"With my resignation, I tender to you and through you to the asso ciation, my services Without com ' pensation for all the time that I can possibly spare from the super vision of my farming interests. Command me in the future as free ly as heretofore, for any service that I can render anywhere." de clared Dr. Jloyner in resigning hisj pott as an official of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, i which he was lqrpely instrumental in founding. ? V" Explain ing his reasons for wishing to serve the association without pay, Dr. Joyner stated in hi* letter of resignation: "I believe that I can render more effective service by re signing, and thereby freeing my- i self of the accusation or suspicion of any other motive in advocating cooperative marketing but' an honest desire to promote a cause which I sincerely believe to be the only hope for the prosperity and economic emancipation of our farmers through organisation for the protection of ? the prices of their -product! by or derly and intelligent marketing. | Meeting the carping attacks of opponents of cooperative marketing who have sought to aacrlbe his re- ? cent efforts for cooperative marke- ' ting to mercenary motives, the vet eran leader of the tobacco associa- 1 . tion in North Carolina has .the fol- j lowing to say: '"Opponents of cooperative mar- j beting whose low ideals and selfish- 1 nesa prevent them from apprecia- ' ? <tiijg or from ascribing to others any higher ideals or motives than their ? own mercenary ones, have carried on ( a ceaseless campnign to discredit me and other paid employees of the as- 1 .-ociation and to destroy our in- 1 fluence by impugning our motives ' and alleging that we were mere hire lings, paid exorbitant salaries to talk and work for the association. As president of the N.C. Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association and later as chairman of the organization committee, it mas my pleasure and privilege to give without reward or the hope of reward the largest part of my time and service for two years or more to the work of organising the Tobacco Growers - * Cooperative Association, refusing to accept there for an offered salry. When asked, after the completion the organ isation, to accept employment in the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso ciation for my entire time at a sal ary, it was as you and others with whom I talked know, a source of deep regret to me that, on account of the' very conditions that I, as a farmer, waa endeavoring to aid my fellow-farmers to remedy through cooperative marketing, I was not financially able to continue to give my entire time and service without compensation to the work."

No longer is it "the sleepy South," but an alert and progressive South. The state's great industrial awakening has : opened other eyes _ to the new op-, portunities in agriculture, commerce! und industry which North Carolina, frerents to the w<jrld. That distinguished Hnglish pub- ' lication, "The Economic Jburnal," j edited by England's best kno'wirj economist, Mr. J. M. Keynes, hasj just published an interesting review ? of North Carolina and the new in dustrial revolution by Prof. C. R. ' Fay. Here is the author's comment on the state's present business ac tivity. "A citizen of North Carclina. that "old North State" of some 50,000 square miles (nearly the siie of England and Wales,) with a popu lation of 2 1-2 millions, slightly more than two-third white and less than 1 percent foreign born or of for with truth all these thing* : My house, or rather the house in which I live, is made of wood which quite probably was cut from the mountain forests of my State.

For my State, which some years ago was twenty-second in -the list, is now fourth in agricultural production, following Texas, Illinois and Iowa. N.

I PLEASING INCIDENT IN IHE RELIGIOUS CAREERS 1 OF DURHAM AND ROXBORO; visit of St. Philip"! Episco church chcir to Roxboro last ning wis one of good fellowship appreciation all round. The ?ion w?? the union meeting of denominations in Roxboro, being " this time in St. Mark's Epis I church in that place. This is beautiful church of stone, with seating capacity of about two mdred. ieven members cf St. Philip's ir. this city went over.v with a ' *"mber of friends. The full choir s not able to go, which was some at of a disappointment but those went and participated in the music fully sustained the reputa tion of this splendid choir. The members of the choir going were Miss Ruth Leary, organist; Mr?. W. V- Card, Mrs. Felix Markham, Miss Rosa Wart-en, Frank W. Ben ttett, W. R. Brown and T. O. Pace. The friends accompanying the vhoiristers were Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Henley, Mrs. Frank W. Bennett, Miss Nancy Rigs bee, Miss Helen Card, J. V. Dermott und J. A. Rob inson. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and qrite*?.as many were on the outside around the doors and windows. The choir, in vestments, ntade a very imposing appearance, and they rendered the jiymtii ancU in a- manner that teas highly appreciated by the con gregation, from the expression heard at the conclusion of the services. fThey did sing well; no doubt about that. The offertory was moat beautifully and impressively ren dered. It was "Remember Now Thy Creator." The harmony of the voices and the feeling the sing ers put into its different phases held ;he undivided attention of the near r?. l* youthful rector, Bev. W. A. LUlyccop, a supply from the Semi nary of Virginia, who will hold the services during the months of July' and Asgust, preached a helpful sermon from the scriptural pas sage, "I have come that ye might have life." He is a clear thinker, and preaches with attractive mag netism. His reasons and powers are practical, and he applied the religion needed today to the affairs of ljfe. It was a wholesome and beneficial sermon. * In its conclusion. Mr. Lillycrop, in a most congenial way, at the front doors of the * church, shook hands with every one that came out, and expressed words of friendly, greet ing. Under the oak* of the church yard many, after the services were j over, fellowshippeA with the Durham Visitors and expressed their great appreciation in the visit of the Dur hamites, and the beautiful music rendered. It was a happy meeting all round, for the choir derived great joy- and pleasure in being able to render this service in a neighboring i town. I On the return trip to Durham, I about 9:15 o'clock, when the village ] of Rougemont lay in darkness and 5 deep sleep, the party used the front ' porch of the store of Pool and Wil ; kins as a banquet hall. The head : lights of the three automobiles were focused on the porch, where quite a , number of chairs, and the ladie surprised those not knowing, and ? announced that "now we will have ; refreshments," and drew on the | party one of the most delightful I spreads seen in many a day, which was an expression of joy to those who had not partaken of the eve L ning meal before going over. It was } heartily enjoyed. It is certainly troy that "kind hearts are more th*fi coronets." \jTTbia visit of Durham singers to ntoxboro was a delighC to the visi ! tors as well as the visited, and has linked up another bond -of fellow ship and kindly feeling between the "IWU ylUCM Ullll f!tt tojlg lIlVRPI BJ a happy episode in the jnemories of bolTi places ?Durham" Herald ?
