee we have with Us still. The ox and the wooden plow have given way to the tractor. The . covered . wagon v has been supplanted by the motor truck. The electric light has put the candle stick in the catalog of family heir looms. - Since the automobile honked its honk on the highway of progress the old ' top-buggy ' has rattled off down its last trail into the horizon of oblivion. ' If you wanted to see a stagecoach like your daddy rode in and like your daddy's daddy rode in, you would go to a museum, pay fifty cents and go in to see the show. But if you wonted to see a school just like your daddy went to and just like your daddy's daddy went to, you can find it within a fifteen minutes' ride. And if you could strip it of its halo of delusion, you could buy it for fifty cents and then get stuck. This relic is perpetuated by the Pharisee who says it is the best we can afford. But it is headed for the museum. " : Old Maids of Nashville Will Hold Convention.
