In the fifth inning the Oaks annexed five more runs and in the eighth took on a couple more. J' ' Lefty Strickland pitched one of the best gsmes yet to his credit and throughout the contest there was no let-up in the effectiveness of his rifle like shots, while the entire team gave him excellent support.

Wilmington, Aug. 21. With over 80 delegates in attendance, represen tatives of 39 counties, 13 not rep resented last year, today's session of North Carolina Association of Coun iy commissioners convention, was featured by the annual address of President Frank P. Spruill, Nash county, reading of a paper, and ex- temparaneous discussion by State Auditor Baxter Durham, and a paper prepared by John A. OrrelL New Hanover county auditor, . read by County , Attorney .Msrsden Bellamy, because of Mr. Orrell's absence from the city. -- . ; President Spruill said the office of county commissioner is one of the most responsible in the state, and he narrated the tax powers and pow ers of legislation and regulation lodged in a county board. He dis cussed the school question showing that in 1900 the state spent less than a million dollars and last year spent $23,000,000 on schools; $40,000 for school buildings in 1900 and over $6,000,000 last year. The percent age on illiteracy has been cut from 39.4 in 1900 to 13.1 in 1920, the white percentage being only 7.1, and he gave all the honor and praise to the counties and not to the state, for, he said, 75 counties making a report showed that they incurred a debt of $2,568,119,49 to operate the six months' school term, a deficit, he said the state should pay and not the coun ties. .. He rapped 'pauper" counties that won't' levy sufficient school tax and draw down unmerited sums from the state, and, in conclusion, said, "I re peat the office of county commission er Is one of the most important in the state and the people of your coun ty should not place you in this pow erful place, just because you are a good fellow, one of the boys and popular with a certain set."'.. Maj. Baxter Durham discussing county auditing said that an jdea was abroad In. regard to county govern- nteni i-thsvHtoethiar aotSM-Stfong.

It has to date cost $95,000 but the audits have uncovered half a million dollars due various counties, showed who owned it and advised how to get it. - President Spruill recommended that the county auditor keep a com plete recor dof all outstanding bonds, notes or indebtedness of any kind. so any obligation of the county may be met promptly. . This afternoon the delegates en joyed themselves surf bathing, boat ing and fishing, and tonight a dance will be given at Lumina in their honor. , . . . .

E. C. Few, Pastor. Judge Barnhill has been on the bench only five weeks, but if - one were to watch his manner of handl ing the routine of the work that comes under his supervision, and hear his summing up of a case te the jury. they would imagine that he had had years of experience. : Ju 'je tarr.!.::i has already prov en popular wl;h t'.,e bar and with the peoT-'e cf Wejne, and his visits here will always be looked . forward te with pleasant antic:pation. - County Development ; The county system is a wholesome and wise provision made possible by our forefathers, the advantages of which have not been given , fullest mention. The development of our political subdivisions known as coun ties has gone forward at a rapid pace during the last few years. - County fairs, county farmers' and other or ganisations, county Sunday school as sociations, in addition to county gov-' ernment, have all - contributed to these ends, v-' v'-'v:13;';i ' 'r:'::'':-. The idea " of count cooperation gives all of us a broader view and tends to knit together our multitude of necessary relationships. The var ious communities of the county are given opportunity to put their forces for good into the common pot thus buildings up the outlying districts in a broad spirit of unity. The Graphic stands foresquare for any and all movements for the advancement of Nash county as a whole. In doing this we help ourselves materially be-, cause we get the advantage of the other developing factors and forces of the entire county. This is t! e spirit f big business; and ir..,.,h coun ty is a l;g business a t's buds.- t institution .for proaioti, 0 , t. ,. and hsfFines- E. J. Eodman, writing 'in Com merce and Finance, predicts that "the days of low-priced cotton in. America are gone.! Mr. Bodmasi is vice president of the Union Trust Com pany of Little Rock, Arkansas, and chairman of the Agricultural Com mittee, Arkansas Bankers' Associa tion.' The Union Trust Company operates at trustee under will several large plantations ' growing cotton. Therefore, it la to be supposed that Mr. Bod man speaks with knowledge on cotton conditions, and the follow ing from his article is of interest be cause it should carry weight: '-' -. "Cotton farming in the South is changing. The lame-mule " ' negro . cotton farming methods will have to give way to an entirely different system. The big , plantation is doomed. - Its days are numbered. Cotton has been raised on it up to' today practically under slavery con- ' ditions. - Conditions - of - - slavery, either real or economic, can no long er be maintained. " , j- .. "Two factors are contributing te the change". First, ' the increasing ' ravages of the boll weevil now make it impossible to raisel cotton by shift less easygoing methods. .The typical ' plantation manager or 'riding boss, -tnd the,. typical, ignorant, careless aagre-tenant are a -combination het" make soft picking for the boll weevil. Second, industrial activities and high wages in the North have drawn and are drawing the pick of the negro cotton labro to Northern cities. They will never return.' Their insight in- to better living conditions and high ' wages will make them permanently -unfit to be tenant cotton farmers. "Equally the day of the 'one-gal- lus hill-billy cotton farmer is about gone. , The only cotton farmer who is going to win the fight against the boll weevil is the intelligent,' trained farmer, who applies brains and scien- -tine methods to the cultivation of ' cotton on a farm of reasonable size. Needless to say, this kind of farmer will never endure slavery conditions, for himself and his family. "What does all this mean? That the days i of low-priced , cotton in America are gone. 1 If we ever get back to crops of old-time size, the type of farmer who gets us back will -do so only because be makes a fair profit on his year's work." ; -i i Farming, including cotton raising, of course is more 'profitable if con ducted on business principles. And the positive statement made by Mr. Eodman, whose banking company al so is engaged .- in cotton - growing, points to the fact that business men, will in the future actively control the cotton plantations; and as business men sensibly do ""nothing . without . there is profit in it, it is safe to as sume that the days of low-priced cot ton are passed. , - 0 With business methods on the farm and business methods, in the way of cooperation on the market, a condition of steady,, unchanging pros- - perity in the land of cotton may be t looked for. , Cotton is called"King" because it controls the markets of the -world; but the signs of the times are that the cotton growers, the men be hind 'the plows, are going to control King Cotton" and the price through wise system of Cooperative farm marketing and a thoroughly business like system of diversified farming. The swevel-chair farmers have been writing high-sounding articles about the. slavery of . the Southern farmers to "King Cotton," calling on the slaves to assert their manhood by throwing off the chains abandon ing cottori. But cotton is the world's greatest product - It is the heritage of the Southern farmers, left to Cera by Nature, and it is cheering to know that in the future its cuit'-re t- 1 marketing are to be done ca f !
