Politics tn Stanly.
Albemarle Press.
The quietest campaign in all the
history of both parties seems now to
be upon us, with only a little more
than three weeks ahead to finish up.
Whether both parties are on their
dignity or not and are exercising only
their best behavior, it is hard to say.
It is the still water that is deepest,
and fn the siTefiee of the present me
ment there may be a depth of effort
not Neen upon the surface.
The Republican ticket has some
good men upon it, some of them being
Regarded as not only popular, hut as
( men who would make good officers.,
Yet there arc some upon the ticket j
whose selection would be regarded by .
many as nothing short of a grave er
ror, regardless of political preference.
But in these instances, the voters
themselves will exercise their individ-'
ual preferences this year as never bc
fore.
Democrats have been assailed with
litigation, threats of renewed disturb
ances of various kinds, and there has
been but little from a general party
f source to inspire zeal on the part of
the several candidates. Ilowever, the
party has stood onslonghts with but
■ few. if ahy. sears. It i-ests in the
full confidence that the county has
been given the very best admiuistra
-1 tlon it has ever known, and there are
’ no records of which it is ashamed and
none, frii'm which it is running. Pos
itively uo charge which has disturbed
• the public mind recently has any bear
ing upon a single official now oir the
ticket either to succeed himself or in
the running for the first time.
' To this end. there is a feeling of
confidence on part of the restored to
power, and the voters of the county
will do nothing to disturb conditions
i known to be under successful opera
tion under a set of officials who are
honorable and efficient, and whose es
i tablished integrity gives the best guar
anty of continued good service. T
DR. KILGORE OTTERS ,
PLAN TO AID COTTON
He Suggests That Bsnktn afid Oth
ers Buy Up Three tir Four MDBoki
Bales.
Raleigh, Oct. 8. —The cotton sur
plus of two years i 9 costing the
southern cotton farmers three quar
ters of a billion dollars, declares Dr.
B. W. Kilgore, president of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-
Operative association, and chairman
of the board of trustees of the Amer
ican Cotton Growers’ Exchange.
‘There is but one cause of the ,
present difficulty, if not almost dis
astrous situation of the cotton farmer
and that Is over-production,” says .
I»r. Kilgore in a statement tonight
in which he suggests as a possible
remedy that a strong group of bank
ers, business men and time mer
chants with sufficient capital go on
the market and buy .3 or 4 million
bales, “Os as much as is necessary
to raise the price to a fair and
reasonable one.”
As another possible remedy for the
slump in cotton prices, Dr. Kilgore
suggests an agreement or arrange
ment by which those furnishing credit
for cotton production will hold one
fourth of the cotton grown, or which
comes into their hands.
Dr. Kilgore says the surplus from
last year's cotton crop and the pros
pective surplus for the present sea
son ”is making the price for the eu
tire crop.” If it ’had not been for the
two million surplus of last year and
a similar prospective surplus for this
season, Dr. Kilgore declares Ulut the
price would conservatively be 20
cents instead of 13 cents.
“No plan will have a full, immedi
ate or long time effect on prices that
does not include an adjustment of
acreage and production to consump
tion with resonahicness.” says Dr.
Kilgore, "and any plan for financing
mid helping the price now must car
ry with it a program for re-adjust
! ing the acreage and perhaps reducing
j last year's acreage by one-fourth or
'one-third.” •

as follows:
j "To me it’s a wonderful thing
